List of Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft picks
List of Pittsburgh Steelers first - round Draft picks - wikipedia List of Pittsburgh Steelers first - round Draft picks Jump to : navigation , search Byron `` Whizzer '' White was selected fourth overall in the 1938 draft -- he went on to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court . The Pittsburgh Steelers , a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , participated in the first NFL Draft prior to the 1936 season . The franchise changed its name to the Steelers prior to the 1940 season , to represent the city 's heritage of producing steel . The event , which is officially known as the `` Player Selection Meeting '' , is held each April . The draft is used as the primary means to distribute newly available talent ( primarily from college football ) equitably amongst the teams . Selections are made in reverse order based on the previous season 's record , i.e. the club with the worst record from the previous season selects first . Through 2009 , only two exceptions were made to this order : the Super Bowl champion always selects last ( 32nd ) , and the Super Bowl loser is awarded the penultimate ( 31st ) pick . Beginning in 2010 , teams making the playoffs will be seeded in reverse order depending upon how far they advance . The draft consists of seven rounds . Teams have the option of trading selections for players , cash and / or other selections ( including future year selections ) . Thus , it is not uncommon for a team 's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick , or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades . The Steelers have traded away their first - round pick eight times ; they have had two first - round selections in two drafts . The Steelers ' first selection in the inaugural NFL draft was William Shakespeare , a halfback from Notre Dame . The Steelers have selected first overall three times , drafting Bill Dudley in 1942 , Gary Glick in 1956 and Terry Bradshaw in 1970 . The team has selected second overall once , and third overall four times . Through 2009 , seven Steeler first - round picks have gone on to have playing careers deemed worthy of enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame : Dudley , Len Dawson , Joe Greene , Bradshaw , Franco Harris , Lynn Swann and Rod Woodson . The team 's most recent first - round selection was T.J. Watt , a linebacker from the University of Wisconsin .

Divorced US Capitol Police officer John Cale ( Channing Tatum ) is currently assigned to Speaker of the House Eli Raphelson ( Richard Jenkins ) after saving his nephew 's life during a tour in Afghanistan . Cale hopes to impress his politically obsessed daughter Emily ( Joey King ) by getting a job interview for the Secret Service Presidential Detail , while also getting tickets for the two of them to tour the White House . However , his interviewer , Secret Service Special Agent Carol Finnerty ( Maggie Gyllenhaal ) , a former college acquaintance of his , believes him to be unqualified due to his disrespect towards authority , and subsequently deems him ineligible for the job . Disguised as a janitor , a man detonates a bomb at the center of the US Capitol building , causing the White House to be on lockdown . Finnerty is sent to escort the Speaker to an underground command center in the Pentagon , while Vice President of the United States Alvin Hammond ( Michael Murphy ) is taken aboard Air Force Two . At the same time , mercenaries led by Emil Stenz ( Jason Clarke ) , having infiltrated the White House by disguising themselves as audio - visual repairmen , quickly overwhelm the Secret Service , take the tour group hostage and seize the White House . Cale manages to escape to go find his daughter , who was separated from him during the tour . Retiring Head of the Presidential Detail Martin Walker ( James Woods ) escorts Sawyer and his detail to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center . Once they gain access , Walker kills his detail , revealing himself to be the real leader of the attack on the White House . He wants vengeance against Sawyer after a botched black ops mission resulted in the death of his son . Cale kills a mercenary , takes his gun and radio , and rescues Sawyer . Walker and Stenz bring in Skip Tyler ( Jimmi Simpson ) to hack into the defense system , but still require Sawyer to activate the nuclear football . One of the mercenaries , Carl Killick ( Kevin Rankin ) , catches Emily recording a video of the mercenaries and takes her hostage . Cale and Sawyer contact the command structure , which uses Emily 's video to discover the identities of the mercenaries , who used to work for various government agencies . Cale and Sawyer try to escape via a tunnel but find the exit gate rigged with explosives . They are forced into the garage and escape in the presidential limo , which is attacked by Stenz and flips into the White House pool . After Sawyer and Cale are presumed dead in an explosion , Hammond is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States . Cale and Sawyer are still alive and learn that Hammond ordered an aerial incursion to take back the White House , but the mercenaries shoot down the choppers . Having already learned of Emily from the video , Stenz takes her to Walker in the Oval Office . Tyler finishes hacking into NORAD and launches a missile to shoot down Air Force One , killing Hammond and everyone else on board . Raphelson is sworn in as the 48th President of the United States and orders an air strike on the White House . Sawyer surrenders himself to Walker to save Emily . Walker attempts to force Sawyer to use the football to launch the nuclear missiles against the various cities in Iran , which will result in retaliation by many countries . Sawyer refuses at first , while Cale sets various rooms on fire as a diversion . Down in the tunnels , Tyler accidentally detonates the explosives , killing him . After killing most of the remaining mercenaries and freeing the hostages , Cale confronts Stenz and blows him up with a grenade belt during a fight . Sawyer attacks Walker , who uses Sawyer 's handprint to activate the football . Walker locks Iran 's targets , but before he can initiate the launch , Cale kills him . Emily waves a presidential flag on the front lawn , convincing the incoming fighter planes to call off the air strike .

Production ( edit ) White House Down is directed by Roland Emmerich and based on a screenplay by James Vanderbilt , who is also one of the film 's producers . Sony Pictures purchased Vanderbilt 's spec script in March 2012 for $3 million , in what The Hollywood Reporter called `` one of the biggest spec sales in quite a while '' . The journal said the script was similar `` tonally and thematically '' to the films Die Hard and Air Force One . In the following April , Sony hired Roland Emmerich as director . Emmerich began filming in July 2012 at the La Cité Du Cinéma in Montreal , Quebec , Canada . Cinematographer Anna Foerster shot the film with Arri Alexa Plus digital cameras . In 2012 , Sony competed with Millennium Films , who were producing Olympus Has Fallen ( also about a takeover of the White House ) to complete casting and to begin filming . Release ( edit ) White House Down was originally scheduled for a November 1 , 2013 release , but was moved up to a June 28 , 2013 release . The film was released on DVD and Blu - ray Disc on October 22 , 2013 . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) White House Down received mixed reviews from critics . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 50 % , based on 187 reviews , with a weighted average of 5.4 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` White House Down benefits from the leads ' chemistry , but director Roland Emmerich smothers the film with narrative clichés and choppily edited action . '' At Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average score to reviews , the film has an average score of 52 out of 100 , based on 43 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Roth Cornet of IGN gives it a 6.5 / 10 , concluding : `` White House Down is a pretty silly rehashing of previously tread action movie territory , but if you 're willing to laugh along with ( or even at ) it , it can be a highly entertaining experience . '' Andrew Chan of the Film Critics Circle of Australia writes , `` I am not entirely sure , whether I should be happy or sad that I laughed when someone got shot or bombed , but such is the manner of how the film is played out . Therefore , I prefer Olympus for this one . '' Richard Roeper , however , gave the film an F , stating that `` Everyone in White House Down is an idiot , clinically insane , a cliché , or a vehicle for shameless exploitation . '' He later named it the worst film of 2013 . Box Office ( edit ) The film grossed $73.1 million in the United States and $132.3 million internationally for a total gross of $205.4 million , against a budget of $150 million . On its opening weekend in the U.S. , the film disappointed and came in at 4th at the box office . It earned $24.9 million , less than March 's similarly themed Olympus Has Fallen ( $30.4 million opening ) . In its second weekend , the film made $13.4 million . In October 2013 , Sony announced it lost $197 million for June , July , and August 2013 , and largely blamed `` the box office flop of the movie White House Down as a key reason for the weakness '' .

Afterwards , the girl walks into a `` fairy tale convention '' at a hotel . Harwell continues to follow the girl into the hotel . Once in the hotel , Harwell tries to find the girl by looking through different rooms . However , there are short clips from Shrek each time he opens the door . Finally , he tries one more door and thinks it 's the girl . However , it is a blond - haired monkey , who dances with a girl dressed as a banana . With no luck , Harwell walks out of the hotel , but the girl speeds off in her red convertible . Hoping to catch up , he sneakily takes a red cape and borrows a silver Lexus car driven by a costumed gingerbread man who is injured on crutches . Then , Harwell winks at the camera as the chase begins . While driving , he throws his red cape up and into the street . He then stops at a party where the girl is and goes into a tent . However , he sees multiple blond - haired girls with the same red shirt on , all dancing . By the time he catches up to her , the girl goes on a boat . Harwell asks a boat captain for assistance to win the girl . The band then performs on the boat during a heavy storm . Meanwhile , Harwell and the captain are on the lookout of the girl . He finally catches her on a dock and says that she forgot her keys . Just as he is about to leave , the girl recognizes him as Steve from Smash Mouth and asks for his number . However , Harwell declines and says he has to go . Finally , the girl then chases him and yells , `` Wait ! Please ! I love you !

The New York Post praised the series for having a set of characters that are `` ... real and come from families of all stripes -- from intact to single - parent households to one boy in foster care ... '' However , most mainstream critics have n't embraced the show , indicating it as a TV - series version of an after school special , `` filled with didactic messages and a lotta wooden acting , '' in the words of Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly . The New York Times claimed that `` Secret Life '' must surely be the collective effort of an anti-pregnancy cabal . ( ... ) ABC Family means well but could not have done worse . `` Secret Life '' does n't take the fun out of teenage pregnancy , it takes the fun out of television '' and calls the show a `` Prime - Time Cautionary Tale '' . Variety magazine reported that `` ABC Family 's latest original drama wants to be a slow - motion version of `` Juno '' but settles for being an obvious , stereotype - laden teen soap ( ... ) based on first impressions , `` The Secret Life of the American Teenager '' should probably stay a secret . '' ReporterMag 's Andrew Rees says , `` The show ... might be the worst scripted drama on television . Suffering from gag - worthy dialog , horrific plot twists , terrible acting , and characters who not even the best of 3 - D glasses could give depth to , it 's a wonder how this show stays on the air . '' Brenda Hampton does not mind the poor reviews , saying , `` I 'd rather get good ratings and bad reviews than bad ratings and good reviews . '' . Despite its lackluster critical reviews , Secret Life received the highest premiere viewership ratings ever for an ABC Family original program . The pilot episode brought in 2.82 million viewers and a 0.9 / 3 share in the 18 - to 49 - year - old demographic .

Some critics praised the new developments of the show 's second season , saying they could be `` interesting material to build on . '' Jean Bently of EW Popwatch says that now that the whole `` teen going through a pregnancy '' plot has played out and the `` frustrated young mother '' thing is going on , we have room to explore some other topics . She remained hopeful that the writers will not just turn these new problems into issues of the week , instead allowing time for the characters to grieve Marshall 's death , deal with Ann 's accidental pregnancy , and explore the more emotionally complex aspects of teenage sex .

A Whiter Shade of Pale
A Whiter Shade of Pale - wikipedia A Whiter Shade of Pale Jump to : navigation , search `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' A-side label of the UK vinyl single Single by Procol Harum from the album Procol Harum B - side `` Lime Street Blues '' Released 12 May 1967 Format 7 - inch record Recorded Olympic Sound Studios , London , April 1967 Genre Baroque pop Length 4 : 03 Label Deram Songwriter ( s ) Gary Brooker , Keith Reid , Matthew Fisher Producer ( s ) Denny Cordell Procol Harum singles chronology `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' ( 1967 ) `` Homburg '' ( 1967 ) `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' ( 1967 ) `` Homburg '' ( 1967 ) `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' is the debut single by the British rock band Procol Harum , released 12 May 1967 . The single reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on 8 June 1967 and stayed there for six weeks . Without much promotion , it reached number 5 on the Bilboard pop chart in the United States . One of the anthems of the 1967 Summer of Love , it is one of fewer than 30 singles to have sold over 10 million copies worldwide . With its Bach - derived instrumental melody , soulful vocals , and unusual lyrics -- by the song 's co-authors Gary Brooker , Keith Reid and Matthew Fisher -- `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' reached number 1 in several countries when released in 1967 . In the years since , it has become an enduring classic . It was the most played song in the last 75 years in public places in the UK ( as of 2009 ) , and the United Kingdom performing rights group Phonographic Performance Limited in 2004 recognised it as the most - played record by British broadcasting of the past 70 years . Also in 2004 , Rolling Stone placed `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' 57th on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . In 1977 , the song was named joint winner ( along with Queen 's `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' ) of `` The Best British Pop Single 1952 -- 1977 '' at the Brit Awards . In 1998 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . More than 1000 recorded cover versions by other artists are known . The song has been included in many music compilations over the decades and has also been used in the soundtracks of numerous films , including The Big Chill , Purple Haze , Breaking the Waves , The Boat That Rocked , Martin Scorsese 's segment of New York Stories , Stonewall , Oblivion and Ken Burns and Lynn Novick 's documentary series The Vietnam War . Cover versions of the song have also been featured in many films , for example , by King Curtis in Withnail and I and by Annie Lennox in The Net . The original writing credits were for Brooker and Reid only . On 30 July 2009 , Matthew Fisher won co-writing credit for the music in a unanimous ruling from the Law Lords .

Drums were by session drummer Bill Eyden . A few days later , the song was re-recorded with the band 's then newly recruited drummer Bobby Harrison , but that version was discarded , and one of the original mono recordings was chosen for release . Producer for the record was Denny Cordell , and Keith Grant was the sound engineer . The song was included on the US release of the Procol Harum album , in September 1967 , but not on the later UK version . Lyrics ( edit ) Reid got the title and starting point for the song at a party . He overheard someone at the party saying to a woman , `` You 've turned a whiter shade of pale '' , and the phrase stuck in his mind . The original lyrics had four verses , of which only two are heard on the original recording . The third verse has been heard in live performances by Procol Harum , and more seldom also the fourth . The author of Procol Harum : Beyond the Pale , Claes Johansen , suggests that the song `` deals in metaphorical form with a male / female relationship which after some negotiation ends in a sexual act '' . This is supported by Tim de Lisle in Lives of the Great Songs , who remarks that the lyrics concern a drunken seduction , which is described through references to sex as a form of travel , usually nautical , using mythical and literary journeys . Other observers have also commented that the lyrics concern a sexual relationship . Contrary to the above interpretations , Reid was quoted in the February 2008 issue of Uncut magazine as saying : I was trying to conjure a mood as much as tell a straightforward , girl - leaves - boy story . With the ceiling flying away and room humming harder , I wanted to paint an image of a scene . I was n't trying to be mysterious with those images , I was trying to be evocative . I suppose it seems like a decadent scene I 'm describing . But I was too young to have experienced any decadence , then . I might have been smoking when I conceived it , but not when I wrote . It was influenced by books , not drugs . Structurally and thematically , the song is unusual in many respects . While the recorded version is 4 : 03 long , it is composed of only two verses , each with chorus . The piece is also more instrument - driven than most songs of the period , and with a much looser rhyme scheme . Its unusually allusive and referential lyrics are much more complex than most lyrics of the time ( for example , the chorus focuses on Chaucer 's `` The Miller 's Tale '' ) . Thus , this piece can be considered an early example of progressive rock . The phrase a whiter shade of pale has since gained widespread use in the English language , noticed by several dictionaries . As such , the phrase is today often used in contexts independent of any consideration of the song . It has also been heavily paraphrased , in forms like `` an Xer shade of Y '' , to the extent that it has been recognised as a snowclone -- a type of cliché and phrasal template . Composition ( edit ) The song 's distinctive , Bach - inspired organ part was played on a Hammond M102 . The song is in moderate time in C major and is characterised by the bassline moving stepwise downwards in a repeated pattern throughout . In classical music this is known as a ground bass . The harmonic structure is identical for the organ melody , the verse and the chorus , except that the chorus finishes with a cadence . The main organ melody appears at the beginning and after each verse / chorus . But it is also heard throughout , playing variations of its theme and counterpointing the vocal line . As the chorus commences `` And so it was , that later ... '' , the vocal and organ accompaniment begin a short crescendo , with the organist running his finger rapidly down and up the entire keyboard . The final instrumental fades out to silence -- a common device in pop music of the time . A BBC Radio 4 programme in the 2018 series `` Soul Music '' pointed out the resemblance between the Hammond Organ line of `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' and J.S. Bach 's Air from his Orchestral Suite No. 3 BWV1068 , ( the `` Air on the G string '' ) where the sustained opening note of the main melodic line flowers into a free - flowing melody against a descending bass line : Bach Air from Suite 3 bars 1 - 2 Bach Air from Suite 3 bars 1 - 3 Allan Moore notes `` a certain family resemblance '' that `` creates the sense of ( Bach 's ) music without actually quoting it . '' The similarity is also referred to humorously in the 1982 play The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard and in the 1991 film The Commitments . Other writers have noted similar `` family resemblances '' to other works by Bach : the Sinfonia which opens the cantata Ich steh mit einem Fuß im Grabe , BWV 156 , the organ chorale Prelude `` O Mensch , bewein ' dein ' Sünde groß '' ( O Man , Lament Your Sin So Great ) , BWV 622 , from the Orgelbüchlein ( Little Organ Book ) and the Cantata Sleepers Wake , BWV140 . The music also borrows ideas from `` When a Man Loves a Woman '' by Percy Sledge . Release and reception ( edit ) The single was released on 12 May 1967 in the United Kingdom by Deram Records and entered Record Retailer 's chart ( later the UK Singles Chart ) on 25 May . In two weeks it reached number 1 , where it stayed for six weeks . Writing in 2005 , Jim Irvin of Mojo said that its arrival at number 1 on 8 June 1967 , on the same day that the Beatles ' Sgt . Pepper 's Lonely Hearts Club Band topped the national albums chart , marked the start of the Summer of Love in Britain . According to music journalist and author Harvey Kubernik , in the context of the Summer of Love , `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' was the `` one song ( that ) stood above all others , its Everest - like status conferred by no less than John Lennon and Paul McCartney , who were enthralled by the Chaucerian wordplay and heavenly Baroque accompaniment '' . Kubernik also writes that , amid the search for higher consciousness during the flower power era , the song `` galvanised a congregation of disaffected youth dismissive of traditional religion but anxious to achieve spiritual salvation '' . In his 1981 article on the musical and societal developments of 1967 , for The History of Rock , sociomusicologist Simon Frith described `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' as the year 's `` most distinctive single '' , through its combination of `` white soul vocal and a Bach organ exercise '' and enigmatic lyrics that `` hinted at a vital secret open only to people in the right , drug - determined , state of mind '' . In the United States , the single reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 1 million copies . It also peaked at number 22 on the soul charts there . In the Netherlands , the song entered the chart at number 1 in June 1967 and again reached number 1 in July 1972 . A May 1972 re-release on Fly Records stayed in the UK charts for a total of 12 weeks and peaked at number 13 . `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' has continued to receive critical acclaim . Along with Queen 's `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' , `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' was jointly recognised as `` The Best British Pop Single 1952 -- 1977 '' at the BRIT Awards , part of Elizabeth II 's Silver Jubilee . In 1998 the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . In 2004 , it appeared at number 57 on Rolling Stone magazine 's list of the `` 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . British TV station Channel 4 placed the song at number 19 in its chart of `` The 100 Greatest No. 1 Singles '' . In 2018 , the song was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a new category for singles . Promotional films ( edit ) One of the clips for the song was filmed at Witley Court , part of which was gutted by fire in 1937 . The first promotional clip for `` A Whiter Shade of Pale '' was shot in the ruins of Witley Court in Worcestershire , England . It features four of the five musicians who played on the hit single : Gary Brooker , Matthew Fisher , David Knights and Ray Royer , in performance and walking through the ruins . Only the drummer in the video is n't on the record : early band member Bobby Harrison is seen miming to session man Bill Eyden 's drumming . The film was directed by Peter Clifton , whose insertion of Vietnam War newsreel footage caused it to be banned from airplay on the BBC 's Top of the Pops TV show . Procol Harum subsequently made a second promotional clip , using `` Scopitone '' technology . By this time , Robin Trower and B.J. Wilson had replaced Royer and Harrison in the band , so only three of the five musicians on the recording are represented . No performance footage appears in this film -- only scenes of the five musicians cavorting around London and running across fields . The same lineup , with Fisher wearing a monk 's cowl , mimed to the song on Top of the Pops , although Brooker sang live . Black - and - white footage of the performance has been shown online . The song represents 1967 on the 2004 DVD release Top of the Pops 40th Anniversary 1964 -- 2004 . There was also a film shot as part of Joel Gallen 's Deja - View music video series . Originally airing on various networks in late 1985 through 1986 , this video starred Harry Dean Stanton and Bernie Taupin , but featured no member of the band . It has also aired on VH1 Classic , and has recently surfaced online . Authorship lawsuit ( edit ) In 2005 , former Procol Harum organist Matthew Fisher filed suit in the High Court against Gary Brooker and his publisher , claiming that he co-wrote the music for the song . Fisher won the case on 20 December 2006 but was awarded 40 % of the composers ' share of the music copyright , rather than the 50 % he was seeking and was not granted royalties for the period before 2005 . Brooker and publisher Onward Music were granted leave to appeal , and a hearing on the matter was held before a panel of three judges during the week of 1 October 2007 . The decision , on 4 April 2008 , by Lord Justice Mummery , in the Court of Appeal upheld Fisher 's co-authorship but ruled that he should receive no royalties as he had taken too long ( 38 years ) to bring his claim to litigation . Full royalty rights were returned to Brooker . On 5 November 2008 , Fisher was granted permission to appeal this decision to the House of Lords . Lawyers say it is the first time the Law Lords have been asked to rule on a copyright dispute involving a song . The appeal was heard in the House of Lords on 22 -- 23 April 2009 . On 30 July 2009 the Law Lords unanimously ruled in Fisher 's favour . They noted that the delay in bringing the case had not caused any harm to the other party ; on the contrary he had benefited financially from it . They also pointed out that there were no time limits to copyright claims under English law . The right to future royalties was therefore returned to Fisher . Both the musicological basis of the judgment and its effect on the rights of musicians who contribute composition to future works have drawn some attention in the music world .

Reconstruction Era
Reconstruction era - wikipedia Reconstruction era Jump to : navigation , search Reconstruction Era 1865 -- 1877 The ruins of Richmond , Virginia after the American Civil War , newly freed African Americans voting for the first time in 1867 , Office of the Freedmen 's Bureau in Memphis , Tennessee , Memphis Riots of 1866 Date January 1 , 1863 ( 1863 - 01 - 01 ) to March 31 , 1877 ( 1877 - 03 - 31 ) ( 14 years , 2 months and 30 days ) Location United States , Southern United States Also known as Reconstruction ; Radical Reconstruction The term Reconstruction Era , in the context of the history of the United States , has two senses : the first covers the complete history of the entire country from 1865 to 1877 following the American Civil War ( 1861 to 1865 ) ; the second sense focuses on the attempted transformation of the Southern United States from 1863 to 1877 , as directed by Congress , with the reconstruction of state and society . With the three Reconstruction Amendments , the era saw the first amendments to the U.S. Constitution in decades . Three visions of Civil War memory appeared during Reconstruction : the reconciliationist vision , which was rooted in coping with the death and devastation the war had brought ; the white supremacist vision , which included terror and violence ; and the emancipationist vision , which sought full freedom , citizenship and Constitutional equality for African Americans . Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson both took moderate positions designed to bring the South back into the union as quickly as possible , while Radical Republicans in Congress sought stronger measures to upgrade the rights of African Americans , including the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution , while curtailing the rights of former Confederates , such as through the provisions of the Wade -- Davis Bill . Johnson followed a lenient policy toward ex-Confederates . Lincoln 's last speeches show that he was leaning toward supporting the enfranchisement of all freedmen , whereas Johnson was opposed to this . Johnson 's interpretations of Lincoln 's policies prevailed until the Congressional elections of 1866 in the North , which enabled the Radicals to take control of policy , remove former Confederates from power , and enfranchise the freedmen . A Republican coalition came to power in nearly all the southern states and set out to transform the society by setting up a free labor economy , using the U.S. Army and the Freedmen 's Bureau . The Bureau protected the legal rights of freedmen , negotiated labor contracts , and set up schools and churches for them . Thousands of Northerners came south as missionaries , teachers , businessmen and politicians . Some also entered politics . Hostile whites called them `` carpetbaggers '' . In early 1866 , Congress passed the Freedmen 's Bureau and Civil Rights Bills and sent them to Johnson for his signature . The first bill extended the life of the bureau , originally established as a temporary organization charged with assisting refugees and freed slaves , while the second defined all persons born in the United States as national citizens with equality before the law . After Johnson vetoed the bills , Congress overrode his veto , making the Civil Rights Act the first major bill in the history of the United States to become law through an override of a presidential veto . The Radicals in the House of Representatives , frustrated by Johnson 's opposition to Congressional Reconstruction , filed impeachment charges . The action failed by one vote in the Senate . Elected in 1868 , Republican President Ulysses S. Grant supported Congressional Reconstruction and enforced the protection of African Americans in the South through the use of the Enforcement Acts passed by Congress . Grant used the Enforcement Acts to effectively combat the Ku Klux Klan , which was essentially wiped out ( although a new incarnation of the Klan eventually would again come to national prominence in the 1920s ) , but was unable to resolve the escalating tensions inside the Republican party between the northerners on the one hand , and those Republicans originally hailing from the South on the other ( this latter group would be labelled `` Scalawags '' by those opposing Reconstruction ) . Meanwhile , `` Redeemers '' , self - styled Conservatives ( in close cooperation with a faction of the Democratic Party ) strongly opposed reconstruction . They alleged widespread corruption by the Carpetbaggers , excessive state spending and ruinous taxes . Meanwhile , public support for Reconstruction policies , requiring continued supervision of the South , faded in the North , largely due to concerns over the Panic of 1873 . The Democrats , who strongly opposed Reconstruction , regained control of the House of Representatives in 1874 . In 1877 , as part of a Congressional bargain to elect Republican Rutherford B. Hayes as president following the close 1876 presidential election , U.S. Army Troops were removed from the South , ending Reconstruction and allowing Democrats to return to power . Reconstruction was a significant chapter in the history of civil rights in the United States , and in economic history . After Reconstruction ended , the South remained a poverty - stricken `` backwater '' dependent on agriculture . White Southerners soon succeeded in re-establishing legal and political dominance over blacks through violence , intimidation and discrimination . Historian Eric Foner argues , `` What remains certain is that Reconstruction failed , and that for blacks its failure was a disaster whose magnitude can not be obscured by the genuine accomplishments that did endure .

In recent decades most historians follow Foner in dating the Reconstruction of the south as starting in 1863 ( with Emancipation and the Port Royal experiment ) rather than 1865 . The usual ending has always been 1877 . Reconstruction policies were debated in the North when the war began , and commenced in earnest after Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation , issued on January 1 , 1863 . Overview ( edit ) As Confederate states came back under control of the U.S. Army , President Abraham Lincoln set up reconstructed governments in Tennessee , Arkansas , and Louisiana during the war . He experimented by giving land to blacks in South Carolina . By fall 1865 , the new President Andrew Johnson declared the war goals of national unity and the ending of slavery achieved and reconstruction completed . Republicans in Congress , refusing to accept Johnson 's lenient terms , rejected new members of Congress , some of whom had been high - ranking Confederate officials a few months before . Johnson broke with the Republicans after vetoing two key bills that supported the Freedmen 's Bureau and provided federal civil rights to the freedmen . The 1866 Congressional elections turned on the issue of Reconstruction , producing a sweeping Republican victory in the North , and providing the Radical Republicans with sufficient control of Congress to override Johnson 's vetoes and commence their own `` Radical Reconstruction '' in 1867 . That same year , Congress removed civilian governments in the South , and placed the former Confederacy under the rule of the U.S. Army . The army conducted new elections in which the freed slaves could vote , while whites who had held leading positions under the Confederacy were temporarily denied the vote and were not permitted to run for office . In ten states , coalitions of freedmen , recent black and white arrivals from the North ( carpetbaggers ) , and white Southerners who supported Reconstruction ( scalawags ) cooperated to form Republican biracial state governments . They introduced various reconstruction programs including : funding public schools , establishing charitable institutions , raising taxes , and funding public improvements such as improved railroad transportation and shipping . Conservative opponents called the Republican regimes corrupt and instigated violence toward freedmen and whites who supported Reconstruction . Most of the violence was carried out by members of the Ku Klux Klan ( KKK ) , a secretive terrorist organization closely allied with the southern Democratic Party . Klan members attacked and intimidated blacks seeking to exercise their new civil rights , as well as Republican politicians in the south favoring those civil rights . One such politician murdered by the Klan on the eve of the 1868 presidential election was Republican Congressman James M. Hinds of Arkansas . Widespread violence in the south led to federal intervention by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1871 , which suppressed the Klan . Nevertheless , white Democrats , calling themselves `` Redeemers '' , regained control of the south state by state , sometimes using fraud and violence to control state elections . A deep national economic depression following the Panic of 1873 led to major Democratic gains in the North , the collapse of many railroad schemes in the South , and a growing sense of frustration in the North . The end of Reconstruction was a staggered process , and the period of Republican control ended at different times in different states . With the Compromise of 1877 , military intervention in Southern politics ceased and Republican control collapsed in the last three state governments in the South . This was followed by a period which white Southerners labeled `` Redemption '' , during which white - dominated state legislatures enacted Jim Crow laws and , beginning in 1890 , disenfranchised most blacks and many poor whites through a combination of constitutional amendments and electoral laws . The white Democratic Southerners ' memory of Reconstruction played a major role in imposing the system of white supremacy and second - class citizenship for blacks , known as the age of Jim Crow . Purpose ( edit ) Reconstruction addressed how the eleven seceding rebel states in the south would regain what the Constitution calls a `` republican form of government '' and be reseated in Congress , the civil status of the former leaders of the Confederacy , and the Constitutional and legal status of freedmen , especially their civil rights and whether they should be given the right to vote . Intense controversy erupted throughout the South over these issues . The laws and constitutional amendments that laid the foundation for the most radical phase of Reconstruction were adopted from 1866 to 1871 . By the 1870s , Reconstruction had officially provided freedmen with equal rights under the constitution , and blacks were voting and taking political office . Republican legislatures , coalitions of whites and blacks , established the first public school systems and numerous charitable institutions in the South . White paramilitary organizations , especially the Ku Klux Klan and also the White League and Red Shirts formed with the political aim of driving out the Republicans . They also disrupted political organizing and terrorized blacks to bar them from the polls . President Grant used federal power to effectively shut down the KKK in the early 1870s , though the other , smaller , groups continued to operate . From 1873 to 1877 , conservative whites ( calling themselves `` Redeemers '' ) regained power in the Southern states . They joined the Bourbon wing of the national Democratic Party . In the 1860s and 1870s the terms `` radical '' and `` conservative '' had distinctive meanings . `` Conservative '' was the name of a faction , often led by the planter class . Leaders who had been Whigs were committed to economic modernization , built around railroads , factories , banks and cities . Most of the `` radical '' Republicans in the North were men who believed in integrating African Americans by providing them civil rights as citizens , along with free enterprise ; most were also modernizers and former Whigs . The `` Liberal Republicans '' of 1872 shared the same outlook except they were especially opposed to the corruption they saw around President Grant , and believed that the goals of the Civil War had been achieved so that the federal military intervention could now end . Passage of the 13th , 14th , and 15th Amendments is the constitutional legacy of Reconstruction . These Reconstruction Amendments established the rights that led to Supreme Court rulings in the mid-20th century that struck down school segregation . A `` Second Reconstruction '' , sparked by the Civil Rights Movement , led to civil rights laws in 1964 and 1965 that ended segregation and re-opened the polls to blacks . Material devastation of the South in 1865 ( edit ) The Southern economy had been ruined by the war . Charleston , South Carolina : Broad Street , 1865 Further information : History of the Southern United States § Material ruin and human losses Reconstruction played out against an economy in ruin . The Confederacy in 1861 had 297 towns and cities with a total population of 835,000 people ; of these 162 with 681,000 people were at one point occupied by Union forces . Eleven were destroyed or severely damaged by war action , including Atlanta ( with an 1860 population of 9,600 ) , Charleston , Columbia , and Richmond ( with prewar populations of 40,500 , 8,100 , and 37,900 , respectively ) ; the eleven contained 115,900 people in the 1860 census , or 14 % of the urban South . The number of people who lived in the destroyed towns represented just over 1 % of the Confederacy 's combined urban and rural populations . The rate of damage in smaller towns was much lower -- only 45 courthouses were burned out of a total of 830 . Farms were in disrepair , and the prewar stock of horses , mules and cattle was much depleted ; two - fifths , or 40 % , of the South 's livestock had been killed . The South 's farms were not highly mechanized , but the value of farm implements and machinery in the 1860 Census was $81 million and was reduced by two - fifths , or 40 % , by 1870 . The transportation infrastructure lay in ruins , with little railroad or riverboat service available to move crops and animals to market . Railroad mileage was located mostly in rural areas and over two - thirds of the South 's rails , bridges , rail yards , repair shops and rolling stock were in areas reached by Union armies , which systematically destroyed what they could . Even in untouched areas , the lack of maintenance and repair , the absence of new equipment , the heavy over-use , and the deliberate relocation of equipment by the Confederates from remote areas to the war zone ensured the system would be ruined at war 's end . Restoring the infrastructure -- especially the railroad system -- became a high priority for Reconstruction state governments . The enormous cost of the Confederate war effort took a high toll on the South 's economic infrastructure . The direct costs to the Confederacy in human capital , government expenditures , and physical destruction from the war totaled $3.3 billion . By 1865 , the Confederate dollar was worthless due to high inflation , and people in the South had to resort to bartering services for goods , or else use scarce Union dollars . With the emancipation of the southern slaves , the entire economy of the South had to be rebuilt . Having lost their enormous investment in slaves , white planters had minimal capital to pay freedmen workers to bring in crops . As a result , a system of sharecropping was developed where landowners broke up large plantations and rented small lots to the freedmen and their families . The South was transformed from an elite minority of landed gentry slaveholders into a tenant farming agriculture system . The end of the Civil War was accompanied by a large migration of new freed people to the cities . In the cities , African Americans were relegated to the lowest paying jobs such as unskilled and service labor . Men worked as rail workers , rolling and lumber mills workers , and hotel workers . The large population of slave artisans during the antebellum period had not been translated into a large number of freemen artisans during Reconstruction . Black women were largely confined to domestic work employed as cooks , maids , and child nurses . Others worked in hotels . A large number became laundresses . The dislocations had a severe negative impact on the black population , with a large amount of sickness and death . Over a quarter of Southern white men of military age -- the backbone of the South 's white workforce -- died during the war , leaving countless families destitute . Per capita income for white southerners declined from $125 in 1857 to a low of $80 in 1879 . By the end of the 19th century and well into the 20th century , the South was locked into a system of poverty . How much of this failure was caused by the war and by previous reliance on agriculture remains the subject of debate among economists and historians . Restoring the South to the Union ( edit ) A political cartoon of Andrew Johnson and Abraham Lincoln , 1865 , entitled `` The Rail Splitter At Work Repairing the Union . '' The caption reads ( Johnson ) : Take it quietly Uncle Abe and I will draw it closer than ever . ( Lincoln ) : A few more stitches Andy and the good old Union will be mended . During the Civil War , the Radical Republican leaders argued that slavery and the Slave Power had to be permanently destroyed . Moderates said this could be easily accomplished as soon as Confederate armies surrendered and the Southern states repealed secession and accepted the 13th Amendment -- most of which happened by December 1865 . President Lincoln was the leader of the moderate Republicans and wanted to speed up Reconstruction and reunite the nation painlessly and quickly . Lincoln formally began Reconstruction in late 1863 with his Ten percent plan , which went into operation in several states but which Radical Republicans opposed . Lincoln pocket vetoed the Radical plan , the Wade -- Davis Bill of 1864 , which was much more strict than the Ten - Percent Plan . By late 1866 , the opposing faction of Radical Republicans was skeptical of Southern intentions . White reactions included outbreaks of mob violence against blacks , such as the Memphis riots of 1866 and the New Orleans riot . Radical Republicans demanded a prompt and strong federal response to protect freed - people and curb southern racism . Congressman Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania and Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts led the Radicals . Sumner argued that secession had destroyed statehood but the Constitution still extended its authority and its protection over individuals , as in existing U.S. territories . Stevens and his followers viewed secession as having left the states in a status like new territories . The Republicans sought to prevent Southern politicians from `` restoring the historic subordination of Negroes '' . Since slavery was abolished , the three - fifths compromise no longer applied to counting the population of blacks . After the 1870 census , the South would gain numerous additional representatives in Congress , based on the population of freedmen . One Illinois Republican expressed a common fear that if the South were allowed to simply restore its previous established powers , that the `` reward of treason will be an increased representation '' . Upon Lincoln 's assassination in April 1865 , Andrew Johnson of Tennessee , who had been elected with Lincoln in 1864 as vice president , became president . Johnson rejected the Radical program of Reconstruction and instead appointed his own governors and tried to finish reconstruction by the end of 1865 . Thaddeus Stevens vehemently opposed President Johnson 's plans for an abrupt end to Reconstruction , insisting that Reconstruction must `` revolutionize Southern institutions , habits , and manners ... The foundations of their institutions ... must be broken up and relaid , or all our blood and treasure have been spent in vain . '' Johnson broke decisively with the Republicans in Congress when he vetoed the Civil Rights Act in early 1865 . While Democrats cheered , the Republicans pulled together , passed the bill again , and overturned Johnson 's repeat veto . Full - scale political warfare now existed between Johnson ( now allied with the Democrats ) and the Radical Republicans . Congress rejected Johnson 's argument that he had the war power to decide what to do , since the war was over . Congress decided it had the primary authority to decide how Reconstruction should proceed , because the Constitution stated the United States had to guarantee each state a republican form of government . The Radicals insisted that meant Congress decided how Reconstruction should be achieved . The issues were multiple : who should decide , Congress or the president ? How should republicanism operate in the South ? What was the status of the former Confederate states ? What was the citizenship status of the leaders of the Confederacy ? What was the citizenship and suffrage status of freedmen ? The election of 1866 decisively changed the balance of power , giving the Republicans two - thirds majorities in both houses of Congress , and enough votes to overcome Johnson 's vetoes . They moved to impeach Johnson because of his constant attempts to thwart Radical Reconstruction measures , by using the Tenure of Office Act . Johnson was acquitted by one vote , but he lost the influence to shape Reconstruction policy . The Republican Congress established military districts in the South and used Army personnel to administer the region until new governments loyal to the Union -- that accepted the 14th Amendment and the right of freedmen to vote -- could be established . Congress temporarily suspended the ability to vote of approximately 10,000 to 15,000 former Confederate officials and senior officers , while constitutional amendments gave full citizenship to all African Americans , and suffrage to the adult men . With the power to vote , freedmen started participating in politics . While many slaves were illiterate , educated blacks ( including escaped slaves ) moved down from the North to aid them , and natural leaders also stepped forward . They elected white and black men to represent them in constitutional conventions . A Republican coalition of freedmen , southerners supportive of the Union ( derisively called scalawags by white Democrats ) , and northerners who had migrated to the South ( derisively called carpetbaggers ) -- some of whom were returning natives , but were mostly Union veterans -- organized to create constitutional conventions . They created new state constitutions to set new directions for southern states . Loyalty ( edit ) The issue of loyalty emerged in the debates over the Wade -- Davis Bill of 1864 . The bill required voters to take the `` ironclad oath '' , swearing they had never supported the Confederacy or been one of its soldiers . Pursuing a policy of `` malice toward none '' announced in his second inaugural address , Lincoln asked voters only to support the Union . The Radicals lost support following Lincoln 's veto of the Wade -- Davis Bill but regained strength after Lincoln 's assassination in April 1865 . Suffrage ( edit ) Monument in honor of the Grand Army of the Republic , organized after the war Congress had to consider how to restore to full status and representation within the Union those southern states that had declared their independence from the United States and had withdrawn their representation . Suffrage for former Confederates was one of two main concerns . A decision needed to be made whether to allow just some or all former Confederates to vote ( and to hold office ) . The moderates in Congress wanted virtually all of them to vote , but the Radicals resisted . They repeatedly imposed the ironclad oath , which would effectively have allowed no former Confederates to vote . Historian Harold Hyman says that in 1866 Congressmen `` described the oath as the last bulwark against the return of ex-rebels to power , the barrier behind which Southern Unionists and Negroes protected themselves . '' Radical Republican leader Thaddeus Stevens proposed , unsuccessfully , that all former Confederates lose the right to vote for five years . The compromise that was reached disenfranchised many Confederate civil and military leaders . No one knows how many temporarily lost the vote , but one estimate was that it was as high as 10,000 to 15,000 out of a total white population of roughly eight million . Second , and closely related , was the issue of whether the roughly four million freedmen should be allowed to vote . The issue was how to receive the four million Freedmen as citizens . If they were to be fully counted as citizens , some sort of representation for apportionment of seats in Congress had to be determined . Before the war , the population of slaves had been counted as three - fifths of a corresponding number of free whites . By having four million freedmen counted as full citizens , the South would gain additional seats in Congress . If blacks were denied the vote and the right to hold office , then only whites would represent them . Many conservatives , including most white southerners , northern Democrats , and some northern Republicans , opposed black voting . Some northern states that had referenda on the subject limited the ability of their own small populations of blacks to vote . Lincoln had supported a middle position to allow some black men to vote , especially army veterans . Johnson also believed that such service should be rewarded with citizenship . Lincoln proposed giving the vote to `` the very intelligent , and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks . '' In 1864 , Governor Johnson said , `` The better class of them will go to work and sustain themselves , and that class ought to be allowed to vote , on the ground that a loyal negro is more worthy than a disloyal white man . '' As President in 1865 , Johnson wrote to the man he appointed as governor of Mississippi , recommending , `` If you could extend the elective franchise to all persons of color who can read the Constitution in English and write their names , and to all persons of color who own real estate valued at least two hundred and fifty dollars , and pay taxes thereon , you would completely disarm the adversary ( Radicals in Congress ) , and set an example the other states will follow . '' Freedmen voting in New Orleans , 1867 Charles Sumner and Thaddeus Stevens , leaders of the Radical Republicans , were initially hesitant to enfranchise the largely illiterate Freedmen . Sumner preferred at first impartial requirements that would have imposed literacy restrictions on blacks and whites . He believed that he would not succeed in passing legislation to disfranchise illiterate whites who already had the vote . In the South , many poor whites were illiterate as there was almost no public education before the war . In 1880 , for example , the white illiteracy rate was about 25 % in Tennessee , Kentucky , Alabama , South Carolina , and Georgia ; and as high as 33 % in North Carolina . This compares with the 9 % national rate , and a black rate of illiteracy that was over 70 % in the South . By 1900 , however , with emphasis within the black community on education , the majority of blacks had achieved literacy . Sumner soon concluded that `` there was no substantial protection for the freedman except in the franchise . '' This was necessary , he stated , `` ( 1 ) For his own protection ; ( 2 ) For the protection of the white Unionist ; and ( 3 ) For the peace of the country . We put the musket in his hands because it was necessary ; for the same reason we must give him the franchise . '' The support for voting rights was a compromise between moderate and Radical Republicans . The Republicans believed that the best way for men to get political experience was to be able to vote and to participate in the political system . They passed laws allowing all male freedmen to vote . In 1867 , black men voted for the first time . Over the course of Reconstruction , more than 1,500 African Americans held public office in the South ; some of them were men who had escaped to the North and gained educations , and returned to the South . They did not hold office in numbers representative of their proportion in the population , but often elected whites to represent them . The question of women 's suffrage was also debated but was rejected . From 1890 to 1908 , southern states passed new constitutions and laws that disfranchised most blacks and tens of thousands of poor whites with new voter registration and electoral rules . When establishing new requirements such as subjectively administered literacy tests , in some states , they used `` grandfather clauses '' to enable illiterate whites to vote . Southern treaty commission ( edit ) The Five Civilized Tribes that had been relocated to Indian Territory ( now part of Oklahoma ) held black slaves and signed treaties supporting the Confederacy . During the war , a war among pro - and anti-Union Indians had raged . Congress passed a statute that gave the President the authority to suspend the appropriations of any tribe if the tribe is `` in a state of actual hostility to the government of the United States ... and , by proclamation , to declare all treaties with such tribe to be abrogated by such tribe '' ( 25 USC Sec. 72 ) . As a component of Reconstruction , the Interior Department ordered a meeting of representatives from all Indian tribes which had affiliated with the Confederacy . The Council , the Southern Treaty Commission , was first held in Ft. Smith , Arkansas in September 1865 , was attended by hundreds of Indians representing dozens of tribes . Over the next several years the commission negotiated treaties with tribes that resulted in additional relocations to Indian Territory and the de facto creation ( initially by treaty ) of an unorganized Oklahoma Territory . Lincoln 's presidential Reconstruction ( edit ) Abraham Lincoln 16th President of the United States 1861 -- 1865 Preliminary events ( edit ) President Lincoln signed two Confiscation Acts into law , the first on August 6 , 1861 , and the second on July 17 , 1862 , safeguarding fugitive slaves from the Confederacy that came over into Union lines and giving them indirect emancipation if their masters continued insurrection against the United States . The laws allowed the confiscation of lands for colonization from those who aided and supported the rebellion . However , these laws had limited effect as they were poorly funded by Congress and poorly enforced by Attorney General Edward Bates . In August 1861 , Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont , Union commander of the Western Department , declared martial law in Missouri , confiscated Confederate property , and emancipated their slaves . President Lincoln immediately ordered Frémont to rescind his emancipation declaration stating , `` I think there is great danger that ... the liberating slaves of traitorous owners , will alarm our Southern Union friends , and turn them against us -- perhaps ruin our fair prospect for Kentucky . '' After Frémont refused to rescind the emancipation order , President Lincoln terminated him from active duty on November 2 , 1861 . Lincoln was concerned that border states would bolt from the Union if slaves were given their freedom . On May 26 , 1862 , Union Maj. Gen. David Hunter emancipated slaves in South Carolina , Georgia , and Florida stated all `` persons ... heretofore held as slaves ... forever free . '' Lincoln , embarrassed by the order , rescinded Hunter 's declaration and canceled the emancipations . On April 16 , 1862 Lincoln signed a bill into law outlawing slavery in Washington D.C. and freeing the estimated 3,500 slaves in the city and on June 19 , 1862 he signed legislation outlawing slavery in all U.S. territories . On July 17 , 1862 under the authority of the Confiscation Acts and an amended Force Bill of 1795 , he authorized the recruitment of freed slaves into the Union army and seizure of any Confederate property for military purposes . Gradual emancipation and compensation ( edit ) In an effort to keep border states in the Union , President Lincoln as early as 1861 designed gradual compensated emancipation programs paid for by government bonds . Lincoln desired Delaware , Maryland , Kentucky , and Missouri to `` adopt a system of gradual emancipation which should work the extinction of slavery in twenty years . '' On March 26 , 1862 Lincoln met with Senator Charles Sumner and recommended that a special joint session of Congress be convened to discuss giving financial aid to any border states who initiated a gradual emancipation plan . In April 1862 , the joint session of Congress met , however , the border states were not interested and did not make any response to Lincoln or any Congressional emancipation proposal . Lincoln advocated compensated emancipation during the 1865 River Queen steamer conference . Colonization ( edit ) In August 1862 , President Lincoln met with African - American leaders and urged them to colonize some place in Central America . Lincoln planned to free the Southern slaves in the Emancipation Proclamation and he was concerned that freedmen would not be well treated in the United States by whites in both the North and South . Although Lincoln gave assurances that the United States government would support and protect any colonies , the leaders declined the offer of colonization . Many free blacks had been opposed to colonization plans in the past and wanted to remain in the United States . President Lincoln persisted in his colonization plan believing that emancipation and colonization were part of the same program . Lincoln was successful by April 1863 at sending black colonists to Haiti and 453 to Chiriqui in Central America ; however , none of the colonies was able to remain self - sufficient . Frederick Douglass , a prominent 19th - century American civil rights activist , criticized that Lincoln was `` showing all his inconsistencies , his pride of race and blood , his contempt for Negroes and his canting hypocrisy . '' African Americans , according to Douglass , wanted citizen rights rather than to be colonized . Historians debate if Lincoln gave up on African - American colonization at the end of 1863 or if he actually planned to continue this policy up until 1865 . Military governors installed ( edit ) Starting in March 1862 , in an effort to forestall Reconstruction by the Radicals in Congress , President Lincoln installed military governors in certain rebellious states under Union military control . Although the states would not be recognized by the Radicals until an undetermined time , installation of military governors kept the administration of Reconstruction under Presidential control , rather than that of the increasingly unsympathetic Radical Congress . On March 3 , 1862 , Lincoln installed a loyalist Democrat , Senator Andrew Johnson , as Military Governor with the rank of Brigadier General in his home state of Tennessee . In May 1862 , Lincoln appointed Edward Stanly Military Governor of the coastal region of North Carolina with the rank of Brigadier General . Stanly resigned almost a year later when he angered Lincoln by closing two schools for black children in New Bern . After Lincoln installed Brigadier General George F. Sheply as Military Governor of Louisiana in May 1862 , Sheply sent two anti-slavery representatives , Benjamin Flanders and Michael Hahn , elected in December 1862 , to the House which capitulated and voted to seat them . In July 1862 , Lincoln installed Colonel John S. Phelps as Military Governor of Arkansas , though he resigned soon after due to poor health . Emancipation Proclamation ( edit ) Main article : Emancipation Proclamation Celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation in Massachusetts , 1862 In July 1862 , President Lincoln became convinced that `` a military necessity '' was needed to strike at slavery in order to win the Civil War for the Union . The Confiscation Acts were only having a minimal effect to end slavery . On July 22 , he wrote a first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation that freed the slaves in states in rebellion . After he showed his cabinet the document , slight alterations were made in the wording . Lincoln decided that the defeat of the Confederate invasion of the North at Sharpsburg was enough of a battlefield victory to enable him to release the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation that gave the rebels 100 days to return to the Union or the actual Proclamation would be issued . On January 1 , 1863 , the actual Emancipation Proclamation was issued , specifically naming ten states in which slaves would be `` forever free '' . The proclamation did not name the states of Tennessee , Kentucky , Missouri , Maryland , and Delaware , and specifically excluded numerous counties in some other states . Eventually , as the Union Armies advanced into the Confederacy millions of slaves were set free . Many of these freedmen joined the Union army and fought in battles against the Confederate forces . Yet hundreds of thousands of freed slaves died during emancipation from illness that devastated army regiments . Freed slaves suffered from smallpox , yellow fever , and malnutrition . Louisiana 10 % electorate plan ( edit ) Main articles : Wade -- Davis Bill and Ten percent plan President Abraham Lincoln was concerned to effect a speedy restoration of the Confederate states to the Union after the Civil War . In 1863 , President Lincoln proposed a moderate plan for the Reconstruction of the captured Confederate State of Louisiana . The plan granted amnesty to Rebels who took an oath of loyalty to the Union . Black Freedmen workers were tied to labor on plantations for one year at $10 a month pay . Only 10 % of the state 's electorate had to take the loyalty oath in order for the state to be readmitted into U.S. Congress . The state was required to abolish slavery in its new constitution . Identical Reconstruction plans would be adopted in Arkansas and Tennessee . By December 1864 , the Lincoln plan of Reconstruction had been enacted in Louisiana and the legislature sent two Senators and five Representatives to take their seats in Washington . However , Congress refused to count any of the votes from Louisiana , Arkansas , and Tennessee , in essence rejecting Lincoln 's moderate Reconstruction plan . Congress , at this time controlled by the Radicals , proposed the Wade -- Davis Bill that required a majority of the state electorates to take the oath of loyalty to be admitted to Congress . Lincoln pocket - vetoed the bill and the rift widened between the moderates , who wanted to save the Union and win the war , and the Radicals , who wanted to effect a more complete change within Southern society . Frederick Douglass denounced Lincoln 's 10 % electorate plan as undemocratic since state admission and loyalty only depended on a minority vote . Legalization of slave unions ( edit ) Before 1864 , slave marriages had not been recognized legally ; emancipation did not affect them . When freed , many made official marriages . Before emancipation , slaves could not enter into contracts , including the marriage contract . Not all free people formalized their unions . Some continued to have common - law marriages or community - recognized relationships . The acknowledgement of marriage by the state increased the state 's recognition of freedpeople as legal actors and eventually helped make the case for parental rights for freedpeople against the practice of apprenticeship of black children . These children were legally taken away from their families under the guise of `` providing them with guardianship and ' good ' homes until they reached the age of consent at twenty - one '' under acts such as the Georgia 1866 Apprentice Act . Such children were generally used as sources of unpaid labor . Freedmen 's Bureau ( edit ) Main article : Freedmen 's Bureau Northern teachers traveled into the South to provide education and training for the newly freed population . On March 3 , 1865 the Freedmen 's Bureau Bill became law , sponsored by the Republicans to aid freedmen and white refugees . A federal Bureau was created to provide food , clothing , fuel , and advice on negotiating labor contracts . It attempted to oversee new relations between freedmen and their former masters in a free labor market . The Act , without deference to a person 's color , authorized the Bureau to lease confiscated land for a period of three years and to sell it in portions of up to 40 acres ( 16 ha ) per buyer . The Bureau was to expire one year after the termination of the War . Lincoln was assassinated before he could appoint a commissioner of the Bureau . A popular myth was that the Act offered 40 acres and a mule , or that slaves had been promised this . With the help of the Bureau , the recently freed slaves began voting , forming political parties , and assuming the control of labor in many areas . The Bureau helped to start a change of power in the South that drew national attention from the Republicans in the North to the conservative Democrats in the South . This is especially evident in the election between Grant and Seymour ( Johnson did not get the Democratic nomination ) , where almost 700,000 black voters voted and swayed the election 300,000 votes in Grant 's favor . Even with the benefits that it gave to the freedmen , the Freedmen 's Bureau was unable to operate effectively in certain areas . Terrorizing freedmen for trying to vote , hold a political office , or own land , the Ku Klux Klan was the antithesis to the Freedmen 's Bureau . Bans color discrimination ( edit ) Other legislation was signed that broadened equality and rights for African Americans . Lincoln outlawed discrimination on account of color , in carrying U.S. mail , in riding on public street cars in Washington D.C. , and in pay for soldiers . February 1865 peace conference ( edit ) Lincoln and Secretary of State William H. Seward met with three southern representatives to discuss the peaceful reconstruction of the Union and the Confederacy on February 3 , 1865 in Hampton Roads , Virginia . The southern delegation included Confederate vice-president , Alexander H. Stephens , John A. Campbell , and Robert M.T. Hunter . The southerners proposed the Union recognition of the Confederacy , a joint Union - Confederate attack on Mexico to oust dictator Maximillian , and an alternative subordinate status of servitude for blacks rather than slavery . Lincoln flatly rejected recognition of the Confederacy , and said that the slaves covered by his Emancipation Proclamation would not be re-enslaved . He said that the Union States were about to pass the Thirteenth Amendment outlawing slavery . Lincoln urged the governor of Georgia to remove Confederate troops and `` ratify this Constitutional Amendment prospectively , so as to take effect -- say in five years ... Slavery is doomed . '' Lincoln also urged compensated emancipation for the slaves as he thought the North should be willing to share the costs of freedom . Although the meeting was cordial , the parties did not settle on agreements . Historical legacy debated ( edit ) Lincoln continued to advocate his Louisiana Plan as a model for all states up until his assassination on April 14 , 1865 . The plan successfully started the Reconstruction process of ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment in all states . Lincoln is typically portrayed as taking the moderate position and fighting the Radical positions . There is considerable debate on how well Lincoln , had he lived , would have handled Congress during the Reconstruction process that took place after the Civil War ended . One historical camp argues that Lincoln 's flexibility , pragmatism , and superior political skills with Congress would have solved Reconstruction with far less difficulty . The other camp believes the Radicals would have attempted to impeach Lincoln , just as they did to his successor , Andrew Johnson , in 1868 . Johnson 's presidential Reconstruction ( edit ) Main article : Presidency of Andrew Johnson Andrew Johnson , 17th President of the United States 1865 -- 1869 Northern anger over the assassination of Lincoln and the immense human cost of the war led to demands for punitive policies . Vice President Andrew Johnson had taken a hard line and spoke of hanging rebel Confederates , but when he succeeded Lincoln as President , Johnson took a much softer position , pardoning many Confederate leaders and former Confederates . Jefferson Davis was held in prison for two years , but other Confederate leaders were not . There were no treason trials . Only one person -- Captain Henry Wirz , the commandant of the prison camp in Andersonville , Georgia -- was executed for war crimes . Andrew Johnson 's conservative view of Reconstruction did not include blacks or former slaves involvement in government and he refused to heed Northern concerns when southern state legislatures implemented Black Codes that set the status of the freedmen much lower than that of citizens . Smith argues that , `` Johnson attempted to carry forward what he considered to be Lincoln 's plans for Reconstruction . '' McKitrick says that in 1865 Johnson had strong support in the Republican Party , `` It was naturally from the great moderate sector of Unionist opinion in the North that Johnson could draw his greatest comfort . '' Billington says , `` One faction , the Moderate Republicans under the leadership of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson , favored a mild policy toward the South . '' Lincoln biographers Randall and Current argued that : It is likely that had he lived , Lincoln would have followed a policy similar to Johnson 's , that he would have clashed with congressional Radicals , that he would have produced a better result for the freedmen than occurred , and that his political skills would have helped him avoid Johnson 's mistakes . '' Historians agree that President Johnson was an inept politician who lost all his advantages by his clumsy moves . He broke with Congress in early 1866 and then became defiant and tried to block enforcement of Reconstruction laws passed by the U.S. Congress . He was in constant conflict constitutionally with the Radicals in Congress over the status of freedmen and whites in the defeated South . Although resigned to the abolition of slavery , many former Confederates were unwilling to accept both social changes and political domination by former slaves . In the words of Benjamin F. Perry , President Johnson 's choice as the provisional governor of South Carolina : `` First , the Negro is to be invested with all political power , and then the antagonism of interest between capital and labor is to work out the result . '' However , the fears of the mostly conservative planter elite and other leading white citizens were partly assuaged by the actions of President Johnson , who ensured that a wholesale land redistribution from the planters to the freedman did not occur . President Johnson ordered that confiscated or abandoned lands administered by the Freedmen 's Bureau would not be redistributed to the freedmen but be returned to pardoned owners . Land was returned that would have been forfeited under the Confiscation Acts passed by Congress in 1861 and 1862 . Freedmen and the enactment of black codes ( edit ) Main article : Black Codes ( United States ) An October 24th , 1874 Harper 's Magazine editorial cartoon by Thomas Nast denouncing KKK and White League murders of innocent blacks Southern state governments quickly enacted the restrictive `` black codes '' . However , they were abolished in 1866 and seldom had effect , because the Freedmen 's Bureau ( not the local courts ) handled the legal affairs of freedmen . The Black Codes indicated the plans of the southern whites for the former slaves . The freedmen would have more rights than did free blacks before the war , but they would still have only a limited set of second - class civil rights , no voting rights and no citizenship . They could not own firearms , serve on a jury in a lawsuit involving whites or move about without employment . The Black Codes outraged northern opinion . They were overthrown by the Civil Rights Act of 1866 that gave the freedmen full legal equality ( except for the right to vote ) . The freedmen , with the strong backing of the Freedmen 's Bureau , rejected gang - labor work patterns that had been used in slavery . Instead of gang labor , freedpeople preferred family - based labor groups . They forced planters to bargain for their labor . Such bargaining soon led to the establishment of the system of sharecropping , which gave the freedmen greater economic independence and social autonomy than gang labor . However , because they lacked capital and the planters continued to own the means of production ( tools , draft animals and land ) , the freedmen were forced into producing cash crops ( mainly cotton ) for the land - owners and merchants , and they entered into a crop - lien system . Widespread poverty , disruption to an agricultural economy too dependent on cotton , and the falling price of cotton , led within decades to the routine indebtedness of the majority of the freedmen , and poverty by many planters . Northern officials gave varying reports on conditions for the freedmen in the South . One harsh assessment came from Carl Schurz , who reported on the situation in the states along the Gulf Coast . His report documented dozens of extra-judicial killings and claimed that hundreds or thousands more African Americans were killed . The number of murders and assaults perpetrated upon Negroes is very great ; we can form only an approximative estimate of what is going on in those parts of the South which are not closely garrisoned , and from which no regular reports are received , by what occurs under the very eyes of our military authorities . As to my personal experience , I will only mention that during my two days sojourn at Atlanta , one Negro was stabbed with fatal effect on the street , and three were poisoned , one of whom died . While I was at Montgomery , one negro was cut across the throat evidently with intent to kill , and another was shot , but both escaped with their lives . Several papers attached to this report give an account of the number of capital cases that occurred at certain places during a certain period of time . It is a sad fact that the perpetration of those acts is not confined to that class of people which might be called the rabble . Carl Schurz , `` Report on the Condition of the South '' , December 1865 ( U.S. Senate Exec . Doc . No. 2 , 39th Congress , 1st session ) . The report included sworn testimony from soldiers and officials of the Freedmen 's Bureau . In Selma , Alabama , Major J.P. Houston noted that whites who killed twelve African Americans in his district never came to trial . Many more killings never became official cases . Captain Poillon described white patrols in southwestern Alabama who board some of the boats ; after the boats leave they hang , shoot , or drown the victims they may find on them , and all those found on the roads or coming down the rivers are almost invariably murdered . The bewildered and terrified freedmen know not what to do -- to leave is death ; to remain is to suffer the increased burden imposed upon them by the cruel taskmaster , whose only interest is their labor , wrung from them by every device an inhuman ingenuity can devise ; hence the lash and murder is resorted to intimidate those whom fear of an awful death alone cause to remain , while patrols , Negro dogs and spies , disguised as Yankees , keep constant guard over these unfortunate people . Much of the violence that was perpetrated against African Americans was shaped by gendered prejudices regarding African Americans . Black women were in a particularly vulnerable situation . To convict a white man of sexually assaulting black women in this period was exceedingly difficult . The South 's judicial system had been wholly refigured to make one of its primary purposes the coercion of African Americans to comply with the social customs and labor demands of whites . Trials were discouraged and attorneys for black misdemeanor defendants were difficult to find . The goal of county courts was a fast , uncomplicated trial with a resulting conviction . Most blacks were unable to pay their fines or bail , and `` the most common penalty was nine months to a year in a slave mine or lumber camp . '' The South 's judicial system was rigged to generate fees and claim bounties , not to ensure public protection . Black women were socially constructed as sexually avaricious and since they were portrayed as having little virtue , society held that they could not be raped . One report indicates two freedwomen , Frances Thompson and Lucy Smith , describe their violent sexual assault during the Memphis Riots of 1866 . However , black women were vulnerable even in times of relative normalcy . Sexual assaults on African - American women were so pervasive , particularly on the part of their white employers , that black men sought to reduce the contact between white males and black females by having the women in their family avoid doing work that was closely overseen by whites . Black men were construed as being extremely sexually aggressive and their supposed or rumored threats to white women were often used as a pretext for lynching and castrations . Moderate responses ( edit ) During fall 1865 , out of response to the Black codes and worrisome signs of Southern recalcitrance , the Radical Republicans blocked the readmission of the former rebellious states to the Congress . Johnson , however , was content with allowing former Confederate states into the Union as long as their state governments adopted the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery . By December 6 , 1865 , the amendment was ratified and Johnson considered Reconstruction over . Johnson was following the moderate Lincoln Presidential Reconstruction policy to get the states readmitted as soon as possible . Congress , however , controlled by the Radicals , had other plans . The Radicals were led by Charles Sumner in the Senate and Thaddeus Stevens in the House of Representatives . Congress , on December 4 , 1865 , rejected Johnson 's moderate Presidential Reconstruction , and organized the Joint Committee on Reconstruction , a 15 - member panel to devise reconstruction requirements for the Southern states to be restored to the Union . In January 1866 , Congress renewed the Freedmen 's Bureau ; however , Johnson vetoed the Freedmen 's Bureau Bill in February 1866 . Although Johnson had sympathies for the plights of the freedmen , he was against federal assistance . An attempt to override the veto failed on February 20 , 1866 . This veto shocked the Congressional Radicals . In response , both the Senate and House passed a joint resolution not to allow any Senator or Representative seat admittance until Congress decided when Reconstruction was finished . Senator Lyman Trumbull of Illinois , leader of the moderate Republicans , took affront at the black codes . He proposed the first Civil Rights Law , because the abolition of slavery was empty if laws are to be enacted and enforced depriving persons of African descent of privileges which are essential to freemen ... A law that does not allow a colored person to go from one county to another , and one that does not allow him to hold property , to teach , to preach , are certainly laws in violation of the rights of a freeman ... The purpose of this bill is to destroy all these discriminations . The key to the bill was the opening section : All persons born in the United States ... are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States ; and such citizens of every race and color , without regard to any previous condition of slavery ... shall have the same right in every State ... to make and enforce contracts , to sue , be parties , and give evidence , to inherit , purchase , lease , sell , hold , and convey real and personal property , and to full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and property , as is enjoyed by white citizens , and shall be subject to like punishment , pains , and penalties and to none other , any law , statute , ordinance , regulation , or custom to the Contrary notwithstanding . The bill did not give Freedmen the right to vote . Congress quickly passed the Civil Rights bill ; the Senate on February 2 voted 33 -- 12 ; the House on March 13 voted 111 -- 38 . Johnson 's vetoes ( edit ) The debate over reconstruction and the Freedmen 's Bureau was nationwide . This 1866 Pennsylvania election poster alleged that the Bureau kept the Negro in idleness at the expense of the hard working white taxpayer . A racist caricature of an African American is depicted . Although strongly urged by moderates in Congress to sign the Civil Rights bill , Johnson broke decisively with them by vetoing it on March 27 , 1866 . His veto message objected to the measure because it conferred citizenship on the freedmen at a time when eleven out of thirty - six states were unrepresented and attempted to fix by Federal law `` a perfect equality of the white and black races in every State of the Union . '' Johnson said it was an invasion by Federal authority of the rights of the States ; it had no warrant in the Constitution and was contrary to all precedents . It was a `` stride toward centralization and the concentration of all legislative power in the national government . '' The Democratic Party , proclaiming itself the party of white men , north and south , supported Johnson . However the Republicans in Congress overrode his veto ( the Senate by the close vote of 33 : 15 , the House by 122 : 41 ) and the Civil Rights bill became law . Congress also passed a toned - down Freedmen 's Bureau Bill ; Johnson quickly vetoed as he had done to the previous bill . Once again , however , Congress had enough support and overrode Johnson 's veto . The last moderate proposal was the Fourteenth Amendment , whose principal drafter was Representative John Bingham . It was designed to put the key provisions of the Civil Rights Act into the Constitution , but it went much further . It extended citizenship to everyone born in the United States ( except visitors and Indians on reservations ) , penalized states that did not give the vote to freedmen , and most importantly , created new federal civil rights that could be protected by federal courts . It guaranteed the Federal war debt would be paid ( and promised the Confederate debt would never be paid ) . Johnson used his influence to block the amendment in the states since three - fourths of the states were required for ratification ( the amendment was later ratified . ) . The moderate effort to compromise with Johnson had failed , and a political fight broke out between the Republicans ( both Radical and moderate ) on one side , and on the other side , Johnson and his allies in the Democratic Party in the North , and the conservative groupings ( which used different names ) in each southern state . Radical Reconstruction ( edit ) 1868 Republican cartoon identifies Democratic candidates Seymour and Blair ( right ) with KKK violence and with Confederate soldiers ( left ) . Concerned that President Johnson viewed Congress as an `` illegal body '' and wanted to overthrow the government , Republicans in Congress took control of Reconstruction policies after the election of 1866 . Johnson ignored the policy mandate , and he openly encouraged southern states to deny ratification of the 14th Amendment ( except for Tennessee , all former Confederate states did refuse to ratify , as did the border states of Delaware , Maryland and Kentucky ) . Radical Republicans in Congress , led by Stevens and Sumner , opened the way to suffrage for male freedmen . They were generally in control , although they had to compromise with the moderate Republicans ( the Democrats in Congress had almost no power ) . Historians refer to this period as `` Radical Reconstruction '' or `` Congressional Reconstruction . '' The South 's white leaders , who held power in the immediate postwar era before the vote was granted to the freedmen , renounced secession and slavery , but not white supremacy . People who had previously held power were angered in 1867 when new elections were held . New Republican lawmakers were elected by a coalition of white Unionists , freedmen and northerners who had settled in the South . Some leaders in the South tried to accommodate to new conditions . Constitutional amendments ( edit ) Three Constitutional amendments , known as the Reconstruction Amendments , were adopted . The 13th Amendment abolishing slavery was ratified in 1865 . The 14th Amendment was proposed in 1866 and ratified in 1868 , guaranteeing United States citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and granting them federal civil rights . The 15th Amendment , proposed in late February 1869 and passed in early February 1870 , decreed that the right to vote could not be denied because of `` race , color , or previous condition of servitude '' . The amendment did not declare the vote an unconditional right ; it prohibited these types of discrimination . States would still determine voter registration and electoral laws . The amendments were directed at ending slavery and providing full citizenship to freedmen . Northern Congressmen believed that providing black men with the right to vote would be the most rapid means of political education and training . Many blacks took an active part in voting and political life , and rapidly continued to build churches and community organizations . Following Reconstruction , white Democrats and insurgent groups used force to regain power in the state legislatures , and pass laws that effectively disfranchised most blacks and many poor whites in the South . From 1890 to 1910 , southern states passed new constitutions that completed disfranchisement of blacks . U.S. Supreme Court rulings on these provisions upheld many of these new southern constitutions and laws , and most blacks were prevented from voting in the South until the 1960s . Full federal enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments did not occur until after passage of legislation in the mid-1960s as a result of the Civil Rights Movement .

Ferguson ( 1896 ) Williams v. Mississippi ( 1898 ) Giles v. Harris ( 1903 ) Statutes ( edit ) The Reconstruction Acts as originally passed , were initially called `` An act to provide for the more efficient Government of the Rebel States '' the legislation was enacted by the 39th Congress , on March 2 , 1867 . It was vetoed by President Johnson , and the veto overridden by two - thirds majority , in both the House and the Senate , the same day . Congress also clarified the scope of the federal writ of habeas corpus to allow federal courts to vacate unlawful state court convictions or sentences in 1867 ( 28 U.S.C. § 2254 ) . Military Reconstruction ( edit ) Map of the five Reconstruction military districts With the Radicals in control , Congress passed the Reconstruction Acts on July 19 , 1867 . The first Reconstruction Act , authored by Oregon Sen. George H. Williams , a Radical Republican , placed ten Confederate states under military control , grouping them into five military districts : First Military District : Virginia , under General John Schofield Second Military District : North Carolina and South Carolina , under General Daniel Sickles Third Military District : Georgia , Alabama and Florida , under Generals John Pope and George Meade Fourth Military District : Arkansas and Mississippi , under General Edward Ord Fifth Military District : Texas and Louisiana , under Generals Philip Sheridan and Winfield Scott Hancock 20,000 U.S. troops were deployed to enforce the Act . The four border states that had not joined the Confederacy were not subject to military Reconstruction . West Virginia , which had seceded from Virginia in 1863 , and Tennessee , which had already been re-admitted in 1866 , were not included in the military districts . The ten Southern state governments were re-constituted under the direct control of the United States Army . One major purpose was to recognize and protect the right of African Americans to vote . There was little or no combat , but rather a state of martial law in which the military closely supervised local government , supervised elections , and tried to protect office holders and freedmen from violence . Blacks were enrolled as voters ; former Confederate leaders were excluded for a limited period . No one state was entirely representative . Randolph Campbell describes what happened in Texas : The first critical step ... was the registration of voters according to guidelines established by Congress and interpreted by Generals Sheridan and Charles Griffin . The Reconstruction Acts called for registering all adult males , white and black , except those who had ever sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and then engaged in rebellion ... Sheridan interpreted these restrictions stringently , barring from registration not only all pre-1861 officials of state and local governments who had supported the Confederacy but also all city officeholders and even minor functionaries such as sextons of cemeteries . In May Griffin ... appointed a three - man board of registrars for each county , making his choices on the advice of known scalawags and local Freedmen 's Bureau agents . In every county where practicable a freedman served as one of the three registrars ... Final registration amounted to approximately 59,633 whites and 49,479 blacks . It is impossible to say how many whites were rejected or refused to register ( estimates vary from 7,500 to 12,000 ) , but blacks , who constituted only about 30 percent of the state 's population , were significantly overrepresented at 45 percent of all voters . State constitutional conventions : 1867 -- 69 ( edit ) The eleven Southern states held constitutional conventions giving black men the right to vote. , where the factions divided into the Radical Conservative , and in - between delegates . The Radicals were a coalition : 40 % were Southern white Republicans ( `` scalawags '' ) ; 25 % were white Carpetbaggers , and 34 % were black . Scalawags wanted to disfranchise all of the traditional white leadership class , but moderate Republican leaders in the North warned against that , and black delegates typically called for universal voting rights . The carpetbaggers inserted provisions designed to promote economic growth , especially financial aid to rebuild the ruined railroad system . The conventions set up systems of free public schools funded by tax money , but did not require them to be racially integrated . Until 1872 , most former Confederate or prewar Southern office holders were disqualified from voting or holding office ; all but 500 top Confederate leaders were pardoned by the Amnesty Act of 1872 . `` Proscription '' was the policy of disqualifying as many ex-Confederates as possible . It appealed to the Scalawag element . For example , in 1865 Tennessee had disfranchised 80,000 ex-Confederates . However , prescription was soundly rejected by the black element , which insisted on universal suffrage . The issue would come up repeatedly in several states , especially in Texas and Virginia . In Virginia , an effort was made to disqualify for public office every man who had served in the Confederate Army even as a private , and any civilian farmer who sold food to the Confederate army . Disfranchising Southern whites was also opposed by moderate Republicans in the North , who felt that ending proscription would bring the South closer to a republican form of government based on the consent of the governed , as called for by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence . Strong measures that were called for in order to forestall a return to the defunct Confederacy increasingly seemed out of place , and the role of the United States Army and controlling politics in the state was troublesome . Increasingly , historian Mark Summers states , `` the disfranchisers had to fall back on the contention that denial of the vote was meant as punishment , and a lifelong punishment at that ... Month by month , the unrepublican character of the regime looked more glaring . '' Politics ( edit ) Grant : the Radical President ( edit ) Main article : Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant Ulysses S. Grant , 18th President of the United States 1869 -- 1877 ( Photograph taken by Mathew Brady ) During the Civil War , many in the North believed that fighting for the Union was a noble cause -- for the preservation of the Union and the end of slavery . After the war ended , with the North victorious , the fear among Radicals was that President Johnson too quickly assumed that slavery and Confederate nationalism were dead and that the southern states could return . The Radicals sought out a candidate for President who represented their viewpoint . In 1868 , the Republicans unanimously chose Ulysses S. Grant to be the Republican Presidential candidate . Grant won favor with the Radicals after he allowed Edwin Stanton , a Radical , to be reinstated as Secretary of War . As early as 1862 , during the Civil War , Grant had appointed the Ohio military chaplain John Eaton to protect and gradually incorporate refugee slaves in west Tennessee and northern Mississippi into the Union War effort , and pay them for their labor . It was the beginning of his vision for the Freedmen 's Bureau . Grant opposed President Johnson by supporting the Reconstruction Acts passed by the Radicals .

Tuscaloosa , Alabama , Independent Monitor , September 1 , 1868 . A full - scale scholarly history analyzes the cartoonː Guy W. Hubbs , Searching for Freedom after the Civil War : Klansman , Carpetbagger , Scalawag , and Freedman ̈ ( 2015 ) excerpt . Immediately upon Inauguration in 1869 , Grant bolstered Reconstruction by prodding Congress to readmit Virginia , Mississippi , and Texas into the Union , while ensuring their constitutions protected every citizen 's voting rights . Grant met with prominent black leaders for consultation , and signed a bill into law that guaranteed equal rights to both blacks and whites in Washington D.C. In Grant 's two terms he strengthened Washington 's legal capabilities to directly intervene to protect citizenship rights even if the states ignored the problem . He worked with Congress to create the Department of Justice and Office of Solicitor General , led by Attorney General Amos Akerman and the first Solicitor General Benjamin Bristow . Congress passed three powerful Enforcement Acts in 1870 -- 71 . These were criminal codes which protected the Freedmen 's right to vote , to hold office , to serve on juries , and receive equal protection of laws . Most important , they authorized the federal government to intervene when states did not act . Grant 's new Justice Department prosecuted thousands of Klansmen under the tough new laws . Grant sent federal troops to nine South Carolina counties to suppress Klan violence in 1871 . Grant supported passage of the Fifteenth Amendment stating that no state could deny a man the right to vote on the basis of race . Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875 giving people access to public facilities regardless of race . To counter vote fraud in the Democratic stronghold of New York City , Grant sent in tens of thousands of armed , uniformed federal marshals and other election officials to regulate the 1870 and subsequent elections . Democrats across the North then mobilized to defend their base and attacked Grant 's entire set of policies . On October 21 , 1876 President Grant deployed troops to protect black and white Republican voters in Petersburg , Virginia . Grant 's support from Congress and the nation declined due to scandals within his administration and the political resurgence of the Democrats in the North and South . By 1870 , most Republicans felt the war goals had been achieved , and they turned their attention to other issues such as economic policies . Congressional investigation ( 1871 -- 1872 ) ( edit ) On April 20 , 1871 , the U.S. Congress launched a 21 - member investigation committee on the status of the Southern Reconstruction states : North Carolina , South Carolina , Georgia , Mississippi , Alabama , and Florida . Congressional members on the committee included Rep. Benjamin Butler , Sen. Zachariah Chandler , and Sen. Francis P. Blair . Subcommittee members traveled into the South to interview the people living in their respective states . Those interviewed included top - ranking officials , such as Wade Hampton , former South Carolina Gov. James L. Orr , and Nathan B. Forrest , a former Confederate general and ( alleged ) prominent Ku Klux Klan leader ( Forrest denied in his Congressional testimony being a member ) . Other southerners interviewed included farmers , doctors , merchants , teachers , and clergymen . The committee heard numerous reports of white violence against blacks , while many whites denied Klan membership or knowledge of violent activities . The majority report by Republicans concluded that the government would not tolerate any Southern `` conspiracy '' to resist violently the Congressional Reconstruction . The committee completed its 13 - volume report in February 1872 . While Grant had been able to suppress the KKK through the Enforcement Acts , other paramilitary insurgents organized , including the White League in 1874 , active in Louisiana ; and the Red Shirts , with chapters active in Mississippi and the Carolinas . They used intimidation and outright attacks to run Republicans out of office and repress voting by blacks , leading to white Democrats regaining power by the elections of the mid-to - late 1870s . African - American officeholders ( edit ) Republicans took control of all Southern state governorships and state legislatures , except for Virginia . The Republican coalition elected numerous African Americans to local , state , and national offices ; though they did not dominate any electoral offices , black men as representatives voting in state and federal legislatures marked a drastic social change . At the beginning of 1867 , no African American in the South held political office , but within three or four years `` about 15 percent of the officeholders in the South were black -- a larger proportion than in 1990 . '' In 1860 blacks were the majority of the population in Mississippi and South Carolina , 47 % in Louisiana , 45 % in Alabama , and 44 % in Georgia and Florida , so their political influence was still far less than their percentage of the population . About 137 black officeholders had lived outside the South before the Civil War . Some who had escaped from slavery to the North and had become educated returned to help the South advance in the postwar era . Others were free blacks before the war , who had achieved education and positions of leadership elsewhere . Other African - American men who served were already leaders in their communities , including a number of preachers . As happened in white communities , not all leadership depended upon wealth and literacy .

African Americans voted for both white and black candidates . The Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guaranteed only that voting could not be restricted on the basis of race , color or previous condition of servitude . From 1868 on , campaigns and elections were surrounded by violence as white insurgents and paramilitary tried to suppress the black vote , and fraud was rampant . Many Congressional elections in the South were contested . Even states with majority African - American population often elected only one or two African - American representatives to Congress . Exceptions included South Carolina ; at the end of Reconstruction , four of its five Congressmen were African American .

In a process of self - segregation , practically all blacks left white churches so that few racially integrated congregations remained ( apart from some Catholic churches in Louisiana ) . Four main groups competed with each other across the South to form new Methodist churches composed of freedmen . They were the African Methodist Episcopal Church ; the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church ; the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church ( which was sponsored by the white Methodist Episcopal Church , South ) and the well - funded Methodist Episcopal Church ( Northern white Methodists ) . By 1871 the Northern Methodists had 88,000 black members in the South , and had opened numerous schools for them . Blacks in the South were a core element of the Republican Party and their ministers had powerful political roles that were distinctive since they did not depend on white support , in contrast to teachers , politicians , businessmen , and tenant farmers . Acting on the principle as stated by Charles H. Pearce , an AME minister in Florida : `` A man in this State can not do his whole duty as a minister except he looks out for the political interests of his people , '' over 100 black ministers were elected to state legislatures during Reconstruction , as well as several to Congress and one , Hiram Revels , to the U.S. Senate . In a highly controversial move , the Northern Methodists used the Army to seize control of Methodist churches in large cities , over the vehement protests of the Southern Methodists . Historian Ralph Morrow reports : A War Department order of November , 1863 , applicable to the Southwestern states of the Confederacy , authorized the Northern Methodists to occupy `` all houses of worship belonging to the Methodist Episcopal Church South in which a loyal minister , appointed by a loyal bishop of said church , does not officiate . '' Across the North most evangelical denominations , especially the Methodists , Congregationalists and Presbyterians , as well as the Quakers , were strong supporters of Radical policies . The focus on social problems paved the way for the Social Gospel movement . Matthew Simpson , a Methodist Bishop , played a leading role in mobilizing the Northern Methodists for the cause . His biographer calls him the `` High Priest of the Radical Republicans . '' The Methodist Ministers Association of Boston , meeting two weeks after Lincoln 's assassination , called for a hard line against the Confederate leadership : Resolved , That no terms should be made with traitors , no compromise with rebels ... That we hold the National authority bound by the most solemn obligation to God and man to bring all the civil and military leaders of the rebellion to trial by due course of law , and when they are clearly convicted , to execute them . The denominations all sent missionaries , teachers and activists to the South to help the Freedmen . Only the Methodists made many converts , however . Activists sponsored by Northern Methodist Church played a major role in the Freedmen 's Bureau , notably in such key educational roles as the Bureau 's state superintendent or assistant superintendent of education for Virginia , Florida , Alabama and South Carolina . Many Americans interpreted great events in religious terms . Historian Wilson Fallin contrasts the interpretation of Civil War and Reconstruction in white versus black Baptist sermons in Alabama . White Baptists expressed the view that : 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 Baptists interpreted the Civil War , emancipation and Reconstruction 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 . Public schools ( edit ) Historian James D. Anderson argues that the freed slaves were the first Southerners `` to campaign for universal , state - supported public education . '' Blacks in the Republican coalition played a critical role in establishing the principle in state constitutions for the first time during congressional Reconstruction . Some slaves had learned to read from white playmates or colleagues before formal education was allowed by law ; African Americans started `` native schools '' before the end of the war ; Sabbath schools were another widespread means that freedmen developed to teach literacy . When they gained suffrage , black politicians took this commitment to public education to state constitutional conventions . The Republicans created a system of public schools , which were segregated by race everywhere except New Orleans . Generally , elementary and a few secondary schools were built in most cities , and occasionally in the countryside , but the South had few cities . The rural areas faced many difficulties opening and maintaining public schools . In the country , the public school was often a one - room affair that attracted about half the younger children . The teachers were poorly paid , and their pay was often in arrears . Conservatives contended the rural schools were too expensive and unnecessary for a region where the vast majority of people were cotton or tobacco farmers . They had no vision of a better future for their residents . One historian found that the schools were less effective than they might have been because `` poverty , the inability of the states to collect taxes , and inefficiency and corruption in many places prevented successful operation of the schools . '' After Reconstruction ended and the whites disfranchised the blacks and imposed Jim Crow , they consistently underfunded black institutions , including the schools . After the war , northern missionaries founded numerous private academies and colleges across the South for freedmen . In addition , every state founded state colleges for freedmen , such as Alcorn State University in Mississippi . The normal schools and state colleges produced generations of teachers who were integral to the education of African - American children under the segregated system . By the end of the century , the majority of African Americans were literate . In the late 19th century , the federal government established land grant legislation to provide funding for higher education across the United States . Learning that blacks were excluded from land grant colleges in the South , in 1890 , the federal government insisted that southern states establish black state institutions as land grant colleges to provide for black higher education , in order to continue to receive funds for their already established white schools . Some states classified their black state colleges as land grant institutions . Former Congressman John Roy Lynch wrote , `` there are very many liberal , fair - minded and influential Democrats in the State ( Mississippi ) who are strongly in favor of having the State provide for the liberal education of both races . '' Railroad subsidies and payoffs ( edit ) Atlanta 's rail yard and roundhouse in ruins shortly after the end of the Civil War Every Southern state subsidized railroads , which modernizers felt could haul the South out of isolation and poverty . Millions of dollars in bonds and subsidies were fraudulently pocketed . One ring in North Carolina spent $200,000 in bribing the legislature and obtained millions in state money for its railroads . Instead of building new track , however , it used the funds to speculate in bonds , reward friends with extravagant fees , and enjoy lavish trips to Europe . Taxes were quadrupled across the South to pay off the railroad bonds and the school costs . There were complaints among taxpayers , because taxes had historically been low , since there was so little commitment to public works or public education . Taxes historically had been much lower than in the North , reflecting a lack of government investment by the communities . Nevertheless , thousands of miles of lines were built as the Southern system expanded from 11,000 miles ( 17,700 km ) in 1870 to 29,000 miles ( 46,700 km ) in 1890 . The lines were owned and directed overwhelmingly by Northerners . Railroads helped create a mechanically skilled group of craftsmen and broke the isolation of much of the region . Passengers were few , however , and apart from hauling the cotton crop when it was harvested , there was little freight traffic . As Franklin explains , `` numerous railroads fed at the public trough by bribing legislators ... and through the use and misuse of state funds . '' The effect , according to one businessman , `` was to drive capital from the State , paralyze industry , and demoralize labor . '' Taxation during Reconstruction ( edit ) Reconstruction changed the means of taxation in the South . In the U.S. from the earliest days until today , a major source of state revenue was the property tax . In the South , wealthy landowners were allowed to self - assess the value of their own land . These fraudulent assessments were almost valueless , and pre-war property tax collections were lacking due to property value misrepresentation . State revenues came from fees and from sales taxes on slave auctions . Some states assessed property owners by a combination of land value and a capitation tax , a tax on each worker employed . This tax was often assessed in a way to discourage a free labor market , where a slave was assessed at 75 cents , while a free white was assessed at a dollar or more , and a free African American at $3 or more . Some revenue also came from poll taxes . These taxes were more than poor people could pay , with the designed and inevitable consequence that they did not vote . During Reconstruction , the state legislature mobilized to provide for public need more than had previous governments : establishing public schools and investing in infrastructure , as well as charitable institutions such as hospitals and asylums . The needed to increase taxes which were abnormally low . The planters had provided privately for their own needs . There was some fraudulent spending in the postwar years ; a collapse in state credit because of huge deficits , forced the states to increase property tax rates . In places , the rate went up to ten times higher -- despite the poverty of the region . The planters had not invested in infrastructure and much had been destroyed during the war . In part , the new tax system was designed to force owners of large plantations with huge tracts of uncultivated land either to sell or to have it confiscated for failure to pay taxes . The taxes would serve as a market - based system for redistributing the land to the landless freedmen and white poor . Mississippi , for instance , was mostly frontier , with 90 % of the bottomlands in the interior undeveloped . The following table shows property tax rates for South Carolina and Mississippi . Note that many local town and county assessments effectively doubled the tax rates reported in the table . These taxes were still levied upon the landowners ' own sworn testimony as to the value of their land , which remained the dubious and exploitable system used by wealthy landholders in the South well into the 20th century .

Called upon to pay taxes on their property , essentially for the first time , angry plantation owners revolted . The conservatives shifted their focus away from race to taxes . Former Congressman John R. Lynch , a black Republican leader from Mississippi , later wrote , `` The argument made by the taxpayers , however , was plausible and it may be conceded that , upon the whole , they were about right ; for no doubt it would have been much easier upon the taxpayers to have increased at that time the interest - bearing debt of the State than to have increased the tax rate . The latter course , however , had been adopted and could not then be changed unless of course they wanted to change them . '' Ending Reconstruction ( edit ) Southern Democrats ( edit ) Winslow Homer 's 1876 painting A Visit from the Old Mistress While the `` Scalawag '' element of Republican whites supported measures for black civil rights , the conservative whites typically opposed these measures . Some supported armed attacks to suppress black power . They self - consciously defended their own actions within the framework of an Anglo - American discourse of resistance against tyrannical government , and they broadly succeeded in convincing many fellow white citizens says Steedman . The opponents of Reconstruction formed state political parties , affiliated with the national Democratic party and often named the `` Conservative party . '' They supported or tolerated violent paramilitary groups , such as the White League in Louisiana and the Red Shirts in Mississippi and the Carolinas , that assassinated and intimidated both black and white Republican leaders at election time . Historian George C. Rable called such groups the `` military arm of the Democratic Party . '' By the mid-1870s , the Conservatives and Democrats had aligned with the national Democratic Party , which enthusiastically supported their cause even as the national Republican Party was losing interest in Southern affairs . Historian Walter Lynwood Fleming , associated with the Dunning School , describes mounting anger of Southern whites : The Negro troops , even at their best , were everywhere considered offensive by the native whites ... The Negro soldier , impudent by reason of his new freedom , his new uniform , and his new gun , was more than Southern temper could tranquilly bear , and race conflicts were frequent . Often , these white Southerners identified as the `` Conservative Party '' or the `` Democratic and Conservative Party '' in order to distinguish themselves from the national Democratic Party and to obtain support from former Whigs . These parties sent delegates to the 1868 Democratic National Convention and abandoned their separate names by 1873 or 1874 . Most ( white ) members of both the planter / business class and common farmer class of the South opposed black power , carpetbaggers and military rule , and sought white supremacy . Democrats nominated blacks for political office and tried to steal other blacks from the Republican side . When these attempts to combine with the blacks failed , the planters joined the common farmers in simply trying to displace the Republican governments . The planters and their business allies dominated the self - styled `` conservative '' coalition that finally took control in the South . They were paternalistic toward the blacks but feared they would use power to raise taxes and slow business development . Fleming described the first results of the insurgent movement as `` good , '' and the later ones as `` both good and bad . '' According to Fleming ( 1907 ) , the KKK `` quieted the Negroes , made life and property safer , gave protection to women , stopped burnings , forced the Radical leaders to be more moderate , made the Negroes work better , drove the worst of the Radical leaders from the country and started the whites on the way to gain political supremacy . '' The evil result , Fleming said , was that lawless elements `` made use of the organization as a cloak to cover their misdeeds ... the lynching habits of today ( 1907 ) are largely due to conditions , social and legal , growing out of Reconstruction . '' Historians have noted that the peak of lynchings took place years after Reconstruction ended as whites were imposing Jim Crow laws and that they were more often used to keep black men down , with a rate associated with settlement of sharecropper accounts at the end of the season , than for any other reason . Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer ( a northern scholar ) in 1917 explained : Outrages upon the former slaves in the South there were in plenty . Their sufferings were many . But white men , too , were victims of lawless violence , and in all portions of the North and the late `` rebel '' states . Not a political campaign passed without the exchange of bullets , the breaking of skulls with sticks and stones , the firing of rival club - houses . Republican clubs marched the streets of Philadelphia , amid revolver shots and brickbats , to save the negroes from the `` rebel '' savages in Alabama ... The project to make voters out of black men was not so much for their social elevation as for the further punishment of the Southern white people -- for the capture of offices for Radical scamps and the entrenchment of the Radical party in power for a long time to come in the South and in the country at large . As Reconstruction continued , whites accompanied elections with increased violence in an attempt to run Republicans out of office and suppress black voting . The victims of this violence were overwhelmingly African American , as in the Colfax Massacre of 1873 . After federal suppression of the Klan in the early 1870s , white insurgent groups tried to avoid open conflict with federal forces . In 1874 in the Battle of Liberty Place , the White League entered New Orleans with 5,000 members and defeated the police and militia , to occupy federal offices for three days in an attempt to overturn the disputed government of William Kellogg , but retreated before federal troops reached the city . None were prosecuted . Their election - time tactics included violent intimidation of African - American and Republican voters prior to elections while avoiding conflict with the U.S. Army or the state militias and then withdrawing completely on election day . Conservative reaction continued in both the north and south ; the `` white liners '' movement to elect candidates dedicated to white supremacy reached as far as Ohio in 1875 . Redemption 1873 -- 77 ( edit ) Main article : Redeemers Republicans split nationally : election of 1872 ( edit ) As early as 1868 Supreme Court Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase , a leading Radical during the war , concluded that : Congress was right in not limiting , by its reconstruction acts , the right of suffrage to whites ; but wrong in the exclusion from suffrage of certain classes of citizens and all unable to take its prescribed retrospective oath , and wrong also in the establishment of despotic military governments for the States and in authorizing military commissions for the trial of civilians in time of peace . There should have been as little military government as possible ; no military commissions ; no classes excluded from suffrage ; and no oath except one of faithful obedience and support to the Constitution and laws , and of sincere attachment to the constitutional Government of the United States . By 1872 , President Ulysses S. Grant had alienated large numbers of leading Republicans , including many Radicals , by the corruption of his administration and his use of federal soldiers to prop up Radical state regimes in the South . The opponents , called `` Liberal Republicans '' , included founders of the party who expressed dismay that the party had succumbed to corruption . They were further wearied by the continued insurgent violence of whites against blacks in the South , especially around every election cycle , which demonstrated the war was not over and changes were fragile . Leaders included editors of some of the nation 's most powerful newspapers . Charles Sumner , embittered by the corruption of the Grant administration , joined the new party , which nominated editor Horace Greeley . The badly organized Democratic party also supported Greeley . Grant made up for the defections by new gains among Union veterans and by strong support from the `` Stalwart '' faction of his party ( which depended on his patronage ) , and the Southern Republican parties . Grant won with 55.6 % of the vote to Greeley 's 43.8 % . The Liberal Republican party vanished and many former supporters -- even former abolitionists -- abandoned the cause of Reconstruction . Republican coalition splinters in South ( edit ) In the South , political -- racial tensions built up inside the Republican party as they were attacked by the Democrats . In 1868 , Georgia Democrats , with support from some Republicans , expelled all 28 black Republican members from the state house , arguing blacks were eligible to vote but not to hold office . In most states , the more conservative scalawags fought for control with the more radical carpetbaggers and their black allies . Most of the 430 Republican newspapers in the South were edited by scalawags -- only 20 percent were edited by carpetbaggers . White businessmen generally boycotted Republican papers , which survived through government patronage . Nevertheless , in the increasingly bitter battles inside the Republican Party , the scalawags usually lost ; many of the disgruntled losers switched over to the conservative or Democratic side . In Mississippi , the conservative faction led by scalawag James Lusk Alcorn was decisively defeated by the radical faction led by carpetbagger Adelbert Ames . The party lost support steadily as many scalawags left it ; few recruits were acquired . The most bitter contest took place inside the Republican Party in Arkansas , where the two sides armed their forces and confronted each other in the streets ; no actual combat took place in the Brooks -- Baxter War . The carpetbagger faction led by Elisha Baxter finally prevailed when the White House intervened , but both sides were badly weakened , and the Democrats soon came to power . Meanwhile , in state after state the freedmen were demanding a bigger share of the offices and patronage , squeezing out carpetbagger allies but never commanding the numbers equivalent to their population proportion . By the mid-1870s , `` The hard realities of Southern political life had taught the lesson that black constituents needed to be represented by black officials . '' The financial depression increased the pressure on Reconstruction governments , dissolving progress . Finally , some of the more prosperous freedmen were joining the Democrats , as they were angered at the failure of the Republicans to help them acquire land . The South was `` sparsely settled '' ; only 10 % of Louisiana was cultivated , and 90 % of Mississippi bottomland were undeveloped in areas away from the riverfronts , but freedmen often did not have the stake to get started . They hoped government would help them acquire land which they would work . Only South Carolina created any land redistribution , establishing a land commission and resettling about 14,000 freedmen families and some poor whites on land purchased by the state . Although historians such as W.E.B. Du Bois celebrated a cross-racial coalition of poor whites and blacks , such coalitions rarely formed in these years . Writing in 1915 , former Congressman Lynch , recalling his experience as a black leader in Mississippi , explained that , While the colored men did not look with favor upon a political alliance with the poor whites , it must be admitted that , with very few exceptions , that class of whites did not seek , and did not seem to desire such an alliance . Lynch reported that poor whites resented the job competition from freedmen . Furthermore , the poor whites with a few exceptions , were less efficient , less capable , and knew less about matters of state and governmental administration than many of the former slaves ... As a rule , therefore , the whites that came into the leadership of the Republican party between 1872 and 1875 were representatives of the most substantial families of the land . Democrats try a `` new Departure '' ( edit ) Main article : New Departure ( Democrats ) A Republican Form of Government and No Domestic Violence by Thomas Nast A political cartoon about the ( Wheeler ) Compromise in Louisiana published in Harper 's Weekly March 6 , 1875 By 1870 , the Democratic -- Conservative leadership across the South decided it had to end its opposition to Reconstruction and black suffrage to survive and move on to new issues . The Grant administration had proven by its crackdown on the Ku Klux Klan that it would use as much federal power as necessary to suppress open anti-black violence . Democrats in the North concurred with these Southern Democrats . They wanted to fight the Republican Party on economic grounds rather than race . The New Departure offered the chance for a clean slate without having to re-fight the Civil War every election . Furthermore , many wealthy Southern landowners thought they could control part of the newly enfranchised black electorate to their own advantage . Not all Democrats agreed ; an insurgent element continued to resist Reconstruction no matter what . Eventually , a group called `` Redeemers '' took control of the party in the Southern states . They formed coalitions with conservative Republicans , including scalawags and carpetbaggers , emphasizing the need for economic modernization . Railroad building was seen as a panacea since northern capital was needed . The new tactics were a success in Virginia where William Mahone built a winning coalition . In Tennessee , the Redeemers formed a coalition with Republican governor DeWitt Senter . Across the South , some Democrats switched from the race issue to taxes and corruption , charging that Republican governments were corrupt and inefficient . With continuing decrease in cotton prices , taxes squeezed cash - poor farmers who rarely saw $20 in currency a year but had to pay taxes in currency or lose their farm . But major planters , who had never paid taxes before , often recovered their property even after confiscation . In North Carolina , Republican Governor William Woods Holden used state troops against the Klan , but the prisoners were released by federal judges . Holden became the first governor in American history to be impeached and removed from office . Republican political disputes in Georgia split the party and enabled the Redeemers to take over . In the lower South , violence increased as new insurgent groups arose , including the Red Shirts in Mississippi and the Carolinas , and the White League in Louisiana . The disputed election in Louisiana in 1872 found both Republican and Democratic candidates holding inaugural balls while returns were reviewed . Both certified their own slates for local parish offices in many places , causing local tensions to rise . Finally , Federal support helped certify the Republican as governor . Slates for local offices were certified by each candidate . In rural Grant Parish in Red River Valley , freedmen fearing a Democratic attempt to take over the parish government reinforced defenses at the small Colfax courthouse in late March . White militias gathered from the area a few miles outside the settlement . Rumors and fears abounded on both sides . William Ward , an African - American Union veteran and militia captain , mustered his company in Colfax and went to the courthouse . On Easter Sunday , April 13 , 1873 , the whites attacked the defenders at the courthouse . There was confusion about who shot one of the white leaders after an offer by the defenders to surrender . It was a catalyst to mayhem . In the end , three whites died and 120 -- 150 blacks were killed , some 50 that evening while being held as prisoners . The disproportionate numbers of black to white fatalities and documentation of brutalized bodies are why contemporary historians call it the Colfax Massacre rather than the Colfax Riot , as it was known locally . This marked the beginning of heightened insurgency and attacks on Republican officeholders and freedmen in Louisiana and other Deep South states . In Louisiana , Judge T.S. Crawford and District Attorney P.H. Harris of the 12th Judicial District were shot off their horses and killed from ambush October 8 , 1873 , while going to court . One widow wrote to the Department of Justice that her husband was killed because he was a Union man and `` ... of the efforts made to screen those who committed a crime ... '' In the North , a live - and - let - live attitude made elections more like a sporting contest . But in the Deep South , many white citizens had not reconciled with the defeat of the war or the granting of citizenship to freedmen . As an Alabama scalawag explained , Our contest here is for life , for the right to earn our bread ... for a decent and respectful consideration as human beings and members of society . Panic of 1873 ( edit ) Main article : Panic of 1873 The Panic of 1873 ( a depression ) hit the Southern economy hard and disillusioned many Republicans who had gambled that railroads would pull the South out of its poverty . The price of cotton fell by half ; many small landowners , local merchants and cotton factors ( wholesalers ) went bankrupt . Sharecropping for black and white farmers became more common as a way to spread the risk of owning land . The old abolitionist element in the North was aging away , or had lost interest , and was not replenished . Many carpetbaggers returned to the North or joined the Redeemers . Blacks had an increased voice in the Republican Party , but across the South it was divided by internal bickering and was rapidly losing its cohesion . Many local black leaders started emphasizing individual economic progress in cooperation with white elites , rather than racial political progress in opposition to them , a conservative attitude that foreshadowed Booker T. Washington . Nationally , President Grant was blamed for the depression ; the Republican Party lost 96 seats in all parts of the country in the 1874 elections . The Bourbon Democrats took control of the House and were confident of electing Samuel J. Tilden president in 1876 . President Grant was not running for re-election and seemed to be losing interest in the South . States fell to the Redeemers , with only four in Republican hands in 1873 , Arkansas , Louisiana , Mississippi and South Carolina ; Arkansas then fell after the violent Brooks -- Baxter War in 1874 ripped apart the Republican party there . Violence ( edit ) Political violence was endemic in Louisiana . In 1874 the white militias coalesced into paramilitary organizations such as the White League , first in parishes of the Red River Valley . The new organization operated openly and had political goals : the violent overthrow of Republican rule and suppression of black voting . White League chapters soon rose in many rural parishes , receiving financing for advanced weaponry from wealthy men . In the Coushatta Massacre in 1874 , the White League assassinated six white Republican officeholders and five to twenty black witnesses outside Coushatta , Red River Parish . Four of the white men were related to the Republican representative of the parish , who was married to a local woman ; three were native to the region . White Leaguers attacking the New Orleans integrated police force and state militia , Battle of Liberty Place , 1874 Later in 1874 the White League mounted a serious attempt to unseat the Republican governor of Louisiana , in a dispute that had simmered since the 1872 election . It brought 5000 troops to New Orleans to engage and overwhelm forces of the Metropolitan Police and state militia to turn Republican Governor William P. Kellogg out of office and seat John McEnery . The White League took over and held the state house and city hall , but they retreated before the arrival of reinforcing Federal troops . Kellogg had asked for reinforcements before , and Grant finally responded , sending additional troops to try to quell violence throughout plantation areas of the Red River Valley , although 2,000 troops were already in the state . Similarly , the Red Shirts , another paramilitary group , arose in 1875 in Mississippi and the Carolinas . Like the White League and White Liner rifle clubs , to which 20,000 men belonged in North Carolina alone , these groups operated as a `` military arm of the Democratic Party '' , to restore white supremacy . Democrats and many northern Republicans agreed that Confederate nationalism and slavery were dead -- the war goals were achieved -- and further federal military interference was an undemocratic violation of historic Republican values . The victory of Rutherford Hayes in the hotly contested Ohio gubernatorial election of 1875 indicated his `` let alone '' policy toward the South would become Republican policy , as happened when he won the 1876 Republican nomination for president . An explosion of violence accompanied the campaign for the Mississippi 's 1875 election , in which Red Shirts and Democratic rifle clubs , operating in the open , threatened or shot enough Republicans to decide the election for the Democrats . Hundreds of black men were killed . Republican Governor Adelbert Ames asked Grant for federal troops to fight back ; Grant initially refused , saying public opinion was `` tired out '' of the perpetual troubles in the South . Ames fled the state as the Democrats took over Mississippi . The campaigns and elections of 1876 were marked by additional murders and attacks on Republicans in Louisiana , North and South Carolina , and Florida . In South Carolina the campaign season of 1876 was marked by murderous outbreaks and fraud against freedmen . Red Shirts paraded with arms behind Democratic candidates ; they killed blacks in the Hamburg and Ellenton SC massacres ; and one historian estimated 150 blacks were killed in the weeks before the 1876 election across South Carolina . Red Shirts prevented almost all black voting in two majority - black counties . The Red Shirts were also active in North Carolina . Election of 1876 ( edit ) Main article : United States presidential election , 1876 Reconstruction continued in South Carolina , Louisiana and Florida until 1877 . The elections of 1876 were accompanied by heightened violence across the Deep South . A combination of ballot stuffing and intimidating blacks suppressed their vote even in majority black counties . The White League was active in Louisiana . After Republican Rutherford Hayes won the disputed 1876 presidential election , the national Compromise of 1877 was reached . The white Democrats in the South agreed to accept Hayes 's victory if he withdrew the last Federal troops . By this point , the North was weary of insurgency . White Democrats controlled most of the Southern legislatures and armed militias controlled small towns and rural areas . Blacks considered Reconstruction a failure because the Federal government withdrew from enforcing their ability to exercise their rights as citizens . Hayes Ends Reconstruction ( edit ) Main articles : Electoral Commission ( United States ) and Compromise of 1877 Rutherford B. Hayes 19th President of the United States 1877 -- 1881 On January 29 , 1877 President Grant signed the Electoral Commission Act which set up a 15 - member commission to settle the disputed 1876 election of 8 Republicans and 7 Democrats . The Electoral Commission awarded Rutherford B. Hayes the electoral votes he needed ; Congress certified he had won by one electoral vote . The Democrats had little leverage -- they could delay Hayes ' election but they could not put their man ( Tilden ) in the White House . However they agreed not to block Hayes ' inauguration based on a `` back room '' deal . Key to this deal was the understanding that federal troops would no longer interfere in southern politics despite substantial election - associated violence against blacks . The Southern states indicated that they would protect the lives of African Americans although this obviously turned out to be far from reliable . Hayes 's friends also let it be known that he would promote Federal aid for internal improvements , including help for a railroad in Texas ( this never happened ) and name a Southerner to his cabinet ( this did happen ) . With the end to the political role of Northern troops , the President had no method to enforce Reconstruction , thus this `` back room '' deal signaled the end of American Reconstruction . After assuming office on March 4 , 1877 , President Hayes removed troops from the capitals of the remaining Reconstruction states , Louisiana and South Carolina , allowing the Redeemers to have full control of these states . President Grant had already removed troops from Florida , before Hayes was inaugurated , and troops from the other Reconstruction states had long since been withdrawn . Hayes appointed David M. Key from Tennessee , a Southern Democrat , to the position of Postmaster General . By 1879 , thousands of African - American `` Exodusters '' packed up and headed to new opportunities in Kansas . The Democrats gained control of the Senate , and had complete control of Congress , having taken over the House in 1875 . Hayes vetoed bills from the Democrats that outlawed the Republican Enforcement Acts ; however , with the military underfunded , Hayes could not adequately enforce these laws . Blacks remained involved in Southern politics , particularly in Virginia , which was run by the biracial Readjuster Party . Numerous blacks were elected to local office through the 1880s , and in the 1890s in some states , biracial coalitions of Populists and Republicans briefly held control of state legislatures . In the last decade of the 19th century , southern states elected five black U.S. Congressmen before disfranchising constitutions were passed throughout the former Confederacy . Legacy and historiography ( edit ) The interpretation of Reconstruction has been a topic of controversy . Nearly all historians hold that Reconstruction ended in failure but for very different reasons . The first generation of Northern historians believed that the former Confederates were traitors and Johnson was their ally who threatened to undo the Union 's constitutional achievements . By the 1880s , however , Northern historians argued that Johnson and his allies were not traitors but had blundered badly in rejecting the 14th Amendment and setting the stage for Radical Reconstruction . The black leader Booker T. Washington , who grew up in West Virginia during Reconstruction , concluded later that , `` the Reconstruction experiment in racial democracy failed because it began at the wrong end , emphasizing political means and civil rights acts rather than economic means and self - determination . '' His solution was to concentrate on building the economic infrastructure of the black community , in part by his leadership and the southern Tuskegee Institute . Dunning school : 1900 to 1920s ( edit ) The Dunning School of scholars were trained at the history department of Columbia University under Professor William A. Dunning analyzed Reconstruction as a failure after 1866 for different reasons . They claimed that Congress took freedoms and rights from qualified whites and gave them to unqualified blacks who were being duped by corrupt `` carpetbaggers and scalawags . '' As T. Harry Williams ( who was a sharp critic of the Dunning school ) notes , the Dunningites portrayed the era in stark terms : Reconstruction was a battle between two extremes : the Democrats , as the group which included the vast majority of the whites , standing for decent government and racial supremacy , versus the Republicans , the Negroes , alien carpetbaggers , and renegade scalawags , standing for dishonest government and alien ideals . These historians wrote literally in terms of white and black . Revisionists and beardians , 1930s -- 1940s ( edit ) In the 1930s , historical revisionism became popular among scholars . As disciples of Charles A. Beard , revisionists focused on economics , downplaying politics and constitutional issues . The central figure was a young scholar at the University Wisconsin , Howard K. Beale , who in his PhD dissertation , finished in 1924 , developed a complex new interpretation of Reconstruction . The Dunning School portrayed Freedmen as mere pawns in the hands of the Carpetbaggers . Beale argued that the Carpetbaggers themselves were pawns in the hands of northern industrialists , who were the real villains of Reconstruction . These industrialists had taken control of the nation during the Civil War , and set up high tariffs to protect their profits , as well as a lucrative national banking system and a railroad network fueled by government subsidies and secret payoffs . The return to power of the southern whites would seriously threaten all their gains , and so the ex-Confederates had to be kept out of power . The tool used by the industrialists was the combination of the Northern Republican Party and sufficient Southern support using Carpetbaggers and black voters . The rhetoric of civil rights for blacks , and the dream of equality , was rhetoric designed to fool idealistic voters . Beale called it `` claptrap , '' arguing , `` Constitutional discussions of the rights of the negro , the status of Southern states , the legal position of ex-rebels , and the powers of Congress and the president determined nothing . They were pure sham . '' President Andrew Johnson had tried , and failed , to stop the juggernaut of the industrialists . The Dunning school had praised Johnson for upholding the rights of the white men in the South and endorsing white supremacy . Beale was not a racist , and indeed was one of the most vigorous historians working for black civil rights in the 1930s and 1940s . In his view , Johnson was not a hero for his racism , but rather for his forlorn battle against the industrialists . Charles A. Beard and Mary Beard had already published The Rise of American Civilization ( 1927 ) three years before Beale , and had given very wide publicity to a similar theme . The Beard - Beale interpretation of Reconstruction became known as `` revisionism , '' and replaced the Dunning school for most historians , until the 1950s . The Beardian interpretation of the causes of the Civil War downplayed slavery , abolitionism , and issues of morality . It 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 , as the Beards explained in The Rise of American Civilization ( 1927 ) , 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 were especially interested in the Reconstruction era , as the industrialists of the Northeast and the farmers of the West cashed in on their great victory over the southern aristocracy . Historian Richard Hofstadter paraphrases the Beards as arguing that in victory : the Northern capitalists were able to impose their economic program , quickly passing a series of measures on tariffs , banking , homesteads , and immigration that guaranteed the success of their plans for economic development . Solicitude for the Freedman had little to do with northern policies . The Fourteenth Amendment , which gave the Negro his citizenship , Beard found significant primarily as a result of a conspiracy of a few legislative draftsman friendly to corporations to use the supposed elevation of the blacks as a cover for a fundamental law giving strong the protection to business corporations against regulation by state government . Wisconsin historian William Hesseltine added the point that the Northeastern businessmen wanted to control the Southern economy directly , which they did through ownership of the railroads . The Beard - Beale interpretation of the monolithic Northern industrialists fell apart in the 1950s when it was closely examined by numerous historians , including Robert P. Sharkey , Irwin Unger , and Stanley Coben . The younger scholars conclusively demonstrated that there was no unified economic policy on the part of the dominant Republican Party . Some wanted high tariffs and some low . Some wanted Greenbacks and others wanted gold . There was no conspiracy to use Reconstruction to impose any such unified economic policy on the nation . Northern businessmen were widely divergent on monetary or tariff policy , and seldom paid attention to Reconstruction issues . Furthermore , the rhetoric on behalf of the rights of the Freedman was not claptrap but deeply held and very serious political philosophy . Black historians ( edit ) The black scholar W.E.B. Du Bois , in his Black Reconstruction in America , 1860 -- 1880 , published in 1935 , compared results across the states to show achievements by the Reconstruction legislatures and to refute claims about wholesale African - American control of governments . He showed black contributions , as in the establishment of universal public education , charitable and social institutions and universal suffrage as important results , and he noted their collaboration with whites . He also pointed out that whites benefited most by the financial deals made , and he put excesses in the perspective of the war 's aftermath . He noted that despite complaints , several states kept their Reconstruction constitutions for nearly a quarter of a century . Despite receiving favorable reviews , his work was largely ignored by white historians of his time . Neo-abolitionists ( edit ) In the 1960s neoabolitionist historians emerged , led by John Hope Franklin , Kenneth Stampp , Leon Litwack , and Eric Foner . Influenced by the Civil Rights Movement , they rejected the Dunning school and found a great deal to praise in Radical Reconstruction . Foner , the primary advocate of this view , argued that it was never truly completed , and that a `` Second Reconstruction '' was needed in the late 20th century to complete the goal of full equality for African Americans . The neo-abolitionists followed the revisionists in minimizing the corruption and waste created by Republican state governments , saying it was no worse than Boss Tweed 's ring in New York City . Instead , they emphasized that suppression of the rights of African Americans was a worse scandal and a grave corruption of America 's republican ideals . They argued that the tragedy of Reconstruction was not that it failed because blacks were incapable of governing , especially as they did not dominate any state government , but that it failed because whites raised an insurgent movement to restore white supremacy . White elite - dominated state legislatures passed disfranchising constitutions from 1890 to 1908 that effectively barred most blacks and many poor whites from voting . This disfranchisement affected millions of people for decades into the 20th century , and closed African Americans and poor whites out of the political process in the South . Re-establishment of white supremacy meant that within a decade African Americans were excluded from virtually all local , state and federal governance in all states of the South . Lack of representation meant that they were treated as second - class citizens , with schools and services consistently underfunded in segregated societies , no representation on juries or in law enforcement , and bias in other legislation . It was not until the Civil Rights Movement and the passage in 1964 and 1965 of Federal legislation that outlawed segregation and restored the suffrage under what is sometimes referred to as the `` Second Reconstruction . '' In 1990 Eric Foner concluded that from the black point of view , `` Reconstruction must be judged a failure . '' Foner stated Reconstruction was `` a noble if flawed experiment , the first attempt to introduce a genuine inter-racial democracy in the United States '' . The many factors contributing to the failure included : lack of a permanent federal agency specifically designed for the enforcement of civil rights ; the Morrison R. Waite Supreme Court decisions that dismantled previous congressional civil rights legislation ; and the economic reestablishment of conservative white planters in the South by 1877 . Historian William McFeely explained that although the constitutional amendments and civil rights legislation on their own merit were remarkable achievements , no permanent government agency whose specific purpose was civil rights enforcement had been created . More recent work by Nina Silber , David W. Blight , Cecelia O'Leary , Laura Edwards , LeeAnn Whites and Edward J. Blum , has encouraged greater attention to race , religion and issues of gender while at the same time pushing the end of Reconstruction to the end of the 19th century , while monographs by Charles Reagan Wilson , Gaines Foster , W. Scott Poole and Bruce Baker have offered new views of the Southern `` Lost Cause '' . Dating the end of the Reconstruction era ( edit ) While 1877 is the usual date given for the end of Reconstruction , some historians extend the era to the 1890s . Economic role of race ( edit ) Economists and economic historians have different interpretations of the economic impact of race on the postwar Southern economy . In 1995 , Robert Whaples took a random survey of 178 members of the Economic History Association , who studied American history in all time periods . He asked whether they wholly or partly accepted , or rejected , 40 propositions in the scholarly literature about American economic history . The greatest difference between economics PhDs and history PhDs came with questions on competition and race . For example , the proposition originally put forward by Robert Higgs , `` in the postbellum South economic competition among whites played an important part in protecting blacks from racial coercion '' was accepted in whole or part by 66 % of the economists , but by only 22 % of the historians . Whaples says this highlights , `` A recurring difference dividing historians and economists . The economists have more faith in the power of the competitive market . For example , they see the competitive market as protecting disfranchised blacks and are less likely to accept the idea that there was exploitation by merchant monopolists . '' The `` failure '' issue ( edit ) Reconstruction is widely considered a failure , though the reason for this is a matter of controversy . The Dunning School considered failure inevitable because it felt that taking the right to vote or hold office away from Southern whites was a violation of republicanism . A second school sees the reason for failure as Northern Republicans ' lack of effectiveness in guaranteeing political rights to blacks . A third school blames the failure on not giving land to the freedmen so they could have their own economic base of power . A fourth school sees the major reason for the failure of reconstruction as the states ' inability to suppress the violence of Southern whites when they sought reversal for blacks ' gains . Etcheson ( 2009 ) points to the `` violence that crushed black aspirations and the abandonment by Northern whites of Southern Republicans . '' Etcheson wrote that it is hard to see Reconstruction `` as concluding in anything but failure . '' Etcheson adds , `` W.E.B. DuBois captured that failure well when he wrote in Black Reconstruction in America ( 1935 ) : ' The slave went free ; stood a brief moment in the sun ; then moved back again toward slavery . ' '' Other historians emphasize the failure to fully incorporate Southern Unionists into the Republican coalition . Historian Donald R. Shaffer maintained that the gains during Reconstruction for African Americans were not entirely extinguished . The legalization of African - American marriages and families and the independence of black churches from white denominations were a source of strength during the Jim Crow era . Reconstruction was never forgotten within the black community and it remained a source of inspiration . The system of sharecropping granted blacks a considerable amount of freedom as compared to slavery . However , in 2014 historian Mark Summers argues that the `` failure '' question should be looked at from the viewpoint of the war goals ; in that case , he argues : If we see Reconstruction 's purpose as making sure that the main goals of the war would be fulfilled , of a Union held together forever , of a North and South able to work together , of slavery extirpated , and sectional rivalries confined , of the permanent banishment of the fear of vaunting appeals to state sovereignty , backed by armed force , then Reconstruction looks like what in that respect it was , a lasting and unappreciated success . In popular Culture ( edit ) The journalist Joel Chandler Harris , writing as `` Joe Harris '' for the Atlanta Constitution ( mostly after Reconstruction ) , tried to advance racial and sectional reconciliation in the late 19th century . He supported Henry Grady 's vision of a New South during Grady 's time as editor from 1880 to 1889 . Harris wrote many editorials encouraging southern acceptance of the changed conditions and some Northern influence , although he also asserted his belief that it should proceed under white supremacy . In popular literature , two early 20th - century novels by Thomas Dixon -- The Clansman ( 1905 ) and The Leopard 's Spots : A Romance of the White Man 's Burden -- 1865 -- 1900 ( 1902 ) -- romanticized white resistance to Northern / black coercion , hailing vigilante action by the Ku Klux Klan . D.W. Griffith adapted Dixon 's The Clansman for the screen in his anti-Republican movie The Birth of a Nation ( 1915 ) ; it stimulated the formation of the 20th - century version of the KKK . Many other authors romanticized the benevolence of slavery and the élite world of the antebellum plantations in memoirs and histories published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries , and the United Daughters of the Confederacy promoted influential works by women in these genres .

[ "Three visions of Civil War memory appeared during Reconstruction: the reconciliationist vision, which was rooted in coping with the death and devastation the war had brought; the white supremacist vision, which included terror and violence; and the emancipationist vision, which sought full freedom, citizenship and Constitutional equality for African Americans.[2]" ]

Cavalier
Cavalier - wikipedia Cavalier Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Cavalier ( disambiguation ) . Prince Rupert of the Rhine , often considered to be an archetypal Cavalier . The term Cavalier ( / ˌkævəˈlɪər / ) was first used by Roundheads as a term of abuse for the wealthier Royalist supporters of King Charles I and his son Charles II of England during the English Civil War , the Interregnum , and the Restoration ( 1642 -- c. 1679 ) . It was later adopted by the Royalists themselves . Although it referred originally to political and social attitudes and behaviour , of which clothing was a very small part , it has subsequently become strongly identified with the fashionable clothing of the court at the time . Prince Rupert , commander of much of Charles I 's cavalry , is often considered to be an archetypal Cavalier . Contents ( hide ) 1 Etymology 1.1 English Civil War 2 Social perceptions 3 Cavaliers in the arts 4 Notes 5 References 6 Further reading Etymology ( edit ) Cavalier derives from the same Latin root as the French word chevalier ( as well as the Spanish word caballero ) , the Vulgar Latin word caballarius , meaning `` horseman '' . Shakespeare used the word cavaleros to describe an overbearing swashbuckler or swaggering gallant in Henry IV , Part 2 , in which Shallow says `` I 'll drink to Master Bardolph , and to all the cavaleros about London '' . English Civil War ( edit ) An engraving depicting Charles I and his adherents . `` Cavalier '' is chiefly associated with the Royalist supporters of King Charles I in his struggle with Parliament in the English Civil War . It first appears as a term of reproach and contempt , applied to the followers of King Charles I in June 1642 : 1642 ( June 10 ) Propositions of Parlt. in Clarendon v. ( 1702 ) I. 504 Several sorts of malignant Men , who were about the King ; some whereof , under the name of Cavaliers , without having respect to the Laws of the Land , or any fear either of God or Man , were ready to commit all manner of Outrage and Violence. 1642 Petition Lords & Com. 17 June in Rushw . Coll . III . ( 1721 ) I. 631 That your Majesty ... would please to dismiss your extraordinary Guards , and the Cavaliers and others of that Quality , who seem to have little Interest or Affection to the publick Good , their Language and Behaviour speaking nothing but Division and War . Charles , in the Answer to the Petition 13 June 1642 speaks of Cavaliers as a `` word by what mistake soever it seemes much in disfavour '' . It was soon reappropriated ( as a title of honour ) by the king 's party , who in return applied Roundhead to their opponents , and at the Restoration the court party preserved the name , which survived until the rise of the term Tory . Social perceptions ( edit ) Cavalier was not understood at the time as primarily a term describing a style of dress , but a whole political and social attitude . However , in modern times the word has become more particularly associated with the court fashions of the period , which included long flowing hair in ringlets , brightly coloured clothing with elaborate trimmings and lace collars and cuffs , and plumed hats . This contrasted with the dress of at least the most extreme Roundhead supporters of Parliament , with their preference for shorter hair and plainer dress , although neither side conformed to the stereotypical images entirely . Lord John Stewart , c. 1638 ( left ) , pictured with his younger brother Lord Bernard Stewart ( 1623 -- 1645 ) , by Sir Anthony van Dyck . Most Parliamentarian generals wore their hair at much the same length as their Royalist counterparts , though Cromwell was something of an exception . The best patrons in the nobility of Charles I 's court painter Sir Anthony van Dyck , the archetypal recorder of the Cavalier image , all took the Parliamentary side in the Civil War . Probably the most famous image identified as of a `` cavalier '' , Frans Hals ' Laughing Cavalier , shows a gentleman from the strongly Calvinist Dutch town of Haarlem , and is dated 1624 . These derogatory terms ( for at the time they were so intended ) also showed what the typical Parliamentarian thought of the Royalist side -- capricious men who cared more for vanity than the nation at large . The chaplain to King Charles I , Edward Simmons described a Cavalier as `` a Child of Honour , a Gentleman well borne and bred , that loves his king for conscience sake , of a clearer countenance , and bolder look than other men , because of a more loyal Heart '' . There were many men in the Royalist armies who fit this description since most of the Royalist field officers were typically in their early thirties , married with rural estates which had to be managed . Although they did not share the same outlook on how to worship God as the English Independents of the New Model Army , God was often central to their lives . This type of Cavalier was personified by Jacob Astley , 1st Baron Astley of Reading , whose prayer at the start of the Battle of Edgehill has become famous `` O Lord , Thou knowest how busy I must be this day . If I forget Thee , do not forget me '' . At the end of the First Civil War Astley gave his word that he would not take up arms again against Parliament and having given his word he felt duty bound to refuse to help the Royalist cause in the Second Civil War . However , the word was coined by the Roundheads as a pejorative propaganda image of a licentious , hard drinking and frivolous man , who rarely , if ever , thought of God . It is this image which has survived and many Royalists , for example Henry Wilmot , 1st Earl of Rochester , fitted this description to a tee . Of another Cavalier , George Goring , Lord Goring , a general in the Royalist army , the principal advisor to Charles II , Edward Hyde , 1st Earl of Clarendon , said : ( He ) would , without hesitation , have broken any trust , or done any act of treachery to have satisfied an ordinary passion or appetite ; and in truth wanted nothing but industry ( for he had wit , and courage , and understanding and ambition , uncontrolled by any fear of God or man ) to have been as eminent and successful in the highest attempt of wickedness as any man in the age he lived in or before . Of all his qualifications dissimulation was his masterpiece ; in which he so much excelled , that men were not ordinarily ashamed , or out of countenance , with being deceived but twice by him `` . This sense has developed into the modern English use of `` cavalier '' to describe a recklessly nonchalant attitude , although still with a suggestion of stylishness . Cavalier remained in use as a description for members of the party that supported the monarchy up until the Exclusion Crisis of 1678 -- 1681 when the term was superseded by `` Tory '' which was another term initially with pejorative connotations . Likewise during Exclusion Bill crisis the term Roundhead was replaced with `` Whig '' , a term introduced by the opponents of the Whigs and also was initially a pejorative term . Cavaliers in the arts ( edit ) Charles I in Three Positions , the triple portrait of Charles I by Anthony van Dyck See also : 1600 -- 50 in Western European fashion and Cavalier poet An example of the Cavalier style can be seen in the painting `` Charles I , King of England , from Three Angles '' by Anthony van Dyck .

Mr. Olympia
Mr. Olympia - wikipedia Mr. Olympia Jump to : navigation , search For the professional wrestler , see Jerry Stubbs . Mr. Olympia is the title awarded to the winner of the professional men 's bodybuilding contest at Joe Weider 's Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend -- an international bodybuilding competition that is held annually by the International Federation of BodyBuilding & Fitness ( IFBB ) . Joe Weider created the contest to enable the Mr. Universe winners to continue competing and to earn money . The first Mr. Olympia was held on September 18 , 1965 , at the Brooklyn Academy of Music , New York City , with Larry Scott winning his first of two straight titles . The record number of wins is eight , held by Lee Haney ( 1984 -- 1991 ) , and Ronnie Coleman ( 1998 -- 2005 ) . Phil Heath currently holds the title . The film Pumping Iron ( 1977 ) featured the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia in Pretoria South Africa and helped launch the acting careers of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno . There is also a female bodybuilder crowned , Ms. Olympia , as well as winners of Fitness Olympia and Figure Olympia for fitness and figure competitors . All four contests occur during the same weekend . From 1994 to 2003 and again in 2012 , a Masters Olympia was also crowned . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 1.1 1960s 1.2 1970s 1.3 1980s 1.4 1990s 1.5 2000s 1.6 2010s 2 Qualifying 3 Winners 3.1 Demographics 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) 1960s ( edit ) The 1965 and 1966 Mr. Olympia were won by Larry Scott , a famous bodybuilder of the time . Scott subsequently retired after his 1966 victory . Harold Poole holds two Mr. Olympia distinctions . One is that he is the youngest ever competitor to have participated in the Olympia . In 1965 he competed in the first Mr. Olympia at the age of 21 . The other is that he was the only man to compete in all three of the initial Mr. Olympia contests . He was runner - up in the 1965 and 1966 shows . Arnold Schwarzenegger The 1967 Mr. Olympia , won by Sergio Oliva , heralded a new era in bodybuilding competition . At 5 ft 10 ins and 240 lbs Oliva , nicknamed `` The Myth '' , displayed a level of muscle mass and definition , including a `` V '' shape of a large and a well - formed upper - body that tapered down to a narrow waist , unlike anything seen in prior competitions . His upper arms measured nearly 22 inches and his chest measured at 55 inches , which tapered down to a reportedly 28 inch waist and two 31 inch legs . Oliva would go on to win the Mr. Olympia competition in 1967 , 1968 , and 1969 -- where he would defeat Arnold Schwarzenegger four to three , marking Schwarzenegger 's first and only loss in a Mr. Olympia competition . 1970s ( edit ) Schwarzenegger defeated Oliva at the 1970 Mr. Olympia after finishing second the year before . At 6 ′ 2 '' and 240 lbs , he was able to match Sergio Oliva for size in his upper arms , chest , and back . However , contest judges deemed that Schwarzenegger 's extra definition and muscularity over Sergio Oliva were substantial enough to award him the title . Schwarzenegger successfully defeated Oliva again in 1972 . Schwarzenegger went on to win the next three Mr. Olympia competitions , including the 1975 Mr. Olympia competition , which was highlighted in the 1977 docudrama Pumping Iron and featured other notable bodybuilders such as Lou Ferrigno , Serge Nubret , and Franco Columbu , who would go on to win the 1976 and 1981 competitions . From 1974 until 1979 , a dual weight division system was used , splitting competitors into two categories : `` Heavyweights '' ( over 200lbs ) and `` Lightweights '' ( under 200lbs ) . The winners of each division would then compete against each other to decide an overall champion . After winning the 1975 competition , Schwarzenegger announced his retirement from competitive bodybuilding ; this was also depicted in Pumping Iron . Frank Zane Frank Zane won the 1977 , 1978 , and 1979 competitions . While not as physically massive as previous competitors such as Schwarzenegger , Oliva , or Ferrigno , Zane developed his physique to highlight symmetry aesthetics and definition . As such , Zane was able to defeat opponents who exceeded his own muscle - mass but lacked his level of muscular definition . 1977 was the first year the Sandow trophy was awarded . 1980s ( edit ) In 1980 , Schwarzenegger came out of retirement to win the Olympia yet again . Schwarzenegger had been a late entry into the competition , and his competitors did not know of his intentions to compete . The following year , Franco Columbu was victorious . Chris Dickerson won the 1982 competition , Samir Bannout won the 1983 competition , and Lee Haney won the 1984 competition . This was the start of 8 straight titles by Lee Haney . 1990s ( edit ) Haney retired from competitive bodybuilding after his last Mr. Olympia victory in 1991 . Having placed second to Haney the previous year , Dorian Yates won the competition six straight times from 1992 until 1997 . He retired after his final Olympia victory . Dorian is given credit for revolutionizing the sport during his reign as Mr. Olympia by combining larger mass than seen before with what was dubbed `` granite hardness '' . The 90s were given the nickname `` The Growth Hormone era '' . Dorian was the first Mr. Olympian to experiment with the hormone , which had succeeding bodybuilders packed with size . Subsequently , judging in professional bodybuilding competitions started placing greater emphasis on muscle mass , with many bodybuilding traditionalists commenting that muscle mass had now become the most important factor to winning , even greater than that of symmetry , aesthetics , and proportion . Yates retired from competitive bodybuilding after his 1997 victory . Flex Wheeler seemed to be the heir apparent but Ronnie Coleman surprised everyone with a new improved physique in 1998 , winning 8 consecutive titles . In 1994 Joe Weider decided to add a separate Masters Olympia competition for professional bodybuilders to continue to compete at the highest levels in their later years . 2000s ( edit ) Ronnie Coleman Ronnie Coleman won the Mr. Olympia competition eight consecutive times , tying the record set by Lee Haney . Coleman returned in 2006 to defend his title but instead placed second to Jay Cutler , who won his first title after four consecutive years of finishing second to Coleman . Cutler successfully defended his title again in 2007 . Coleman came in fourth place and announced his retirement from competition . In 2008 , Dexter Jackson defeated Jay Cutler and became Mr. Olympia . In 2009 , Jay Cutler became the third Mr. Olympia in history ( the others being Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbu ) to reclaim the title and the only Mr. Olympia in history to reclaim the title after having it lost , by returning on stage and defeating the reigning champion Dexter Jackson who placed third in 2009 . 2010s ( edit ) In 2010 , Cutler returned to claim his 4th Mr. Olympia title , becoming just the fifth competitor in Olympia history to win the title more than 3 times . In 2011 , Phil Heath defeated Cutler for the title , beginning a winning streak that would last through the present day . From 2012 to 2014 , the Olympia was dominated by the rivalry between Kai Greene and Heath , with Greene taking 2nd place and Heath 1st three years in a row . In 2016 , Heath won his sixth straight title , while Greene did not compete in either the 2015 or 2016 Olympia . The 2008 Mr. Olympia winner Dexter Jackson took the 2nd place in 2015 while Shawn Rhoden was runner up in 2016 . Qualifying ( edit ) In 2011 , days after the conclusion of the 2011 Olympia Weekend , Chairman of the IFBB Professional League Jim Manion amended the qualifying rules as follows : Top five in each division at the Olympia . Top three in each division at the Arnold Classic / International . Top two in each division at the New York Pro . 1st place at all other competitions , even the Amateurs World Championship Competition .

China 's population reached the billion mark in 1982 . China 's population is 1.411 billion , the largest of any country in the world . According to the 2010 census , 91.51 % of the population was Han Chinese , and 8.49 % were minorities . China 's population growth rate is only 0.59 % , ranking 159th in the world . China conducted its sixth national population census on 1 November 2010 .

After the collapse of the Han Dynasty , the population stayed around 50 million until the advent of the Tang Dynasty . Under the Tang Dynasty , the population increased from 45 million to 80 million over the course of 200 years . At the beginning of the Song Dynasty , the population stood at over 100 million . After Ming and earlier period of Qing dynasty founded population moved around 100 million to 150 million for until 1700s . In the period between 1749 and 1851 , the population doubled in a century . During 1960 - 2015 , the population doubled to nearly 1.4 billion . Censuses in China ( edit ) The People 's Republic of China conducted censuses in 1953 , 1964 , 1982 , 2000 , and 2010 . In 1987 , the government announced that the fourth national census would take place in 1990 and that there would be one every ten years thereafter . The 1982 census ( which reported a total population of 1,008,180,738 ) is generally accepted as significantly more reliable , accurate , and thorough than the previous two . Various international organizations eagerly assisted the Chinese in conducting the 1982 census , including the United Nations Fund for Population Activities , which donated US $15.6 million for the preparation and execution of the census . China has been the world 's most populous nation for many centuries . When China took its first post-1949 census in 1953 , the population stood at 583 million ; by the fifth census in 2000 , the population had more than doubled , reaching 1.2 billion . By the sixth census in 2010 , the total population had reached to 1,370,536,875 , with the mainland having 1,339,724,852 , Hong Kong having 7,097,600 , and Macau having 552,300 .

It was by far the most thorough and accurate census taken since 1949 and confirmed that China was a nation of more than 1 billion people , or about one - fifth of the world 's population . The census provided demographers with a set of data on China 's age - sex structure , fertility and mortality rates , and population density and distribution . Information was also gathered on minority ethnic groups , urban population , and marital status . For the first time since the People 's Republic of China was founded , demographers had reliable information on the size and composition of the Chinese work force . The nation began preparing for the 1982 census in late 1976 . Chinese census workers were sent to the United States and Japan to study modern census - taking techniques and automation . Computers were installed in every provincial - level unit except Tibet and were connected to a central processing system in the Beijing headquarters of the State Statistical Bureau . Pretests and small scale trial runs were conducted and checked for accuracy between 1980 and 1981 in twenty - four provincial - level units . Census stations were opened in rural production brigades and urban neighborhoods . Beginning on 1 July 1982 , each household sent a representative to a census station to be enumerated . The census required about a month to complete and employed approximately 5 million census takers . The 1982 census collected data in nineteen demographic categories relating to individuals and households . The thirteen areas concerning individuals were name , relationship to head of household , sex , age , nationality , registration status , educational level , profession , occupation , status of nonworking persons , marital status , number of children born and still living , and number of births in 1981 . The six items pertaining to households were type ( domestic or collective ) , serial number , number of persons , number of births in 1981 , number of deaths in 1981 , and number of registered persons absent for more than one year . Information was gathered in a number of important areas for which previous data were either extremely inaccurate or simply nonexistent , including fertility , marital status , urban population , minority ethnic groups , sex composition , age distribution , and employment and unemployment . A fundamental anomaly in the 1982 statistics was noted by some Western analysts . They pointed out that although the birth and death rates recorded by the census and those recorded through the household registration system were different , the two systems arrived at similar population totals . The discrepancies in the vital rates were the result of the underreporting of both births and deaths to the authorities under the registration system ; families would not report some births because of the one - child policy and would not report some deaths so as to hold on to the rations of the deceased . Nevertheless , the 1982 census was a watershed for both Chinese and world demographics . After an eighteen - year gap , population specialists were given a wealth of reliable , up - to - date figures on which to reconstruct past demographic patterns , measure current population conditions , and predict future population trends . For example , Chinese and foreign demographers used the 1982 census age - sex structure as the base population for forecasting and making assumptions about future fertility trends . The data on age - specific fertility and mortality rates provided the necessary base - line information for making population projections . The census data also were useful for estimating future manpower potential , consumer needs , and utility , energy , and health - service requirements . The sudden abundance of demographic data helped population specialists immeasurably in their efforts to estimate world population . Previously , there had been no accurate information on these 21 % of the Earth 's inhabitants . Demographers who had been conducting research on global population without accurate data on the Chinese fifth of the world 's population were particularly thankful for the 1982 breakthrough census . Population control ( edit ) See also : One - child policy Birth rate in China Initially , China 's post-1949 leaders were ideologically disposed to view a large population as an asset . But the liabilities of a large , rapidly growing population soon became apparent . For one year , starting in August 1956 , vigorous support was given to the Ministry of Public Health 's mass birth control efforts . These efforts , however , had little impact on fertility . After the interval of the Great Leap Forward , Chinese leaders again saw rapid population growth as an obstacle to development , and their interest in birth control revived . In the early 1960s , schemes somewhat more muted than during the first campaign , emphasized the virtues of late marriage . Birth control offices were set up in the central government and some provincial - level governments in 1964 . The second campaign was particularly successful in the cities , where the birth rate was cut in half during the 1963 -- 66 period . The upheaval of the Cultural Revolution brought the program to a halt , however . In 1972 and 1973 the party mobilized its resources for a nationwide birth control campaign administered by a group in the State Council . Committees to oversee birth control activities were established at all administrative levels and in various collective enterprises . This extensive and seemingly effective network covered both the rural and the urban population . In urban areas public security headquarters included population control sections . In rural areas the country 's `` barefoot doctors '' distributed information and contraceptives to people 's commune members . By 1973 Mao Zedong was personally identified with the family planning movement , signifying a greater leadership commitment to controlled population growth than ever before . Yet until several years after Mao 's death in 1976 , the leadership was reluctant to put forth directly the rationale that population control was necessary for economic growth and improved living standards . Population growth targets were set for both administrative units and individual families . In the mid-1970s the maximum recommended family size was two children in cities and three or four in the country . Since 1979 the government has advocated a one - child limit for both rural and urban areas and has generally set a maximum of two children in special circumstances . As of 1986 the policy for minority nationalities was two children per couple , three in special circumstances , and no limit for ethnic groups with very small populations . The overall goal of the one - child policy was to keep the total population within 1.2 billion through the year 2000 , on the premise that the Four Modernizations program would be of little value if population growth was not brought under control . The one - child policy was a highly ambitious population control program . Like previous programs of the 1960s and 1970s , the one - child policy employed a combination of public education , social pressure , and in some cases coercion . The one - child policy was unique , however , in that it linked reproduction with economic cost or benefit . Under the one - child program , a sophisticated system rewarded those who observed the policy and penalized those who did not . Through this policy , the increasing population got temperate after the penalties were made . Couples with only one child were given a `` one - child certificate '' entitling them to such benefits as cash bonuses , longer maternity leave , better child care , and preferential housing assignments . In return , they were required to pledge that they would not have more children . In the countryside , there was great pressure to adhere to the one - child limit . Because the rural population accounted for approximately 60 % of the total , the effectiveness of the one - child policy in rural areas was considered the key to the success or failure of the program as a whole . In rural areas the day - to - day work of family planning was done by cadres at the team and brigade levels who were responsible for women 's affairs and by health workers . The women 's team leader made regular household visits to keep track of the status of each family under her jurisdiction and collected information on which women were using contraceptives , the methods used , and which had become pregnant . She then reported to the brigade women 's leader , who documented the information and took it to a monthly meeting of the commune birth - planning committee . According to reports , ceilings or quotas had to be adhered to ; to satisfy these cutoffs , unmarried young people were persuaded to postpone marriage , couples without children were advised to `` wait their turn , '' women with unauthorized pregnancies were pressured to have abortions , and those who already had children were urged to use contraception or undergo sterilization . Couples with more than one child were exhorted to be sterilized . The one - child policy enjoyed much greater success in urban than in rural areas . Even without state intervention , there were compelling reasons for urban couples to limit the family to a single child . Raising a child required a significant portion of family income , and in the cities a child did not become an economic asset until he or she entered the work force at age sixteen . Couples with only one child were given preferential treatment in housing allocation . In addition , because city dwellers who were employed in state enterprises received pensions after retirement , the sex of their first child was less important to them than it was to those in rural areas . Numerous reports surfaced of coercive measures used to achieve the desired results of the one - child policy . The alleged methods ranged from intense psychological pressure to the use of physical force , including some grisly accounts of forced abortions and infanticide . Chinese officials admitted that isolated , uncondoned abuses of the program occurred and that they condemned such acts , but they insisted that the family planning program was administered on a voluntary basis using persuasion and economic measures only . International reaction to the allegations were mixed . The UN Fund for Population Activities and the International Planned Parenthood Federation were generally supportive of China 's family planning program . The United States Agency for International Development , however , withdrew US $10 million from the Fund in March 1985 based on allegations that coercion had been used . Observers suggested that an accurate assessment of the one - child program would not be possible until all women who came of childbearing age in the early 1980s passed their fertile years . As of 1987 the one - child program had achieved mixed results . In general , it was very successful in almost all urban areas but less successful in rural areas . Rapid fertility reduction associated with the one - child policy has potentially negative results . For instance , in the future the elderly might not be able to rely on their children to care for them as they have in the past , leaving the state to assume the expense , which could be considerable . Based on United Nations and Chinese government statistics , it was estimated in 1987 that by the year 2000 the population 60 years and older ( the retirement age is 60 in urban areas ) would number 127 million , or 10.1 % of the total population ; the projection for 2025 was 234 million elderly , or 16.4 % . According to projections based on the 1982 census , if the one - child policy were maintained to the year 2000 , 25 % of China 's population would be age 65 or older by the year 2040 . In 2050 , the number of people over 60 is expected to increase to 430 million . Population density and distribution ( edit ) See also : Heihe -- Tengchong Line Overall China is the most populated country in the world and its national population density ( 137 / km ) is similar to those of Switzerland and the Czech Republic . The overall population density of China conceals major regional variations , the western and northern part have a few million people , while eastern half has about 1.3 billion . The vast majority of China 's population lives near the east in major cities . Coast and eastern China In the 11 provinces , special municipalities , and autonomous regions along the southeast coast , population density was 320.6 people per km . Broadly speaking , the population was concentrated east of the mountains and south of the northern steppe . The most densely populated areas included the Yangtze River Valley ( of which the delta region was the most populous ) , Sichuan Basin , North China Plain , Pearl River Delta , and the industrial area around the city of Shenyang in the northeast . Western areas Population is most sparse in the mountainous , desert , and grassland regions of the northwest and southwest . In Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region , portions are completely uninhabited , and only a few sections have populations denser than ten people per km . The Inner Mongolia , Xinjiang , and Tibet autonomous regions and Qinghai and Gansu comprise 55 % of the country 's land area but in 1985 contained only 5.7 % of its population .

According to the 2010 census , males account for 51.27 % of China 's 1.34 billion people , while females made up 48.73 % of the total . The sex ratio ( the number of males for each female in a population ) at birth was 118.06 boys to every 100 girls ( 54.14 % ) in 2010 , higher than the 116.86 ( 53.89 % ) of 2000 , but 0.53 points lower than the ratio of 118.59 ( 54.25 % ) in 2005 . In most western countries the sex ratio at birth is around 105 boys to 100 girls ( 51.22 % ) . At the moment there are about 9 million more boys than girls in China .

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Planning November 2015 announcement , China 's 2015 TFR was somewhere between 1.5 and 1.6 . The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics ( NBS ) seems to contradict this , stating China 's TFR for 2015 was 1 , 05 . Although there is a natural margin of error since the NBS surveys only a thin cross-section of Chinese society , approximately 1 % of the total population .

Beginning in the early 1950s , mortality steadily declined ; it continued to decline through 1978 and remained relatively constant through 1987 . One major fluctuation was reported in a computer reconstruction of China 's population trends from 1953 to 1987 produced by the United States Bureau of the Census . The computer model showed that the crude death rate increased dramatically during the famine years associated with the Great Leap Forward ( 1958 -- 60 ) . According to Chinese government statistics , the crude birth rate followed five distinct patterns from 1949 to 1982 . It remained stable from 1949 to 1954 , varied widely from 1955 to 1965 , experienced fluctuations between 1966 and 1969 , dropped sharply in the late 1970s , and increased from 1980 to 1981 . Between 1970 and 1980 , the crude birth rate dropped from 33.4 per 1,000 to 18.2 per 1,000 . The government attributed this dramatic decline in fertility to the wǎn xī shǎo ( `` 晚 、 稀 、 少 '' , or `` late , long , few '' : later marriages , longer intervals between births , and fewer children ) birth control campaign . However , elements of socioeconomic change , such as increased employment of women in both urban and rural areas and reduced infant mortality ( a greater percentage of surviving children would tend to reduce demand for additional children ) , may have played some role . The birth rate increased in the 1980s to a level over 20 per 1,000 , primarily as a result of a marked rise in marriages and first births . The rise was an indication of problems with the one - child policy of 1979 . Chinese sources , however , indicate that the birth rate started to decrease again in the 1990s and reached a level of around 12 per 1,000 in recent years . In urban areas , the housing shortage may have been at least partly responsible for the decreased birth rate . Also , the policy in force during most of the 1960s and the early 1970s of sending large numbers of high school graduates to the countryside deprived cities of a significant proportion of persons of childbearing age and undoubtedly had some effect on birth rates ( see Cultural Revolution ( 1966 -- 76 ) ) . Primarily for economic reasons , rural birth rates tended to decline less than urban rates . The right to grow and sell agricultural products for personal profit and the lack of an old - age Welfare system were incentives for rural people to produce many children , especially sons , for help in the fields and for support in old age . Because of these conditions , it is unclear to what degree education had been able to erode traditional values favoring large families . Today , the population continues to grow . There is also a serious gender imbalance . Census data obtained in 2000 revealed that 119 boys were born for every 100 girls , and among China 's `` floating population '' the ratio was as high as 128 : 100 . These situations led the government in July 2004 to ban selective abortions of female fetuses . It is estimated that this imbalance will rise until 2025 -- 2030 to reach 20 % then slowly decrease . China now has an increasingly aging population ; it is projected that 11.8 % of the population in 2020 will be 65 years of age and older . Health care has improved dramatically in China since 1949 . Major diseases such as cholera , typhoid , and scarlet fever have been brought under control . Life expectancy has more than doubled , and infant mortality has dropped significantly . On the negative side , the incidence of cancer , cerebrovascular disease , and heart disease has increased to the extent that these have become the leading causes of death . Economic reforms initiated in the late 1970s fundamentally altered methods of providing health care ; the collective medical care system has been gradually replaced by a more individual - oriented approach . In Hong Kong , the birth rate of 0.9 % is lower than its death rate . Hong Kong 's population increases because of immigration from the mainland and a large expatriate population comprising about 4 % . Like Hong Kong , Macau also has a low birth rate relying on immigration to maintain its population . Total fertility rate ( edit ) According to the 2000 census , the TFR was 1.22 ( 0.86 for cities , 1.08 for towns and 1.43 for villages / outposts ) . Beijing had the lowest TFR at 0.67 , while Guizhou had the highest at 2.19 . The Xiangyang district of Jiamusi city ( Heilongjiang ) has a TFR of 0.41 , which is the lowest TFR recorded anywhere in the world in recorded history . Other extremely low TFR counties are : 0.43 in the Heping district of Tianjin city ( Tianjin ) , and 0.46 in the Mawei district of Fuzhou city ( Fujian ) . At the other end TFR was 3.96 in Geji County ( Tibet ) , 4.07 in Jiali County ( Tibet ) , and 5.47 in Baqing County ( Tibet ) . The 2010 census reported a TFR of 1.18 ( 0.88 in cities , 1.15 in townships , and 1.44 in rural areas ) . The five regions with the lowest fertility rates were Beijing ( 0.71 ) , Shanghai ( 0.74 ) , Liaoning ( 0.74 ) , Heilongjiang ( 0.75 ) , and Jilin ( 0.76 ) . The five regions with the highest fertility rates were Guangxi ( 1.79 ) , Guizhou ( 1.75 ) , Xinjiang ( 1.53 ) , Hainan ( 1.51 ) , and Anhui ( 1.48 ) . Total fertility rate by ethnic group ( 2010 census ) : Han ( 1.14 ) , Zhuang ( 1.59 ) , Hui ( 1.48 ) , Manchu ( 1.18 ) , Uyghur ( 2.04 ) , Miao ( 1.82 ) , Yi ( 1.82 ) , Tujia ( 1.74 ) , Tibetan ( 1.60 ) , Mongols ( 1.26 ) . Labor force ( edit ) In 2012 , for the first time , according to statistics released by China 's National Bureau of Statistics in January 2013 , the number of people theoretically able to enter the Chinese labor force ( individuals aged 15 to 59 ) , shrank slightly to 937.27 million people , a decrease of 3.45 million from 2011 . This trend , resulting from China 's demographic transition , is anticipated to continue for at least the next 20 years , to 2030 . The CIA World Fact Book estimates the 2012 actual active labor force to amount to 798.5 million . Height and weight ( edit ) As of 2012 , the average Chinese man was 167.1 centimeters tall ( 5 ft 5.8 in ) in 2012 , the figures showed , and women 's average height was 155.8 centimeters ( 5 ft 1.3 in ) . The same study showed an average Chinese man weighed 66.2 kilograms ( 145.9 lbs , or 10 stone 5.9 lbs ) , up 3.5 kilograms ( 7.7 lbs ) over 10 years , while women were 2.9 kilograms ( 6.4 pounds ) heavier on average at 57.3 kilograms ( 126.3 pounds , or 9 stone 0.3 lbs ) . They were up just 0.4 centimeters ( 0.16 in ) and 0.7 centimeters ( 0.28 in ) respectively from 10 years earlier . Ethnic groups ( edit ) Main article : List of ethnic groups in China Ethnolinguistic map of the People 's Republic of China and the Republic of China The People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) officially recognizes 56 distinct ethnic groups , the largest of which are Han , who constitute 91.51 % of the total population in 2010 . Ethnic minorities constitute 8.49 % or 113.8 million of China 's population in 2010 . During the past decades ethnic minorities have experienced higher growth rates than the majority Han population , because they are not under the one - child policy . Their proportion of the population in China has grown from 6.1 % in 1953 , to 8.04 % in 1990 , 8.41 % in 2000 , and 8.49 % in 2010 . Large ethnic minorities ( data according to the 2000 census ) include the Zhuang ( 16 million , 1.28 % ) , Manchu ( 10 million , 0.84 % ) , Uyghur ( 9 million , 0.78 % ) , Hui ( 9 million , 0.71 % ) , Miao ( 8 million , 0.71 % ) , Yi ( 7 million , 0.61 % ) , Tujia ( 5.75 million , 0.63 % ) , Mongols ( 5 million , 0.46 % ) , Tibetan ( 5 million , 0.43 % ) , Buyi ( 3 million , 0.23 % ) , and Korean ( 2 million , 0.15 % ) .

In Macau , the largest substantial ethnic groups of non-Chinese descent are the Macanese , of mixed Chinese and Portuguese descent ( Eurasians ) , as well as migrants from the Philippines and Thailand . Overseas Filipinas working as domestic workers comprise the largest non-Han Chinese ethnic group in Hong Kong . People from other immigration jurisdictions ( edit ) The 2010 Census counted 234,829 residents from Hong Kong , 21,201 residents from Macao , 170,283 residents from Taiwan , and 593,832 residents from other locations , totaling 1,020,145 residents .

Its pronunciation is based on the Beijing dialect of the Mandarin Chinese dialect group , which was traditionally the formal version the Chinese language . Other languages include other varieties of Chinese : Mandarin dialects , as well as Wu ( Shanghainese ) , Yue ( Cantonese ) , Eastern Min ( Fuzhou ) , Southern Min ( Hokkien or Taiwanese and Teochiu ) , Xiang , Gan and Hakka ; there are also minority languages spoken in China . Over 70 % of the Han ethnic group are native speakers of the Mandarin group of dialects spoken in northern and southwestern China . The rest , concentrated in south and southeast China , speak one of the six other major Chinese varieties . In addition to their own local dialect , nearly all Chinese also speak Standard Mandarin ( Putonghua ) , which is the language of instruction in all schools and is used for formal and official purposes . Non-Chinese languages spoken widely by ethnic minorities include Mongolian , Tibetan , Uyghur language and other Turkic languages ( in Xinjiang ) , Korean ( in the northeast ) , and Vietnamese ( in the southeast ) . In addition to Chinese , in the special administrative regions , English is an official language of Hong Kong and Portuguese is an official language of Macau . Patuá is a Portuguese creole spoken by a small number of Macanese . English , though not official , is widely used in Macau . In both of the special administrative regions , the dominant spoken form of Chinese is Cantonese . For written Chinese , the PRC officially uses simplified Chinese characters in mainland China , while traditional Chinese characters are used in Hong Kong and Macau . The de facto spoken standard in Hong Kong and Macao is Cantonese , although officially it is just the Chinese language , not specifying which spoken form is standard . The written official standard in Hong Kong and Macao is Mandarin in traditional Chinese characters . On 1 January 1979 , the PRC Government officially adopted the hanyu pinyin system for spelling Chinese names and places in mainland China in Roman letters . A system of romanization invented by the Chinese , pinyin has long been widely used in mainland China on street and commercial signs as well as in elementary Chinese textbooks as an aid in learning Chinese characters . Variations of pinyin also are used as the written forms of several minority languages . Pinyin replaced other conventional spellings in mainland China 's English - language publications . The U.S. Government and United Nations also adopted the pinyin system for all names of people and places in mainland China . For example , the capital of the PRC is spelled `` Beijing '' rather than `` Peking '' . Religions ( edit ) Geographic distribution of religions in China and Taiwan today . Chinese traditional religions : including worship of gods and ancestors , Confucianism , Taoism , and aspects from Buddhism Buddhism Islam Ethnic minorities ' indigenous religions Mongolian shamanism Dongbei folk religion and Manchu shamanism A pavilion of the Zi Fu Chan Buddhist monastery in Fuyang , Anhui . Main articles : Religion in China , Religion in Hong Kong , and Religion in Macau China has long been a cradle and host to a variety of the most enduring religio - philosophical traditions of the world . Confucianism and Taoism , plus Buddhism , constitute the `` three teachings '' , philosophical frameworks which historically have had a significant role in shaping Chinese culture . Elements of these three belief systems are often incorporated into the traditional folk religions . Chinese religions are family - oriented and do not demand exclusive adherence , allowing the practice or belief of several at the same time . Some scholars prefer not to use the term `` religion '' in reference to belief systems in China , and suggest `` cultural practices '' , `` thought systems '' or `` philosophies '' as more appropriate terms . There is a stimulating debate over what to call religion and who should be called religious in China . The emperors of China claimed the Mandate of Heaven and participated in Chinese religious practices . Since 1949 , China has been governed by the Communist Party of China , which , in theory , is as an officially atheist institution and prohibits party members from belonging to a religion . During Mao Zedong 's rule , religious movements were oppressed . Under more recent leaders , religious organisations have been given more autonomy . Presently , the Party formally and institutionally recognises five religions in China : Buddhism , Taoism , Islam , Protestantism , and Catholicism ( though despite historic links , the Party enforces a separation of the Chinese Catholic Church from the Roman Catholic Church ) . Demographically , the largest group of religious traditions is the Chinese folk religion , which overlaps with Taoism and Confucianism , and describes the worship of the shen 神 , a character that signifies the `` energies of generation '' , comprising deities of the natural environment , gods of human groups , heroes and ancestors , and figures from Chinese mythology . Among widespread cults even officially promoted there are those of Mazu ( goddess of the seas ) , Huangdi ( divine patriarch of all the Chinese , `` Volksgeist '' of the Chinese nation ) , Guandi ( god of war and business ) , Caishen ( god of prosperity and richness ) , Pangu and many others . China has many of the world 's tallest statues , including the tallest of all , the Spring Temple Buddha in Henan . Most of them represent buddhas and deities and have been built in the 2000s . Scholars have noted that in China there is no clear boundary between religions , especially Buddhism , Taoism and local folk religious practice . According to the most recent demographic analyses , an average 80 % of the population in China , that is hundreds of millions of people , practice some kinds of Chinese folk religions and Taoism , 10 -- 16 % are Buddhists , 2 -- 4 % are Christians , and 1 -- 2 % are Muslims . In addition to Han people 's local religious practices , there are also various ethnic minority groups in China who maintain their traditional autochthone religions . Various sects of indigenous origin gather 2 -- 3 % of the population , while Confucianism as a religious self - designation is popular among intellectuals . Significant faiths specifically connected to certain ethnic groups include Tibetan Buddhism and the Islamic religion of the Hui and Uyghur peoples . Christianity in China was introduced two times between the 7th and the 15th centuries , but failed to take root . It was reintroduced in the 16th century by Jesuit missionaries . Protestant missions and later Catholic missionaries expanded the presence of Christianity , which influenced the Taiping Rebellion of the mid 19th century . Under Communism , foreign missionaries were expelled , most churches closed and their schools , hospitals and orphanages seized . During the Cultural Revolution , many priests were imprisoned . After the late 1970s , religious freedoms for Christians improved . Migration ( edit ) Main articles : Migration in China and Chinese emigration Internal migration in the People 's Republic of China is one of the most extensive in the world according to the International Labour Organization . In fact , research done by Kam Wing Chan of the University of Washington suggests that `` In the 30 years since 1979 , China 's urban population has grown by about 440 million to 622 million in 2009 . Of the 440 million increase , about 340 million was attributable to net migration and urban reclassification . Even if only half of that increase was migration , the volume of rural - urban migration in such a short period is likely the largest in human history . '' Migrants in China are commonly members of a floating population , which refers primarily to migrants in China without local household registration status through the Chinese Hukou system . In general , rural - urban migrant workers are most excluded from local educational resources , citywide social welfare programs and many jobs because of their lack of hukou status . In 2011 a total of 252.78 million migrant workers ( an increase of 4.4 % compared to 2010 ) existed in China . Out of these , migrant workers who left their hometown and worked in other provinces accounted for 158.63 million ( an increase of 3.4 % compared to 2010 ) and migrant workers who worked within their home provinces reached 94.15 million ( an increase of 5.9 % compared to 2010 ) . Estimations are that Chinese cities will face an influx of another 243 million migrants by 2025 , taking the urban population up to nearly 1 billion people . This population of migrants would represent `` almost 40 percent of the total urban population , '' a number which is almost three times the current level . While it is often difficult to collect accurate statistical data on migrant floating populations , the number of migrants is undoubtedly quite large . `` In China 's largest cities , for instance , it is often quoted that at least one out of every five persons is a migrant . '' China 's government influences the pattern of urbanization through the Hukou permanent residence registration system , land - sale policies , infrastructure investment and the incentives offered to local government officials . The other factors influencing migration of people from rural provincial areas to large cities are employment , education , business opportunities and higher standard of living . Map of Chinese Migration from the 1800s to 1949 The mass emigration known as the Chinese diaspora , which occurred from the 19th century to 1949 , was mainly caused by wars and starvation in mainland China , invasion from various foreign countries , as well as the problems resulting from political corruption . Most immigrants were illiterate peasants and manual labourers , called `` coolies '' by analogy to the same pattern of immigration from India , who emigrated to work in countries such as the Americas , Australia , South Africa and Southeast Asia . Urbanization ( edit ) Urban construction work in Guangshui , 2013 Main article : Urbanization in China Urbanization increased in speed following the initiation of the reform and opening policy . By the end of 2014 , 54.7 % of the total population lived in urban areas , a rate that rose from 26 % in 1990 .

The 113th edition of the World Series , it was played between October 24 and November 1 . The series was a best - of - seven playoff between the National League ( NL ) champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the American League ( AL ) champion Houston Astros . It was sponsored by the internet television service YouTube TV and officially known as the World Series presented by YouTube TV . The Astros defeated the Dodgers , four games to three , to win their first World Series in franchise history , and the first team from Texas to do so . Both teams set a World Series record with a combined total of 25 home runs throughout the entire series , including a team record 15 home runs by the Astros , and hit a combined total of eight home runs in Game 2 to set the single game World Series mark . Houston outfielder George Springer was named as the World Series Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) after hitting five home runs in the series to tie a World Series record with Reggie Jackson in 1977 and Dodgers ' 2017 World Series representative Chase Utley in 2009 when he played for the Philadelphia Phillies . This was the first World Series in which home - field advantage was decided by the regular season record of pennant winners . From 1903 to 2002 , home - field advantage alternated between the AL and NL , and from 2003 to 2016 , it was determined by results from that season 's All - Star Game , when it was awarded to the team from the winning league . With 104 regular season wins , the Dodgers earned home - field advantage over the Astros , who had 101 regular season wins . The series was played in a 2 -- 3 -- 2 format , with the Dodgers hosting Games 1 , 2 , 6 , and 7 ; and the Astros hosting Games 3 , 4 , and 5 .

Los Angeles defeated Houston in the 1981 National League Division Series in five games en route to its World Series championship that year . The teams also met in the 1980 National League West tie - breaker game . This was the first Fall Classic since 1970 , and the eighth overall , in which both participants had 100 or more wins during the regular season . With the Astros and Dodgers having waited a combined 85 years for a championship ( the Dodgers last won the World Series in 1988 , and the Astros had never won since their 1962 formation ) , this was the third straight year in which the World Series teams had waited a combined 50 years or more to win a World Series , following 2015 at 59 years and 2016 at 176 years . Both teams had not lost at home this postseason leading to the World Series . The two teams did not meet in interleague play during the regular season . This was also the third consecutive World Series to extend into November , although the 2015 World Series did not go up to Game 7 . Los Angeles Dodgers ( edit ) Main article : 2017 Los Angeles Dodgers season The Dodgers held a 91 -- 36 record through August 25 . However , a late season slump , in which the team lost 20 of 25 games ( highlighted by 11 straight losses ) , led to questions about whether the Dodgers would succeed in the postseason . Despite the slump , the team recovered to win eight of its final ten regular season games , securing their fifth consecutive National League West title and home field advantage throughout the playoffs . In the postseason , the Dodgers swept the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series and defeated the defending World Series champion Chicago Cubs in the previous year 's rematch of the National League Championship Series in five games . This was the first appearance in the Fall Classic for the Dodgers since 1988 , the tenth since the franchise moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958 , and the 19th overall . Entering the 2017 World Series , the Dodgers bullpen had thrown 23 consecutive scoreless innings , a postseason record for a bullpen . Additionally , by outscoring the Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs by a combined 48 -- 19 margin , the Dodgers entered the World Series with the third - best run differential of any pennant winner since the playoff structure was expanded in 1995 . All - Star shortstop Corey Seager , who was out for the entire National League Championship Series with a back injury , was included on the Dodgers ' World Series roster . Manager Dave Roberts became first manager of Asian heritage ever in the World Series , as well as the fourth African - American manager . Houston Astros ( edit ) Main article : 2017 Houston Astros season The Astros wore a patch during the 2017 World Series in support of Hurricane Harvey victims in Houston With a 101 -- 61 regular season record , the team won its first American League West title since moving from the National League Central starting in its 2013 season , and their first division title since 2001 . In the American League Division Series , they defeated the Boston Red Sox in four games and then defeated the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series ( ALCS ) in seven games . This was their second World Series appearance and first since 2005 , when they were swept in four games by the Chicago White Sox . They became the first team in history to make it to the World Series as members of both the National League and the American League . The city of Houston in August 2017 suffered record flooding from Hurricane Harvey . The team began to wear patches which had the logo of the team with the word `` Strong '' on the bottom of the patch , as well as promoting the hashtag Houston Strong . Manager A.J. Hinch has stated in an interview that the team was n't just playing for a title , but to help boost moral support for the city . On August 31 , just seconds before the midnight deadline , the Astros traded for Justin Verlander . Following the trade , including the regular season and postseason to this point , Verlander had posted a 9 -- 0 win - loss record with a 1.23 earned run average . He was named the ALCS MVP . Summary ( edit ) Houston won the series , 4 -- 3 .

Keith Williams Jr. , a gospel singer , performed `` The Star - Spangled Banner '' , the national anthem .

McCullers wound up pitching 5 ⁄ innings and allowed three runs on four hits . Brad Peacock replaced McCullers , completing the final 3 ⁄ innings with no hits allowed and four strikeouts to earn his first major league save . It was the longest hitless World Series relief outing since Ron Taylor 's four innings in Game 4 of the 1964 Series , and tied Ken Clay for the longest hitless postseason save , first accomplished in the 1978 ALCS . Gurriel made a racially insensitive gesture in the dugout after his home run . He stretched the sides of his eyes and mouthing the Spanish word chinito , which translates to `` little Chinese Boy '' ; Darvish is from Japan . Gurriel apologized , and said that anyone from Asia is called a chino in Cuba , although he acknowledged knowing that the term was offensive in Japan from having played there . As a result , Gurriel was suspended for the first five games of the 2018 MLB season without pay , but allowed to continue playing in the World Series . Game 4 ( edit ) Joc Pederson hit a three - run home run in Game 4 .

The national anthem was performed by the Houston Police Department Quartet . The starting pitchers for Game 4 were Alex Wood for the Dodgers and Charlie Morton for the Astros . Springer homered off Wood in the bottom of the sixth for the first run of the ballgame . It was the only hit Wood allowed in 5 ⁄ innings pitched in the game . Forsythe drove in Cody Bellinger to tie the game in the top of the seventh . Morton struck out seven and only allowed three hits and one run in 6 ⁄ innings . Bellinger then drove in the go - ahead run with a double in the top of the ninth off of Giles and the Dodgers added four more runs on a sacrifice fly by Austin Barnes and a three - run homer by Pederson . Bregman homered off of Jansen in the bottom of the ninth but the Dodgers managed to even up the series . The Astros had two hits in the game ; both were home runs . This was the first game in World Series history where both starting pitchers allowed four or fewer baserunners . After Game 4 , both teams ' pitching coaches , Rick Honeycutt for the Dodgers and Brent Strom for the Astros , commented on how the baseball being used for the World Series is slicker than the baseball used during the regular season . Pitchers on both teams noted that this difference has made it more difficult for them to throw their sliders . Game 5 ( edit ) Alex Bregman drove in the game - winning run in Game 5 .

Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch . His father , former President George H.W. Bush handed him the ball . Justin Verlander caught the pitch . Country singer Clay Walker performed the national anthem . Kershaw and Keuchel started Game 5 , in a rematch of the opening game of the series . Forsythe singled in two runs off of Keuchel in the first inning to put the Dodgers up early . A third run scored on a throwing error by Gurriel . Barnes singled in the fourth to score Forsythe . Keuchel pitched only 3 ⁄ innings for the Astros , allowing five hits and four runs ( three earned ) . This was his shortest home start of the season . The Astros scored their first run with an RBI double by Correa in the bottom of the fourth inning , followed by a three - run home run by Gurriel to tie the game . Bellinger hit a three - run home run off of Collin McHugh in the top of the fifth to put the Dodgers back on top only for Altuve to hit his own three - run home run in the bottom of the inning off Maeda to tie it back up . Kershaw pitched 4 ⁄ innings and allowed six runs on four hits and three walks . A triple by Bellinger on a line drive that Springer missed on a dive in the seventh inning off of Peacock scored Hernández from first base . In the bottom of the seventh inning , Springer hit a home run off the first pitch he saw off of Morrow , who was pitching for the third consecutive day , to tie the game . Bregman scored on a double by Altuve to put the Astros ahead for the first time in the game , and then Correa hit a two - run home run to extend the lead . Seager doubled in a run in the top of the eighth inning , but McCann hit a home run in the bottom of the inning . That was the 21st home run of the series , tying the record set in the 2002 World Series . Puig broke the record with a two - run home run in the top of the ninth inning . Down to their last strike , Chris Taylor drove in Barnes to tie the game with a single . In the tenth inning , Jansen hit McCann with a pitch to put him on base with two outs . Subsequently , Springer walked on five pitches to move McCann to second base . McCann was then replaced by pinch runner Derek Fisher . On the next pitch , Bregman singled in Fisher for the winning run . Bregman became the third youngest player to have a walk off hit in the World Series ever . The Astros became only the second team to come back twice from three runs down in a World Series game , the other were the Toronto Blue Jays in the 15 -- 14 win during Game 4 of the 1993 World Series . The six game tying home runs in the series to this point is the most for any World Series on record . This World Series set a new record for most players to hit a home run ( 14 to date in the World Series ) . With the teams combining to score 25 runs throughout the game , this was the highest scoring World Series game since the Florida Marlins defeated the Cleveland Indians 14 -- 11 in Game 3 of the 1997 World Series . Game 5 lasted five hours and seventeen minutes , making it the second longest World Series game in history by time , trailing only the 14 inning contest between the Astros and the Chicago White Sox in Game 3 of the 2005 World Series in the same ballpark , as well as the third World Series game ever to go beyond five hours of game time . This game is considered one of the greatest World Series games of all time . Game 6 ( edit ) Kenley Jansen recorded a two - inning save in Game 6 .

Los Angeles Police Department ( LAPD ) officer Rosalind Curry performed the national anthem . Game 6 featured the same starting pitchers as the second game : Verlander and Hill . Springer hit a solo home run off of Hill in the top of the third for the first run of the night . It was Springer 's fourth homer of the series , tied for third all - time in a single series and joining Gene Tenace , in 1972 , as the only players with four game - tying or go - ahead home runs in a World Series . Springer also joined Hank Bauer in the 1958 World Series and Barry Bonds in the 2002 World Series with four home runs in a series . The Astros loaded the bases in the fifth inning , but did not score . Hill pitched 4 ⁄ innings , struck out five and allowed four hits and one run .

Verlander pitched six innings with nine strikeouts and only three hits allowed . Pederson hit a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning and Jansen pitched two scoreless innings for the save .

The first pitch was thrown out by Sandy Koufax . Rick Monday , Steve Garvey and Don Newcombe participated as well . This was the first World Series Game 7 to be played at Dodger Stadium . It was also the first time since the 1931 World Series that a Game 7 occurred in a Series with both teams having won at least 100 games during the season . This was the first time since the 2001 World Series and 2002 World Series that back - to - back Fall Classics had a Game 7 . The starting pitchers for this game were the same as in the third game : McCullers and Darvish . Springer doubled to open the game and scored the first run on an error by Bellinger , which allowed Bregman to reach second base . Bregman stole third base and scored on an Altuve groundout . McCann scored the next inning on a groundout hit by the pitcher McCullers . Springer hit a two - run home run , his fifth of the series , tying Reggie Jackson and Chase Utley for most home runs in a single World Series and setting a new record with 29 total bases in any postseason series . As in Game 3 , Darvish lasted only 1 ⁄ innings ( tying the shortest outing of his career ) and became the third pitcher with two starts of less than two innings in a World Series , and the first since Art Ditmar in the 1960 World Series . Morrow relieved Darvish and in the process became only the second pitcher to pitch in all seven games of a single World Series , joining Darold Knowles in the 1973 World Series . McCullers lasted only 2 ⁄ innings himself ; he allowed three hits and hit a World Series record four batters . This was the first Game 7 in World Series history where neither starting pitcher got past the third inning . The Dodgers failed to score a run and left eight men on base through five innings . Ethier , pinch hitting , scored Pederson on a single in the sixth inning for the Dodgers ' only run . They only had one hit in 13 chances with runners in scoring position in the game . Kershaw pitched four scoreless innings of relief in the game , and in the process , he broke Orel Hershiser 's Dodgers postseason record with his 33rd strikeout . Morton pitched four innings of relief to earn the win , as Corey Seager grounded out to José Altuve , who threw to Yuli Gurriel to end the game , series , baseball season , and their 56 - year drought . The Astros became the third consecutive road team to win a World Series Game 7 as well as the fourth consecutive team to end a World Series on the road ( after the 2014 Giants , 2015 Royals and 2016 Cubs ) . They also became just the second team to win a seven game League Championship Series and a seven game World Series in the same year , following the 1985 Kansas City Royals . Springer won the World Series MVP Award . With the Astros winning this is the third consecutive year that the team with the longer World Series drought won the series .

Education in Australia
Education in Australia - Wikipedia Education in Australia Jump to : navigation , search Education in Australia National education budget ( 2009 ) Budget $489 million ( 5.10 % of GDP ) -- 56th ranking of government expenditure on education worldwide . General details Primary languages English System type State Established compulsory education 1830s 1870s Literacy ( 2003 ) Total 99 % Male 99 % Female 99 % Enrollment ( 2008 ) Total 20.4 % of population Primary 1.9 million Secondary 1.4 million Post secondary 1 million Education in Australia encompasses the sectors of early childhood education ( preschool ) and primary education ( primary schools ) , followed by secondary education ( high schools ) , tertiary education ( universities , TAFE colleges , and vocational education and training providers ) and adult education ( referred to as adult and community education or ACE ) . Regulation and funding of education is primarily the responsibility of the States and territories , but the Federal Government also plays a funding role . Education in Australia is compulsory between the ages of five or six and fifteen , sixteen or seventeen , depending on the State or territory and date of birth . For primary and secondary education , government schools educate approximately 60 % of Australian students , with approximately 40 % in private or independent schools . At the tertiary level , the majority of Australia 's universities are public , and student fees are subsidised through a student loan program where payment becomes due when graduates reach a certain income level . For primary and secondary schools , a national Australian Curriculum has been progressively developed and implemented since 2010 . The Education Index , published with the UN 's Human Development Index in 2008 , based on data from 2006 , lists Australia as 0.993 , the highest in the world . In 1966 , Australia signed the Convention against Discrimination in Education , which aims to combat discrimination and racial segregation in the field of education . Contents ( hide ) 1 Regulation and funding 2 Preschool 3 Primary and secondary education 3.1 Compulsory attendance requirements 3.2 Government schools 3.3 Private and independent schools 4 Tertiary education 5 International students 6 Rankings 7 Issues and controversies 7.1 Government education policy 7.2 School violence 8 See also 9 References 10 Further reading 11 External links Regulation and funding ( edit ) The regulation , operation , and funding of education is primarily the responsibility of the States and territories , partly because the Federal Government does not have a specific constitutional power to pass laws with respect to education . However , the Federal government helps fund independent or private schools , helps fund public universities and subsidises tertiary education through a national student loan scheme , and regulates vocational education providers . Post-compulsory education is regulated within the Australian Qualifications Framework , a unified system of national qualifications in schools , vocational education and training , and the tertiary education sector . The Federal Government 's involvement in education has been the responsibility of a number of departments over the years , the present version of which is the Department of Education and Training . The academic year in Australia varies between States and institutions , but generally runs from late January / early February until early / mid-December for primary and secondary schools , with slight variations in the inter-term holidays and TAFE colleges , and from late February until mid-November for universities with seasonal holidays and breaks for each educational institute . Preschool ( edit ) Preschool and pre-prep programmes in Australia are relatively unregulated , and are not compulsory . The first exposure many Australian children have to learning with others outside of traditional parenting is day care or a parent - run playgroup . This sort of activity is not generally considered schooling , as preschool education is separate from primary school in all states and territories , except Western Australia where pre-school education is taught as part of the primary school system and Victoria where the state framework , VEYLDF covers children from birth to 8 years old , is used by some schools over the federal framework . In Queensland , preschool programmes are often called Kindergarten or Pre-Prep , and are usually privately run but attract state government funding if run for at least 600 hours a year and delivered by a registered teacher . Preschools are usually run by the state and territory governments , except in Victoria , South Australia and New South Wales where they are more often run by local councils , community groups or private organisations . Preschool is offered to three - to five - year - olds ; attendance numbers vary widely between the states , but 85.7 % of children attended pre-school the year before school . The year before a child is due to attend primary school is the main year for pre-school education . This year is far more commonly attended , and may take the form of a few hours of activity during weekdays . Responsibility for preschools in New South Wales and Victoria , lies with the Department of Education and Communities and the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development ( DEECD ) , respectively . In all other states and territories of Australia , responsibility for preschools lie with the relevant education department . The average net cost ( taking into account the Child Care Benefit and Child Care Tax Rebate entitlements ) for a long day care in Australia is $3.85 per hour , or a net cost of around $46 a day for a long day care service offering 12 - hour days . Primary and secondary Education ( edit ) Compulsory attendance requirements ( edit ) People attending an infants or primary school as a percentage of the local population at the 2011 census , geographically subdivided by statistical local area School education in Australia is compulsory between certain ages as specified by state or territory legislation . Depending on the state or territory , and date of birth of the child , school is compulsory from the age of five to six to the age of fifteen to seventeen . In the ACT , NSW , the Northern Territory , Queensland , South Australia , Victoria , and Western Australia , children are legally required to attend school from the age of six years old , until the minimum leaving age . In Tasmania , the compulsory school starting age is 5 years old . In recent years , over three quarters of students stay at school until they are seventeen . Government schools educate approximately 60 % of Australian students , with approximately 40 % in Catholic and independent schools . A small portion of students are legally home - schooled , particularly in rural areas . People attending secondary school as a percentage of the local population at the 2011 census , geographically subdivided by statistical local area Government schools ( edit ) Government schools ( also known as public schools ) are free to attend for Australian citizens and permanent residents , while Catholic and independent schools usually charge attendance fees . However , in addition to attendance fees , stationery , textbooks , uniforms , school camps and other schooling costs are not covered under government funding . The additional cost for schooling has been estimated to be on average $316 per year per child . Regardless of whether a school is part of the Government , Catholic or independent systems , they are required to adhere to the same curriculum frameworks of their state or territory . The curriculum framework however provides for some flexibility in the syllabus , so that subjects such as religious education can be taught . Most school students wear uniforms , although there are varying expectations and some Australian schools do not require uniforms . A common movement among secondary schools to support student voice has taken form as organisations such as VicSRC in Victoria bring together student leaders to promote school improvement . Private and independent schools ( edit ) See also : Public and private education in Australia , Catholic education in Australia , and Anglican education in Australia In 2010 66 % of students in Australia attended government schools , 20 % attended Catholic schools and 14 % attended independent schools . In 2000 these figures were 69 % , 20 % and 11 % respectively . Most Catholic schools are either run by their local parish , local diocese and their state 's Catholic education department . Independent schools include schools operated by secular educational philosophies such as Steiner or Montessori ; however , the majority of independent schools are religious , being Anglican , Protestant , Jewish , Islamic or non-denominational . In addition , many private schools are also Catholic , but independent of those run by the Church and Catholic education departments , which are classed as systemic schools . Some Catholic and independent schools charge high fees , and because of this Government funding for these schools is often criticised by the Australian Education Union and the Greens . Tertiary Education ( edit ) People attending a tertiary institution as a percentage of the local population at the 2011 census , geographically subdivided by statistical local area Main article : Tertiary education in Australia Further information : List of universities in Australia Tertiary education ( or higher education ) in Australia is primarily study at university or a technical college studying Diploma or above in order to receive a qualification or further skills and training . A higher education provider is a body that is established or recognised by or under the law of the Australian Government , a State , the Australian Capital Territory or the Northern Territory . VET providers , both public and private are registered by State and Territory governments . There are several prominent universities located in Adelaide , Brisbane , Canberra , Melbourne , Perth and Sydney . There are 43 universities in Australia : 40 public universities , two international universities , one private university . The largest university in Australia is Monash University in Melbourne : it has five campuses and 75,000 students . There are non-self - accrediting higher education providers accredited by State and Territory authorities , numbering more than 150 as listed on State and Territory registers . These include several that are registered in more than one State and Territory . All students doing nationally recognised training need to have a Unique Student Identifier ( USI ) . International students ( edit ) On 2017 International students studying in Australia reach record number a grand total of 583,243 . an increase of more than 10 % on the previous year . Rankings ( edit ) In terms of rankings , 33 Australian educational institutions are listed in the QS World University Rankings for 2016 , 31 institutions are listed in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings , 29 institutions are listed in China 's Academic Ranking of World Universities ranking , and 26 institutions in U.S. News & World Report 's Best Global Universities Rankings . The Programme for International Student Assessment ( PISA ) evaluation in 2006 ranked the Australian education system as sixth for reading , eighth for science and thirteenth for mathematics , on a worldwide scale including 56 countries . The PISA evaluation in 2009 ranked the Australian education system as sixth for reading , seventh for science and ninth for mathematics , an improvement relative to the 2006 rankings . In 2012 , education firm Pearson ranked Australian education as thirteenth in the world The Education Index , published with the UN 's Human Development Index in 2008 , based on data from 2006 , lists Australia as 0.993 , the highest in the world . Issues and controversies ( edit ) Government Education policy ( edit ) Despite a substantial increase in government spending per student over the past ten years ( after correcting for inflation ) , the proportion of students who are proficient in maths , reading and science has actually declined over that same period . The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Menzies Research Centre have both concluded that increasing school funding above a basic level has little effect on student proficiency . Instead , they both recommend greater autonomy . That is , the states should merely monitor the performance of the schools . Individual principals should have full authority and responsibility for ensuring student proficiency in core areas . School violence ( edit ) In Queensland , the Education Minister of the State of Queensland said in July 2009 that the rising levels of violence in schools in Queensland were `` totally unacceptable '' and that not enough had been done to combat violent behaviour . In Queensland , 55,000 school students had been suspended in 2008 , nearly a third of which were for `` physical misconduct '' . In South Australia , 175 violent attacks against students or staff were recorded in 2008 . Students were responsible for deliberately causing 3,000 injuries reported by teachers over two years from 2008 to 2009 .

what do they call high school in australia
[ "Education in Australia encompasses the sectors of early childhood education[8] (preschool) and primary education (primary schools), followed by secondary education (high schools), tertiary education (universities, TAFE colleges, and vocational education and training providers) and adult education (referred to as adult and community education or ACE)[9]. Regulation and funding of education is primarily the responsibility of the States and territories, but the Federal Government also plays a funding role.[10]" ]

Deadweight loss
Deadweight loss - wikipedia Deadweight loss Jump to : navigation , search Deadweight loss created by a binding price ceiling . The producer surplus always decreases , but the consumer surplus may or may not increase ; however , the decrease in producer surplus must be greater than the increase , if any , in consumer surplus . A deadweight loss , also known as excess burden or allocative inefficiency , is a loss of economic efficiency that can occur when equilibrium for a good or a service is not achieved . That can be caused by monopoly pricing in the case of artificial scarcity , an externality , a tax or subsidy , or a binding price ceiling or price floor such as a minimum wage . Contents ( hide ) 1 Examples 2 Harberger 's triangle 3 Hicks vs. Marshall 4 See also 5 References 6 Further reading 7 External links Examples ( edit ) An example is a market for nails where the cost of each nail is $0.10 and the demand decreases linearly , from a high demand for free nails to zero demand for nails at $1.10 . If the market has perfect competition , producers would have to charge a price of $0.10 , and every customer whose marginal benefit exceeds $0.10 cents would have a nail . However , if there is one producer with a monopoly on the product , it will charge whatever price will yield the greatest profit . The producer would then charge $0.60 cents and thus exclude every customer who had less than $0.60 of marginal benefit . The deadweight loss would then be the economic benefit foregone by such customers because of monopoly pricing . Conversely , deadweight loss can come from consumers if they buy a product even if it costs more than it benefits them . To describe this , if the same nail market had the government giving a $0.03 cent subsidy to every nail produced , the subsidy would push the market price of each nail down to $0.07 . Some consumers would then buy nails even though the benefit to them is less than the real cost of $0.10 . That unneeded expense would then create a deadweight loss , with resources not being used efficiently . The deadweight loss is the area of the triangle formed by the grey tax income box ( to the right of it ) , the original supply curve , and the demand curve . It is sometimes called Harberger 's triangle . If the price of a glass of wine is $3.00 and the price of a glass of beer is $3.00 , a consumer might prefer to drink wine . If the government decides to levy a wine tax of $3.00 per glass , the consumer might prefer to drink beer . The excess burden of taxation is the loss of utility to the consumer for drinking beer instead of wine since everything else remains unchanged . Harberger 's triangle ( edit ) Harberger 's triangle , generally attributed to Arnold Harberger , refers to the deadweight loss ( as measured on a supply and demand graph ) associated with government intervention in a perfect market . That can happen through price floors , caps , taxes , tariffs , or quotas . It also refers to the deadweight loss created by a government 's failure to intervene in a market with externalities . In the case of a government tax , the amount of the tax drives a wedge between what consumers pay and what producers receive , and the filled - in wedge shape is equivalent to the deadweight loss from the tax . The area represented by the triangle comes from the fact that the intersection of the supply and the demand curves are cut short so the consumer surplus and the producer surplus are also cut short . The loss of such surplus that is not recouped , is the deadweight loss . Some economists like James Tobin have argued that the triangles do not have a huge impact on the economy , but others like Martin Feldstein maintain that they can seriously affect long - term economic trends by pivoting the trend downwards and cause a magnification of losses in the long run . Hicks vs. Marshall ( edit ) An important distinction should be made between Hicksian ( per John Hicks ) and Marshallian ( per Alfred Marshall ) deadweight loss . After the consumer surplus is considered , it can be shown that the Marshallian deadweight loss is zero if demand is perfectly elastic or supply is perfectly inelastic . However , Hicks analyzed the situation through indifference curves and noted that when the Marshallian demand curve is perfectly inelastic , the policy or economic situation that caused a distortion in relative prices has a substitution effect , i.e. is a deadweight loss . In modern economic literature , the most common measure of a taxpayer 's loss from a distortionary tax , such as a tax on bicycles , is the equivalent variation , the maximum amount that a taxpayer would be willing to forgo in a lump sum to avoid the distortionary tax . The deadweight loss can then be interpreted as the difference between the equivalent variation and the revenue raised by the tax . The difference is attributable to the behavioural changes induced by a distortionary tax that are measured by a substitution effect . However , that is not the only interpretation , and Lind and Granqvist ( 2010 ) point out that Pigou did not use a lump sum tax as the point of reference to discuss deadweight loss ( excess burden ) . A comparable measure of loss is the compensating variation , which depends on Hicksian demand instead of Marshallian demand . In the context of a distortionary tax , the compensating variation is the minimum lump sum transfer that makes an individual indifferent between the lump sum transfer with tax and no lump sum transfer with no tax , the original situation . The deadweight loss can then be interpreted as the minimum lump sum . See also ( edit ) Tax choice References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Negative Externality '' . Retrieved February 11 , 2012 .

Rothschild , employed under Mark Hanna , who quickly entices him with the sex and drugs fueled stockbroker culture and passes on his idea that a stockbroker 's only goal is to make money for himself . Jordan soon finds his career terminated following Black Monday and takes a job at a boiler room brokerage firm on Long Island that specializes in penny stocks . Thanks to his aggressive pitching style and the high commissions , Jordan makes a small fortune . Jordan befriends his neighbor , Donnie Azoff , and the two found their own company . They recruit several of Jordan 's friends , whom Jordan trains in the art of the `` hard sell '' . The basic method of the firm is a pump and dump scam . To cloak this , Jordan gives the firm the respectable - sounding name of Stratton Oakmont . After an exposé in Forbes , hundreds of ambitious young financiers flock to his company . Jordan becomes immensely successful and slides into a decadent lifestyle of prostitutes and drugs . He has an affair with a woman named Naomi Lapaglia . When his wife finds out , Jordan divorces her and marries Naomi . Meanwhile , the SEC and the FBI begin investigating Stratton Oakmont . Jordan illegally makes $22 million in three hours upon securing the IPO of Steve Madden . This brings him and his firm further to the attention of the FBI . To hide his money , Jordan opens a Swiss bank account with corrupt banker Jean - Jacques Saurel in the name of Naomi 's Aunt Emma , who is a British national and thus outside the reach of American authorities . He uses the wife and in - laws of his friend Brad Bodnick , who have European passports , to smuggle the cash into Switzerland . Donnie gets into a public brawl with Brad , and , while Donnie escapes , Brad is arrested . Jordan learns from his private investigator that the FBI is wiretapping his phones . Fearing for his son , Jordan 's father advises him to leave Stratton Oakmont and lie low while Jordan 's lawyer negotiates a deal to keep him out of prison . Jordan , however , can not bear to quit and talks himself into staying in the middle of his farewell speech . Jordan , Donnie , and their wives are on a yacht trip to Italy when they learn that Aunt Emma has died of a heart attack . Jordan decides to travel to Switzerland immediately to settle the bank account . To bypass border controls , he orders his yacht captain to sail to Monaco , but the ship is capsized in a storm . After their rescue , the plane sent to take them to Geneva is destroyed when a seagull flies into the engine . Jordan takes this as a sign from God and decides to sober up . Two years later , the FBI arrests Jordan because Saurel , arrested in Florida on an unrelated charge , has informed the FBI on Jordan . Since the evidence against him is overwhelming , Jordan agrees to gather evidence on his colleagues in exchange for leniency . Now fed up with Jordan 's lifestyle , Naomi tells Jordan she is divorcing him and wants full custody of their children . Jordan loses his temper and tries to run off with his daughter Skylar in his car , but he ends up crashing in the driveway . The next morning , Jordan wears a wire to work but slips a note to Donnie warning him . Donnie keeps the note and rats out on Jordan to the FBI . Jordan is arrested for breaching his co-operation deal . The FBI raids and shuts down Stratton Oakmont . Despite his breach , Jordan receives a reduced sentence for his testimony and serves three years in a minimum security prison . After his release , Jordan makes a living hosting seminars on sales technique . Cast ( edit ) Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort Jonah Hill as Donnie Azoff Margot Robbie as Naomi Lapaglia Kyle Chandler as Patrick Denham Rob Reiner as Max Belfort Jon Bernthal as Brad Bodnick Matthew McConaughey as Mark Hanna Jon Favreau as Manny Riskin Jean Dujardin as Jean - Jacques Saurel Joanna Lumley as Aunt Emma Cristin Milioti as Teresa Petrillo Christine Ebersole as Leah Belfort Shea Whigham as Captain Ted Beecham Katarina Čas as Chantalle Bodnick P.J. Byrne as Nicky Koskoff Kenneth Choi as Chester Ming Brian Sacca as Robbie Feinberg Henry Zebrowski as Alden Kupferberg Ethan Suplee as Toby Welch Jake Hoffman as Steve Madden Mackenzie Meehan as Hildy Azoff Bo Dietl as himself Jordan Belfort as Auckland Straight Line Host Production ( edit ) Leonardo DiCaprio attending the film 's London premiere in January 2014 Development ( edit ) In 2007 , Leonardo DiCaprio / Warner Bros. won a bidding war against Brad Pitt / Paramount Pictures for the rights to Jordan Belfort 's memoir The Wolf of Wall Street , and Martin Scorsese was considered to direct the film . During pre-production , Scorsese worked on the film 's script before working on Shutter Island . He describes having `` wasted five months of ( his ) life '' without getting a green light on production dates by the Warner Bros. studio . Jordan Belfort made $1 million on the movie rights . In 2010 , Warner Bros. had offered Ridley Scott to direct the film , with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the male lead , but the studio eventually dumped the project . In 2012 , a green light was given by the independent company Red Granite Pictures allowing no restrictions to the content development . Scorsese knew that there were no limits to the content that he would produce and therefore came back on board , resulting in an R rating . Red Granite Pictures also asked Paramount Pictures to distribute the film ; Paramount Pictures agreed to distribute the film in North America and Japan , but passed on the rest of the international market . The FBI has issued subpoenas to several past and present employees of Red Granite Pictures in regards to allegations that US $155 million was diverted from the Malaysian wealth fund 1MDB to help finance The Wolf of Wall Street . This relates to the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal . A civil lawsuit initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice has sought to claim `` any rights to profits , royalties and distribution proceeds '' from The Wolf of Wall Street . To settle the civil lawsuit , Red Granite Pictures has agreed to pay US $60 million to the U.S. government . In the film , most of the real - life characters ' names have been changed from Belfort 's original memoir . Donnie Azoff is based on Danny Porush . The name was changed after Porush threatened to sue the filmmakers . Porush maintains that much of the film was fictional and that Donnie Azoff was not in fact an accurate depiction of him . The FBI agent known as Patrick Denham is the stand - in for real - life Gregory Coleman , and lawyer Manny Riskin is based on Ira Sorkin . Belfort 's first wife Denise Lombardo is renamed Teresa Petrillo , while second wife Nadine Caridi became Naomi Lapaglia on - screen . In contrast , Mark Hanna 's name remains the same as the LF Rothschild stockbroker who , like Belfort , was convicted of fraud and served time in prison . Belfort 's parents Max and Leah Belfort 's names remained the same for the film . The role of Aunt Emma was initially offered to Julie Andrews , who refused it as she was recovering from an ankle injury , and she was replaced by Joanna Lumley . In January 2014 , Jonah Hill revealed in an interview with Howard Stern that he made only $60,000 on the film ( the lowest possible SAG - AFTRA rate for his amount of work ) , while his co-star Leonardo DiCaprio ( who also produced ) received $10 million . Hill did n't care about his settlement though , and wanted to play Donnie Azoff so badly that he was willing to do whatever it took to get the part as it was his dream to be in a Scorsese film . Filming ( edit ) Filming began on August 8 , 2012 , in New York . Jonah Hill announced that his first day of shooting was September 4 , 2012 . Filming also took place in Closter , New Jersey and Harrison , New York . In January 2013 , additional scenes were shot at a set built in an abandoned office building in Ardsley , New York . Scenes at the beach house were filmed in Sands Point , New York . Scorsese 's longtime editor Thelma Schoonmaker stated that the film would be shot digitally instead of on film . Scorsese had been a proponent of shooting on film but decided to shoot Hugo digitally because it was being photographed in 3D ; however , The Wolf of Wall Street was originally planned to be shot digitally despite being filmed in 2D . Schoonmaker expressed her disappointment with the decision : `` It would appear that we 've lost the battle . I think Marty just feels it 's unfortunately over , and there 's been no bigger champion of film than him . '' After extensive comparison tests during pre-production , eventually the majority of the film was shot on film stock while scenes that used green screen effects or low light were shot with the digital Arri Alexa . The film contains 400 -- 450 VFX shots . Use of animals ( edit ) The Wolf of Wall Street uses animals including a chimpanzee , a lion , a snake , a fish , and dogs . The chimpanzee and the lion were provided by the Big Cat Habitat wildlife sanctuary in Sarasota County , Florida . The four - year - old chimpanzee Chance spent time with actor Leonardo DiCaprio and learned to roller skate over the course of three weeks . The sanctuary also provided a lion named Handsome because the film 's trading company used a lion for its symbol . Danny Porush , Jordan Belfort 's real - life partner , denied that there were any animals in the office , although he admitted to eating an employee 's goldfish . In December 2013 , before the film 's premiere , the organization Friends of Animals criticized the use of the chimpanzee and organized a boycott of the film . Variety reported , `` Friends of Animals thinks the chimp ... suffered irreversible psychological damage after being forced to act . '' The Guardian said , `` Criticism of The Wolf of Wall Street 's use of a chimpanzee arrives as Hollywood comes under ever - increasing scrutiny for its employment of animals on screen , '' referring to a November 2013 report in The Hollywood Reporter that was critical of the American Humane Association 's treatment of animals in films . PETA also launched a campaign to highlight mistreatment of ape `` actors '' and to petition for DiCaprio not to work with great apes . Release ( edit ) Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese in Paris at the film 's French premiere , December 2013 . The Wolf of Wall Street premiered at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City on December 17 , 2013 , followed by a wide release on December 25 , 2013 . It was previously slated to be released on November 15 , 2013 , but the date was pushed back after film cuts were made to reduce the run time . On October 22 , 2013 , it was reported that the film was set for a Christmas 2013 release . Paramount officially confirmed the Christmas Day 2013 release date on October 29 , 2013 , with a running time of 165 minutes . On November 25 , 2013 , the length was announced to be 179 minutes . It was officially rated R for `` sequences of strong sexual content , graphic nudity , drug use and language throughout , and for some violence '' . Scorsese had to edit sexual content and nudity to avoid an NC - 17 rating . By different counts , the film contains between 506 and 569 uses of the word `` fuck '' , and currently holds the record for the most uses of the word in a mainstream non-documentary film . The film is banned in Malaysia , Nepal , Zimbabwe , and Kenya because of its scenes depicting sex , drugs and excessive use of swear words , and additional scenes have been cut in the versions playing in India . In Singapore , after cuts were made to an orgy scene as well as some religiously profane or denigrating language , the film was passed R21 . The film marks a change in film history when Paramount became the first major studio to distribute movies to theaters in digital format , eliminating 35mm film entirely . Anchorman 2 : The Legend Continues was the last Paramount production to include a 35mm film version , while The Wolf of Wall Street was the first major movie distributed entirely digitally . Box Office ( edit ) The Wolf of Wall Street grossed $116.9 million in North America and $275.1 million internationally , for a total gross of $392 million , making it Scorsese 's highest - grossing film worldwide . In North America , the film opened at number five in its first weekend , with $18.4 million in 3,387 theaters , behind The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug , Frozen , Anchorman 2 : The Legend Continues , and American Hustle . In Australia , it is the highest grossing R - rated film , earning $12.96 million . File sharing ( edit ) According to copyright infringement tracking site Excipio , the film was the most illegally downloaded film of 2014 , as it was shared over 30 million times via torrent sites . Home media ( edit ) The Wolf of Wall Street was released on DVD and Blu - ray on March 25 , 2014 . On January 27 , 2014 , it was revealed that a four - hour director 's cut would be attached to the home release . It was later revealed by Paramount Pictures and Red Granite Pictures that the home release would feature only the theatrical release . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The Wolf of Wall Street received positive reviews , with critics praising DiCaprio and Hill 's performances , Scorsese 's direction , and Winter 's screenplay . On Rotten Tomatoes , the film holds an approval rating of 78 % based on 267 reviews , with an average rating of 7.8 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Funny , self - referential , and irreverent to a fault , The Wolf of Wall Street finds Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio at their most infectiously dynamic . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 75 out of 100 , based on 47 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Peter Travers of Rolling Stone magazine named The Wolf of Wall Street as the third best film of 2013 , behind 12 Years a Slave and Gravity at numbers one and two , respectively . The movie was chosen as one of the top ten films of the year by the American Film Institute . Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said `` it is the best and most enjoyable American film to be released this year . '' The Chicago Sun - Times 's Richard Roeper gave the film a `` B + '' score , saying the film was `` good , not great Scorsese '' . Dana Stevens , a member of the New York Film Critics Circle , wrote that the movie did not work for her after labeling the film `` Epic in size , claustrophobically narrow in scope . '' According to Marshall Fine of The Huffington Post the story `` wants us to be interested in characters who are dull people to start with , made duller by their delusions of being interesting because they are high . '' Some critics viewed the movie as an irresponsible glorification rather than a satirical takedown . DiCaprio responded that in his opinion the film does not glorify the excessive lifestyle it depicts . In 2015 , the film was ranked # 78 on the BBC 's 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century list . In June 2017 , Richard Brody of The New Yorker named The Wolf of Wall Street as the 2nd best film of the 21st century so far , behind Jean - Luc Godard 's In Praise of Love ( 2001 ) .

The Los Angeles Times argues that the film attracted conservative viewers by depicting a more moral tone in its marketing than the film itself depicted . Christina McDowell , daughter of Tom Prousalis , who worked closely with the real - life Belfort at Stratton Oakmont , wrote an open letter addressing Scorsese , DiCaprio , and Belfort himself , criticizing the film for insufficiently portraying the victims of the financial crimes created by Stratton Oakmont , for disregarding the damage that was done to her family as a result , and for giving celebrity to persons ( Belfort and his partners , including her father ) who do not deserve it . Steven Perlberg of Business Insider saw an advance screening of the film at a Regal Cinemas near the Goldman Sachs building , with an audience of financial workers . Perlberg reported cheers from the audience at what he considered to be all the wrong moments -- `` When Belfort -- a drug addict attempting to remain sober -- rips up a couch cushion to get to his secret coke stash , there were cheers . '' The former Assistant United States Attorney who prosecuted the real Belfort criticized both the movie and the book on which it is based . He said he believes some of Belfort 's claims were `` invented '' , as for instance `` ( Belfort ) aggrandized his importance and reverence for him by others at his firm . '' He strongly criticizes the film for not depicting the `` thousands of ( scam ) victims who lost hundreds of millions of dollars , '' not accepting the filmmakers ' argument that it would have detracted attention from the wrongdoers . Furthermore , he deplores the ending -- `` beyond an insult '' to his victims -- in which the real Belfort appears , while showing `` a large sign advertising the name of Mr. Belfort 's real motivational speaking company , '' and a positive depiction of Belfort uttering `` variants of the same falsehoods he trained others to use against his victims . '' Accolades ( edit ) Main article : List of accolades received by The Wolf of Wall Street ( 2013 film ) The film was nominated for five Academy Awards : Best Picture , Best Director for Scorsese , Best Adapted Screenplay for Winter , Best Actor for DiCaprio , and Best Supporting Actor for Hill .

The song was produced by Griffin Boice . This song is the one of the few songs by Hollywood Undead to feature a member other than Danny or Deuce as the clean vocalist . Charlie Scene performs the chorus of `` Bullet , '' in addition to `` Rain '' from Notes from the Underground . The song has received positive reviews from critics due to its cheerful tone and uptempo beat that directly contrast its dark lyrics about suicide and self - harm . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background and development 2 Composition and lyrics 3 Remix contest 4 Critical reception 5 Credits and personnel 6 References 7 External links Background and development ( edit ) `` Bullet '' was written by Lewis Edwards . The song contains verses by Terrell and Ragan , and a b - section and chorus sung by Terrell . The song was produced , recorded , and mixed by Griffin Boice at the Beat Suite in Hollywood , California . Composition and lyrics ( edit ) The acoustic guitar pattern repeats throughout the intro and outro , the verse , the pre-chorus and the chorus in a pattern of intro - verse - pre chorus - chorus - verse - pre chorus - outro , with the chord progression being E-B-C # m-A . The chord progression during the pre-chorus is G # m-F # m-E-D # m-C-B , with every chord following a two strum pattern , with the exceptions of C and B , which both follow an eight strum pattern . The lyrics detail a teenage male 's trouble with attempted ( or successful ) suicide . The chorus , which the song opens with , implies past attempts at suicide for the protagonist : `` My legs are dangling off the edge , the bottom of the bottle is my only friend . I think I 'll slit my wrist again , and I 'm gone , gone , gone , gone ! My legs are dangling off the edge , a stomach full of pills did n't work again . I put a bullet in my head , and I 'm gone , gone , gone , gone ! '' The protagonist continues in the verses to describe the decomposition of his life , stating that his `` two best friends '' are `` a bottle of pills '' and `` a bottle of Gin '' . We then learn he is at the top of a twenty story building , and that the polishing of a bottle is `` pushing ( me ) '' off and he describes how asphalt has never `` looked so soft '' . The protagonist begins to express concern that his mother found his suicide note and had called the police . He starts realising he needs to move fast , as he hears `` sirens and they 're off in the distance '' and that he 's `` more scarred than my wrist is '' . He states that he 's going to purchase a suit , because `` when you go to meet God ya know you wan na look nice . '' The pre-chorus states that `` So if I survive then I 'll see you tomorrow '' and the chorus plays again . Johnny 3 Tears takes the second verse from a third - person point of view of another young man who had an abusive family life . The young man 's father had apparently abandoned him , which left his mother guilt - struck , and he had gone astray in a way that is not specified . It is , however , stated that he `` Climbed to the roof to see if ( you ) could fly '' . This ends the verse , and goes into the pre-chorus and chorus . After the chorus , Petra Christensen sings the outro stated by J - Dog in a Hollywood Undead live cast in January promoting the release for the band 's latest album . Remix contest ( edit ) The band has hosted a remix contest for the songs `` Bullet '' and `` Le Deux '' . Bullet 's remix is hosted on Indaba Music and is chosen by voting majority . One of the top five voted remixes will be picked by the band themselves , and will receive the grand prize of a Cakewalk SONAR X1 Producer , a Cakewalk Z3TA + 2 virtual instrument , and a Roland audio interface . The remix will also be featured on an upcoming official remix EP . Five honorable mentions from the top ten remixes will be sent a Hollywood Undead album signed by the members . Submissions for the contest are due by August 24 , 2011 . Critical reception ( edit ) The song has received positive reviews from music critics . Rick Florino of Artist Direct had a list of ten reasons readers needed American Tragedy , with number three being the track `` Bullet '' . Florino explains that `` Hollywood Undead snap from faint acoustic guitar into cinematic rhyming about suicide . It 's as infectious as it is intense . '' He states that the ending refrain featuring a little girl `` is utterly powerful . '' He also stated that `` Bullet '' is `` the kind of song that could save some kid in the crowd , '' and closed his review stating that the song is `` heart - wrenching genius . '' In his official review , Florino again referenced `` Bullet '' stating it was one of `` two moments that make ( American Tragedy ) a classic , '' stating that `` After an acoustic intro , the song tells a potent and poignant tale of longing for suicide . However , it 's the sunniest and catchiest tune on American Tragedy '' and that the band 's genius lies `` in that dangerous space between unforgettable and unsettling . '' He compared Johnny 3 Tears ' verse to being as soulful as Jonathan Davis of Korn . The album as a whole garnered five out of five stars . Jeremy Borjon of Revolver described the song as `` a disturbingly upbeat song about a man attempting suicide '' and included it with several other songs as high points of the album . He gave the album four out of five stars . Richard Solomon of The Minaret stated that the song was in a part of the album that `` stayed strong and continued to please '' , and analyzed it as `` an intense song about suicide , '' and stated that `` ( t ) he lyrics are probably more depressing than most . The twist ? It has a melody happier than many songs , an upbeat and almost peppy tempo that 's completely at odds with lyrics like , ' I never bought a suit before in my life , but when you go to meet God you know you wan na look nice ! ' and , ' A stomach full of pills did n't work again . I put a bullet in my head , and I 'm gone , gone , gone , gone ! ' '' He later analyzed that `` ( t ) he final verse is different and is sung by what sounds like a little girl and adds to the ' happy ' melody , but with the previous lyrics it just makes it even sadder , '' and stated that `` if ' Comin ' in Hot ' is a successor to ' No. 5 , ' then this song is the successor to ' ( sic ) My Black Dahlia . ' '' Solomon gave the album a positive review , granting four and a half out of five stars .

Child labour in India
Child labour in India - wikipedia Child labour in India Jump to : navigation , search Child labour in India and rest of the world , during 2003 in 10 -- 18 age group , per World Bank India with an estimated 11 % , is in green with 10 - 20 % incidence levels , along with countries in red ( 30 % -- 40 % ) and black ( 40 % - 100 % ) . Child labour is the practice of having children engage in economic activity , on a part - or full - time basis . The practice deprives children of their childhood , and is harmful to their physical and mental ( mind ) development . Poverty , lack of good schools and the growth of the informal economy are considered to be the key causes of child labour in India . Some other causes of Child Labour in India are cheap wages and accessibility to factories that can produce the maximum amount of goods for the lowest possible price . Corruption in the government of India also plays a major role in child labour because laws that should be enforced to prevent child labour are not because of the corrupt government . The 1998 national census of India estimated the total number of child labourers , aged 4 to 15 , to be at 12.6 million , out of a total child population of 253 million in the 5 to 14 age group . However , in 2009 -- 10 a nationwide survey found the prevalence of child labour had reduced to 4.98 million children ( or less than 2 % of the children in the 5 to 14 age group ) . The 2011 national census of India found the total number of child labourers , aged 5 -- 14 , to be at 4.35 million , and the total child population to be 259.64 million in that age group . The child labour problem is not unique to India ; worldwide , about 217 million children work , many full - time . As per the Child Labour ( Prohibition and Regulation ) Act , 1986 , amended in 2016 ( `` CLPR Act '' ) , a `` Child '' is defined as any person below the age of 14 and the CLPR Act prohibits employment of a Child in any employment including as a domestic help . It is a cognizable criminal offence to employ a Child for any work . Children between age of 14 and 18 are defined as `` Adolescent '' and the law allows Adolescent to be employed except in the listed hazardous occupation and processes which include mining , inflammable substance and explosives related work and any other hazardous process as per the Factories Act , 1948 . In 2001 , an estimated 1 % of all child workers , or about 120,000 children in India were in a hazardous job . Notably , the Constitution of India prohibits child labour in hazardous industries ( but not in non-hazardous industries ) as a Fundamental Right under Article 24 . UNICEF estimates that India with its larger population , has the highest number of labourers in the world under 14 years of age , while sub-Saharan African countries have the highest percentage of children who are deployed as child labourers . The International Labour Organisation estimates that agriculture , at 60 percent , is the largest employer of child labour in the world , while the United Nation 's Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates 70 % of child labour is deployed in agriculture and related activities . Outside of agriculture , child labour is observed in almost all informal sectors of the Indian economy . Companies including Gap , Primark , Monsanto have been criticised for child labour in their products . The companies claim they have strict policies against selling products made by underage children , but there are many links in a supply chain making it difficult to oversee them all . In 2011 , after three years of Primark 's effort , BBC acknowledged that its award - winning investigative journalism report of Indian child labour use by Primark was a fake . The BBC apologised to Primark , to Indian suppliers and all its viewers . Another company that has come under much scrutiny was Nike . Nike was under pressure to speak up about alleged sweatshops that harbored children that the company was exploiting to make their sneakers . Since then Nike has come out with a separate web page that specifically points out where they get there products from and where there products are manufactured . In December 2014 , the U.S. Department of Labor issued a List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor and India figured among 74 countries where a significant incidence of critical working conditions has been observed . Unlike any other country , 23 goods were attributed to India , the majority of which are produced by child labour in the manufacturing sector . In addition to the constitutional prohibition of hazardous child labour , various laws in India , such as the Juvenile Justice ( care and protection ) of Children Act - 2000 , and the Child Labour ( Prohibition and Abolition ) Act - 1986 provide a basis in law to identify , prosecute and stop child labour in India . Contents ( hide ) 1 Definition 2 Causes 3 Bonded child labour in India 4 Consequences of child labour 4.1 Diamond industry 4.2 Fireworks manufacture 4.3 Silk manufacture 4.4 Carpet weaving 4.5 Domestic labour 4.6 Mining 5 Initiatives against child labour in India 5.1 Non-governmental organisations 6 Demography of child labour 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Definition ( edit ) The term ' child labour ' , suggests ILO , is best defined as work that deprives children of their childhood , their potential and their dignity , and that is harmful to physical and mental development . It refers to work that is mentally , physically , socially or morally dangerous and harmful to children , or work whose schedule interferes with their ability to attend regular school , or work that affects in any manner their ability to focus during war and clubs and boutros , school or experience a healthy childhood . UNICEF defines child labour differently . A child , suggests UNICEF , is involved in child labour activities if between 5 and 11 years of age , he or she did at least one hour of economic activity or at least 28 hours of domestic work in a week , and in case of children between 12 and 14 years of age , he or she did at least 14 hours of economic activity or at least 42 hours of economic activity and domestic work per week . UNICEF in another report suggests , `` Children 's work needs to be seen as happening along a continuum , with destructive or exploitative work at one end and beneficial work -- promoting or enhancing children 's development without interfering with their schooling , recreation and rest -- at the other . And between these two poles are vast areas of work that need not negatively affect a child 's development . '' India 's Census 2001 office , defines child labour as participation of a child less than 17 years of age in any economically productive activity with or without compensation , wages or profit . Such participation could be physical or mental or both . This work includes part - time help or unpaid work on the farm , family enterprise or in any other economic activity such as cultivation and milk production for sale or domestic consumption . Indian government classifies child labourers into two groups : Main workers are those who work 6 months or more per year . And marginal child workers are those who work at any time during the year but less than 6 months in a year . Some child rights activists argue that child labour must include every child who is not in school because he or she is a hidden child worker . UNICEF , however , points out that India faces major shortages of schools , classrooms and teachers particularly in rural areas where 90 percent of child labour problem is observed . About 1 in 5 primary schools have just one teacher to teach students across all grades . After its independence from colonial rule , India has passed a number of constitutional protections and laws on child labour . The Constitution of India in the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy prohibits child labour below the age of 14 years in any factory or mine or castle or engaged in any other hazardous employment ( Article 24 ) . The constitution also envisioned that India shall , by 1960 , provide infrastructure and resources for free and compulsory education to all children of the age six to 14 years . ( Article 21 - A and Article 45 ) . India has a federal form of government , and labour being a subject in the Concurrent List , both the central and state governments can and have legislated on child labour . The major national legislative developments include the following : The Factories Act of 1948 : The Act prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory . The law also placed rules on who , when and how long can pre-adults aged 15 -- 18 years be employed in any factory . The Mines Act of 1952 : The Act prohibits the employment of children below 18 years of age in a mine . The Child and Adolescent Labour ( Prohibition and Regulation ) Act of 1986 : As per the Child Labour ( Prohibition and Regulation ) Act , 1986 , amended in 2016 ( `` CLPR Act '' ) , a `` Child '' is defined as any person below the age of 14 and the CLPR Act prohibits employment of a Child in any employment including as a domestic help ( except helping own family in non-hazardous occupations ) . It is a cognizable criminal offence to employ a Child for any work . Children between age of 14 and 18 are defined as `` Adolescent '' and the law allows Adolescent to be employed except in the listed hazardous occupation and processes which include mining , inflammable substance and explosives related work and any other hazardous process as per the Factories Act , 1948 . The Juvenile Justice ( Care and Protection ) of Children Act of 2015 : This law made it a crime , punishable with a prison term , for anyone to keep a child in bondage for the purpose of employment . The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act of 2009 : The law mandates free and compulsory education to all children aged 6 to 14 years . This legislation also mandated that 25 percent of seats in every private school must be allocated for children from disadvantaged groups and physically challenged children. ( It is not applied through ) India formulated a National Policy on Child Labour in 1987 . This Policy seeks to adopt a gradual & sequential approach with a focus on rehabilitation of children working in hazardous occupations . It envisioned strict enforcement of Indian laws on child labour combined with development programs to address the root causes of child labour such as poverty . In 1988 , this led to the National Child Labour Project ( NCLP ) initiative . This legal and development initiative continues , with a current central government funding of Rs. 6 billion , targeted solely to eliminate child labour in India . Despite these efforts , child labour remains a major challenge for India . No , child below age of 14 years shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or engaged in any hazardous employment Causes ( edit ) Children around an oil press , 1916 . For much of human history and across different cultures , children less than 17 years old have contributed to family welfare in a variety of ways . UNICEF suggests that poverty is the biggest cause of child labour . The report also notes that in rural and impoverished parts of developing and undeveloped parts of the world , children have no real and meaningful alternative . Schools and teachers are unavailable . Child labour is the unnatural result . A BBC report , similarly , concludes poverty and inadequate public education infrastructure are some of the causes of child labour in India . Between boys and girls , UNICEF finds girls are two times more likely to be out of school and working in a domestic role . Parents with limited resources , claims UNICEF , have to choose whose school costs and fees they can afford when a school is available . Educating girls tends to be a lower priority across the world , including India . Girls are also harassed or bullied at schools , sidelined by prejudice or poor curricula , according to UNICEF . Solely by virtue of their gender , therefore , many girls are kept from school or drop out , then provide child labour . The international labour organisation ( ILO ) and Spreading Smiles Through Education Organisation ( OSSE ) suggests poverty is the greatest single force driving children into the workplace . Income from a child 's work is felt to be crucial for his / her own survival or for that of the household . For some families , income from their children 's labour is between 25 and 40 % of the household income . According to a 2008 study by ILO , among the most important factors driving children to harmful labour is the lack of availability and quality of schooling . Many communities , particularly rural areas do not possess adequate school facilities . Even when schools are sometimes available , they are too far away , difficult to reach , unaffordable or the quality of education is so poor that parents wonder if going to school is really worthwhile . In government - run primary schools , even when children show up , government - paid teachers do not show up 25 % of the time . The 2008 ILO study suggests that illiteracy resulting from a child going to work , rather than a quality primary and secondary school , limits the child 's ability to get a basic educational grounding which would in normal situations enable them to acquire skills and to improve their prospects for a decent adult working life . An albeit older report published by UNICEF outlines the issues summarized by the ILO report . The UNICEF report claimed that while 90 % of child labour in India is in its rural areas , the availability and quality of schools is decrepit ; in rural areas of India , claims the old UNICEF report , about 50 % of government funded primary schools that exist do not have a building , 40 % lack a blackboard , few have books , and 97 % of funds for these publicly funded school have been budgeted by the government as salaries for the teacher and administrators . A 2012 Wall Street Journal article , reports while the enrollment in India 's school has dramatically increased in recent years to over 96 % of all children in the 6 -- 14 - year age group , the infrastructure in schools , aimed in part to reduce child labour , remains poor -- over 81,000 schools do not have a blackboard and about 42,000 government schools operate without a building with makeshift arrangements during monsoons and inclement weather . Biggeri and Mehrotra have studied the macroeconomic factors that encourage child labour . They focus their study on five Asian nations including India , Pakistan , Indonesia , Thailand and Philippines . They suggest that child labour is a serious problem in all five , but it is not a new problem . Macroeconomic causes encouraged widespread child labour across the world , over most of human history . They suggest that the causes for child labour include both the demand and the supply side . While poverty and unavailability of good schools explain the child labour supply side , they suggest that the growth of low paying informal economy rather than higher paying formal economy -- called organised economy in India -- is amongst the causes of the demand side . India has rigid labour laws and numerous regulations that prevent growth of organised sector where work protections are easier to monitor , and work more productive and higher paying . The unintended effect of Indian complex labour laws is the work has shifted to the unorganised , informal sector . As a result , after the unorganised agriculture sector which employs 60 % of child labour , it is the unorganised trade , unorganised assembly and unorganised retail work that is the largest employer of child labour . If macroeconomic factors and laws prevent growth of formal sector , the family owned informal sector grows , deploying low cost , easy to hire , easy to dismiss labour in form of child labour . Even in situations where children are going to school , claim Biggeri and Mehrotra , children engage in routine after - school home - based manufacturing and economic activity . Other scholars too suggest that inflexibility and structure of India 's labour market , size of informal economy , inability of industries to scale up and lack of modern manufacturing technologies are major macroeconomic factors affecting demand and acceptability of child labour . Cigno et al. suggest the government planned and implemented land redistribution programs in India , where poor families were given small plots of land with the idea of enabling economic independence , have had the unintended effect of increased child labour . They find that smallholder plots of land are labour - intensively farmed since small plots can not productively afford expensive farming equipment . In these cases , a means to increase output from the small plot has been to apply more labour , including child labour . Bonded child labour in India ( edit ) Main article : Debt bondage in India Bonded child labour is a system of forced , or partly forced , labour under which the child , or usually child 's parent enter into an agreement , oral or written , with a creditor . The child performs work as in - kind repayment of credit . In this 2005 ILO report , debt - bondage in India emerged during the colonial period , as a means of obtaining reliable cheap labour , with loan and land - lease relationships implemented during that era of Indian history . These were regionally called Hali , or Halwaha , or Jeura systems ; and was named by the colonial administration as the indentured labour system . These systems included bonded child labour . Over time , claims the ILO report , this traditional forms of long - duration relationships have declined . In 1977 , India passed legislation that prohibits solicitation or use of bonded labour by anyone , of anyone including children . Evidence of continuing bonded child labour continue . A report by the Special Rapporteur to India 's National Human Rights Commission , reported the discovery of 53 child labourers in 1996 in the state of Tamil Nadu during a surprise inspection . Each child or the parent had taken an advance of Rs. 10 , 0000 to 25 , 0000 . The children were made to work for 12 to 14 hours a day and received only Rs. 2 to 3 per day as wages . According to an ILO report , the extent of bonded child labour is difficult to determine , but estimates from various social activist groups range up to 350,000 in 2001 . Despite its legislation , prosecutors in India rarely use the Bonded Labour System ( Abolition ) Act of 1976 to prosecute those responsible . According to one report , the prosecutors have no direction from the central government that if a child is found to be underpaid , the case should be prosecuted not only under the Minimum Wages Act , 1948 and the Child Labour ( Prohibition & Regulation ) Act , 1986 , the case should include charges under the Bonded Labour Act of India . The few enforcement actions have had some unintended effects . While there has been a decrease in children working in factories because of enforcement and community vigilance committees , the report claims poverty still compels children and poor families to work . The factory lends money to whoever needs it , puts a loom in the person 's home , and then the family with children works out of their homes , bring finished product to pay interest and get some wages . The bonded child and family labour operations were moving out of small urban factories into rural homes . Consequences of child labour ( edit ) A young fruit seller in the streets of Kolkata . The presence of a large number of child labourers is regarded as a serious issue in terms of economic welfare . Children who work fail to get necessary education . They do not get the opportunity to develop physically , intellectually , emotionally and psychologically . In terms of the physical condition of children , children are not ready for long monotonous work because they become exhausted more quickly than adults . This reduces their physical conditions and makes the children more vulnerable to disease . Children in hazardous working conditions are even in worse condition . Children who work , instead of going to school , will remain illiterate which limits their ability to contribute to their own well being as well as to community they live in . Child labour has long term adverse effects for India . To keep an economy prospering , a vital criterion is to have an educated workforce equipped with relevant skills for the needs of the industries . The young labourers today , will be part of India 's human capital tomorrow . Child labour undoubtedly results in a trade - off with human capital accumulation . Child labour in India are employed with the majority ( 70 % ) in agriculture some in low - skilled labour - intensive sectors such as sari weaving or as domestic helpers , which require neither formal education nor training , but some in heavy industry such as coal mining . According to the International Labour Organisation ( ILO ) , there are tremendous economic benefits for developing nations by sending children to school instead of work . Without education , children do not gain the necessary skills such as English literacy and technical aptitude that will increase their productivity to enable them to secure higher - skilled jobs in future with higher wages that will lift them out of poverty . Diamond industry ( edit ) In the year 1999 , the International Labour Organisation co-published a report with Universal Alliance of Diamond Workers , a trade union . The ILO report claimed that child labour is prevalent in the Indian diamond industry . International Confederation of Free Trade Unions ( ICFTU ) in a separate 1997 press release observed that child labour continued to flourish in India 's diamond industry . Not everyone agreed with these claims . The South Gujarat Diamond Workers Association , another trade union , acknowledged child labour is present but it is not systematic , is less than 1 % and against local industry norms . Local diamond industry businessmen too downplayed these charges . According to the 1999 ILO paper , India annually cuts and polishes 70 percent of the world 's diamonds by weight , or 40 percent by value . Additionally , India contributes 95 percent of the emeralds , 85 percent of the rubies , and 65 percent of the sapphires worldwide . India processes these diamonds and gems using traditional labour - intensive methods . About 1.5 million people are employed in the diamond industry , mostly in the unorganised sector . The industry is fragmented into small units , each employing a few workers . The industry has not scaled up , organised , and big operators absent . The ILO paper claims that this is to avoid the complex labour laws of India . The export order is split , work is subcontracted through many middlemen , and most workers do not know the name of enterprise with the export order . In this environment , claims the ILO report , exact number of child labourers in India 's diamond and gem industry is unknown ; they estimate that child labourers in 1997 were between 10,000 and 20,000 out of 1.5 million total workers ( about 1 in 100 ) . The ILO report claims the causes for child labour include parents who send their children to work because they see education as expensive , education quality offering no real value , while artisan work in diamond and gem industry to be more remunerative as the child grows up . A more recent study from 2005 , conducted at 663 manufacturing units at 21 different locations in India 's diamond and gem industry , claims incidence rates of child labour have dropped to 0.31 % . Fireworks manufacture ( edit ) The town of Sivakasi in South India , known for its fireworks and matchsticks industries , has been reported to employ child labour in the production of fireworks . In 2011 , Sivakasi , Tamil Nadu was home to over 9,500 firecracker factories and produced almost 100 percent of total fireworks output in India . The fireworks industry employed about 150,000 people at an average of 15 employees per factory . Most of these were in unorganized sector , with a few registered and organized companies . In 1989 , Shubh Bhardwaj reported that child labour is present in India 's fireworks industry , and safety practices poor . Child labour is common in small shed operation in the unorganized sector . Only 4 companies scaled up and were in the organized sector with over 500 employees ; the larger companies did not employ children and had superior safety practices and resources . The child labour in small , unorganized sector operations suffered long working hours , low wages , unsafe conditions and tiring schedules . A more recent 2002 report by international labour organization ( ILO ) , claims that child labour is significant in Tamil Nadu 's fireworks , matches or incense sticks industries . However , these children do not work in the formal economy and corporate establishments that produce for export . The child labourers in manufacturing typically toil in supply chains producing for the domestic market of fireworks , matches or incense sticks . The ILO report claims that as the demand for these products has grown , the formal economy and corporate establishments have not expanded to meet the demand , rather home - based production operations have mushroomed . This has increased the potential of child labour . Such hidden operations make research and effective action difficult , suggests ILO . Silk manufacture ( edit ) A 2003 Human Rights Watch report , claims children as young as five years old are employed and work for up to 12 hours a day and six to seven days a week in silk industry . These children , claims , are bonded labour ; even though the government of India denies existence of bonded child labour , these silk industry child are easy to find in Karnataka , and Tamil Nadu , claims Children are forced to dip their hands in scalding water to palpate the cocoons and are often paid less than Rs 10 per day . In 2012 , a German news investigative report claimed that in states like Karnataka , non-governmental organisations had found up to 15,000 children working in the 1,100 silk factories in 1998 . In other places , thousands of bonded child labourers were present in 1995 . But today , after UNICEF and NGOs got involved , child labour figure is drastically lower , with the total estimated to be fewer than a thousand child labourers . The released children were back in school , claims the report . Carpet weaving ( edit ) Siddartha Kara finds about 20 % of carpets manufactured in India could involve child labour . He notes , `` determining the extent to which the hand - made carpet supply chain from India to the U.S.A. is tainted by slavery and child labour requires an additional exercise in supply chain tracing . '' Kara 's study also finds variation in child labour practices between ethnic and religious groups . Kara and colleagues report highest level of child labour in Muslim community carpet operations , and the presence of debt bonded child labourers in Muslim villages . Domestic labour ( edit ) Official estimates for child labour working as domestic labour and in restaurants is more than 2,500,000 while NGOs estimate the figure to be around 20 million . The Government of India expanded the coverage of The Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act and banned the employment of children as domestic workers and as workers in restaurants , dhabas , hotels , spas and resorts effective from 10 October 2006 . Mining ( edit ) Despite laws enacted in 1952 , prohibiting employment of people under the age of 18 in the mines primitive coal mines in Meghalaya using child labour were discovered and exposed by the international media in 2013 . A related area identified as problematic are the granite quarries . Initiatives against child labour in India ( edit ) In 1979 , the Indian government formed the Gurupadswamy Committee to find about child labour and means to tackle it . The Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act was enacted based on the recommendations of the committee in 1986 . A National Policy on Child Labour was formulated in 1987 to focus on rehabilitating children working in hazardous occupations . The Ministry of Labour and Employment had implemented around 100 industry - specific National Child Labour Projects to rehabilitate the child workers since 1988 . The Indian government has enacted a plethora of acts , laws , organizations , and institutions to combat the overwhelming prominence of child labour . Some of the initiatives include the Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act which is a piece of legislation that prohibits the engagement of children in certain employment ( mostly in dangerous conditions ) and regulates the conditions of work of children ; the National Policy on Child Labour seeks to adopt a sequential approach with focus on rehabilitation of children working in hazardous occupations & processes in the first instance ; and the Ministry of Labour and employment functions to provide and supervise a range of policies concerning child labor in India . Furthermore , as reported by Osment , NGOs such as Care India , Child Rights and You , Global March against Child Labour have been implemented to combat child labour through education and accessibility to resources . However , these efforts have been largely unsuccessful . Non-governmental organisations ( edit ) Many NGOs like Bachpan Bachao Andolan , ChildFund , CARE India , Talaash Association , Child Rights and You , Global march against child labour , RIDE India , Childline etc. have been working to eradicate child labour in India . Child labour has also been a subject of public interest litigations in Indian courts . Demography of child labour ( edit ) In India , millions of children are forced into child labor due to poverty , high illiteracy rates due to lack of education , unemployment , overpopulation , etc . As reported by Save the Children , children between the ages of 14 -- 17 years engage in hazardous work and account for 62.8 % of India 's child labour workforce in which more boys than girls ( 38.7 million vs. 8.8 million ) are forced into doing more hazardous work . Child labour used to be most ubiquitous in rural India in which 80 % of working children found work . Recently , however , child labor has relocated from rural areas to urbanized areas where the big cities are located . Larger cities provide more opportunity for work compared to smaller , rural areas . As reported by UNICEF , there has been a 54 % increase in child labor in urbanized areas for children between the ages of 5 - 14 . In addition , according to a Campaign Against Child Labour study , India has approximately 1 , 26 , 66,377 child laborers total . Uttar Pradesh , a state in northern India , has 19 , 27,997 child labourers . Dehli , the capital of India , has over 1 million child labourers . Other leading states with similar figures include Bihar , Rajasthan , Maharashtra , Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh . According to 2005 Government of India NSSO ( National Sample Survey Org . ) , child labour incidence rates in India is highest among Muslim Indians , about 40 % higher than Hindu Indians . Child labour was found to be present in other minority religions of India but at significantly lower rates . Across caste classification , the lowest caste Dalit children had child labour incidence rates of 2.8 % , statistically similar to the nationwide average of 2.74 % . Tribal populations , however , had higher child labour rates at 3.8 % . India has the highest number of children stunted because of malnutrition ( 48.2 million ) equivalent to Colombia 's population , according to Save the Children 's ' Stolen Childhoods ' report. 31 million of children are part of India 's workforce , the highest in the world .

when did child labour act passed in india
[ "As per the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986, amended in 2016 (\"CLPR Act\"), a \"Child\" is defined as any person below the age of 14 and the CLPR Act prohibits employment of a Child in any employment including as a domestic help. It is a cognizable criminal offence to employ a Child for any work. Children between age of 14 and 18 are defined as \"Adolescent\" and the law allows Adolescent to be employed except in the listed hazardous occupation and processes which include mining, inflammable substance and explosives related work and any other hazardous process as per the Factories Act, 1948.[8] In 2001, an estimated 1% of all child workers, or about 120,000 children in India were in a hazardous job.[9] Notably, the Constitution of India prohibits child labour in hazardous industries (but not in non-hazardous industries) as a Fundamental Right under Article 24.[10] UNICEF estimates that India with its larger population, has the highest number of labourers in the world under 14 years of age, while sub-Saharan African countries have the highest percentage of children who are deployed as child labourers.[11][12][13] The International Labour Organisation estimates that agriculture, at 60 percent, is the largest employer of child labour in the world,[14] while the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates 70% of child labour is deployed in agriculture and related activities.[15] Outside of agriculture, child labour is observed in almost all informal sectors of the Indian economy.[16][17][18]" ]

Television was considering a series reboot . John Stamos , who had an ownership stake in the show , headed up the attempt to get the series back into production . Creator Jeff Franklin returned as executive producer and showrunner with the collaboration of original executive producers Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett under their Miller - Boyett Productions label . In April 2015 , it was reported that Netflix was close to closing a deal to produce a 13 - episode sequel series tentatively titled Fuller House . A representative for Netflix said that the report was `` just a rumor '' . In response to the report , Bure tweeted , `` While you all ponder over whether the Fuller House show is true or is an April Fools joke , check out ( link to her upcoming TV movie ) '' , and Stamos tweeted , `` Believe none of what you hear , and only half of what you see . '' On April 20 , he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live ! , confirming the spin - off series had been green - lit by Netflix . On April 21 , Netflix confirmed the series was in development . In a parallel to the original series , Fuller House focuses on D.J. , who is a recently widowed mother of three boys , with her sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy moving in to help raise the boys . The series starts off with a special episode featuring a Tanner family reunion . Filming of the series began in July 2015 and lasted until November 2015 . In December 2015 , the series ' release date was revealed as February 26 , 2016 . Later in the month , Carly Rae Jepsen revealed she and Butch Walker recreated the Full House theme song , `` Everywhere You Look '' ( which was originally performed by Jesse Frederick , who co-wrote the song with Bennett Salvay ) , for the series as its opening theme . Casting ( edit ) In addition to Cameron Bure , Sweetin , and Barber reprising their roles , the other main roles went to Michael Campion , Elias Harger , and Soni Bringas , as their children : Jackson and Max Fuller , and Ramona Gibbler , respectively . It was disclosed that John Stamos would have a recurring role as Jesse Katsopolis and would also be producing . Other original main cast members who would be reprising their roles periodically are Lori Loughlin as Becky Katsopolis , Bob Saget as Danny Tanner , and Dave Coulier as Joey Gladstone . Dylan and Blake Tuomy - Wilhoit also make an appearance reprising their roles as Nicky and Alex Katsopolis , respectively . On April 19 , 2016 , it was announced Ashley Liao , who plays Ramona 's best friend , had been upgraded to a series regular . Additional cast members recurring regularly throughout the series include Juan Pablo Di Pace , playing Kimmy 's ex-husband , Fernando , and Scott Weinger , reprising the role of Steve Hale , D.J. 's high school boyfriend . Eva LaRue portrays Danny 's wife Teri , and Michael Sun Lee makes an appearance as the adult version of Nathan Nishiguchi 's character , Harry Takayama , who was Stephanie 's childhood friend . Shortly after announcing the spin - off series , it was uncertain whether Mary - Kate and Ashley Olsen , who shared the role of Michelle Tanner , would choose to participate . The Olsen twins ultimately rejected the offer because Ashley has not acted in years with no intentions to restart , and Mary - Kate initially considered the part but later declined as it was not feasible with her fashion career at the time . Subsequently , the producers decided to have Michelle reside in New York City , where she is highly focused on her fashion enterprise . By January 2016 , they asked the Olsen twins ' younger sister , Elizabeth , if she had any ambitions to take the part of Michelle , but she ultimately declined as well . Nonetheless , the producers are still prodding the Olsen twins to return and were confident that one of the twins would ultimately decide to reappear during the second season although this did not end up happening . In September 2016 , it was announced that the character Nelson will re-appear on Fuller House , with the character recast to be portrayed by Hal Sparks , who replaces Nelson 's original portrayer , Jason Marsden . Episodes ( edit ) Main article : List of Fuller House episodes Season Episodes Originally released 13 February 26 , 2016 ( 2016 - 02 - 26 ) 13 December 9 , 2016 ( 2016 - 12 - 09 ) 18 9 September 22 , 2017 ( 2017 - 09 - 22 ) 9 December 22 , 2017 ( 2017 - 12 - 22 ) Reception ( edit ) Reviews ( edit ) The first season of Fuller House received generally negative reviews , with most noting the series was very derivative of its source material and was oriented toward fans of the original show . On Rotten Tomatoes , the series has a rating of 32 % , based on 41 reviews , with an average rating of 4.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` After the initial dose of nostalgia , Fuller House has little to offer to anyone except the original series ' most diehard fans . '' On Metacritic the series has an average score of 35 out of 100 , based on 28 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . Dan Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter panned the show , calling it `` a mawkish , grating , broadly played chip off the Full House block . '' He also added that `` It 's doubtful that there will be a more painful 2016 TV episode than the Fuller House pilot , which takes an inexcusable 35 minutes to establish a plot that is just an inversion of the original Full House premise . '' David Weigand of the San Francisco Chronicle reacted similarly , writing : `` The episodes are predictable because they 're unoriginal and the writing is painful . The canned laughter is perhaps the greatest reminder of the ' good old days ' . If only all those recorded voices had something legitimate to laugh at . '' Maureen Ryan of Variety wrote that the show `` continually goes to the well of having cute kids mug for the camera as they practically yell their lines , and just a little of its self - congratulatory , blaring obviousness goes a long way . '' Some parents have complained that the reboot is not family friendly unlike its predecessor because it includes cursing and references to sex and drugs . In a more positive review , Verne Gay from Newsday wrote that the show is like `` Full House 2.0 '' and that while it has the `` same premise , same vibe , mostly same cast '' , it is `` a winner , strictly for fans . '' The second season saw more positive reviews . Jenny Varner of `` IGN '' gave the season a mixed 6.5 / 10 score . She noted that `` Fuller House Season 2 brings a fuller cast , a fuller plot , and a lot more cringe - worthy pop culture jokes . Love it or hate it , the staying power of this heartwarming Netflix staple is stronger than ever .

The Big Bang Theory - Wikipedia The Big Bang Theory Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the television series . For the scientific theory , see Big Bang . For other uses , see Big Bang Theory ( disambiguation ) . `` TBBT '' redirects here . For the Discovery Channel series , see The Big Brain Theory . The Big Bang Theory Genre Sitcom Created by Chuck Lorre Bill Prady Directed by Mark Cendrowski Starring Johnny Galecki Jim Parsons Kaley Cuoco Simon Helberg Kunal Nayyar Sara Gilbert Mayim Bialik Melissa Rauch Kevin Sussman Laura Spencer Theme music composer Barenaked Ladies Opening theme `` Big Bang Theory Theme '' Country of origin United States Original language ( s ) English No. of seasons 11 No. of episodes 255 ( list of episodes ) Production Executive producer ( s ) Chuck Lorre Steven Molaro Bill Prady Eric Kaplan Producer ( s ) Faye Oshima Belyeu Editor ( s ) Peter Chakos Camera setup Multi-camera Running time 18 -- 22 minutes Production company ( s ) Chuck Lorre Productions Warner Bros. Television Distributor Warner Bros. Television Distribution Release Original network CBS Picture format HDTV 1080i Audio format Dolby Digital 5.1 Original release September 24 , 2007 ( 2007 - 09 - 24 ) -- present ( present ) Chronology Related shows Young Sheldon External links Website The Big Bang Theory is an American television sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady , both of whom serve as executive producers on the series , along with Steven Molaro . All three also serve as head writers . The show premiered on CBS on September 24 , 2007 . In March 2017 , the series was renewed for two additional seasons , bringing its total to twelve , and running through the 2018 -- 19 television season . The eleventh season premiered on September 25 , 2017 . The show is primarily centered on five characters living in Pasadena , California : Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper , both physicists at Caltech , who share an apartment ; Penny , a waitress and aspiring actress who later becomes a pharmaceutical representative and who lives across the hall ; and Leonard and Sheldon 's similarly geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers , aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Raj Koothrappali . The geekiness and intellect of the four men are contrasted for comic effect with Penny 's social skills and common sense . Over time , supporting characters have been promoted to starring roles : Leslie Winkle , a physicist who dated Leonard and Howard ; neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler , who joins the group after being matched to Sheldon on a dating website ( and later becomes Sheldon 's girlfriend and fiancée ) ; Bernadette Rostenkowski , Howard 's wife ( previously his girlfriend ) , a microbiologist and former part - time waitress alongside Penny ; Stuart Bloom , the cash - strapped owner of the comic book store the characters often visit ; and Emily Sweeney , a dermatologist who dated Raj . The Big Bang Theory received mixed reviews from critics throughout its first season , but reception was more favorable in the second and third seasons . More recent seasons have seen a return to a lukewarm reception , with the show being criticised for a decline in comedic quality . The show was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series from 2011 to 2014 and won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series four times for Jim Parsons . It has so far won 7 Emmy awards from 46 nominations . Parsons also won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Comedy Series in 2011 . The series has so far won 56 awards from 216 nominations . It has also spawned a prequel series in 2017 based on Parsons ' character , Sheldon Cooper , named Young Sheldon which originally aired on CBS .

The show 's pilot episode premiered on September 24 , 2007 . This was the second pilot produced for the show . A different pilot was produced for the 2006 -- 07 television season but never aired . The structure of the original unaired pilot was substantially different from the series ' current form . The only characters retained in both pilots were Leonard ( Johnny Galecki ) and Sheldon ( Jim Parsons ) , who are named after Sheldon Leonard , a longtime figure in episodic television as producer , director and actor . Althea ( Vernee Watson ) was a character featured in both pilots and the first series episode . Two female leads were Canadian actress Amanda Walsh as Katie , `` a street - hardened , tough - as - nails woman with a vulnerable interior , '' and Iris Bahr as Gilda , a scientist colleague and friend of the male characters . Sheldon and Leonard meet Katie after she breaks up with a boyfriend and they invite her to share their apartment . Gilda is threatened by Katie 's presence . Test audiences reacted negatively to Katie , but they liked Sheldon and Leonard . The original pilot used Thomas Dolby 's hit `` She Blinded Me with Science '' as its theme song . Although the original pilot was not picked up , its creators were given an opportunity to retool it and produce a second pilot . They brought in the remaining cast and retooled the show to its final format . Katie was replaced by Penny ( Kaley Cuoco ) . The original unaired pilot never has officially been released , but it has circulated on the Internet . On the evolution of the show , Chuck Lorre said , `` We did the ' Big Bang Pilot ' about two and a half years ago , and it sucked ... but there were two remarkable things that worked perfectly , and that was Johnny and Jim . We rewrote the thing entirely and then we were blessed with Kaley and Simon and Kunal . '' As to whether the world will ever see the original pilot on a future DVD release , Lorre said , `` Wow , that would be something . We will see . Show your failures ... '' The first and second pilots of The Big Bang Theory were directed by James Burrows , who did not continue with the show . The reworked second pilot led to a 13 - episode order by CBS on May 14 , 2007 . Prior to its airing on CBS , the pilot episode was distributed on iTunes free of charge . The show premiered on September 24 , 2007 , and was picked up for a full 22 - episode season on October 19 , 2007 . The show is filmed in front of a live audience , and is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions . Production was halted on November 6 , 2007 , due to the Writers Guild of America strike . Nearly three months later , on February 4 , 2008 , the series was temporarily replaced by a short - lived sitcom , Welcome to the Captain . The series returned on March 17 , 2008 , in an earlier time slot and ultimately only 17 episodes were produced for the first season . After the strike ended , the show was picked up for a second season , airing in the 2008 -- 2009 season , premiering in the same time slot on September 22 , 2008 . With increasing ratings , the show received a two - year renewal through the 2010 -- 11 season in 2009 . In 2011 , the show was picked up for three more seasons . In March 2014 , the show was renewed again for three more years through the 2016 -- 17 season . This marks the second time the series has gained a three - year renewal . In March 2017 , the series was renewed for two additional seasons , bringing its total to 12 , and running through the 2018 -- 19 television season . David Saltzberg , a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California , Los Angeles , checks scripts and provides dialogue , mathematics equations , and diagrams used as props . According to executive producer / co-creator Bill Prady , `` We 're working on giving Sheldon an actual problem that he 's going to be working on throughout the ( first ) season so there 's actual progress to the boards ... We worked hard to get all the science right . '' Several of the actors in The Big Bang Theory previously worked together on the sitcom Roseanne , including Johnny Galecki , Sara Gilbert , Laurie Metcalf ( who plays Sheldon 's mother , Mary Cooper ) , and Meagen Fay ( who plays Bernadette 's mother ) . Additionally , Lorre was a writer on the series for several seasons . Theme song Single cover for `` Big Bang Theory Theme '' by Barenaked Ladies ( 2007 ) The Canadian alternative rock band Barenaked Ladies wrote and recorded the show 's theme song , which describes the history and formation of the universe and the Earth . Co-lead singer Ed Robertson was asked by Lorre and Prady to write a theme song for the show after the producers attended one of the band 's concerts in Los Angeles . By coincidence , Robertson had recently read Simon Singh 's book Big Bang , and at the concert improvised a freestyle rap about the origins of the universe . Lorre and Prady phoned him shortly thereafter and asked him to write the theme song . Having been asked to write songs for other films and shows , but ending up being rejected because producers favored songs by other artists , Robertson agreed to write the theme only after learning that Lorre and Prady had not asked anyone else . On October 9 , 2007 , a full - length ( 1 minute and 45 seconds ) version of the song was released commercially . Although some unofficial pages identify the song title as `` History of Everything , '' the cover art for the single identifies the title as `` Big Bang Theory Theme . '' A music video also was released via special features on The Complete Fourth Season DVD and Blu - ray set . The theme was included on the band 's greatest hits album , Hits from Yesterday & the Day Before , released on September 27 , 2011 . In September 2015 , TMZ uncovered court documents showing that Steven Page sued former bandmate Robertson over the song , alleging that he was promised 20 % of the proceeds , but that Robertson has kept that money entirely for himself . Actors ' salaries For the first three seasons , Galecki , Parsons , and Cuoco , the three main stars of the show , received at most $60,000 per episode . The salary for the three went up to $200,000 per episode for the fourth season . Their per - episode pay went up an additional $50,000 in each of the following three seasons , culminating in $350,000 per episode in the seventh season . In September 2013 , Bialik and Rauch renegotiated the contracts they held since they were introduced to the series in 2010 . On their old contracts , each was making $20,000 -- $30,000 per episode , while the new contracts doubled that , beginning at $60,000 per episode , increasing steadily to $100,000 per episode by the end of the contract , as well as adding another year for both . By season seven , Galecki , Parsons , and Cuoco were also receiving 0.25 % of the series ' back - end money . Before production began on the eighth season , the three plus Helberg and Nayyar , looked to renegotiate new contracts , with Galecki , Parsons , and Cuoco seeking around $1 million per episode , as well as more back - end money . Contracts were signed in the beginning of August 2014 , giving the three principal actors an estimated $1 million per episode for three years , with the possibility to extend for a fourth year . The deals also include larger pieces of the show , signing bonuses , production deals , and advances towards the back - end . Helberg and Nayyar were also able to renegotiate their contracts , giving them a per - episode pay in the `` mid-six - figure range '' , up from around $100,000 per episode they each received in years prior . The duo , who were looking to have salary parity with Parsons , Galecki , and Cuoco , signed their contracts after the studio and producers threatened to write the characters out of the series if a deal could not be reached before the start of production on season eight . By season 10 , Helberg and Nayyar reached the $1 million per episode parity with Parsons , Galecki , and Cuoco , due to a clause in their deals signed in 2014 . In March 2017 , the main cast members ( Galecki , Parsons , Cuoco , Helberg , and Nayyar ) took a 10 % pay cut to allow Bialik and Rauch an increase in their earnings . This put Galecki , Parsons , Cuoco , Helberg and Nayyar at $900,000 per episode , with Parsons , Galecki , and Helberg also receiving overall deals with Warner Bros. Television . By the end of April , Bialik and Rauch had signed deals to earn $500,000 per episode , each , with the deals also including a separate development component for both actors . The deal was an increase from the $175,000 -- $200,000 the duo had been making per episode .

Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper : Originally from Galveston , Texas , Sheldon was a child prodigy with an eidetic memory who began college at the age of eleven , and earned a PhD at age sixteen . He is a theoretical physicist researching quantum mechanics and string theory , and despite his IQ of 187 , he finds many routine aspects of social situations difficult to grasp . He is determined to have his own way , continually boasts of his intelligence , and has an extremely ritualized way of living . Despite these quirks , he begins a relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler , they are now engaged to marry . Kaley Cuoco as Penny : An aspiring actress from Omaha , Nebraska .

Mayim Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler ( guest star season 3 , starring seasons 4 -- ) : A woman selected by an online dating site as Sheldon 's perfect mate . Amy is from Glendale , CA .

The four main male characters are employed at Caltech and have science - related occupations , as do Bernadette and Amy . The characters frequently banter about scientific theories or news ( notably around the start of the show ) , and make science - related jokes . Science has also interfered with the characters ' romantic lives . Leslie breaks up with Leonard when he sides with Sheldon in his support for string theory rather than loop quantum gravity . When Leonard joins Sheldon , Raj , and Howard on a three - month Arctic research trip , it separates Leonard and Penny at a time when their relationship is budding . When Bernadette takes an interest in Leonard 's work , it makes both Penny and Howard envious and results in Howard confronting Leonard , and Penny asking Sheldon to teach her physics . Sheldon and Amy also briefly end their relationship after an argument over which of their fields is superior . David Saltzberg , who has a Ph. D. in physics , has served as the science consultant for the show for six seasons and attends every taping . While Saltzberg knows physics , he sometimes needs assistance from Mayim Bialik , who has a Ph. D. in neuroscience . Saltzberg sees early versions of scripts which need scientific information added to them , and he also points out where the writers , despite their knowledge of science , have made a mistake . He is usually not needed during a taping unless a lot of science , and especially the whiteboard , is involved . Science fiction Media Star Trek : The Next Generation actor Wil Wheaton has a recurring role as a fictional version of himself on the show . The four main male characters are all avid science fiction , fantasy , and comic book fans and memorabilia collectors . Star Trek in particular is frequently referenced and Sheldon identifies strongly with the character of Spock , so much so that when he is given a used napkin signed by Leonard Nimoy as a Christmas gift from Penny he is overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude ( `` I possess the DNA of Leonard Nimoy ? ! '' ) . Star Trek : The Original Series cast member George Takei has made a cameo , and Leonard Nimoy made a cameo as the voice of Sheldon 's vintage Mr. Spock action figure ( both cameos were in dream sequences ) . Star Trek : The Next Generation cast members Brent Spiner and LeVar Burton have had cameos as themselves , while Wil Wheaton has a recurring role as a fictionalized version of himself . They are also fans of Star Wars , Battlestar Galactica , and Doctor Who . In the episode `` The Ornithophobia Diffusion '' , when there is a delay in watching Star Wars on Blu - ray , Howard complains , `` If we do n't start soon , George Lucas is going to change it again '' ( referring to Lucas ' controversial alterations to the films ) and in `` The Hot Troll Deviation '' , Katee Sackhoff of Battlestar Galactica appeared as Howard 's fantasy dream girl . The characters have different tastes in franchises with Sheldon praising Firefly but disapproving of Leonard 's enjoyment of Babylon 5 . With regard to fantasy , the four make frequent references to The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter novels and movies . Additionally , Howard can speak Sindarin , one of the two Elvish languages from The Lord of the Rings . Wednesday night is the group 's designated `` comic book night '' because that is the day of the week when new comic books are released . The comic book store is run by fellow geek and recurring character Stuart . On a number of occasions , the group members have dressed up as pop culture characters , including The Flash , Aquaman , Frodo Baggins , Superman , Batman , Spock , The Doctor , Green Lantern , and Thor . As a consequence of losing a bet to Stuart and Wil Wheaton , the group members are forced to visit the comic book store dressed as Catwoman , Wonder Woman , Batgirl , and Supergirl . DC Comics announced that , to promote its comics , the company will sponsor Sheldon wearing Green Lantern T - shirts . Various games have been featured , as well as referenced , on the series ( e.g. World of Warcraft , Halo , Mario , Donkey Kong , etc . ) , including fictional games like Mystic Warlords of Ka'a ( which became a reality in 2011 ) and Rock - paper - scissors - lizard - Spock . Leonard and Penny 's relationship One of the recurring plot lines is the relationship between Leonard and Penny . Leonard becomes attracted to Penny in the pilot episode and his need to do favors for her is a frequent point of humor in the first season . Meanwhile , Penny dates a series of muscular , attractive , unintelligent , and insensitive jocks . Their first long - term relationship begins when Leonard returns from a three - month expedition to the North Pole in the season 3 premiere . However , when Leonard tells Penny that he loves her , she realizes she can not say it back . Both Leonard and Penny go on to date other people ; most notably with Leonard dating Raj 's sister Priya for much of season 4 . This relationship is jeopardized when Leonard comes to falsely believe that Raj has slept with Penny , and ultimately ends when Priya sleeps with a former boyfriend in `` The Good Guy Fluctuation '' . Penny , who admits to missing Leonard in `` The Roommate Transmogrification '' , accepts his request to renew their relationship in `` The Beta Test Initiation '' . After Penny suggests having sex in `` The Launch Acceleration '' , Leonard breaks the mood by proposing to her . Penny says `` no '' but does not break up with him . She stops a proposal a second time in `` The Tangible Affection Proof '' . In the sixth - season episode , `` The 43 Peculiarity '' , Penny finally tells Leonard that she loves him . Although they both feel jealousy when the other receives significant attention from the opposite sex , Penny is secure enough in their relationship to send him off on an exciting four - month expedition without worrying in `` The Bon Voyage Reaction '' . After Leonard returns , their relationship blossoms over the seventh season . In the penultimate episode `` The Gorilla Dissolution '' , Penny admits that they should marry and when Leonard realizes that she is serious , he proposes with a ring that he had been saving for years . Leonard and Penny decide to elope to Las Vegas in the season 8 finale , but beforehand , wanting no secrets , Leonard admits to kissing another woman , Mandy Chow ( Melissa Tang ) while on an expedition on the North Sea . Despite this , Leonard and Penny finally elope in the season 9 premiere . Sheldon and Amy 's relationship In the third - season finale , Raj and Howard search for a woman compatible with Sheldon and discover neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler . Like him , she has a history of social ineptitude and participates in online dating only to fulfill an agreement with her mother . This spawns a storyline in which Sheldon and Amy communicate daily while insisting to Leonard and Penny that they are not romantically involved . In `` The Agreement Dissection '' , Sheldon and Amy talk in her apartment after a night of dancing and she kisses him on the lips . Instead of getting annoyed , Sheldon says `` fascinating '' and later asks Amy to be his girlfriend in `` The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition '' . The same night he draws up `` The Relationship Agreement '' to verify the ground rules of him as her boyfriend and vice versa ( similar to his `` Roommate Agreement '' with Leonard ) . Amy agrees but later regrets not having had a lawyer read through it . In the episode `` The Launch Acceleration '' , Amy tries to use her `` neurobiology bag of tricks '' to increase the attraction between herself and Sheldon . In the final fifth - season episode `` The Countdown Reflection '' , Sheldon takes Amy 's hand as Howard is launched into space . In the sixth season first episode `` The Date Night Variable '' , after a dinner in which Sheldon fails to live up to this expectation , Amy gives Sheldon an ultimatum that their relationship is over unless he tells her something from his heart . Amy accepts Sheldon 's romantic speech even after learning that it is a line from the first Spider - Man movie . In `` The Cooper / Kripke Inversion '' Sheldon states that he has been working on his discomfort about physical contact and admits that `` it 's a possibility '' that he could one day have sex with Amy . Amy is revealed to have similar feelings in `` The Love Spell Potential '' . Sheldon explains that he never thought about intimacy with anyone before Amy . `` The Locomotive Manipulation '' is the first episode in which Sheldon initiates a kiss with Amy . Although initially done in a fit of sarcasm , he discovers that he enjoys the feeling . Consequently , Sheldon slowly starts to open up over the rest of the season , and starts a more intimate relationship with Amy . However , in the season finale , Sheldon leaves temporarily to cope with several changes and Amy becomes distraught . However , in `` The Prom Equivalency '' , he hides in his room to avoid going to a mock prom reenactment with her . In the resulting stand - off , Amy is about to confess that she loves Sheldon , but he surprises her by saying that he loves her too . This prompts Amy to have a panic attack . In the season eight finale , Sheldon and Amy get into a fight about commitment on their fifth anniversary . Amy tells Sheldon that she needs to think about the future of their relationship , unaware that Sheldon was about to propose to her . Season nine sees Sheldon harassing Amy about making up her mind until she breaks up with him . Both struggle with singlehood and trying to be friends for the next few weeks until they reunite in episode ten and have sex for the first time on Amy 's birthday . In the season eleven premiere , Sheldon proposes to Amy and she accepts . Soft Kitty Main article : Soft Kitty In the show , the song Soft Kitty was described by Sheldon as a song sung by his mother when he was ill . Its repeated use in the series popularized the song . A scene depicting the origin of the song in Sheldon 's childhood is depicted in an episode of Young Sheldon , which aired on February 1 , 2018 . It shows Sheldon 's mother Mary singing the song to her son , who is suffering with the flu . Howard 's mother In scenes set at Howard 's home , he interacts with his rarely - seen mother ( voiced by Carol Ann Susi until her death ) by shouting from room to room in the house . She similarly interacts with other characters in this manner . She reflects the Jewish mother stereotype in some ways , such as being overly controlling of Howard 's adult life and sometimes trying to make him feel guilty about causing her trouble . She is dependent on Howard , as she requires him to help her with her wig and makeup in the morning . Howard , in turn , is attached to his mother to the point where she still cuts his meat for him , takes him to the dentist , does his laundry and `` grounds '' him when he returns home after briefly moving out . Until Howard 's marriage to Bernadette in the fifth - season finale , Howard 's former living situation led Leonard 's psychiatrist mother to speculate that he may suffer from some type of pathology , and Sheldon to refer to their relationship as Oedipal . In season 8 , Howard 's mother dies in her sleep while in Florida , which devastates Howard and Stuart , who briefly lived with Mrs. Wolowitz . Vanity cards Like most shows created by Chuck Lorre , The Big Bang Theory ends by showing a vanity card written by Lorre after the credits , followed by the Warner Bros. Television closing logo . These cards are archived on Lorre 's website . Reception Critical reception Initial reception for the series was mixed . The review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 55 % approval rating for the first season based on reviews from 22 critics , with an average rating of 5.18 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus reads , `` The Big Bang Theory brings a new class of character to mainstream television , but much of the comedy feels formulaic and stiff . '' On Metacritic , the season holds a score of 57 out of 100 , based on reviews from 23 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Later seasons received more acclaim and in 2013 , TV Guide ranked the series # 52 on its list of the 60 Best Series of All Time . US standard Ratings The Big Bang Theory started off slowly in the ratings , failing to make the top 50 in its first season ( ranking 68th ) , and ranking 40th in its second season . When the third season premiered on September 21 , 2009 , however , The Big Bang Theory ranked as CBS 's highest - rated show of that evening in the adults 18 -- 49 demographic ( 4.6 / 10 ) along with a then - series - high 12.83 million viewers . After the first three seasons aired at different times on Monday nights , CBS moved the show to Thursdays at 8 : 00 ET for the 2010 -- 2011 schedule , to be in direct competition with NBC 's Comedy Block and Fox 's American Idol ( then the longest reigning leading primetime show on U.S. television from 2004 to 2011 ) . During its fourth season , it became television 's highest rated comedy , just barely beating out eight - year champ Two and a Half Men . However , in the age 18 -- 49 demographic ( the show 's target age range ) , it was the second highest rated comedy , behind ABC 's Modern Family . The fifth season opened with viewing figures of over 14 million . The sixth season boasts some of the highest - rated episodes for the show so far , with a then - new series high set with `` The Bakersfield Expedition '' , with 20 million viewers , a first for the series , which along with NCIS , made CBS the first network to have two scripted series reach that large an audience in the same week since 2007 . In the sixth season , the show became the highest rated and viewed scripted show in the 18 -- 49 demographic , trailing only the live regular NBC Sunday Night Football coverage , and was third in total viewers , trailing NCIS and Sunday Night Football . Season seven of the series opened strong , continuing the success gained in season six , with the second episode of the premiere , `` The Deception Verification '' , setting the new series high in viewers with 20.44 million . Showrunner Steve Molaro , who took over from Bill Prady with the sixth season , credits some of the show 's success to the sitcom 's exposure in off - network syndication , particularly on TBS , while Michael Schneider of TV Guide attributes it to the timeslot move two seasons earlier . Chuck Lorre and CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler also credit the success to the influence of Molaro , in particular the deepening exploration of the firmly established regular characters and their interpersonal relationships , such as the on - again , off - again relationship between Leonard and Penny . Throughout much of the 2012 -- 13 season , The Big Bang Theory placed first in all of syndication ratings , receiving formidable competition from only Judge Judy and Wheel of Fortune ( first - run syndication programs ) . By the end of the 2012 -- 13 television season , The Big Bang Theory had dethroned Judge Judy as the ratings leader in all of syndicated programming with 7.1 , Judy descending to second place for that season with a 7.0 . The Big Bang Theory did not place first in syndication ratings for the 2013 -- 14 television season , beaten out by Judge Judy .

From the third season , the show aired in two parts , being split so that it could air new episodes for longer throughout the year . This was due to rising ratings .

The fourth season 's second half began on June 30 , 2011 . Season 5 began airing on November 3 , 2011 , at 8 : 00 p.m. as part of E4 's Comedy Thursdays , acting as a lead - in to the channel 's newest comedy , Perfect Couples .

Season 6 premiered on November 15 , 2012 , with 1.89 million viewers and a further 469,000 on the time shift channel , bringing the total to 2.31 million , E4 's highest viewing ratings of 2012 , and the highest the channel had received since June 2011 .

On January 16 , 2011 , Parsons was awarded a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series -- Comedy or Musical , an award that was presented by co-star Kaley Cuoco . On September 18 , 2011 , Parsons was again awarded an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series . On January 9 , 2013 , the show won People 's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy for the second time . August 25 , 2014 , Jim Parsons was awarded an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series . The Big Bang Theory also won the 2016 People 's Choice Awards for under Favorite TV Show and Favorite Network TV Comedy with Jim Parsons winning Favorite Comedic TV Actor . On January 20 , 2016 , The Big Bang Theory also won the International category at the UK 's National Television Awards . Merchandise On March 16 , 2014 , a Lego Ideas project portraying the living room scene in Lego style with the main cast as mini-figures reached 10,000 supporters on the platform , which qualified it to be considered as an official set by the Lego Ideas review board . On November 7 , 2014 , Lego Ideas approved the design and began refining it . The set was released in August 2015 , with an exclusive pre-sale taking place at the San Diego Comic - Con International . Offshoots Plagiarized series Through the use of his vanity cards at the end of episodes , Lorre alleged that the program had been plagiarized by a show produced and aired in Belarus . Officially titled Теоретики ( The Theorists ) , the show features `` clones '' of the main characters , a similar opening sequence , and what appears to be a very close Russian translation of the scripts . Lorre expressed annoyance and described his inquiry with the Warner Bros. legal department about options . The television production company and station 's close relationship with the Belarus government was cited as the reason that any attempt to claim copyright infringement would be in vain because the company copying the episodes is operated by the government . However , no legal action was required to end production of the other show : as soon as it became known that the show was unlicensed , the actors quit and the producers canceled it . Dmitriy Tankovich ( who plays Leonard 's counterpart , `` Seva '' ) said in an interview , `` I 'm upset . At first , the actors were told all legal issues were resolved . We did n't know it was n't the case , so when the creators of The Big Bang Theory started talking about the show , I was embarrassed . I ca n't understand why our people first do , and then think . I consider this to be the rock bottom of my career . And I do n't want to take part in a stolen show '' . Spin - off series Main article : Young Sheldon In November 2016 , it was reported that CBS was in negotiations to create a spin - off of The Big Bang Theory centered on Sheldon as a young boy . The prequel series , described as `` a Malcolm in the Middle-esque single - camera family comedy '' would be executive - produced by Lorre and Molaro , with Prady expected to be involved in some capacity , and intended to air in the 2017 -- 18 season alongside The Big Bang Theory . The initial idea for the series came from Parsons , who passed it along to The Big Bang Theory producers . In early March 2017 , Iain Armitage was cast as the younger Sheldon , as well as Zoe Perry as his mother , Mary Cooper . Perry is the real - life daughter of Laurie Metcalf , who portrays Mary Cooper on The Big Bang Theory . On March 13 , 2017 , CBS ordered the spin - off Young Sheldon series . Jon Favreau directed and executive produced the pilot . Created by Lorre and Molaro , the series follows 9 - year - old Sheldon Cooper as he attends high school in East Texas . Alongside Armitage as 9 - year - old Sheldon Cooper and Perry as Mary Cooper , Lance Barber stars as George Cooper , Sheldon 's father ; Raegan Revord stars as Missy Cooper , Sheldon 's twin sister ; and Montana Jordan as George Cooper Jr. , Sheldon 's older brother . Jim Parsons reprises his role as adult Sheldon Cooper , as narrator for the series . Parsons , Lorre , Molaro and Todd Spiewak will also serve as executive producers on the series , for Chuck Lorre Productions , Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television . The show 's pilot episode premiered on September 25 , 2017 . Subsequent weekly episodes began airing on November 2 , 2017 following the broadcast of the 237th episode of The Big Bang Theory . Notes Jump up ^ During season 5 , episode 21 ( `` The Hawking Excitation '' ) , Raj states that Sheldon had begged three times before : he begged the Fox network not to cancel Firefly , he begged TNT to cancel Babylon 5 , and when he got food poisoning , he begged a deity he does not believe in to end his life quickly .

the original cast of the big bang theory
[ "\nJohnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter:[41] An experimental physicist with an IQ of 173, who received his PhD when he was 24 years old. Leonard is a nerd who loves video games, comic books, and Dungeons & Dragons. Leonard is the straight man of the series, in which he shares an apartment in Pasadena, CA, with Sheldon. Leonard is smitten with his new neighbor Penny when they first meet, and they eventually marry.\nJim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper:[42] Originally from Galveston, Texas, Sheldon was a child prodigy with an eidetic memory who began college at the age of eleven, and earned a PhD at age sixteen. He is a theoretical physicist researching quantum mechanics and string theory, and despite his IQ of 187, he finds many routine aspects of social situations difficult to grasp. He is determined to have his own way, continually boasts of his intelligence, and has an extremely ritualized way of living. Despite these quirks, he begins a relationship with Amy Farrah Fowler, they are now engaged to marry.\nKaley Cuoco as Penny:[43] An aspiring actress from Omaha, Nebraska. Penny moves in across the hall from Sheldon and Leonard. She waits and occasionally tends the bar at the Cheesecake Factory. After giving up hope of becoming a successful actress, Penny becomes a pharmaceutical sales representative. Penny becomes friends with Bernadette and Amy, and they often hang out in each other's apartments. Penny and Leonard form a relationship and eventually marry.\nSimon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz:[44] An aerospace engineer. Howard is Jewish and lives with his mother, Debbie (Carol Ann Susi). Unlike Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, Bernadette and Amy, Howard does not hold a doctorate. He goes into space, training as an astronaut and serving as a payload specialist. Howard initially fancies himself as a womanizer, but he later starts dating Bernadette, and they get engaged and married. Howard also has a tendency to waste money on toys and argues with Bernadette because of his oddly low income as an engineer and her high income as a pharmaceutical biochemist.\nKunal Nayyar as Rajesh Koothrappali:[45] A particle astrophysicist originally from New Delhi, India. Raj is initially unable to talk to women unless he drinks alcohol. Raj also has very feminine tastes and often takes on a stereotypical female role. Raj later dates Lucy (Kate Micucci), who also suffers from social anxiety, but it eventually ends; he later speaks to Penny without alcohol and thus overcomes his selective mutism.

It borders the state of Assam to the west , Arunachal Pradesh and Assam to the north , Myanmar to the east , and Manipur to the south . The state capital is Kohima , and the largest city is Dimapur . It has an area of 16,579 square kilometres ( 6,401 sq mi ) with a population of 1,980,602 per the 2011 Census of India , making it one of the smallest states of India . The state is inhabited by 16 tribes -- Angami , Ao , Chakhesang , Chang , Kachari , Khiamniungan , Konyak , Kuki , Lotha , Phom , Pochury , Rengma , Sangtam , Sumi , Yimchunger , and Zeme - Liangmai ( Zeliang ) Each tribe is unique in character with its own distinct customs , language and dress . Two threads common to all are language and religion . English is the official language , the language of education , and spoken by most residents . Nagaland is one of three states in India where the population is mostly Christian . Nagaland became the 16th state of India on 1 December 1963 . Agriculture is the most important economic activity and the principal crops include rice , corn , millets , pulses , tobacco , oilseeds , sugarcane , potatoes , and fibres . Other significant economic activity includes forestry , tourism , insurance , real estate , and miscellaneous cottage industries . The state has experienced insurgency , as well as inter-ethnic conflict since the 1950s . The violence and insecurity have long limited Nagaland 's economic development , because it had to commit its scarce resources to law , order , and security . The state is mostly mountainous except those areas bordering Assam valley which comprises 9 % of the total area of the state . Mount Saramati is the highest peak at 3,840 metres and its range forms a natural barrier between Nagaland and Burma . It lies between the parallels of 98 and 96 degrees east longitude and 26.6 and 27.4 degrees latitude north . The state is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna .

The ancient history of the Nagas is unclear . Tribes migrated at different times , each settling in the northeastern part of present India and establishing their respective sovereign mountain terrains and village - states . There are no records of whether they came from the northern Mongolian region , southeast Asia or southwest China , except that their origins are from the east of India and that historic records show the present - day Naga people settled before the arrival of the Ahoms in 1228 AD . The origin of the word ' Naga ' is also unclear . A popularly accepted , but controversial , view is that it originated from the Burmese word ' naka ' or ' naga ' , meaning people with earrings . Others suggest it means pierced noses . Both naka and naga are pronounced the same way in Burmese . The ancient name of Nagaland is ' Nakanchi ' or ' Naganchi ' , derived from the Naga language . Before the arrival of European colonialism in South Asia , there had been many wars , persecution and raids from Burma on Naga tribes , Meitei people and others in India 's northeast . The invaders came for `` head hunting '' and to seek wealth and captives from these tribes and ethnic groups . When the British inquired Burmese guides about the people living in northern Himalayas , they were told ' Naka ' . This was recorded as ' Naga ' and has been in use thereafter . British India ( edit ) A British India 1940 map showing Nagaland and Kohima City as part of Assam . With the arrival of the British East India Company in the early 19th century , followed by the British Raj , Britain expanded its domain over the whole of South Asia , including the Naga Hills . The first Europeans to enter the hills were Captains Jenkins and Pemberton in 1832 . The early contact with the Naga tribes were characterised by suspicion and conflict . The colonial interests in Assam , such as tea estates and other trading posts suffered from raids from tribes who were known for their bravery and `` head hunting '' practices . To put an end to these raids , the British troops recorded 10 military expeditions between 1839 and 1850 . In February 1851 , at the bloody battle at Kikrüma , people died on the British and the Kikrüma Naga tribe side ; in days after the battle , intertribal warfare followed that led to more bloodshed . After that war , the British adopted a policy of respect and non-interference with Naga tribes . Despite this , between 1851 and 1865 , Naga tribes continued to raid the British in Assam . The British India Government , fresh from the shocks of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , reviewed its governance structure throughout South Asia including its northeastern region . In 1866 , the British India administration established a post at Samaguting with the explicit goal of ending intertribal warfare and tribal raids on property and personnel . In 1869 , Captain Butler was appointed to lead and consolidate the British presence in the Nagaland Hills . In 1878 , the headquarters were transferred to Kohima -- creating a city that remains an important centre of administration , commerce and culture for Nagaland . On 4 October 1879 , G.H. Damant ( M.A.C.S ) , a British political agent , went to Khonoma with troops , where he was shot dead with 35 of his team . Kohima was subsequently attacked and the stockade looted . This violence led to a determined effort by the British Raj to return and respond . The subsequent defeat of Khonoma marked the end of serious and persistent hostility in the Naga Hills . Between 1880 and 1922 , the British administration consolidated their position over a large area of the Naga Hills and integrated it into its Assam operations . The British administration enforced the rupee as the currency for economic activity and a system of structured tribal government that was very different than historic social governance practices . These developments triggered profound social changes among the Naga people . In parallel , since the mid-19th century , Christian missionaries from the United States and Europe , stationed in India , reached into Nagaland and neighbouring states , converting Nagaland 's Naga tribes from animism to Christianity . World War II ( edit ) Kohima War Cemetery , Kohima , Nagaland Main article : Battle of Kohima See also : Battle of the Tennis Court In 1944 during World War II , the Indian National Army with the help of Japanese Army , led by Netaji Subhashchandra Bose , invaded through Burma and attempted to take India through Kohima . The population was evacuated . British India soldiers defended the area of Kohima and having lost many of their original force were relieved by British in June 1944 . Together the British and Indian troops successfully repelled the Japanese troops . The battle was fought from 4 April to 22 June 1944 from the town of Kohima , coordinated with action at Imphal , Manipur . The Indian National Army lost half their numbers , many through starvation , and were forced to withdraw through Burma . There is the World War II Cemetery , and the War Museum , in honour of those who lost their lives during World War II during the fighting between British Empire and Japanese troops . Nearly 4,000 British Empire troops lost their lives , along with 3,000 Japanese . Many of those who lost their lives were Naga people , particularly of Angami tribe . Near the memorial is the Kohima Cathedral , on Aradura hill , built with funds from the families and friends of deceased Japanese soldiers . Prayers are held in Kohima for peace and in memory of the fallen of both sides of the battle . Naga National wakening ( edit ) In 1929 , a Memorandum was submitted to the Simon Statutory Commission , requesting that the Nagas be exempt from reforms and new taxes proposed in British India , should be left alone to determine their own future . This Naga Memorandum stated , Before the British Government conquered our country in 1879 - 80 , we were living in a state of intermittent warfare with the Assamese of the Assam valley to the North and West of our country and Manipuris to the South . They never conquered us nor were we subjected to their rules . On the other hand , we were always a terror to these people . Our country within the administered area consists of more than eight regions quite different from one another , with quite different languages which can not be understood by each other , and there are more regions outside the administered area which are not known at present . We have no unity among us and it is only the British Government that is holding us together now . Our education is poor . ( ... ) Our country is poor and it does not pay for any administration . Therefore if it is continued to be placed under Reformed Scheme , we are afraid new and heavy taxes will have to be imposed on us , and when we can not pay , then all lands have to be sold and in long run we shall have no share in the land of our birth and life will not be worth living then . Though our land at present is within the British territory , Government have always recognised our private rights in it , but if we are forced to enter the council the majority of whose number is sure to belong to other districts , we also have much fear the introduction of foreign laws and customs to supersede our own customary laws which we now enjoy . -- Naga Memorandum to Simon Commission , British India , 1929 From 1929 to 1935 , the understanding of sovereignty by Nagas was ' self - rule ' based on traditional territorial definition . From 1935 to 1945 , Nagas were merely asking for autonomy within Assam . In response to the Naga memorandum to Simon Commission , the British House of Commons decreed that the Naga Hills ought to be kept outside the purview of the New Constitution ; the Government of India Act , 1935 and ordered Naga areas as Excluded Area ; meaning outside the administration of British India government . Thereafter from 1 April 1937 , it was brought under the direct administration of the Crown through Her Majesty 's representative ; the Governor of Assam province . The Naga Memorandum submitted by the Naga Club ( which later became the Naga National Council ) to the Simon Commission explicitly stated , ' to leave us alone to determine ourselves as in ancient times . ' In February 1946 , the Naga Club officially took shape into a unified Naga National Council in Wokha . In June 1946 , the Naga National Council submitted a four - point memorandum to officials discussing the independence of India from British colonial rule . The memorandum strongly protested against the grouping of Assam with Bengal and asserted that Naga Hills should be constitutionally included in an autonomous Assam , in a free India , with local autonomy , due safeguards and separate electorate for the Naga tribes . Jawaharlal Nehru replied to the memorandum and welcomed the Nagas to join the Union of India promising local autonomy and safeguards . On 9 April 1946 , the Naga National Council ( NNC ) submitted a memorandum to the British Cabinet Mission during its visit to Delhi . The crux of the memorandum stated that : `` Naga future would not be bound by any arbitrary decision of the British Government and no recommendation would be accepted without consultation '' . In June 1946 , the NNC submitted a four - point memorandum signed by T. Sakhrie ; the then Secretary of NNC , to the still - visiting British Cabinet Mission . The memorandum stated that : 1 . The NNC stands for the solidarity of all Naga tribes , including those in un-administered areas ; 2 . The Council protests against the grouping of Assam with Bengal ; 3 . The Naga Hills should be constitutionally included in an autonomous Assam , in a free India , with local autonomy and due safeguards for the interests of the Nagas ; 4 . The Naga tribes should have a separate electorate . On 1 August 1946 , Nehru , President of the Indian National Congress Party in his reply to the memorandum , appealed to the Nagas to join the Union of India promising local autonomy and safeguards in a wide - ranging areas of administration . It was after 1946 only that the Nagas had asserted their inalienable right to be a separate nation and an absolute right to live independently . Since Indian independence ( edit ) After the independence of India in 1947 , the area remained a part of the province of Assam . Nationalist activities arose amongst a section of the Nagas . Phizo - led Naga National Council and demanded a political union of their ancestral and native groups . The movement led to a series of violent incidents , that damaged government and civil infrastructure , attacked government officials and civilians . The union government sent the Indian Army in 1955 , to restore order . In 1957 , an agreement was reached between Naga leaders and the Indian government , creating a single separate region of the Naga Hills . The Tuensang frontier was united with this single political region , Naga Hills Tuensang Area ( NHTA ) , and it became a Union territory directly administered by the Central government with a large degree of autonomy . This was not satisfactory to the tribes , however , and agitation with violence increased across the state -- including attacks on army and government institutions , banks , as well as non-payment of taxes . In July 1960 , following discussion between Prime Minister Nehru and the leaders of the Naga People Convention ( NPC ) , a 16 - point agreement was arrived at whereby the Government of India recognised the formation of Nagaland as a full - fledged state within the Union of India . Nagaland statehood ( edit ) Accordingly , the territory was placed under the Nagaland Transitional Provisions Regulation , 1961 which provided for an Interim body consisting of 45 members to be elected by tribes according to the customs , traditions and usage of the respective tribes . Subsequently , Nagaland attained statehood with the enactment of the state of Nagaland Act in 1962 by the Parliament . The interim body was dissolved on 30 November 1963 and the state of Nagaland was formally inaugurated on 1 December 1963 and Kohima was declared as the state capital . After elections in January 1964 , the first democratically elected Nagaland Legislative Assembly was constituted on 11 February 1964 . Kohima War Cemetery The rebel activity continued , in the form of banditry and attacks , motivated more by tribal rivalry and personal vendetta than by political aspiration . Cease - fires were announced and negotiations continued , but this did little to stop the violence . In March 1975 , direct presidential rule was imposed by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on the state . In November 1975 , the leaders of largest rebellion groups agreed to lay down their arms and accept the Indian constitution , a small group did not agree and continued their insurgent activity . The Nagaland Baptist Church Council played an important role by initiating peace efforts in 1960s . This took concrete and positive shape during its Convention in early 1964 . It formed the Nagaland Peace Council in 1972 . However , these efforts have not completely ended the inter-factional violence . In 2012 , the state 's leaders approached Indian central government to seek a political means for a lasting peace within the state . Over the 5 - year period of 2009 to 2013 , between 0 and 11 civilians died per year in Nagaland from rebellion related activity ( or less than 1 death per 100,000 people ) , and between 3 and 55 militants deaths per year in inter-factional killings ( or between 0 and 3 deaths per 100,000 people ) . The world 's average annual death rate from intentional violence , in recent years , has been 7.9 per 100,000 people . The most recent Nagaland Legislative Assembly election took place on 27th February 2018 to elect the Members of the Legislative Assembly ( MLA ) in 59 out of the 60 Assembly Constituencies in the state . The scheduled election in Northern Angami II constituency did not take place as only incumbent MLA Neiphiu Rio was nominated and was therefore declared elected unopposed . A voter turnout of 75 % was observed in the 2018 election . Historical rituals ( edit ) Historically , Naga tribes celebrated two main rituals . These were feasting and head hunting . Head hunting ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Head hunting , a male activity , would involve separating men from their women before , during and after coming back from an expedition . The women , as a cultural practice , would encourage men to undertake head - hunting as a prerequisite to marriage . The men would go on an expedition against other tribes or neighbouring kingdoms , and kill to score number of heads they were able to hunt . A successful head hunter would be conferred a right to ornaments . The practice of head hunting was banned in 19th century India , and is no longer practised among Naga people . Feasts of Merit ( edit ) In Naga society , individuals were expected to find their place in the social hierarchy , and prestige was the key to maintaining or increasing social status . To achieve these goals a man , whatever his ascendancy , had to be a headhunter or great warrior , have many conquests among women sex , or complete a series of merit feasts . The Feasts of Merit reflected the splendor and celebration of Naga life . Only married men could give such Feasts , and his wife took a prominent and honoured place during the ritual which emphasised male - female co-operation and interdependence . His wife brewed the beer which he offered to the guests . The event displayed ceremonies and festivities organised by the sponsor . The Feast given by a wealthier tribes person would be more extravagant . He would typically invite everyone from the tribe . This event bestowed honour to the couple from the tribe . After the Feast , the tribe would give the couple rights to ornaments equally . Geography ( edit ) Forest around Pangti Village and Doyang Dam region Nagaland is largely a mountainous state . The Naga Hills rise from the Brahmaputra Valley in Assam to about 610 metres ( 2,000 ft ) and rise further to the southeast , as high as 1,800 metres ( 6,000 ft ) . Mount Saramati at an elevation of 3,841.00 metres ( 12,601.70 ft ) is the state 's highest peak ; this is where the Naga Hills merge with the Patkai Range in which form the boundary with Burma . Rivers such as the Doyang and Diphu to the north , the Barak river in the southwest , dissect the entire state . 20 percent of the total land area of the state is covered with wooded forest , a haven for flora and fauna . The evergreen tropical and the sub tropical forests are found in strategic pockets in the state . Climate ( edit ) Nagaland has a largely monsoon climate with high humidity levels . Annual rainfall averages around 1,800 -- 2,500 millimetres ( 70 -- 100 in ) , concentrated in the months of May to September . Temperatures range from 21 to 40 ° C ( 70 to 104 ° F ) . In winter , temperatures do not generally drop below 4 ° C ( 39 ° F ) , but frost is common at high elevations . The state enjoys a salubrious climate . Summer is the shortest season in the state that lasts for only a few months . The temperature during the summer season remains between 16 to 31 ° C ( 61 to 88 ° F ) . Winter makes an early arrival and bitter cold and dry weather strikes certain regions of the state . The maximum average temperature recorded in the winter season is 24 ° C ( 75 ° F ) . Strong northwest winds blow across the state during the months of February and March . Flora and fauna ( edit ) Blyth 's tragopan or the grey - bellied tragopan About a million Amur falcons roost in Nagaland . That is about 50 falcons per square kilometre . About one - sixth of Nagaland is covered by tropical and sub-tropical evergreen forests -- including palms , bamboo , rattan as well as timber and mahogany forests . While some forest areas have been cleared for jhum cultivation , many scrub forests , high grass , and reeds . Many staple Indian species live in Nagaland including dholes , pangolins , porcupines , elephants , leopards , bears , many species of monkeys , deer , and buffaloes thrive across the state 's forests . The great Indian hornbill is one of the most famous birds found in the state . Blyth 's tragopan , a vulnerable species of pheasant , is the state bird of Nagaland . It is sighted in Mount Japfü and Dzükou Valley of Kohima district , Satoi range in Zunheboto district and Pfütsero in Phek district . Of the mere 2500 tragopans sighted in the world , Dzükou valley is the natural habitat of more than 1,000 . The state is also known as the `` falcon capital of the world . '' Mithun ( a semi-domesticated gaur ) found only in the north - eastern states of India , is the state animal of Nagaland and has been adopted as the official seal of the Government of Nagaland . It is ritually the most valued species in the state . To conserve and protect this animal in the northeast , the National Research Centre on Mithun ( NRCM ) was established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research ( ICAR ) in 1988 . Kopou phool ( Rhynchostylis retusa ) , a type of orchid , in bloom . Nagaland is home to 396 species of orchids , belonging to 92 genera of which 54 having horticultural and medicinal economic importance . Kopou ( pictured right ) is also used for festive hairstyle decoration by women in India 's northeast . Rhododendron is the state flower . The state has at least four species which is endemic to the state . Geology ( edit ) Several preliminary studies indicate significant recoverable reserves of petroleum and natural gas . Limestone , marble and other decorative stone reserves are plentiful , and other as yet unexploited minerals include iron , nickel , cobalt and chromium . The view out from Kohima Urbanization ( edit ) The Nagaland population is largely rural with 71.14 % living in rural regions in 2011 . Census reports up to 1951 listed just one settlement in Nagaland as a town , the capital Kohima . The next two settlements , Dimapur and Mokokchung , were listed as towns from 1961 . Four more towns appeared in 1981 , Tuensang , Wokha , Mon and Zunheboto . The relatively slow rate of urbanization in Nagaland was described in the 1980s as being an effect of ( a ) the largely administrative roles of the towns , except for Dimapur which had a more diversified economy , and ( b ) a low level of mobility among the tribes of Nagaland , scheduled tribes constituting nearly 90 % of the population . Demographics ( edit ) Population ( edit ) The population of Nagaland is nearly two million people , of which 1.04 million are males and 0.95 million females . Among its districts , Dimapur has the largest population ( 379,769 ) , followed by Kohima ( 270,063 ) . The least populated district is Longleng ( 50,593 ) . 75 % of the population lives in the rural areas . As of 2013 , about 10 % of rural population is below the poverty line ; among the people living in urban areas 4.3 % of them are below the poverty line . show Population change Census Pop . % ± 1951 213,000 -- 1961 369,000 73.2 % 1971 516,000 39.8 % 1981 775,000 50.2 % 1991 1,210,000 56.1 % 1,990,000 64.5 % 2011 1,980,602 - 0.5 % Source : Census of India The state showed a population drop between 2001 census to 2011 census , the only state to show a population drop in the census . This has been attributed , by scholars , to incorrect counting in past censuses ; the 2011 census in Nagaland is considered most reliable so far . The largest urban agglomerations are centred upon Dimapur ( 122,834 ) and Kohima ( 115,283 ) . Other major towns ( and 2011 census populations ) are Tuensang ( 36,774 ) , Mokokchung ( 35,913 ) , Wokha ( 35,004 ) , Mon ( 26,328 ) , Chumukedima ( 25,885 ) , Zunheboto ( 22,633 ) , Kiphire ( 16,487 ) , Kuda ( 16,108 ) , Kohima Village ( 15,734 ) , Phek ( 14,204 ) , Pfutsero ( 10,371 ) and Diphupar ' A ' ( 10,246 ) . Languages ( edit ) Languages of Nagaland in 2011 Konyak ( 12.33 % ) Lotha ( 8.96 % ) Angami ( 7.67 % ) Chungli Ao ( 5.83 % ) Mongsen Ao ( 4.67 % ) Chokri ( 4.6 % ) Sangtam ( 3.83 % ) Bengali ( 3.77 % ) Yimchungrü ( 3.74 % ) Chang ( 3.31 % ) Hindi ( 3.13 % ) Khiamniungan ( 3.11 % ) Rengma ( 3.05 % ) Phom ( 2.71 % ) Other ( 29.29 % ) Naga people form the majority of the population . According to the 2011 census there are 2 million people living in Nagaland . The Naga people numbering around 1.8 million in the state , constituting over 90 % of the population . Per Grierson 's classification system , Naga languages can be grouped into Western , Central and Eastern groups . The Western group includes ( among others ) Angami , Chokri and Kheza . The Central group includes Ao , Sumi , Lotha and Sangtam , whereas the Eastern group includes Konyak and Chang . In addition , there are Naga - Bodo group illustrated by Mikir language , and Kuki group of languages illustrated by Sopvama ( also called Mao Naga ) and Luppa languages . These belong mostly to the Sino - Tibetan language family . Shafer came up with his own classification system for languages found in and around Nagaland . Each tribe has one or more dialects that are unintelligible to others . In 1967 , the Nagaland Assembly proclaimed English as the official language of Nagaland and it is the medium for education in Nagaland . Other than English , Nagamese , a creole language based on Assamese , is widely spoken . The major languages spoken as per the 2001 census are Ao ( 257,500 ) , Konyak ( 248,002 ) , Lotha ( 168,356 ) , Angami ( 131,737 ) , Phom ( 122,454 ) , Sema ( 92,884 ) , Yimchungre ( 92,092 ) , Sangtam ( 84,150 ) , Chakru ( 83,506 ) , Chang ( 62,347 ) , Zeme ( 71,954 , covering Zeliang , 61,492 and Zemi , 10,462 ) , Bengali ( 58,890 ) , Rengma ( 58,590 ) , Hindi ( 56,981 ) , Kheza ( 40,362 ) , Khiamniungan ( 37,752 ) , Nepali ( 34,222 ) , Pochury ( 16,681 ) , Kuki ( 16,846 ) , Assamese ( 16,183 ) and Chakhesang ( 9,544 ) . Religion ( edit ) See also : Christianity in Nagaland and Nagaland Baptist Church Council The Catholic Cathedral in Kohima City . About 45 % of Nagaland people are Baptists . Religion in Nagaland ( 2011 ) Christianity ( 88.1 % ) Hinduism ( 8.74 % ) Islam ( 2.44 % ) Buddhism ( 0.34 % ) Jainism ( 0.13 % ) Sikhism ( 0.1 % ) Naga folk religion and other ( 0.14 % ) Not religious ( 0.10 % ) The state 's population is 1.978 million , out of which 88 % are Christians . The census of 2011 recorded the state 's Christian population at 1,739,651 , making it one of the three Christian - majority states in India along with Meghalaya and Mizoram . The state has a very high church attendance rate in both urban and rural areas . Huge churches dominate the skylines of Kohima , Dimapur , and Mokokchung . Nagaland is known as `` the only predominantly Baptist state in the world '' and `` the most Baptist state in the world '' Among Christians , Baptists have constituted more than 75 % of the state 's population , thus making it more Baptist ( on a percentage basis ) than Mississippi in the southern United States , where 55 % of the population is Baptist , and Texas which is 51 % Baptist . Roman Catholics , Revivalists , and Pentecostals are the other Christian denominations . Catholics are found in significant numbers in parts of Phek district , Wokha district and Kohima district as well as in the urban areas of Kohima and Dimapur . Christianity arrived in Nagaland in the early 19th century . The American Baptist Naga mission grew out of the Assam mission in 1836 . Miles Bronson , Nathan Brown and other Christian missionaries working out of Jaipur to bring Christianity to the Indian subcontinent , saw the opportunity for gaining converts since India 's northeast was principally animist and folk religion driven . Along with other tribal regions of the northeast , the people of Nagaland accepted Christianity . However , the conversions have been marked by high rates of re-denomination ever since . After having converted to Christianity , people do not feel bound to any one sect and tend to switch affiliation between denominations . According to a 2007 report , breakaway churches are constantly being established alongside older sects . These new Christian churches differ from older ones in terms of their liturgical traditions and methods of worship . The younger churches exhibit a more vocally explicit form of worship . The Constitution of India grants all citizens a freedom to leave , change or adopt any religion and its new sects . Hinduism , Islam and Jainism are also found in Nagaland . They are minority religions in the state , at 8.75 % , 2.47 % and 0.13 % of the population respectively . Government ( edit ) District map of Nagaland Main article : Government of Nagaland The governor is the constitutional head of state , representative of the President of India . He possesses largely ceremonial responsibilities apart from law and order responsibilities . The Legislative Assembly of Nagaland ( Vidhan Sabha ) is the real executive and legislative body of the state . The 60 - member Vidhan Sabha -- all elected members of legislature -- forms the government executive and is led by the Chief minister . Unlike most states in India , Nagaland has been granted a great degree of state autonomy , as well as special powers and autonomy for Naga tribes to conduct their own affairs . Each tribe has a hierarchy of councils at the village , range , and tribal levels dealing with local disputes . Districts ( edit ) Main article : List of districts of Nagaland When created in 1963 the state of Nagaland was divided into just three districts , Kohima district , Mokokchung district and Tuensang district . By a process of subdivision that number increased to seven in 1973 , to eleven by 2004 , and the most recent district to be created , Noklak district in 2017 , brought the total number to twelve districts . Tuensang district is now the largest , nearly five times the area of Longleng district , the smallest . The most populous and the most urbanized is Dimapur district , with seven times the inhabitants of Longleng , the least populous . Noklak district is considered entirely rural . Dimapur district is also at the lowest elevation , Zunheboto district being highest in the mountains . Elections ( edit ) See also : Political Parties in Nagaland The Democratic Alliance of Nagaland ( DAN ) is a state level coalition of political parties . It headed the government with the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) and Janata Dal ( United ) ( JDU ) . It was formed in 2003 after the Nagaland Legislative Assembly election , with the Naga People 's Front ( NPF ) , and the BJP . The alliance has been in power in Nagaland since 2003 . Economy ( edit ) The Gross State Domestic Product ( GSDP ) of Nagaland was about ₹ 12,065 crore ( US $1.8 billion ) in 2011 - 12 . Nagaland 's GSDP grew at 9.9 % compounded annually for a decade , thus more than doubling the per capita income . Nagaland has a high literacy rate of 80.1 per cent . The majority of the population in the state speaks English , which is the official language of the state . The state offers technical and medical education . Nevertheless , agriculture and forestry contribute majority of Nagaland 's Gross Domestic Product . The state is rich in mineral resources such as coal , limestone , iron , nickel , cobalt , chromium , and marble . Nagaland has a recoverable reserve of limestone of 1,000 million tonnes plus a large untapped resource of marble and handicraft stone . Most of state 's population , about 68 per cent , depends on rural cultivation . The main crops are rice , millet , maize , and pulses . Cash crops , like sugarcane and potato , are also grown in some parts . Terrace farming at Pfutsero Plantation crops such as premium coffee , cardamom , and tea are grown in hilly areas in small quantities with a large growth potential . Most people cultivate rice as it is the main staple diet of the people . About 80 % of the cropped area is dedicated to rice . Oilseeds is another , higher income crop gaining ground in Nagaland . The farm productivity for all crops is low , compared to other Indian states , suggesting significant opportunity for farmer income increase . Currently the Jhum to Terraced cultivation ratio is 4 : 3 ; where Jhum is local name for cut - and - burn shift farming . Jhum farming is ancient , causes a lot of pollution and soil damage , yet accounts for majority of farmed area . The state does not produce enough food , and depends on trade of food from other states of India . Forestry is also an important source of income . Cottage industries such as weaving , woodwork , and pottery are important sourcesof revenue . Tourism has a lot of potential , but was largely limited due to insurgency and concern of violence over the last five decades . More recently , a number of Small Medium Enterprises and private sector companies have actively promoted Nagaland tourism , helping initiate a growing tourism market . Tourism experts contend that the state 's uniqueness and strategic location in northeast India give Nagaland an advantage in tapping into the tourism sector for economic growth . Nagaland 's gross state domestic product for 2004 is estimated at $1.4 billion in current prices . The state generates 87.98 MU compared to a demand for 242.88 MU . This deficit requires Nagaland to buy power . The state has significant hydroelectric potential , which if realised could make the state a power surplus state . In terms of power distribution , every village and town , and almost every household has an electricity connection ; but , this infrastructure is not effective given the power shortage in the state . Tourism ( edit ) Main article : Tourism in North East India Tourism experts contend that the state 's uniqueness and strategic location in northeast India give Nagaland an advantage in tapping into the tourism sector for economic growth . The state has been extremely successful in promoting the Hornbill Festival , which attracts Indian and foreign tourists alike . The key thrusts of Nagaland 's tourism are its rich culture , showcasing of history and wildlife . Tourism infrastructure is rapidly improving and experts contend this is no longer an issue as was in the past . Local initiatives and tourism pioneers are now beginning to promote a socially responsible tourism model involving participation of the councils , village elders , the church and the youth . Natural resources ( edit ) After a gap of almost 20 years , Nagaland state Chief Minister , T.R. Zeliang launched the resumption of oil exploration in Changpang and Tsori areas , under Wokha district in July 2014 . The exploration will be carried out by the Metropolitan Oil & Gas Pvt. Ltd . Zeliang has alleged failures and disputed payments made to the state made by previous explorer , the state owned Oil and Natural Gas Corporation ( ONGC ) . Festivals ( edit ) Sumi Martyrs ' Day observed for Sumi Warriors who died during Mukali Siege . A Naga man with his spear , from a tribe , dressed for the war - festival . Nagaland is known in India as the land of festivals . The diversity of people and tribes , each with their own culture and heritage , creates a year - long atmosphere of celebrations . In addition , the state celebrates all the Christian festivities . Traditional tribe - related festivals revolve round agriculture , as a vast majority of the population of Nagaland is directly dependent on agriculture . Some of the significant festivals for each major tribe are : Tribe Festival Celebrated in Angami Sekrenyi February Ao Moatsu , Tsungremong May , August Chakhesang Tsukhenyie , Sekrenyi April / May , January Chang Kundanglem , Nuknyu Lem April , July Dimasa Kachari Bushu Jiba , January , April Khiamniungan Miu Festival , Tsokum May , October Konyak Aoleang Monyu , Lao - ong Mo April , September Kuki Mimkut , Chavang kut January , November Lotha Tokhu Emong November Phom Monyu , Moha , Bongvum April , May , October Pochury Yemshe October Rengma Ngadah November Sangtam Amongmong September Rongmei Gaan - ngai January Sumi Ahuna , Tuluni November , July Yimchungru Metumniu , Tsungkamniu August , January Zeliang Hega , Langsimyi / Chaga Gadi , and Mileinyi February , October , March Hornbill festival of Nagaland ( edit ) Main article : Hornbill Festival See also : Tourism in North East India Hornbil Festival , Kohima Hornbill Festival was launched by the Government of Nagaland in December 2000 to encourage intertribal interaction and to promote cultural heritage of the state . Organized by the State Tourism Department and Art & Culture Department . Hornbill Festival showcases a mélange of cultural displays under one roof . This festival takes place between 1 and 10 December every year . It is held at Naga Heritage Village , Kisama which is about 12 km from Kohima . All the tribes of Nagaland take part in this festival . The aim of the festival is to revive and protect the rich culture of Nagaland and display its history , culture and traditions .

Transportation ( edit ) The railway network in the state is minimal . Broad gauge lines run 12.84 kilometres ( 7.98 mi ) , National Highway roads 365.3 kilometres ( 227.0 mi ) , and state roads 1,094.5 kilometres ( 680.1 mi ) . Roads are the backbone of Nagaland 's transportation network . The state has over 15,000 km of surfaced roads , but these are not satisfactorily maintained given the weather damage . Yet , in terms of population served for each kilometre of surfaced road , Nagaland is the second best state in the region after Arunachal Pradesh . Railway ( edit ) Nagaland was first connected to the railway line in 1903 when the 1,000 mm ( 3 ft 3 3 ⁄ 8 in ) wide metre gauge railway track earlier laid by Assam Bengal Railway from Chittagong to Lumding was extended to Tinsukia on the Dibru - Sadiya line . As part of the Indian Railway 's ambitious plan to connect the capitals of all north - eastern states by broad gauge rail link , railway minister Suresh Prabhu laid the foundation stone of the 88 - km rail line to bring Kohima , the capital of Nagaland , on the railway map of India . The capitals of Assam , Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura have already been connected with broad gauge line and projects are under various stages of progress to connect four other capitals of Mizoram , Meghalaya , Manipur and Sikkim . The project will be executed in three phases . The first phase involves construction of Dhansiri to Sukhovi ( 16 km ) line , the second phase involves Sukhovi to Khaibong ( 30 km ) and the third phase involves Khaibong to Zubza ( 45 km ) . While the first phase of the project is targeted for completion by December 2018 , the second and third phases are targeted for completion by December 2019 and March 2020 respectively . Rs 350 crore were allotted for financial year 2016 - 17 for the project . The total sanctioned cost of the project is Rs 2,315 crore . The railway ministry has decided to make the planning process for projects participatory having scope for people 's participation in the form of suggestions etc . For this an IT enabled platform has been designed which makes people 's participation easy and the process transparent . All stakeholders would be able to participate in the planning process and monitor progress of the projects . Governor of Nagaland , PB Acharya , minister of state for railways , Rajen Gohain , chief minister of Nagaland TR Zeliang , general manager of Northeast Frontier Railway , Chahatey Ram , were present in the function held at the Dimapur railway . Dimapur is the only railway station in Nagaland and is on the Guwahati - Dibrugarh rail section . Since the region is culturally rich , instructions had been issued to design all future railway stations reflecting the local culture and heritage of the region . the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation ( IRCTC ) would be advised to explore possibility of marketing the handloom and handicraft products of the state . This project was sanctioned by Railway Board in 2007 - 08 . Considering its importance , it was declared a National Project in 2007 . The new line will take off from the existing railhead at Dhansiri railway station , 19 km from Dimapur , and reach Zubza which is 16 km short of Kohima .

The Angamis , Aos , Konyaks , Lothas , and Sumis are the largest Naga tribes ; there are several smaller tribes as well ( see List of Naga tribes ) . Tribe and clan traditions and loyalties play an important part in the life of Nagas . Weaving is a traditional art handed down through generations in Nagaland . Each of the tribe has unique designs and colours , producing shawls , shoulder bags , decorative spears , table mats , wood carvings , and bamboo works . Among many tribes the design of the shawl denotes the social status of the wearer . Some of the more known shawls include Tsungkotepsu and Rongsu of the Ao tribe ; Sutam , Ethasu , Longpensu of the Lothas ; Supong of the Sangtams , Rongkhim and Tsungrem Khim of the Yimchungers ; the Angami Lohe shawls with thick embroidered animal motifs etc . Folk songs and dances are essential ingredients of the traditional Naga culture . The oral tradition is kept alive through folk tales and songs . Naga folk songs are both romantic and historical , with songs narrating entire stories of famous ancestors and incidents . There are also seasonal songs which describe activities done in an agricultural season . Tribal dances of the Nagas give an insight into the inborn Naga reticence of the people . War dances and other dances belonging to distinctive Naga tribes are a major art form in Nagaland . Cuisine ( edit ) Nagaland is home to the bhut jolokia or ghost pepper , one of the hottest chilis in the world at 855,000 SHU on the Scoville scale .

Drinks include zutho and thutse , beers made with sticky rice .

nagaland was formed in 1963. which state was it a part of earlier
[ "After the independence of India in 1947, the area remained a part of the province of Assam. Nationalist activities arose amongst a section of the Nagas. Phizo-led Naga National Council and demanded a political union of their ancestral and native groups. The movement led to a series of violent incidents, that damaged government and civil infrastructure, attacked government officials and civilians. The union government sent the Indian Army in 1955, to restore order. In 1957, an agreement was reached between Naga leaders and the Indian government, creating a single separate region of the Naga Hills. The Tuensang frontier was united with this single political region, Naga Hills Tuensang Area (NHTA),[27] and it became a Union territory directly administered by the Central government with a large degree of autonomy. This was not satisfactory to the tribes, however, and agitation with violence increased across the state – including attacks on army and government institutions, banks, as well as non-payment of taxes. In July 1960, following discussion between Prime Minister Nehru and the leaders of the Naga People Convention (NPC), a 16-point agreement was arrived at whereby the Government of India recognised the formation of Nagaland as a full-fledged state within the Union of India.[28]\n" ]

Central Board of Film Certification
Central Board of film Certification - Wikipedia Central Board of film Certification Jump to : navigation , search Central Board of Film Certification Formation 1952 Type Government Organisation Purpose Film Certification Headquarters Mumbai , Maharashtra , India Region served India Chairperson Prasoon Joshi CEO Anurag Srivastava , IRS Parent organisation Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Budget ₹ 69 million ( US $1.1 million ) ( 2011 ) Website cbfcindia.gov.in The Central Board of Film Certification ( CBFC ) ( often referred to as the Censor Board ) is a statutory censorship and classification body under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting , Government of India . It is tasked with `` regulating the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematograph Act 1944 '' . Films can be publicly exhibited in India only after they are certified by the Board , including films shown on television . CBFC India is considered to be one of the most powerful film censor boards in the world due to its strict ways of functioning . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Certificates and censorship 2.1 Enforcement 3 Composition and leadership 3.1 Chairpersons of the CBFC 4 Controversies 5 References 6 External links History ( edit ) Though the first film in India ( Raja Harishchandra ) was produced in 1913 by Dadasaheb Phalke , the Indian Cinematograph Act was passed and came into effect only in 1920 . Censor Boards ( as they were called then ) were placed under police chiefs in cities of Madras ( now Chennai ) , Bombay ( now Mumbai ) , Calcutta ( now Kolkata ) , Lahore ( now in Pakistan ) and Rangoon ( now Yangon in Burma ) . Regional censors were independent . After Independence autonomy of regional censors was abolished and they were brought under the Bombay Board of Film Censors . With implementation of Cinematograph Act , 1953 , the board was unified and reconstituted , as the Central Board of Film Censors . Cinematograph ( Certification ) Rules were revised in 1983 and since then the Central Board of Film Censors became known as the Central Board of Film Certification . Certificates and censorship ( edit ) Films are certified under 4 categories . Initially , there were only two categories of certificates -- `` U '' ( unrestricted public exhibition ) and `` A '' ( restricted to adult audiences ) . Two more categories were added in June 1983 -- `` U / A '' ( unrestricted public exhibition subject to parental guidance for children below the age of twelve ) and `` S '' ( restricted to specialized audiences such as doctors or scientists ) . In addition to these certifications the board may also refuse to certify . U ( Unrestricted Public Exhibition ) Films with the U certification are fit for unrestricted public exhibition , and are family friendly . These films can contain universal themes like education , family , drama , romance , sci - fi , action etc . Now , these films can also contain some mild violence , but it should not be prolonged . It may also contain very mild sexual scenes ( without any traces of nudity or sexual detail ) . U / A ( Parental Guidance for children below the age of 12 years ) Films with the U / A certification can contain moderate adult themes , that are not strong in nature and can be watched by a child under parental guidance . These films can contain some strong violence , moderate sex ( without any traces of nudity or sexual detail ) , frightening scenes and muted abusive and filthy language . A ( Restricted to adults ) Films with the A certification are available for public exhibition , but with restriction to adults . These films can contain heavily strong violence , strong sex ( but full frontal and rear nudity is not allowed usually ) , strong abusive language ( but words which insults or degrades women are not allowed ) , and even some controversial and adult themes considered unsuitable for young viewers . Such films are often recertified for TV and video viewing , which does n't happen in case of U and U / A certified movies . S ( Restricted to any special class of persons ) Films with S certification should not be viewed by the public . Only people associated with it ( Engineers , Doctors , Scientists , etc . ) , have permission to watch those films .

Earlier , Leela Samson had succeeded Sharmila Tagore , who was the longest continuous running Chairperson in the history . Nihalani was the 27th Chairperson after the Board 's establishment .

Movie producers reportedly bribe the CBFC to get ' U ' certificate to avail 30 % exemption in entertainment tax despite violent scenes and coarse dialogues . In 2002 , the film War and Peace , depicting scenes of nuclear testing and the September 11 , 2001 attacks , created by Anand Patwardhan , was asked to make 21 cuts before it was allowed to have the certificate for release . Patwardhan objected , saying `` The cuts that they asked for are so ridiculous that they wo n't hold up in court '' and `` But if these cuts do make it , it will be the end of freedom of expression in the Indian media . '' The court decreed the cuts unconstitutional and the film was shown uncut . The same year , Indian filmmaker and former chief of the country 's film censor board , Vijay Anand , kicked up a controversy with a proposal to legalize the exhibition of X-rated films in selected cinemas across the country , saying `` Porn is shown everywhere in India clandestinely ... and the best way to fight this onslaught of blue movies is to show them openly in theatres with legally authorized licences '' . He resigned within a year after taking charge of the censor board after facing widespread criticism of his moves . In 2003 , CBFC banned the film Gulabi Aaina ( The Pink Mirror ) , a film on Indian transsexuals produced and directed by Sridhar Rangayan . The censor board cited that the film was `` vulgar and offensive '' . The filmmaker appealed twice again unsuccessfully . The film still remains banned in India , but has screened at numerous festivals all over the world and won awards . The critics have applauded it for its `` sensitive and touching portrayal of marginalised community '' . In 2004 , the documentary Final Solution , which looks at religious rioting between Hindus and Muslims , was banned . The film follows 2002 clashes in the western state of Gujarat , which left more than 1,000 people dead . The censor board justified the ban , saying it was `` highly provocative and may trigger off unrest and communal violence '' . The ban was lifted in October 2004 after a sustained campaign . In 2006 , seven states ( Nagaland , Punjab , Goa , Tamil Nadu , Andhra Pradesh ) have banned the release or exhibition of the Hollywood movie The Da Vinci Code ( and also the book ) , although the CBFC cleared the film for adult viewing throughout India . However , the respective high courts lifted the ban and the movie was shown in the two states . The CBFC demanded five cuts from the 2011 American film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo because of some scenes containing rape and nudity . The producers and the director David Fincher finally decided not to release the film in India . In 2013 , Kamal Haasan 's Vishwaroopam was banned from the screening for a period of two weeks in Tamil Nadu . A CEO of CBFC was arrested in August 2014 for accepting bribes for speedy clearance . In 2015 , the CBFC demanded four cuts ( three visual and one audio ) from the art - house Malayalam feature film Chaayam Poosiya Veedu ( The Painted House ) directed by brothers Santosh Babusenan and Satish Babusenan because the film contained scenes where the female lead was shown in the nude . The directors refused to make any changes whatsoever to the film and hence the film was denied a certificate . Chairperson of CBFC Leela Samson resigned alleging political interference after the CBFC 's rejection of a certificate for the film MSG : Messenger of God was overturned by an appellate tribunal . She was later replaced by Pahlaj Nihalani . His appointment caused more than half the board members to resign alleging Pahlaj Nihalani is close to the present ruling party . CBFC was panned by social media for reducing two kissing scenes in the movie Spectre . In 2016 , the film Udta Punjab , produced by Anurag Kashyap and Ekta Kapoor among others , ran into trouble with the CBFC , resulting in a very public re-examination of the ethics of film censorship in India . The film , which depicted a structural drug problem in the state of Punjab , used a lot of expletives and showed scenes of drug use . The CBFC , on 9 June 2016 , released a list of 94 cuts and 13 pointers , including the deletion of names of cities in Punjab . On 13 June , the film was cleared by the Bombay High Court with one cut and disclaimers . The court ruled that , contrary to the claims of the CBFC , the film was not out to `` malign '' the state of Punjab , and that it `` wants to save people '' . Thereafter , the film was faced with further controversy when a print of it was leaked online on a torrent site . The quality of the copy , along with the fact that there was supposedly a watermark that said `` censor '' on top of the screen , raised suspicions that the CBFC itself had leaked the copy to spite the filmmakers . It also contained the only scene that had been cut according to the High Court order . While the CBFC claimed innocence , the lingering suspicions resulted in a tense release , with the filmmakers and countless freedom of expression advocates taking to social media to appeal to the public to watch the film in theatres , as a conscious challenge against excessive censorship on art in India . Kashyap himself asked viewers to wait till the film released before they downloaded it for free , stating that he did n't have a problem with illegal downloads , an unusual thing for a film producer to say . The film eventually released and grossed over $13 million finishing as a commercial success . In August 2017 , soon after his removal as CBFC Chief , Nihalani revealed in an interview that he had received instructions from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to block the release of the film . In 2017 , the film Lipstick Under My Burkha directed by Alankrita Shrivastava and produced by Prakash Jha , also ran into trouble with the CBFC which refused to certify the film , stating that `` The story is lady oriented , their fantasy above life . There are contagious ( sic ) sexual scenes , abusive words , audio pornography and a bit sensitive touch about one particular section of society . '' Internationally , the film had been screened in over 35 film festivals across the world and notably earned eleven international awards prior to its official release in India , becoming an eligible entry for the Golden Globe Award Ceremony . The filmmakers appealed this decision to the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal ( FCAT ) , which overruled the censor board 's ruling , thereby granting the film a theatrical release rights . FCAT asked the filmmakers to make some cuts , mostly related to the sex scenes , at their discretion . The film released with an `` A '' or adults certificate , equivalent to an NC - 17 rating in the United States , with some voluntary edits . Shrivastava told Agence - France Presse : `` Of course I would have loved no cuts , but the FCAT has been very fair and clear . I feel that we will be able to release the film without hampering the narrative or diluting its essence . '' In August 2017 , Pahlaj Nahalani was removed as the Chairperson of the CBFC . In an interview days after his removal , he revealed that the Government of India had , in at least two instances , issued direct instructions to the Board on blocking or delaying the release of particular films .

It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam . The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union , China and other communist allies and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States , South Korea , Australia , Thailand and other anti-communist allies . The war is therefore considered a Cold War - era proxy war . The Viet Cong ( also known as the National Liberation Front , or NLF ) , a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North , fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region , while the People 's Army of Vietnam , also known as the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) , engaged in more conventional warfare , at times committing large units to battle . As the war continued , the military actions of the Viet Cong decreased as the role and engagement of the NVA grew . U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations , involving ground forces , artillery , and airstrikes . In the course of the war , the U.S. conducted a large - scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam . The North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong were fighting to reunify Vietnam . They viewed the conflict as a colonial war and a continuation of the First Indochina War against forces from France and later on the United States . The U.S. government viewed its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam . This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy , with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism . Beginning in 1950 , American military advisors arrived in what was then French Indochina . Most of the funding for the French war effort was provided by the U.S. U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s , with troop levels tripling in 1961 and again in 1962 . U.S. involvement escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident , in which a U.S. destroyer clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft , which was followed by the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution , which gave the U.S. president authorization to increase U.S. military presence . Regular U.S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965 . Operations crossed international borders : bordering areas of Laos and Cambodia were heavily bombed by U.S. forces as American involvement in the war peaked in 1968 , the same year that the communist side launched the Tet Offensive . The Tet Offensive failed in its goal of overthrowing the South Vietnamese government , but became the turning point in the war , as it persuaded a large segment of the U.S. population that its government 's claims of progress toward winning the war were illusory despite many years of massive U.S. military aid to South Vietnam . Gradual withdrawal of U.S. ground forces began as part of `` Vietnamization '' , which aimed to end American involvement in the war while transferring the task of fighting the communists to the South Vietnamese themselves . Despite the Paris Peace Accord , which was signed by all parties in January 1973 , the fighting continued . In the U.S. and the Western world , a large anti-Vietnam War movement developed as part of a larger counterculture . The war changed the dynamics between the Eastern and Western Blocs , and altered North -- South relations . Direct U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973 . The capture of Saigon by the North Vietnamese Army in April 1975 marked the end of the war , and North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year . The war exacted a huge human cost in terms of fatalities ( see Vietnam War casualties ) . Estimates of the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from 966,000 to 3.8 million . Some 240,000 -- 300,000 Cambodians , 20,000 -- 62,000 Laotians , and 58,220 U.S. service members also died in the conflict , and a further 1,626 remain missing in action .

Vietnam War is the most commonly used name in English . It has also been called the Second Indochina War and the Vietnam Conflict . As there have been several conflicts in Indochina , this particular conflict is known by the names of its primary protagonists to distinguish it from others . In Vietnamese , the war is generally known as Kháng chiến chống Mỹ ( Resistance War Against America ) , but less formally as ' Cuộc chiến tranh Mỹ ' ( The American War ' ) . It is also called Chiến tranh Việt Nam ( The Vietnam War ) . The primary military organizations involved in the war were , on one side , the Army of the Republic of Vietnam ( ARVN ) and the U.S. military , and , on the other side , the People 's Army of Vietnam ( PAVN ) ( more commonly called the North Vietnamese Army , or NVA , in English - language sources ) , and the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF , more commonly known as the Viet Cong in English language sources ) , a South Vietnamese communist guerrilla force . Background to 1954 See also : History of Vietnam , Cochinchina Campaign , Cần Vương , Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng , Yên Bái mutiny , Vietnam during World War II , War in Vietnam ( 1945 -- 46 ) , 1940 -- 46 in the Vietnam War , and 1947 -- 50 in the Vietnam War France began its conquest of Indochina in the late 1850s , and completed pacification by 1893 . The 1884 Treaty of Huế formed the basis for French colonial rule in Vietnam for the next seven decades . In spite of military resistance , most notably by the Cần Vương of Phan Đình Phùng , by 1888 the area of the current - day nations of Cambodia and Vietnam was made into the colony of French Indochina ( Laos was later added to the colony ) . Various Vietnamese opposition movements to French rule existed during this period , such as the Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng who staged the failed Yên Bái mutiny in 1930 , but none were ultimately as successful as the Viet Minh common front , which was founded in 1941 , controlled by the Indochinese Communist Party , and funded by the U.S. and the Chinese Nationalist Party in its fight against Imperial Japanese occupation . In 1940 , during World War II , the French were defeated by the Germans . The French State ( commonly known as Vichy France ) was established as a client state of Nazi Germany . The French colonial authorities , in French Indochina , sided with the Vichy regime . In September 1940 , Japan invaded Indochina . Following the cessation of fighting and the beginning of the Imperial Japanese occupation , the French colonial authorities collaborated with the Japanese . The French continued to run affairs in Indochina , but ultimate power resided in the hands of the Imperial Japanese . The Viet Minh was founded as a league for independence from France , but also opposed Japanese occupation in 1945 for the same reason . The U.S. and Chinese Nationalist Party supported them in the fight against the Imperial Japanese . However , they did not have enough power to fight actual battles at first . Viet Minh leader Ho Chi Minh was suspected of being a communist and jailed for a year by the Chinese Nationalist Party . Double occupation by France and Japan continued until the German forces were expelled from France and the French Indochina colonial authorities started holding secret talks with the Free French . Fearing that they could no longer trust the French authorities , the Imperial Japanese military interned the French authorities and troops on 9 March 1945 and created the puppet Empire of Vietnam state , under Bảo Đại instead . During 1944 -- 1945 , a deep famine struck northern Vietnam due to a combination of bad weather and French / Japanese exploitation ( French Indochina had to supply grains to Japan ) . Between 400,000 and 2 million people died of starvation ( out of a population of 10 million in the affected area ) . Exploiting the administrative gap that the internment of the French had created , the Viet Minh in March 1945 urged the population to ransack rice warehouses and refuse to pay their taxes . Between 75 and 100 warehouses were consequently raided . This rebellion against the effects of the famine and the authorities that were partially responsible for it bolstered the Viet Minh 's popularity and they recruited many members during this period . On 22 August 1945 , following the Imperial Japanese surrender , OSS agents Archimedes Patti and Carleton B. Swift Jr. arrived in Hanoi on a mercy mission to liberate allied POWs and were accompanied by Jean Sainteny , a French government official . The Japanese forces informally surrendered ( the official surrender took place on 2 September 1945 in Tokyo Bay ) but being the only force capable of maintaining law and order the Imperial Japanese military remained in power while keeping French colonial troops and Sainteny detained . During August the Imperial Japanese forces remained inactive as the Viet Minh and other nationalist groups took over public buildings and weapons , which began the August Revolution . OSS officers met repeatedly with Ho Chi Minh and other Viet Minh officers during this period and on 2 September 1945 Ho Chi Minh declared the independent Democratic Republic of Vietnam before a crowd of 500,000 in Hanoi . In an overture to the Americans , he began his speech by paraphrasing the United States Declaration of Independence : `` All men are created equal . The Creator has given us certain inviolable Rights : the right to Life , the right to be Free , and the right to achieve Happiness . '' The Viet Minh took power in Vietnam in the August Revolution . The Viet Minh , downplaying their Communist agenda and stressing nationalism enjoyed large popular support ( Vietnamese independence being popular at the time ) , although Arthur J. Dommen cautions against a `` romanticized view '' of their success : `` The Viet Minh use of terror was systematic .... the party had drawn up a list of those to be liquidated without delay . '' After their defeat in the war , the Imperial Japanese Army ( IJA ) gave weapons to the Vietnamese , and kept Vichy French officials and military officers imprisoned for a month after the surrender . The Viet Minh had recruited more than 600 Imperial Japanese soldiers and given them roles to train or command Vietnamese soldiers . An Imperial Japanese naval officer surrenders his sword to a British lieutenant in Saigon on 13 September 1945 . However , the major allied victors of World War II , the United Kingdom , the United States , and the Soviet Union , all agreed the area belonged to the French . As the French did not have the means to immediately retake Vietnam , the major powers came to an agreement that British troops would occupy the south while Nationalist Chinese forces would move in from the north . Nationalist Chinese troops entered the country to disarm Imperial Japanese troops north of the 16th parallel on 14 September 1945 . When the British landed in the south , they rearmed the interned French forces as well as parts of the surrendered Imperial Japanese forces to aid them in retaking southern Vietnam , as they did not have enough troops to do this themselves . On the urging of the Soviet Union , Ho Chi Minh initially attempted to negotiate with the French , who were slowly re-establishing their control across the area . In January 1946 , the Viet Minh won elections across central and northern Vietnam . On 6 March 1946 , Ho signed an agreement allowing French forces to replace Nationalist Chinese forces , in exchange for French recognition of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as a `` free '' republic within the French Union , with the specifics of such recognition to be determined by future negotiation . The French landed in Hanoi by March 1946 and in November of that year they ousted the Viet Minh from the city . British forces departed on 26 March 1946 , leaving Vietnam in the hands of the French . Soon thereafter , the Viet Minh began a guerrilla war against the French Union forces , beginning the First Indochina War . The war spread to Laos and Cambodia , where communists organized the Pathet Lao and the Khmer Serei , both of which were modeled on the Viet Minh . Globally , the Cold War began in earnest , which meant that the rapprochement that existed between the Western powers and the Soviet Union during World War II disintegrated . The Viet Minh fight was hampered by a lack of weapons ; this situation changed by 1949 when the Chinese Communists had largely won the Chinese Civil War and were free to provide arms to their Vietnamese allies . Exit of the French , 1950 -- 54 Main articles : First Indochina War , Operation Vulture , Operation Passage to Freedom , and 1954 in the Vietnam War In January 1950 , the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet Union recognized the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam , based in Hanoi , as the legitimate government of Vietnam . The following month the United States and Great Britain recognized the French - backed State of Vietnam in Saigon , led by former Emperor Bảo Đại , as the legitimate Vietnamese government . The outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 convinced many Washington policymakers that the war in Indochina was an example of communist expansionism directed by the Soviet Union . French soldiers fight off a Viet Minh ambush in 1952 . Military advisors from the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) began assisting the Viet Minh in July 1950 . PRC weapons , expertise , and laborers transformed the Viet Minh from a guerrilla force into a regular army . In September 1950 , the United States created a Military Assistance and Advisory Group ( MAAG ) to screen French requests for aid , advise on strategy , and train Vietnamese soldiers . By 1954 , the United States had supplied 300,000 small arms and spent US $1 billion in support of the French military effort , shouldering 80 percent of the cost of the war . There were also talks between the French and Americans in which the possible use of three tactical nuclear weapons was considered , though reports of how seriously this was considered and by whom are even now vague and contradictory . One version of the plan for the proposed Operation Vulture envisioned sending 60 B - 29s from U.S. bases in the region , supported by as many as 150 fighters launched from U.S. Seventh Fleet carriers , to bomb Viet Minh commander Võ Nguyên Giáp 's positions . The plan included an option to use up to three atomic weapons on the Viet Minh positions . Admiral Arthur W. Radford , Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff , gave this nuclear option his backing . U.S. B - 29s , B - 36s , and B - 47s could have executed a nuclear strike , as could carrier aircraft from the Seventh Fleet . U.S. carriers sailed to the Gulf of Tonkin , and reconnaissance flights over Điện Biên Phủ were conducted during the negotiations . According to U.S. Vice-President Richard Nixon , the plan involved the Joint Chiefs of Staff drawing up plans to use three small tactical nuclear weapons in support of the French . Nixon , a so - called `` hawk '' on Vietnam , suggested that the United States might have to `` put American boys in '' . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower made American participation contingent on British support , but they were opposed to such a venture . In the end , convinced that the political risks outweighed the possible benefits , Eisenhower decided against the intervention . Eisenhower was a five - star general . He was wary of getting the United States involved in a land war in Asia . The Viet Minh received crucial support from the Soviet Union and PRC . PRC support in the Border Campaign of 1950 allowed supplies to come from the PRC into Vietnam . Throughout the conflict , U.S. intelligence estimates remained skeptical of French chances of success . The Battle of Dien Bien Phu marked the end of French involvement in Indochina . Giap 's Viet Minh forces handed the French a stunning military defeat , and on 7 May 1954 , the French Union garrison surrendered . At the Geneva Conference , the French negotiated a ceasefire agreement with the Viet Minh , and independence was granted to Cambodia , Laos , and Vietnam . U.S. involvement , 1955 -- 75 Transition period Main articles : Geneva Conference ( 1954 ) ; Operation Passage to Freedom ; Battle of Saigon ( 1955 ) ; Ba Cụt ; State of Vietnam referendum , 1955 ; Land reform in Vietnam ; and Land reform in North Vietnam The Geneva Conference , 1954 Vietnam was temporarily partitioned at the 17th parallel , and under the terms of the Geneva Accords , civilians were to be given the opportunity to move freely between the two provisional states for a 300 - day period . Elections throughout the country were to be held in 1956 to establish a unified government . Around one million northerners , mainly minority Catholics , fled south , fearing persecution by the communists following an American propaganda campaign using slogans such as `` The Virgin Mary is heading south '' , and aided by a U.S. - funded $93 million relocation program , which included the use of the Seventh Fleet to ferry refugees . As many as two million more would have left had they not been stopped by the Viet Minh . The northern , mainly Catholic refugees were meant to give the later Ngô Đình Diệm regime a strong anti-communist constituency . Diệm later went on to staff his administration 's key posts mostly with northern and central Catholics . In addition to the Catholics flowing south , up to 130,000 `` Revolutionary Regroupees '' went to the north for `` regroupment '' , expecting to return to the south within two years . The Viet Minh left roughly 5,000 to 10,000 cadres in the south as a `` politico - military substructure within the object of its irredentism . '' The last French soldiers were to leave Vietnam in April 1956 . The PRC completed its withdrawal from North Vietnam at around the same time . Around 52,000 Vietnamese civilians moved from south to north . Between 1953 and 1956 , the North Vietnamese government instituted various agrarian reforms , including `` rent reduction '' and `` land reform '' , which resulted in significant political oppression . During the land reform , testimony from North Vietnamese witnesses suggested a ratio of one execution for every 160 village residents , which extrapolated nationwide would indicate nearly 100,000 executions . Because the campaign was concentrated mainly in the Red River Delta area , a lower estimate of 50,000 executions became widely accepted by scholars at the time . However , declassified documents from the Vietnamese and Hungarian archives indicate that the number of executions was much lower than reported at the time , although likely greater than 13,500 . In 1956 , leaders in Hanoi admitted to `` excesses '' in implementing this program and restored a large amount of the land to the original owners . The south , meanwhile , constituted the State of Vietnam , with Bảo Đại as Emperor and Ngô Đình Diệm ( appointed in July 1954 ) as his prime minister . Neither the United States government nor Ngô Đình Diệm 's State of Vietnam signed anything at the 1954 Geneva Conference . With respect to the question of reunification , the non-communist Vietnamese delegation objected strenuously to any division of Vietnam , but lost out when the French accepted the proposal of Viet Minh delegate Phạm Văn Đồng , who proposed that Vietnam eventually be united by elections under the supervision of `` local commissions '' . The United States countered with what became known as the `` American Plan '' , with the support of South Vietnam and the United Kingdom . It provided for unification elections under the supervision of the United Nations , but was rejected by the Soviet delegation . The United States said , `` With respect to the statement made by the representative of the State of Vietnam , the United States reiterates its traditional position that peoples are entitled to determine their own future and that it will not join in any arrangement which would hinder this '' . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in 1954 , `` I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting , possibly eighty percent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader rather than Chief of State Bảo Đại . Indeed , the lack of leadership and drive on the part of Bảo Đại was a factor in the feeling prevalent among Vietnamese that they had nothing to fight for . '' According to the Pentagon Papers , however , from 1954 to 1956 `` Ngô Đình Diệm really did accomplish miracles '' in South Vietnam : `` It is almost certain that by 1956 the proportion which might have voted for Ho -- in a free election against Diệm -- would have been much smaller than eighty percent . '' In 1957 , independent observers from India , Poland , and Canada representing the International Control Commission ( ICC ) stated that fair , unbiased elections were not possible , with the ICC reporting that neither South nor North Vietnam had honored the armistice agreement From April to June 1955 , Diệm eliminated any political opposition in the south by launching military operations against two religious groups : the Cao Đài and Hòa Hảo of Ba Cụt . The campaign also focused on the Bình Xuyên organized crime group which was allied with members of the communist party secret police and had some military elements . As broad - based opposition to his harsh tactics mounted , Diệm increasingly sought to blame the communists . In a referendum on the future of the State of Vietnam on 23 October 1955 , Diệm rigged the poll supervised by his brother Ngô Đình Nhu and was credited with 98.2 percent of the vote , including 133 % in Saigon . His American advisors had recommended a more modest winning margin of `` 60 to 70 percent . '' Diệm , however , viewed the election as a test of authority . Three days later , he declared South Vietnam to be an independent state under the name Republic of Vietnam ( ROV ) , with himself as president . Likewise , Ho Chi Minh and other communist officials always won at least 99 % of the vote in North Vietnamese `` elections '' . The domino theory , which argued that if one country fell to communism , then all of the surrounding countries would follow , was first proposed as policy by the Eisenhower administration . John F. Kennedy , then a U.S. Senator , said in a speech to the American Friends of Vietnam : `` Burma , Thailand , India , Japan , the Philippines and obviously Laos and Cambodia are among those whose security would be threatened if the Red Tide of Communism overflowed into Vietnam . '' Diệm era , 1955 -- 63 Main articles : Ngô Đình Diệm and War in Vietnam ( 1954 -- 59 ) U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles greet President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam in Washington , 8 May 1957 . Rule See also : Ngô Đình Diệm presidential visit to Australia A devout Roman Catholic , Diệm was fervently anti-communist , nationalist , and socially conservative . Historian Luu Doan Huynh notes that `` Diệm represented narrow and extremist nationalism coupled with autocracy and nepotism . '' The majority of Vietnamese people were Buddhist , and were alarmed by actions such as Diệm 's dedication of the country to the Virgin Mary . Beginning in the summer of 1955 , Diệm launched the `` Denounce the Communists '' campaign , during which communists and other anti-government elements were arrested , imprisoned , tortured , or executed . He instituted the death penalty against any activity deemed communist in August 1956 . According to Gabriel Kolko about 12,000 suspected opponents of Diệm were killed between 1955 and 1957 and by the end of 1958 an estimated 40,000 political prisoners had been jailed . In May 1957 , Diệm undertook a ten - day state visit to the United States . President Eisenhower pledged his continued support , and a parade was held in Diệm 's honor in New York City . Although Diệm was publicly praised , in private Secretary of State John Foster Dulles conceded that Diệm had been selected because there were no better alternatives . Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara wrote in Argument Without End ( 1999 ) that the new American patrons of the Republic of Vietnam ( ROV ) were almost completely ignorant of Vietnamese culture . They knew little of the language or long history of the country . There was a tendency to assign American motives to Vietnamese actions , though Diệm warned that it was an illusion to believe that blindly copying Western methods would solve Vietnamese problems . Insurgency in the South , 1954 -- 60 Main articles : Viet Cong and War in Vietnam ( 1959 -- 63 ) The Ho Chi Minh trail was used to supply the Viet Cong . Between 1954 and 1957 there was large - scale but disorganized dissidence in the countryside which the Diệm government succeeded in quelling . In early 1957 South Vietnam enjoyed its first peace in over a decade . Incidents of political violence began to occur in mid-1957 , but the government `` did not construe it as a campaign , considering the disorders too diffuse to warrant committing major GVN ( Government of Vietnam ) resources . '' By early 1959 , however , Diệm had come to regard the ( increasingly frequent ) disorders as an organized campaign and implemented Law 10 / 59 , which made political violence punishable by death and property confiscation . There had been some division among former Viet Minh whose main goal was to hold the elections promised in the Geneva Accords , leading to `` wildcat '' activities separate from the other communists and anti-GVN activists . In December 1960 , the National Liberation Front ( NLF , a.k.a. the Viet Cong ) was formally created with the intent of uniting all anti-GVN activists , including non-communists . According to the Pentagon Papers , the Viet Cong `` placed heavy emphasis on the withdrawal of American advisors and influence , on land reform and liberalization of the GVN , on coalition government and the neutralization of Vietnam . '' Often the leaders of the organization were kept secret . Support for the NLF was driven by peasant resentment of Diem 's reversal of land reforms in the countryside . The vast majority of the population lived in villages in the countryside , where a key demand was for land reform . In areas they controlled , the Viet Minh had confiscated large private landholdings , reduced rents and debts , and leased communal lands , mostly to the poorer peasants . Diem brought the landlords back to the villages . People who were farming land they had held for years now had to return it to landlords and pay years of back rent . This rent collection was enforced by the South Vietnamese army . The divisions within villages reproduced those that had existed against the French : `` 75 percent support for the NLF , 20 percent trying to remain neutral and 5 percent firmly pro-government , '' North Vietnamese involvement See also : North Vietnamese invasion of Laos Sources disagree on whether North Vietnam played a direct role in aiding and organizing South Vietnamese rebels prior to 1960 . Kahin and Lewis assert : Contrary to United States policy assumptions , all available evidence shows that the revival of the civil war in the South in 1958 was undertaken by Southerners at their own -- not Hanoi 's -- initiative ... Insurgency activity against the Saigon government began in the South under Southern leadership not as a consequence of any dictate from Hanoi , but contrary to Hanoi 's injunctions . Similarly , historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. states that `` it was not until September , 1960 that the Communist Party of North Vietnam bestowed its formal blessing and called for the liberation of the south from American imperialism '' . By contrast , James Olson and Randy Roberts assert that North Vietnam authorized a low - level insurgency in December 1956 . To counter the accusation that North Vietnam was violating the Geneva Accord , the independence of the Viet Cong was stressed in communist propaganda . In March 1956 , southern communist leader Lê Duẩn presented a plan to revive the insurgency entitled `` The Road to the South '' to the other members of the Politburo in Hanoi , but as both China and the Soviets opposed confrontation at this time , Lê Duẩn 's plan was rejected . However the North Vietnamese leadership approved tentative measures to revive the southern insurgency in December 1956 . Communist forces were under a single command structure set up in 1958 . The North Vietnamese Communist Party approved a `` people 's war '' on the South at a session in January 1959 and in May , Group 559 was established to maintain and upgrade the Ho Chi Minh trail , at this time a six - month mountain trek through Laos . About 500 of the `` regroupees '' of 1954 were sent south on the trail during its first year of operation . The first arms delivery via the trail was completed in August 1959 . About 40,000 communist soldiers infiltrated into the south from 1961 -- 63 . Kennedy 's escalation , 1961 -- 63 Main articles : Strategic Hamlet Program and Phạm Ngọc Thảo In the 1960 U.S. presidential election , Senator John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon . Although Eisenhower warned Kennedy about Laos and Vietnam , Europe and Latin America `` loomed larger than Asia on his sights . '' In his inaugural address , Kennedy made the ambitious pledge to `` pay any price , bear any burden , meet any hardship , support any friend , oppose any foe , in order to assure the survival and success of liberty . '' In June 1961 , he bitterly disagreed with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev when they met in Vienna to discuss key U.S. -- Soviet issues . Only 16 months later , the Cuban Missile Crisis ( 16 -- 28 October 1962 ) played out on television worldwide . It was the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full - scale nuclear war , and the U.S. raised the readiness level of Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) forces to DEFCON 2 . President 's news conference of 23 March 1961 The Kennedy administration remained essentially committed to the Cold War foreign policy inherited from the Truman and Eisenhower administrations . In 1961 , the U.S. had 50,000 troops based in Korea , and Kennedy faced a three - part crisis -- the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion , the construction of the Berlin Wall , and a negotiated settlement between the pro-Western government of Laos and the Pathet Lao communist movement . These crises made Kennedy believe that another failure on the part of the United States to gain control and stop communist expansion would fatally damage U.S. credibility with its allies and his own reputation . Kennedy was thus determined to `` draw a line in the sand '' and prevent a communist victory in Vietnam . He told James Reston of The New York Times immediately after his Vienna meeting with Khrushchev , `` Now we have a problem making our power credible and Vietnam looks like the place . '' In May 1961 , U.S. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson visited Saigon and enthusiastically declared Diệm the `` Winston Churchill of Asia . '' Asked why he had made the comment , Johnson replied , `` Diệm 's the only boy we got out there . '' Johnson assured Diệm of more aid in molding a fighting force that could resist the communists . Kennedy 's policy toward South Vietnam rested on the assumption that Diệm and his forces had to ultimately defeat the guerrillas on their own . He was against the deployment of American combat troops and observed that `` to introduce U.S. forces in large numbers there today , while it might have an initially favorable military impact , would almost certainly lead to adverse political and , in the long run , adverse military consequences . '' The quality of the South Vietnamese military , however , remained poor . Poor leadership , corruption , and political promotions all played a part in weakening the South Vietnamese Army ( ARVN ) . The frequency of guerrilla attacks rose as the insurgency gathered steam . While Hanoi 's support for the Viet Cong played a role , South Vietnamese governmental incompetence was at the core of the crisis . South Vietnam , Military Regions , 1967 One major issue Kennedy raised was whether the Soviet space and missile programs had surpassed those of the United States . Although Kennedy stressed long - range missile parity with the Soviets , he was also interested in using special forces for counterinsurgency warfare in Third World countries threatened by communist insurgencies . Although they were originally intended for use behind front lines after a conventional Soviet invasion of Europe , Kennedy believed that the guerrilla tactics employed by special forces such as the Green Berets would be effective in a `` brush fire '' war in Vietnam . Kennedy advisors Maxwell Taylor and Walt Rostow recommended that U.S. troops be sent to South Vietnam disguised as flood relief workers . Kennedy rejected the idea but increased military assistance yet again . In April 1962 , John Kenneth Galbraith warned Kennedy of the `` danger we shall replace the French as a colonial force in the area and bleed as the French did . '' By November 1963 , there were 16,000 American military personnel in South Vietnam , up from Eisenhower 's 900 advisors . The Strategic Hamlet Program was initiated in late 1961 . This joint U.S. - South Vietnamese program attempted to resettle the rural population into fortified camps . It was implemented in early 1962 and involved some forced relocation , village internment , and segregation of rural South Vietnamese into new communities where the peasantry would be isolated from Communist insurgents . It was hoped these new communities would provide security for the peasants and strengthen the tie between them and the central government . However , by November 1963 the program had waned , and it officially ended in 1964 . On 23 July 1962 , fourteen nations , including China , South Vietnam , the Soviet Union , North Vietnam and the United States , signed an agreement promising to respect the neutrality of Laos . Ousting and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm See also : Role of the United States in the Vietnam War § John F. Kennedy ( 1961 -- 1963 ) , 1960 South Vietnamese coup attempt , 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing , Huế Phật Đản shootings , and Xá Lợi Pagoda raids Main articles : Cable 243 , Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm , Buddhist crisis , Krulak Mendenhall mission , McNamara Taylor mission , 1963 South Vietnamese coup , and Reaction to the 1963 South Vietnamese coup The inept performance of the South Vietnamese army was exemplified by failed actions such as the Battle of Ap Bac on 2 January 1963 , in which a small band of Viet Cong won a battle against a much larger and better - equipped South Vietnamese force , many of whose officers seemed reluctant even to engage in combat . The Army of the Republic of Vietnam forces were led in that battle by Diệm 's most trusted general , Huỳnh Văn Cao , commander of the IV Corps . Cao was a Catholic who had been promoted due to religion and fidelity rather than skill , and his main job was to preserve his forces to stave off coups ; he had earlier vomited during a communist attack . Some policymakers in Washington began to conclude that Diệm was incapable of defeating the communists and might even make a deal with Ho Chi Minh . He seemed concerned only with fending off coups , and had become more paranoid after attempts in 1960 and 1962 , which he partly attributed to U.S. encouragement . As Robert F. Kennedy noted , `` Diệm would n't make even the slightest concessions . He was difficult to reason with ... '' As historian James Gibson summed up the situation : Strategic hamlets had failed ... The South Vietnamese regime was incapable of winning the peasantry because of its class base among landlords . Indeed , there was no longer a ' regime ' in the sense of a relatively stable political alliance and functioning bureaucracy . Instead , civil government and military operations had virtually ceased . The National Liberation Front had made great progress and was close to declaring provisional revolutionary governments in large areas . A US tank convoy during the Vietnam War Discontent with Diệm 's policies exploded following the Huế Phật Đản shootings of nine majority Buddhists who were protesting against the ban on the Buddhist flag on Vesak , the Buddha 's birthday . This resulted in mass protests against discriminatory policies that gave privileges to the Catholic Church and its adherents . Diệm 's elder brother Ngô Đình Thục was the Archbishop of Huế and aggressively blurred the separation between church and state . Thuc 's anniversary celebrations shortly before Vesak had been bankrolled by the government , and Vatican flags were displayed prominently . There had also been reports of Buddhist pagodas being demolished by Catholic paramilitaries throughout Diệm 's rule . Diệm refused to make concessions to the Buddhist majority or take responsibility for the deaths . On 21 August 1963 , the ARVN Special Forces of Colonel Lê Quang Tung , loyal to Diệm 's younger brother Ngô Đình Nhu , raided pagodas across Vietnam , causing widespread damage and destruction and leaving a death toll estimated to range into the hundreds . Kennedy and McNamara Ngô Đình Diệm after being shot and killed in the 1963 coup U.S. officials began discussing the possibility of a regime change during the middle of 1963 . The United States Department of State was generally in favor of encouraging a coup , while the Defense Department favored Diệm . Chief among the proposed changes was the removal of Diệm 's younger brother Nhu , who controlled the secret police and special forces and was seen as the man behind the Buddhist repression and more generally the architect of the Ngô family 's rule . This proposal was conveyed to the U.S. embassy in Saigon in Cable 243 . The Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) was in contact with generals planning to remove Diệm . They were told that the United States would not oppose such a move nor punish the generals by cutting off aid . President Diệm was overthrown and executed , along with his brother , on 2 November 1963 . When Kennedy was informed , Maxwell Taylor remembered that he `` rushed from the room with a look of shock and dismay on his face . '' He had not anticipated Diệm 's murder . The U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam , Henry Cabot Lodge , invited the coup leaders to the embassy and congratulated them . Ambassador Lodge informed Kennedy that `` the prospects now are for a shorter war '' . Kennedy wrote Lodge a letter congratulating him for `` a fine job '' . Following the coup , chaos ensued . Hanoi took advantage of the situation and increased its support for the guerrillas . South Vietnam entered a period of extreme political instability , as one military government toppled another in quick succession . Increasingly , each new regime was viewed by the communists as a puppet of the Americans ; whatever the failings of Diệm , his credentials as a nationalist ( as Robert McNamara later reflected ) had been impeccable . U.S military advisors were embedded at every level of the South Vietnamese armed forces . They were however criticized for ignoring the political nature of the insurgency . The Kennedy administration sought to refocus U.S. efforts on pacification and `` winning over the hearts and minds '' of the population . The military leadership in Washington , however , was hostile to any role for U.S. advisors other than conventional troop training . General Paul Harkins , the commander of U.S. forces in South Vietnam , confidently predicted victory by Christmas 1963 . The CIA was less optimistic , however , warning that `` the Viet Cong by and large retain de facto control of much of the countryside and have steadily increased the overall intensity of the effort '' . Paramilitary officers from the CIA 's Special Activities Division trained and led Hmong tribesmen in Laos and into Vietnam . The indigenous forces numbered in the tens of thousands and they conducted direct action missions , led by paramilitary officers , against the Communist Pathet Lao forces and their North Vietnamese supporters . The CIA also ran the Phoenix Program and participated in Military Assistance Command , Vietnam -- Studies and Observations Group ( MAC - V SOG ) , which was originally named the Special Operations Group , but was changed for cover purposes .

Johnson took over the presidency after the death of Kennedy , he had not been heavily involved with policy toward Vietnam , Presidential aide Jack Valenti recalls , `` Vietnam at the time was no bigger than a man 's fist on the horizon . We hardly discussed it because it was not worth discussing . '' Upon becoming president , however , Johnson immediately had to focus on Vietnam : on 24 November 1963 , he said , `` the battle against communism ... must be joined ... with strength and determination . '' The pledge came at a time when the situation in South Vietnam was deteriorating , especially in places like the Mekong Delta , because of the recent coup against Diệm . However , Johnson knew that he had inherited a rapidly deteriorating situation in South Vietnam , believing in the widely accepted arguments that were used for defending the South : Should they retreat or appease , either action would imperil other nations beyond the conflict . The military revolutionary council , meeting in lieu of a strong South Vietnamese leader , was made up of 12 members headed by General Dương Văn Minh -- whom Stanley Karnow , a journalist on the ground , later recalled as `` a model of lethargy '' . Lodge , frustrated by the end of the year , cabled home about Minh : `` Will he be strong enough to get on top of things ? '' His regime was overthrown in January 1964 by General Nguyễn Khánh . However , there was persistent instability in the military as several coups -- not all successful -- occurred in a short period of time . An alleged Viet Cong activist , captured during an attack on an American outpost near the Cambodian border , is interrogated . On 2 August 1964 , the USS Maddox , on an intelligence mission along North Vietnam 's coast , allegedly fired upon and damaged several torpedo boats that had been stalking it in the Gulf of Tonkin . A second attack was reported two days later on the USS Turner Joy and Maddox in the same area . The circumstances of the attack were murky . Lyndon Johnson commented to Undersecretary of State George Ball that `` those sailors out there may have been shooting at flying fish . '' The second attack led to retaliatory air strikes , prompted Congress to approve the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on 7 August 1964 , signed by Johnson , and gave the president power to conduct military operations in Southeast Asia without declaring war . Although Congressmen at the time denied that this was a full - scale war declaration , the Tonkin Resolution allowed the president unilateral power to launch a full - scale war if the president deemed it necessary . In the same month , Johnson pledged that he was not `` committing American boys to fighting a war that I think ought to be fought by the boys of Asia to help protect their own land '' . An undated NSA publication declassified in 2005 , however , revealed that there was no attack on 4 August . It had already been called into question long before this . `` The Gulf of Tonkin incident '' , wrote Louise Gerdes , `` is an oft - cited example of the way in which Johnson misled the American people to gain support for his foreign policy in Vietnam . '' George C. Herring argues , however , that McNamara and the Pentagon `` did not knowingly lie about the alleged attacks , but they were obviously in a mood to retaliate and they seem to have selected from the evidence available to them those parts that confirmed what they wanted to believe . '' `` From a strength of approximately 5,000 at the start of 1959 the Viet Cong 's ranks grew to about 100,000 at the end of 1964 ... Between 1961 and 1964 the Army 's strength rose from about 850,000 to nearly a million men . '' The numbers for U.S. troops deployed to Vietnam during the same period were quite different ; 2,000 in 1961 , rising rapidly to 16,500 in 1964 . By early 1965 , 7,559 South Vietnamese hamlets had been destroyed by the Viet Cong . A Marine from 1st Battalion , 3rd Marines , moves an alleged Viet Cong activist to the rear during a search and clear operation held by the battalion 15 miles ( 24 km ) west of Da Nang Air Base . The National Security Council recommended a three - stage escalation of the bombing of North Vietnam . On 7 February 1965 following an attack on a U.S. Army base in Pleiku , Operation Flaming Dart ( initiated when Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin was on a state visit to North Vietnam ) , Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Arc Light commenced . The bombing campaign , which ultimately lasted three years , was intended to force North Vietnam to cease its support for the Viet Cong by threatening to destroy North Vietnam 's air defenses and industrial infrastructure . As well , it was aimed at bolstering the morale of the South Vietnamese . Between March 1965 and November 1968 , `` Rolling Thunder '' deluged the north with a million tons of missiles , rockets and bombs . Bombing was not restricted to North Vietnam . Other aerial campaigns , such as Operation Commando Hunt , targeted different parts of the Viet Cong and NVA infrastructure . These included the Ho Chi Minh trail supply route , which ran through Laos and Cambodia . The objective of stopping North Vietnam and the Viet Cong was never reached . As Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann noted , `` This is a political war and it calls for discriminate killing . The best weapon ... would be a knife ... The worst is an airplane . '' The Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force Curtis LeMay , however , had long advocated saturation bombing in Vietnam and wrote of the communists that `` we 're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age '' . Escalation and ground War Play media Universal Newsreel film about an attack on U.S. air bases and the U.S. response , 1965 Peasants suspected of being Viet Cong under detention of U.S. army , 1966 Start of Tet Offensive as seen looking north from LZ Betty 's water tower , just south of Quang Tri City Heavily bandaged woman with a tag attached to her arm which reads `` VNC Female '' meaning Vietnamese civilian After several attacks upon them , it was decided that U.S. Air Force bases needed more protection as the South Vietnamese military seemed incapable of providing security . On 8 March 1965 , 3,500 U.S. Marines were dispatched to South Vietnam . This marked the beginning of the American ground war . U.S. public opinion overwhelmingly supported the deployment . In a statement similar to that made to the French almost two decades earlier , Ho Chi Minh warned that if the Americans `` want to make war for twenty years then we shall make war for twenty years . If they want to make peace , we shall make peace and invite them to afternoon tea . '' Some have argued that the policy of North Vietnam was not to topple other non-communist governments in South East Asia . The Marines ' initial assignment was defensive . The first deployment of 3,500 in March 1965 was increased to nearly 200,000 by December . The U.S. military had long been schooled in offensive warfare . Regardless of political policies , U.S. commanders were institutionally and psychologically unsuited to a defensive mission . In December 1964 , ARVN forces had suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Bình Giã , in a battle that both sides viewed as a watershed . Previously , communist forces had utilized hit - and - run guerrilla tactics . However , at Binh Gia , they had defeated a strong ARVN force in a conventional battle . Tellingly , South Vietnamese forces were again defeated in June 1965 at the Battle of Đồng Xoài . U.S. soldiers searching a village for Viet Cong Desertion rates were increasing , and morale plummeted . General William Westmoreland informed Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Jr. , commander of U.S. Pacific forces , that the situation was critical . He said , `` I am convinced that U.S. troops with their energy , mobility , and firepower can successfully take the fight to the NLF ( National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam a.k.a. the Viet Cong ) '' . With this recommendation , Westmoreland was advocating an aggressive departure from America 's defensive posture and the sidelining of the South Vietnamese . By ignoring ARVN units , the U.S. commitment became open - ended . Westmoreland outlined a three - point plan to win the war : Phase 1 . Commitment of U.S. ( and other free world ) forces necessary to halt the losing trend by the end of 1965 . Phase 2 . U.S. and allied forces mount major offensive actions to seize the initiative to destroy guerrilla and organized enemy forces . This phase would end when the enemy had been worn down , thrown on the defensive , and driven back from major populated areas . Phase 3 . If the enemy persisted , a period of twelve to eighteen months following Phase 2 would be required for the final destruction of enemy forces remaining in remote base areas . The plan was approved by Johnson and marked a profound departure from the previous administration 's insistence that the government of South Vietnam was responsible for defeating the guerrillas . Westmoreland predicted victory by the end of 1967 . Johnson did not , however , communicate this change in strategy to the media . Instead he emphasized continuity . The change in U.S. policy depended on matching the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong in a contest of attrition and morale . The opponents were locked in a cycle of escalation . The idea that the government of South Vietnam could manage its own affairs was shelved . Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin with U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson at the Glassboro Summit Conference where the two representatives discussed the possibilities of a peace settlement The one - year tour of duty of American soldiers deprived units of experienced leadership . As one observer noted `` we were not in Vietnam for 10 years , but for one year 10 times . '' As a result , training programs were shortened . South Vietnam was inundated with manufactured goods . As Stanley Karnow writes , `` the main PX ( Post Exchange ) , located in the Saigon suburb of Cholon , was only slightly smaller than the New York Bloomingdale 's ... '' The American buildup transformed the economy and had a profound effect on South Vietnamese society . A huge surge in corruption was witnessed . Washington encouraged its SEATO allies to contribute troops . Australia , New Zealand , South Korea , Thailand , and the Philippines all agreed to send troops . Major allies , however , notably NATO nations Canada and the United Kingdom , declined Washington 's troop requests . The U.S. and its allies mounted complex operations , such as operations Masher , Attleboro , Cedar Falls , and Junction City . However , the communist insurgents remained elusive and demonstrated great tactical flexibility . Meanwhile , the political situation in South Vietnam began to stabilize with the coming to power of prime minister Air Marshal Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and figurehead Chief of State , General Nguyễn Văn Thiệu , in mid-1965 at the head of a military junta . This ended a series of coups that had happened more than once a year . In 1967 , Thieu became president with Ky as his deputy , after rigged elections . Although they were nominally a civilian government , Ky was supposed to maintain real power through a behind - the - scenes military body . However , Thieu outmaneuvered and sidelined Ky by filling the ranks with generals from his faction . Thieu was also accused of murdering Ky loyalists through contrived military accidents . Thieu , mistrustful and indecisive , remained president until 1975 , having won a one - candidate election in 1971 . The Johnson administration employed a `` policy of minimum candor '' in its dealings with the media . Military information officers sought to manage media coverage by emphasizing stories that portrayed progress in the war . Over time , this policy damaged the public trust in official pronouncements . As the media 's coverage of the war and that of the Pentagon diverged , a so - called credibility gap developed . Tet offensive Main article : Tet Offensive A US `` tunnel rat '' soldier prepares to enter a Viet Cong tunnel . In late 1967 the Communists lured American forces into the hinterlands at Đắk Tô and at the Marine Khe Sanh combat base in Quảng Trị Province where the United States was more than willing to fight because it could unleash its massive firepower unimpeded by civilians . However , on 30 January 1968 , the NVA and the Viet Cong broke the truce that traditionally accompanied the Tết ( Lunar New Year ) holiday by launching the largest battle of the war , the Tet Offensive , in the hope of sparking a national uprising . Over 100 cities were attacked by over 85,000 enemy troops including assaults on General Westmoreland 's headquarters and the U.S. Embassy in Saigon . Although the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were initially shocked by the scale of the urban offensive , they responded quickly and effectively , decimating the ranks of the Viet Cong . In the former capital city of Huế , the combined NVA and Viet Cong troops captured the Imperial Citadel and much of the city and massacred over 3,000 unarmed Huế civilians . In the following Battle of Huế American forces employed massive firepower that left 80 percent of the city in ruins . Further north , at Quảng Trị City , members of the 1st Cavalry Division and 1st ARVN Infantry Division killed more than 900 NVA and Vietcong troops in and around the city . In Saigon , 1,000 NLF ( Viet Cong ) fighters fought off 11,000 U.S. and ARVN troops for three weeks . U.S. Marines in Operation Allen Brook in 1968 Across South Vietnam , 1,100 Americans and other allied troops , 2,100 ARVN , 14,000 civilians , and 32,000 NVA and Viet Cong lay dead . But the Tet Offensive had another , unintended consequence . General Westmoreland had become the public face of the war . He had been named Time magazine 's 1965 's Man of the Year and eventually was featured on the magazine 's cover three times . Time described him as `` the sinewy personification of the American fighting man ... ( who ) directed the historic buildup , drew up the battle plans , and infused the ... men under him with his own idealistic view of U.S. aims and responsibilities . '' Six weeks after the Tet Offensive began , `` public approval of his overall performance dropped from 48 percent to 36 percent -- and , more dramatically , endorsement for his handling of the war fell from 40 percent to 26 percent . '' U.S. Marines fighting in Huế A few months earlier , in November 1967 , Westmoreland had spearheaded a public relations drive for the Johnson administration to bolster flagging public support . In a speech before the National Press Club he had said a point in the war had been reached `` where the end comes into view . '' Thus , the public was shocked and confused when Westmoreland 's predictions were trumped by Tet . The American media , which had until then been largely supportive of U.S. efforts , turned on the Johnson administration for what had become an increasing credibility gap . Although the Tet Offensive was a significant victory for allied forces , in terms of casualties and control of territory , it was a sound defeat when evaluated from the point of view of strategic consequences : it became a turning point in America 's involvement in the Vietnam War because it had a profound impact on domestic support for the conflict . Despite the military failure for the Communist forces , the Tet Offensive became a political victory for them and ended the career of president Lyndon B. Johnson , who declined to run for re-election as his approval rating slumped from 48 to 36 percent . As James Witz noted , Tet `` contradicted the claims of progress ... made by the Johnson administration and the military '' . The offensive constituted an intelligence failure on the scale of Pearl Harbor . Journalist Peter Arnett , in a disputed article , quoted an officer he refused to identify , saying of Bến Tre ( laid to rubble by U.S. attacks ) that `` it became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it '' . Viet Cong / NVA killed by U.S. Air Force personnel during a perimeter attack of Tan Son Nhut Air Base during the Tet Offensive Walter Cronkite said in an editorial , `` To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe , in the face of the evidence , the optimists who have been wrong in the past . To suggest we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism . To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic , yet unsatisfactory , conclusion . '' Following Cronkite 's editorial report , President Lyndon Johnson is reported to have said , `` If I 've lost Cronkite , I 've lost Middle America . '' Whether this statement was actually made by Johnson has been called into doubt . Westmoreland became Chief of Staff of the Army in March 1968 , just as all resistance was finally subdued . The move was technically a promotion . However , his position had become untenable because of the offensive and because his request for 200,000 additional troops had been leaked to the media . Westmoreland was succeeded by his deputy Creighton Abrams , a commander less inclined to public media pronouncements . On 10 May 1968 , despite low expectations , peace talks began between the United States and North Vietnam in Paris . Negotiations stagnated for five months , until Johnson gave orders to halt the bombing of North Vietnam . As historian Robert Dallek writes , `` Lyndon Johnson 's escalation of the war in Vietnam divided Americans into warring camps ... cost 30,000 American lives by the time he left office , ( and ) destroyed Johnson 's presidency ... '' His refusal to send more U.S. troops to Vietnam was seen as Johnson 's admission that the war was lost . In effect , Johnson found that the Vietnam War was no easier to prosecute than the Korean war , learning from experience that China was likely to intervene directly if Hanoi 's survival was threatened . Likewise , the Soviet Union would respond by providing more supplies and equipment to raise the cost for U.S. involvement , weakening their defenses in Europe and in the worse case trigger a nuclear confrontation . It can be seen that the refusal was a tacit admission that the war could not be won by escalation , at least not at a cost acceptable to the American people . As Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara noted , `` the dangerous illusion of victory by the United States was therefore dead . '' Vietnam was a major political issue during the United States presidential election in 1968 . The election was won by Republican party candidate Richard Nixon . Vietnamization , 1969 -- 72 Nixon Doctrine / Vietnamization Main article : Vietnamization Propaganda leaflet urging the defection of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese to the side of the Republic of Vietnam U.S. President Richard Nixon began troop withdrawals in 1969 . His plan , called the Nixon Doctrine , was to build up the ARVN , so that they could take over the defense of South Vietnam . The policy became known as `` Vietnamization '' . Nixon said in 1970 in an announcement , `` I am tonight announcing plans for the withdrawal of an additional 150,000 American troops to be completed during the spring of next year . This will bring a total reduction of 265,500 men in our armed forces in Vietnam below the level that existed when we took office 15 months ago . '' On 10 October 1969 , Nixon ordered a squadron of 18 B - 52s loaded with nuclear weapons to race to the border of Soviet airspace to convince the Soviet Union , in accord with the madman theory , that he was capable of anything to end the Vietnam War . Nixon also pursued negotiations . Theater commander Creighton Abrams shifted to smaller operations , aimed at communist logistics , with better use of firepower and more cooperation with the ARVN . Nixon also began to pursue détente with the Soviet Union and rapprochement with China . This policy helped to decrease global tensions . Détente led to nuclear arms reduction on the part of both superpowers . But Nixon was disappointed that China and the Soviet Union continued to supply the North Vietnamese with aid . In September 1969 , Ho Chi Minh died at age seventy - nine . The anti-war movement was gaining strength in the United States . Nixon appealed to the `` silent majority '' of Americans who he said supported the war without showing it in public . But revelations of the My Lai Massacre , in which a U.S. Army platoon raped and killed civilians , and the 1969 `` Green Beret Affair '' where eight Special Forces soldiers , including the 5th Special Forces Group Commander , were arrested for the murder of a suspected double agent provoked national and international outrage . Beginning in 1970 , American troops were withdrawn from border areas where most of the fighting took place , and instead redeployed along the coast and interior , which is one reason why casualties in 1970 were less than half of 1969 's totals . Cambodia and Laos Main articles : Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , Operation Commando Hunt , Laotian Civil War , Cambodian Civil War , and Operation Lam Son 719 Prince Norodom Sihanouk had proclaimed Cambodia neutral since 1955 , but the communists used Cambodian soil as a base and Sihanouk tolerated their presence , because he wished to avoid being drawn into a wider regional conflict . Under pressure from Washington , however , he changed this policy in 1969 . The Vietnamese communists were no longer welcome . President Nixon took the opportunity to launch a massive bombing campaign , called Operation Menu , against communist sanctuaries along the Cambodia / Vietnam border . Only five high - ranking Congressional officials were informed of Operation Menu . In 1970 , Prince Sihanouk was deposed by his pro-American prime minister Lon Nol . North Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1970 at the request of Khmer Rouge deputy leader Nuon Chea . U.S. and ARVN forces launched an invasion into Cambodia to attack NVA and Viet Cong bases . This invasion sparked nationwide U.S. protests as Nixon had promised to deescalate the American involvement . Four students were killed by National Guardsmen at Kent State University during a protest in Ohio , which provoked further public outrage in the United States . The reaction to the incident by the Nixon administration was seen as callous and indifferent , providing additional impetus for the anti-war movement . The U.S. Air Force continued to heavily bomb Cambodia in support of the Cambodian government as part of Operation Freedom Deal . In 1971 the Pentagon Papers were leaked to The New York Times . The top - secret history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam , commissioned by the Department of Defense , detailed a long series of public deceptions on the part of the U.S. government . The Supreme Court ruled that its publication was legal . M41 Walker Bulldog , the main battle tank of the ARVN The ARVN launched Operation Lam Son 719 in February 1971 , aimed at cutting the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos . The ostensibly neutral Laos had long been the scene of a civil war , pitting the Laotian government backed by the US against the Pathet Lao and its North Vietnamese allies . After meeting resistance , ARVN forces retreated in a confused rout . They fled along roads littered with their own dead . When they exhausted fuel supplies , soldiers abandoned their vehicles and attempted to barge their way on to American helicopters sent to evacuate the wounded . Many ARVN soldiers clung to helicopter skids in a desperate attempt to save themselves . U.S. aircraft had to destroy abandoned equipment , including tanks , to prevent them from falling into enemy hands . Half of the ARVN troops involved in the operation were either captured or killed . The operation was a fiasco and represented a clear failure of Vietnamization . As Karnow noted `` the blunders were monumental ... The ( South Vietnamese ) government 's top officers had been tutored by the Americans for ten or fifteen years , many at training schools in the United States , yet they had learned little . '' In 1971 Australia and New Zealand withdrew their soldiers . The U.S. troop count was further reduced to 196,700 , with a deadline to remove another 45,000 troops by February 1972 . As peace protests spread across the United States , disillusionment and ill - discipline grew in the ranks including increased drug use , `` fragging '' ( the act of murdering the commander of a fighting unit ) and desertions . Vietnamization was again tested by the Easter Offensive of 1972 , a massive conventional NVA invasion of South Vietnam . The NVA and Viet Cong quickly overran the northern provinces and in coordination with other forces attacked from Cambodia , threatening to cut the country in half . U.S. troop withdrawals continued . American airpower responded , beginning Operation Linebacker , and the offensive was halted . However , it became clear that without American airpower South Vietnam could not survive . The last remaining American ground troops were withdrawn by the end of March 1973 ; U.S. naval and air forces remained in the Gulf of Tonkin , as well as Thailand and Guam . 1972 election and Paris Peace Accords The war was the central issue of the 1972 U.S. presidential election . Nixon 's opponent , George McGovern , campaigned on a platform of withdrawal from Vietnam . Nixon 's National Security Advisor , Henry Kissinger , continued secret negotiations with North Vietnam 's Lê Đức Thọ . In October 1972 , they reached an agreement . Operation Linebacker II , December 1972 However , South Vietnamese president Thieu demanded massive changes to the peace accord . When North Vietnam went public with the agreement 's details , the Nixon administration claimed that the North was attempting to embarrass the president . The negotiations became deadlocked . Hanoi demanded new changes . To show his support for South Vietnam and force Hanoi back to the negotiating table , Nixon ordered Operation Linebacker II , a massive bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong 18 -- 29 December 1972 . The offensive destroyed much of the remaining economic and industrial capacity of North Vietnam . Simultaneously Nixon pressured Thieu to accept the terms of the agreement , threatening to conclude a bilateral peace deal and cut off American aid . On 15 January 1973 , Nixon announced the suspension of offensive action against North Vietnam . The Paris Peace Accords on `` Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam '' were signed on 27 January 1973 , officially ending direct U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War . A cease - fire was declared across North and South Vietnam . U.S. prisoners of war were released . The agreement guaranteed the territorial integrity of Vietnam and , like the Geneva Conference of 1954 , called for national elections in the North and South . The Paris Peace Accords stipulated a sixty - day period for the total withdrawal of U.S. forces . `` This article '' , noted Peter Church , `` proved ... to be the only one of the Paris Agreements which was fully carried out . '' Exit of the Americans : 1973 -- 75 The United States began drastically reducing their troop support in South Vietnam during the final years of Vietnamization . Many U.S. troops were removed from the region , and on 5 March 1971 , the United States returned the 5th Special Forces Group , which was the first American unit deployed to South Vietnam , to its former base in Fort Bragg , North Carolina . Under the Paris Peace Accords , between North Vietnamese Foreign Minister Lê Đức Thọ and U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger , and reluctantly signed by South Vietnamese president Thiệu , U.S. military forces withdrew from South Vietnam and prisoners were exchanged . North Vietnam was allowed to continue supplying communist troops in the South , but only to the extent of replacing expended materiel . Later that year the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Kissinger and Thọ , but the Vietnamese negotiator declined it saying that a true peace did not yet exist . The communist leaders had expected that the ceasefire terms would favor their side . But Saigon , bolstered by a surge of U.S. aid received just before the ceasefire went into effect , began to roll back the Viet Cong . The communists responded with a new strategy hammered out in a series of meetings in Hanoi in March 1973 , according to the memoirs of Trần Văn Trà . As the Viet Cong 's top commander , Tra participated in several of these meetings . With U.S. bombings suspended , work on the Ho Chi Minh trail and other logistical structures could proceed unimpeded . Logistics would be upgraded until the North was in a position to launch a massive invasion of the South , projected for the 1975 -- 76 dry season . Tra calculated that this date would be Hanoi 's last opportunity to strike before Saigon 's army could be fully trained . Calling for immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam , George McGovern 's 1972 Presidential Campaign lost 49 of 50 states to Richard Nixon . In the November 1972 Election , Democratic nominee George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states to the incumbent President Richard Nixon . On 15 March 1973 , President Nixon implied that the United States would intervene militarily if the communist side violated the ceasefire . Public and congressional reaction to Nixon 's trial balloon was unfavorable and in April Nixon appointed Graham Martin as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam . During his confirmation hearings in June 1973 , Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger stated that he would recommend resumption of U.S. bombing in North Vietnam if North Vietnam launched a major offensive against South Vietnam . On 4 June 1973 , the U.S. Senate passed the Case -- Church Amendment to prohibit such intervention . The oil price shock of October 1973 following the Yom Kippur War in Egypt caused significant damage to the South Vietnamese economy . The Viet Cong resumed offensive operations when the dry season began and by January 1974 it had recaptured the territory it lost during the previous dry season . After two clashes that left 55 South Vietnamese soldiers dead , President Thieu announced on 4 January that the war had restarted and that the Paris Peace Accord was no longer in effect . There had been over 25,000 South Vietnamese casualties during the ceasefire period . Gerald Ford took over as U.S. president on 9 August 1974 after President Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal . At this time , Congress cut financial aid to South Vietnam from $1 billion a year to $700 million . The U.S. midterm elections in 1974 brought in a new Congress dominated by Democrats who were even more determined to confront the president on the war . Congress immediately voted in restrictions on funding and military activities to be phased in through 1975 and to culminate in a total cutoff of funding in 1976 . The success of the 1973 -- 74 dry season offensive inspired Trà to return to Hanoi in October 1974 and plead for a larger offensive in the next dry season . This time , Trà could travel on a drivable highway with regular fueling stops , a vast change from the days when the Ho Chi Minh trail was a dangerous mountain trek . Giáp , the North Vietnamese defense minister , was reluctant to approve Trà 's plan . A larger offensive might provoke a U.S. reaction and interfere with the big push planned for 1976 . Trà appealed over Giáp 's head to first secretary Lê Duẩn , who approved of the operation . Trà 's plan called for a limited offensive from Cambodia into Phước Long Province . The strike was designed to solve local logistical problems , gauge the reaction of South Vietnamese forces , and determine whether U.S. would return to the fray . Recently released American POWs from North Vietnamese prison camps , 1973 On 13 December 1974 , North Vietnamese forces attacked Route 14 in Phước Long Province . Phuoc Binh , the provincial capital , fell on 6 January 1975 . Ford desperately asked Congress for funds to assist and re-supply the South before it was overrun . Congress refused . The fall of Phuoc Binh and the lack of an American response left the South Vietnamese elite demoralized . The speed of this success led the Politburo to reassess its strategy . It was decided that operations in the Central Highlands would be turned over to General Văn Tiến Dũng and that Pleiku should be seized , if possible . Before he left for the South , Dũng was addressed by Lê Duẩn : `` Never have we had military and political conditions so perfect or a strategic advantage as great as we have now . '' At the start of 1975 , the South Vietnamese had three times as much artillery and twice the number of tanks and armored cars as the opposition . They also had 1,400 aircraft and a two - to - one numerical superiority in combat troops over their Communist enemies . However , the rising oil prices meant that much of this could not be used . They faced a well - organized , highly determined and well - funded North Vietnam . Much of the North 's material and financial support came from the communist bloc . Within South Vietnam , there was increasing chaos . The departure of the American military had compromised an economy dependent on U.S. financial support and the presence of a large number of U.S. troops . South Vietnam suffered from the global recession that followed the Arab oil embargo . Campaign 275 See also : 1975 Spring Offensive , Battle of Ban Me Thuot , and Hue -- Da Nang Campaign Captured U.S. - supplied armored vehicles and artillery pieces . On 10 March 1975 , General Dung launched Campaign 275 , a limited offensive into the Central Highlands , supported by tanks and heavy artillery . The target was Buôn Ma Thuột , in Đắk Lắk Province . If the town could be taken , the provincial capital of Pleiku and the road to the coast would be exposed for a planned campaign in 1976 . The ARVN proved incapable of resisting the onslaught , and its forces collapsed on 11 March . Once again , Hanoi was surprised by the speed of their success . Dung now urged the Politburo to allow him to seize Pleiku immediately and then turn his attention to Kon Tum . He argued that with two months of good weather remaining until the onset of the monsoon , it would be irresponsible to not take advantage of the situation . President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu , a former general , was fearful that his forces would be cut off in the north by the attacking communists ; Thieu ordered a retreat . The president declared this to be a `` lighten the top and keep the bottom '' strategy . But in what appeared to be a repeat of Operation Lam Son 719 , the withdrawal soon turned into a bloody rout . While the bulk of ARVN forces attempted to flee , isolated units fought desperately . ARVN General Phu abandoned Pleiku and Kon Tum and retreated toward the coast , in what became known as the `` column of tears '' . As the ARVN tried to disengage from the enemy , refugees mixed in with the line of retreat . The poor condition of roads and bridges , damaged by years of conflict and neglect , slowed Phu 's column . As the North Vietnamese forces approached , panic set in . Often abandoned by the officers , the soldiers and civilians were shelled incessantly . The retreat degenerated into a desperate scramble for the coast . By 1 April the `` column of tears '' was all but annihilated . On 20 March , Thieu reversed himself and ordered Huế , Vietnam 's third - largest city , be held at all costs , and then changed his policy several times . Thieu 's contradictory orders confused and demoralized his officer corps . As the North Vietnamese launched their attack , panic set in , and ARVN resistance withered . On 22 March , the NVA opened the siege of Huế . Civilians flooded the airport and the docks hoping for any mode of escape . Some even swam out to sea to reach boats and barges anchored offshore . In the confusion , routed ARVN soldiers fired on civilians to make way for their retreat . On 25 March , after a three - day battle , Huế fell . As resistance in Huế collapsed , North Vietnamese rockets rained down on Da Nang and its airport . By 28 March 35,000 VPA troops were poised to attack the suburbs . By 30 March 100,000 leaderless ARVN troops surrendered as the NVA marched victoriously through Da Nang . With the fall of the city , the defense of the Central Highlands and Northern provinces came to an end . Final North Vietnamese offensive For more details on the final North Vietnamese offensive , see Ho Chi Minh Campaign . Captured South Vietnamese warplanes in Ho Chi Minh City With the northern half of the country under their control , the Politburo ordered General Dung to launch the final offensive against Saigon . The operational plan for the Ho Chi Minh Campaign called for the capture of Saigon before 1 May . Hanoi wished to avoid the coming monsoon and prevent any redeployment of ARVN forces defending the capital . Northern forces , their morale boosted by their recent victories , rolled on , taking Nha Trang , Cam Ranh , and Da Lat . On 7 April , three North Vietnamese divisions attacked Xuân Lộc , 40 miles ( 64 km ) east of Saigon . The North Vietnamese met fierce resistance at Xuân Lộc from the ARVN 18th Division , who were outnumbered six to one . For two bloody weeks , severe fighting raged as the ARVN defenders made a last stand to try to block the North Vietnamese advance . By 21 April , however , the exhausted garrison were ordered to withdraw towards Saigon . An embittered and tearful president Thieu resigned on the same day , declaring that the United States had betrayed South Vietnam . In a scathing attack , he suggested U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had tricked him into signing the Paris peace agreement two years earlier , promising military aid that failed to materialize . Having transferred power to Trần Văn Hương , he left for Taiwan on 25 April . At the same time , North Vietnamese tanks had reached Biên Hòa and turned toward Saigon , brushing aside isolated ARVN units along the way . By the end of April , the ARVN had collapsed on all fronts except in the Mekong Delta . Thousands of refugees streamed southward , ahead of the main communist onslaught . On 27 April 100,000 North Vietnamese troops encircled Saigon . The city was defended by about 30,000 ARVN troops . To hasten a collapse and foment panic , the NVA shelled the airport and forced its closure . With the air exit closed , large numbers of civilians found that they had no way out . Fall of Saigon Main article : Fall of Saigon Further information : Operation Frequent Wind Victorious NVA troops at the Presidential Palace , Saigon Chaos , unrest , and panic broke out as hysterical South Vietnamese officials and civilians scrambled to leave Saigon . Martial law was declared . American helicopters began evacuating South Vietnamese , U.S. , and foreign nationals from various parts of the city and from the U.S. embassy compound . Operation Frequent Wind had been delayed until the last possible moment , because of U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin 's belief that Saigon could be held and that a political settlement could be reached . Schlesinger announced early in the morning of 29 April 1975 the evacuation from Saigon by helicopter of the last U.S. diplomatic , military , and civilian personnel . Frequent Wind was arguably the largest helicopter evacuation in history . It began on 29 April , in an atmosphere of desperation , as hysterical crowds of Vietnamese vied for limited space . Martin pleaded with Washington to dispatch $700 million in emergency aid to bolster the regime and help it mobilize fresh military reserves . But American public opinion had soured on this conflict . In the United States , South Vietnam was perceived as doomed . President Gerald Ford had given a televised speech on 23 April , declaring an end to the Vietnam War and all U.S. aid . Frequent Wind continued around the clock , as North Vietnamese tanks breached defenses on the outskirts of Saigon . In the early morning hours of 30 April , the last U.S. Marines evacuated the embassy by helicopter , as civilians swamped the perimeter and poured into the grounds . Many of them had been employed by the Americans and were left to their fate . On 30 April 1975 , NVA troops entered the city of Saigon and quickly overcame all resistance , capturing key buildings and installations . A tank from the 324th Division crashed through the gates of the Independence Palace at 11 : 30 am local time and the Viet Cong flag was raised above it . President Dương Văn Minh , who had succeeded Huong two days earlier , surrendered . Black servicemen in Vietnam See also : African - American Civil Rights Movement ( 1954 -- 1968 ) A wounded African American soldier being carried away , 1968 The experience of American military personnel of African origin during the Vietnam War had received significant attention . For example , the website `` African - American Involvement in the Vietnam War '' compiles examples of such coverage , as does the print and broadcast work of journalist Wallace Terry . The epigraph of Terry 's book Bloods : An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans ( 1984 ) , includes the following quote : `` I have an intuitive feeling that the Negro serviceman have a better understanding than whites of what the war is about . '' -- General William C. Westmoreland , U.S. Army , Saigon , 1967 . That book 's introduction includes observations about the impact of the war on the black community in general and on black servicemen specifically . Points he makes on the latter topic include : the higher proportion of combat casualties in Vietnam among African American servicemen than among American soldiers of other races , the shift toward and different attitudes of black military careerists versus black draftees , the discrimination encountered by black servicemen `` on the battlefield in decorations , promotion and duty assignments '' as well as their having to endure `` the racial insults , cross-burnings and Confederate flags of their white comrades '' -- and the experiences faced by black soldiers stateside , during the war and after America 's withdrawal . Upon the war 's completion , black casualties made up 12.5 % of US combat deaths , approximately equal to percentage of draft - eligible black men , though still slightly higher than the 10 % who served in the military . Opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War : 1962 -- 1973 Main article : Opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War Protests against the war in Washington , D.C. on 24 April 1971 Anti-Vietnam War demonstration , 1967 Anti-war protests During the course of the Vietnam War a large segment of the American population came to be opposed to U.S. involvement in South Vietnam . Public opinion steadily turned against the war following 1967 and by 1970 only a third of Americans believed that the U.S. had not made a mistake by sending troops to fight in Vietnam . Nearly a third of the American population were strongly against the war . It is possible to specify certain groups who led the anti-war movement and the reasons why . Many young people protested because they were the ones being drafted while others were against the war because the anti-war movement grew increasingly popular among the counterculture and drug culture in American society and its music . Some advocates within the peace movement advocated a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam . One reason given for the withdrawal is that it would contribute to a lessening of tensions in the region and thus less human bloodshed . Early opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam drew its inspiration from the Geneva Conference of 1954 . American support of Diệm in refusing elections was seen as thwarting the very democracy that America claimed to be supporting . John F. Kennedy , while Senator , opposed involvement in Vietnam . Opposition to the Vietnam War tended to unite groups opposed to U.S. anti-communism and imperialism and , for those involved with the New Left such as the Catholic Worker Movement . Others , such as Stephen Spiro opposed the war based on the theory of Just War . Some wanted to show solidarity with the people of Vietnam , such as Norman Morrison emulating the actions of Thích Quảng Đức . In a key televised debate from 15 May 1965 , Eric Severeid reporting for CBS conducted a debate between McGeorge Bundy and Hans Morgenthau dealing with an acute summary of the main war concerns of the U.S. as seen at that time stating them as : `` ( 1 ) What are the justifications for the American presence in Vietnam -- why are we there ? ( 2 ) What is the fundamental nature of this war ? Is it aggression from North Vietnam or is it basically , a civil war between the peoples of South Vietnam ? ( 3 ) What are the implications of this Vietnam struggle in terms of Communist China 's power and aims and future actions ? And ( 4 ) What are the alternatives to our present policy in Vietnam ? '' High - profile opposition to the Vietnam War turned to street protests in an effort to turn U.S. political opinion . On 15 October 1969 , the Vietnam Moratorium attracted millions of Americans . Riots broke out at the 1968 Democratic National Convention during protests against the war . After news reports of American military abuses such as the 1968 My Lai Massacre , brought new attention and support to the anti-war movement , some veterans joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War . The fatal shooting of four students at Kent State University in 1970 led to nationwide university protests . Anti-war protests ended with the final withdrawal of troops after the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973 . South Vietnam was left to defend itself alone when the fighting resumed . Many South Vietnamese subsequently fled to the United States . Other countries ' involvement Pro-hanoi Ho Chi Minh with East German sailors in Stralsund harbour , 1957 2,000 years of Chinese - Vietnamese enmity and hundreds of years of Chinese and Russian mutual suspicions were suspended when they united against us in Vietnam . -- Richard Holbrooke , 1985 People 's Republic of China In 1950 , the People 's Republic of China extended diplomatic recognition to the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam and sent weapons , as well as military advisers led by Luo Guibo to assist the Viet Minh in its war with the French . The first draft of the 1954 Geneva Accords was negotiated by French prime minister Pierre Mendès France and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai who , fearing U.S. intervention , urged the Viet Minh to accept a partition at the 17th parallel . China 's support for North Vietnam included both financial aid and the deployment of hundreds of thousands of military personnel in support roles . In the summer of 1962 , Mao Zedong agreed to supply Hanoi with 90,000 rifles and guns free of charge . Starting in 1965 , China sent anti-aircraft units and engineering battalions to North Vietnam to repair the damage caused by American bombing , man anti-aircraft batteries , rebuild roads and railroads , transport supplies , and perform other engineering works . This freed North Vietnamese army units for combat in the South . China sent 320,000 troops and annual arms shipments worth $180 million . The Chinese military claims to have caused 38 % of American air losses in the war . China claimed that its military and economic aid to North Vietnam and the Viet Cong totaled $20 billion ( approx . $143 billion adjusted for inflation in 2015 ) during the Vietnam War . Included in that aid were donations of 5 million tons of food to North Vietnam ( equivalent to NV food production in a single year ) , accounting for 10 - 15 % of the North Vietnamese food supply by the 1970s .

In October , the Chinese demanded North Vietnam cut relations with Moscow , but Hanoi refused . The Chinese began to withdraw in November 1968 in preparation for a clash with the Soviets , which occurred at Zhenbao Island in March 1969 . The Chinese also began financing the Khmer Rouge as a counterweight to the Vietnamese communists at this time . China `` armed and trained '' the Khmer Rouge during the civil war and continued to aid them for years afterward . The Khmer Rouge launched ferocious raids into Vietnam in 1975 -- 1978 . When Vietnam responded with an invasion that toppled the Khmer Rouge , China launched a brief , punitive invasion of Vietnam in 1979 . Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev ( left ) was the leader of the Soviet Union during the second half of the Vietnam War . Soviet ships in the South China Sea gave vital early warnings to Viet Cong forces in South Vietnam . The Soviet intelligence ships would pick up American B - 52 bombers flying from Okinawa and Guam . Their airspeed and direction would be noted and then relayed to COSVN , North Vietnam 's southern headquarters . Using airspeed and direction , COSVN analysts would calculate the bombing target and tell any assets to move `` perpendicularly to the attack trajectory . '' These advance warning gave them time to move out of the way of the bombers , and , while the bombing runs caused extensive damage , because of the early warnings from 1968 to 1970 they did not kill a single military or civilian leader in the headquarters complexes . The Soviet Union supplied North Vietnam with medical supplies , arms , tanks , planes , helicopters , artillery , anti-aircraft missiles and other military equipment . Soviet crews fired Soviet - made surface - to - air missiles at U.S. F - 4 Phantoms , which were shot down over Thanh Hóa in 1965 . Over a dozen Soviet citizens lost their lives in this conflict . Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 , Russian officials acknowledged that the Soviet Union had stationed up to 3,000 troops in Vietnam during the war . Some Russian sources give more specific numbers : Between 1953 and 1991 , the hardware donated by the Soviet Union included 2,000 tanks , 1,700 APCs , 7,000 artillery guns , over 5,000 anti-aircraft guns , 158 surface - to - air missile launchers , 120 helicopters . During the war , the Soviets sent North Vietnam annual arms shipments worth $450 million . From July 1965 to the end of 1974 , fighting in Vietnam was observed by some 6,500 officers and generals , as well as more than 4,500 soldiers and sergeants of the Soviet Armed Forces . In addition , Soviet military schools and academies began training Vietnamese soldiers -- in all more than 10,000 military personnel . North Korea As a result of a decision of the Korean Workers ' Party in October 1966 , in early 1967 North Korea sent a fighter squadron to North Vietnam to back up the North Vietnamese 921st and 923rd fighter squadrons defending Hanoi . They stayed through 1968 , and 200 pilots were reported to have served . In addition , at least two anti-aircraft artillery regiments were sent as well . North Korea also sent weapons , ammunition and two million sets of uniforms to their comrades in North Vietnam . Kim Il - sung is reported to have told his pilots to `` fight in the war as if the Vietnamese sky were their own '' . Cuba The contribution to North Vietnam by the Republic of Cuba , under Fidel Castro have been recognized several times by representatives of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam . Fidel Castro mentioned in his discourses the Batallón Girón ( Giron Battalion ) as comprising the Cuban contingent that served as military advisors during the war . In this battalion , alongside the Cubans , fought Nguyễn Thị Định , founding member of the Viet Cong , who later became the first female Major General in the North Vietnamese Army . There are numerous allegations by former U.S. prisoners of war that Cuban military personnel were present at North Vietnamese prison facilities during the war and that they participated in torture activities , in what is known as the `` Cuba Program '' . Witnesses to this include Senator John McCain , 2008 U.S. Presidential candidate and former Vietnam prisoner of war , according to his 1999 book Faith of My Fathers . Benjamin Gilman , a Vietnam War POW / MIA issue advocate , claim evidence that Cuba 's military and non-military involvement may have run into the `` thousands '' of personnel . Fidel Castro visited in person Quảng Trị province , held by North Vietnam after the Easter Offensive to show his support for the Viet Cong . Pro-Saigon South Korea Main article : Military history of South Korea during the Vietnam War Soldiers of the South Korean White Horse Division in Vietnam Vietnamese civilians of Phong Nhi village massacred by South Korean Blue Dragon Brigade in 1968 On the anti-communist side , South Korea ( a.k.a. the Republic of Korea , ROK ) had the second - largest contingent of foreign troops in South Vietnam after the United States . In November 1961 , Park Chung - hee proposed South Korean participation in the war to John F. Kennedy , but Kennedy disagreed . On 1 May 1964 Lyndon Johnson requested South Korean participation . The first South Korean troops began arriving in 1964 and large combat formations began arriving a year later . The ROK Marine Corps dispatched their 2nd Marine Brigade while the ROK Army sent the Capital Division and later the 9th Infantry Division . In August 1966 after the arrival of the 9th Division the Koreans established a corps command , the Republic of Korea Forces Vietnam Field Command , near I Field Force , Vietnam at Nha Trang . The South Koreans soon developed a reputation for effectiveness , reportedly conducting counterinsurgency operations so well that American commanders felt that the South Korean area of responsibility was the safest . Approximately 320,000 South Korean soldiers were sent to Vietnam , each serving a one - year tour of duty . Maximum troop levels peaked at 50,000 in 1968 , however all were withdrawn by 1973 . About 5,099 South Koreans were killed and 10,962 wounded during the war . South Korea claimed to have killed 41,000 Viet Cong fighters . The United States paid South Korean soldiers 236 million dollars for their efforts in Vietnam , and South Korean GNP increased five-fold during the war . Australia and New Zealand Main articles : Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War and New Zealand in the Vietnam War An Australian soldier in Vietnam Australia and New Zealand , close allies of the United States and members of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization ( SEATO ) and the ANZUS military co-operation treaty , sent ground troops to Vietnam . Both nations had gained experience in counterinsurgency and jungle warfare during the Malayan Emergency and World War II . Their governments subscribed to the Domino theory . Australia began by sending advisors to Vietnam in 1962 , and combat troops were committed in 1965 . New Zealand began by sending a detachment of engineers and an artillery battery , and then started sending special forces and regular infantry which were attached to Australian formations . Australia 's peak commitment was 7,672 combat troops and New Zealand 's 552 . More than 60,000 Australian personnel were involved during the course of the war , of which 521 were killed and more than 3,000 wounded . Approximately 3,500 New Zealanders served in Vietnam , with 37 killed and 187 wounded . Most Australians and New Zealanders served in the 1st Australian Task Force in Phước Tuy Province . Philippines Some 10,450 Filipino troops were dispatched to South Vietnam . They were primarily engaged in medical and other civilian pacification projects . These forces operated under the designation PHLCAG - V or Philippine Civic Action Group - Vietnam . More noteworthy was the fact that the naval base in Subic Bay was used for the U.S. Seventh Fleet from 1964 till the end of the war in 1975 . The Navy base in Subic bay and the Air force base at Clark achieved maximum functionality during the war and supported an estimated 80,000 locals in allied tertiary businesses from shoe making to prostitution . Thailand See also : Laotian Civil War The Thai Queen 's Cobra battalion in Phuoc Tho Thai Army formations , including the `` Queen 's Cobra '' battalion , saw action in South Vietnam between 1965 and 1971 . Thai forces saw much more action in the covert war in Laos between 1964 and 1972 , though Thai regular formations there were heavily outnumbered by the irregular `` volunteers '' of the CIA - sponsored Police Aerial Reconnaissance Units or PARU , who carried out reconnaissance activities on the western side of the Ho Chi Minh trail . Republic of China ( Taiwan ) Main article : Republic of China in the Vietnam War Since November 1967 , the Taiwanese government secretly operated a cargo transport detachment to assist the United States and South Vietnam . Taiwan also provided military training units for the South Vietnamese diving units , later known as the Lien Doi Nguoi Nhai ( LDMN ) or `` Frogman unit '' in English . In addition to the diving trainers there were several hundred military personnel . Military commandos from Taiwan were captured by communist forces three times trying to infiltrate North Vietnam . Brazil The Brazilian government of President Castelo Branco officially supported the United States 's position in South Vietnam and contributed a medical team and supplies to the country -- the only Latin American country to do so ( two other Latin American countries -- Nicaragua and Paraguay -- offered to send military forces in support of the United States , but their offers were declined ) . Canada and the ICC Main article : Canada and the Vietnam War Canada , India and Poland constituted the International Control Commission , which was supposed to monitor the 1954 ceasefire agreement . Officially , Canada did not have partisan involvement in the Vietnam War and diplomatically it was `` non-belligerent '' . Victor Levant suggested otherwise in his book Quiet Complicity : Canadian Involvement in the Vietnam War ( 1986 ) . The Vietnam War entry in The Canadian Encyclopedia asserts plainly that Canada 's record on the truce commissions was a pro-Saigon partisan one . United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed races ( FULRO ) Main articles : United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races and FULRO insurgency against Vietnam The ethnic minority peoples of south Vietnam like the Christian Montagnards ( Degar ) , Hindu and Muslim Cham and the Buddhist Khmer Krom banded together in the United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races ( French : Front Uni de Lutte des Races Opprimées , acronym : FULRO ) to fight against the Vietnamese for autonomy or independence . FULRO fought against both the anti-Communist South Vietnamese and the Communist Viet Cong , and then FURLO proceeded to fight against the united Communist Socialist Republic of Vietnam after the fall of South Vietnam . FULRO was supported by China , the United States , Cambodia , and some French citizens . During the war , the South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem began a program to settle ethnic Vietnamese Kinh on Montagnard lands in the Central Highlands region . This provoked a backlash from the Montagnards . The Cambodians under both the pro-China King Sihanouk and the pro-American Lon Nol supported their fellow co-ethnic Khmer Krom in south Vietnam , following an anti - ethnic Vietnamese policy . FULRO was formed from the amalgation of the Cham organization `` Champa Liberation Front '' ( Front de Liberation du Champa FLC ) led by the Cham Muslim officer Les Kosem who served in the Royal Cambodian Army , the Khmer Krom organization `` Liberation Front of Kampuchea Krom '' ( Front de Liberation du Kampuchea Krom FLKK ) led by Chau Dara , a former monk , and the Montagnard organizations `` Central Highlands Liberation Front '' ( Front de Liberation des Hauts Plateaux FLHP ) led by Y Bham Enuol and BAJARAKA . The leaders of FULRO were executed by the Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot when he took power in Cambodia but FULRO insurgents proceeded to fight against the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia and it was not until 1992 that they finally surrendered to the United Nations in Cambodia . War crimes Victims of the My Lai massacre Main articles : List of war crimes § 1954 -- 1975 : Vietnam War , and Vietnam War casualties See also : List of massacres in Vietnam A large number of war crimes took place during the Vietnam War . War crimes were committed by both sides during the conflict and included rape , massacres of civilians , bombings of civilian targets , terrorism , the widespread use of torture and the murder of prisoners of war . Additional common crimes included theft , arson , and the destruction of property not warranted by military necessity . Allied War crimes Main articles : Tiger Force and Vietnam War Crimes Working Group In 1968 , the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group ( VWCWG ) was established by the Pentagon task force set up in the wake of the My Lai Massacre , to attempt to ascertain the veracity of emerging claims of war crimes by U.S. armed forces in Vietnam , during the Vietnam War period . A Viet Cong prisoner captured in 1967 by the U.S. Army awaits interrogation . He has been placed in a stress position by tying a board between his arms . The investigation compiled over 9,000 pages of investigative files , sworn statements by witnesses and status reports for top military officers , indicating that 320 incidents had factual basis . The substantiated cases included 7 massacres between 1967 and 1971 in which at least 137 civilians were killed ; seventy eight further attacks targeting non-combatants resulting in at least 57 deaths , 56 wounded and 15 sexually assaulted ; one hundred and forty - one cases of US soldiers torturing civilian detainees or prisoners of war with fists , sticks , bats , water or electric shock . Over 800 alleged atrocities were investigated , but only 23 soldiers were ever convicted on charges and most served sentences of less than a year . A Los Angeles Times report on the archived files concluded that the war crimes were not confined to a few rogue units , having been uncovered in every army division that was active in Vietnam . During their visits to transit detention facilities under American administration in 1968 and 1969 , the International Red Cross recorded many cases of torture and inhumane treatment before the captives were handed over to South Vietnamese authorities . In 2003 a series of investigative reports by the Toledo Blade uncovered a large number of unreported American war crimes particularly from the Tiger Force unit . The war involved the establishment of numerous free - fire zones by U.S. forces as a tactic to prevent Viet Cong fighters from sheltering in South Vietnamese villages . Such practice , which involved the assumption that any individual appearing in the designated zones was an enemy combatant that could be freely targeted by weapons , is regarded by journalist Lewis M. Simons as `` a severe violation of the laws of war '' . Cases of indiscriminate attacks against civilians within free - fire zones resulting from unsuccessful forced evacuations were frequent . According to political scientist R.J. Rummel , U.S. troops murdered about 6,000 Vietnamese civilians during the war . Nick Turse , in his 2013 book , Kill Anything that Moves , argues that a relentless drive toward higher body counts , a widespread use of free - fire zones , rules of engagement where civilians who ran from soldiers or helicopters could be viewed as Viet Cong , and a widespread disdain for Vietnamese civilians led to massive civilian casualties and endemic war crimes inflicted by U.S. troops . One example cited by Turse is Operation Speedy Express , an operation by the 9th Infantry Division , which was described by John Paul Vann as , in effect , `` many My Lais '' . A report by Newsweek magazine suggested that an estimated 5,000 civilians may have been killed during six months of the operation . In terms of atrocities by the South Vietnamese , during the Diem era ( 1954 -- 1963 ) R.J. Rummel estimated that 16,000 to 167,000 South Vietnamese civilians were killed in democide ; for 1964 to 1975 , Rummel estimated a total of 42,000 to 128,000 killed in democide . Thus , the total for 1954 to 1975 is from 57,000 to 284,000 deaths caused by South Vietnam , excluding NLF / North Vietnamese forces killed by the South Vietnamese armed forces . Torture and ill - treatment were frequently applied by the South Vietnamese to POWs as well as civilian prisoners . During their visit to the Con Son Prison in 1970 , U.S. Congressmen Augustus F. Hawkins and William R. Anderson witnessed detainees either confined in minute `` tiger cages '' or chained to their cells , and provided with poor - quality food . A group of American doctors inspecting the prison in the same year found many inmates suffering symptoms resulting from forced immobility and torture . Red Cross reports after the war showed connections of U.S. advisors with the torture at POW camps . South Korean forces were also accused of war crimes as well . One documented event was the Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre where the 2nd Marine Brigade of the South Korean Army purportedly killed 69 - 79 civilians on 12 February 1968 in Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất village , Điện Bàn District of Quảng Nam Province in South Vietnam . South Korean forces are also accused of perpetrating other massacres , namely : Bình Hòa massacre , Binh Tai Massacre and Hà My massacre . North Vietnamese , Viet Cong , and Khmer Rouge War crimes Main article : Viet Cong and PAVN strategy , organization and structure § VC / NVA use of terror Victims of the Huế Massacre According to Guenter Lewy , the Viet Cong assassinated about 36,725 South Vietnamese between 1957 and 1972 . Statistics for 1968 -- 72 suggest that `` about 80 percent of the terrorist victims were ordinary civilians and only about 20 percent were government officials , policemen , members of the self - defence forces or pacification cadres . '' Ami Pedahzur has written that `` the overall volume and lethality of Viet Cong terrorism rivals or exceeds all but a handful of terrorist campaigns waged over the last third of the twentieth century '' . Notable Viet Cong atrocities include the massacre of over 3,000 unarmed civilians at Huế during the Tet Offensive and the incineration of hundreds of civilians at the Đắk Sơn massacre with flamethrowers . Up to 155,000 refugees fleeing the final North Vietnamese Spring Offensive were killed or abducted on the road to Tuy Hòa in 1975 . According to Rummel , North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops murdered between 106,000 and 227,000 civilians in South Vietnam . North Vietnam was also known for its inhumane and abusive treatment of American POWs , most notably in Hỏa Lò Prison ( aka the Hanoi Hilton ) , where severe torture was employed to extract `` confessions '' . According to a U.S. Senate report , squads were assigned monthly assassination quotas . Peer De Silva , former head of the Saigon department of the CIA , wrote that from as early as 1963 , Viet Cong units were using disembowelment and other methods of mutilation for the purpose of waging psychological warfare . In the Cambodian Civil War , Khmer Rouge insurgents reportedly committed atrocities during the war . These include the murder of civilians and POWs by slowly sawing off their heads a little more each day , the destruction of Buddhist wats and the killing of monks , attacks on refugee camps involving the deliberate murder of babies and bomb threats against foreign aid workers , the abduction and assassination of journalists , and the shelling of Phnom Penh for more than a year . Journalist accounts stated that the Khmer Rouge shelling `` tortured the capital almost continuously '' , inflicting `` random death and mutilation '' on 2 million trapped civilians . The Khmer Rouge forcibly evacuated the entire city after taking it , in what has been described as a death march : François Ponchaud wrote : `` I shall never forget one cripple who had neither hands nor feet , writhing along the ground like a severed worm , or a weeping father carrying his ten - year old daughter wrapped in a sheet tied around his neck like a sling , or the man with his foot dangling at the end of a leg to which it was attached by nothing but skin '' ; John Swain recalled that the Khmer Rouge were `` tipping out patients from the hospitals like garbage into the streets ... In five years of war , this is the greatest caravan of human misery I have seen . '' Women in the Vietnam War American nurses Da Nang , South Vietnam , 1968 During the Vietnam War , American women served on active duty doing a variety of jobs . Early in 1963 , the Army Nurse Corps ( ANC ) launched Operation Nightingale , an intensive effort to recruit nurses to serve in Vietnam . Most nurses who volunteered to serve in Vietnam came from predominantly working or middle - class families with histories of military service . The majority of these women were white Catholics and Protestants . Because the need for medical aid was great , many nurses underwent a concentrated four - month training program before being deployed to Vietnam in the ANC . Due to the shortage of staff , nurses usually worked twelve - hour shifts , six days per week and often suffered from exhaustion . First Lieutenant Sharon Lane was the only female military nurse to be killed by enemy gunfire during the war , on 8 June 1969 . A nurse treats a Vietnamese child , 1967 At the start of the Vietnam War , it was commonly thought that American women had no place in the military . Their traditional place had been in the domestic sphere , but with the war came opportunity for the expansion of gender roles . In Vietnam , women held a variety of jobs which included operating complex data processing equipment and serving as stenographers . Although a small number of women were assigned to combat zones , they were never allowed directly in the field of battle . The women who served in the military were solely volunteers . They faced a plethora of challenges , one of which was the relatively small number of female soldiers . Living in a male - dominated environment created tensions between the sexes . While this high male to female ratio was often uncomfortable for women , many men reported that having women in the field with them boosted their morale . Although this was not the women 's purpose , it was one positive result of their service . By 1973 , approximately 7,500 women had served in Vietnam in the Southeast Asian theater . In that same year , the military lifted the prohibition on women entering the armed forces . American women serving in Vietnam were subject to societal stereotypes . Many Americans either considered females serving in Vietnam masculine for living under the army discipline , or judged them to be women of questionable moral character who enlisted for the sole purpose of seducing men . To address this problem , the ANC released advertisements portraying women in the ANC as `` proper , professional and well protected . '' ( 26 ) This effort to highlight the positive aspects of a nursing career reflected the ideas of second - wave feminism that occurred during the 1960s -- 1970s in the United States . Although female military nurses lived in a heavily male environment , very few cases of sexual harassment were ever reported . Vietnamese women Master - Sergeant and pharmacist Do Thi Trinh , part of the WAFC , supplying medication to ARVN dependents Unlike the American women who went to Vietnam , North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone as well as providing manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open and cook for the soldiers . They also worked in the rice fields in North Vietnam and Viet Cong - held farming areas in South Vietnam 's Mekong Delta region to provide food for their families and the war effort . Women were enlisted in both the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) and the Viet Cong guerrilla insurgent force in South Vietnam . Some women also served for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong intelligence services . In South Vietnam , many women voluntarily served in the ARVN 's Women 's Armed Force Corps ( WAFC ) and various other Women 's corps in the military . Some , like in the WAFC , fought in combat with other soldiers . Others served as nurses and doctors in the battlefield and in military hospitals , or served in South Vietnam or America 's intelligence agencies . During Diệm 's presidency , Madame Nhu was the commander of the WAFC . The war saw more than one million rural people migrate or flee the fighting in the South Vietnamese countryside to the cities , especially Saigon . Among the internal refugees were many young women who became the ubiquitous `` bargirls '' of wartime South Vietnam `` hawking her wares -- be that cigarettes , liquor , or herself '' to American and allied soldiers . American bases were ringed by bars and brothels . 8,040 Vietnamese women came to the United States as war brides between 1964 and 1975 . Many mixed - blood Amerasian children were left behind when their American fathers returned to the United States after their tour of duty in South Vietnam . 26,000 of them were permitted to immigrate to the United States in the 1980s and 1990s . Weapons Main article : Weapons of the Vietnam War Marines complete construction of M101 howitzer positions at a mountain - top fire support base , 1968 The communist forces were principally armed with Chinese and Soviet weaponry though some guerrilla units were equipped with Western infantry weapons either captured from French stocks during the First Indochina war or from ARVN units or bought on the black market . The ubiquitous Soviet AK - 47 assault rifle was often regarded as the best rifle of the war , due to its ability to continue to function even in adverse , muddy conditions . Other weapons used by the Viet Cong included the World War II - era PPSh - 41 submachine gun ( both Soviet and Chinese versions ) , the SKS carbine , the RPD light machine gun , the DShK heavy machine gun and the RPG - 2 / B - 40 grenade launcher . While the Viet Cong had both amphibious tanks ( such as the PT - 76 ) and light tanks ( such as the Type 62 ) , they also used bicycles to transport munitions . The US ' heavily armored , 90 mm M48A3 Patton tank saw extensive action during the Vietnam War and over 600 were deployed with US Forces . They played an important role in infantry support . The US service rifle was initially the M14 ( though some units were still using the WWII - era M1 Garand for a lack of M14s ) . Found to be unsuitable for jungle warfare , the M14 was replaced by M16 which was more accurate and lighter than the AK - 47 . For a period , the gun suffered from a jamming flaw known as `` failure to extract '' , which means that a spent cartridge case remained lodged in the action after a round is fired . According to a congressional report , the jamming was caused primarily by a change in gunpowder which was done without adequate testing and reflected a decision for which the safety of soldiers was a secondary consideration . That issue was solved in early 1968 with the issuance of the M16A1 that featured a chrome plated chamber among several other features . End - user satisfaction with the M16 was high except during this episode , but the M16 still has a reputation as a gun that jams easily . The M60 machine gun GPMG ( General Purpose Machine Gun ) was the main machine gun of the US army at the time and many of them were put on helicopters , to provide suppressive fire when landing in hostile regions . The MAC - 10 machine pistol was supplied to many special forces troops in the midpoint of the war . It also armed many CIA agents in the field . UH - 1D helicopters airlift members of a U.S. infantry regiment , 1966 Two aircraft which were prominent in the war were the AC - 130 `` Spectre '' Gunship and the UH - 1 `` Huey '' gunship . The AC - 130 was a heavily armed ground - attack aircraft variant of the C - 130 Hercules transport plane ; it was used to provide close air support , air interdiction and force protection . The AC - 130H `` Spectre '' was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons , one Bofors 40mm autocannon , and one 105 mm M102 howitzer . The Huey is a military helicopter powered by a single , turboshaft engine , with a two - bladed main rotor and tail rotor . Approximately 7,000 UH - 1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam . The Claymore M18A1 , an anti-personnel mine , was widely used during the war . Unlike a conventional land mine , the Claymore is command - detonated and directional , meaning it is fired by remote - control and shoots a pattern of 700 one - eighth - inch steel balls into the kill zone like a shotgun . The aircraft ordnance used during the war included precision - guided munition , cluster bombs , and napalm , a thickening / gelling agent generally mixed with petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device , initially against buildings and later primarily as an anti-personnel weapon that sticks to skin and can burn down to the bone . Radio communications The Vietnam War was the first conflict where U.S. forces had secure voice communication equipment available at the tactical level . The National Security Agency ran a crash program to provide U.S. forces with a family of security equipment code named NESTOR , fielding 17,000 units initially . Eventually 30,000 units were produced . However limitations of the units , including poor voice quality , reduced range , annoying time delays and logistical support issues led to only one unit in ten being used . While many in the U.S. military believed that the Viet Cong and NVA would not be able to exploit insecure communications , interrogation of captured communication intelligence units showed they were able to understand the jargon and codes used in realtime and were often able to warn their side of impending U.S. actions . Extent of U.S. bombing Bombs being dropped by the B - 52 Stratofortress long - range strategic bomber See also : Operation Rolling Thunder , Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , and CIA activities in Laos The U.S. dropped over 7 million tons of bombs on Indochina during the war -- more than triple the 2.1 million tons of bombs the U.S. dropped on Europe and Asia during all of World War II , and more than ten times the amount dropped by the U.S. during the Korean War . 500 thousand tons were dropped on Cambodia , 1 million tons were dropped on North Vietnam , and 4 million tons were dropped on South Vietnam . On a per capita basis , the 2 million tons dropped on Laos make it the most heavily bombed country in history ; The New York Times noted this was `` nearly a ton for every person in Laos . '' In Laos alone , some 80 million bombs failed to explode and remain scattered throughout the country , rendering vast swathes of land impossible to cultivate and killing or maiming 50 Laotians every year . Former U.S. Air Force official Earl Tilford has recounted `` repeated bombing runs of a lake in central Cambodia . The B - 52s literally dropped their payloads in the lake '' : The Air Force ran many missions of this kind for the purpose of securing additional funding during budget negotiations , so the amount of tonnage expended does not directly correlate with the resulting damage . Aftermath Events in Southeast Asia Further information : Mayaguez incident and Indochina refugee crisis Vietnamese refugees fleeing Vietnam , 1984 On 2 July 1976 , North and South Vietnam were merged to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam . Despite speculation that the victorious North Vietnamese would , in President Nixon 's words , `` massacre the civilians there ( South Vietnam ) by the millions , '' there is a widespread consensus that no mass executions in fact took place . However , in the years following the end of the war , up to 300,000 South Vietnamese were sent to reeducation camps ( not including `` dissidents detained in the many prisons of Vietnam '' ) , where many endured torture , starvation , and disease while being forced to perform hard labor . In addition , 200,000 to 400,000 Vietnamese boat people died at sea , according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees . Phnom Penh , the capital of Cambodia , fell to the communist Khmer Rouge on 17 April 1975 . Under the leadership of Pol Pot , the Khmer Rouge would eventually kill 1 -- 3 million Cambodians out of a population of around 8 million , in one of the bloodiest genocides in history . An estimated 1,386,734 victims of execution have been counted in mass graves , while demographic analysis suggests that the policies of the regime caused between 1.7 and 2.5 million excess deaths altogether ( including disease and starvation ) . After repeated border clashes in 1978 , Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea ( Cambodia ) and ousted the Khmer Rouge , who were being supported by China , in the Cambodian -- Vietnamese War . In response , China invaded Vietnam in 1979 . The two countries fought a brief border war , known as the Sino - Vietnamese War . From 1978 to 1979 , some 450,000 ethnic Chinese left Vietnam by boat as refugees or were expelled . The devastating impact of Khmer Rouge rule contributed to a 1979 famine in Cambodia , during which an additional 300,000 Cambodians perished . The Pathet Lao overthrew the monarchy of Laos in December 1975 , establishing the Lao People 's Democratic Republic under the leadership of a member of the royal family , Souphanouvong . The change in regime was `` quite peaceful , a sort of Asiatic ' velvet revolution ' '' -- although 30,000 former officials were sent to reeducation camps , often enduring harsh conditions for several years . The conflict between Hmong rebels and the Pathet Lao continued in isolated pockets . Over 3 million people left Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia in the Indochina refugee crisis . Most Asian countries were unwilling to accept these refugees , many of whom fled by boat and were known as boat people . Between 1975 and 1998 , an estimated 1.2 million refugees from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries resettled in the United States , while Canada , Australia , and France resettled over 500,000 . China accepted 250,000 people . Of all the countries of Indochina , Laos experienced the largest refugee flight in proportional terms , as 300,000 people out of a total population of 3 million crossed the border into Thailand . Included among their ranks were `` about 90 percent '' of Laos 's `` intellectuals , technicians , and officials . '' In 1988 , Vietnam suffered a famine that afflicted millions . Vietnam retained its pro-Soviet orientation after the war and remained an important ally of the USSR in the region . Agent Orange and similar chemical substances used by the U.S. have also caused a considerable number of deaths and injuries over the years , including the US Air Force crew that handled them . On 9 August 2012 , the United States and Vietnam began a cooperative cleaning up of the toxic chemical on part of Danang International Airport , marking the first time Washington has been involved in cleaning up Agent Orange in Vietnam . Effect on the United States United States expenditures in South Vietnam ( SVN ) ( 1953 -- 1974 ) Direct costs only . Some estimates are higher . U.S. military costs U.S. military aid to SVN U.S. economic aid to SVN Total Total ( 2015 dollars ) $111 billion $16.138 billion $7.315 billion $134.53 billion $1.020 trillion Vietnam War protests at the Pentagon , October 1967 In the post-war era , Americans struggled to absorb the lessons of the military intervention . As General Maxwell Taylor , one of the principal architects of the war , noted , `` First , we did n't know ourselves . We thought that we were going into another Korean War , but this was a different country . Secondly , we did n't know our South Vietnamese allies ... And we knew less about North Vietnam . Who was Ho Chi Minh ? Nobody really knew . So , until we know the enemy and know our allies and know ourselves , we 'd better keep out of this kind of dirty business . It 's very dangerous . '' President Ronald Reagan coined the term `` Vietnam Syndrome '' to describe the reluctance of the American public and politicians to support further international interventions after Vietnam . Some have suggested that `` the responsibility for the ultimate failure of this policy ( America 's withdrawal from Vietnam ) lies not with the men who fought , but with those in Congress ... '' Alternatively , the official history of the United States Army noted that `` tactics have often seemed to exist apart from larger issues , strategies , and objectives . Yet in Vietnam the Army experienced tactical success and strategic failure ... The ... Vietnam War ... legacy may be the lesson that unique historical , political , cultural , and social factors always impinge on the military ... Success rests not only on military progress but on correctly analyzing the nature of the particular conflict , understanding the enemy 's strategy , and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of allies . A new humility and a new sophistication may form the best parts of a complex heritage left to the Army by the long , bitter war in Vietnam . '' A young Marine private waits on the beach during the Marine landing , Da Nang , 3 August 1965 U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote in a secret memo to President Gerald Ford that `` in terms of military tactics , we can not help draw the conclusion that our armed forces are not suited to this kind of war . Even the Special Forces who had been designed for it could not prevail . '' Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara concluded that `` the achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion . '' Doubts surfaced as to the effectiveness of large - scale , sustained bombing . As Army Chief of Staff Harold Keith Johnson noted , `` if anything came out of Vietnam , it was that air power could n't do the job . '' Even General William Westmoreland admitted that the bombing had been ineffective . As he remarked , `` I still doubt that the North Vietnamese would have relented . '' The inability to bring Hanoi to the bargaining table by bombing also illustrated another U.S. miscalculation . The North 's leadership was composed of hardened communists who had been fighting for thirty years . They had defeated the French , and their tenacity as both nationalists and communists was formidable . Ho Chi Minh is quoted as saying , `` You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours ... But even at these odds you will lose and I will win . '' Marine gets his wounds treated during operations in Huế City , 1968 The Vietnam War called into question the U.S. Army doctrine . Marine Corps General Victor H. Krulak heavily criticised Westmoreland 's attrition strategy , calling it `` wasteful of American lives ... with small likelihood of a successful outcome . '' In addition , doubts surfaced about the ability of the military to train foreign forces . Between 1953 and 1975 , the United States spent $168 billion on the war ( $1.02 trillion in FY2015 dollars ) . This resulted in a large federal budget deficit . More than 3 million Americans served in the Vietnam War , some 1.5 million of whom actually saw combat in Vietnam . James E. Westheider wrote that `` At the height of American involvement in 1968 , for example , there were 543,000 American military personnel in Vietnam , but only 80,000 were considered combat troops . '' Conscription in the United States had been controlled by the president since World War II , but ended in 1973 . By war 's end , 58,220 American soldiers had been killed , more than 150,000 had been wounded , and at least 21,000 had been permanently disabled . The average age of the U.S. troops killed in Vietnam was 23.11 years . According to Dale Kueter , `` Of those killed in combat , 86.3 percent were white , 12.5 percent were black and the remainder from other races . '' Approximately 830,000 Vietnam veterans suffered some degree of posttraumatic stress disorder . An estimated 125,000 Americans left for Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft , and approximately 50,000 American servicemen deserted . In 1977 , United States president Jimmy Carter granted a full and unconditional pardon to all Vietnam - era draft dodgers . The Vietnam War POW / MIA issue , concerning the fate of U.S. service personnel listed as missing in action , persisted for many years after the war 's conclusion . The costs of the war loom large in American popular consciousness ; a 1990 poll showed that the public incorrectly believed that more Americans lost their lives in Vietnam than in World War II . As of 2013 , the U.S. government is paying Vietnam veterans and their families or survivors more than $22 billion a year in war - related claims . Impact on the U.S. military As the Vietnam War continued inconclusively and became more unpopular with the American public , morale declined and disciplinary problems grew among American enlisted men and junior , non-career officers . Drug use , racial tensions , and the growing incidence of fragging -- attempting to kill unpopular officers and non-commissioned officers with grenades or other weapons -- created severe problems for the U.S. military and impacted its capability of undertaking combat operations . By 1971 , a U.S. Army colonel writing in the Armed Forces Journal declared : `` By every conceivable indicator , our army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse , with individual units avoiding or having refused combat , murdering their officers and non commissioned officers , drug - ridden , and dispirited where not near mutinous ... The morale , discipline , and battleworthiness of the U.S. Armed Forces are , with a few salient exceptions , lower and worse than at any time in this century and possibly in the history of the United States . '' Between 1969 and 1971 the US Army recorded more than 700 attacks by troops on their own officers . Eighty - three officers were killed and almost 650 were injured . Ron Milam has questioned the severity of the `` breakdown '' of the U.S. armed forces , especially among combat troops , as reflecting the opinions of `` angry colonels '' who deplored the erosion of traditional military values during the Vietnam War . Although acknowledging serious problems , he questions the alleged `` near mutinous '' conduct of junior officers and enlisted men in combat . Investigating one combat refusal incident , a journalist declared , `` A certain sense of independence , a reluctance to behave according to the military 's insistence on obedience , like pawns or puppets ... The grunts ( infantrymen ) were determined to survive ... they insisted of having something to say about the making of decisions that determined whether they might live or die . '' The morale and discipline problems and resistance to conscription ( the draft ) were important factors leading to the creation of an all - volunteer military force by the United States and the termination of conscription . The last conscript was inducted into the army in 1973 . The all - volunteer military moderated some of the coercive methods of discipline previously used to maintain order in military ranks . Effects of U.S. chemical defoliation U.S. helicopter spraying chemical defoliants in the Mekong Delta , South Vietnam , 1969 One of the most controversial aspects of the U.S. military effort in Southeast Asia was the widespread use of chemical defoliants between 1961 and 1971 . They were used to defoliate large parts of the countryside to prevent the Viet Cong from being able to hide their weapons and encampments under the foliage . These chemicals continue to change the landscape , cause diseases and birth defects , and poison the food chain . Early in the American military effort , it was decided that since the enemy were hiding their activities under triple - canopy jungle , a useful first step might be to defoliate certain areas . This was especially true of growth surrounding bases ( both large and small ) in what became known as Operation Ranch Hand . Corporations like Dow Chemical Company and Monsanto were given the task of developing herbicides for this purpose . American officials also pointed out that the British had previously used 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2 , 4 - D ( virtually identical to America 's use in Vietnam ) on a large scale throughout the Malayan Emergency in the 1950s in order to destroy bushes , crops , and trees in effort to deny communist insurgents the concealment they needed to ambush passing convoys . Indeed , Secretary of State Dean Rusk told President John F. Kennedy on 24 November 1961 that `` ( t ) he use of defoliant does not violate any rule of international law concerning the conduct of chemical warfare and is an accepted tactic of war . Precedent has been established by the British during the emergency in Malaya in their use of aircraft for destroying crops by chemical spraying . '' The defoliants , which were distributed in drums marked with color - coded bands , included the `` Rainbow Herbicides '' -- Agent Pink , Agent Green , Agent Purple , Agent Blue , Agent White , and , most famously , Agent Orange , which included dioxin as a by - product of its manufacture . About 11 -- 12 million gallons ( 41.6 -- 45.4 million L ) of Agent Orange were sprayed over southern Vietnam between 1961 and 1971 . A prime area of Ranch Hand operations was in the Mekong Delta , where the U.S. Navy patrol boats were vulnerable to attack from the undergrowth at the water 's edge . In 1961 and 1962 , the Kennedy administration authorized the use of chemicals to destroy rice crops . Between 1961 and 1967 , the U.S. Air Force sprayed 20 million U.S. gallons ( 75,700,000 L ) of concentrated herbicides over 6 million acres ( 24,000 km ) of crops and trees , affecting an estimated 13 % of South Vietnam 's land . In 1965 , 42 % of all herbicide was sprayed over food crops . Another purpose of herbicide use was to drive civilian populations into RVN - controlled areas . Vietnamese victims affected by Agent Orange attempted a class action lawsuit against Dow Chemical and other US chemical manufacturers , but District Court Judge Jack B. Weinstein dismissed their case . They appealed , but the dismissal was cemented in February 2008 by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit . As of 2006 , the Vietnamese government estimates that there are over 4,000,000 victims of dioxin poisoning in Vietnam , although the United States government denies any conclusive scientific links between Agent Orange and the Vietnamese victims of dioxin poisoning . In some areas of southern Vietnam , dioxin levels remain at over 100 times the accepted international standard . The U.S. Veterans Administration has listed prostate cancer , respiratory cancers , multiple myeloma , Diabetes mellitus type 2 , B - cell lymphomas , soft - tissue sarcoma , chloracne , porphyria cutanea tarda , peripheral neuropathy , and spina bifida in children of veterans exposed to Agent Orange .

After 1975 7 n.a. Total 58,220 > 254,256 Estimates of the number of casualties vary , with one source suggesting up to 3.8 million violent war deaths in Vietnam for the period 1955 to 2002 . Between 195,000 and 430,000 South Vietnamese civilians died in the war . Extrapolating from a 1969 US intelligence report , Guenter Lewy estimated 65,000 North Vietnamese civilians died in the war . Estimates of civilian deaths caused by American bombing of North Vietnam in Operation Rolling Thunder range from 52,000 to 182,000 . The military forces of South Vietnam suffered an estimated 254,256 killed between 1960 and 1974 and additional deaths from 1954 to 1959 and in 1975 . The official US Department of Defense figure was 950,765 communist forces killed in Vietnam from 1965 to 1974 . Defense Department officials believed that these body count figures need to be deflated by 30 percent . In addition , Guenter Lewy assumes that one - third of the reported `` enemy '' killed may have been civilians , concluding that the actual number of deaths of communist military forces was probably closer to 444,000 . It was difficult to distinguish between civilians and military personnel on the Viet Cong side as many persons were part - time guerrillas or impressed laborers who did not wear uniforms . A detailed demographic study calculated 791,000 -- 1,141,000 war - related deaths for all of Vietnam . According to figures released by the Vietnamese government in 1995 , there were 1,100,000 North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong military personnel deaths during the Vietnam War ( including the missing ) . The Vietnamese government released its estimate of war deaths for the more lengthy period of 1955 to 1975 . According to the Vietnamese , Communist battle deaths totaled 1.1 million and civilian deaths of Vietnamese totaled 2.0 million . These estimates probably include battle deaths of Vietnamese soldiers in Laos and Cambodia , but do not include deaths of South Vietnamese and allied soldiers which would add nearly 300,000 for a grand total of 3.4 million military and civilian dead . Between 240,000 and 300,000 Cambodians died during the war . 20,000 - 62,000 Laotians also died , and 58,300 U.S. military personnel were killed , of which 1,596 are still listed as missing as of 2015 . Unexploded ordnance , mostly from U.S. bombing , continue to detonate and kill people today . According to the Vietnamese government , ordnance has killed some 42,000 people since the war officially ended . According to the government of Laos , unexploded ordnance has killed or injured over 20,000 Laotians since the end of the war . In popular culture See also : Vietnam War in film , Vietnam War in games , and War in popular culture The Vietnam War has been featured extensively in television , film , video games , and literature in the participant countries . In American popular culture , the `` Crazy Vietnam Veteran '' , who was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder , became a common stock character after the war . One of the first major films based on the Vietnam War was John Wayne 's pro-war film , The Green Berets ( 1968 ) . Further cinematic representations were released during the 1970s and 1980s , including Michael Cimino 's The Deer Hunter ( 1978 ) , Francis Ford Coppola 's Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) , Oliver Stone 's Platoon ( 1986 ) -- based on his service in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War , Stanley Kubrick 's Full Metal Jacket ( 1987 ) , Hamburger Hill ( 1987 ) , and Casualties of War ( 1989 ) . Later films would include We Were Soldiers ( 2002 ) and Rescue Dawn ( 2007 ) . The war also influenced a generation of musicians and songwriters in Vietnam and the United States , both anti-war and pro / anti-communist . The band Country Joe and the Fish recorded `` I - Feel - Like - I 'm - Fixin ' - To - Die Rag '' / The `` Fish '' Cheer in 1965 , and it became one of the most influential anti-Vietnam protest anthems . Many songwriters and musicians supported the anti-war movement , including Pete Seeger , Joan Baez , Peggy Seeger , Ewan MacColl , Barbara Dane , The Critics Group , Phil Ochs , John Lennon , Nina Simone , Neil Young , Tom Paxton , Jimmy Cliff and Arlo Guthrie . Commemoration On May 25 , 2012 , President Barack Obama issued a proclamation of the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War . On November 10 , 2017 , President Donald Trump issued a proclamantion commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War .

In 1998 , after a high level review by the Department of Defense ( DoD ) and through the efforts of Richard B. Fitzgibbon 's family the start date of the Vietnam War according to the US government was officially changed to 1 November 1955 . U.S. government reports currently cite 1 November 1955 as the commencement date of the `` Vietnam Conflict '' , because this date marked when the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group ( MAAG ) in Indochina ( deployed to Southeast Asia under President Truman ) was reorganized into country - specific units and MAAG Vietnam was established . Other start dates include when Hanoi authorized Viet Cong forces in South Vietnam to begin a low - level insurgency in December 1956 , whereas some view 26 September 1959 when the first battle occurred between the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese army , as the start date . ^ Jump up to : The figures of 58,220 and 303,644 for U.S. deaths and wounded come from the Department of Defense Statistical Information Analysis Division ( SIAD ) , Defense Manpower Data Center , as well as from a Department of Veterans fact sheet dated May 2010 ; the total is 153,303 WIA excluding 150,341 persons not requiring hospital care the CRS ( Congressional Research Service ) Report for Congress , American War and Military Operations Casualties : Lists and Statistics , dated 26 February 2010 , and the book Crucible Vietnam : Memoir of an Infantry Lieutenant .

The Tunku had been personally responsible for Malaya 's partisan support of the South Vietnamese regime in its fight against the Vietcong and , in reply to a Parliamentary question on 6 February 1962 , he had listed all the used weapons and equipment of the Royal Malaya Police given to Saigon . These included a total of 45,707 single - barrel shotguns , 611 armoured cars and smaller numbers of carbines and pistols . Writing in 1975 , he revealed that `` we had clandestinely been giving ' aid ' to Vietnam since early 1958 . Published American archival sources now reveal that the actual Malaysian contributions to the war effort in Vietnam included the following : `` over 5,000 Vietnamese officers trained in Malaysia ; training of 150 U.S. soldiers in handling Tracker Dogs ; a rather impressive list of military equipment and weapons given to Viet - Nam after the end of the Malaysian insurgency ( for example , 641 armored personnel carriers , 56,000 shotguns ) ; and a creditable amount of civil assistance ( transportation equipment , cholera vaccine , and flood relief ) '' . It is undeniable that the Government 's policy of supporting the South Vietnamese regime with arms , equipment and training was regarded by some quarters , especially the Opposition parties , as a form of interfering in the internal affairs of that country and the Tunku 's valiant efforts to defend it were not convincing enough , from a purely foreign policy standpoint . ^ Jump up to : Weil , Thomas E. et . al.

Vu Tuong : There is no reason to expect , and no evidence that I have seen to demonstrate , that the actual executions were less than planned ; in fact the executions perhaps exceeded the plan if we consider two following factors . First , this decree was issued in 1953 for the rent and interest reduction campaign that preceded the far more radical land redistribution and party rectification campaigns ( or waves ) that followed during 1954 - 1956 . Second , the decree was meant to apply to free areas ( under the control of the Viet Minh government ) , not to the areas under French control that would be liberated in 1954 - 1955 and that would experience a far more violent struggle . Thus the number of 13,500 executed people seems to be a low - end estimate of the real number . This is corroborated by Edwin Moise in his recent paper `` Land Reform in North Vietnam , 1953 - 1956 '' presented at the 18th Annual Conference on SE Asian Studies , Center for SE Asian Studies , University of California , Berkeley ( February 2001 ) . In this paper Moise ( 7 - 9 ) modified his earlier estimate in his 1983 book ( which was 5,000 ) and accepted an estimate close to 15,000 executions . Moise made the case based on Hungarian reports provided by Balazs , but the document I cited above offers more direct evidence for his revised estimate . This document also suggests that the total number should be adjusted up some more , taking into consideration the later radical phase of the campaign , the unauthorized killings at the local level , and the suicides following arrest and torture ( the central government bore less direct responsibility for these cases , however ) . cf .

ISBN 9780833047540 . A study by Jacqueline Desbarats and Karl D. Jackson estimated that 65,000 South Vietnamese were executed for political reasons between 1975 and 1983 , based on a survey of 615 Vietnamese refugees who claimed to have personally witnessed 47 executions . However , `` their methodology was reviewed and criticized as invalid by authors Gareth Porter and James Roberts . '' 16 of the 47 names used to extrapolate this `` bloodbath '' were duplicates ; this extremely high duplication rate ( 34 % ) strongly suggests Desbarats and Jackson were drawing from a small number of total executions . Rather than arguing that this duplication rate proves there were very few executions in post-war Vietnam , Porter and Roberts suggest it is an artifact of the self - selected nature of the participants in the Desbarats - Jackson study , as the authors followed subjects 's recommendations on other refugees to interview .

The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Hound of the Baskervilles - wikipedia The Hound of the Baskervilles For other uses , see The Hound of the Baskervilles ( disambiguation ) . The Hound of the Baskervilles Cover of the first edition Author Arthur Conan Doyle Illustrator Sidney Paget Cover artist Alfred Garth Jones Country United Kingdom Language English Series Sherlock Holmes Genre Detective fiction Publisher George Newnes Publication date 1902 Preceded by The Final Problem ( last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes ) Followed by The Return of Sherlock Holmes The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the crime novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes . Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902 , it is set largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England 's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome , diabolical hound of supernatural origin . Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case . This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in `` The Final Problem '' , and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character 's eventual revival . In 2003 , the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC 's The Big Read poll of the UK 's `` best - loved novel . '' In 1999 , it was listed as the top Holmes novel , with a perfect rating from Sherlockian scholars of 100 .

Sir Charles was found dead on the grounds of his Devonshire estate , Baskerville Hall . Mortimer now fears for Sir Charles 's nephew and sole heir , Sir Henry Baskerville , who is the new master of Baskerville Hall . The death was attributed to a heart attack , but Mortimer is suspicious , because Sir Charles died with an expression of horror on his face , and Mortimer noticed `` the footprints of a gigantic hound '' about 50 yards from where Sir Charles lay dead . The Baskerville family has supposedly been under a curse since the era of the English Civil War when ancestor Hugo Baskerville allegedly offered his soul to the devil for help in abducting a woman and was reportedly killed by a giant spectral hound . Sir Charles believed in the curse and was apparently fleeing from something in fright when he died . Intrigued , Holmes meets with Sir Henry , newly arrived from Canada . Sir Henry has received an anonymous note , cut and pasted from newsprint , warning him away from the Baskerville moors , and one of his new boots is inexplicably missing from his London hotel room . The Baskerville family is discussed : Sir Charles was the eldest of three brothers ; the youngest , black sheep Rodger , is believed to have died childless in South America , while Sir Henry is the only child of the middle brother . Sir Henry plans to move into Baskerville Hall , despite the ominous warning message . Holmes and Dr Watson follow him from Holmes 's Baker Street apartment back to his hotel and notice a bearded man following him in a cab ; they pursue the man , but he escapes . Mortimer tells them that Mr Barrymore , the butler at Baskerville Hall , has a beard like the one on the stranger . Sir Henry 's boot reappears , but an older one vanishes . Sherlock Holmes examining Dr Mortimer 's walking stick Holmes sends for the cab driver who shuttled the bearded man after Sir Henry and is both astounded and amused to learn that the stranger had made a point of giving his name as ' Sherlock Holmes ' to the cabbie . Holmes , now even more interested in the Baskerville affair but held up with other cases , dispatches Watson to accompany Sir Henry to Baskerville Hall with instructions to send him frequent reports about the house , grounds , and neighbours . Upon arrival at the grand but austere Baskerville estate , Watson and Sir Henry learn that an escaped murderer named Selden is believed to be in the area . Barrymore and his wife , who also works at Baskerville Hall , wish to leave the estate soon . Watson hears a woman crying in the night ; it is obvious to him that it was Mrs Barrymore , but her husband denies it . Watson can find no proof that Barrymore was in Devon on the day of the chase in London . He meets a brother and sister who live nearby : Mr Stapleton , a naturalist , and the beautiful Miss Stapleton . When an animal sound is heard , Stapleton is quick to dismiss it as unrelated to the legendary hound . When her brother is out of earshot , Miss Stapleton mistakes Watson for Sir Henry and warns him to leave . She and Sir Henry later meet and quickly fall in love , arousing Stapleton 's anger ; he later apologises and invites Sir Henry to dine with him a few days later . Sir Henry Baskerville Barrymore arouses further suspicion when Watson and Sir Henry catch him at night with a candle in an empty room . Barrymore refuses to answer their questions , but Mrs. Barrymore confesses that Selden is her brother , and her husband is signalling that they have left supplies for him . Watson and Sir Henry pursue Selden on the moor , but he eludes them , while Watson notices another man on a nearby tor . After an agreement is reached to allow Selden to flee the country , Barrymore reveals the contents of an incompletely burnt letter asking Sir Charles to be at the gate at the time of his death . It was signed with the initials L.L. ; on Mortimer 's advice , Watson questions a Laura Lyons , who admits to writing the letter in hopes that Sir Charles would help finance her divorce , but says she did not keep the appointment . Watson tracks the second man he saw in the area and discovers it to be Holmes , investigating independently in hopes of a faster resolution . Holmes reveals further information : Stapleton is actually married to the supposed Miss Stapleton , and he promised marriage to Laura Lyons to get her cooperation . They hear a scream and discover the body of Selden , dead from a fall . They initially mistake him for Sir Henry , whose old clothes he was wearing . At Baskerville Hall , Holmes notices a resemblance between Stapleton and a portrait of Hugo Baskerville . He realises that Stapleton could be an unknown Baskerville family member , seeking to claim the Baskerville wealth by eliminating his relatives . Accompanied by Inspector Lestrade , whom Holmes has summoned , Holmes and Watson travel to the Stapleton home , where Sir Henry is dining . They rescue him from a hound that Stapleton releases while Sir Henry is walking home across the moor . Shooting the animal dead in the struggle , Sherlock reveals that it was a perfectly mortal dog - a mix of bloodhound and mastiff , painted with phosphorus to give it a hellish appearance . They find Miss Stapleton bound and gagged inside the house , while Stapleton apparently dies in an attempt to reach his hideout in a nearby mine located at the heart of the Grimpen Mire . They also find Sir Henry 's boot , which was used to give the hound Sir Henry 's scent . Weeks later , Holmes provides Watson with additional details about the case . Stapleton was , in fact , Rodger Baskerville 's son , also named Rodger . His now - widow is a South American woman , the former Beryl Garcia . He supported himself through crime for many years , before learning that he could inherit a fortune by murdering his uncle and cousin . Stapleton had taken Sir Henry 's old boot because the new , unworn boot lacked his scent . The hound had pursued Selden to his death because of the scent on Sir Henry 's old clothes . Mrs Stapleton had disavowed her husband 's plot , so he had imprisoned her to prevent her from interfering . The story ends with Holmes and Watson leaving to see the opera Les Huguenots starring Jean de Reszke . Origins and Background ( edit ) Baskerville Hall , formally Clyro Court . It is thought this house may have provided Conan Doyle with the inspiration for The Hound of the Baskervilles The ruins of Fowelscombe House , viewed in 2008 , a possible model for Baskerville Hall Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote this story shortly after returning to his home Undershaw from South Africa , where he had worked as a volunteer physician at the Langman Field Hospital in Bloemfontein at the time of the Second Boer War . Conan Doyle had not written about Sherlock Holmes in eight years , having killed off the character in the 1893 story `` The Final Problem '' . Although The Hound of the Baskervilles is set before the latter events , two years later Conan Doyle would bring Holmes back for good , explaining in `` The Adventure of the Empty House '' that Holmes had faked his own death . He was assisted with the plot by a 30 - year - old Daily Express journalist named Bertram Fletcher Robinson ( 1870 -- 1907 ) . Inspiration ( edit ) His ideas came from the legend of Richard Cabell ( d. 1677 ) , of Brook Hall , in the parish of Buckfastleigh , Devon , which was the fundamental inspiration for the Baskerville tale of a hellish hound and a cursed country squire . Cabell 's tomb survives in the village of Buckfastleigh . Squire Richard Cabell lived for hunting and was what in those days was described as a ' monstrously evil man ' . He gained this reputation for , amongst other things , immorality and having sold his soul to the Devil . There was also a rumour that he had murdered his wife , Elizabeth Fowell , a daughter of Sir Edmund Fowell , 1st Baronet ( 1593 -- 1674 ) , of Fowelscombe . On 5 July 1677 , he died and was laid to rest in the sepulchre . The night of his interment saw a phantom pack of hounds come baying across the moor to howl at his tomb . From that night on , he could be found leading the phantom pack across the moor , usually on the anniversary of his death . If the pack were not out hunting , they could be found ranging around his grave howling and shrieking . In an attempt to lay the soul to rest , the villagers built a large building around the tomb , and to be doubly sure a huge slab was placed . Moreover , Devon 's folklore includes tales of a fearsome supernatural dog known as the Yeth hound that Conan Doyle may have heard . It is believed by Weller ( 2002 ) that Baskerville Hall is based on one of three possible houses on or near Dartmoor , namely Fowelscombe in the parish of Ugborough , the seat of the Fowell Baronets ; Hayford Hall , near Buckfastleigh ( also owned by John King ( d. 1861 ) of Fowelscombe ) and Brook Hall , in the parish of Buckfastleigh , about two miles east of Hayford , the actual home of Richard Cabell ( d. 1677 ) , husband of Elizabeth Fowell . It has also been claimed that Baskerville Hall is based on a property in Mid Wales , built in 1839 by one Thomas Mynors Baskerville . The house was formerly named Clyro Court and was renamed Baskerville Hall towards the end of the last century . Arthur Conan Doyle was apparently a family friend who often stayed there and may have been aware of a local legend of the hound of the Baskervilles . Still other tales claim that Conan Doyle was inspired by his time on holiday in North Norfolk , where the tale of Black Shuck is well known . The pre-Gothic Cromer Hall , where Conan Doyle stayed , also closely resembles Doyle 's vivid descriptions of Baskerville Hall . Original manuscript ( edit ) In 1902 , Doyle 's original manuscript of the book was broken up into individual leaves as part of a promotional campaign by Doyle 's American publisher - they were used as part of window displays by individual booksellers . Out of an estimated 185 - 190 leaves , only 36 are known to still exist , including all the leaves from Chapter 11 , held by the New York Public Library . Other leaves are owned by university libraries and private collectors . A newly rediscovered example was sold at auction in 2012 for US $158,500 . Technique ( 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 . ( June 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The novel uses many traditional novelistic techniques which had been largely abandoned by the time of writing , such as letters , diary extracts , interpolated manuscripts , and the like , as seen in the works of Henry Fielding and , later , Wilkie Collins . It incorporates five plots : the ostensible ' curse ' story , the two red - herring subplots concerning Selden and the other stranger living on the moor , the actual events occurring to Baskerville as narrated by Watson , and the hidden plot to be discovered by Holmes . Doyle wrote that the novel was originally conceived as a straight ' Victorian creeper ' ( as seen in the works of J. Sheridan Le Fanu ) , with the idea of introducing Holmes as the deus ex machina only arising later . Publication ( edit ) The Hound of the Baskervilles was first serialized in The Strand Magazine in 1901 . It was well - suited for this type of publication , as individual chapters end in cliffhangers . It was printed in the form of a novel the following year . Adaptations ( edit ) The Hound of the Baskervilles has been adapted for many media . Film and television adaptations ( edit ) Over 20 film and television versions of The Hound of the Baskervilles have been made .

The first starred Roger Rees as Holmes and Crawford Logan as Watson and was broadcast in 1988 on BBC Radio 4 . Following its good reception , Coules proposed further radio adaptations , which eventually led to an entire dramatisation of the canon for radio , starring Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson . The second adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles , featuring this pairing , was broadcast in 1998 , and also featured Judi Dench as Mrs Hudson and Donald Sinden as Sir Charles Baskerville . Stage ( edit ) In 2007 , Peepolykus Theatre Company premiered a new adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles at West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds . Adapted by John Nicholson and Steven Canny , the production involves only three actors and was praised by critics for its physical comedy . Following a UK tour , it transferred to the Duchess Theatre in London 's West End . The Daily Telegraph described it as a ' wonderfully delightful spoof ' , whilst The Sunday Times praised its ' mad hilarity that will make you feel quite sane ' . This adaptation continues to be presented by both amateur and professional companies around the world . Ken Ludwig authored an adaptation entitled Baskerville : A Sherlock Holmes Mystery which premiered as a co-production at Arena Stage ( Washington , D.C. ) in January 2015 and McCarter Theatre Center in March 2015 . Video games ( edit ) The Hound of Baskervilles serves as the primary inspiration for the final case in Dai Gyakuten Saiban : Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken in which the protagonist teams up with Sherlock Holmes to investigate mysteries based on various entries in the Holmes chronology . Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles is a casual game by Frogwares . It departs from the original plot by introducing clear supernatural elements . Despite its non-canonical plot , it received good reviews . Related works ( edit ) The movie The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp ( 1941 ) makes references to The Hound of the Baskervilles . Disney cartoonist Carl Barks parodied this story with The Hound of the Whiskervilles ( 1960 ) , starring Uncle Scrooge . A 1965 issue of Walt Disney 's Comics and Stories ( comic book ) featured The Hound of Basketville , starring Mickey Mouse , Goofy , Gladstone Gander , and Pluto , as Sherlock Mouse , Doctor Goofy , Sir Gladstone Basketville , and the hound . Stapleton reappears in Richard L. Boyer 's version of The Giant Rat of Sumatra ( 1976 ) . It turns out that he did not die , as Holmes and Watson assumed , but had escaped by another route , committing further crimes and vowing vengeance on Sherlock Holmes . William of Baskerville , protagonist of Umberto Eco 's novel The Name of the Rose ( 1980 ) , is a Franciscan monk and a sleuth , inspired by Sherlock Holmes and perhaps William of Occam and other real and fictional characters . The hound of the Baskervilles is a character in Kouta Hirano 's supernatural manga series Hellsing ( 1997 - 2008 ) . Spike Milligan satirised the novel in his book , The Hound of the Baskervilles According to Spike Milligan ( 1997 ) , combining elements of the original novel with the Basil Rathbone serials .

who died in the hound of the baskervilles
[ "Dr. James Mortimer asks Sherlock Holmes for advice following the death of his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles was found dead on the grounds of his Devonshire estate, Baskerville Hall. Mortimer now fears for Sir Charles's nephew and sole heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, who is the new master of Baskerville Hall. The death was attributed to a heart attack, but Mortimer is suspicious, because Sir Charles died with an expression of horror on his face, and Mortimer noticed \"the footprints of a gigantic hound\" about 50 yards from where Sir Charles lay dead. The Baskerville family has supposedly been under a curse since the era of the English Civil War when ancestor Hugo Baskerville allegedly offered his soul to the devil for help in abducting a woman and was reportedly killed by a giant spectral hound. Sir Charles believed in the curse and was apparently fleeing from something in fright when he died." ]

The battle , which began on 13 September 1759 , was fought by the British Army and Navy against the French Army on a plateau just outside the walls of Quebec City , on land that was originally owned by a farmer named Abraham Martin , hence the name of the battle . The battle involved fewer than 10,000 troops between both sides , but proved to be a deciding moment in the conflict between France and Britain over the fate of New France , influencing the later creation of Canada . The culmination of a three - month siege by the British , the battle lasted about an hour . British troops commanded by General James Wolfe successfully resisted the column advance of French troops and Canadien militia under General Louis - Joseph , Marquis de Montcalm , employing new tactics that proved extremely effective against standard military formations used in most large European conflicts . Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle ; Wolfe received three gunshot wounds that ended his life within minutes of the beginning of the engagement and Montcalm died the next morning after receiving a musket ball wound just below his ribs . In the wake of the battle , the French evacuated the city ; their remaining military force in Canada and the rest of North America came under increasing pressure from British forces . France ceded most of its possessions in eastern North America to Great Britain in the Treaty of Paris . The decisive success of the British forces and the subsequent capture of Quebec City formed part of what became known as the `` Annus Mirabilis '' in Great Britain .

In 1758 after defeat in July at the Battle of Carillon , the British took Louisbourg in August , causing Atlantic Canada to fall into British hands , and opening the sea route to attack Quebec . Fort Frontenac fell to the British in the same month , costing the French supplies for the Ohio Valley campaign . When some of the Indian supporters of the French made peace with the British , France was forced to draw its troops back . French leadership , specifically Governor de Vaudreuil and General Montcalm , were unsettled by the British successes . However , Quebec was still able to protect itself as the British prepared a three - pronged attack for 1759 . James Wolfe expected to lead 12,000 men , but was greeted by only approximately 7,000 regular troops , 400 officers , and 300 gunners . Wolfe 's troops were supported by a fleet of 49 ships and 140 smaller craft led by Admiral Charles Saunders . French fire ships sent downriver to block the British advance by Dominic Serres In preparation for the fleet 's approach to Quebec , James Cook surveyed a large portion of the river , including a dangerous channel known as The Traverse . Cook 's ship was one of the first ships up the river , sounding the channel and guiding the fleet as it moved up , eventually landing Wolfe and his men on the Île d'Orléans on 28 June . The French attempted to attack the fleet by sending seven fire ships downriver to disrupt the landing , but the ships fired too early and British sailors in longboats were able to pull the flaming craft clear of the fleet . The following day , Wolfe 's troops landed on the south bank of the river at Point Levis , nearly directly across the river from Quebec ; an artillery battery was established there in early July that nearly levelled the lower town by bombardment . Despite an air of defeatism among the leadership , the professional French troops and New French militia defenders focused preparations for the British attacks on the Beauport Shore . Montcalm and his staff , Major - General François de Gaston , Chevalier de Lévis , Colonel Louis Antoine de Bougainville , and Lieutenant - Colonel de Sennezergue , distributed some 12,000 troops in a nine - kilometre - long collection of fortified redoubts and batteries from the Saint - Charles River to the Montmorency Falls , along the shallows of the river in areas that had previously been targeted by British attempts to land . Prior to the arrival of the British , a small fleet of supply ships had arrived in Quebec with much needed supplies . Those supplies , along with 500 reinforcements , were likely behind the lengthened siege . Initial British landing , claiming the Point Levis and the unsuccessful attack on 31 August Wolfe , on surveying the town of Beauport , found that the houses there had been barricaded and organized to allow for musket fire from within ; they were built in an unbroken line along the road , providing a formidable barrier . In addition , a screen of trees along the Montmorency River made an approach on that route dangerous . On 31 July , the first serious attempt by Wolfe 's troops to land on the northern shore led to the Battle of Beauport , also known as the Battle of Montmorency . Approximately 3,500 troops , supported by a heavy bombardment , attempted to land , but were caught under fire in the river shallows . Members of the Louisbourg Grenadiers , who reached the beach , attempted a generally undisciplined charge on the French positions , but came under heavy fire ; a thunderstorm ended the fight and allowed Wolfe to pull his troops back after taking some 450 casualties to Montcalm 's 60 . Some French officers felt the Montmorency defeat would be the last British attack ; Vaudreuil wrote afterwards that `` I have no more anxiety about Quebec . Wolfe , I assure you , will make no progress ... He contented himself with losing about five hundred of his best soldiers . '' He predicted another attack would come within days . Others in the French camp felt the campaign was over . For the remainder of the summer , Wolfe 's focus changed , possibly due to frustration with Montcalm 's tactics . Wolfe 's troops , along with American Rangers , attacked and destroyed small French settlements along the St. Lawrence . An estimated 1,400 stone houses and manors were destroyed , and many colonists killed . The effort was likely an attempt to force Montcalm 's army out of its fortifications , but was unsuccessful . However , the attacks did reduce the amount of supplies available to the French , especially as the British navy , unable to control the St. Lawrence entirely , was successfully blockading the ports in France . Preparations ( edit ) The Battle of the Plains of Abraham Through the summer siege , illness spread through the British camps . In August , Wolfe himself was bedridden , causing already low morale to slump even further among the British troops . With many men in camp hospitals , British fighting numbers were thinned , and Wolfe personally felt that a new attack was needed by the end of September , or Britain 's opportunity would be lost . In addition , his frustration with Montcalm 's defensive stance continued to grow . In a letter to his mother , Wolfe wrote , `` The Marquis of Montcalm is at the head of a great number of bad soldiers , and I am at the head of a small number of good ones that wish for nothing so much as to fight him ; but the wary old fellow avoids an action , doubtful of the behaviour of his army . '' Montcalm also expressed frustration over the long siege , relating that he and his troops slept clothed and booted , and his horse was always saddled in preparation for an attack . After considering and rejecting a number of plans for landings on the north shore , a decision was made in late August by Wolfe and his brigadiers to land upriver of the city . If successful , such a landing would force Montcalm to fight , as a British force on the north shore of the St. Lawrence would cut his supply lines to Montreal . Initial suggestions for landing sites ranged as far as 32 kilometres ( 20 mi ) up the St. Lawrence , which would have given the French troops one or two days to prepare for the attack . Following the failed British assault on Montmorency , Montcalm altered his deployment , sending Bougainville and a column of approximately 1,500 regular troops , 200 cavalry , and a group of New French militia -- some 3,000 men in all -- upriver to Cap - Rouge to monitor the British ships upstream . He further strengthened his defences of the Beauport shore following the abandonment of the British camp at Montmorency , which he regarded as preparations for a descent ( amphibious attack ) on Beauport . In spite of warnings from local commanders , he did not view an upstream landing as a serious possibility . The British , meanwhile , prepared for their risky deployment upstream . Troops had already been aboard landing ships and drifting up and down the river for several days when Wolfe on 12 September , made a final decision on the British landing site , selecting L'Anse - au - Foulon . L'Anse - au - Foulon is a cove situated west of the city , three kilometres upstream from Cap Diamant . It lies at the bottom of a 53 - metre ( 174 ft ) high cliff leading to the plateau above , and was protected by a battery of guns . It is not known why Wolfe selected Foulon , as the original landing site was to be further up the river , in a position where the British would be able to develop a foothold and strike at Bougainville 's force to draw Montcalm out of Quebec and onto the plains . Brigadier - General George Townshend wrote that `` by some intelligence the General had , he has changed his mind as to the place he intended to land . '' In his final letter , dated HMS Sutherland , 8 : 30 p.m. 12 September , Wolfe wrote : `` I had the honour to inform you today that it is my duty to attack the French army . To the best of my knowledge and ability , I have fixed upon that spot where we can act with most force and are most likely to succeed . If I am mistaken I am sorry for it and must be answerable to His Majesty and the public for the consequences . '' Wolfe 's plan of attack depended on secrecy and surprise . His plan required that a small party of men should land by night on the north shore , climb the tall cliff , seize a small road , and overpower the garrison that protected it , allowing the bulk of his army ( 5,000 men ) to ascend the cliff by the small road and then deploy for battle on the plateau . Even if the first landing party succeeded in their mission and the army was able to follow , such a deployment would still leave his forces inside the French line of defense with no immediate retreat but the river . It is possible that Wolfe 's decision to change the landing site was owing less to a desire for secrecy and more to his general disdain for his brigadiers ( a feeling that was reciprocated ) ; it is also possible that he was still suffering the effects of his illness and the opiates he used as painkillers . Anderson believes Wolfe ordered the attack believing the advanced guard would be repulsed , and anticipated dying gallantly with his men rather than returning home in disgrace . Landing ( edit ) Landing of the British troops on 12 September Bougainville , tasked with the defence of the large area between Cap Diamant and Cap Rouge , was upstream with his troops at Cap Rouge on the night of 12 September , and missed seeing numerous British ships moving downstream . A camp of approximately 100 militia led by Captain Louis Du Pont Duchambon de Vergor , who had unsuccessfully faced the British four years previously at Fort Beauséjour , had been assigned to watch the narrow road at L'Anse - au - Foulon which followed a streambank , the Coulée Saint - Denis . On the night of 12 September and morning of 13 September , however , the camp may have contained as few as 40 men , as others were off harvesting . Vaudreuil and others had expressed their concern at the possibility of L'Anse - au - Foulon being vulnerable , but Montcalm dismissed them , saying 100 men would hold off the army until daylight , remarking , `` It is not to be supposed that the enemies have wings so that they can in the same night cross the river , disembark , climb the obstructed acclivity , and scale the walls , for which last operation they would have to carry ladders . '' Sentries did detect boats moving along the river that morning , but they were expecting a French supply convoy to pass that night -- a plan that had been changed without Vergor being notified . When the boats , loaded with the first wave of British troops , were challenged , a French - speaking officer , either a Captain Fraser or Captain Donald McDonald of the 78th Fraser Highlanders , was able to answer the challenge in excellent French , allaying suspicion . The boats , however , had drifted slightly off course : instead of landing at the base of the road , many soldiers found themselves at the base of a slope . A group of 24 volunteers led by Colonel William Howe with fixed bayonets were sent to clear the picket along the road , and climbed the slope , a manoeuvre that allowed them to come up behind Vergor 's camp and capture it quickly . Wolfe followed an hour later when he could use an easy access road to climb to the plain . Thus , by the time the sun rose over the Plains of Abraham , Wolfe 's army had a solid foothold at the top of the cliffs . Battle ( edit ) Map of the Quebec City area showing disposition of French and British forces . The Plains of Abraham are located to the left . The plateau was undefended save for Vergor 's camp , as Vaudreuil had ordered one of the French regiments to relocate to the east of the city not long before the landing . Had the immediate defenders been more numerous , the British might have been unable to deploy or even been pushed back . An officer who would normally have patrolled the cliffs regularly through the night was unable to on the night of the 12th because one of his horses had been stolen and his two others were lame . The first notice of the landing came from a runner who had fled from Vergor 's camp , but one of Montcalm 's aides felt the man was mad and sent him away , then went back to bed . Saunders had staged a diversionary action off Montmorency , firing on the shore emplacements through the night and loading boats with troops , many of them taken from field hospitals ; this preoccupied Montcalm . The British under General Wolfe attacking the heights of Quebec , 1759 Montcalm was taken aback to learn of the British deployment , and his response has been regarded as precipitate . Though he might have awaited reinforcement by Bougainville 's column ( allowing simultaneous frontal and rear attacks on the British position ) or avoided battle while he concentrated his forces , or even yielded the city to Wolfe , he instead elected to confront Wolfe 's force directly . Had he waited , the British would have been entirely cut off -- they had nowhere to go but back down the Foulon , and would have been under fire the entire way . To an artillery officer named Montbelliard , Montcalm explained his decision thus : `` We can not avoid action ; the enemy is entrenching , he already has two pieces of cannon . If we give him time to establish himself , we shall never be able to attack him with the troops we have . '' First engagements ( edit ) First phase of the battle In total , Montcalm had 13,390 regular troops , Troupes de la Marine , and militia available in Quebec City and along the Beauport shore , as well as 200 cavalry , 200 artillery ( including the guns of Quebec ) , 300 native warriors ( including many Odawa under Charles de Langlade ) , and 140 Acadian volunteers , but most of these troops did not participate in the action . Many of the militia were inexperienced ; the Acadian , Canadian , and indigenous irregulars were more used to guerilla warfare . By contrast , the British 7,700 troops were almost all regulars . On the morning of 13 September , Wolfe 's army formed a line first with their backs to the river , then spread out across the Plains with its right anchored by the bluff along the St. Lawrence and its left by a bluff and thick wood above the St. Charles River . While the regular French forces were approaching from Beauport and Quebec , the Canadian militia and native sharpshooters engaged the British left flank , sheltering in the trees and scrub ; the militia held these positions throughout the battle and fell back on this line during the general retreat , eventually holding the bridge over the St. Charles River . Of the British troops , approximately 3,300 formed into a shallow horseshoe formation that stretched across the width of the Plains , the main firing line being roughly one kilometre long . Two battalions were deployed , facing north , to cover the left flank and a further two formed a reserve . In order to cover the entire plain , Wolfe was forced to array his soldiers two ranks deep , rather than the more conventional three ranks . On the left wing , regiments under Townshend exchanged fire with the militia in the scrub and captured a small collection of houses and gristmill to anchor the line . The defenders pushed the British from one house , but were repelled and , in retreat , lit several houses on fire to keep them out of enemy hands . Smoke from these fires wound up masking the British left , and may have confused Montcalm as to the width of the lines . As Wolfe 's men waited for the defenders , the steady fire became intense enough that Wolfe ordered his men to lie down amid the high grass and brush . Montcalm leading his troops into battle . Watercolour by Charles William Jefferys ( 1869 -- 1951 ) As French troops arrived from Beauport , Montcalm , one of few mounted men on the field , decided that a swift assault was the only way to dislodge the British from their position . Accordingly , he deployed the forces immediately available in and near Quebec City and prepared an immediate attack , without waiting for further reinforcements from the Beauport shore . He arrayed his approximately 3,500 soldiers into place , his best regulars three deep , others six deep and his poorest regiment in column . At approximately 10 a.m. , Montcalm , riding his dark horse and waving his sword to encourage his men , ordered a general advance on the British line . As a European - trained military leader , Montcalm 's instinct was for large , set - piece battles in which regiments and soldiers moved in precise order . Such actions required a disciplined soldiery , painstakingly drilled for as long as 18 months on the parade ground , trained to march in time , change formation at a word , and retain cohesion in the face of bayonet charges and musket volleys . Though his regular regiments ( the `` troupes de terre '' or `` metropolitans '' ) were adept at such formal warfare , in the course of the campaign their ranks had been replenished by less professional militiamen , whose talents at forest warfare emphasised the individual : they tended to fire early and then drop to the ground to reload , thus reducing the effect of concentrated fire at close range . Battle on the Plains ( edit ) French forces in retreat Drawing by a soldier of Wolfe 's army depicting the easy climbing of Wolfe 's soldiers As the French approached , the British lines held their fire . Wolfe had devised a firing method for stopping French column advances in 1755 that called for the centre -- in this case , the 43rd and 47th Foot regiments -- to hold fire while waiting for the advancing force to approach within 30 yards ( 27 m ) , then open fire at close range . The French held their fire and both armies waited for two or three minutes . The French finally fired two disorganized volleys . Wolfe had ordered his soldiers to charge their muskets with two balls each in preparation for the engagement . Captain John Knox , serving with the 43rd Foot , wrote in his journal that as the French came within range , the regiments `` gave them , with great calmness , as remarkable a close and heavy discharge as I ever saw . '' After the first volley , the British lines marched forward a few paces towards the shocked French force and fired a second general volley that shattered the attackers and sent them into retreat . Wolfe , positioned with the 28th Foot and the Louisbourg Grenadiers , had moved to a rise to observe the battle ; he had been struck in the wrist early in the fight , but had wrapped the injury and continued on . Volunteer James Henderson , with the Louisbourg Grenadiers , had been tasked with holding the hill , and reported afterwards that within moments of the command to fire , Wolfe was struck with two shots , one low in the stomach and the second , a mortal wound in the chest . Knox wrote that one of the soldiers near Wolfe shouted `` They run , see how they run . '' Wolfe , on the ground , opened his eyes and asked who was running . Upon being told that the French had broken , he gave several orders , then turned on his side and said `` Now , God be praised , I will die in peace '' , and died . With Wolfe dead and several other key officers injured , British troops fell into a disorganised pursuit of the retreating French troops . The 78th Fraser Highlanders were ordered by Brigadier - General James Murray to pursue the French with their swords , but were met near the city by a heavy fire from a floating battery covering the bridge over the St. Charles River as well as militia that remained in the trees . The 78th took the highest number of casualties of all British units in the battle . An eyewitness with the 78th Highlanders ( Dr. Robert Macpherson ) wrote three days after the battle : The Highlanders pursued them to the very Sally Port of the town . The Highlanders returned towards the main body . When the highlanders were gathered together , they lay 'd on a separate attack against a large body of Canadians on our flank that were posted in a small village and a Bush of woods . Here , after a wonderful escape all day , we suffered great loss both in Officers and men but at last drove them under the cover of their cannon which likeways did us considerable loss . '' Townshend took charge of the British forces and realised that Bougainville 's column was approaching from the British rear , having taken some time to arrive from Cap Rouge . He quickly formed up two battalions from the confused troops on the field and turned them to meet the oncoming French , a day - saving manoeuvre ; instead of attacking with a well rested and ready force , Bougainville retreated while the rest of Montcalm 's army slipped back across the St. Charles . The Death of Montcalm During the retreat , Montcalm , still mounted , was struck by either canister shot from the British artillery or repeated musket fire , suffering injuries to the lower abdomen and thigh . He was able to make it back into the city , but his wounds were mortal and he died early the next morning . He was buried in a shell crater left in the floor of the Ursuline chapel by a British shell . The battle resulted in similar numbers of casualties on both sides of the field ; the French had 644 men killed or injured , while the British were left with 658 killed or wounded . Aftermath ( edit ) General Montcalm , mortally wounded on the Plains of Abraham , is taken to Quebec . Watercolour by Louis Bombled ( 1862 -- 1927 ) In the wake of the battle , a state of confusion spread through the French troops . Governor de Vaudreuil , who later wrote to his government and put the full blame for the French rout on the deceased Montcalm , decided to abandon Quebec and the Beauport shore , ordering all of his forces to march west and eventually join up with Bougainville , leaving the garrison in Quebec under the command of Jean - Baptiste Nicolas Roch de Ramezay . Meanwhile , the British , first under the command of Townshend and later with Murray in charge , settled in to besiege the city in conjunction with Saunders ' fleet . Within days , on 18 September , de Ramezay , Townshend and Saunders signed the Articles of Capitulation of Quebec and the city was turned over to British control . The remaining French forces positioned themselves on the Jacques - Cartier River west of the city . The British Navy was forced to leave the St. Lawrence shortly after the capture of Quebec , lest pack ice close the mouth of the river . The next April , before the ice left the rivers , the Chevalier de Lévis , Montcalm 's successor as French commander , marched his 7,000 troops to Quebec . James Murray , the British commander , had experienced a terrible winter , in which scurvy had reduced his garrison to only 4,000 . On 28 April 1760 , Lévis ' forces met and defeated the British at the Battle of Sainte - Foy , immediately west of the city ( near the site of Université Laval today ) . This battle proved bloodier than that of the Plains of Abraham , with about 850 casualties on the French side and 1,100 on the British side . The British were defeated in the battle , but were able to withdraw within the walls of Quebec , which was now under siege . A lack of artillery and ammunition , combined with British improvements to the fortifications , meant that the French were unable to take the city by storm . Both sides awaited reinforcements from Europe . The first ships to arrive , in mid-May , were part of a British fleet which had defeated Levis ' support ships . A naval battle fought at Quiberon Bay , just off the coast of France , proved the decisive battle for this part of New France . The Royal Navy destroyed the French fleet , meaning France could not send a reserve force to save New France . The success of the French army 's offensive against Quebec in the spring of 1760 had depended on the dispatch of a French armada , with fresh troops and supplies . At Montréal that September , Lévis and 2,000 troops were confronted with 17,000 British and American troops . The French capitulated on 8 September 1760 , and the British took possession of Montreal . The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1763 to end the war and gave possession of parts of New France to Great Britain , including Canada and the eastern half of French Louisiana -- lying between the Mississippi River and the Appalachian Mountains . Legacy of the Plains ( edit ) Martello Tower ( constructed by the British 1808 -- 1812 ) in The Battlefields Park , Quebec City Today , while much of the foreshore along the base of the cliffs that were scaled by William Howe 's men the morning of the battle has been taken over by industry , the Plains of Abraham themselves are preserved within one of Canada 's National Urban Parks . There is a monument on the site of the Battle of Sainte - Foy . In 2009 , a number of activities were proposed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham . A plan to hold a reenactment of the battle itself ( as well as a reenactment of the subsequent French victory of 1760 at the Battle of Sainte - Foy ) was cancelled due to threats of public disorder . Leaders of separatist parties described the event as a slap in the face for Quebecers of French ancestry and as an insult for the francophone majority . Some sovereigntist groups threatened or made indirect threats by stating that if the event took place , there could be violence . The movement against re-enactment and these threats of violence led the National Battlefields Commission to cancel the event . Another commemorative event was proposed for the anniversary , the Moulin à paroles . Thousands gathered on the Plains of Abraham to listen to recitations of 140 significant texts from Quebec history , including the 1970 FLQ Manifesto . The inclusion of that document in the event led to condemnations and a boycott from federalist politicians and the withdrawal of some government funding for the event . The Moulin à paroles took place without incident . During building within the Old city of Quebec , a cannonball was found which is believed to have been fired during the siege .

who commanded the british attack on quebec quizlet
[ "The culmination of a three-month siege by the British, the battle lasted about an hour. British troops commanded by General James Wolfe successfully resisted the column advance of French troops and Canadien militia under General Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm, employing new tactics that proved extremely effective against standard military formations used in most large European conflicts. Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle; Wolfe received three gunshot wounds that ended his life within minutes of the beginning of the engagement and Montcalm died the next morning after receiving a musket ball wound just below his ribs. In the wake of the battle, the French evacuated the city; their remaining military force in Canada and the rest of North America came under increasing pressure from British forces." ]

Geometric art
Geometric Art - wikipedia Geometric Art Jump to : navigation , search Geometric art is a phase of Greek art , characterized largely by geometric motifs in vase painting , that flourished towards the end of the Greek Dark Ages , circa 900 BC -- 700 BC . Its center was in Athens , and from there the style spread among the trading cities of the Aegean . The Greek Dark Ages is also called the Geometric period in reference to this characteristic pottery style , although the historical period is much longer than the art - historical period , being circa 1100 -- 800 BC . The vases had various uses or purposes within Greek society , including , but not limited to , funerary vases and symposium vases . Contents ( hide ) 1 Funerary Context 2 Pottery in the Geometric style 2.1 Protogeometric period 2.2 Early Geometric period 2.3 Middle Geometric period 2.4 Late Geometric period 3 Narrative art 4 Motifs 5 Techniques 6 See also 7 References Funerary context ( edit ) Funerary vases not only depicted funerary scenes , but they also had a practical purposes , either holding the ashes or being used as grave markers . Relatives of the deceased conducted burial rituals that included three parts : the prothesis ( laying out of the body ) , the ekphora ( funeral procession ) , and the interment of the body or cremated remains of the body . To the Greeks , an omission of a proper burial was an insult to proper dignity . The mythological context of a proper burial relates to the Greek 's belief in a continued existence in the underworld ; one that will disallow the dead to maintain peace in the absence of a proper burial ritual . Aside from its funerary use , the Greeks also utilized various vessels during symposiums . The Greek symposium was a social gathering that only aristocratic males were allowed to attend . Vessels , such as wine coolers , jugs , various drinking cups , and mixing vessels , were decorated with Greek , geometric scenes . Some of the scenes depicted drinking parties or Dionysus and his followers . The symposia would be held in the `` andron , '' which was a man 's only room . The only women allowed into this room were called `` hetaera , '' or female sex - workers who required payment from their regular , male companions . Pottery in the Geometric style ( edit ) Protogeometric period ( edit ) During the Protogeometric period ( 1050 -- 900 BC ) , the shapes of the vessels have eliminated the fluid nature of the Mycenaean ; creating a more strict and simple design . There are horizontal , decorative bands that feature geometric shapes , including , but not limited to , concentric circles or semicircles . Technological developments caused a new relationship between ornament and structure ; causing differing stylistic choice from its Mycenaean influencers . The Protogeometric period did not yet feature human figures within its art , but horses were pictured during this time period . Common vase shapes of the period include amphorae with the handles on both the belly and the neck , hydriai ( water jars ) , oinochoai ( lit . wine jug ) , lekythoi , and skyphoi ( stemless cups ) . Early Geometric period ( edit ) In the Early Geometric period ( 900 -- 850 BC ) , the height of the vessels had been increased , while the decoration is limited around the neck down to the middle of the body of the vessel . The remaining surface is covered by a thin layer of clay , which during the firing takes a dark , shiny , metallic color . That was the period when the decorative theme of the meander was added to the pottery design , the most characteristic element of Geometric art . During this period , a broader repetroire of vessel shapes was initiated . Specifically , amphorae were used to hold cremation ashes . The amphorae featured handles on the `` neck / shoulder '' for males , while they feature handles on the `` belly '' of the vase for women . Middle Geometric period ( edit ) By the Middle Geometric period ( 850 -- 760 BC ) , the decorative zones appear multiplied due to the creation of a laced mesh , while the meander dominates and is placed in the most important area , in the metope , which is arranged between the handles . Late Geometric period ( edit ) The Dipylon Amphora , mid-8th century BC , with human figures for scale . National Archaeological Museum , Athens While the technique from the Middle Geometric period was still continued at the beginning of the 8th century BC , some potters enriched again the decorative organization of the vases , stabilized the forms of the animals in the areas of the neck and the base of the vase , and introduced between the handles , the human form . The Late Geometric Period was marked by a 1.62 meter amphora that was made by the Dipylon painter at around 760 - 750 BC . The vase was a grave marker to an aristocratic woman in the Dipylon cemetery . This was the first phase of the Late Geometric period ( 760 -- 700 BC ) , in which the great vessels of Dipylon ware placed on the graves as funeral monuments , and represent with their height ( often at a height of 1.50 m ) and the perfection of their execution , the highest expression of the Greek Geometric art . The focal point of the funerary vases ( kraters ) was now the body lying in state ( prothesis ) and the wail of the dead ( Amphora in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens ) , carrying out to the grave with an honorary chariot race ( Krater in the Athens National Archaeological Museum ) , and various other subjects thought to be related to similar descriptions of the Homeric epics . Detail of a chariot from a late Geometric krater attributed to the Trachones workshop on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art People and animals are depicted geometrically in a dark glossy color , while the remaining vessel is covered by strict zones of meanders , crooked lines , circles , swastikas , in the same graphical concept . Later , the main tragic theme of the wail declined , the compositions eased , the geometric shapes have become more freely , and areas with animals , birds , scenes of shipwrecks , hunting scenes , themes from mythology or the Homeric epics led Geometric pottery into more naturalistic expressions . One of the characteristic examples of the Late Geometric style is an oldest surviving signed work of a Greek potter Aristonothos ( or Aristonophos ) ( 7th century BC ) . The vase was found at Cerveteri in Italy and illustrates the blinding of Polyphemus by Odysseus and his companions . From the mid-8th century BC , the closer contact between Greece and the East enriched the ceramic art with new subjects -- such as lions , panthers , imaginary beings , rosettes , palmettes , lotus flowers etc. -- that led to the Orientalizing Period style , in which the pottery style of Corinth distinguished . Narrative Art ( edit ) The notion of narrative during this time period exists between the artist and the audience . The artist communicates with the viewer , but the viewer 's interpretation can sometime be an inaccurate interpretation . Furthermore , multiple interpretations of a singular artwork can be created by the viewer . A combination of historical , mythological , and societal context is needed to interpret the stories told within Greek Geometric art . The artwork during the geometric period can be seen as `` supplementary sources and illustrative materials for Greek mythology and Greek literature . '' The scenes that are depicted within Greek Geometric art contain various interpretations through analysis of the depicted scenes . Art historians must decide if the stylistic choices that were made during this time period were for a specific reason or simply coincidental . Motifs ( edit ) The Hirschfeld Krater , mid-8th century BC , from the late Geometric period , depicting ekphora , the act of carrying a body to its grave . National Archaeological Museum , Athens Vases in the Geometric style are characterized by several horizontal bands about the circumference covering the entire vase . Between these lines the geometric artist used a number of other decorative motifs such as the zigzag , the triangle , the meander and the swastika . Besides abstract elements , painters of this era introduced stylized depictions of humans and animals which marks a significant departure from the earlier Protogeometric Art . Many of the surviving objects of this period are funerary objects , a particularly important class of which are the amphorae that acted as grave markers for aristocratic graves , principally the Dipylon Amphora by the Dipylon Master who has been credited with a number of kraters and amphorae from the late geometric period . Linear designs were the principal motif used in this period . The meander pattern was often placed in bands and used to frame the now larger panels of decoration . The areas most used for decoration by potters on shapes such as the amphorae and lekythoi were the neck and belly , which not only offered the greatest liberty for decoration but also emphasized the taller dimensions of the vessels . The first human figures appeared around 770 BC on the handles of vases . The human forms are easily distinguished because they do not overlap with one another , making the painted black forms discernible from one another against the color of the clay body . The male was depicted with a triangular torso , an ovoid head with a blob for a nose and long cylindrical thighs and calves . Female figures were also abstract . Their long hair was depicted as a series of lines , as were their breasts , which appeared as strokes under the armpit . Techniques ( edit ) Two techniques of this time period include red figure pottery and black figure pottery . The black figure pottery started around 700 B.C. , and it remained the dominant style until its successor , red figure pottery , was invented around 530 B.C. . The switch from black figure pottery to red figure pottery was made due to the enhanced detail that red figured pottery allowed its artists .

See also ( edit ) Baseball portal List of Major League Baseball single - game records List of Major League Baseball records considered unbreakable Notes ( edit ) Jump up ^ Prior to 1898 , a player was credited with a stolen base if he took an extra base on a base hit by another player . For example , a baserunner is on first base and the batter singles to right field . If the baserunner reaches second base , then proceeds to take third , he would be credited with a stolen base . The single - season record under modern rules is 130 by Rickey Henderson in 1982 . Jump up ^ Even though Hershiser 's 59 consecutive scoreless innings occurred completely within the 1988 season , other pitchers have had streaks spanning more than one season . Thus , it is necessary to put the record over a career . Jump up ^ Randy Johnson pitched 20 strikeouts working 9 innings in an 11 - inning game .

Give me liberty, or give me death!
Give me Liberty , or give me Death ! - Wikipedia Give me Liberty , or give me Death ! Jump to : navigation , search `` Give me liberty , or give me death ! '' is a quotation attributed to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23 , 1775 , at St. John 's Church in Richmond , Virginia . He is credited with having swung the balance in convincing the convention to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the Revolutionary War . Among the delegates to the convention were future U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington . Contents ( hide ) 1 Publication 2 Reception 3 Precursors 4 `` Liberty or death '' in other contexts 5 See also 6 References 6.1 Footnotes 6.2 Works cited 7 External links Publication ( edit ) The speech was not published until the Port Folio printed a version of it in 1816 . The version of the speech that is known today first appeared in print in Sketches of the Life and Character of Patrick Henry , a biography of Henry by William Wirt , in 1817 . There is debate among historians as to whether , and to what extent , Henry or Wirt should be credited with authorship of the speech and its famous closing words . Reception ( edit ) Whatever the exact words of Henry were , there can be no doubt of their impact . According to Edmund Randolph , the convention sat in silence for several minutes afterwards . Thomas Marshall told his son John Marshall , who later became Chief Justice of the United States , that the speech was `` one of the most bold , vehement , and animated pieces of eloquence that had ever been delivered . '' Edward Carrington , who was listening outside a window of the church , requested that he be buried on that spot . In 1810 , he got his wish . And the drafter of the Virginia Declaration of Rights , George Mason , said , `` Every word he says not only engages but commands the attention , and your passions are no longer your own when he addresses them . '' More immediately , the resolution , declaring the United Colonies to be independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain , passed , and Henry was named chairman of the committee assigned to build a militia . Britain 's royal governor , Lord Dunmore , reacted by seizing the gunpowder in the public magazine at Williamsburg -- Virginia 's equivalent of the battles of Lexington and Concord . Whatever the exact words of Henry were , `` scholars , understandably , are troubled by the way Wirt brought into print Henry 's classic Liberty or Death speech , '' wrote historian Bernard Mayo . `` Yet ... its expressions ... seemed to have burned themselves into men 's memories . Certainly its spirit is that of the fiery orator who in 1775 so powerfully influenced Virginians and events leading to American independence . '' Precursors ( edit ) There have been similar phrases used before Henry 's speech . The play , Cato , a Tragedy , was popular in the Colonies and well known by the Founding Fathers , who would quote from the play . George Washington had this play performed for the Continental Army at Valley Forge . It contains the line , `` It is not now time to talk of aught / But chains or conquest , liberty or death '' ( Act II , Scene 4 ) . The phrase `` Liberty or Death '' also appears on the Culpeper Minutemen flag of 1775 . `` Liberty or Death '' in other contexts ( edit ) The phrase appears in other nationalist contexts . The national anthem of Uruguay , Orientales , la Patria o la Tumba , contains the line ¡ Libertad o con gloria morir ! ( Liberty or with glory to die ! ) The motto of Greece is `` Liberty or Death '' ( Eleftheria i thanatos ) . It arose during the Greek War of Independence in the 1820s , where it was a war cry for the Greeks who rebelled against Ottoman rule . A popular ( and possibly concocted ) story in Brazil relates that in 1822 , the emperor Dom Pedro I uttered the famous Cry from ( the river ) Ipiranga , `` Independence or Death '' ( Independência ou Morte ) , when Brazil was still a colony of Portugal . In March 1941 the motto of the public demonstrations in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia against signing the treaty with Nazi Germany was `` Better grave than slave '' ( Bolje grob nego rob ) . During the Indonesian National Revolution the Pemuda ( youth ) used the phrase `` Merdeka atau Mati '' which means Independence or Death . More recently , in China , Ren Jianyu , a 25 - year - old former college student `` village official '' was given a two - year re-education through labor sentence for an online anti-CPC speech . A T - shirt of Ren 's saying `` Give me liberty or give me death ! '' ( in Chinese ) has been taken as evidence of his anti-social guilt .

Adenoid
Adenoid - wikipedia Adenoid For `` adenoid '' meaning `` glandular '' , `` gland - like '' , or `` lymphatic '' , see glandular and lymphatic . 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 . ( November 2007 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Adenoids Location of the adenoid Details System Lymphatic system Identifiers Latin tonsilla pharyngea MeSH D000234 TA A05. 3.01. 006 FMA 54970 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) The adenoid , also known as a pharyngeal tonsil or nasopharyngeal tonsil , is the superior-most of the tonsils . It is a mass of lymphatic tissue located behind the nasal cavity , in the roof of the nasopharynx , where the nose blends into the throat . In children , it normally forms a soft mound in the roof and back wall of the nasopharynx , just above and behind the uvula . The term adenoid is also used to represent adenoid hypertrophy . Contents 1 Structure 1.1 Development 1.2 Microbiome 2 Clinical significance 2.1 Enlargement 2.2 Adenoid facies 2.3 Removal 3 Popular culture 4 References 5 External links Structure ( edit ) The adenoid is a mass of lymphatic tissue located behind the nasal cavity , in the roof of the nasopharynx , where the nose blends into the throat . The adenoid , unlike the palatine tonsils , has pseudostratified epithelium . The adenoids are part of the so - called Waldeyer ring of lymphoid tissue which includes the palatine tonsils and the lingual tonsils . Development ( edit ) Adenoids develop from a subepithelial infiltration of lymphocytes after the 16th week of embryonic life . After birth , enlargement begins and continues until aged 5 to 7 years . Microbiome ( edit ) Species of bacteria such as lactobacilli , anaerobic streptococci , actinomycosis , Fusobacterium species , and Nocardia are normally present by 6 months of age . Normal flora found in the adenoid consists of alpha - hemolytic streptococci and enterococci , Corynebacterium species , coagulase - negative staphylococci , Neisseria species , Haemophilus species , Micrococcus species , and Stomatococcus species . Clinical significance ( edit ) Enlargement ( edit ) An enlarged adenoid , or adenoid hypertrophy , can become nearly the size of a ping pong ball and completely block airflow through the nasal passages . Even if the enlarged adenoid is not substantial enough to physically block the back of the nose , it can obstruct airflow enough so that breathing through the nose requires an uncomfortable amount of work , and inhalation occurs instead through an open mouth . The enlarged adenoid would also obstruct the nasal airway enough to affect the voice without actually stopping nasal airflow altogether . Symptomatic enlargement between 18 and 24 months of age is not uncommon , meaning that snoring , nasal airway obstruction and obstructed breathing may occur during sleep . However , this may be reasonably expected to decline when children reach school age , and progressive shrinkage may be expected thereafter . Adenoid facies ( edit ) Enlargement of the adenoid , especially in children , causes an atypical appearance of the face , often referred to as adenoid facies . Features of adenoid facies include mouth breathing , an elongated face , prominent incisors , hypoplastic maxilla , short upper lip , elevated nostrils , and a high arched palate . Removal ( edit ) Surgical removal of the adenoid is a procedure called adenoidectomy . Adenoid infection may cause symptoms such as excessive mucus production , which can be treated by its removal . Studies have shown that adenoid regrowth occurs in as many as 19 % of the cases after removal . Carried out through the mouth under a general anaesthetic ( or less commonly a topical ) , adenoidectomy involves the adenoid being curetted , cauterized , lasered , or otherwise ablated . The adenoid is often removed along with the palatine tonsils . Popular culture ( edit ) In 1861 George Catlin published many engravings illustrating adenoid facies and its complications in his book Breath of Life , where he advocated nose - breathing .

The story is based in part on singer Colin Hay 's own experiences , including a prominent reference to a Vegemite sandwich ( a popular snack in Australia ) , which derived from an encounter , during Hay 's travels abroad , with a baker who emigrated from Brunswick , Melbourne . Hay has also said that the lyrics were partly inspired by Barry Humphries ' character Barry McKenzie , a comically stereotypical Australian who tours abroad . Slang and drug terms are featured in the lyrics . They open with the singer travelling in a fried - out Kombi , on a hippie trail , head full of zombie . In Australian slang `` fried - out '' means overheated , Kombi refers to the Volkswagen Type 2 combination van , and having `` a head full of zombie '' refers to the use of a type of marijuana . Hippie trail refers to a subcultural tourist route popular in 1960s and 70s which stretched from Western Europe to South - East Asia . The song also contains the refrain , where beer does flow and men chunder . To `` chunder '' means to vomit . Speaking to Songfacts about the overall meaning of the lyrics , Hay remarked : `` The chorus is really about the selling of Australia in many ways , the overdevelopment of the country . It was a song about the loss of spirit in that country . It 's really about the plundering of the country by greedy people . It is ultimately about celebrating the country , but not in a nationalistic way and not in a flag - waving sense . It 's really more than that . '' The promotional video comically plays out the events of the lyrics , showing Hay and other members of the band riding in a VW van , eating muesli with a ' strange lady ' , eating and drinking in a café , and lying in an opium den . The band are moved along at one point by a man in a shirt and tie who places a ' Sold ' sign in the ground . The exterior shots for the music video were filmed at the Cronulla sand dunes in Sydney . The band are seen carrying a coffin across the dunes at the end . This , Hay has explained , was a warning to his fellow Australians that their country 's identity was dying as a result of over-development and Americanization . Hay has also stated that the same ominous sentiment lies behind the choral line , Ca n't you hear that thunder ? You 'd better run ; you 'd better take cover . Cultural significance ( edit ) The song is a perennial favourite on Australian radio and television , and topped the charts in the US and UK simultaneously in early 1983 . It was later used as a theme song by the crew of Australia II in their successful bid to win the America 's Cup in 1983 , and a remixed version appears during the closing credits of Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles . Men at Work played this song in the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney , alongside other Australian artists . In May 2001 , Australasian Performing Right Association ( APRA ) celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs between 1926 and 2001 , as decided by a 100 strong industry panel , `` Down Under '' was ranked as the fourth song on the list . The song was ranked number 96 on VH1 's 100 Greatest Songs of the 1980s in October 2006 . Copyright lawsuit ( edit ) In 2007 , on the ABC - TV quiz show Spicks and Specks the question was posed `` What children 's song is contained in the song Down Under ? '' The answer , `` Kookaburra '' , a song whose rights were owned by Larrikin Music , resulted in phone calls and emails to Larrikin the next day . Larrikin Music subsequently decided to take legal action against the song 's writers Colin Hay and Ron Strykert . Sections of the flute part of the recording of the song were found to be based on `` Kookaburra '' , written in 1932 by Marion Sinclair . Sinclair died in 1988 and the rights to the Kookaburra song were deemed to have been transferred to publisher Larrikin Music on 21 March 1990 . In the United States , the rights are administered by Music Sales Corporation in New York City . In June 2009 , 28 years after the release of the recording , Larrikin Music sued Men At Work for copyright infringement , alleging that part of the flute riff of `` Down Under '' was copied from `` Kookaburra '' . The counsel for the band 's record label and publishing company ( Sony BMG Music Entertainment and EMI Songs Australia ) claimed that , based on the agreement under which the song was written , the copyright was actually held by the Girl Guides Association . On 30 July , Justice Peter Jacobson of the Federal Court of Australia made a preliminary ruling that Larrikin did own copyright on the song , but the issue of whether or not Hay and Strykert had plagiarised the riff was set aside to be determined at a later date . On 4 February 2010 , Justice Jacobson ruled that Larrikin 's copyright had been infringed because `` Down Under '' reproduced `` a substantial part of Kookaburra '' . When asked how much Larrikin would be seeking in damages , Larrikin 's lawyer Adam Simpson replied : `` anything from what we 've claimed , which is between 40 and 60 per cent , and what they suggest , which is considerably less . '' In court , Larrikin 's principal Norman Lurie gave the opinion that , had the parties negotiated a licence at the outset as willing parties , the royalties would have been between 25 and 50 per cent . On 6 July 2010 , Justice Jacobson handed down a decision that Larrikin receive 5 % of royalties from 2002 . In October 2011 , the band lost its final court bid when the High Court of Australia refused to hear an appeal . Until this high - profile case , `` Kookaburra '' 's standing as a traditional song combined with the lack of visible policing of the song 's rights by its composer had led to the general public perception that the song was within the public domain . The revelation of `` Kookaburra '' 's copyright status , and more - so the pursuit of royalties from it , has generated a negative response among sections of the Australian public . In response to unsourced speculation of a Welsh connection , Dr Rhidian Griffiths pointed out that the Welsh words to the tune were published in 1989 and musicologist Phyllis Kinney stated neither the song 's metre nor its lines were typical Welsh . Colin Hay has since suggested that the deaths of his father , Jim , in 2010 , and of Men at Work flautist Greg Ham in 2012 were directly linked to the stress of the court case . Colin Hay version ( edit ) A new version of the song was produced by Colin Hay , coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of the original 's release . Requested by Telstra for use in an Australian advertising campaign during the 2012 Summer Olympics period , the song was available through iTunes on 31 July . In the new version , Hay intentionally changed the flute part that caused the copyright lawsuit .

who sings do you come from the land down under
[ "\"Down Under\" is a song recorded by Australian rock band Men at Work. It was originally released in 1980 as the B-side to their first local single titled \"Keypunch Operator\", released before the band signed with Columbia Records. Both early songs were written by the group's co-founders, Colin Hay and Ron Strykert. The early version of \"Down Under\" has a slightly different tempo and arrangement from the later Columbia release.[3] The most well known version was then released on Columbia in October 1981 as the third single from their debut album Business as Usual (1981)." ]

She loves dancing as much as her best friend , Rocky , and they dance together . Her parents are divorced and she lives with her brother and mother . Initially , she performs poorly in school partially because of dyslexia ( though this is n't revealed until later ) , but also in part because of her `` trouble - making '' behavior and her lack of motivation . She gradually improves academically as the series progresses . Being fearless , Cece is constantly getting into trouble . Despite her initially failing audition due to stage fright , she eventually earns a spot as a background dancer on the local dance show `` Shake It Up Chicago '' . In `` Shrink it Up '' , it was revealed in a flashback that CeCe and Rocky met together in a ballet class when they were around 5 years old . It was there that they became best friends and CeCe gave her the nickname `` Rocky '' , stating that it was easier to say than her real name , Raquel . CeCe cares for her family very much . She loves her little brother , Flynn , but is irresponsible when babysitting him , such as when she and Rocky forgot him at the park in season one , and when she forgot to buy ingredients for Flynn 's cookies in season two . CeCe and Flynn are shown to have a love and hate relationship , but they comfort each other when the other is down . CeCe has a great relationship with her father , JJ Jones . The two share almost the same personality . CeCe and Flynn say their parents get along better when they 're divorced . CeCe 's best relationship is with her mother , Georgia Jones . They fight sometimes , but always make up . CeCe helps Georgia take care of Flynn , and some times kisses up to her , such as in season one when she wanted a cell phone , and in season two when she wanted to go down to the movie studio her mom worked at and meet Taylor Lautner . In season three , CeCe desperately wanted her mom to find a boyfriend , so she and Rocky set her up with a firefighter named Jeremy Hunter . When Georgia and Jeremy become engaged , Jeremy 's son , Logan ( Leo Howard ) and CeCe agreed to put aside their differences so their parents could be happy . It turned out , though , that at the altar Georgia and Jeremy realized they did n't want to get married and broke up . In `` Future It Up '' , it is revealed that in the future , CeCe marries Logan and they have a son named Logan Junior ( LJ for short ) who looks like and acts like Flynn . CeCe also became a Broadway star . Overall , CeCe has a pretty bad romantic life aside from Season 3 . In `` Opposites Attract It Up '' , CeCe meets and starts dating James , who is the total opposite of CeCe . But in `` Psych It Up '' , James breaks up with her before she can because they have nothing in common . Later on in the episode , she meets with a psychiatrist who tells her she will meet the love of her life soon . When CeCe goes to meet him , it turns out to be a dog who CeCe takes home . In the end though , the dog 's owner , Monroe , takes home his dog and asks out CeCe . It is never confirmed if they broke up or not . CeCe is one of only two characters to appear in every episode ; the other , appropriately enough , is her best friend Rocky . Rocky Blue ( edit ) Raquel `` Rocky '' Blue , portrayed by Zendaya , is a book - smart girl whose heart belongs to dancing . She is a vegetarian and supporter of animal rights , as mentioned in `` Meatball it Up '' . She is always trying to get CeCe out of trouble , which often gets them both into trouble . She is Ty 's younger sister . Their dad is never seen until one Season 2 episode but is mentioned briefly by Ty throughout Season 1 , explaining his absence , as he 's always on business trips . Though Rocky 's real name is Raquel , CeCe gave her the nickname `` Rocky '' when they first met , which eventually caught on with all of Rocky 's friends and family .

Middle cerebral artery
Middle cerebral artery - wikipedia Middle cerebral artery Jump to : navigation , search Middle cerebral artery Outer surface of cerebral hemisphere , showing areas supplied by cerebral arteries . ( Pink is region supplied by middle cerebral artery . ) The arterial circle and arteries of the brain . The middle cerebral arteries ( top of figure ) arise from the internal carotid arteries . Details Source internal carotid arteries Branches anterolateral central arteries Vein middle cerebral vein Supplies cerebrum Identifiers Latin arteria cerebri media Dorlands / Elsevier a_61 / 12153812 TA A12. 2.07. 046 FMA 50079 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) The middle cerebral artery ( MCA ) is one of the three major paired arteries that supply blood to the cerebrum . The MCA arises from the internal carotid and continues into the lateral sulcus where it then branches and projects to many parts of the lateral cerebral cortex . It also supplies blood to the anterior temporal lobes and the insular cortices . The left and right MCAs rise from trifurcations of the internal carotid arteries and thus are connected to the anterior cerebral arteries and the posterior communicating arteries , which connect to the posterior cerebral arteries . The MCAs are not considered a part of the Circle of Willis . Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Frontal lobe 1.2 Parietal lobe 1.3 Temporal lobe 2 Function 3 Clinical significance 3.1 Occlusion 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Structure ( edit ) Middle cerebral artery Middle cerebral artery and its branches ( patient has a hypoplastic A1 segment and an absent PCOM , resulting in a purely MCA angio from internal carotid artery injection ) The middle cerebral artery can be classified into 4 parts : M1 : The sphenoidal segment , so named due to its origin and loose lateral tracking of the sphenoid bone . Although known also as the horizontal segment , this may be misleading since the segment may descend , remain flat , or extend posteriorly the anterior ( dorsad ) in different individuals . The M1 segment perforates the brain with numerous anterolateral central ( lateral lenticulostriate ) arteries , which irrigate the basal ganglia . M2 : Extending anteriorly on the insula , this segment in known as the insular segment . It is also known as the Sylvian segment when the opercular segments are included . The MCA branches may bifurcate or sometimes trifurcate into trunks in this segment which then extend into branches that terminate towards the cortex . M3 : The opercular segments and extends laterally exteriorly from the insula towards the cortex . This segment is sometimes grouped as part of M2 . M4 : These finer terminal or cortical segments irrigate the cortex . They begin at the external of the Sylvian fissure and extend distally away on the cortex of the brain . The M2 and M3 segments may each split into 2 or 3 main trunks ( terminal branches ) with an upper trunk , lower trunk and occasionally a middle trunk . Bifurcations and trifurcations occurs in 50 % and 25 % of the cases respectively . Other cases include duplication of the MCA at the internal carotid artery ( ICA ) or an accessory MCA ( AccMCA ) which arise not from the ICA but as a branch from the anterior cerebral artery . The middle trunk that exist in parts of the population , when present provides the pre-Rolandic , Rolandic , anterior parietal , posterior parietal and the angular artery for irrigation instead of the upper and lower trunks . The branches ( ramus ) of the MCA can be described by the areas that they irrigate . Frontal lobe ( edit ) Lateral frontobasal ( orbitiofrontal ) : This artery branches out anteriorly , superiorly and laterally to vascularize the inferior frontal gyrus . It `` competes '' in size with the frontal polar branch of the anterior cerebral artery Prefrontal arteries : These arteries fan out over the insula and exit to the cortex via the medial surface of the frontal operculum . The arteries fan superiorly over the pars triangularis and vascularize the inferior and middle frontal gyrus . Near the superior frontal gyrus these arteries anastamose with branches from the pericallosal artery of the anterior cerebral artery . Pre-Rolandic artery ( precentral ) : The artery extends out on the medial surface of the operculum and supplies the posterior parts of the middle and inferior frontal gyri as well as the lower parts of the pre-central gyrus . This artery branches once or twice and is relatively invariant across anatomies . Rolandic arteries ( central ) : The artery extends out and exits from the central portion of the operculum then passes inside the central sulcus . This artery bifurcates in 72 % of individuals and irrigates the posterior pre-central gyrus and the inferior portion of the post-central gyrus . Parietal lobe ( edit ) Anterior parietal : This artery usually originates from the anterior or middle MCA trunk . In some cases it branches from the rolandic artery or from the posterior parietal artery . It extends the length of interparietal sulcus and descends slightly posteriorly . Posterior parietal : Emerges from the posterior end of the Sylvian fissure and extends first posteriorly , and then anteriorly along the posterior of the parietal lobe . It also branches to the supramarginal gyrus . Angular : The angular artery is a significant terminal branch of the anterior or middle trunk of the MCA . It emerges from the Sylvian fissure and passes over the anterior transverse temporal gyrus and usually divides into two branches . One of the branches supplies the angular gyrus while the other supplies the supramarginal gyrus , posterior superior temporal gyrus , and the parietooccipital arcus ( sulcus ) . Temporooccipital : The longest cortical artery , it runs posteriorly opposite to the center of the operculum . Upon its exit from the Sylvian fissure , it runs parallel to the superior temporal sulcus and supplies the superior and inferior occipital gyri . This vessel anastamoses with the posterior cerebral artery and may exist as one or two arteries , 67 % or 33 % of the time , respectively . Temporal lobe ( edit ) Temporopolar : The artery extends from the sphenoidal segment of the MCA via the inferior surface of the operculum and supplies the polar and anterior lateral portions of the temporal lobe . The vessel can be identified in 52 % of normal angiograms Anterior temporal : This artery extends in the similar fashion as the temporopolar artery and vascularizes the same regions . Middle temporal : This artery extends from the Sylvian fissure opposite to the inferior frontal gyrus and supplies superior and middle portions of the middle temporal lobe . It can be identified in 79 % of angiograms . Posterior temporal : This artery extends out and away from the operculum and turns in a step-wise manner first inferiorly then posteriorly into the superior temporal sulcus then to the middle temporal sulcus . This vessel supplies posterior portion of the temporal lobe and is the origin of several perforating arteries that irrigate the insula . It is readily identifiable in most radiograms .

Georgie sails the boat along the rainy streets of small town Derry , and is disappointed when it falls down a storm drain . As he attempts to retrieve it Georgie sees a clown in the sewer , who introduces himself as `` Pennywise the Dancing Clown '' . The clown entices Georgie to come closer , then severs his arm and drags him into the sewer . The following summer , Bill and his friends ( loudmouth Richie Tozier , hypochondriac Eddie Kaspbrak , and timid Stan Uris ) run afoul of bully Henry Bowers and his gang . Bill , still haunted by Georgie 's disappearance and the resulting neglect from his grief - stricken parents , discovers that his brother 's body may have washed up in a marshy wasteland called the Barrens . He recruits his friends to check it out , believing his brother may still be alive . `` New kid '' Ben Hanscom learns that the town has been plagued by unexplained tragedies and child disappearances for centuries . He is targeted by Bowers ' gang for being fat , after which he flees into the Barrens and meets Bill 's group . They find the sneaker of a missing girl , while a member of the pursuing Bowers Gang , Patrick Hockstetter , is killed by Pennywise while searching the sewers for Ben . Beverly Marsh , a girl ostracized over rumors of promiscuity , also joins the group ; both Bill and Ben develop feelings for her . Later , the group befriends homeschool student Mike Hanlon after defending him from Bowers . All the while each member of the group has encountered terrifying phenomena in various forms ; these include a menacing clown , a headless boy , a fountain of blood , a diseased and rotting man , a creepy painting come to life , Mike 's parents burning alive , and a phantom Georgie . Now calling themselves `` The Losers Club '' , they realize they are all being terrorized by the same entity . They determine that Pennywise ( or `` It '' ) assumes the appearance of what they fear , awakens every 27 years to feed on the children of Derry before returning to hibernation , and moves about by using sewer lines -- which all lead to a well currently under the creepy , abandoned house at 29 Neibolt Street . After an attack by Pennywise , the group ventures to the house to confront him , only to be separated and terrorized . Eddie breaks his arm , while Pennywise gloats to Bill about Georgie . As they regroup , Beverly impales Pennywise through the head , forcing the clown to retreat . However , after the encounter the group begins to splinter , with only Bill and Beverly resolute in fighting It . Weeks later , after Beverly confronts and incapacitates her sexually abusive father , she is abducted by Pennywise . The Losers Club reassembles and travels back to the Neibolt house to rescue her . Henry Bowers , who has killed his father after being compelled into madness by It , attacks the group . Mike fights back and pushes Bowers down the well to his apparent death . The Losers descend into the sewers and find It 's underground lair , which contains a mountain of decayed circus props and children 's belongings , around which the bodies of missing children float in mid-air . Beverly , now catatonic after being exposed to It 's true form , is restored to consciousness as Ben kisses her . Bill encounters Georgie , but recognizes that he 's Pennywise in disguise . Pennywise attacks the group and takes Bill hostage , offering to spare the others if they let It keep Bill . The Losers reject this and reaffirm their friendship , overcoming their various fears . After a brutal battle they defeat Pennywise and he retreats , with Bill declaring that It will starve during its hibernation . Their victory is bittersweet , as Bill finally accepts his brother 's death and is comforted by his friends . As summer ends , Beverly informs the group of a vision she had while catatonic , where she saw them fighting the creature as adults . The Losers swear a blood oath that they will return to Derry as adults if It returns and destroy the creature once and for all . Stanley , Eddie , Richie , Mike , and Ben make their goodbyes as the group disperses . Beverly tells Bill she is leaving the next day to live with her aunt in Portland . Before she leaves , Bill reveals his feelings and they kiss . Cast Jaeden Lieberher as William `` Bill '' Denbrough : The stuttering leader of the Losers ' Club searching for his missing brother Georgie . Losing his brother makes the battle against It a more personal crusade for him . On the character of Denbrough , Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair , on top of the terror of It and the fear of heights , to which he stated , `` Bill is like a ghost in his own home : nobody sees him because his parents ca n't get over Georgie 's death . '' Ty Simpkins was considered for the role in Cary Fukunaga 's production . Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise Bill Skarsgård as It / Pennywise the Dancing Clown : An ancient , trans - dimensional evil that awakens every twenty - seven years . Will Poulter was previously cast in the role but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts , with Poulter stating , `` I was when Mr. Fukunaga was directing , but the circumstances at New Line are such that a new director 's attached now . '' Poulter continued , `` I think , with all due respect to him of course , I was selected by Cary and subscribed to Cary 's vision for the movie , and so I have n't had a chance to connect with that ( new ) director . '' Mark Rylance , Ben Mendelsohn , Kirk Acevedo , Richard Armitage , Hugo Weaving , and Tilda Swinton were considered for the role , with Mendelsohn passing on the project , as New Line wanted him to take a sizable pay cut . On June 3 , 2016 , The Independent officially reported , after final negotiations took place , that Muschietti had chosen actor Bill Skarsgård to portray the character . On portraying Pennywise , Skarsgård stated , `` It 's such an extreme character . Inhumane , It 's beyond even a sociopath because he 's not even human . He 's not even a clown . I 'm playing just one of the beings It creates . '' Skarsgård described the character further , saying , `` It truly enjoys the shape of the clown Pennywise , and enjoys the game and the hunt . '' He also commented , `` What 's funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else . But he thinks it 's funny . '' On Pennywise 's design , Skarsgård stated , `` It 's important that we do something fresh and original for this one . It 's purposely not going toward that weird , greasy look . '' He also commented on being compared to Tim Curry , stating that , `` ( Curry ) 's performance was truly great , but it 's important for me to do something different because of that . I 'll never be able to make a Tim Curry performance as good as Tim Curry . '' Skarsgård also elaborated on his age , stating , `` There 's a childishness to the character , because he 's so closely linked to the kids . The clown is the manifestation of children 's imaginations , so there 's something child - like about that . '' Producer Dan Lin spoke of Skarsgård 's physical attributes : `` His build is really interesting . He 's really tall and lanky , and feels a little clown like in his movement . When he came in -- we had a lot of different actors read , and when he came in he had a different spin on the character that got us really excited . '' Lin concluded by contrasting the character with that of Heath Ledger 's Joker , `` You 've had ( Ledger ) doing almost a clown joker , you 've seen obviously Tim Curry as a clown . We wanted someone who created a Pennywise character that would stand on its own and Bill came in and created this character that frankly freaked us out . '' Muschietti spoke of Skarsgård 's Pennywise as one not to lurk in the shadows , to which he remarked , `` Pennywise shows up , he 's front and center , and he does his show . He has an act ... So it 's weird all the time , and every little thing implies a further threat . '' Muschietti also spoke of wanting to make the sense of dread that grows in Derry part of the dread of Pennywise , to which he stated , `` He 's not just a character that can shape - shift , his influence is all around . The anticipation of him is almost scarier than the actual Pennywise scares . '' On selecting Skarsgård to portray Pennywise , Muschietti wanted to stay true to the essence of the character , and Skarsgård caught his attention , `` The character has a childish and sweet demeanor , but there 's something very off about him . Bill has that balance in him . He can be sweet and cute , but he can be pretty disturbing . '' Wyatt Oleff as Stanley `` Stan '' Uris : A Jewish mysophobe who is the son of a rabbi . He is studying for his bar mitzvah but is n't interested in religion , which is upsetting to his father . On the character of Uris , Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair , `` Long story short , there 's all sorts of difficult situations , and we had the chance to tell them in a movie that faces directly those conflicts ... the families of the young actors were very open - minded , so we could tell them about subjects that are normally very touchy . '' Jeremy Ray Taylor as Benjamin `` Ben '' Hanscom : Hanscom is the new kid at school and consequently does not have any friends . He likes reading and researching so he spends a lot of time in the library . He is also very overweight , which earns his place in the Losers ' Club , but like all of the Losers , there are underlying facets that define him far more than superficial appearances . On the character of Hanscom , Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair , `` ... Ben is bullied at school . '' Sophia Lillis as Beverly `` Bev '' Marsh : The only female member of the Losers ' Club , she is bullied at school , particularly over false rumors that she is promiscuous . Her home life is also dismal , as she is being abused physically and sexually by her father . On the character of Marsh , Muschietti spoke of her knowing a situation of despair , `` Beverly 's case is of course the worst , because it 's about sexual abuse on a minor . '' In an interview with Rolling Stone , Lillis spoke of Muschietti not wanting her and her co-stars to spend too much time with Skarsgård : `` We actually were n't allowed to see him until our scenes , because we wanted the horror to be real . '' On Skarsgård 's appearance as Pennywise , she recalled , `` Everyone had different reactions , but all of us were like , ' Wow , what did we get ourselves into ? ' One look at him , and ... you know , he 's a really scary clown that wants to kill us . I was a little bit shocked . '' On her connection with her fellow co-stars , she noted that the closeness of the friendships formed allowed Lillis to connect with her own character : `` I relate to Beverly -- the way she deals with her emotions , and the way she was around the Losers . I felt that way around the actual actors . '' Finn Wolfhard as Richard `` Richie '' Tozier : The bespectacled best friend of Bill Denbrough , whose loud mouth and foul language often get him into trouble . Wolfhard , famous as Mike Wheeler in Stranger Things , shared the first image of the Losers Club on his Instagram account , with the photo captioned as `` The Losers Club take Toronto '' , showing the cast of actors who would play the protagonists . Wolfhard was the only actor cast in both this and Fukunaga 's version . On casting Wolfhard as Richie Tozier , Muschietti wanted an actor who not only matched the physical description , but also embodied the character as `` ( S ) ome of the characters of the Losers ' Club are very , very particular and very specific and , for me , you ca n't play Richie Tozier if you 're not Richie Tozier . So , for me that was probably the character where I said , ' Man , I have to find Richie Tozier in real life . ' ( ... ) then along came Finn ( Wolfhard ) , and I immediately realized this kid had a burning need inside to express himself and be funny and when I saw him , I said , ' Yeah , that 's him . ' '' As for the character of Tozier , Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair , `` We do n't know much about Richie 's personality , because he 's the big mouth of the group . But we suppose he 's also neglected at home , and he 's the clown of the band because he needs attention . '' Jack Dylan Grazer as Edward `` Eddie '' Kaspbrak : Kaspbrak is the epitome of the hypochondriac , overly exaggerated by the immense number of objects in his medicine cabinet ; a sickly boy who only feels truly well when he is with his friends . His overbearing mother is the true source of his hypochondria , however ; she has convinced him that he is seriously ill and must stay close to her because only she can protect him . Grazer spoke of his appreciation of films such as Lethal Weapon 2 ( 1989 ) and Batman ( 1989 ) that gave him `` ... insight on how ( he ) could ( improvise ) or reuse those things as references to the time period . '' Chosen Jacobs as Michael `` Mike '' Hanlon : An African American homeschool student and outsider . Orphaned in a fire and raised by his stern grandfather , he is reluctant to take up the family trade as a butcher . On the experience of shooting Muschietti 's piece , Jacobs spoke of the experience as `` ... my favorite summer of my 16 long years on earth ... '' Nicholas Hamilton as Henry Bowers : A young sociopath who leads the Bowers Gang , a gang of older teenage thugs attending Derry High School , and terrorizes the Losers ' Club . Hamilton prepared for the role by studying Jarred Blancard 's portrayal of the character in It ( 1990 ) , and in Hamilton 's words , `` watched all the bits of my original character '' for research . Hamilton added , through the character of Bowers , that `` There 's stuff that I have to do that is really creepy and the opportunity to help share my psychotic side has been really fun . '' Additionally Hamilton stated , `` I recently did a scene where I was working with Jeremy Ray Taylor . I had to terrorize the hell out of him and get right in his face . '' Jackson Robert Scott as George `` Georgie '' Denbrough : The innocent , energetic 7 - year - old brother of Bill Denbrough . His death at the hands of Pennywise sets the stage for the next summer 's events . Additionally , Owen Teague is introduced as Patrick Hockstetter , a psychopathic bully of the Bowers Gang who meets his end early at the hands of Pennywise ; Logan Thompson appears as Victor `` Vic '' Criss , a bully and friend of Henry Bowers who is reluctant to engage in their most sadistic acts ; Jake Sim appears as Reginald `` Belch '' Huggins , another bully and friend of Henry Bowers who is known for his ability to belch on command . Additionally , It 's other forms include ; Javier Botet as The Leper , a diseased and rotting man that encounters Eddie Kaspbrak at the house on 29 Neibolt Street ; and Tatum Lee as Judith , a disturbing woman from a abstract painting that haunts Stan . Stephen Bogaert appears as Alvin Marsh , the abusive father of Beverly Marsh ; Molly Atkinson appears as Sonia Kaspbrak , the overprotective mother of Eddie Kaspbrak ; Geoffrey Pounsett appears as Zack Denbrough , the father of Bill and George Denbrough ; Pip Dwyer appears as Sharon Denbrough , the mother of Bill and George Denbrough ; Stuart Hughes appears as Oscar `` Butch '' Bowers , a police officer and abusive father of Henry Bowers ; Steven Williams appears as Leroy Hanlon , the stern grandfather of Mike Hanlon , who runs a nearby abattoir ; Ari Cohen appears as Rabbi Uris , the father of Stanley Uris ; Joe Bostick and Megan Charpentier appear as Mr. Keene and Gretta Keene , the pharmacist at Derry and his daughter who targets Beverly for ridicule , respectively . Production The project first entered development in 2009 . The proposed film adaptation went through three phases of planning : initially a single film with screenwriter David Kajganich ; then the dual film project , first with Cary Fukunaga attached as director and co-writer , then with Andy Muschietti . Kajganich project ( 2009 -- 2010 ) On March 12 , 2009 , Variety reported that Warner Bros. would bring Stephen King 's novel to the big screen , with David Kajganich adapting the novel , and Dan Lin , Roy Lee and Doug Davison producing the piece . When Kajganich learnt of Warner Bros . ' plans to adapt King 's novel , he went after the job . Knowing that Warner Bros. was committed to adapting It as a single feature film , Kajganich began to reread the novel in an attempt to try to find a structure that would accommodate such a large number of characters in two different time periods , around 120 pages , which was one of Warner Bros . ' stipulations . Kajganich worked with Lin , Lee , and Davison on The Invasion ( 2007 ) , and he knew they would champion good storytelling , and allow him the time to work out a solid first draft of the screenplay . Kajganich spoke of the remake being set in the , `` mid-1980s and in the present ... mirroring the twenty - odd - year gap King uses in the book ... and with a great deal of care and attention paid to the backstories of all the characters '' . Kajganich also mentioned that Warner Bros. wished for the adaptation to be rated R , saying , `` ... we can really honor the book and engage with the traumas ( both the paranormal ones and those they deal with at home and school ) that these characters endure '' . He said that his dream choice for Pennywise would be Buster Keaton if he were still alive , and that the Pennywise that he scripted is `` less self - conscious of his own irony and surreality '' . As of June 29 , 2010 , Kajganich was re-writing his screenplay . Fukunaga project ( 2012 -- 2015 ) `` I am in the midst of rewriting the first script now . We 're not working on the second part yet . The first script is just about the kids . It 's more like The Goonies ( 1985 ) meets a horror film ... We 're definitely honoring the spirit of Stephen King , but the horror has to be modernized to make it relevant . That 's my job , right now , on this pass . I 'm working on making the horror more about suspense than visualization of any creatures . I just do n't think that 's scary . What could be there , and the sounds and how it interacts with things , is scarier than actual monsters . '' -- Cary Fukunaga , on the development of It On June 7 , 2012 , The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Cary Fukunaga was boarding the project as director , and would co-write the script with Chase Palmer . The producers were now Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment , Dan Lin of Lin Pictures , and Seth Grahame - Smith and David Katzenberg of KatzSmith Productions . On May 21 , 2014 , Warner Bros. was announced to have moved the film to its New Line Cinema division , with overseer duties conducting by New Line 's Walter Hamada and Dave Neustadter , along with Vice President of Production at Warner Bros. , Niija Kuykendall . On December 5 , 2014 , in an interview with Vulture , Dan Lin announced that the first film would be a coming - of - age story about the children tormented by It , and the second will skip ahead in time as those same characters band together to continue the fight as adults . Lin also stated that Fukunaga was then only committed to directing the first film , though was currently closing a deal to co-write the second . Lin concluded by mentioning King , to which he remarked , `` The most important thing is that ( King ) gave us his blessing . We did n't want to make this unless he felt it was the right way to go , and when we sent him the script , the response that Cary got back was , ' Go with God , please ! This is the version the studio should make . ' So that was really gratifying . '' Lin confirmed that Fukunaga was set to begin principal photography in the summer of 2016 . On February 3 , 2015 , Fukunaga was interviewed by Slate , and spoke about It , mentioning that he has someone in mind for the role of Pennywise . On March 3 , 2015 , Fukunaga noted his goal to find the `` perfect guy to play Pennywise '' . Fukunaga also revealed that he , Kajganich and Palmer had changed the names and dates in the script , adding , `` ... the spirit is similar to what he 'd like to see in cinemas '' . On May 4 , 2015 , it was officially announced that Will Poulter had been cast to play Pennywise , after Fukunaga was `` blown away '' by his audition . Ty Simpkins was then considered to play one of The Losers ' Club members . On May 25 , 2015 , it was reported that Fukunaga had dropped out as the director of It . According to TheWrap , Fukunaga clashed with the studio and did not want to compromise his artistic vision in the wake of budget cuts by New Line , which greenlit the first film at $30 million . However , Fukunaga maintained that was not the case , stating he had bigger disagreements with New Line over the direction of the story , `` I was trying to make an unconventional horror film . It did n't fit into the algorithm of what they knew they could spend and make money back on based on not offending their standard genre audience . '' He made mention that the budget was fine , as well as his desire to make Pennywise more than just the clown . Fukunaga concluded by stating , `` We invested years and so much anecdotal storytelling in it . Chase and I both put our childhood in that story . So our biggest fear was they were going to take our script and bastardize it ... So I 'm actually thankful that they are going to rewrite the script . I would n't want them to stealing our childhood memories and using that ... I was honoring King 's spirit of it , but I needed to update it . King saw an earlier draft and liked it . '' On Fukunaga 's departure , King wrote , `` The remake of IT may be dead -- or undead -- but we 'll always have Tim Curry . He 's still floating down in the sewers of Derry . '' Muschietti project ( 2015 -- 2017 ) `` The way Cary intended to execute the script is something that only he can talk about . I can say my version of It highly emphasizes Pennywise 's most terrifying virtue , which is It 's ability to materialise into your worse fear ; I want to take people in a journey into Pennywise 's world through a disturbing , surrealistic and intoxicating experience that will leave nobody at ease . '' -- Andy Muschietti , on his version of It On July 16 , 2015 , it was announced that Andy Muschietti was in negotiations to direct It , with New Line beginning a search for a new writer to tailor a script to Muschietti 's vision . The announcement also confirmed the possible participation of Muschietti 's sister , Barbara Muschietti , as a producer , and Richard Brener joining Hamada , Neustadter and Kuykendall to oversee the project . On April 22 , 2016 , it was indicated that Will Poulter , who had been cast to portray Pennywise in Fukunaga 's version , had dropped out of the film due to a scheduling conflict and that executives were meeting with actors to portray the antagonist . Also that day , New Line Cinema set the film for a release of September 8 , 2017 . On October 30 , 2015 , Muschietti was interviewed by Variety wherein he spoke about his vision of It , while mentioning Poulter was still in the mix for the role of Pennywise : `` ( Poulter ) would be a great option . For me he is at the top of my list ... '' He confirmed that next summer is the time for them to start shooting . It was decided to shoot It during the summer months to give the filmmakers time to work with the children who have the main roles in the first part of the film . Muschietti went on to say that `` King described 50s ' terror iconography '' , adding that he feels there is a whole world now to `` rediscover , to update '' . He said there would not be any mummies or werewolves and that the `` terrors are going to be a lot more surprising '' . On February 19 , 2016 , at the D.I.C.E. Summit 2016 , producer Roy Lee confirmed that Fukunaga and Chase Palmer 's original script had been rewritten , remarking , `` It will hopefully be shooting later this year . We just got the California tax credit ... ( Dauberman ) wrote the most recent draft working with ( Muscetti ) , so it 's being envisioned as two movies . '' On May 5 , 2016 , in an interview with Collider.com , David Kajganich expressed uncertainty as to whether drafts of his original screenplay would be used by Dauberman and Muschietti , with the writer stating , `` We know there 's a new director , I do n't know myself whether he 's going back to any of the previous drafts or writing from scratch . I may not know until the film comes out . I do n't know how it works ! If you find out let me know . '' On June 2 , 2016 , Jaeden Lieberher was confirmed as portraying lead protagonist Bill Denbrough , while The Hollywood Reporter reported that Bill Skarsgård was in final negotiations to star as Pennywise , with a cast also including Finn Wolfhard , Jack Dylan Grazer , Wyatt Oleff , Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor . Also that day , there was a call for 100 background performers , with the background actor call going from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. ; by 4 p.m. , more than 300 people had gone through . The casting call also asked for a marching band and period cars between 1970 and 1989 . On June 9 , 2016 , The Hollywood Reporter reported that Owen Teague was set to portray Patrick Hockstetter . On June 21 , 2016 , it was officially announced that Nicholas Hamilton had been cast to play Henry Bowers , and Bloody Disgusting reported that Javier Botet had been added to the cast shortly before filming commenced . On June 22 , 2016 , Deadline.com reported that Muschietti had chosen Sophia Lillis to portray Beverly Marsh , and on June 24 , 2016 , Moviepilot wrote that Stephen Bogaert had been added to the cast shortly before filming commenced , portraying Al Marsh , the abusive father of Beverly Marsh . On July 22 , 2016 , Barbara Muschietti was interviewed by Northumberland News ' Karen Longwell , wherein she spoke about the filming locations on It , while mentioning the beauty of Port Hope being one of the reasons as to why it was chosen . Muschietti added , `` We were looking for an idyllic town , one that would be a strong contrast to the story . Port Hope is the kind of place we all wish we had grown up in : long summers riding bicycles , walks by the lake , a lovely main street , charming homes with green lawns , warm people . '' Muschietti also mentioned that 360 extras from the area , from adults to small children , had been involved . On August 11 , 2016 , at The CW TCA presentation for the series Frequency , producer Dan Lin spoke of the piece 's comparison to Netflix 's Stranger Things , describing It being an `` homage to 1980s movies '' , while remarking : `` I think a great analogy is actually Stranger Things , and we 're seeing it on Netflix right now . It 's very much an homage to ' 80s movies , whether it 's classic Stephen King or even Spielberg . Think about Stand by Me ( 1986 ) as far as the bonding amongst the kids . But there is a really scary element in Pennywise . '' Lin continued , speaking of how well the young cast had bonded in the first weeks of shooting , `` We clearly had a great dynamic amongst the kids . Really great chemistry is always a challenging thing with a movie like It because you 're casting kids who do n't have a ton of experience , but it ended up being really natural . Each kid , like a The Goonies ( 1985 ) or Stand by Me ( 1986 ) , has a very specific personality and they 're forming the loser 's club obviously ... We 've spent a few months getting the kids to bond and now they 're going to fight this evil , scary clown . '' On February 9 , 2017 , at the press day for The Lego Batman Movie ( 2017 ) , Lin confirmed that It would be rated R by the MPAA , and stated to Collider.com 's Steve Weintraub , `` If you 're going to make a `` Rated - R movie '' , you have to fully embrace what it is , and you have to embrace the source material . It is a scary clown that 's trying to kill kids ... They do have a scary clown that 's taken over the town of Derry , so it 's going to be rated R . '' On March 11 , 2017 , Muschietti , at the SXSW festival , spoke of an element of the pre-production phase in his attempt to keep Skarsgård separated from the film 's child actors , wherein the actor was not introduced to the young cast until Pennywise 's first encounter with the children : `` It was something that we agreed on , and that 's how it happened ... The day that he showed up on the stage , they f * cking freaked out . Bill is like , seven - foot high , and I ca n't describe how scary he looks in person . He 's a wiry man , crouching , making sounds , snotting , drooling , speaking in Swedish sometimes . Terrifying . '' Muschietti stated that the story had been moved forward , with the scenes with the young Losers Club shifting from the 1950s to the 1980s , while also describing the plot as `` getting much wider '' , with new material not in the novel or the 1990 miniseries . However , Muschietti said he hoped the material would still strike the same emotional resonance that the book did for him when he first read it : `` It 's all about trying to hit the core and the heart . '' On July 12 , 2017 , Muschietti , in an interview with French magazine Mad Movies , spoke of the R rating allowing him to go into adult themes , which was championed from the people at New Line Cinema . He also stated that , `` ... if you aimed for a PG - 13 movie , you had nothing at the end . So we were very lucky that the producers did n't try to stop us . In fact it 's more our own moral compass that sometimes showed us that some things lead us in places where we did n't want to go . '' In the same interview , on July 12 , 2017 , producer Barbara Muschietti added that there was only one scene that was deemed to be too horrific to feature in the new adaptation , stating , `` ... you wo n't find the scene where a kid has his back broken and is thrown in the toilets . We thought that the visual translation of that scene had something that was really too much . '' Muschietti concluded by emphasizing that nothing was removed from the original vision , nor was the violence of any event watered down . On July 19 , 2017 , in an interview with Variety 's Brent Lang , director Muschietti commented of the monstrous forms that It will be taking , as well as noting the fact that they are very different from the incarnations present in King 's story , `` The story is the same , but there are changes in the things the kids are scared of . In the book they 're children in the ' 50s , so the incarnations of the monsters are mainly from movies , so it 's Wolf Man , the Mummy , Frankenstein , ( and ) Dracula . I had a different approach . I wanted to bring out deeper fears , based not only on movie monsters but on childhood traumas . '' While on the topic of the key to a successful horror film , Muschietti concluded by remarking that `` Stay true to what scares you . If you do n't respect that , you ca n't scare anyone . '' Muschietti explained how Skarsgård caught his attention to embody Pennywise , while pointing out that he did not want the young cast to spend too much time with the actor when not shooting , and encouraged them to `` maintain distance '' , wherein Muschietti detailed : `` We wanted to carry the impact of the encounters to when the cameras were rolling . The first scene where Bill interacted with the children , it was fun to see how the plan worked . The kids were really , really creeped out by Bill . He 's pretty intimidating because he 's six - four and has all this makeup . '' Filming Port Hope had undergone a number of changes to transform into the town of Derry . Production designer Mara LePere - Schloop went to Bangor , Maine , to scope out locations , including the Thomas Hill Standpipe , the land running alongside the Kenduskeag Stream that in It is called The Barrens , and the Waterworks on the Penobscot River . LePere - Schloop said that they were hoping to shoot some scenes in the city , and possibly take some aerial shots . On May 31 , 2016 , Third Act Productions was confirmed to have applied to film interior and exterior scenes for It in the municipality of Port Hope , with filming slated for various locations around the municipality from July 11 , 2016 to July 18 , 2016 . Principal photography begun in Toronto , with an original shooting schedule from June 27 to September 6 , 2016 . By July 8 , 2016 , Port Hope had undergone changes to transform it into Derry ; Port Hope Municipal hall was the Derry Public Library , The Port Hope Tourism Centre became the City of Derry office , Ganaraska Financial was remade as Montgomery Financial , Gould 's Shoes store front on Walton Street changed to a butcher shop , The Avanti Hair Design store front changed to Tony 's Barber Shop , an empty storefront at 36 Walton Street changed to Reliance Cleaners , Queen Street Tattoo store front changed to Derry Scoop , a statue of Paul Bunyan was erected in Memorial Park , US flags hung in place of Canadian flags downtown , and Port Hope Capitol Theatre had appeared to be showing Batman ( 1989 ) and Lethal Weapon 2 ( 1989 ) , thus confirming the film 's 1989 setting . On July 11 , 2016 , preliminary shooting took place in Port Hope Town Hall , Memorial Park cenotaph , Queen Street , between Walton and Robertson streets and the Capitol Theatre . On July 12 , 2016 , filming occurred between the intersection of Mill and Walton street , Walton Street bridge , and in front and behind 16 -- 22 Walton Street and Port Hope Town Hall . Other shooting locations included Queen Street between Walton and Roberston street , and Memorial Park , on July 13 . It was also reported , on July 14 , that filming had been set up on the alley between Gould 's Shoe 's and Avanti Hair Design , and John and Hayward streets . Filming moved to Cavan Street , between Highland Drive and Ravine Drive , and Victoria Street South , between Trafalgar Street and Sullivan Street , on July 15 . Filming in Port Hope ended on July 18 , at Watson 's Guardian Drugs . Oshawa had been chosen by producers of It as the next filming location , and on July 20 , 2016 , filming notices were sent out to homes in the area of Eulalie Avenue and James Street , near downtown Oshawa , advising residents that filming would take place in the area from August 5 to August 8 , 2016 . On July 29 , 2016 , it was announced the crew had worked on the formerly vacant lot at the dead end of James Street constructing the set , in the form of a dilapidated old house . It was also remarked that the structure is a facade built around scaffolding that would be used for exterior shots . The set was composed of pre-fabricated modules that were trucked in and put into place by IATSE carpenters . On July 18 , 2016 , production crews had arrived in Riverdale , Toronto , with filming beginning at 450 Pape Ave , which is home to a circa 1902 heritage - designated building called Cranfield House , up until August 19 , 2016 . It was reported on September 4 that filming had wrapped in Oshawa , which included the haunted house location , as well as on Court and Fisher streets . Principal photography was confirmed to have ended in Toronto on September 21 , 2016 , with an altered shooting schedule occurring from June 27 to September 21 , 2016 , and post-production initially beginning on September 14 , 2016 . Design Costume design Pennywise 's gray costume was partly inspired by the clothing style of the Renaissance . On August 16 , 2016 , in an interview with Entertainment Weekly , costume designer Janie Bryant spoke of crafting Pennywise 's form - fitting suit and the inspirations it drew from -- involving a number of eras -- among them Medieval , Renaissance , Elizabethan , and Victorian . Bryant explained that the costume incorporates all these otherworldly past lives , highlighting the point that Pennywise is a clown from a different time . In designing Pennywise 's costume , Bryant included a Fortuny pleating , which gives the costume an almost crepe - like effect , to which Bryant remarked , `` It 's a different technique than what the Elizabethans would do . It 's more organic , it 's more sheer . It has a whimsical , floppy quality to it . It 's not a direct translation of a ruff or a whisk , which were two of the collars popular during the Elizabethan period . '' Bryant played with multiple eras as a way of reflecting Pennywise 's immortality , and added a `` doll - like quality to the costume '' . She further stated , `` The pants being short , the high waistline of the jacket , and the fit of the costume is a very important element . It gives the character a child - like quality . '' Bryant spoke of the two puffs off the shoulder , sleeves and again on the bloomers , with her desire to create an `` organic , gourd or pumpkin kind of effect '' , which includes the peplum at the waist , and the flared , skirt - like fabric blossoming from below his doublet . She explains , `` It helps exaggerate certain parts of the body . The costume is very nipped in the waist and with the peplum and bloomers it has an expansive silhouette . '' The main color of his costume is a dusky gray , but with a few splashes of colour . She concludes the interview by stating , `` The pompoms are orange , and then with the trim around the cuffs and the ankles , it 's basically a ball fringe that 's a combination of orange , red , and cinnamon . It 's almost like Pennywise fades into his environment . But there are accents to pull out the definition of the gray silk . '' Creature design Judith , the woman in the portrait whose form It assumes to terrify Stan , did not appear in the novel . Muschietti based this sequence on the paintings of Amedeo Modigliani , one of which hung in his childhood home , and which he found frightening , interpreting Modigliani 's stylisation as monstrosity . The eponymous creature in Muschietti 's previous film , Mama , was also based on Modigliani 's work . Visual effects Nicholas Brooks was the overall visual effects supervisor , and visual effects company Rodeo FX worked on most of the visual effects on It . Amalgamated Dynamics worked on the special makeup effects . Themes The film has been described as a loss of innocence story , with fear , mortality and survivalist themes . Muschietti remarked of the film 's elements of coming of age and issues of mortality , adding that such themes are prevalent in King 's book , though in reality they occur in a more progressive way , `` There 's a passage ( in It ) that reads , ' Being a kid is learning how to live and being an adult is learning how to die . ' There 's a bit of a metaphor of that and it just happens in a very brutal way , of course . '' He also mentioned the characterization of Pennywise 's survivalist attitude , and a passage in the novel which inspired Muschietti was when Bill wonders if Pennywise is eating children simply because that is what people are told monsters do , `` It 's a tiny bit of information , but that sticks with you so much . Maybe it is real as long as children believe in it . And in a way , Pennywise 's character is motivated by survival . In order to be alive in the imagination of children , he has to keep killing . '' While Muschietti acknowledged It being a horror film , he felt that it is not simply that , `` It 's a story of love and friendship and a lot of other beautiful emotions . '' The graphic sexual content that was in the novel and Fukunaga 's original script was not included in the film .

( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) On January 31 , 2016 , Muschietti , on his Instagram , posted a sketch that was thought to be the precursor to Pennywise 's final look , to celebrate pre-production getting underway . Beginning from July 11 , 2016 , Muschietti posted a variety of missing person posters of children within the Derry area , including Betty Ripsom , Richie Tozier , Paul Greenberg , Jonathan Chan , and Tania McGowan . Muschietti shared a photo of a missing person poster featuring Richie Tozier . The poster lists all of the character 's information , as part of It 's marketing campaign . The first official image for It debuted on July 13 , 2016 , introducing the first look at Skarsgård 's Pennywise The Dancing Clown , as well as an interview with Skarsgård , conducted by Anthony Breznican . Thomas Freeman of Maxim wrote `` ... Skarsgard in full , terrifying costume , ... he 's clearly got what it takes to fill King 's most macabre , nightmare - inducing creation . '' Chris Eggertsen of HitFix responded positively , stating the image to be `` ... an appropriately macabre look that does n't deviate too radically from the aesthetic of Curry 's Pennywise ... dare I say , a more creepily seductive look to Skarsgard 's version that was absent from Curry 's interpretation . '' On July 30 , 2016 , Muschietti released three storyboard images , up until the date of August 22 , 2016 , with the first featuring Bill Denbrough making a paper boat for his younger brother George . The second storyboard features Bill leading his bike , nicknamed Silver , across a lawn with the included phrase : `` He thrusts his fists against the posts but still insists he sees the ghosts '' . The third and final storyboard features Bill asleep next to a sketch of Beverly Marsh . On August 16 , 2016 , Entertainment Weekly released the full costume image of Skarsgård 's Pennywise to promote It , including an interview with costume designer Janie Bryant . JoBlo.com 's Damion Damaske was fond of the new design , though was understanding of others being dismissive of it . Damaske also stated , `` One of the chief complaints is that it looked too automatically scary , and that one of the reasons Pennywise chooses his guise is to trick and lure children . '' Dave Trumbore of Collider.com noted that `` This one 's going to divide some folks . It 's nowhere near as baggy or colorful as the one Tim Curry ... donned ... , but the new version certainly seems to have a lot more thought and intent behind its creation . '' Jonathan Barkan of Bloody Disgusting called the image one of `` ... ( drawing ) attention and curiosity '' . Barkan then stated `` I do n't know if it 's morbid curiosity or hopeful wishes but the overall response to his face and makeup seemed to be quite positive ! '' On March 9 , 2017 , Neha Aziz of SXSW announced that Muschietti would appear at a screening event titled , Face Your Fears , to share footage from It , while discussing his inspirations and influences . On March 11 , 2017 , New Line Cinema showcased its promotion of It by releasing a teaser trailer and a scene at the South by Southwest festival . Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting heralded the trailer : `` It was maybe 90 seconds of footage , but it was a damn impressive 90 seconds of footage ... As far as teasers go , it 's one of the best that I 've ever seen . '' Dread Central 's Jonathan Barkan praised the scene , and stated , `` The kids are clearly very adept at working off one another . There was a chemistry between the four that was wonderful to see and it 's obvious that Muschietti worked very hard to ensure they were believable . '' Eric Vespe of Ai n't It Cool News remarked that `` ... this one scene shows us the key traits of the bulk of the members of the Losers Club within one sequence . I loved it for that reason . '' On March 28 , 2017 , New Line released a 139 - second teaser trailer to promote It , following a 19 - second trailer and the official teaser poster the prior day , and for exhibitors at CinemaCon . Tom Philip of GQ heralded the trailer and its tonality by stating : `` Dark corners everywhere and a pervading sense of absolute doom , even in the scenes where the creature is n't looming . That projector scene ! Christ ! '' Michael Gold of The New York Times praised the trailer , and stated : `` There 's always tension in the sustained string chords of the soundtrack , and it imbues everything with suspense and darkness . '' Wired 's Brian Raftery spoke most highly of the trailer , to which he stated , `` The teaser 's scariest moment features no gore or gotcha - ness ; instead , it involves a misfiring slide - projector and a barely discernible clown - grin . Nothing in the It trailer feels like a cheap thrill , which is all the more thrilling . '' IndieWire 's William Earl reacted positively to the `` top - notch '' production design of Derry , Maine within the trailer . The trailer reached 197 million views in its first 24 hours , setting a new record as the trailer with the most views in one day . In addition to dethroning The Fate of the Furious ( 2017 ) , the trailer numbers surpassed previous records held by Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( 2015 ) , Fifty Shades Darker ( 2017 ) , and Beauty and the Beast ( 2017 ) . On May 7 , 2017 , a second teaser trailer , this one lasting 137 seconds , was shown at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in Los Angeles , California , with the new preview showcasing a snippet of the film where the `` Losers ' Club '' search for Pennywise 's many victims . Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone felt snippet of the film `` was initially ... similar to Stand by Me ( 1986 ) , with the Losers ' Club playfully bantering about `` gray water '' ... A series of scary images soon follow before the trailer ends on Pennywise doing unimaginable balloon tricks to lure a victim . '' Matt Goldberg of Collider.com praised the trailer , and stated : `` This new trailer really plays up the kids ' role and their fears . It 's a smart move , because if a sequel does come along , it 's going to be looking at the kids as adults , so that aspect will be lost . '' Digital Spy 's Jack Tomlin spoke of the clarity in that director Muschietti 's film will carry on down the `` creepy as hell '' vibe he gave the first trailer . On July 13 , 2017 , Entertainment Weekly released a collection of new images and concept art such as Pennywise 's lair to promote It , including commentary from director Andrés Muschietti . On July 19 , 2017 , New Line Cinema showcased its promotion of It , by releasing three reels of footage at San Diego Comic - Con , before an advanced screening of Annabelle : Creation ( 2017 ) . Reception Box Office It has grossed $327.5 million in the United States and Canada , and $370.6 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $698.1 million , against a production budget of $35 million . In North America , initial opening weekend projections had the film grossing $50 -- 60 million . By the week of its release , estimates were raised to $60 -- 70 million , with a chance to go higher if word of mouth was strong . It opened in 4,103 theaters , setting the record for most venues for an R - rated film ( beating Logan 's 4,071 from the past March ) . A few days before its release , the film became Fandango 's top horror pre-seller of all - time , eclipsing Paranormal Activity 3 ( 2011 ) , as well as setting the record as the site 's top pre-seller among September releases , beating Sully ( 2016 ) . The film made $13.5 million from Thursday night previews , setting the record for highest amount by both an R - rated ( besting Deadpool 's $12.6 million ) and a horror film . Due to the high Thursday gross , Deadline.com noted some industry trackers upped weekend projections to $90 million . It went on to have an opening day of $50.2 million ( including previews ) , increasing weekend projections to over $100 million . The film 's Friday gross not only set a record for biggest single - day amount by an R - rated film ( beating Deadpool 's $47.3 million ) but nearly eclipsed Paranormal Activity 3 's entire weekend gross of $52.6 million , which was the highest opening weekend gross for a horror film . It went on to open to $123.1 million , setting the records for largest opening weekend for both a September release and a horror film , and was the second - biggest debut for an R - rated film behind Deadpool ( $132.4 million ) . Variety and Deadline both noted that the film 's opening weekend could have been even greater if not for Hurricane Irma shutting down nearly 50 % of Florida 's theaters , a state that typically accounts for 5 % of the country 's box office grosses . During its first full week , the film made $8.8 million on Monday , $11.4 million on Tuesday , $7.9 million on Wednesday and $7.2 million on Thursday , each setting September records for their respective days . In its second weekend the film grossed $60.1 million ( a better - than - average for horror films drop of 51 % ) , making more in its second weekend than previous opening record holder Paranormal Activity 3 made in its first , and again topped the box office . It also pushed the domestic total to $218.7 million , overtaking Crocodile Dundee for highest - grossing September film ( $174.8 million in 1984 ) . In its third week the film was dethroned by newcomer Kingsman : The Golden Circle , finishing second at the box office with $29.7 million . In its fourth week , the film initially made a projected gross of $17.3 million , apparently retaking its top spot at the box office ahead of Kingsman ( $17 million ) . However the following day , actual results had the film finishing in second by a gross of $16.93 million to $16.90 million , while beating out newcomer American Made ( $16.8 million ) . The film continued to hold well in the following weeks , making $10 million and $6.1 million in its fifth and sixth weeks , finishing a respective 3rd and 4th at the box office . Critical response Bill Skarsgård 's portrayal of Pennywise the Dancing Clown received widespread praise from critics and audiences . On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 85 % based on 288 reviews , with an average rating of 7.2 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Well - acted and fiendishly frightening with an emotionally affecting story at its core , It amplifies the horror in Stephen King 's classic story without losing touch with its heart . '' Metacritic , another review aggregator , assigned the film a weighted average score of 70 out of 100 , based on 48 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale . Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 4 out of 4 stars , saying : `` What will REALLY put a chill down your spine and raise the hairs on the back of your neck are the moments when an adolescent character is isolated from friends , all alone in the cellar or the bathroom or the alley or a dark office , and something they 've long feared springs to ' life ' in a certain fashion , confirming their worst sense of dread and doom . '' Andrew Barker of Variety praised the visuals and cast , while acknowledging the familiarities , calling the film `` a collection of alternately terrifying , hallucinatory , and ludicrous nightmare imagery ... a series of well - crafted yet decreasingly effective suspense setpieces ; and a series of well - acted coming - of - age sequences that do n't quite fully mature . '' Mark Kermode of The Guardian gave the film 4 out of 5 stars , writing that the film `` is an energetic romp with crowd - pleasing appeal that is n't afraid to bare its gory teeth '' . Christopher Orr of The Atlantic gave the film a mixed review , calling it `` a solid but relatively conventional horror movie '' and writing that it `` privileges CGI scares over dread and nuance '' . Some critics were disappointed with the film 's implementation of jump scares . Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune noted the film 's `` diminishing returns of one jump scare after another '' , writing that `` nearly every scene begins and ends the same way , with a slow build ... leading up to a KAAA - WHUMMMMMM ! ! ! ! sound effect '' . Eric Kohn of IndieWire praised the film 's visuals but wrote that it `` simplifies its appeal with jump scares '' , and Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly lauded the child actors but wrote that `` the more we see of Pennywise , the less scary he becomes '' .

'' On July 19 , 2017 , Muschietti revealed that the plan is to get production underway for the sequel to It next spring , adding , `` We 'll probably have a script for the second part in January ( 2018 ) . Ideally , we would start prep in March . Part one is only about the kids . Part two is about these characters 30 years later as adults , with flashbacks to 1989 when they were kids . '' On July 21 , 2017 , Muschietti spoke of looking forward to having a dialogue in the second film that does not exist within the first , stating , `` ... it seems like we 're going to do it . It 's the second half , it 's not a sequel . It 's the second half and it 's very connected to the first one . '' Muschietti confirmed that two cut scenes from the film will hopefully be included in the second , one of which being the fire at the Black Spot from the book . On September 25 , 2017 , New Line Cinema announced that the sequel would be released on September 6 , 2019 , with Gary Dauberman penning the script . Later in December 2017 , Agent Cody Banks writer Jeffrey Jurgensen was also listed as a screenwriter . Notes Jump up ^ Writers Andy Muschietti , Cary Fukunaga and David Kajganich refer to Skarsgård 's character as Pennywise , in various interviews -- most notably with Collider.com . Additionally the name Pennywise the Dancing Clown is what Pennywise introduces himself as to Georgie Denbrough ; the term It is n't used in either of these cases . References Jump up ^ `` IT '' .

Launched in 1993 during Canada 's 35th general election , the show focuses on Canadian politics with a combination of news parody , sketch comedy and satirical editorials . Originally featuring Cathy Jones , Rick Mercer , Greg Thomey and Mary Walsh , the series featured satirical sketches of the weekly news and Canadian political events . The show 's format is a mock news program , intercut with comic sketches , parody commercials and humorous interviews of public figures . The on - location segments are frequently filmed with slanted camera angles . Its full name is a parody of This Hour Has Seven Days , a CBC newsmagazine from the 1960s ; the `` 22 Minutes '' refers to the fact that a half - hour television program in Canada and the U.S. is typically 22 minutes long with eight minutes of commercials . Jones and Walsh had previously worked together on the sketch comedy series CODCO , on which Thomey sometimes appeared as a guest . Mercer had been a notable young writer and performer on his own , touring several successful one - man shows of comedic political commentary . Salter Street Films produced the series until the 2003 -- 2004 season . Salter Street was acquired in 2001 by Alliance Atlantis , and production of the series was transferred directly to Alliance Atlantis in the twelfth season . In 2005 , Halifax Film , a new company formed by Salter co-founder Michael Donovan , produced the show , but was acquired by DHX Media in 2006 , which has produced the show since . Recognized with 24 Gemini Awards and 11 Canadian Comedy Awards , 22 Minutes is broadcast on the CBC Television network . It is taped before a live audience in Studio 1 at CBHT in Halifax , Nova Scotia . The series , which originally aired on Mondays for several seasons and later on Fridays , currently airs Tuesdays at 8 : 30pm on CBC , after the Rick Mercer Report .

'' The object is to see how little some Americans know about their northern neighbours . The piece was so popular that the CBC had Mercer create a one - hour TV special based on the segment . It became the highest rated comedy special in Canadian television history when it aired on Canada Day , 2001 . Some truly memorable bits include Mercer getting Americans to say `` Congratulations Canada on legalizing VCRs ! '' and getting a professor at Princeton University to sign a petition against the re-starting of the Annual Toronto Polar Bear Hunt . In an election 2000 segment , he convinced then - Governor of Texas George W. Bush that Canada 's Prime Minister Jean Chrétien was named Jean Poutine and that he was supporting Bush 's candidacy .

Famous stunts ( edit ) Jean Poutine ( edit ) 1999 -- 2000 -- During the 2000 American election , Rick Mercer approached Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush on a campaign stop in Michigan , asking for comment on the news that Bush had received the endorsement of Canadian prime minister `` Jean Poutine '' . The then - prime minister 's name was Jean Chrétien , and he had not endorsed Bush -- it is standard practice for the Canadian government not to endorse anyone in a foreign election . Bush -- who had previously stated that `` you ca n't stump me on world leaders '' -- acknowledged the purported endorsement with a short statement to the 22 Minutes cameras , which aired as part of the show 's regular Talking to Americans feature . The Talking To Americans segments -- and eventual one - hour special -- were produced and directed by Geoff D'Eon . In his first official state visit to Canada four years later , Bush joked that his `` one regret '' about the visit was that he 'd `` hoped to meet Jean Poutine . '' Stockwell / Doris petition ( edit ) 2000 -- 01 -- Often cited as the show 's best joke , the sketch was aired during the 2000 federal election campaign , and consisted of a staged rant by Rick Mercer . During the 2000 federal election , then - Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day proposed a mechanism to call for a referendum . A petition on any particular subject which gathered at least 350,000 signatures of voting age citizens ( `` 3 % of the electors '' ) would automatically trigger a national referendum . Mercer 's `` rant '' asked viewers to log on to the 22 Minutes website , and sign an online petition asking the party leader to change his name to Doris Day ( after the singer / actress ) . Producers claim to have obtained in excess of 1,200,000 online votes . This was cheerfully admitted to be a stunt unhampered by the rigours of an Elections Canada - controlled petition . Although the sketch had no effect on Alliance policy , it did obtain international publicity for the show and contributed to the general air of farce surrounding Day 's election campaign . Day did , however , have a very appropriate response to the petition : `` Que será , será '' . Oilers vs Canadiens ( edit ) 2003 -- 04 -- Shaun Majumder , in character as `` Raj Binder '' , was sent to report on the 2003 outdoors Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens old timers game , preceding the night 's actual NHL regular season game , which was the first NHL game to be played outdoors ( at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton ) . Majumder actually sneaked into all the team photos , causing uproar from the event 's unwitting organizers in the days after , when the photos were released to the press . Marg ambushes Rob Ford ( edit ) On October 24 , 2011 , Walsh reprised the role of `` Marg , Princess Warrior '' , conducting an ambush interview of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford at his home , which aired on 22 Minutes the following evening . Ford 's reaction and alleged verbal abuse directed at a 911 operator made national headlines . Ford claimed that he had never seen nor heard of 22 Minutes . Controversies ( edit ) Typeface used in logo up to 2009 On November 17 , 2004 , clips of a sketch for 22 Minutes were released , in which MP Carolyn Parrish stomped on a George W. Bush doll and performed voodoo on its head , where she said `` it would do the least damage '' . The incident sparked significant outrage from the opposition Conservatives , who argued that it had the potential to damage diplomatic relations between Canada and the United States . As a result of the incident Parrish was expelled from the Liberal Party and sat the remainder of her term as an Independent . Richard Martineau wrote a column in Le Journal de Montréal criticizing a sketch aired October 7 , 2007 entitled `` Quebec Nation '' . In the sketch , two characters discussed the state of affairs after a separation from Canada , which left them with `` no roads , no towns , not even radio . The only things we take ( sic ) is our racism '' . Martineau also discussed the fact that This Hour Has 22 Minutes is broadcast by the CBC and is funded by funds also coming from Quebec . In May 2015 , the American sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live aired a sketch in which a contestant on a Win , Lose or Draw - style game show panicked at being asked to draw the Muslim prophet Muhammad , igniting allegations that SNL had plagiarized a nearly identical sketch which aired on 22 Minutes in January .

Release date June 12 , 1987 ( 1987 - 06 - 12 ) Running time 118 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $22 million Box office $63.8 million The Witches of Eastwick is a 1987 American comedy - fantasy film based on John Updike 's novel The Witches of Eastwick . Directed by George Miller , the film stars Jack Nicholson as Daryl Van Horne , alongside Cher , Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon as the eponymous witches . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Differences from novel 4 Production 4.1 Filming 4.2 Music 5 Reception 5.1 Critical response 5.2 Awards and honors 6 References 7 External links Plot ( edit ) Alexandra Medford ( Cher ) , Jane Spofford ( Susan Sarandon ) , and Sukie Ridgemont ( Michelle Pfeiffer ) are three dissatisfied women living in the picturesque town of Eastwick , Rhode Island . Alex is a sculptor and single mother of one daughter ; Jane is a newly divorced music teacher unable to have children ; while Sukie has six daughters and works as a columnist for the Eastwick Word , the local newspaper . The three friends all have lost their husbands ( Alex 's died , Jane 's divorced her , and Sukie 's abandoned her ) . Unaware that they are witches , the women unwittingly form a coven where they have weekly get - togethers and share their fantasies about ideal men . A mysterious man ( Jack Nicholson ) arrives in town and stirs up trouble by buying the town 's landmark property : the Lennox Mansion . The arrival of this enigmatic stranger fascinates the townsfolk , all except for Felicia Alden ( Veronica Cartwright ) , the devoutly religious wife of newspaper editor Clyde Alden ( Richard Jenkins ) , Sukie 's boss . Felicia senses that this man ( whose name is easily forgotten ) is up to no good . One night , at one of Jane 's music recitals , the strange man appears and makes a spectacle of himself , which leads to more gossip . After the recital , Jane receives a bouquet of flowers with the initial D written on it . This sparks Sukie 's memory , finally revealing the man 's name as Daryl Van Horne . However , as chaos over the name spreads through the crowd , Sukie 's bead necklace inexplicably breaks and falls to the floor , causing Felicia ( who had mocked Daryl 's name ) to trip down a large staircase and break her leg . The following day , Daryl sets out to seduce Alex . As he converses with her , he says insensitive , disgusting , and rude things every time he speaks . Appalled , she tells him off , refuses his amorous advances , and begins to walk out . Before she opens the door , he speaks to her , manipulating her emotions until she eventually agrees . The next morning , Daryl visits the shy and insecure Jane . As the two sit down and share polite conversation , Jane explains that the Lennox Mansion was built on a site where alleged witches were burned at the stake . Later that night , Daryl encourages Jane to play her cello with wild abandon , never before achieved , playing faster and faster while accompanied by Daryl on the piano , until finally the strings break , the cello bursts into flame , and Jane flings herself upon Daryl with passion . The following week , Daryl invites all three of the women to his mansion , his sights now on Sukie . Later , as envy and rivalry emerge among the women , they inadvertently levitate a tennis ball . Finally aware of their magical abilities , the women agree to share Daryl . As the women spend more time at Daryl 's mansion , Felicia spreads rumors about their indecency . Alex , Jane , and Sukie become social outcasts . As the witches begin to question their loyalty to Daryl , he causes them to unknowingly cast a spell against Felicia . Later that night , while ranting to her husband about Daryl being the Devil , Felicia begins to vomit cherry stones . Horrified by her uncontrollable behavior , Clyde kills her with a fire poker . After Felicia 's death , the three women become fearful of their powers and agree to avoid each other and Daryl until the situation has quieted down . Upset by this abandonment , Daryl uses his own powers to bring their worst fears to life . Alex awakens to a bed full of snakes ; Jane 's body begins rapidly aging ; and Sukie experiences sudden , agonizing pain . Realizing the only way to get rid of Daryl is by using witchcraft against him , the women reunite with him , pretending to have made amends . The next morning , Daryl sets out to buy bagels and ice cream , as per the request of the three women . While he is out of the mansion , Alex uses wax & Daryl 's hair to create a voodoo doll in his image and the three women begin to harm the doll , hoping that Daryl will leave as a result . As the spell takes effect , Daryl - still in town - is buffeted by a sudden wind and begins to feel excruciating pain ( each event corresponding to something the doll undergoes ) . He runs inside a church to hide from the wind and finds it full of people praying . Realizing the source of his troubles , he begins ranting about the women , cursing them as a group before vomiting cherry pits like Felicia did . An enraged Daryl then races home to punish the witches for their betrayal . Realizing their plot to make Daryl leave was ineffective , they attempt to hide their spell and toss the voodoo doll into a fire just as he enters the mansion . Daryl vanishes as a result , but not before reverting to a large , monstrous form that attempts to shake the mansion apart . Eighteen months later , the women are living together in Daryl 's mansion , each with a new baby son ( each boy shares his mother 's hair color ) . The boys are playing together when Daryl appears on a wall filled with video screens and invites them to `` give Daddy a kiss . '' Before they can do so , Alex , Jane , and Sukie appear and switch off the televisions . Cast ( edit ) Jack Nicholson as Daryl Van Horne Cher as Alexandra Medford Susan Sarandon as Jane Spofford Michelle Pfeiffer as Sukie Ridgemont Veronica Cartwright as Felicia Alden Richard Jenkins as Clyde Alden Keith Jochim as Walter Neff Becca Lish as Mrs. Neff Carel Struycken as Fidel At one point , Bill Murray was considered for the role of Daryl Van Horne . Differences from novel ( edit ) While the film follows the basic structure of the novel , several major developments are dropped , with the book being darker in tone . The setting of both is Rhode Island , but the novel sets the time during the late 1960s . In the novel , Daryl is more devil - like : less of an enabler and more of a selfish , perverse predator and architect of mayhem . Also , the film omits a key episode in the book , where Daryl unexpectedly marries a young , innocent girl named Jenny , and the jealous three witches magically cause her to die of cancer . Production ( edit ) Filming ( edit ) While The Witches of Eastwick was originally set to be filmed in Little Compton , Rhode Island , Warner Bros. instead turned to Cohasset , Massachusetts after controversy erupted in Little Compton over whether or not its Congregational church should be involved with the film 's production . Principal photography began on July 14 , 1986 and took place over the course of six weeks in Cohasset and nearby Massachusetts towns , such as Marblehead , and Scituate . Castle Hill in Ipswich , Massachusetts was used for the exterior of the Lenox Mansion , while the lobby of the Wang Center in Boston stood in for the main hall . Other interiors were filmed at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills , though the swimming pool and Daryl 's library were sets built on the Warner Bros. backlot . Prior to filming , a small carving shop led by woodcarver Paul McCarthy was commissioned to hand - carve all the wooden signs for the businesses shown in the movie , including the newspaper where Michelle Pfeiffer 's character worked -- The Eastwick Word . Music ( edit ) The musical score for The Witches of Eastwick was composed by John Williams . A soundtrack album was released by Warner Bros. Records in 1987 . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The Witches of Eastwick received positive reviews . It currently holds a rating of 73 % on Rotten Tomatoes , with the consensus `` A wickedly funny tale of three witches and their duel with the Devil , fueled by some delicious fantasy and arch comedic performances . '' On Metacritic , based on 10 critics , the film has a 68 / 100 rating , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . The Washington Post wrote that `` Hollywood pulls out all the stops here , including a reordering of John Updike 's original book to give you one flashy and chock - full - o ' - surprises witches ' tale . '' Janet Maslin in The New York Times commended the `` bright , flashy , exclamatory style . '' Variety described it as a `` very funny and irresistible set - up . '' Some critics thought that the last part of the film spiraled into ridiculousness . The Washington Post wrote that the second half `` lost its magic and degenerated into bunk . '' According to The New York Times , `` beneath the surface charm there is too much confusion , and the charm itself is gone long before the film is over . '' Time Out wrote that `` the last 20 minutes dive straight to the bottom of the proverbial barrel with a final crass orgy of special effects . '' Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun - Times acknowledged that `` the movie 's climax is overdone '' yet added that `` a lot of the time this movie plays like a plausible story about implausible people . '' The majority of critics saw the film as a showcase for Nicholson 's comic talents . The Chicago Sun - Times thought it `` a role he was born to fill ... There is a scene where he dresses in satin pajamas and sprawls full length on a bed , twisting and stretching sinuously in full enjoyment of his sensuality . It is one of the funniest moments of physical humor he has ever committed . '' The New York Times wrote that although `` the performers are eminently watchable ... none of them seem a match for Mr. Nicholson 's self - proclaimed ' horny little devil ' . '' Variety called it a `` no - holds - barred performance , '' and wrote that the `` spectacle of the film is really Nicholson . '' The Washington Post wrote that Nicholson was `` undisputably the star of The Witches of Eastwick , despite formidable competition from his coven played by Cher , Michelle Pfeiffer , and Susan Sarandon , '' although even more praise was reserved for Veronica Cartwright in an eccentric , scene - stealing supporting role . Ruth Crawford wrote : `` This film includes many fantasy elements . By far the most fantastic of them is the depiction of a single mother of five , who has to work for a living and still has plenty of time and energy left to engage in wild adventures of sex and magic . If being a witch gives you the ability to do that , quite a few women I know would be very happy to sign up at the nearest coven . '' Awards and honors ( edit ) The film was nominated for two Academy Awards in the categories of Best Original Score ( for John Williams ' music ) and Best Sound , winning neither . The film won a BAFTA Award , however , in the category of Best Special Effects , and received a nomination for the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation . Williams was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Album of Original Instrumental Background Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television , and won a BMI Film Music Award . Jack Nicholson won a Saturn Award for Best Actor , and the film received nominations in a further six categories : Best Fantasy Film , Best Actress ( Susan Sarandon ) , Best Supporting Actress ( Veronica Cartwright ) , Best Writing ( Michael Cristofer ) , Best Music ( John Williams ) , and Best Special Effects .

where did they film the witches of eastwick
[ "While The Witches of Eastwick was originally set to be filmed in Little Compton, Rhode Island, Warner Bros. instead turned to Cohasset, Massachusetts after controversy erupted in Little Compton over whether or not its Congregational church should be involved with the film's production.[7][8] Principal photography began on July 14, 1986 and took place over the course of six weeks in Cohasset and nearby Massachusetts towns,[9] such as Marblehead, and Scituate.[10] Castle Hill in Ipswich, Massachusetts was used for the exterior of the Lenox Mansion, while the lobby of the Wang Center in Boston stood in for the main hall. Other interiors were filmed at the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, though the swimming pool and Daryl's library were sets built on the Warner Bros. backlot.[11]" ]

Lead paint
Lead paint - wikipedia Lead paint Jump to : navigation , search Dutch Boy Paint logo ( front ) Dutch Boy Paint logo ( rear ) Lead paint or lead - based paint is paint containing lead . As pigment , lead ( II ) chromate ( Pb Cr O , `` chrome yellow '' ) , Lead ( II , IV ) oxide , ( Pb O , `` red lead '' ) , and lead ( II ) carbonate ( Pb C O , `` white lead '' ) are the most common forms . Lead is added to paint to accelerate drying , increase durability , maintain a fresh appearance , and resist moisture that causes corrosion . It is one of the main health and environmental hazards associated with paint . In some countries , lead continues to be added to paint intended for domestic use , whereas countries such as the U.S. and the UK have regulations prohibiting this , although lead paint may still be found in older properties painted prior to the introduction of such regulations . Although lead has been banned from household paints in the United States since 1978 , paint used in road markings may still contain it . Alternatives such as water - based , lead - free traffic paint are readily available , and many states and federal agencies have changed their purchasing contracts to buy these instead . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Toxicity 3 Regulation 4 Lead paint in art 4.1 Oil paints 4.2 Water - based paints 5 Substitutes 5.1 Titanium 5.2 Zinc 6 See also 7 References 8 Bibliography 9 External links History ( edit ) Lead white was being produced during the 4th century BC ; the process is described by Pliny the Elder , Vitruvius and the ancient Greek author Theophrastus . The traditional method making the pigment was called the stack process . Hundreds or thousands of earthenware pots containing vinegar and lead were embedded in a layer of either tan bark or cow feces . The pots were designed so that the vinegar and lead were in separate compartments , but the lead was in contact with the vapor of the vinegar . The lead was usually coiled into a spiral , and placed on a ledge inside the pot . The pot was loosely covered with a grid of lead , which allowed the carbon dioxide formed by the fermentation of the tan bark or the dung to circulate in the pot . Each layer of pots was covered by a new layer of tan , then another layer of pots . the heat created by the fermentation , acetic acid vapor and carbon dioxide within the stack did their work , and within a month the lead coils were covered with a crust of white lead . This crust was separated from the lead , washed and ground for pigment . This was an extremely dangerous process for the workmen . Medieval texts warned of the danger of `` apoplexy , epilepsy , and paralysis '' from working with lead white . Despite the risks , the pigment was very popular with artists because of its density and opacity ; a small amount could cover a large surface . It was widely used by artists until the 19th century , when it was replaced by zinc white and titanium white . The dangers of lead paint were considered well - established by the beginning of the 20th century . In the July 1904 edition of its monthly publication , Sherwin - Williams reported the dangers of paint containing lead , noting that a French expert had deemed lead paint `` poisonous in a large degree , both for the workmen and for the inhabitants of a house painted with lead colors '' . As early as 1886 , German health laws prohibited women and children from working in factories processing lead paint and lead sugar . Toxicity ( edit ) Further information : Lead poisoning Lead paint can crack and form flakes , which can contaminate the surrounding environment . Lead paint is hazardous . It can cause nervous system damage , stunted growth , kidney damage , and delayed development . It is dangerous to children because it tastes sweet , therefore encouraging children to put lead chips and toys with lead dust in their mouths . Lead paint is dangerous to adults and can cause reproductive problems in men or women . Decreases in sperm production in men have been noted . Lead is considered a possible and likely carcinogen . High levels may result in death . Regulation ( edit ) The examples and perspective in this section deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject . You may improve this article , discuss the issue on the talk page , or create a new article , as appropriate . ( May 2012 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The European Union has passed a directive controlling lead paint use . In Canada , regulations were first enacted under the Hazardous Products Act in 1976 that limited lead content of paints and other liquid coatings on furniture , household products , children 's products , and exterior and interior surfaces of any building frequented by children to 0.5 % by weight . New regulations on surface coating materials , which came into force in 2005 , further limit lead to its background level for both interior and exterior paints sold to consumers . Canadian paint manufacturers have been conforming to this background level in their interior and exterior consumer paints since 1991 . Nevertheless , a Canadian company , Dominion Colour Corporation , is `` the largest manufacturer of lead - based paint pigments in the world '' and has faced public criticism for obtaining permission from the European Chemicals Agency to continue to export lead chromate paints from its Dutch subsidiary to countries where its uses are not tightly regulated . The United States ' Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC ) banned lead paint in 1977 in residential properties and public buildings ( 16 CFR 1303 ) , along with toys and furniture containing lead paint . The cited reason was `` to reduce the risk of lead poisoning in children who may ingest paint chips or peelings '' . For manufacturers , the CPSC instituted the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 , which changed the cap on lead content in paint from 0.06 % to 0.009 % starting August 14 , 2009 . In April 2010 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency required that all renovators working in homes built before 1978 and disturbing more than six square feet of lead paint inside the home or 20 square feet outside the home be certified . EPA 's Lead Renovation , Repair and Painting Rule ( RRP Rule ) lowers the risk of lead contamination from home renovation activities . It requires that firms performing renovation , repair , and painting projects that disturb lead - based paint in homes , child care facilities and pre-schools ( any child occupied facility ) built before 1978 be certified by EPA and use certified renovators who are trained by EPA - approved training providers to follow lead - safe work practices . As of 2018 , there are an estimated 37 million homes and apartments with lead paint in the United States . Philippines banned lead pain in 2013 but in 2017 15 % of the paint still was not certified . Lead paint is not prohibited in India . A 2015 study found that over 31 % of household paints in India had lead concentration above 10,000 parts per million ( ppm ) , which far exceeds the BIS standard of 90 ppm for lead in paint . Lead paint in Art ( edit ) Oil paints ( edit ) In art , white lead paint is known as `` flake white '' or `` Cremnitz white '' . It is valued for the ease of handling and resilience the lead confers to oil paints . Lead white paint dries relatively quickly to form a strong , flexible paint film . Lead - based white is one of the oldest manufactured pigments . It was the only white pigment available to artists in appreciable quantities until the twentieth century , when zinc - white and titanium - white became available . Industrially produced lead white , the typical pigment from the 19th century until its ban , was thought to be inferior to traditionally fabricated forms , which had larger `` flake '' particles that conferred ease of handling . Titanium and zinc whites are far less toxic than lead white and have largely supplanted it in most fine arts applications . Safety regulations have also made lead white more expensive and difficult to obtain in some regions , such as the EU . However , lead white oil paints are still produced and in use by artists who prefer their unique handling , mixing , and structural qualities . Flake white has various drawbacks , including a tendency to become transparent over time . It also blackens in the presence of certain atmospheric pollutants , although this can be reversed . Water - based paints ( edit ) Lead is not a traditional pigment in water mediums , as zinc is superior for works on paper , as is calcium hydroxide ( slaked lime ) for frescos . Lead - based paints , when used on paper , often cause the work to become discolored after long periods of time ; the paint 's lead carbonate reacts with hydrogen sulfide in the air and with acids , which often come from fingerprints . Substitutes ( edit ) Titanium ( edit ) Paint manufacturers have replaced white lead with a less toxic substitute , titanium white ( based on the pigment titanium dioxide ) , which was first used in paints in the 19th century . Titanium dioxide is considered safe enough to use as a food coloring and in toothpaste . It is also a common ingredient in sunscreen . When used in paints today , it is often coated with silicon or aluminum oxides for durability . Titanium white has far greater opacity and tinting strength than lead white , and it can easily overpower most other pigments if not mixed carefully . Titanium white has been criticized for leading to `` chalkiness '' in mixtures , and for allegedly decreasing the permanence of organic pigments mixed with it due to its high refractive index . Zinc ( edit ) Zinc white is less opaque and weaker in tinting strength than either titanium white or lead white . It is commonly used to lighten mixtures subtly while maintaining transparency . Although zinc white is the standard white in watercolors , its structural soundness in oils has been debated . Zinc white dries slowly and creates a relatively inflexible paint film . Critics of the pigment argue that its use leads to excessive cracking and delamination , even when used sparingly .

History of television - wikipedia History of television Jump to : navigation , search The invention of the television was the work of many individuals in the late 19th century and early 20th century . Individuals and corporations competed in various parts of the world to deliver a device that superseded previous technology . Many were compelled to capitalize on the invention and make profit , while some wanted to change the world through visual and audio communication technology .

The Scottish inventor Alexander Bain introduced the facsimile machine between 1843 and 1846 . The English physicist Frederick Bakewell demonstrated a working laboratory version in 1851 . The first practical facsimile system , working on telegraph lines , was developed and put into service by the Italian priest Giovanni Caselli from 1856 onward . Willoughby Smith , an English electrical engineer , discovered the photoconductivity of the element selenium in 1873 . The Nipkow disk . This schematic shows the circular paths traced by the holes , which may also be square for greater precision . The area of the disk outlined in black shows the region scanned . As a 23 - year - old German university student , Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow proposed and patented the Nipkow disk in 1884 . This was a spinning disk with a spiral pattern of holes in it , so each hole scanned a line of the image . Although he never built a working model of the system , variations of Nipkow 's spinning - disk `` image rasterizer '' became exceedingly common . Constantin Perskyi had coined the word television in a paper read to the International Electricity Congress at the International World Fair in Paris on August 24 , 1900 . Perskyi 's paper reviewed the existing electromechanical technologies , mentioning the work of Nipkow and others . However , it was not until 1907 that developments in amplification tube technology , by Lee de Forest and Arthur Korn among others , made the design practical . The first demonstration of the instantaneous transmission of images was by Georges Rignoux and A. Fournier in Paris in 1909 . A matrix of 64 selenium cells , individually wired to a mechanical commutator , served as an electronic retina . In the receiver , a type of Kerr cell modulated the light and a series of variously angled mirrors attached to the edge of a rotating disc scanned the modulated beam onto the display screen . A separate circuit regulated synchronization . The 8x8 pixel resolution in this proof - of - concept demonstration was just sufficient to clearly transmit individual letters of the alphabet . An updated image was transmitted `` several times '' each second . In 1911 , Boris Rosing and his student Vladimir Zworykin created a system that used a mechanical mirror - drum scanner to transmit , in Zworykin 's words , `` very crude images '' over wires to the `` Braun tube '' ( cathode ray tube or `` CRT '' ) in the receiver . Moving images were not possible because , in the scanner , `` the sensitivity was not enough and the selenium cell was very laggy '' . Baird in 1925 with his televisor equipment and dummies `` James '' and `` Stooky Bill '' ( right ) . By the 1920s , when amplification made television practical , Scottish inventor John Logie Baird employed the Nipkow disk in his prototype video systems . He created his prototype in a little village called Santa Cruz on the island of Trinidad where he was recovering from an illness . He had also started work on the first color television . On March 25 , 1925 , Baird gave the first public demonstration of televised silhouette images in motion , at Selfridge 's Department Store in London . Since human faces had inadequate contrast to show up on his primitive system , he televised a talking , moving ventriloquist 's dummy named `` Stooky Bill '' , whose painted face had higher contrast . By January 26 , 1926 he demonstrated the transmission of an image of a face in motion by radio . This is widely regarded as the first television demonstration in history . The subject was Baird 's business partner Oliver Hutchinson . Baird 's system used the Nipkow disk for both scanning the image and displaying it . A bright light shining through a spinning Nipkow disk set with lenses projected a bright spot of light that swept across the subject . A selenium photoelectric tube detected the light reflected from the subject and converted it into a proportional electrical signal . This was transmitted by AM radio waves to a receiver unit , where the video signal was applied to a neon light behind a second Nipkow disk rotating synchronized with the first . The brightness of the neon lamp was varied in proportion to the brightness of each spot on the image . As each hole in the disk passed by , one scan line of the image was reproduced . Baird 's disk had 30 holes , producing an image with only 30 scan lines , just enough to recognize a human face . In 1927 , Baird transmitted a signal over 438 miles ( 705 km ) of telephone line between London and Glasgow . In 1928 , Baird 's company ( Baird Television Development Company / Cinema Television ) broadcast the first transatlantic television signal , between London and New York , and the first shore - to - ship transmission . In 1929 , he became involved in the first experimental mechanical television service in Germany . In November of the same year , Baird and Bernard Natan of Pathé established France 's first television company , Télévision - Baird - Natan . In 1931 , he made the first outdoor remote broadcast , of The Derby . In 1932 , he demonstrated ultra-short wave television . Baird 's mechanical system reached a peak of 240 lines of resolution on BBC television broadcasts in 1936 , though the mechanical system did not scan the televised scene directly . Instead , a 17.5 mm film was shot , rapidly developed and then scanned while the film was still wet . An American inventor , Charles Francis Jenkins , also pioneered the television . He published an article on `` Motion Pictures by Wireless '' in 1913 , but it was not until December 1923 that he transmitted moving silhouette images for witnesses . On June 13 , 1925 , Jenkins publicly demonstrated the synchronized transmission of silhouette pictures . In 1925 , Jenkins used a Nipkow disk and transmitted the silhouette image of a toy windmill in motion , over a distance of five miles ( from a naval radio station in Maryland to his laboratory in Washington , D.C. ) , using a lensed disk scanner with a 48 - line resolution . He was granted U.S. patent 1,544,156 ( Transmitting Pictures over Wireless ) on June 30 , 1925 ( filed March 13 , 1922 ) . On December 25 , 1925 , Kenjiro Takayanagi demonstrated a television system with a 40 - line resolution that employed a Nipkow disk scanner and CRT display at Hamamatsu Industrial High School in Japan . This prototype is still on display at the Takayanagi Memorial Museum at Shizuoka University , Hamamatsu Campus . By 1927 , Takayanagi improved the resolution to 100 lines , which was unrivaled until 1931 . By 1928 , he was the first to transmit human faces in halftones . His work had an influence on the later work of Vladimir K. Zworykin . By 1935 , Takayanagi had invented the first all - electronic television . His research toward creating a production model was halted by the US after Japan lost World War II . Herbert E. Ives and Frank Gray of Bell Telephone Laboratories gave a dramatic demonstration of mechanical television on April 7 , 1927 . The reflected - light television system included both small and large viewing screens . The small receiver had a two - inch - wide by 2.5 - inch - high screen . The large receiver had a screen 24 inches wide by 30 inches high . Both sets were capable of reproducing reasonably accurate , monochromatic moving images . Along with the pictures , the sets also received synchronized sound . The system transmitted images over two paths : first , a copper wire link from Washington to New York City , then a radio link from Whippany , New Jersey . Comparing the two transmission methods , viewers noted no difference in quality . Subjects of the telecast included Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover . A flying - spot scanner beam illuminated these subjects . The scanner that produced the beam had a 50 - aperture disk . The disc revolved at a rate of 18 frames per second , capturing one frame about every 56 milliseconds . ( Today 's systems typically transmit 30 or 60 frames per second , or one frame every 33.3 or 16.7 milliseconds respectively . ) Television historian Albert Abramson underscored the significance of the Bell Labs demonstration : `` It was in fact the best demonstration of a mechanical television system ever made to this time . It would be several years before any other system could even begin to compare with it in picture quality . '' In 1928 , WRGB ( then W2XB ) was started as the world 's first television station . It broadcast from the General Electric facility in Schenectady , NY . It was popularly known as `` WGY Television '' . Meanwhile , in the Soviet Union , Léon Theremin had been developing a mirror drum - based television , starting with 16 - line resolution in 1925 , then 32 lines and eventually 64 using interlacing in 1926 . As part of his thesis on May 7 , 1926 , Theremin electrically transmitted and then projected near - simultaneous moving images on a five - foot square screen . By 1927 he achieved an image of 100 lines , a resolution that was not surpassed until 1931 by RCA , with 120 lines . Because only a limited number of holes could be made in the disks , and disks beyond a certain diameter became impractical , image resolution in mechanical television broadcasts was relatively low , ranging from about 30 lines up to about 120 . Nevertheless , the image quality of 30 - line transmissions steadily improved with technical advances , and by 1933 the UK broadcasts using the Baird system were remarkably clear . A few systems ranging into the 200 - line region also went on the air . Two of these were the 180 - line system that Compagnie des Compteurs ( CDC ) installed in Paris in 1935 , and the 180 - line system that Peck Television Corp. started in 1935 at station VE9AK in Montreal . Anton Codelli ( 22nd . March , † 28 . April 1954 ) , a Slovenian nobleman , was a passionate inventor . Among other things , he had devised a miniature refrigerator for cars and a new rotary engine design . Intrigued by television , he decided to apply his technical skills to the new medium . At the time , the biggest challenge in television technology was to transmit images with sufficient resolution to reproduce recognizable figures . As recounted by media historian Melita Zajc , most inventors were determined to increase the number of lines used by their systems -- some were approaching what was then the magic number of 100 lines . But Baron Codelli had a different idea . In 1929 , he developed a television device with a single line -- but one that formed a continuous spiral on the screen . Codelli based his ingenious design on his understanding of the human eye . He knew that objects seen in peripheral vision do n't need to be as sharp as those in the center . The baron 's mechanical television system , whose image was sharpest in the middle , worked well , and he was soon able to transmit images of his wife , Ilona von Drasche - Lazar , over the air . Despite the backing of the German electronics giant Telefunken , however , Codelli 's television system never became a commercial reality . Electronic television ultimately emerged as the dominant system , and Codelli moved on to other projects . His invention was largely forgotten . The advancement of all - electronic television ( including image dissectors and other camera tubes and cathode ray tubes for the reproducer ) marked the beginning of the end for mechanical systems as the dominant form of television . Mechanical TV usually only produced small images . It was the main type of TV until the 1930s . The last mechanical television broadcasts ended in 1939 at stations run by a handful of public universities in the United States . Electronic television ( edit ) Main article : Video camera tube In 1897 , J.J. Thomson , an English physicist , in his three famous experiments was able to deflect cathode rays , a fundamental function of the modern Cathode Ray Tube ( CRT ) . The earliest version of the CRT was invented by the German physicist Karl Ferdinand Braun in 1897 and is also known as the Braun tube . It was a cold - cathode diode , a modification of the Crookes tube with a phosphor - coated screen . A cathode ray tube was successfully demonstrated as a displaying device by the German Professor Max Dieckmann in 1906 , his experimental results were published by the journal Scientific American in 1909 . In 1908 Alan Archibald Campbell - Swinton , fellow of the Royal Society ( UK ) , published a letter in the scientific journal Nature in which he described how `` distant electric vision '' could be achieved by using a cathode ray tube ( or `` Braun '' tube ) as both a transmitting and receiving device . He expanded on his vision in a speech given in London in 1911 and reported in The Times and the Journal of the Röntgen Society . In a letter to Nature published in October 1926 , Campbell - Swinton also announced the results of some `` not very successful experiments '' he had conducted with G.M. Minchin and J.C.M. Stanton . They had attempted to generate an electrical signal by projecting an image onto a selenium - coated metal plate that was simultaneously scanned by a cathode ray beam . These experiments were conducted before March 1914 , when Minchin died . They were later repeated in 1937 by two different teams , H. Miller and J.W. Strange from EMI , and H. Iams and A. Rose from RCA . Both teams succeeded in transmitting `` very faint '' images with the original Campbell - Swinton 's selenium - coated plate . Although others had experimented with using a cathode ray tube as a receiver , the concept of using one as a transmitter was novel . The first cathode ray tube to use a hot cathode was developed by John B. Johnson ( who gave his name to the term Johnson noise ) and Harry Weiner Weinhart of Western Electric , and became a commercial product in 1922 . In 1926 , Hungarian engineer Kálmán Tihanyi designed a television system utilizing fully electronic scanning and display elements and employing the principle of `` charge storage '' within the scanning ( or `` camera '' ) tube . The problem of low sensitivity to light resulting in low electrical output from transmitting or `` camera '' tubes would be solved with the introduction of charge - storage technology by Kálmán Tihanyi beginning in 1924 . His solution was a camera tube that accumulated and stored electrical charges ( `` photoelectrons '' ) within the tube throughout each scanning cycle . The device was first described in a patent application he filed in Hungary in March 1926 for a television system he dubbed `` Radioskop '' . After further refinements included in a 1928 patent application , Tihanyi 's patent was declared void in Great Britain in 1930 , and so he applied for patents in the United States . Although his breakthrough would be incorporated into the design of RCA 's `` iconoscope '' in 1931 , the U.S. patent for Tihanyi 's transmitting tube would not be granted until May 1939 . The patent for his receiving tube had been granted the previous October . Both patents had been purchased by RCA prior to their approval . Charge storage remains a basic principle in the design of imaging devices for television to the present day . On December 25 , 1926 , Kenjiro Takayanagi demonstrated a TV system with a 40 - line resolution that employed a CRT display at Hamamatsu Industrial High School in Japan . This was the first working example of a fully electronic television receiver . Takayanagi did not apply for a patent . On September 7 , 1927 , Philo Farnsworth 's image dissector camera tube transmitted its first image , a simple straight line , at his laboratory at 202 Green Street in San Francisco . By September 3 , 1928 , Farnsworth had developed the system sufficiently to hold a demonstration for the press . This is widely regarded as the first electronic television demonstration . In 1929 , the system was further improved by elimination of a motor generator , so that his television system now had no mechanical parts . That year , Farnsworth transmitted the first live human images with his system , including a three and a half - inch image of his wife Elma ( `` Pem '' ) with her eyes closed ( possibly due to the bright lighting required ) . Vladimir Zworykin demonstrates electronic television ( 1929 ) Meanwhile , Vladimir Zworykin was also experimenting with the cathode ray tube to create and show images . While working for Westinghouse Electric in 1923 , he began to develop an electronic camera tube . But in a 1925 demonstration , the image was dim , had low contrast and poor definition , and was stationary . Zworykin 's imaging tube never got beyond the laboratory stage . But RCA , which acquired the Westinghouse patent , asserted that the patent for Farnsworth 's 1927 image dissector was written so broadly that it would exclude any other electronic imaging device . Thus RCA , on the basis of Zworykin 's 1923 patent application , filed a patent interference suit against Farnsworth . The U.S. Patent Office examiner disagreed in a 1935 decision , finding priority of invention for Farnsworth against Zworykin . Farnsworth claimed that Zworykin 's 1923 system would be unable to produce an electrical image of the type to challenge his patent . Zworykin received a patent in 1928 for a color transmission version of his 1923 patent application , he also divided his original application in 1931 . Zworykin was unable or unwilling to introduce evidence of a working model of his tube that was based on his 1923 patent application . In September 1939 , after losing an appeal in the courts and determined to go forward with the commercial manufacturing of television equipment , RCA agreed to pay Farnsworth US $1 million over a ten - year period , in addition to license payments , to use Farnsworth 's patents . In 1933 RCA introduced an improved camera tube that relied on Tihanyi 's charge storage principle . Dubbed the Iconoscope by Zworykin , the new tube had a light sensitivity of about 75,000 lux , and thus was claimed to be much more sensitive than Farnsworth 's image dissector . However , Farnsworth had overcome his power problems with his Image Dissector through the invention of a completely unique `` multipactor '' device that he began work on in 1930 , and demonstrated in 1931 . This small tube could amplify a signal reportedly to the 60th power or better and showed great promise in all fields of electronics . A problem with the multipactor , unfortunately , was that it wore out at an unsatisfactory rate . At the Berlin Radio Show in August 1931 , Manfred von Ardenne gave a public demonstration of a television system using a CRT for both transmission and reception . However , Ardenne had not developed a camera tube , using the CRT instead as a flying - spot scanner to scan slides and film . Philo Farnsworth gave the world 's first public demonstration of an all - electronic television system , using a live camera , at the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia on August 25 , 1934 , and for ten days afterwards . In Britain the EMI engineering team led by Isaac Shoenberg applied in 1932 for a patent for a new device they dubbed `` the Emitron '' , which formed the heart of the cameras they designed for the BBC . On November 2 , 1936 , a 405 - line broadcasting service employing the Emitron began at studios in Alexandra Palace , and transmitted from a specially built mast atop one of the Victorian building 's towers . It alternated for a short time with Baird 's mechanical system in adjoining studios , but was more reliable and visibly superior . This was the world 's first regular high - definition television service . The original American iconoscope was noisy , had a high ratio of interference to signal , and ultimately gave disappointing results , especially when compared to the high definition mechanical scanning systems then becoming available . The EMI team under the supervision of Isaac Shoenberg analyzed how the iconoscope ( or Emitron ) produces an electronic signal and concluded that its real efficiency was only about 5 % of the theoretical maximum . They solved this problem by developing and patenting in 1934 two new camera tubes dubbed super-Emitron and CPS Emitron . The super-Emitron was between ten and fifteen times more sensitive than the original Emitron and iconoscope tubes and , in some cases , this ratio was considerably greater . It was used for an outside broadcasting by the BBC , for the first time , on Armistice Day 1937 , when the general public could watch in a television set how the King lay a wreath at the Cenotaph . This was the first time that anyone could broadcast a live street scene from cameras installed on the roof of neighbor buildings , because neither Farnsworth nor RCA could do the same before the 1939 New York World 's Fair . Ad for the beginning of experimental television broadcasting in New York City by RCA in 1939 On the other hand , in 1934 , Zworykin shared some patent rights with the German licensee company Telefunken . The `` image iconoscope '' ( `` Superikonoskop '' in Germany ) was produced as a result of the collaboration . This tube is essentially identical to the super-Emitron . The production and commercialization of the super-Emitron and image iconoscope in Europe were not affected by the patent war between Zworykin and Farnsworth , because Dieckmann and Hell had priority in Germany for the invention of the image dissector , having submitted a patent application for their Lichtelektrische Bildzerlegerröhre für Fernseher ( Photoelectric Image Dissector Tube for Television ) in Germany in 1925 , two years before Farnsworth did the same in the United States . The image iconoscope ( Superikonoskop ) became the industrial standard for public broadcasting in Europe from 1936 until 1960 , when it was replaced by the vidicon and plumbicon tubes . Indeed , it was the representative of the European tradition in electronic tubes competing against the American tradition represented by the image orthicon . The German company Heimann produced the Superikonoskop for the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games , later Heimann also produced and commercialized it from 1940 to 1955 , finally the Dutch company Philips produced and commercialized the image iconoscope and multicon from 1952 to 1958 . American television broadcasting at the time consisted of a variety of markets in a wide range of sizes , each competing for programming and dominance with separate technology , until deals were made and standards agreed upon in 1941 . RCA , for example , used only Iconoscopes in the New York area , but Farnsworth Image Dissectors in Philadelphia and San Francisco . In September 1939 , RCA agreed to pay the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation royalties over the next ten years for access to Farnsworth 's patents . With this historic agreement in place , RCA integrated much of what was best about the Farnsworth Technology into their systems . In 1941 , the United States implemented 525 - line television . The world 's first 625 - line television standard was designed in the Soviet Union in 1944 , and became a national standard in 1946 . The first broadcast in 625 - line standard occurred in 1948 in Moscow . The concept of 625 lines per frame was subsequently implemented in the European CCIR standard . In 1936 , Kálmán Tihanyi described the principle of plasma display , the first flat panel display system . In 1978 , James P Mitchell described , prototyped and demonstrated what was perhaps the earliest monochromatic flat panel LED television display LED Display targeted at replacing the CRT . Color television ( edit ) Main article : Color television The basic idea of using three monochrome images to produce a color image had been experimented with almost as soon as black - and - white televisions had first been built . Among the earliest published proposals for television was one by Maurice Le Blanc in 1880 for a color system , including the first mentions in television literature of line and frame scanning , although he gave no practical details . Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik patented a color television system in 1897 , using a selenium photoelectric cell at the transmitter and an electromagnet controlling an oscillating mirror and a moving prism at the receiver . But his system contained no means of analyzing the spectrum of colors at the transmitting end , and could not have worked as he described it . Another inventor , Hovannes Adamian , also experimented with color television as early as 1907 . The first color television project is claimed by him , and was patented in Germany on March 31 , 1908 , patent No 197183 , then in Britain , on April 1 , 1908 , patent No 7219 , in France ( patent No 390326 ) and in Russia in 1910 ( patent No 17912 ) . Scottish inventor John Logie Baird demonstrated the world 's first color transmission on July 3 , 1928 , using scanning discs at the transmitting and receiving ends with three spirals of apertures , each spiral with filters of a different primary color ; and three light sources at the receiving end , with a commutator to alternate their illumination . Baird also made the world 's first color broadcast on February 4 , 1938 , sending a mechanically scanned 120 - line image from Baird 's Crystal Palace studios to a projection screen at London 's Dominion Theatre . Mechanically scanned color television was also demonstrated by Bell Laboratories in June 1929 using three complete systems of photoelectric cells , amplifiers , glow - tubes and color filters , with a series of mirrors to superimpose the red , green and blue images into one full color image . The first practical hybrid system was again pioneered by John Logie Baird . In 1940 he publicly demonstrated a color television combining a traditional black - and - white display with a rotating colored disc . This device was very `` deep '' , but was later improved with a mirror folding the light path into an entirely practical device resembling a large conventional console . However , Baird was not happy with the design , and as early as 1944 had commented to a British government committee that a fully electronic device would be better . Mexican inventor Guillermo González Camarena also played an important role in early TV . His experiments with TV ( known as telectroescopía at first ) began in 1931 and led to a patent for the `` trichromatic field sequential system '' color television in 1940 . In 1939 , Hungarian engineer Peter Carl Goldmark introduced an electro - mechanical system while at CBS , which contained an Iconoscope sensor . The CBS field - sequential color system was partly mechanical , with a disc made of red , blue , and green filters spinning inside the television camera at 1,200 rpm , and a similar disc spinning in synchronization in front of the cathode ray tube inside the receiver set . The system was first demonstrated to the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) on August 29 , 1940 , and shown to the press on September 4 . CBS began experimental color field tests using film as early as August 28 , 1940 , and live cameras by November 12 . NBC ( owned by RCA ) made its first field test of color television on February 20 , 1941 . CBS began daily color field tests on June 1 , 1941 . These color systems were not compatible with existing black - and - white television sets , and as no color television sets were available to the public at this time , viewing of the color field tests was restricted to RCA and CBS engineers and the invited press . The War Production Board halted the manufacture of television and radio equipment for civilian use from April 22 , 1942 , to August 20 , 1945 , limiting any opportunity to introduce color television to the general public . As early as 1940 , Baird had started work on a fully electronic system he called the `` Telechrome '' . Early Telechrome devices used two electron guns aimed at either side of a phosphor plate . The phosphor was patterned so the electrons from the guns only fell on one side of the patterning or the other . Using cyan and magenta phosphors , a reasonable limited - color image could be obtained . He also demonstrated the same system using monochrome signals to produce a 3D image ( called `` stereoscopic '' at the time ) . A demonstration on August 16 , 1944 was the first example of a practical color television system . Work on the Telechrome continued and plans were made to introduce a three - gun version for full color . However , Baird 's untimely death in 1946 ended development of the Telechrome system . Similar concepts were common through the 1940s and 1950s , differing primarily in the way they re-combined the colors generated by the three guns . The Geer tube was similar to Baird 's concept , but used small pyramids with the phosphors deposited on their outside faces , instead of Baird 's 3D patterning on a flat surface . The Penetron used three layers of phosphor on top of each other and increased the power of the beam to reach the upper layers when drawing those colors . The Chromatron used a set of focusing wires to select the colored phosphors arranged in vertical stripes on the tube . One of the great technical challenges of introducing color broadcast television was the desire to conserve bandwidth , potentially three times that of the existing black - and - white standards , and not use an excessive amount of radio spectrum . In the United States , after considerable research , the National Television Systems Committee approved an all - electronic Compatible color system developed by RCA , which encoded the color information separately from the brightness information and greatly reduced the resolution of the color information in order to conserve bandwidth . The brightness image remained compatible with existing black - and - white television sets at slightly reduced resolution , while color televisions could decode the extra information in the signal and produce a limited - resolution color display . The higher resolution black - and - white and lower resolution color images combine in the brain to produce a seemingly high - resolution color image . The NTSC standard represented a major technical achievement . Color bars used in a test pattern , sometimes used when no program material is available . Although all - electronic color was introduced in the U.S. in 1953 , high prices and the scarcity of color programming greatly slowed its acceptance in the marketplace . The first national color broadcast ( the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade ) occurred on January 1 , 1954 , but during the following ten years most network broadcasts , and nearly all local programming , continued to be in black - and - white . It was not until the mid-1960s that color sets started selling in large numbers , due in part to the color transition of 1965 in which it was announced that over half of all network prime - time programming would be broadcast in color that fall . The first all - color prime - time season came just one year later . In 1972 , the last holdout among daytime network programs converted to color , resulting in the first completely all - color network season . Early color sets were either floor - standing console models or tabletop versions nearly as bulky and heavy , so in practice they remained firmly anchored in one place . The introduction of GE 's relatively compact and lightweight Porta - Color set in the spring of 1966 made watching color television a more flexible and convenient proposition . In 1972 , sales of color sets finally surpassed sales of black - and - white sets . Color broadcasting in Europe was also not standardized on the PAL format until the 1960s . By the mid-1970s , the only stations broadcasting in black - and - white were a few high - numbered UHF stations in small markets , and a handful of low - power repeater stations in even smaller markets such as vacation spots . By 1979 , even the last of these had converted to color , and by the early 1980s black - and - white sets had been pushed into niche markets , notably low - power uses , small portable sets , or use as video monitor screens in lower - cost consumer equipment . By the late 1980s even these areas switched to color sets . Digital television ( edit ) Main article : Digital television See also : Digital television transition Digital television ( DTV ) is the transmission of audio and video by digitally processed and multiplexed signal , in contrast to the totally analog and channel separated signals used by analog television . Digital TV can support more than one program in the same channel bandwidth . It is an innovative service that represents the first significant evolution in television technology since color television in the 1950s . Digital TV 's roots have been tied very closely to the availability of inexpensive , high performance computers . It was n't until the 1990s that digital TV became a real possibility . In the mid-1980s Japanese consumer electronics firms forged ahead with the development of HDTV technology , and the MUSE analog format proposed by NHK , a Japanese company , was seen as a pacesetter that threatened to eclipse U.S. electronics companies . Until June 1990 , the Japanese MUSE standard -- based on an analog system -- was the front - runner among the more than 23 different technical concepts under consideration . Then , an American company , General Instrument , demonstrated the feasibility of a digital television signal . This breakthrough was of such significance that the FCC was persuaded to delay its decision on an ATV standard until a digitally based standard could be developed . In March 1990 , when it became clear that a digital standard was feasible , the FCC made a number of critical decisions . First , the Commission declared that the new ATV standard must be more than an enhanced analog signal , but be able to provide a genuine HDTV signal with at least twice the resolution of existing television images. ( 7 ) Then , to ensure that viewers who did not wish to buy a new digital television set could continue to receive conventional television broadcasts , it dictated that the new ATV standard must be capable of being `` simulcast '' on different channels. ( 8 ) The new ATV standard also allowed the new DTV signal to be based on entirely new design principles . Although incompatible with the existing NTSC standard , the new DTV standard would be able to incorporate many improvements . The final standard adopted by the FCC did not require a single standard for scanning formats , aspect ratios , or lines of resolution . This outcome resulted from a dispute between the consumer electronics industry ( joined by some broadcasters ) and the computer industry ( joined by the film industry and some public interest groups ) over which of the two scanning processes -- interlaced or progressive -- is superior . Interlaced scanning , which is used in televisions worldwide , scans even - numbered lines first , then odd - numbered ones . Progressive scanning , which is the format used in computers , scans lines in sequences , from top to bottom . The computer industry argued that progressive scanning is superior because it does not `` flicker '' in the manner of interlaced scanning . It also argued that progressive scanning enables easier connections with the Internet , and is more cheaply converted to interlaced formats than vice versa . The film industry also supported progressive scanning because it offers a more efficient means of converting filmed programming into digital formats . For their part , the consumer electronics industry and broadcasters argued that interlaced scanning was the only technology that could transmit the highest quality pictures then feasible , that is , 1080 lines per picture and 1920 pixels per line . William F. Schreiber , who was a director of the Advanced Television Research Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1983 until his retirement in 1990 , thought that the continued advocacy of interlaced equipment originated from consumer electronics companies that were trying to get back the substantial investments they made in the interlaced technology . Digital television transition started in the late 2000s . All the governments across the world set the deadline for analog shutdown by the 2010s . Initially the adoption rate was low . But soon , more and more households were converting to digital televisions . The transition is expected to be completed worldwide by mid to late 2010s . Smart television ( edit ) Main article : Smart television Not to be confused with Internet television , Internet Protocol television , or Web television . This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2014 ) Advent of digital television allowed innovations like smart TVs . A smart television , sometimes referred to as connected TV or hybrid television , is a television set with integrated Internet and Web 2.0 features , and is an example of technological convergence between computers and television sets and set - top boxes . Besides the traditional functions of television sets and set - top boxes provided through traditional broadcasting media , these devices can also provide Internet TV , online interactive media , over-the - top content , as well as on - demand streaming media , and home networking access . These TVs come pre-loaded with an operating system . Smart TV should not to be confused with Internet TV , IPTV or with Web TV . Internet television refers to the receiving television content over internet instead of traditional systems ( terrestrial , cable and satellite ) ( although internet itself is received by these methods ) . Internet Protocol television ( IPTV ) is one of the emerging Internet television technology standards for use by television broadcasters . Web television ( WebTV ) is a term used for programs created by a wide variety of companies and individuals for broadcast on Internet TV . A first patent was filed in 1994 ( and extended the following year ) for an `` intelligent '' television system , linked with data processing systems , by means of a digital or analog network . Apart from being linked to data networks , one key point is its ability to automatically download necessary software routines , according to a user 's demand , and process their needs . Major TV manufacturers have announced production of smart TVs only , for middle - end and high - end TVs in 2015 . 3D television ( edit ) Main article : 3D television Stereoscopic 3D television was demonstrated for the first time on August 10 , 1928 , by John Logie Baird in his company 's premises at 133 Long Acre , London . Baird pioneered a variety of 3D television systems using electro - mechanical and cathode - ray tube techniques . The first 3D TV was produced in 1935 . The advent of digital television in the 2000s greatly improved 3D TVs . Although 3D TV sets are quite popular for watching 3D home media such as on Blu - ray discs , 3D programming has largely failed to make inroads among the public . Many 3D television channels that started in the early 2010s were shut down by the mid-2010s . Terrestrial television ( edit ) Main article : Terrestrial television See also : Timeline of the introduction of television in countries Overview ( edit ) Programming is broadcast by television stations , sometimes called `` channels '' , as stations are licensed by their governments to broadcast only over assigned channels in the television band . At first , terrestrial broadcasting was the only way television could be widely distributed , and because bandwidth was limited , i.e. , there were only a small number of channels available , government regulation was the norm . In the U.S. , the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) allowed stations to broadcast advertisements beginning in July 1941 , but required public service programming commitments as a requirement for a license . By contrast , the United Kingdom chose a different route , imposing a television license fee on owners of television reception equipment to fund the British Broadcasting Corporation ( BBC ) , which had public service as part of its Royal Charter . WRGB claims to be the world 's oldest television station , tracing its roots to an experimental station founded on January 13 , 1928 , broadcasting from the General Electric factory in Schenectady , NY , under the call letters W2XB . It was popularly known as `` WGY Television '' after its sister radio station . Later in 1928 , General Electric started a second facility , this one in New York City , which had the call letters W2XBS and which today is known as WNBC . The two stations were experimental in nature and had no regular programming , as receivers were operated by engineers within the company . The image of a Felix the Cat doll rotating on a turntable was broadcast for 2 hours every day for several years as new technology was being tested by the engineers . On November 2 , 1936 , the BBC began transmitting the world 's first public regular high - definition service from the Victorian Alexandra Palace in north London . It therefore claims to be the birthplace of TV broadcasting as we know it today . With the widespread adoption of cable across the United States in the 1970s and 80s , terrestrial television broadcasts have been in decline ; in 2013 it was estimated that about 7 % of US households used an antenna . A slight increase in use began around 2010 due to a switchover to digital terrestrial television broadcasts , which offer pristine image quality over very large areas , and offered an alternate to CATV for cord cutters . Canada ( edit ) The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( CBC ) adopted the American NTSC 525 - line B / W 60 field per second system as its broadcast standard . It began television broadcasting in Canada in September 1952 . The first broadcast was on September 6 , 1952 from its Montreal station CBFT . The premiere broadcast was bilingual , spoken in English and French . Two days later , on September 8 , 1952 , the Toronto station CBLT went on the air . This became the English - speaking flagship station for the country , while CBFT became the French - language flagship after a second English - language station was licensed to CBC in Montreal later in the decade . The CBC 's first privately owned affiliate television station , CKSO in Sudbury , Ontario , launched in October 1953 ( at the time , all private stations were expected to affiliate with the CBC , a condition that was relaxed in 1960 -- 61 when CTV , Canada 's second national English - language network , was formed ) . Czechoslovakia ( edit ) The first mass - produced Czechoslovak TV - set Tesla 4001A ( 1953 - 57 ) . In former Czechoslovakia ( now Slovakia and the Czech Republic ) the first experimental television sets were produced in 1948 . In the same year the first TV - transmission was performed . The first regular TV public transmission started on May 1 , 1953 . The state - owned TV - centers were in Prague , Bratislava , Brno and Ostrava . In 1961 more than a million citizens had a television set . In 1970 , Czechoslovak television had three channels : Czech , Slovak and a bilingual Federal Channel . In 1973 , color broadcasting started . France ( edit ) The first experiments in television broadcasting began in France in the 1930s , although the French did not immediately employ the new technology . In November 1929 , Bernard Natan established France 's first television company , Télévision - Baird - Natan . On April 14 , 1931 , there took place the first transmission with a thirty - line standard by René Barthélemy . On December 6 , 1931 , Henri de France created the Compagnie Générale de Télévision ( CGT ) . In December 1932 , Barthélemy carried out an experimental program in black and white ( definition : 60 lines ) one hour per week , `` Paris Télévision '' , which gradually became daily from early 1933 . The first official channel of French television appeared on February 13 , 1935 , the date of the official inauguration of television in France , which was broadcast in 60 lines from 8 : 15 to 8 : 30 pm . The program showed the actress Béatrice Bretty in the studio of Radio - PTT Vision at 103 rue de Grenelle in Paris . The broadcast had a range of 100 km ( 62 mi ) . On November 10 , George Mandel , Minister of Posts , inaugurated the first broadcast in 180 lines from the transmitter of the Eiffel Tower . On the 18th , Susy Wincker , the first announcer since the previous June , carried out a demonstration for the press from 5 : 30 to 7 : 30 pm . Broadcasts became regular from January 4 , 1937 from 11 : 00 to 11 : 30 am and 8 : 00 to 8 : 30 pm during the week , and from 5 : 30 to 7 : 30 pm on Sundays . In July 1938 , a decree defined for three years a standard of 455 lines VHF ( whereas three standards were used for the experiments : 441 lines for Gramont , 450 lines for the Compagnie des Compteurs and 455 for Thomson ) . In 1939 , there were about only 200 to 300 individual television sets , some of which were also available in a few public places . With the entry of France into World War II the same year , broadcasts ceased and the transmitter of the Eiffel Tower was sabotaged . On September 3 , 1940 , French television was seized by the German occupation forces . A technical agreement was signed by the Compagnie des Compteurs and Telefunken , and a financing agreement for the resuming of the service is signed by German Ministry of Post and Radiodiffusion Nationale ( Vichy 's radio ) . On May 7 , 1943 at 3 : 00 evening broadcasts . The first broadcast of Fernsehsender Paris ( Paris Télévision ) was transmitted from rue Cognac - Jay . These regular broadcasts ( 5 ​ ⁄ hours a day ) lasted until August 16 , 1944 . One thousand 441 - line sets , most of which were installed in soldiers ' hospitals , picked up the broadcasts . These Nazi - controlled television broadcasts from the Eiffel Tower in Paris were able to be received on the south coast of England by R.A.F. and BBC engineers , who photographed the station identification image direct from the screen . In 1944 , René Barthélemy developed an 819 - line television standard . During the years of occupation , Barthélemy reached 1015 and even 1042 lines . On October 1 , 1944 , television service resumed after the liberation of Paris . The broadcasts were transmitted from the Cognacq - Jay studios . In October 1945 , after repairs , the transmitter of the Eiffel Tower was back in service . On November 20 , 1948 , François Mitterrand decreed a broadcast standard of 819 lines ; broadcasting began at the end of 1949 in this definition . Besides France , this standard was later adopted by Algeria , Monaco , and Morocco . Belgium and Luxembourg used a modified version of this standard with bandwidth narrowed to 7 MHz . Germany ( edit ) Electromechanical broadcasts began in Germany in 1929 , but were without sound until 1934 . Network electronic service started on March 22 , 1935 , on 180 lines using telecine transmission of film , intermediate film system , or cameras using the Nipkow Disk . Transmissions using cameras based on the iconoscope began on January 15 , 1936 . The Berlin Summer Olympic Games were televised , using both all - electronic iconoscope - based cameras and intermediate film cameras , to Berlin and Hamburg in August 1936 . Twenty - eight public television rooms were opened for anybody who did not own a television set . The Germans had a 441 - line system on the air in February 1937 , and during World War II brought it to France , where they broadcast from the Eiffel Tower . After the end of World War II , the victorious Allies imposed a general ban on all radio and television broadcasting in Germany . Radio broadcasts for information purposes were soon permitted again , but television broadcasting was allowed to resume only in 1948 . In East Germany , the head of broadcasting in the Soviet occupation zone , Hans Mahler , predicted in 1948 that in the near future ' a new and important technical step forward in the field of broadcasting in Germany will begin its triumphant march : television . ' In 1950 , the plans for a nationwide television service got off the ground , and a Television Centre in Berlin was approved . Transmissions began on December 21 , 1952 using the 625 - line standard developed in the Soviet Union in 1944 , although at that time there were probably no more than 75 television receivers capable of receiving the programming . In West Germany , the British occupation forces as well as NWDR ( Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk ) , which had started work in the British zone straight after the war , agreed to the launch of a television station . Even before this , German television specialists had agreed on 625 lines as the future standard . This standard had narrower channel bandwidth ( 7 MHz ) compared to the Soviet specification ( 8 MHz ) , allowing three television channels to fit into the VHF I band . When color was introduced , West Germany chose a variant of the NTSC color system , modified by Walter Bruch and called PAL . East Germany accepted the French SECAM system , which was used in Eastern European countries . With the reunification of Germany , it was decided to switch to the PAL color system . The system was changed in December 1990 . Italy ( edit ) In Italy , the first experimental tests on television broadcasts were made in Turin since 1934 . The city already hosted the Center for Management of the EIAR ( lately renamed as RAI ) at the premises of the Theatre of Turin . Subsequently , the EAIR established offices in Rome and Milan . On July 22 , 1939 comes into operation in Rome the first television transmitter at the EIAR station , which performed a regular broadcast for about a year using a 441 - line system that was developed in Germany . In September of the same year , a second television transmitter was installed in Milan , making experimental broadcasts during major events in the city . The broadcasts were suddenly ended on May 31 , 1940 , by order of the government , allegedly because of interferences encountered in the first air navigation systems . Also , the imminent participation in the war is believed to have played a role in this decision . EIAR transmitting equipment was relocated to Germany by the German troops . Lately , it was returned to Italy . The first official television broadcast began on January 3 , 1954 by the RAI . Japan ( edit ) Television broadcasting in Japan started in August 28 , 1953 , making the country one of the first in the world with an experimental television service . The first television tests were conducted as early as 1926 using a combined mechanical Nipkow disk and electronic Braun tube system , later switching to an all - electronic system in the 1935 using a domestically developed iconoscope system . In spite of that , because of the beginning of World War II in the Pacific region , this first full - fledged TV broadcast experimentation lasted only a few months . Regular television broadcasts would eventually start in 1953 . In 1979 , NHK first developed a consumer high - definition television with a 5 : 3 display aspect ratio . The system , known as Hi - Vision or MUSE after its Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding for encoding the signal , required about twice the bandwidth of the existing NTSC system but provided about four times the resolution ( 1080i / 1125 lines ) . Satellite test broadcasts started in 1989 , with regular testing starting in 1991 and regular broadcasting of BS - 9ch commenced on November 25 , 1994 , which featured commercial and NHK television programming . Sony first demonstrated a wideband analog high - definition television system HDTV capable video camera , monitor and video tape recorder ( VTR ) in April 1981 at an international meeting of television engineers in Algiers . The HDVS range was launched in April 1984 , with the HDC - 100 camera , HDV - 100 video recorder and HDS - 100 video switcher all working in the 1125 - line component video format with interlaced video and a 5 : 3 aspect ratio . Mexico ( edit ) The first testing television station in Mexico signed on in 1935 . When KFMB - TV in San Diego signed on in 1949 , Baja California became the first state to receive a commercial television station over the air . Within a year , the Mexican government would adopt the U.S. NTSC 525 - line B / W 60 - field - per - second system as the country 's broadcast standard . In 1950 , the first commercial television station within Mexico , XHTV in Mexico City , signed on the air , followed by XEW - TV in 1951 and XHGC in 1952 . Those three were not only the first television stations in the country , but also the flagship stations of Telesistema Mexicano , which was formed in 1955 . That year , Emilio Azcárraga Vidaurreta , who had signed on XEW - TV , entered into a partnership with Rómulo O'Farrill who had signed on XHTV , and Guillermo González Camarena , who had signed on XHGC . The earliest 3D television broadcasts in the world were broadcast over XHGC in 1954 . Color television was introduced in 1962 , also over XHGC - TV . One of Telesistema Mexicano 's earliest broadcasts as a network , over XEW - TV , on June 25 , 1955 , was the first international North American broadcast in the medium 's history , and was jointly aired with NBC in the United States , where it aired as the premiere episode of Wide Wide World , and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation . Except for a brief period between 1969 -- 1973 , nearly every commercial television station in Mexico , with exceptions in the border cities , was expected to affiliate with a subnetwork of Telesistema Mexicano or its successor , Televisa ( formed by the 1973 merger of Telesistema Mexicano and Television Independiente de Mexico ) . This condition would not be relaxed for good until 1993 , when Imevision was privatized to become TV Azteca . Soviet Union ( ussr ) ( edit ) The Soviet Union began offering 30 - line electromechanical test broadcasts in Moscow on October 31 , 1931 , and a commercially manufactured television set in 1932 . First electronic television system on 180 lines at 25 fps was created in the beginning of 1935 in Leningrad ( St. Petersburg ) . In September 1937 the experimental Leningrad TV Center ( OLTC ) was put in action . OLTC worked with 240 lines at 25 fps progressive scan . In Moscow , experimental transmissions of electronic television took place on March 9 , 1937 , using equipment manufactured by RCA . Regular broadcasting began on December 31 , 1938 . It was quickly realized that 343 lines of resolution offered by this format would have become insufficient in the long run , thus a specification for 441 - line format at 25 fps interlaced was developed in 1940 . Television broadcasts were suspended during Great Patriotic War . In 1944 , while the war was still raging , a new standard , offering 625 lines of vertical resolution was prepared . This format was ultimately accepted as a national standard . The transmissions in 625 - line format started in Moscow on November 4 , 1948 . Regular broadcasting began on June 16 , 1949 . Details for this standard were formalized in 1955 specification called GOST 7845 - 55 , basic parameters for black - and - white television broadcast . In particular , frame size was set to 625 lines , frame rate to 25 frames / s interlaced , and video bandwidth to 6 MHz . These basic parameters were accepted by most countries having 50 Hz mains frequency and became the foundation of television systems presently known as PAL and SECAM . Starting in 1951 , broadcasting in the 625 - line standard was introduced in other major cities of the Soviet Union . Color television broadcast started in 1967 , using SECAM color system . Turkey ( edit ) The first Turkish television channel , ITU TV , was launched in 1952 . The first national television is TRT 1 and was launched in 1964 . Color television was introduced in 1981 . Before 1989 there was the only channel , the state broadcasting company TRT , and it broadcast in several times of the dateline . Turkey 's first private television channel Star started it broadcast on 26 May 1989 . Until then there was only one television channel controlled by the state , but with the wave of liberalization , privately owned broadcasting began . Turkey 's television market is defined by a handful of big channels , led by Kanal D , ATV and Show , with 14 % , 10 % and 9.6 % market share , respectively . The most important reception platforms are terrestrial and satellite , with almost 50 % of homes using satellite ( of these 15 % were pay services ) at the end of 2009 . Three services dominate the multi-channel market : the satellite platforms Digitürk and D - Smart and the cable TV service Türksat . United Kingdom ( edit ) The first British television broadcast was made by Baird Television 's electromechanical system over the BBC radio transmitter in September 1929 . Baird provided a limited amount of programming five days a week by 1930 . During this time , Southampton earned the distinction of broadcasting the first - ever live television interview , which featured Peggy O'Neil , an actress and singer from Buffalo , New York . On August 22 , 1932 , BBC launched its own regular service using Baird 's 30 - line electromechanical system , continuing until September 11 , 1935 . On November 2 , 1936 the BBC began broadcasting a dual - system service , alternating between Marconi - EMI 's 405 - line standard and Baird 's improved 240 - line standard , from Alexandra Palace in London , making the BBC Television Service ( now BBC One ) the UK 's first regular high - definition television service . The government , on advice from a special advisory committee , decided that Marconi - EMI 's electronic system gave the superior picture , and the Baird system was dropped in February 1937 . TV broadcasts in London were on the air an average of four hours daily from 1936 to 1939 . There were 12,000 to 15,000 receivers . Some sets in restaurants or bars might have 100 viewers for sport events ( Dunlap , p56 ) . The outbreak of the Second World War caused the BBC service to be abruptly suspended on September 1 , 1939 , at 12 : 35 pm , after a Mickey Mouse cartoon and test signals were broadcast , so that transmissions could not be used as a beacon to guide enemy aircraft to London . It resumed , again from Alexandra Palace on June 7 , 1946 after the end of the war , began with a live programme that opened with the line `` Good afternoon everybody . How are you ? Do you remember me , Jasmine Bligh ? '' '' and was followed by the same Mickey Mouse cartoon broadcast on the last day before the war . At the end of 1947 there were 54,000 licensed television receivers , compared with 44,000 television sets in the United States at that time . The first transatlantic television signal was sent in 1928 from London to New York by the Baird Television Development Company / Cinema Television , although this signal was not broadcast to the public . The first live satellite signal to Britain from the United States was broadcast via the Telstar satellite on July 23 , 1962 . The first live broadcast from the European continent was made on August 27 , 1950 . United States ( edit ) WNBT ( later WNBC ) schedule for first week of commercial TV programming in the United States , July 1941 American family watching TV , 1958 The first regularly scheduled television service in the United States began on July 2 , 1928 , fifteen months before the United Kingdom . The Federal Radio Commission authorized C.F. Jenkins to broadcast from experimental station W3XK in Wheaton Maryland , a suburb of Washington , D.C. For at least the first eighteen months , 48 - line silhouette images from motion picture film were broadcast , although beginning in the summer of 1929 he occasionally broadcast in halftones . Hugo Gernsback 's New York City radio station began a regular , if limited , schedule of live television broadcasts on August 14 , 1928 , using 48 - line images . Working with only one transmitter , the station alternated radio broadcasts with silent television images of the station 's call sign , faces in motion , and wind - up toys in motion . Speaking later that month , Gernsback downplayed the broadcasts , intended for amateur experimenters . `` In six months we may have television for the public , but so far we have not got it . '' Gernsback also published Television , the world 's first magazine about the medium . General Electric 's experimental station in Schenectady , New York , on the air sporadically since January 13 , 1928 , was able to broadcast reflected - light , 48 - line images via shortwave as far as Los Angeles , and by September was making four television broadcasts weekly . It is considered to be the direct predecessor of current television station WRGB . The Queen 's Messenger , a one - act play broadcast on September 11 , 1928 , was the world 's first live drama on television . Radio giant RCA began daily experimental television broadcasts in New York City in March 1929 over station W2XBS , the predecessor of current television station WNBC . The 60 - line transmissions consisted of pictures , signs , and views of persons and objects . Experimental broadcasts continued to 1931 . General Broadcasting System 's WGBS radio and W2XCR television aired their regular broadcasting debut in New York City on April 26 , 1931 , with a special demonstration set up in Aeolian Hall at Fifth Avenue and Fifty - fourth Street . Thousands waited to catch a glimpse of the Broadway stars who appeared on the six - inch ( 15 cm ) square image , in an evening event to publicize a weekday programming schedule offering films and live entertainers during the four - hour daily broadcasts . Appearing were boxer Primo Carnera , actors Gertrude Lawrence , Louis Calhern , Frances Upton and Lionel Atwill , WHN announcer Nils Granlund , the Forman Sisters , and a host of others . CBS 's New York City station W2XAB began broadcasting their first regular seven - day - a-week television schedule on July 21 , 1931 , with a 60 - line electromechanical system . The first broadcast included Mayor Jimmy Walker , the Boswell Sisters , Kate Smith , and George Gershwin . The service ended in February 1933 . Don Lee Broadcasting 's station W6XAO in Los Angeles went on the air in December 1931 . Using the UHF spectrum , it broadcast a regular schedule of filmed images every day except Sundays and holidays for several years . By 1935 , low - definition electromechanical television broadcasting had ceased in the United States except for a handful of stations run by public universities that continued to 1939 . The Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) saw television in the continual flux of development with no consistent technical standards , hence all such stations in the U.S. were granted only experimental and non-commercial licenses , hampering television 's economic development . Just as importantly , Philo Farnsworth 's August 1934 demonstration of an all - electronic system at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia pointed out the direction of television 's future . On June 15 , 1936 , Don Lee Broadcasting began a one - month - long demonstration of high definition ( 240 + line ) television in Los Angeles on W6XAO ( later KTSL , now KCBS - TV ) with a 300 - line image from motion picture film . By October , W6XAO was making daily television broadcasts of films . By 1934 RCA increased the definition to 343 interlaced lines and the frame rate to 30 per second . On July 7 , 1936 RCA and its subsidiary NBC demonstrated in New York City a 343 - line electronic television broadcast with live and film segments to its licensees , and made its first public demonstration to the press on November 6 . Irregularly scheduled broadcasts continued through 1937 and 1938 . Regularly scheduled electronic broadcasts began in April 1938 in New York ( to the second week of June , and resuming in August ) and Los Angeles . NBC officially began regularly scheduled television broadcasts in New York on April 30 , 1939 , with a broadcast of the opening of the 1939 New York World 's Fair . In 1937 RCA raised the frame definition to 441 lines , and its executives petitioned the FCC for approval of the standard . By June 1939 , regularly scheduled 441 - line electronic television broadcasts were available in New York City and Los Angeles , and by November on General Electric 's station in Schenectady . From May through December 1939 , the New York City NBC station ( W2XBS ) of RCA broadcast twenty to fifty - eight hours of programming per month , Wednesday through Sunday of each week . The programming was 33 % news , 29 % drama , and 17 % educational programming , with an estimated 2,000 receiving sets by the end of the year , and an estimated audience of five to eight thousand . A remote truck could cover outdoor events from up to 10 miles ( 16 km ) away from the transmitter , which was located atop the Empire State Building . Coaxial cable was used to cover events at Madison Square Garden . The coverage area for reliable reception was a radius of 40 to 50 miles ( 80 km ) from the Empire State Building , an area populated by more than 10,000,000 people ( Lohr , 1940 ) . The FCC adopted NTSC television engineering standards on May 2 , 1941 , calling for 525 lines of vertical resolution , 30 frames per second with interlaced scanning , 60 fields per second , and sound carried by frequency modulation . Sets sold since 1939 that were built for slightly lower resolution could still be adjusted to receive the new standard . ( Dunlap , p31 ) . The FCC saw television ready for commercial licensing , and the first such licenses were issued to NBC - and CBS - owned stations in New York on July 1 , 1941 , followed by Philco 's station WPTZ in Philadelphia . The first official , paid advertising to appear on American commercial television occurred on the afternoon of July 1 , 1941 , over New York station WNBT ( now WNBC ) before a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies . The announcement for Bulova watches , for which the company paid anywhere from $4.00 to $9.00 ( reports vary ) , displayed a WNBT test pattern modified to look like a clock with the hands showing the time . The Bulova logo , with the phrase `` Bulova Watch Time '' , was shown in the lower right - hand quadrant of the test pattern while the second hand swept around the dial for one minute . After the U.S. entry into World War II , the FCC reduced the required minimum air time for commercial television stations from 15 hours per week to 4 hours . Most TV stations suspended broadcasting ; of the ten original television stations only six continued through the war . On the few that remained , programs included entertainment such as boxing and plays , events at Madison Square Garden , and illustrated war news as well as training for air raid wardens and first aid providers . In 1942 , there were 5,000 sets in operation , but production of new TVs , radios , and other broadcasting equipment for civilian purposes was suspended from April 1942 to August 1945 ( Dunlap ) . The Philco Predicta , 1958 . In the collection of The Children 's Museum of Indianapolis By 1947 , when there were 40 million radios in the U.S. , there were about 44,000 television sets ( with probably 30,000 in the New York area ) . Regular network television broadcasts began on NBC on a three - station network linking New York with the Capital District and Philadelphia in 1944 ; on the DuMont Television Network in 1946 , and on CBS and ABC in 1948 . Following the rapid rise of television after the war , the Federal Communications Commission was flooded with applications for television station licenses . With more applications than available television channels , the FCC ordered a freeze on processing station applications in 1948 that remained in effect until April 14 , 1952 . By 1949 , the networks stretched from New York to the Mississippi River , and by 1951 to the West Coast . Commercial color television broadcasts began on CBS in 1951 with a field - sequential color system that was suspended four months later for technical and economic reasons . The television industry 's National Television System Committee ( NTSC ) developed a color television system based on RCA technology that was compatible with existing black and white receivers , and commercial color broadcasts reappeared in 1953 . Cable television ( edit ) Main article : Cable television See also : Cable television by region This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2014 ) Cable television is a system of broadcasting television programming to paying subscribers via radio frequency ( RF ) signals transmitted through coaxial cables or light pulses through fiber - optic cables . This contrasts with traditional terrestrial television , in which the television signal is transmitted over the air by radio waves and received by a television antenna attached to the television . FM radio programming , high - speed Internet , telephone service , and similar non-television services may also be provided through these cables . The abbreviation CATV is often used for cable television . It originally stood for Community Access Television or Community Antenna Television , from cable television 's origins in 1948 : in areas where over-the - air reception was limited by distance from transmitters or mountainous terrain , large `` community antennas '' were constructed , and cable was run from them to individual homes . The origins of cable broadcasting are even older as radio programming was distributed by cable in some European cities as far back as 1924 . Early cable television was analog , but since the 2000s all cable operators have switched to , or are in the process of switching to , digital cable television . Satellite television ( edit ) Main article : Satellite television Overview ( edit ) Satellite television is a system of supplying television programming using broadcast signals relayed from communication satellites . The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic reflector antenna usually referred to as a satellite dish and a low - noise block downconverter ( LNB ) . A satellite receiver then decodes the desired television programme for viewing on a television set . Receivers can be external set - top boxes , or a built - in television tuner . Satellite television provides a wide range of channels and services , especially to geographic areas without terrestrial television or cable television . The most common method of reception is direct - broadcast satellite television ( DBSTV ) , also known as `` direct to home '' ( DTH ) . In DBSTV systems , signals are relayed from a direct broadcast satellite on the K wavelength and are completely digital . Satellite TV systems formerly used systems known as television receive - only . These systems received analog signals transmitted in the C - band spectrum from FSS type satellites , and required the use of large dishes . Consequently , these systems were nicknamed `` big dish '' systems , and were more expensive and less popular . The direct - broadcast satellite television signals were earlier analog signals and later digital signals , both of which require a compatible receiver . Digital signals may include high - definition television ( HDTV ) . Some transmissions and channels are free - to - air or free - to - view , while many other channels are pay television requiring a subscription . In 1945 British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke proposed a worldwide communications system that would function by means of three satellites equally spaced apart in earth orbit . This was published in the October 1945 issue of the Wireless World magazine and won him the Franklin Institute 's Stuart Ballantine Medal in 1963 . The first satellite television signals from Europe to North America were relayed via the Telstar satellite over the Atlantic ocean on July 23 , 1962 . The signals were received and broadcast in North American and European countries and watched by over 100 million . Launched in 1962 , the Relay 1 satellite was the first satellite to transmit television signals from the US to Japan . The first geosynchronous communication satellite , Syncom 2 , was launched on July 26 , 1963 . The world 's first commercial communications satellite , called Intelsat I and nicknamed `` Early Bird '' , was launched into geosynchronous orbit on April 6 , 1965 . The first national network of television satellites , called Orbita , was created by the Soviet Union in October 1967 , and was based on the principle of using the highly elliptical Molniya satellite for rebroadcasting and delivering of television signals to a network of twenty ground downlink stations each equipped with a parabolic antenna 39 feet ( 12 m ) in diameter . The first commercial North American satellite to carry television transmissions was Canada 's geostationary Anik 1 , which was launched on 9 November 1972 . ATS - 6 , the world 's first experimental educational and Direct Broadcast Satellite ( DBS ) , was launched on May 30 , 1974 . It transmitted at 860 MHz using wideband FM modulation and had two sound channels . The transmissions were focused on the Indian subcontinent but experimenters were able to receive the signal in Western Europe using home constructed equipment that drew on UHF television design techniques already in use . In the Soviet Union , the Moskva ( or Moscow ) system of broadcasting and delivering of TV signals via satellites was launched in 1979 . Stationary and mobile downlink stations with parabolic antennas 13.1 and 8.2 feet ( 4 and 2.5 m ) in diameter were receiving signal from Gorizont communication satellites deployed to geostationary orbits . The first in a series of Soviet geostationary satellites to carry Direct - To - Home television , Ekran 1 , was launched on October 26 , 1976 . It used a 714 MHz UHF downlink frequency so that the transmissions could be received with existing UHF television technology rather than microwave technology . Beginning of the satellite TV industry ( edit ) In the United States , the satellite television industry developed from the cable television industry as communication satellites were being used to distribute television programming to remote cable television headends . Home Box Office ( HBO ) , Turner Broadcasting System ( TBS ) , and Christian Broadcasting Network ( CBN , later The Family Channel ) were among the first to use satellite television to deliver programming . Taylor Howard of San Andreas , California became the first person to receive C - band satellite signals with his home - built system in 1976 . PBS , a non-profit public broadcasting service , began to distribute its television programming by satellite in 1978 . On October 18 , 1979 , the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) began allowing people to have home satellite earth stations without a federal government license . The front cover of the 1979 Neiman - Marcus Christmas catalogue featured the first home satellite TV stations on sale for $36,500 . The dishes were nearly 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) in diameter and were remote - controlled . The price went down by half soon after that , but there were only eight more channels . The Society for Private and Commercial Earth Stations ( SPACE ) , an organisation that represented consumers and satellite TV system owners was established in 1980 . Early satellite television systems were not very popular due to their expense and large dish size . The satellite television dishes of the systems in the late 1970s and early 1980s were 10 to 16 feet ( 3.0 to 4.9 m ) in diameter , made of fibreglass or solid aluminum or steel , and in the United States cost more than $5,000 , sometimes as much as $10,000 . Programming sent from ground stations was relayed from eighteen satellites in geostationary orbit located 22,300 miles ( 35,900 km ) above the Earth . TVRO / C - band satellite ERA ( edit ) Further information : Television receive - only By 1980 , satellite television was well established in the USA and Europe . On April 26 , 1982 , the first satellite channel in the UK , Satellite Television Ltd. ( later Sky1 ) , was launched . Its signals were transmitted from the ESA 's Orbital Test Satellites . Between 1981 and 1985 , TVRO systems ' sales rates increased as prices fell . Advances in receiver technology and the use of Gallium Arsenide FET technology enabled the use of smaller dishes . 500,000 systems , some costing as little as $2000 , were sold in the US in 1984 . Dishes pointing to one satellite were even cheaper . People in areas without local broadcast stations or cable television service could obtain good - quality reception with no monthly fees . The large dishes were a subject of much consternation , as many people considered them eyesores , and in the US most condominiums , neighborhoods , and other homeowner associations tightly restricted their use , except in areas where such restrictions were illegal . These restrictions were altered in 1986 when the Federal Communications Commission ruled all of them illegal . A municipality could require a property owner to relocate the dish if it violated other zoning restrictions , such as a setback requirement , but could not outlaw their use . The necessity of these restrictions would slowly decline as the dishes got smaller . Originally , all channels were broadcast in the clear ( ITC ) because the equipment necessary to receive the programming was too expensive for consumers . With the growing number of TVRO systems , the program providers and broadcasters had to scramble their signal and develop subscription systems . In October 1984 , the U.S. Congress passed the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 , which gave those using TVRO systems the right to receive signals for free unless they were scrambled , and required those who did scramble to make their signals available for a reasonable fee . Since cable channels could prevent reception by big dishes , other companies had an incentive to offer competition . In January 1986 , HBO began using the now - obsolete VideoCipher II system to encrypt their channels . Other channels uses less secure television encryption systems . The scrambling of HBO was met with much protest from owners of big - dish systems , most of which had no other option at the time for receiving such channels , claiming that clear signals from cable channels would be difficult to receive . Eventually HBO allowed dish owners to subscribe directly to their service for $12.95 per month , a price equal to or higher than what cable subscribers were paying , and required a descrambler to be purchased for $395 . This led to the attack on HBO 's transponder Galaxy 1 by John R. MacDougall in April 1986 . One by one , all commercial channels followed HBO 's lead and began scrambling their channels . The Satellite Broadcasting and Communications Association SBCA was founded on December 2 , 1986 as the result of a merger between SPACE and the Direct Broadcast Satellite Association ( DBSA ) . Videocipher II used analog scrambling on its video signal and Data Encryption Standard based encryption on its audio signal . VideoCipher II was defeated , and there was a black market for descrambler devices , which were initially sold as `` test '' devices . Late 1980s and 1990s to present ( edit ) DBS satellite dishes . By 1987 , nine channels were scrambled , but 99 others were available free - to - air . While HBO initially charged a monthly fee of $19.95 , soon it became possible to unscramble all channels for $200 a year . Dish sales went down from 600,000 in 1985 to 350,000 in 1986 , but pay television services were seeing dishes as something positive since some people would never have cable service , and the industry was starting to recover as a result . Scrambling also led to the development of pay - per - view events . On November 1 , 1988 , NBC began scrambling its C - band signal but left its K band signal unencrypted in order for affiliates to not lose viewers who could not see their advertising . Most of the two million satellite dish users in the United States still used C - band . ABC and CBS were considering scrambling , though CBS was reluctant due to the number of people unable to receive local network affiliates . The piracy on satellite television networks in the US led to the introduction of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 . This legislation enabled anyone caught engaging in signal theft to be fined up to $50,000 and to be sentenced to a maximum of two years in prison . A repeat offender can be fined up to $100,000 and be imprisoned for up to five years . Satellite television had also developed in Europe but it initially used low power communication satellites and it required dish sizes of over 1.7 m ( 5 ft 7 in ) . On December 11 , 1988 Luxembourg launched Astra 1A , the first satellite to provide medium power satellite coverage to Western Europe . This was one of the first medium - powered satellites , transmitting signals in K band and allowing reception with small dishes ( 90 cm ) . The launch of Astra beat the winner of the UK 's state Direct Broadcast Satellite licence holder , British Satellite Broadcasting , to the market . In the US in the early 1990s , four large cable companies launched PrimeStar , a direct broadcasting company using medium power satellite . The relatively strong transissions allowed the use of smaller ( 90 cm ) dishes . Its popularity declined with the 1994 launch of the Hughes DirecTV and Dish Network satellite television systems . On March 4 , 1996 EchoStar introduced Digital Sky Highway ( Dish Network ) using the EchoStar 1 satellite . EchoStar launched a second satellite in September 1996 to increase the number of channels available on Dish Network to 170 . These systems provided better pictures and stereo sound on 150 - 200 video and audio channels , and allowed small dishes to be used . This greatly reduced the popularity of TVRO systems . In the mid-1990s , channels began moving their broadcasts to digital television transmission using the DigiCipher conditional access system . In addition to encryption , the widespread availability , in the US , of DBS services such as PrimeStar and DirecTV had been reducing the popularity of TVRO systems since the early 1990s . Signals from DBS satellites ( operating in the more recent K band ) are higher in both frequency and power ( due to improvements in the solar panels and energy efficiency of modern satellites ) and therefore require much smaller dishes than C - band , and the digital modulation methods now used require less signal strength at the receiver than analog modulation methods . Each satellite also can carry up to 32 transponders in the K band , but only 24 in the C band , and several digital subchannels can be multiplexed ( MCPC ) or carried separately ( SCPC ) on a single transponder . Advances in noise reduction due to improved microwave technology and semiconductor materials have also had an effect . However , one consequence of the higher frequencies used for DBS services is rain fade where viewers lose signal during a heavy downpour. C - band satellite television signals are less prone to rain fade . Internet television ( edit ) Main article : Internet television Not to be confused with Smart television , Internet Protocol television , or Web television . This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( December 2014 ) Internet television ( Internet TV ) , ( online television ) or IPTV ( Internet Protocol Television ) is the digital distribution of television content via the Internet as opposed to traditional systems like terrestrial , cable and satellite , although internet itself is received by terrestrial , cable or satellite methods . Internet television is a general term that covers the delivery of television shows and other video content over the Internet by video streaming technology , typically by major traditional television broadcasters . Internet television should not to be confused with Smart TV , IPTV or with Web TV . Smart television refers to the TV set that has an inbuilt operating system . Internet Protocol television ( IPTV ) is one of the emerging Internet television technology standards for use by television broadcasters . Web television is a term used for programs created by a wide variety of companies and individuals for broadcast on Internet TV . Television sets ( edit ) Main article : Television set A television set , also called a television receiver , television , TV set , TV , or telly , is a device that combines a tuner , display , and speakers for the purpose of viewing television . Introduced in the late 1920s in mechanical form , television sets became a popular consumer product after World War II in electronic form , using cathode ray tubes . The addition of color to broadcast television after 1953 further increased the popularity of television sets in the 1960s , and an outdoor antenna became a common feature of suburban homes . The ubiquitous television set became the display device for the first recorded media in the 1970s , such as VHS and later DVD . In the late 2000s flat panel television incorporating liquid - crystal displays largely replaced cathode ray tubes . Modern flat panel TVs are typically capable of high - definition display ( 720p , 1080p or 2160p ) and can also play content from a USB device . RCA 630 - TS , the first mass - produced television set , which sold in 1946 -- 1947 Mechanical televisions were commercially sold from 1928 to 1934 in the United Kingdom , United States , and Soviet Union . The earliest commercially made televisions sold by Baird called Televisors in the UK in 1928 were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube behind a mechanically spinning disk ( patented by German engineer Paul Nipkow in 1884 ) with a spiral of apertures first mass - produced television set , selling about a thousand units . The first commercially made electronic televisions with cathode ray tubes were manufactured by Telefunken in Germany in 1934 , followed by other makers in France ( 1936 ) , Britain ( 1936 ) , and the United States ( 1938 ) . The cheapest model with a 12 - inch ( 30 cm ) screen was $445 ( equivalent to $7,736 in 2017 ) . An estimated 19,000 electronic televisions were manufactured in Britain , and about 1,600 in Germany , before World War II . About 7,000 -- 8,000 electronic sets were made in the U.S. before the War Production Board halted manufacture in April 1942 , production resuming in August 1945 . Television usage in the western world skyrocketed after World War II with the lifting of the manufacturing freeze , war - related technological advances , the drop in television prices caused by mass production , increased leisure time , and additional disposable income . While only 0.5 % of U.S. households had a television in 1946 , 55.7 % had one in 1954 , and 90 % by 1962 . In Britain , there were 15,000 television households in 1947 , 1.4 million in 1952 , and 15.1 million by 1968 . By the late 1960s and early 1970s , color television had come into wide use . In Britain , BBC1 , BBC2 and ITV were regularly broadcasting in color by 1969 . By the late 2000s , CRT display technology was largely supplanted worldwide by flat - panel displays such as LCD . Flat - panel television , especially LCD , has become the dominant form of television since the early 2010s . Technological innovations ( edit ) The first national live television broadcast in the U.S. took place on September 4 , 1951 when President Harry Truman 's speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T 's transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets . The first live coast - to - coast commercial television broadcast in the U.S. took place on November 18 , 1951 during the premiere of CBS 's See It Now , which showed a split - screen view of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco . In 1958 , the CBC completed the longest television network in the world , from Sydney , Nova Scotia to Victoria , British Columbia . Reportedly , the first continuous live broadcast of a `` breaking '' news story in the world was conducted by the CBC during the Springhill mining disaster , which began on October 23 of that year . The development of cable television and satellite television in the 1970s allowed for more channels and encouraged businessmen to target programming toward specific audiences . It also enabled the rise of subscription television channels , such as Home Box Office ( HBO ) and Showtime in the U.S. , and Sky Television in the U.K. Television pioneers ( edit ) Important people in the development of TV technology in the 19th or 20th centuries .

Initially , Bettany was raised Roman Catholic , although his church attendance drifted after his confirmation . Later he attended Methodist and Church of England congregations with his father , as the latter experimented with different Christian branches . Bettany later became an atheist . While his father taught at the all - girls boarding school Queenswood School near Hatfield , Hertfordshire , the family lived on the campus . When Bettany was 16 , his brother Matthew died at age 8 after falling onto concrete from a tennis pavilion roof at Queenswood . Soon after , Bettany dropped out of school , left home , and went to live on his own as a street performer in London . He lived in a small flat and earned money by playing his guitar in the streets as a busker . His parents later divorced . After two years , he found a new job in a home for the elderly . After working there for a year , Bettany enrolled at the Drama Centre in London .

At the age of 89 , director Agnès Varda became the oldest person to be nominated for a competitive award in Academy Award history ( Best Documentary Feature for Faces Places ) .

It had previously earned nominations for Best Documentary Feature , including two for this ninetieth awards ceremony , but has never yet won . Get Out is the first horror film since Black Swan in 2011 , and the first film released in February since The Silence of the Lambs to be nominated for Best Picture . Logan is the first superhero film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay . It is also the first superhero film to be nominated for screenwriting since The Incredibles . Three Billboards Outside Ebbing , Missouri is the first movie to receive two nominations for Best Supporting Actor since Ben Kingsley and Harvey Keitel were both nominated for Bugsy in 1992 , as well as the first Best Picture nominee that won the Toronto International Film Festival People 's Choice Award not to be nominated for Best Director since The Big Chill in 1984 . The nominations for Timothée Chalamet and Daniel Kaluuya mark the first time since Kenneth Branagh and Tom Cruise in 1990 in which there are two Best Actor nominees in their twenties . Timothée Chalamet is the first Best Actor nominee born in the 1990s , as well as the first for a movie in which they did not receive top billing since Ben Kingsley in 2004 . With his nomination for Roman J. Israel , Esq. , Denzel Washington is now the most honored African - American actor and the fifth-most honored actor in Academy Award history with eight nominations for acting , tying the latter honor with Marlon Brando , Jack Lemmon , Peter O'Toole , Al Pacino , and Geraldine Page . Mary J. Blige became the first person to be nominated for acting and songwriting in the same year .

Alongside with Powell , Durran had the distinction of being nominated for Best Costume Design nominees with one that is based on a Disney live - action adaptation of its animated classic and the other that take place in the 1940s to 1950s within the late modern period to the contemporary period . Yance Ford is the first openly transgender director to be nominated for an Academy Award . Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer are the first production designers to receive more than one nomination for Best Production Design in the same year ( Beauty and the Beast and Darkest Hour ) since Dennis Gassner and Nancy Haigh in 1992 in which the latter two earned two nominations in the same category simultaneously , ( Bugsy and Barton Fink ) . For the first time , all five directors nominated were nominated upon screenplays that they themselves had written or had written being part of a team . All five were Original ( not based on previously adapted materials . ) ( Three of those screenplays were nominated for Best Original Screenplay . Anderson and Nolan were not nominated . ) Ceremony information ( edit ) Jimmy Kimmel will host the 90th Academy Awards Despite the mixed reception received from the preceding year 's ceremony , the Academy rehired Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd as producers for the second consecutive year . In May 2017 , it was announced that Jimmy Kimmel will return as host for a second consecutive year . Kimmel expressed that he was thrilled to be selected to MC the gala again , commenting , `` Hosting the Oscars was a highlight of my career and I am grateful to Cheryl ( Boone Isaacs ) , Dawn ( Hudson ) , and the Academy for asking me to return to work with two of my favorite people , Mike De Luca and Jennifer Todd . If you think we screwed up the ending this year , wait until you see what we have planned for the 90th anniversary show !

Also joining the march efforts are Alex Wind of Stoneman Douglas High School , who along with four friends created the `` Never Again '' campaign . Emma González and David Hogg , also survivors of the shooting , have been vocal supporters of the march . The date was chosen in order to give students , families and others a chance to mourn first , and then on March 24 , talk about gun control . Organizers filed a permit application with the National Park Service during the week of February 23 , and expected as many as 500,000 people to attend . However , the National Mall , which was the planned site of the main march in Washington , D.C. , was reportedly already booked for March 24 ; the application , filed by an unidentified local student group , claimed it was for a talent show . A permit was later obtained for Pennsylvania Avenue . The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced it would operate extra trains for the march . The Enough ! National School Walkout was held on the one month anniversary of the Stoneman Douglas shooting .

Thousands of students also gathered and staged a rally in Washington , D.C. , after observing 17 minutes of silence with their backs to the White House . After the success of the walkout , Hogg posted a tweet that included a provocative , NRA - style advertisement calling out lawmakers for their inaction on or opposition to gun control efforts , asking `` What if our politicians were n't the bitch of the NRA ?

Singers Ariana Grande , Lin - Manuel Miranda , Ben Platt , Miley Cyrus , Jennifer Hudson , Andra Day , Common , Selena Gomez , Lady Gaga , and Demi Lovato joined student - led marchers in Washington , D.C. Responses ( edit ) National rifle Association ( edit ) On March 21 , NRA TV host Grant Stinchfield stated that `` March for Our Lives is backed by radicals with a history of violent threats , language and actions '' ; fact - checker PolitiFact has rated this statement as being `` without merit '' and `` Pants on Fire '' indicating that it is a `` ridiculous claim '' . While the march was occurring , the NRA posted a membership drive video on their Facebook page , declaring that the `` protests are n't spontaneous . Gun - hating billionaires and Hollywood elites are manipulating and exploiting children as part of their plan to DESTROY the Second Amendment '' . Another video dubbed `` A March for Their Lies '' was uploaded to YouTube featuring Colion Noir , in which he described the planned rally as a `` carnival of a march '' . Noir also said in the video that there is an `` agenda that 's a million times bigger than the guns '' . Politicians ( edit ) The Governor of New York , Andrew Cuomo , leading the NYC March For Our Lives rally The Washington Post reported that there were many Democrats encouraging the marchers , and many of them , including candidates for office , participated from the sidelines in the march , but few Republicans did similarly . The White House said in a response that they `` applaud the many courageous young Americans exercising their first amendment rights '' . On the day of the protests , Florida Republican senator Marco Rubio responded by stating : `` However , many other Americans do not support a gun ban '' and `` view banning guns as an infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens that ultimately will not prevent these tragedies '' . He called for protesters to find `` common ground with those who hold opposing views '' for change to happen . However , a blanket gun ban was not called for by the protests . Former Republican senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum criticized the Parkland activists , suggesting during an interview with CNN that students should be learning ways to respond to a shooter rather than asking lawmakers `` to solve their problem '' ; Santorum advised students to take classes in CPR rather than marching in Washington . The Washington Post quoted several doctors responding to Santorum that CPR would not be at all effective on gunshot victims as they were suffering from blood loss . Former Democratic President Barack Obama said that he was `` so inspired by all the young people '' who made March for Our Lives possible . He addressed them : `` Keep at it . You 're leading us forward . Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change . '' Media ( edit ) A report in The New Yorker praised the leaders of the march for their `` extraordinary inclusiveness '' in that they expanded the locus of concern from suburban schools to those of urban neighborhoods as well . On social media , fake pictures and GIFs of Emma González tearing up a copy of the U.S. Constitution were circulated in an effort to discredit the march . The images were doctored from originals of González tearing up a shooting target sign . Actor and conservative commentator Adam Baldwin defended circulating the doctored images as `` political satire '' . Celebrities ( edit ) Jesse Hughes , a survivor of the Bataclan terrorist attack , called the march `` pathetic '' , but after being criticized for his comment , later apologized saying , `` I was not attempting to impugn the youth of America and this beautiful thing that they accomplished . I truly am sorry , I did not mean to hurt anyone or cause any harm .

where did the march for our lives take place
[ "March for Our Lives (sometimes MFOL)[4] was a student-led demonstration in support of tighter gun control that took place on March 24, 2018, in Washington, D.C., with over 800 sibling events throughout the United States and around the world.[5][6][7][8][9] Student organizers from Never Again MSD planned the march in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Everytown for Gun Safety.[10] The event followed the February 14, 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, which was described by many media outlets as a possible tipping point for gun control legislation.[11][12][13]\n" ]

( June 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Australian Driver Licence The front and back of an ACT Driver Licence Issued by States and Territories of Australia Type of document Driver licence Purpose Identification Eligibility requirements Qualified drivers of Australian States and Territories A driver 's licence ( or driver licence ) is required in Australia before a person is permitted to drive a motor vehicle of any description on a road in Australia for commerce . The responsibility for the regulation and enforcement of road use , including light vehicle driver licensing is the responsibility of the state and territory governments . A driver 's licence issued in one Australian state or territory is recognised and valid in the other states and territories . Contents ( hide ) 1 Classes of licences 2 Car licences -- rules by jurisdiction 2.1 Terms 2.2 Driving age 2.3 Australian Capital Territory 2.4 New South Wales 2.5 Northern Territory 2.6 Queensland 2.7 South Australia 2.8 Tasmania 2.9 Victoria 2.10 Western Australia 2.10. 1 Graduated demerit points 2.10. 2 Full driver 's licence 2.10. 3 Double or nothing 3 Identification 4 Overseas licences 5 Interstate travel 6 Interstate commercial driving jobs 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Classes of licences ( edit ) All states and territories in Australia have a uniform driver licence system . Class Type Description Car licence Covers vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass ( GVM ) . GVM is the maximum recommended weight a vehicle can be when loaded . The licence allows the holder to drive cars , utilities , vans , some light trucks , car - based motor tricycles , tractors and implements such as graders , vehicles that seat up to 12 adults , including the driver . Rider licence Applies to motorcycle riders with any registrable motorcycle . RE Restricted Rider licence Covers motorcycles matching the LAMS ( Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme ) list of motorcycles of each state . Generally this means abiding by a power - to - weight ratio and a total engine size limit . Riders must hold this licence for 12 months before being permitted to upgrade to a R class motorcycle licence . LR Light Rigid licence Covers a rigid vehicle with a GVM of more than 4.5 tonnes up to 8 tonnes . Any towed trailer must not weigh more than 9 tonnes GVM . This class also includes vehicles with a GVM up to 8 tonnes which carry more than 12 adults including the driver . A holder of a LR licence is also permitted to drive vehicles in class C . MR Medium Rigid licence Covers a rigid vehicle with 2 axles and a GVM of more than 8 tonnes . Any towed trailer must not weigh more than 9 tonnes GVM . A holder of a MR licence is also permitted to drive vehicles in class LR and lower . HR Heavy Rigid licence Covers a rigid vehicle with 3 or more axles and a GVM of more than 8 tonnes .

A holder of a MC licence is also permitted to drive vehicles in class HC and lower . The medical standards for drivers of commercial vehicles are set by the National Transport Commission and Austroads . The driver of a vehicle carrying paying passengers ( such as a school bus or tourist coach ) is required to hold a driver licence depending on the size of the vehicle as well as a `` Public Passenger Vehicle Driver Authority '' which is issued by the state or territory Ministry of Transport . Car licences -- rules by jurisdiction ( edit ) Terms ( edit ) The official nomenclature for car licences varies in the states and territories , for example `` Driver 's Licence '' or `` Driver Licence '' . However , `` Driver 's Licence '' is most commonly used . The official names for learners also vary , for example `` Learner Driver Licences '' or `` Learner 's Permit '' . Driving age ( edit ) The minimum driving age for drivers varies between States and Territories . Learner drivers may drive , under the supervision of a fully licensed driver , from 15 years and 9 months in the ACT , and 16 years in the other states and the Northern Territory . The minimum unsupervised driving age is 18 years in Victoria , 16 years and 6 months in the Northern Territory , and 17 years in all other states and the ACT . After obtaining a licence , drivers continue to be subject to restrictions during a probationary period . It is three years in the ACT , New South Wales and South Australia , and two years in the Northern Territory . Australian Capital Territory ( edit ) The driving age in the Australian Capital Territory is 17 years . After obtaining a licence , a driver continues to be subject to restrictions during a three - year probationary period . Learner Licence The minimum age for obtaining a Learner Licence is 15 years and 9 months . The applicant must complete a road safety program Road Ready that is taught in many secondary schools or at a Road Ready Centre and pass a computerised road rules test before obtaining a Learner Licence . The road ready course is a minimum of ten hours , if undertaken at a road ready centre and not through school . During the course , applicants for a Learner Licence learn the road rules , undergo alcohol education and hazard perception training . Once this course has been completed , and a computerised Road rules test is passed , a Learner 's Licence is obtained . This licence is valid for two years . Learners must display black on yellow `` L Plates '' and drive under the supervision of a full Australian licence holder , who has held their licence for at least four years . Provisional Licence Provisional Licence applicants must be at least 17 years of age , held a Learner Licence for a minimum of six months . Two methods of testing are available for Learner 's to progress to a provisional licence . The first method , is to complete a competency based scheme with a ACT government accredited driving instructor . In lieu of a single practical driving test , learner drivers may , during their accredited instructor driving lessons , complete a log book containing 22 driving proficiencies . Once a learner has passed all driving proficiencies in the log book , the log book is turned into the ACT Roads and Transit Authority , and a provisional licence is issued . The second method in which a Provisional Licence may be obtained , is through recording driving experience in the same logbook , with a supervisor who has held an open licence for twelve months for the class of vehicle used . The difference in using this method to obtain a provisional licence is that the log book only records time spent driving , and not the Learner 's ability to drive . While no minimum amount of hours are required , Learners are advised when obtaining their Learner 's licence , that 50 or more practical hours are recommended before attempting the practical test . Using this method , provided the driver has held their Learner 's licence for a period greater than 6 months , they may book into an ACT Roads and Transit Authority Centre , and attempt the practical driving test . If either method is used , and the driver has obtained their licence in an Automatic transmission vehicle , an `` A '' condition is placed on the licence , for a period of 12 months . This condition restricts the license holder , for the duration of this period , to driving vehicles with automatic transmission only . To remove the condition prior to 12 months , the provisional driver must re-attempt the practical driving exam in a manual transmission vehicle . The Provisional Licence is valid for three years . Provisional drivers must display red on white `` P Plates '' for three years unless : ( a ) they take an additional road safety program Road Ready Plus after six months of obtaining their Provisional Licence ; or ( b ) they are over 26 years of age and held their licence for six months . Provisional holders who have taken the Road Ready Plus ( RRP ) course , ( commonly called a `` P - off '' course ) , or are over 26 years of age also get an additional four demerit point allowance . A `` PC '' condition is displayed on the licence , which indicates that the provisional driver can drive with `` P plates not displayed '' . Provisional drivers must have a zero blood - alcohol limit . No speed restrictions are imposed on ACT learner or Provisional drivers , and they are permitted to drive the posted speed limit . Full Licence A Full Licence is upgradable after holding a Provisional Licence for three years . New South Wales ( edit ) The Roads and Maritime Services is responsible for driver licensing in New South Wales . The minimum driving age in New South Wales is 16 years . The government introduced the Graduated Licensing Scheme in 2000 and therefore learners progress from a learner licence , to a provisional P1 licence , to a provisional P2 licence and finally to a full licence over an extended period of time . After obtaining a licence , a driver continues to be subject to restrictions during a three - year probationary period . Learner Licence A learner licence is gained after : ( a ) the minimum driving age of 16 is met ; ( b ) passing a touch - screen computer - based test Driver Knowledge Test ; ( c ) provide identification ; and ( d ) pass an eyesight test . Learners are permitted to drive accompanied by a supervising unrestricted licence holder . Learners are subject to numerous restrictions : ( a ) a maximum speed of 90 km / h ; ( b ) a zero blood alcohol content limit ; ( c ) can not tow a trailer ; and ( d ) and must conspicuously display black - on - yellow `` L - plates '' on the exterior of the vehicle while driving . Learners must complete at least 120 hours of driving practice including 20 hours of night driving and hold the learner licence for at least 12 months before a provisional P1 licence is issued . Since 16 December 2009 , one hour with an instructor is equal to three hours of normal driving hours until a total of ten hours with an instructor . This equates to a maximum of 30 hours which can be accumulated at an advanced rate . Since 19 December 2009 , learner drivers 25 years old and over are not required to complete a learner driver log book and are exempt from the twelve - month tenure . Provisional P1 Licence A provisional P1 licence ( commonly called Ps and Reds ) is gained after : ( a ) a minimum twelve months of holding a learner licence ; ( b ) 120 hours ( 20 hours night drive between sunset and sunrise ) of on - road driving experience ; and ( c ) pass a driving test . The licence holder can drive unaccompanied but is limited to a maximum speed of 90 km / h , towing trailers of up to 250 kg and a zero alcohol content . Red - on - white `` P - plates '' must be displayed while driving . P1 drivers are limited to a total of four demerit points during the term of the licence , as compared to the thirteen - point limit on unrestricted licences . P1 drivers must hold the licence for one year before progressing to the next stage . In New South Wales the minimum age to be eligible for a provisional P1 licence is 17 . As of 1 July 2007 , new laws for P1 drivers have been introduced , including a limit of one passenger under the age of 21 between 11 pm and 5 am , and instant suspension for three months for any speeding offence . Furthermore , it is also now a requirement that red `` P - plates '' be displayed on the outside of the vehicle . P1 and P2 drivers are also prohibited from driving a vehicle with a power - to - weight ratio of or greater than 130 kilowatts per tonne as of 1 August 2014 , replacing the previous law of being prohibited from driving vehicles with 8 or more cylinders and being turbocharged or supercharged ( diesel vehicles exempt ) If a P1 or P2 licence holder is disqualified by a court for a serious driving offence , they will have a one - passenger condition imposed on them at all times while on their P1 or P2 licence . It is also worth noting that any time a P1 or P2 licence is suspended or disqualified will NOT count towards the 12 months / 24 months needed for the holder to progress to a P2 / full licence . Provisional P2 Licence A provisional P2 licence ( commonly known as Ps and Greens ) is gained after one year and successful completion of a computerised hazard perception test . The driver is restricted to a speed limit of 100 km / h , a zero alcohol limit and a maximum of seven demerit points ; however , they are eligible to upgrade the class of their licence , such as those for heavier vehicles . P2 drivers must conspicuously display a green - on - white `` P - plate '' on the exterior of the vehicle at all times . P2 drivers must hold the licence for two years before progressing to the next stage . From 1 December 2016 , P2 licence holders will no longer be permitted to use a mobile phone at all while driving or riding . Full Licence A full , unrestricted licence is gained after two years and successful completion of another computerised test . Unrestricted drivers licences are coloured gold . Northern Territory ( edit ) The learner licence may be obtained at age 16 . Learner drivers may not use a mobile phone and must be supervised by a full licence holder and may not drive faster than 80 km / h . After holding the learner licence for six months a provisional licence may be obtained . Once the provisional licence is obtained , it must be held for a minimum of 2 years before obtaining the full northern territory licence . Provisional Licence The provisional licence period is a minimum of two years . Provisional drivers need to comply with all road rules and traffic laws and other restrictions : eg. , the speed limit is 100 km / h , The Blood Alcohol Concentration ( BAC ) must be a zero , provisional drivers are not permitted to use a mobile phone in any form whilst driving , including hands - free devices and texting . Accumulating five or more demerit points within a 12 - month period will trigger action against a provisional driver . Provisional drivers must display approved P - plates that are clearly visible to the front and rear of the vehicle and which do not obstruct the driver 's vision . P - plates must have the letter ' P ' in red on a white background . The plate must be a minimum of 150mm wide and 150mm tall . P - plates must not be displayed when the person driving the vehicle is not a provisional driver . Source : Northern Territory Department of Transport Queensland ( edit ) The Department of Transport and Main Roads is responsible for driver licensing in Queensland . Learner Licence Persons may apply for their Learner Licence at 16 years of age , passing a written Road Rules Test . Learners under 25 must hold a licence for at least one year and log a total of 100hrs on - road driving experience ( including 10hrs night driving ) in the issued logbook . However , a logbook exemption can be applied for , meaning the learner will not need to submit a logbook with 100 hours of driving , but will need to hold a Learner Licence for a minimum of 12 months before going for the provisional licence . Learners over 25 years of age are not required to complete a log book of 100 logged driving hours ; however , they may voluntarily do so . Learners must display yellow L - plates and are not speed restricted by the licence . Learners must be accompanied by an open licence holder who has held the relevant class open licence for at least 1 year . The drinking level must be 0.00 for a learner and instructor must be under 0.049 . Provisional licence 1 P1 is a transitional licence for applicants 25 years old or younger . Applicants must be at least 17 years of age , held a Learner Licence for a minimum of twelve months , recorded a minimum of 100 hours driving experience in the learner logbook with a supervisor who has held an open licence for twelve months for the class of vehicle used or an accredited driving instructor , and has passed a practical driving test . P1 drivers must at all times display red P - plates . P1 licence holders may upgrade to P2 licences after holding their P1 licences for one year and passing the hazard perception test . There are restrictions to the power of the vehicles and the number of passengers allowed in relation to P1 drivers . Drivers over 25 years of age who successfully pass their practical driving test are able to skip the P1 licence stage and progress directly to the P2 licence stage . Provisional licence 2 If not upgraded from P1 , applicants must have held a Learner Licence for a minimum of twelve months . P2 drivers must display green P - plates . P2 licence holders may upgrade to an open licence after holding their P2 licence for two years ( one year for P2 licence holders over 25 years of age ) . As with P1 licences , there are restrictions to power and passengers but they are less restrictive than P1 licences . Driver Licence The Queensland Government is replacing the current laminate Driver Licence & Heavy Vehicle Driver Licence with a more secure , durable and reliable licence . All licensing and personal information that is currently on the face of the laminated licence will remain on the face of the new card , and the address on the back . From 2005 , Queensland licences have been called a `` Driver Licence '' ( as opposed to the traditional `` Driver 's Licence '' or the variant `` Driving Licence '' ) , and no longer carry information about the holder 's organ donor status . The Australian Organ Donor Register is now used for national registration of tissue donation status . Elderly drivers are required to have their licences renewed more often and are required to have compulsory eye tests , which does not include colour vision . For more information on driver 's licences in Queensland , see Department of Transport and Main Roads and click on Licensing . Work Licence A Queensland Driver charged with a drink driving offence may apply for a work licence that if granted by a Magistrates Court would entitle the driver to drive for work purposes whilst their licence is suspended see ( 1 ) UD Class Licence Queensland had a special class UD licence which allows operation of heavy agricultural or purpose - built vehicles without an MC or HC licence . No new licences of this type will be issued after 1 January 2014 , but existing licences remain valid .

P1 drivers have a peer passenger restriction which sees P1 drivers only able to carry no more than one passenger aged between 16 -- 21 years old ( excluding family members ; exemptions may also be allowed by VicRoads for other reasons ) at any time . They must not use any form of mobile phone including hands - free . On 1 July 2008 , what is considered a high power vehicle was redefined . P plate drivers were no longer allowed to drive cars with engines larger than a V6 , cars that have a turbo or supercharger ( unless it is a diesel ) . A shortlist was produced of cars that comply with these restrictions but are still considered powerful and therefore banned . The list includes BMW M3 and Porsche 911 . There have been many complaints about this system as several slower cars have been banned , such as the Peugeot 308 , but faster cars such as VW Golf R32 and BMW 130i were still permitted . On 1 July 2014 , the rules were again modified , to distinguish between vehicles manufactured before 1 January 2010 , and those manufactured after . Probationary drivers are now permitted to drive any vehicle manufactured after 1 January 2010 that does not have a power - to - mass ratio of greater than 130 kilowatts per tonne , and does not have a modified engine for increased performance . Vehicles manufactured before 1 January 2010 remain subject to previous restrictions , which include a restriction on engines larger than a V6 , and cars that have a turbocharger or supercharger . After 1 July 2008 , those aged over 21 years when applying for a licence qualify as P2 drivers after passing the computerised Hazard Perception Test and a practical driving test , as well as an eyesight test . P2 ( Green ) Probationary Licence The P2 Probationary Driver Licence came into effect from 1 July 2008 . For probationary drivers obtaining a P1 Probationary Licence after that date , their licence status will progress to a P2 Licence automatically provided they have had a good driving record for at least 12 months while holding the P1 Licence . The same P1 restrictions apply , except P2 drivers may tow trailers . As of 25 November 2013 , P2 drivers must not use a mobile phone while driving , including hands - free phones . The peer passenger restriction does not apply to P2 drivers . They must display the white - on - green ' P - plates ' , rather than the red . If a person is over 21 when licensed they go straight onto the P2 licence for three years . P2 licences last for 3 years , making the minimum age of receiving a full licence 22 years , up from 21 years for drivers who obtained their Probationary Licence before 1 July 2008 . The minimum age for obtaining a P2 Licence is 19 years . All drivers who obtained their Probationary Licence before 1 July 2008 qualify as P2 drivers and must display the green ' P ' plates . Driver Licence A full Driver Licence is obtained after the probationary period . For drivers who obtained their Probationary Driver Licence after 1 July 2008 , the minimum age at which they can obtain their full Driver Licence is 22 , unless they already have an Interstate or New Zealand Probationary licence , and move to Victoria , in which case they can be 21 . This is an irregularity that can allow Interstate and New Zealand drivers to obtain their full licence one year ahead of residential Victorians . There are few restrictions on fully licensed drivers , other than not being able to drive while holding a mobile phone , and the requirement to have a BAC under 0.05 % . Full licences are valid for ten years , but can be made available for three years if requested . Full driver licences may incur a maximum of 12 demerit points in any 3 year period . More information on driver 's licences in Victoria , is found at the Arrive Alive website . Western Australia ( edit ) Driver 's licences in Western Australia are administered by the Department of Transport . The driving age in Western Australia is 17 years . A learner can drive at the age of 16 under the supervision of a fully licensed driver . After obtaining a licence , a driver continues to be subject to restrictions during a 2 - year probationary period . Phase 1 learner 's permit A Phase 1 Learner 's Permit to drive a car in Western Australia can be gained by anyone aged 16 or over after successfully passing a computer - based driving theory test and an eyesight test . Drivers with Learner 's Permits may only drive whilst accompanied by either a qualified driving instructor or a person who has held a valid licence of the same type as the permit for 4 years . Learner drivers must display black - on - yellow `` L '' plates , and must not drive with a Blood alcohol content exceeding 0.00 % . Learner 's Permits expire after three years . After a recent bill passed through parliament , Phase 1 drivers are now permitted to drive on Perth freeways as well as other roads outside the boundaries of Kings Park . Phase 2 learner 's permit A Phase 2 Learner 's Permit is awarded to those Phase 1 Learners who pass a practical driving test accompanied by an examiner employed by the government . Only those aged 16 years and 6 months or older are permitted to undergo the practical assessment . Successful drivers are presented with a log book , in which they must record subsequent driving experience and conditions . If the test is passed in an automatic transmission vehicle , the driver will be given a `` C-A '' licence class and is restricted to driving automatic vehicles . To receive a `` C '' licence , the test must be passed in a manual vehicle , the driver can then drive either transmission . Phase 2 Learner drivers are permitted to drive on Perth freeways , however they must still be accompanied by an experienced driver whenever they drive and the other restrictions continue to apply , the driver also has a 6 - month mandatory waiting period before they can sit the hazard perception test to get their provisional licence . Provisional licence A Provisional Licence is awarded when learner drivers aged 17 years or over complete 25 hours of driving experience ( and 6 months have elapsed from obtaining their Phase 2 Learner 's Permit ) in their log book and pass a computerised `` Hazard perception test '' . Drivers with provisional licences must display white - on - red ' P ' plates whenever they drive within the first 6 months , can drive unaccompanied and but can not drive with a blood alcohol content over 0.00 % . They are not allowed to drive between 12 am -- 5 am unless driving to and from place of work or study . For last 18 months , provisionally licensed drivers must display white - on - green ' P ' plates and can not drive with a blood alcohol content over 0.00 % . Graduated demerit points ( edit ) As of 1 December 2010 , the Western Australian Government introduced a new Graduated Demerit Point system for Novice Drivers ( which includes L - and P - plate drivers ) . Under this system , a driver may accrue less than 4 demerit points within the first year of their provisional licence , and less than 8 points within the second year , before losing their licence . These limits include demerit points accrued before these 1 - and 2 - year periods . Full driver 's licence ( edit ) The provisional licence automatically converts into a full driver 's licence after the 2 - year probationary period . Drivers with full driver 's licences must drive with a blood alcohol content less than 0.05 % , may accrue less than 12 demerit points before being disqualified , and may drive at up to 110 km / h ( the maximum speed limit in the state ) . ' P ' plate drivers may also drive up to 110 km / h , where permitted by the state . WA has two classes of drivers licence : C which enables one to drive any vehicle weighing less than 4.5 tonnes C-A which enables one to drive any vehicle fitted with an automatic transmission and weighing less than 4.5 tonnes . Refer Double or nothing ( edit ) Drivers who have accrued 12 or more demerit points can choose to continue driving on a 12 - month Good Behaviour Period . If more than two demerit points are accrued during the 12 - month period ( even on different fines ) , the licence is lost for twice the original disqualification period ; usually 6 months ( 3 months x 2 ) . Identification ( edit ) See also : Identity documents of Australia In Australia , where there is no national identity card in operation , driver 's licences serve as a common means of photo identification . Photo cards are also available , especially for non-drivers . These may be used for entry to venues which have age restrictions , such as alcohol selling premises . Licences and photo cards are hologrammed , and contain a photograph , signature , the holder 's address , and date of birth . Electronic online identification can be ( partly ) established using a drivers licence for online applications for some services such as SIM card activation , and opening bank accounts . The Australian Attorney - General 's Department provides a document verification service that allows for validation of some licences . Many issuing authorities such as NSW allow for an online check of the validity of a drivers licence . Overseas licences ( edit ) Visitors from other countries are conditionally permitted to drive with their overseas drivers licence for a period of time . Conditions vary for every state and territory . Generally , drivers must carry their overseas licence with them . A certified translation or International Driving Permit is only required if the licence is not in English , and the original licence must be carried regardless . Once a driver becomes a permanent resident a local licence should be obtained generally within three months . Interstate travel ( edit ) Interstate visitors are permitted to travel on their current Australian or New Zealand licence . They must obey the local road rules of that state . The differences in state laws have generated much confusion to visiting drivers , with many pushing for uniform federal road rules . Drivers who move interstate must apply for a new driver 's licence within three months of moving . Unless a driving test is required , there is no charge for a conversion from a current interstate licence . Usually , licences are converted in the same day , to the same or equivalent class , or , in the case of the conversion of a non-GLS licence to a GLS system , a P1 or P2 licence is issued , depending on the length of time that the holder of the licence has been driving . The licence may need to be confirmed by obtaining a letter from the interstate licence issuing authority ( on their letterhead ) confirming the licence details ( including first issue date ) and status . Drivers moving states may be eligible to upgrade their licence class , due to the varying age rules that apply in each state . For example , a Victorian learner driver who moves to NSW may be eligible to sit the driving test to obtain a P1 licence . However , drivers who are under 18 will not be able to obtain the same licence class in Victoria , where one must be at least 18 to do so . Another example is a Victorian over 25 moving to Tasmania , SA , QLD or WA will be able to obtain a full licence after having held their Ps for 12 months in Victoria despite the fact that the probationary period for over-21 - year - olds in Victoria is 3 years . If a driver is about to lose their licence in their home state , they may obtain a new licence in another state of Australia , provided that the demerit points have not already been added and the fine has not yet been paid , or in the case of immediate licence disqualification , the actual disqualification period has not yet commenced ( prior 28 days after offence ) . Interstate commercial driving jobs ( edit ) Most states do not allow a person to have an interstate commercial driving job if the person does not `` reside '' in that state . For example , a person with a Queensland Driver 's Licence and Driver 's Authority ( a variation of the wording Driver 's Accreditation ) can not obtain a commercial driving job in South Australia unless that person registers a `` residential '' address in South Australia , even though they may not live there , and swap over the Driver 's Licence and obtain a new Driver 's Accreditation .

[ "The minimum driving age in New South Wales is 16 years.[6] The government introduced the Graduated Licensing Scheme in 2000 and therefore learners progress from a learner licence, to a provisional P1 licence, to a provisional P2 licence and finally to a full licence over an extended period of time.[6] After obtaining a licence, a driver continues to be subject to restrictions during a three-year probationary period.[citation needed]" ]

It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam . The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union , China and other communist allies and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States , South Korea , Australia , Thailand and other anti-communist allies . The war is therefore considered a Cold War - era proxy war . The majority of Americans believe the war was unjustified . The Viet Cong ( also known as the National Liberation Front , or NLF ) , a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North , fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region , while the People 's Army of Vietnam , also known as the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) , engaged in more conventional warfare , at times committing large units to battle . As the war continued , the military actions of the Viet Cong decreased as the role and engagement of the NVA grew . U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations , involving ground forces , artillery , and airstrikes . In the course of the war , the U.S. conducted a large - scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam . The North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong were fighting to reunify Vietnam . They viewed the conflict as a colonial war and a continuation of the First Indochina War against forces from France and later on the United States . The U.S. government viewed its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam . This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy , with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism . Beginning in 1950 , American military advisors arrived in what was then French Indochina . Most of the funding for the French war effort was provided by the U.S. U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s , with troop levels tripling in 1961 and again in 1962 . U.S. involvement escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident , in which a U.S. destroyer clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft , which was followed by the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution , which gave the U.S. president authorization to increase U.S. military presence . Regular U.S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965 . Operations crossed international borders : bordering areas of Laos and Cambodia were used by North Vietnam as supply routes and were heavily bombed by U.S. forces as American involvement in the war peaked in 1968 , the same year that the communist side launched the Tet Offensive . The Tet Offensive failed in its goal of overthrowing the South Vietnamese government , but became the turning point in the war , as it persuaded a large segment of the U.S. population that its government 's claims of progress toward winning the war were illusory despite many years of massive U.S. military aid to South Vietnam . Gradual withdrawal of U.S. ground forces began as part of `` Vietnamization '' , which aimed to end American involvement in the war while transferring the task of fighting the communists to the South Vietnamese themselves . Despite the Paris Peace Accord , which was signed by all parties in January 1973 , the fighting continued . In the U.S. and the Western world , a large anti-Vietnam War movement developed as part of a larger counterculture . The war changed the dynamics between the Eastern and Western Blocs , and altered North -- South relations . Direct U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973 . The capture of Saigon by the North Vietnamese Army in April 1975 marked the end of the war , and North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year . The war exacted a huge human cost in terms of fatalities ( see Vietnam War casualties ) . Estimates of the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from 966,000 to 3.1 million . Some 240,000 -- 300,000 Cambodians , 20,000 -- 62,000 Laotians , and 58,220 U.S. service members also died in the conflict , and a further 1,626 remain missing in action .

Vietnam War is the most commonly used name in English . It has also been called the Second Indochina War and the Vietnam Conflict . As there have been several conflicts in Indochina , this particular conflict is known by the names of its primary protagonists to distinguish it from others . In Vietnamese , the war is generally known as Kháng chiến chống Mỹ ( Resistance War Against America ) , but less formally as ' Cuộc chiến tranh Mỹ ' ( The American War ' ) . It is also called Chiến tranh Việt Nam ( The Vietnam War ) . The primary military organizations involved in the war were , on one side , the Army of the Republic of Vietnam ( ARVN ) and the U.S. military , and , on the other side , the People 's Army of Vietnam ( PAVN ) ( more commonly called the North Vietnamese Army , or NVA , in English - language sources ) , and the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam ( NLF , more commonly known as the Viet Cong in English language sources ) , a South Vietnamese communist guerrilla force .

When the Japanese invaded during World War II , the Viet Minh opposed them with support from the USA , Russia and China . They received some Japanese arms when Japan surrendered . The Viet Minh , a Communist - led common front under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh , then initiated an insurgency against French rule . Hostilities escalated into the First Indochina War ( beginning in December 1946 ) . By the 1950s , the conflict had become entwined with the Cold War . In January 1950 , the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet Union recognized the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam , based in Hanoi , as the legitimate government of Vietnam . The following month the United States and Great Britain recognized the French - backed State of Vietnam in Saigon , led by former Emperor Bảo Đại , as the legitimate Vietnamese government . The outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 convinced many Washington policymakers that the war in Indochina was an example of communist expansionism directed by the Soviet Union . French soldiers fight off a Viet Minh ambush in 1952 . Military advisors from the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) began assisting the Viet Minh in July 1950 . PRC weapons , expertise , and laborers transformed the Viet Minh from a guerrilla force into a regular army . In September 1950 , the United States created a Military Assistance and Advisory Group ( MAAG ) to screen French requests for aid , advise on strategy , and train Vietnamese soldiers . By 1954 , the United States had spent US $1 billion in support of the French military effort , shouldering 80 percent of the cost of the war . During the Battle of Dien Bien Phu U.S. carriers sailed to the Gulf of Tonkin and the U.S. conducted reconnaissance flights . There were also talks between the French and Americans in which the possible use of three tactical nuclear weapons was considered , though reports of how seriously this was considered and by whom are vague and contradictory . According to U.S. Vice-President Richard Nixon , the plan involved the Joint Chiefs of Staff drawing up plans to use three small tactical nuclear weapons in support of the French . Nixon , a so - called `` hawk '' on Vietnam , suggested that the United States might have to `` put American boys in '' . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower made American participation contingent on British support , but the British were opposed . Eisenhower decided against U.S. military intervention , being wary of getting the United States involved in a land war in Asia . Throughout the conflict , U.S. intelligence estimates remained skeptical of French chances of success . On 7 May 1954 , the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu surrendered . The defeat marked the end of French military involvement in Indochina . At the Geneva Conference , the French negotiated a ceasefire agreement with the Viet Minh , and independence was granted to Cambodia , Laos , and Vietnam . Transition period Main articles : Geneva Conference ( 1954 ) ; Operation Passage to Freedom ; Battle of Saigon ( 1955 ) ; Ba Cụt ; State of Vietnam referendum , 1955 ; Land reform in Vietnam ; and Land reform in North Vietnam The Geneva Conference , 1954 Vietnam was temporarily partitioned at the 17th parallel , and under the terms of the Geneva Accords , civilians were to be given the opportunity to move freely between the two provisional states for a 300 - day period . Elections throughout the country were to be held in 1956 to establish a unified government . Around one million northerners , mainly minority Catholics , fled south , fearing persecution by the communists . This followed an American psychological warfare campaign , designed by Edward Lansdale for the CIA , which exaggerated anti-Catholic sentiment among the Viet Minh and which falsely claimed the US was about to drop atomic bombs on Hanoi . The exodus was coordinated by a U.S. - funded $93 million relocation program , which included the use of the Seventh Fleet to ferry refugees . The northern , mainly Catholic refugees gave the later Ngô Đình Diệm regime a strong anti-communist constituency . Diệm staffed his government 's key posts mostly with northern and central Catholics . In addition to the Catholics flowing south , up to 130,000 `` Revolutionary Regroupees '' went to the north for `` regroupment '' , expecting to return to the south within two years . The Viet Minh left roughly 5,000 to 10,000 cadres in the south as a `` politico - military substructure within the object of its irredentism . '' The last French soldiers were to leave Vietnam in April 1956 . The PRC completed its withdrawal from North Vietnam at around the same time . Around 52,000 Vietnamese civilians moved from south to north . Between 1953 and 1956 , the North Vietnamese government instituted various agrarian reforms , including `` rent reduction '' and `` land reform '' , which resulted in significant political oppression . During the land reform , testimony from North Vietnamese witnesses suggested a ratio of one execution for every 160 village residents , which extrapolated nationwide would indicate nearly 100,000 executions . Because the campaign was concentrated mainly in the Red River Delta area , a lower estimate of 50,000 executions became widely accepted by scholars at the time . However , declassified documents from the Vietnamese and Hungarian archives indicate that the number of executions was much lower than reported at the time , although likely greater than 13,500 . In 1956 , leaders in Hanoi admitted to `` excesses '' in implementing this program and restored a large amount of the land to the original owners . The south , meanwhile , constituted the State of Vietnam , with Bảo Đại as Emperor and Ngô Đình Diệm ( appointed in July 1954 ) as his prime minister . Neither the United States government nor Ngô Đình Diệm 's State of Vietnam signed anything at the 1954 Geneva Conference . With respect to the question of reunification , the non-communist Vietnamese delegation objected strenuously to any division of Vietnam , but lost out when the French accepted the proposal of Viet Minh delegate Phạm Văn Đồng , who proposed that Vietnam eventually be united by elections under the supervision of `` local commissions '' . The United States countered with what became known as the `` American Plan '' , with the support of South Vietnam and the United Kingdom . It provided for unification elections under the supervision of the United Nations , but was rejected by the Soviet delegation . The United States said , `` With respect to the statement made by the representative of the State of Vietnam , the United States reiterates its traditional position that peoples are entitled to determine their own future and that it will not join in any arrangement which would hinder this '' . U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in 1954 , `` I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting , possibly eighty percent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader rather than Chief of State Bảo Đại . Indeed , the lack of leadership and drive on the part of Bảo Đại was a factor in the feeling prevalent among Vietnamese that they had nothing to fight for . '' According to the Pentagon Papers , however , from 1954 to 1956 `` Ngô Đình Diệm really did accomplish miracles '' in South Vietnam : `` It is almost certain that by 1956 the proportion which might have voted for Ho -- in a free election against Diệm -- would have been much smaller than eighty percent . '' In 1957 , independent observers from India , Poland , and Canada representing the International Control Commission ( ICC ) stated that fair , unbiased elections were not possible , with the ICC reporting that neither South nor North Vietnam had honored the armistice agreement From April to June 1955 , Diệm eliminated any political opposition in the south by launching military operations against two religious groups : the Cao Đài and Hòa Hảo of Ba Cụt . The campaign also focused on the Bình Xuyên organized crime group which was allied with members of the communist party secret police and had some military elements . As broad - based opposition to his harsh tactics mounted , Diệm increasingly sought to blame the communists . In a referendum on the future of the State of Vietnam on 23 October 1955 , Diệm rigged the poll supervised by his brother Ngô Đình Nhu and was credited with 98.2 percent of the vote , including 133 % in Saigon . His American advisors had recommended a more modest winning margin of `` 60 to 70 percent . '' Diệm , however , viewed the election as a test of authority . Three days later , he declared South Vietnam to be an independent state under the name Republic of Vietnam ( ROV ) , with himself as president . Likewise , Ho Chi Minh and other communist officials always won at least 99 % of the vote in North Vietnamese `` elections '' . The domino theory , which argued that if one country fell to communism , then all of the surrounding countries would follow , was first proposed as policy by the Eisenhower administration . John F. Kennedy , then a U.S. Senator , said in a speech to the American Friends of Vietnam : `` Burma , Thailand , India , Japan , the Philippines and obviously Laos and Cambodia are among those whose security would be threatened if the Red Tide of Communism overflowed into Vietnam . '' Diệm era , 1955 -- 63 Main articles : Ngô Đình Diệm and War in Vietnam ( 1954 -- 59 ) U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles greet President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam in Washington , 8 May 1957 . Rule See also : Ngô Đình Diệm presidential visit to Australia A devout Roman Catholic , Diệm was fervently anti-communist , nationalist , and socially conservative . Historian Luu Doan Huynh notes that `` Diệm represented narrow and extremist nationalism coupled with autocracy and nepotism . '' The majority of Vietnamese people were Buddhist , and were alarmed by actions such as Diệm 's dedication of the country to the Virgin Mary . Beginning in the summer of 1955 , Diệm launched the `` Denounce the Communists '' campaign , during which communists and other anti-government elements were arrested , imprisoned , tortured , or executed . He instituted the death penalty against any activity deemed communist in August 1956 . According to Gabriel Kolko about 12,000 suspected opponents of Diệm were killed between 1955 and 1957 and by the end of 1958 an estimated 40,000 political prisoners had been jailed . In May 1957 , Diệm undertook a ten - day state visit to the United States . President Eisenhower pledged his continued support , and a parade was held in Diệm 's honor in New York City . Although Diệm was publicly praised , in private Secretary of State John Foster Dulles conceded that Diệm had been selected because there were no better alternatives . Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara wrote in Argument Without End ( 1999 ) that the new American patrons of the Republic of Vietnam ( ROV ) were almost completely ignorant of Vietnamese culture . They knew little of the language or long history of the country . There was a tendency to assign American motives to Vietnamese actions , though Diệm warned that it was an illusion to believe that blindly copying Western methods would solve Vietnamese problems . Insurgency in the South , 1954 -- 60 Main articles : Viet Cong and War in Vietnam ( 1959 -- 63 ) The Ho Chi Minh trail was used to supply the Viet Cong . Between 1954 and 1957 there was large - scale but disorganized dissidence in the countryside which the Diệm government succeeded in quelling . In early 1957 South Vietnam enjoyed its first peace in over a decade . Incidents of political violence began to occur in mid-1957 , but the government `` did not construe it as a campaign , considering the disorders too diffuse to warrant committing major GVN ( Government of Vietnam ) resources . '' By early 1959 , however , Diệm had come to regard the ( increasingly frequent ) disorders as an organized campaign and implemented Law 10 / 59 , which made political violence punishable by death and property confiscation . There had been some division among former Viet Minh whose main goal was to hold the elections promised in the Geneva Accords , leading to `` wildcat '' activities separate from the other communists and anti-GVN activists . In December 1960 , the National Liberation Front ( NLF , a.k.a. the Viet Cong ) was formally created with the intent of uniting all anti-GVN activists , including non-communists . According to the Pentagon Papers , the Viet Cong `` placed heavy emphasis on the withdrawal of American advisors and influence , on land reform and liberalization of the GVN , on coalition government and the neutralization of Vietnam . '' Often the leaders of the organization were kept secret . Support for the NLF was driven by peasant resentment of Diem 's reversal of land reforms in the countryside . The vast majority of the population lived in villages in the countryside , where a key demand was for land reform . In areas they controlled , the Viet Minh had confiscated large private landholdings , reduced rents and debts , and leased communal lands , mostly to the poorer peasants . Diem brought the landlords back to the villages . People who were farming land they had held for years now had to return it to landlords and pay years of back rent . This rent collection was enforced by the South Vietnamese army . The divisions within villages reproduced those that had existed against the French : `` 75 percent support for the NLF , 20 percent trying to remain neutral and 5 percent firmly pro-government , '' North Vietnamese involvement See also : North Vietnamese invasion of Laos Sources disagree on whether North Vietnam played a direct role in aiding and organizing South Vietnamese rebels prior to 1960 . Kahin and Lewis assert : Contrary to United States policy assumptions , all available evidence shows that the revival of the civil war in the South in 1958 was undertaken by Southerners at their own -- not Hanoi 's -- initiative ... Insurgency activity against the Saigon government began in the South under Southern leadership not as a consequence of any dictate from Hanoi , but contrary to Hanoi 's injunctions . Similarly , historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. states that `` it was not until September , 1960 that the Communist Party of North Vietnam bestowed its formal blessing and called for the liberation of the south from American imperialism '' . By contrast , James Olson and Randy Roberts assert that North Vietnam authorized a low - level insurgency in December 1956 . To counter the accusation that North Vietnam was violating the Geneva Accord , the independence of the Viet Cong was stressed in communist propaganda . In March 1956 , southern communist leader Lê Duẩn presented a plan to revive the insurgency entitled `` The Road to the South '' to the other members of the Politburo in Hanoi , but as both China and the Soviets opposed confrontation at this time , Lê Duẩn 's plan was rejected . However the North Vietnamese leadership approved tentative measures to revive the southern insurgency in December 1956 . Communist forces were under a single command structure set up in 1958 . The North Vietnamese Communist Party approved a `` people 's war '' on the South at a session in January 1959 and in May , Group 559 was established to maintain and upgrade the Ho Chi Minh trail , at this time a six - month mountain trek through Laos . About 500 of the `` regroupees '' of 1954 were sent south on the trail during its first year of operation . The first arms delivery via the trail was completed in August 1959 . About 40,000 communist soldiers infiltrated into the south from 1961 -- 63 . Kennedy 's escalation , 1961 -- 63 Main articles : Strategic Hamlet Program and Phạm Ngọc Thảo In the 1960 U.S. presidential election , Senator John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon . Although Eisenhower warned Kennedy about Laos and Vietnam , Europe and Latin America `` loomed larger than Asia on his sights . '' In his inaugural address , Kennedy made the ambitious pledge to `` pay any price , bear any burden , meet any hardship , support any friend , oppose any foe , in order to assure the survival and success of liberty . '' In June 1961 , he bitterly disagreed with Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev when they met in Vienna to discuss key U.S. -- Soviet issues . Only 16 months later , the Cuban Missile Crisis ( 16 -- 28 October 1962 ) played out on television worldwide . It was the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full - scale nuclear war , and the U.S. raised the readiness level of Strategic Air Command ( SAC ) forces to DEFCON 2 . President 's news conference of 23 March 1961 The Kennedy administration remained essentially committed to the Cold War foreign policy inherited from the Truman and Eisenhower administrations . In 1961 , the U.S. had 50,000 troops based in South Korea , and Kennedy faced a three - part crisis -- the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion , the construction of the Berlin Wall , and a negotiated settlement between the pro-Western government of Laos and the Pathet Lao communist movement . These crises made Kennedy believe that another failure on the part of the United States to gain control and stop communist expansion would fatally damage U.S. credibility with its allies and his own reputation . Kennedy was thus determined to `` draw a line in the sand '' and prevent a communist victory in Vietnam . He told James Reston of The New York Times immediately after his Vienna meeting with Khrushchev , `` Now we have a problem making our power credible and Vietnam looks like the place . '' Kennedy 's policy toward South Vietnam rested on the assumption that Diệm and his forces had to ultimately defeat the guerrillas on their own . He was against the deployment of American combat troops and observed that `` to introduce U.S. forces in large numbers there today , while it might have an initially favorable military impact , would almost certainly lead to adverse political and , in the long run , adverse military consequences . '' The quality of the South Vietnamese military , however , remained poor . Poor leadership , corruption , and political promotions all played a part in weakening the South Vietnamese Army ( ARVN ) . The frequency of guerrilla attacks rose as the insurgency gathered steam . While Hanoi 's support for the Viet Cong played a role , South Vietnamese governmental incompetence was at the core of the crisis . South Vietnam , Military Regions , 1967 One major issue Kennedy raised was whether the Soviet space and missile programs had surpassed those of the United States . Although Kennedy stressed long - range missile parity with the Soviets , he was also interested in using special forces for counterinsurgency warfare in Third World countries threatened by communist insurgencies . Although they were originally intended for use behind front lines after a conventional Soviet invasion of Europe , Kennedy believed that the guerrilla tactics employed by special forces such as the Green Berets would be effective in a `` brush fire '' war in Vietnam . Kennedy advisors Maxwell Taylor and Walt Rostow recommended that U.S. troops be sent to South Vietnam disguised as flood relief workers . Kennedy rejected the idea but increased military assistance yet again . In April 1962 , John Kenneth Galbraith warned Kennedy of the `` danger we shall replace the French as a colonial force in the area and bleed as the French did . '' By November 1963 , there were 16,000 American military personnel in South Vietnam , up from Eisenhower 's 900 advisors . The Strategic Hamlet Program was initiated in late 1961 . This joint U.S. -- South Vietnamese program attempted to resettle the rural population into fortified camps . It was implemented in early 1962 and involved some forced relocation , village internment , and segregation of rural South Vietnamese into new communities where the peasantry would be isolated from Communist insurgents . It was hoped these new communities would provide security for the peasants and strengthen the tie between them and the central government . However , by November 1963 the program had waned , and it officially ended in 1964 . On 23 July 1962 , fourteen nations , including China , South Vietnam , the Soviet Union , North Vietnam and the United States , signed an agreement promising to respect the neutrality of Laos . Ousting and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm See also : Role of the United States in the Vietnam War § John F. Kennedy ( 1961 -- 1963 ) , 1960 South Vietnamese coup attempt , 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing , Huế Phật Đản shootings , and Xá Lợi Pagoda raids Main articles : Cable 243 , Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm , Buddhist crisis , Krulak Mendenhall mission , McNamara Taylor mission , 1963 South Vietnamese coup , and Reaction to the 1963 South Vietnamese coup The inept performance of the South Vietnamese army was exemplified by failed actions such as the Battle of Ap Bac on 2 January 1963 , in which a small band of Viet Cong won a battle against a much larger and better - equipped South Vietnamese force , many of whose officers seemed reluctant even to engage in combat . The Army of the Republic of Vietnam forces were led in that battle by Diệm 's most trusted general , Huỳnh Văn Cao , commander of the IV Corps . Cao was a Catholic who had been promoted due to religion and fidelity rather than skill , and his main job was to preserve his forces to stave off coups ; he had earlier vomited during a communist attack . Some policymakers in Washington began to conclude that Diệm was incapable of defeating the communists and might even make a deal with Ho Chi Minh . He seemed concerned only with fending off coups , and had become more paranoid after attempts in 1960 and 1962 , which he partly attributed to U.S. encouragement . As Robert F. Kennedy noted , `` Diệm would n't make even the slightest concessions . He was difficult to reason with ... '' As historian James Gibson summed up the situation : Strategic hamlets had failed ... The South Vietnamese regime was incapable of winning the peasantry because of its class base among landlords . Indeed , there was no longer a ' regime ' in the sense of a relatively stable political alliance and functioning bureaucracy . Instead , civil government and military operations had virtually ceased . The National Liberation Front had made great progress and was close to declaring provisional revolutionary governments in large areas . A US tank convoy during the Vietnam War Discontent with Diệm 's policies exploded following the Huế Phật Đản shootings of nine majority Buddhists who were protesting against the ban on the Buddhist flag on Vesak , the Buddha 's birthday . This resulted in mass protests against discriminatory policies that gave privileges to the Catholic Church and its adherents . Diệm 's elder brother Ngô Đình Thục was the Archbishop of Huế and aggressively blurred the separation between church and state . Thuc 's anniversary celebrations shortly before Vesak had been bankrolled by the government , and Vatican flags were displayed prominently . There had also been reports of Buddhist pagodas being demolished by Catholic paramilitaries throughout Diệm 's rule . Diệm refused to make concessions to the Buddhist majority or take responsibility for the deaths . On 21 August 1963 , the ARVN Special Forces of Colonel Lê Quang Tung , loyal to Diệm 's younger brother Ngô Đình Nhu , raided pagodas across Vietnam , causing widespread damage and destruction and leaving a death toll estimated to range into the hundreds . Kennedy and McNamara Ngô Đình Diệm after being shot and killed in the 1963 coup U.S. officials began discussing the possibility of a regime change during the middle of 1963 . The United States Department of State was generally in favor of encouraging a coup , while the Defense Department favored Diệm . Chief among the proposed changes was the removal of Diệm 's younger brother Nhu , who controlled the secret police and special forces and was seen as the man behind the Buddhist repression and more generally the architect of the Ngô family 's rule . This proposal was conveyed to the U.S. embassy in Saigon in Cable 243 . The Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) was in contact with generals planning to remove Diệm . They were told that the United States would not oppose such a move nor punish the generals by cutting off aid . President Diệm was overthrown and executed , along with his brother , on 2 November 1963 . When Kennedy was informed , Maxwell Taylor remembered that he `` rushed from the room with a look of shock and dismay on his face . '' He had not anticipated Diệm 's murder . The U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam , Henry Cabot Lodge , invited the coup leaders to the embassy and congratulated them . Ambassador Lodge informed Kennedy that `` the prospects now are for a shorter war '' . Kennedy wrote Lodge a letter congratulating him for `` a fine job '' . Following the coup , chaos ensued . Hanoi took advantage of the situation and increased its support for the guerrillas . South Vietnam entered a period of extreme political instability , as one military government toppled another in quick succession . Increasingly , each new regime was viewed by the communists as a puppet of the Americans ; whatever the failings of Diệm , his credentials as a nationalist ( as Robert McNamara later reflected ) had been impeccable . U.S. military advisors were embedded at every level of the South Vietnamese armed forces . They were however criticized for ignoring the political nature of the insurgency . The Kennedy administration sought to refocus U.S. efforts on pacification and `` winning over the hearts and minds '' of the population . The military leadership in Washington , however , was hostile to any role for U.S. advisors other than conventional troop training . General Paul Harkins , the commander of U.S. forces in South Vietnam , confidently predicted victory by Christmas 1963 . The CIA was less optimistic , however , warning that `` the Viet Cong by and large retain de facto control of much of the countryside and have steadily increased the overall intensity of the effort '' . Paramilitary officers from the CIA 's Special Activities Division trained and led Hmong tribesmen in Laos and into Vietnam . The indigenous forces numbered in the tens of thousands and they conducted direct action missions , led by paramilitary officers , against the Communist Pathet Lao forces and their North Vietnamese supporters . The CIA also ran the Phoenix Program and participated in Military Assistance Command , Vietnam -- Studies and Observations Group ( MAC - V SOG ) , which was originally named the Special Operations Group , but was changed for cover purposes .

Johnson took over the presidency after the death of Kennedy , he had not been heavily involved with policy toward Vietnam . Upon becoming president , however , Johnson immediately focused on the war : on 24 November 1963 , he said , `` the battle against communism ... must be joined ... with strength and determination . '' However , Johnson knew that he had inherited a rapidly deteriorating situation in South Vietnam , believing in the widely accepted arguments that were used for defending the South : Should they retreat or appease , either action would imperil other nations beyond the conflict . The military revolutionary council , meeting in lieu of a strong South Vietnamese leader , was made up of 12 members headed by General Dương Văn Minh -- whom Stanley Karnow , a journalist on the ground , later recalled as `` a model of lethargy '' . Lodge , frustrated by the end of the year , cabled home about Minh : `` Will he be strong enough to get on top of things ? '' His regime was overthrown in January 1964 by General Nguyễn Khánh . However , there was persistent instability in the military as several coups -- not all successful -- occurred in a short period of time . Gulf of Tonkin incident Main articles : Gulf of Tonkin incident and Credibility gap An alleged Viet Cong activist , captured during an attack on an American outpost near the Cambodian border , is interrogated . On 2 August 1964 , the USS Maddox , on an intelligence mission along North Vietnam 's coast , allegedly fired upon and damaged several torpedo boats that had been stalking it in the Gulf of Tonkin . A second attack was reported two days later on the USS Turner Joy and Maddox in the same area . The circumstances of the attack were murky . Lyndon Johnson commented to Undersecretary of State George Ball that `` those sailors out there may have been shooting at flying fish . '' An undated NSA publication declassified in 2005 revealed that there was no attack on 4 August . The second `` attack '' led to retaliatory air strikes , and prompted Congress to approve the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution on 7 August 1964 , Although most Congressmen at the time denied that this was a full - scale war declaration , the Tonkin Resolution granted the president unilateral power to launch any military actions he deemed necessary . In the same month , Johnson pledged that he was not `` committing American boys to fighting a war that I think ought to be fought by the boys of Asia to help protect their own land '' . `` From a strength of approximately 5,000 at the start of 1959 the Viet Cong 's ranks grew to about 100,000 at the end of 1964 ... Between 1961 and 1964 the Army 's strength rose from about 850,000 to nearly a million men . '' The numbers for U.S. troops deployed to Vietnam during the same period were quite different ; 2,000 in 1961 , rising rapidly to 16,500 in 1964 . A Marine from 1st Battalion , 3rd Marines , moves an alleged Viet Cong activist to the rear during a search and clear operation held by the battalion 15 miles ( 24 km ) west of Da Nang Air Base . The National Security Council recommended a three - stage escalation of the bombing of North Vietnam . On 7 February 1965 following an attack on a U.S. Army base in Pleiku , Operation Flaming Dart ( initiated when Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin was on a state visit to North Vietnam ) , Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Arc Light commenced . The bombing campaign , which ultimately lasted three years , was intended to force North Vietnam to cease its support for the Viet Cong by threatening to destroy North Vietnam 's air defenses and industrial infrastructure . As well , it was aimed at bolstering the morale of the South Vietnamese . Between March 1965 and November 1968 , `` Rolling Thunder '' deluged the north with a million tons of missiles , rockets and bombs . Bombing of Laos Main article : Laotian Civil War Bombing was not restricted to North Vietnam . Other aerial campaigns , such as Operation Barrel Roll , targeted different parts of the Viet Cong and NVA infrastructure . These included the Ho Chi Minh trail supply route , which ran through Laos and Cambodia . The ostensibly neutral Laos had become the scene of a civil war , pitting the Laotian government backed by the US against the Pathet Lao and its North Vietnamese allies . Massive aerial bombardment against the Pathet Lao and People 's Army of Vietnam forces were carried out by the US to prevent the collapse of the Royal central government , and to deny the use of the Ho Chi Minh Trail . Between 1964 and 1973 , the U.S. dropped two million tons of bombs on Laos , nearly equal to the 2.1 million tons of bombs the U.S. dropped on Europe and Asia during all of World War II , making Laos the most heavily bombed country in history relative to the size of its population . The objective of stopping North Vietnam and the Viet Cong was never reached . The Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force Curtis LeMay , however , had long advocated saturation bombing in Vietnam and wrote of the communists that `` we 're going to bomb them back into the Stone Age '' . American ground War Play media Universal Newsreel film about an attack on U.S. air bases and the U.S. response , 1965 Peasants suspected of being Viet Cong under detention of U.S. Army , 1966 Start of Tet Offensive as seen looking north from LZ Betty 's water tower , just south of Quang Tri City Heavily bandaged woman with a tag attached to her arm which reads `` VNC Female '' meaning Vietnamese civilian After several attacks upon them , it was decided that U.S. Air Force bases needed more protection as the South Vietnamese military seemed incapable of providing security . On 8 March 1965 , 3,500 U.S. Marines were dispatched to South Vietnam . This marked the beginning of the American ground war . U.S. public opinion overwhelmingly supported the deployment . In a statement similar to that made to the French almost two decades earlier , Ho Chi Minh warned that if the Americans `` want to make war for twenty years then we shall make war for twenty years . If they want to make peace , we shall make peace and invite them to afternoon tea . '' Some have argued that the policy of North Vietnam was not to topple other non-communist governments in South East Asia . The Marines ' initial assignment was defensive . The first deployment of 3,500 in March 1965 was increased to nearly 200,000 by December . The U.S. military had long been schooled in offensive warfare . Regardless of political policies , U.S. commanders were institutionally and psychologically unsuited to a defensive mission . In December 1964 , ARVN forces had suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Bình Giã , in a battle that both sides viewed as a watershed . Previously , communist forces had utilized hit - and - run guerrilla tactics . However , at Binh Gia , they had defeated a strong ARVN force in a conventional battle . Tellingly , South Vietnamese forces were again defeated in June 1965 at the Battle of Đồng Xoài . U.S. soldiers searching a village for Viet Cong Desertion rates were increasing , and morale plummeted . General William Westmoreland informed Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Jr. , commander of U.S. Pacific forces , that the situation was critical . He said , `` I am convinced that U.S. troops with their energy , mobility , and firepower can successfully take the fight to the NLF ( National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam a.k.a. the Viet Cong ) '' . With this recommendation , Westmoreland was advocating an aggressive departure from America 's defensive posture and the sidelining of the South Vietnamese . By ignoring ARVN units , the U.S. commitment became open - ended . Westmoreland outlined a three - point plan to win the war : Phase 1 . Commitment of U.S. ( and other free world ) forces necessary to halt the losing trend by the end of 1965 . Phase 2 . U.S. and allied forces mount major offensive actions to seize the initiative to destroy guerrilla and organized enemy forces . This phase would end when the enemy had been worn down , thrown on the defensive , and driven back from major populated areas . Phase 3 . If the enemy persisted , a period of twelve to eighteen months following Phase 2 would be required for the final destruction of enemy forces remaining in remote base areas . The plan was approved by Johnson and marked a profound departure from the previous administration 's insistence that the government of South Vietnam was responsible for defeating the guerrillas . Westmoreland predicted victory by the end of 1967 . Johnson did not , however , communicate this change in strategy to the media . Instead he emphasized continuity . The change in U.S. policy depended on matching the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong in a contest of attrition and morale . The opponents were locked in a cycle of escalation . The idea that the government of South Vietnam could manage its own affairs was shelved . Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin with U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson at the Glassboro Summit Conference where the two representatives discussed the possibilities of a peace settlement The one - year tour of duty of American soldiers deprived units of experienced leadership . As one observer noted `` we were not in Vietnam for 10 years , but for one year 10 times . '' As a result , training programs were shortened . South Vietnam was inundated with manufactured goods . As Stanley Karnow writes , `` the main PX ( Post Exchange ) , located in the Saigon suburb of Cholon , was only slightly smaller than the New York Bloomingdale 's ... '' The American buildup transformed the economy and had a profound effect on South Vietnamese society . A huge surge in corruption was witnessed . Washington encouraged its SEATO allies to contribute troops . Australia , New Zealand , South Korea , Thailand , and the Philippines all agreed to send troops . Major allies , however , notably NATO nations Canada and the United Kingdom , declined Washington 's troop requests . The U.S. and its allies mounted complex operations , such as operations Masher , Attleboro , Cedar Falls , and Junction City . However , the communist insurgents remained elusive and demonstrated great tactical flexibility . Meanwhile , the political situation in South Vietnam began to stabilize with the coming to power of prime minister Air Marshal Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and figurehead Chief of State , General Nguyễn Văn Thiệu , in mid-1965 at the head of a military junta . This ended a series of coups that had happened more than once a year . In 1967 , Thieu became president with Ky as his deputy , after rigged elections . Although they were nominally a civilian government , Ky was supposed to maintain real power through a behind - the - scenes military body . However , Thieu outmaneuvered and sidelined Ky by filling the ranks with generals from his faction . Thieu was also accused of murdering Ky loyalists through contrived military accidents . Thieu , mistrustful and indecisive , remained president until 1975 , having won a one - candidate election in 1971 . The Johnson administration employed a `` policy of minimum candor '' in its dealings with the media . Military information officers sought to manage media coverage by emphasizing stories that portrayed progress in the war . Over time , this policy damaged the public trust in official pronouncements . As the media 's coverage of the war and that of the Pentagon diverged , a so - called credibility gap developed . Tet offensive Main articles : Tet Offensive and United States news media and the Vietnam War A US `` tunnel rat '' soldier prepares to enter a Viet Cong tunnel . In late 1967 the Communists lured American forces into the hinterlands at Đắk Tô and at the Marine Khe Sanh combat base in Quảng Trị Province where the United States was more than willing to fight because it could unleash its massive firepower unimpeded by civilians . However , on 30 January 1968 , the NVA and the Viet Cong broke the truce that traditionally accompanied the Tết ( Lunar New Year ) holiday by launching the largest battle of the war , the Tet Offensive , in the hope of sparking a national uprising . Over 100 cities were attacked by over 85,000 enemy troops including assaults on General Westmoreland 's headquarters and the U.S. Embassy in Saigon . Although the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces were initially shocked by the scale of the urban offensive , they responded quickly and effectively , decimating the ranks of the Viet Cong . In the former capital city of Huế , the combined NVA and Viet Cong troops captured the Imperial Citadel and much of the city and held on in the fighting for 26 days . During that time , they executed approximately 2,800 unarmed Huế civilians , Americans and foreigners they considered to be enemies . In the following Battle of Huế American forces employed massive firepower that left 80 percent of the city in ruins . Further north , at Quảng Trị City , members of the 1st Cavalry Division and 1st ARVN Infantry Division killed more than 900 NVA and Vietcong troops in and around the city . In Saigon , 1,000 NLF ( Viet Cong ) fighters fought off 11,000 U.S. and ARVN troops for three weeks . U.S. Marines in Operation Allen Brook in 1968 Across South Vietnam , 1,100 Americans and other allied troops , 2,100 ARVN , 14,000 civilians , and 32,000 NVA and Viet Cong lay dead . But the Tet Offensive had another , unintended consequence . General Westmoreland had become the public face of the war . He had been named Time magazine 's 1965 's Man of the Year and eventually was featured on the magazine 's cover three times . Time described him as `` the sinewy personification of the American fighting man ... ( who ) directed the historic buildup , drew up the battle plans , and infused the ... men under him with his own idealistic view of U.S. aims and responsibilities . '' Six weeks after the Tet Offensive began , `` public approval of his overall performance dropped from 48 percent to 36 percent -- and , more dramatically , endorsement for his handling of the war fell from 40 percent to 26 percent . '' U.S. Marines fighting in Huế A few months earlier , in November 1967 , Westmoreland had spearheaded a public relations drive for the Johnson administration to bolster flagging public support . In a speech before the National Press Club he had said a point in the war had been reached `` where the end comes into view . '' Thus , the public was shocked and confused when Westmoreland 's predictions were trumped by Tet . The American media , which had until then been largely supportive of U.S. efforts , turned on the Johnson administration for what had become an increasing credibility gap . Despite the military failures for the Communist forces , Tet became a political victory for them and ended the career of president Lyndon B. Johnson , who declined to run for re-election as his approval rating slumped from 48 to 36 percent . As James Witz noted , Tet `` contradicted the claims of progress ... made by the Johnson administration and the military '' . The offensive constituted an intelligence failure on the scale of Pearl Harbor . According to Peter Arnett , an infantry commander said of Bến Tre ( laid to rubble by U.S. attacks ) that `` it became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it . '' Viet Cong / NVA killed by U.S. Air Force personnel during a perimeter attack of Tan Son Nhut Air Base during the Tet Offensive Westmoreland became Chief of Staff of the Army in March 1968 , just as all resistance was finally subdued . The move was technically a promotion . However , his position had become untenable because of the offensive and because his request for 200,000 additional troops had been leaked to the media . Westmoreland was succeeded by his deputy Creighton Abrams , a commander less inclined to public media pronouncements . On 10 May 1968 , despite low expectations , peace talks began between the United States and North Vietnam in Paris . Negotiations stagnated for five months , until Johnson gave orders to halt the bombing of North Vietnam . As historian Robert Dallek writes , `` Lyndon Johnson 's escalation of the war in Vietnam divided Americans into warring camps ... cost 30,000 American lives by the time he left office , ( and ) destroyed Johnson 's presidency ... '' His refusal to send more U.S. troops to Vietnam was seen as Johnson 's admission that the war was lost . In effect , Johnson found that the Vietnam War was no easier to prosecute than the Korean War , learning from experience that China was likely to intervene directly if Hanoi 's survival was threatened . Likewise , the Soviet Union would respond by providing more supplies and equipment to raise the cost for U.S. involvement , weakening their defenses in Europe and in the worse case trigger a nuclear confrontation . It can be seen that the refusal was a tacit admission that the war could not be won by escalation , at least not at a cost acceptable to the American people . As Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara noted , `` the dangerous illusion of victory by the United States was therefore dead . '' Vietnam was a major political issue during the United States presidential election in 1968 . The election was won by Republican party candidate Richard Nixon . Nixon Doctrine and Vietnamization , 1969 -- 72 Propaganda leaflet urging the defection of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese to the side of the Republic of Vietnam U.S. President Richard Nixon began troop withdrawals in 1969 . His plan , called the Nixon Doctrine , was to build up the ARVN , so it could take over the defense of South Vietnam . The policy became known as `` Vietnamization '' . Nuclear threats On 27 October 1969 , Nixon ordered a squadron of 18 B - 52s loaded with nuclear weapons to race to the border of Soviet airspace to convince the Soviet Union , in accord with the madman theory , that he was capable of anything to end the Vietnam War ( `` Operation Giant Lance '' ) . Diplomacy Nixon also pursued negotiations . Theater commander Creighton Abrams shifted to smaller operations , aimed at communist logistics , with better use of firepower and more cooperation with the ARVN . Nixon also began to pursue détente with the Soviet Union and rapprochement with China . This policy helped to decrease global tensions . Détente led to nuclear arms reduction on the part of both superpowers . But Nixon was disappointed that China and the Soviet Union continued to supply the North Vietnamese with aid . In September 1969 , Ho Chi Minh died at age seventy - nine . Domestic controversy The anti-war movement was gaining strength in the United States . Nixon appealed to the `` silent majority '' of Americans who he said supported the war without showing it in public . But revelations of the My Lai Massacre , in which a U.S. Army platoon raped and killed civilians , and the 1969 `` Green Beret Affair '' where eight Special Forces soldiers , including the 5th Special Forces Group Commander , were arrested for the murder of a suspected double agent provoked national and international outrage . In 1971 the Pentagon Papers were leaked to The New York Times . The top - secret history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam , commissioned by the Department of Defense , detailed a long series of public deceptions on the part of the U.S. government . The Supreme Court ruled that its publication was legal . Troop withdrawal accelerates Beginning in 1970 , American troops were withdrawn from border areas where most of the fighting took place , and instead redeployed along the coast and interior , which is one reason why casualties in 1970 were less than half of 1969 's totals . Nixon said in 1970 in an announcement , `` I am tonight announcing plans for the withdrawal of an additional 150,000 American troops to be completed during the spring of next year . This will bring a total reduction of 265,500 men in our armed forces in Vietnam below the level that existed when we took office 15 months ago . '' Cambodia Main articles : Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , Operation Commando Hunt , Laotian Civil War , Cambodian Civil War , and Operation Lam Son 719 Prince Norodom Sihanouk had proclaimed Cambodia neutral since 1955 , but the communists used Cambodian soil as a base and Sihanouk tolerated their presence , because he wished to avoid being drawn into a wider regional conflict . Under pressure from Washington , however , he changed this policy in 1969 . The Vietnamese communists were no longer welcome . President Nixon took the opportunity to launch a massive bombing campaign , called Operation Menu , against communist sanctuaries along the Cambodia / Vietnam border . Only five high - ranking Congressional officials were informed of Operation Menu . In 1970 , Prince Sihanouk was deposed by his pro-American prime minister Lon Nol . North Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1970 at the request of Khmer Rouge deputy leader Nuon Chea . U.S. and ARVN forces launched an invasion into Cambodia to attack NVA and Viet Cong bases . This invasion sparked nationwide U.S. protests as Nixon had promised to deescalate the American involvement . Four students were killed by National Guardsmen at Kent State University during a protest in Ohio , which provoked further public outrage in the United States . The reaction to the incident by the Nixon administration was seen as callous and indifferent , providing additional impetus for the anti-war movement . The U.S. Air Force continued to heavily bomb Cambodia in support of the Cambodian government as part of Operation Freedom Deal . Laos Pathet Lao soldiers in Vientiane , 1972 . M41 Walker Bulldog , the main battle tank of the ARVN The ARVN launched Operation Lam Son 719 in February 1971 , aimed at cutting the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos . After meeting resistance , ARVN forces retreated in a confused rout . They fled along roads littered with their own dead . When they exhausted fuel supplies , soldiers abandoned their vehicles and attempted to barge their way on to American helicopters sent to evacuate the wounded . Many ARVN soldiers clung to helicopter skids in a desperate attempt to save themselves . U.S. aircraft had to destroy abandoned equipment , including tanks , to prevent them from falling into enemy hands . Half of the ARVN troops involved in the operation were either captured or killed . The operation was a fiasco and represented a clear failure of Vietnamization . As Karnow noted `` the blunders were monumental ... The ( South Vietnamese ) government 's top officers had been tutored by the Americans for ten or fifteen years , many at training schools in the United States , yet they had learned little . '' In 1971 Australia and New Zealand withdrew their soldiers . The U.S. troop count was further reduced to 196,700 , with a deadline to remove another 45,000 troops by February 1972 . As peace protests spread across the United States , disillusionment and ill - discipline grew in the ranks including increased drug use , `` fragging '' ( the act of murdering the commander of a fighting unit ) and desertions . 1972 election and Paris Peace Accords Vietnamization was again tested by the Easter Offensive of 1972 , a massive conventional NVA invasion of South Vietnam . The NVA and Viet Cong quickly overran the northern provinces and in coordination with other forces attacked from Cambodia , threatening to cut the country in half . U.S. troop withdrawals continued . American airpower responded , beginning Operation Linebacker , and the offensive was halted . However , it became clear that without American airpower South Vietnam could not survive . The last remaining American ground troops were withdrawn by the end of March 1973 ; U.S. naval and air forces remained in the Gulf of Tonkin , as well as Thailand and Guam . The war was the central issue of the 1972 U.S. presidential election . Nixon 's opponent , George McGovern , campaigned on a platform of withdrawal from Vietnam . Nixon 's National Security Advisor , Henry Kissinger , continued secret negotiations with North Vietnam 's Lê Đức Thọ . In October 1972 , they reached an agreement . Operation Linebacker II , December 1972 However , South Vietnamese president Thieu demanded massive changes to the peace accord . When North Vietnam went public with the agreement 's details , the Nixon administration claimed that the North was attempting to embarrass the president . The negotiations became deadlocked . Hanoi demanded new changes . To show his support for South Vietnam and force Hanoi back to the negotiating table , Nixon ordered Operation Linebacker II , a massive bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong 18 -- 29 December 1972 . The offensive destroyed much of the remaining economic and industrial capacity of North Vietnam . Simultaneously Nixon pressured Thieu to accept the terms of the agreement , threatening to conclude a bilateral peace deal and cut off American aid . On 15 January 1973 , Nixon announced the suspension of offensive action against North Vietnam . The Paris Peace Accords on `` Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam '' were signed on 27 January 1973 , officially ending direct U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War . A cease - fire was declared across North and South Vietnam . U.S. prisoners of war were released . The agreement guaranteed the territorial integrity of Vietnam and , like the Geneva Conference of 1954 , called for national elections in the North and South . The Paris Peace Accords stipulated a sixty - day period for the total withdrawal of U.S. forces . `` This article '' , noted Peter Church , `` proved ... to be the only one of the Paris Agreements which was fully carried out . '' Opposition to U.S. involvement in the War , 1964 -- 73 Main article : Opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War Protests against the war in Washington , D.C. on 24 April 1971 Anti-Vietnam War demonstration , 1967 Anti-war protests During the course of the Vietnam War a large segment of the American population came to be opposed to U.S. involvement in southeast Asia . Public opinion steadily turned against the war following 1967 and by 1970 only a third of Americans believed that the U.S. had not made a mistake by sending troops to fight in Vietnam . Nearly a third of the American population were strongly against the war , a position which lasted through subsequent decades . Early opposition to U.S. involvement in Vietnam drew its inspiration from the Geneva Conference of 1954 . American support of Diệm in refusing elections was seen as thwarting the democracy America claimed to support . John F. Kennedy , while Senator , opposed involvement in Vietnam . Nonetheless , it is possible to specify certain groups who led the anti-war movement at its peak in the late 1960s and the reasons why . Many young people protested because they were the ones being drafted while others were against the war because the anti-war movement grew increasingly popular among the counterculture . Some advocates within the peace movement advocated a unilateral withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam . Opposition to the Vietnam War tended to unite groups opposed to U.S. anti-communism and imperialism and , for those involved with the New Left such as the Catholic Worker Movement . Others , such as Stephen Spiro opposed the war based on the theory of Just War . Some wanted to show solidarity with the people of Vietnam , such as Norman Morrison emulating the self - immolation of Thích Quảng Đức . High - profile opposition to the Vietnam War increasingly turned to mass protests in an effort to shift U.S. public opinion . Riots broke out at the 1968 Democratic National Convention during protests against the war . After news reports of American military abuses such as the 1968 My Lai Massacre , brought new attention and support to the anti-war movement , some veterans joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War . On 15 October 1969 , the Vietnam Moratorium attracted millions of Americans . The fatal shooting of four students at Kent State University in 1970 led to nationwide university protests . Anti-war protests declined with the final withdrawal of troops after the Paris Peace Accords in 1973 . Exit of the Americans , 1973 -- 75 The United States began drastically reducing their troop support in South Vietnam during the final years of Vietnamization . On 5 March 1971 , the United States returned the 5th Special Forces Group , which was the first American unit deployed to South Vietnam , to its former base in Fort Bragg , North Carolina . Under the Paris Peace Accords , between North Vietnamese Foreign Minister Lê Đức Thọ and U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger , and reluctantly signed by South Vietnamese president Thiệu , U.S. military forces withdrew from South Vietnam and prisoners were exchanged . North Vietnam was allowed to continue supplying communist troops in the South , but only to the extent of replacing expended materiel . Later that year the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Kissinger and Thọ , but the Vietnamese negotiator declined it saying that a true peace did not yet exist . The communist leaders expected the ceasefire terms would favor their side . But Saigon , bolstered by a surge of U.S. aid received just before the ceasefire went into effect , began to roll back the Viet Cong . The communists responded with a new strategy hammered out in a series of meetings in Hanoi in March 1973 , according to the memoirs of Trần Văn Trà . As the Viet Cong 's top commander , Tra participated in several of these meetings . With U.S. bombings suspended , work on the Ho Chi Minh trail and other logistical structures could proceed unimpeded . Logistics would be upgraded until the North was in a position to launch a massive invasion of the South , projected for the 1975 -- 76 dry season . Tra calculated that this date would be Hanoi 's last opportunity to strike before Saigon 's army could be fully trained . Calling for immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Vietnam , George McGovern 's 1972 Presidential Campaign lost 49 of 50 states to Richard Nixon . In the November 1972 Election , Democratic nominee George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states to the incumbent President Richard Nixon . On 15 March 1973 , President Nixon implied the United States would intervene militarily if the communist side violated the ceasefire . Public and congressional reaction to Nixon 's trial balloon was unfavorable and in April Nixon appointed Graham Martin as U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam . During his confirmation hearings in June 1973 , Secretary of Defense James R. Schlesinger stated he would recommend resumption of U.S. bombing in North Vietnam if North Vietnam launched a major offensive against South Vietnam . On 4 June 1973 , the U.S. Senate passed the Case -- Church Amendment to prohibit such intervention . The oil price shock of October 1973 following the Yom Kippur War in Egypt caused significant damage to the South Vietnamese economy . The Viet Cong resumed offensive operations when the dry season began and by January 1974 it recaptured the territory it lost during the previous dry season . After two clashes that left 55 South Vietnamese soldiers dead , President Thieu announced on 4 January that the war had restarted and that the Paris Peace Accord was no longer in effect . There were over 25,000 South Vietnamese casualties during the ceasefire period . Gerald Ford took over as U.S. president on 9 August 1974 after President Nixon resigned due to the Watergate scandal . At this time , Congress cut financial aid to South Vietnam from $1 billion a year to $700 million . The U.S. midterm elections in 1974 brought in a new Congress dominated by Democrats who were even more determined to confront the president on the war . Congress immediately voted in restrictions on funding and military activities to be phased in through 1975 and to culminate in a total cutoff of funding in 1976 . The success of the 1973 -- 74 dry season offensive inspired Trà to return to Hanoi in October 1974 and plead for a larger offensive in the next dry season . This time , Trà could travel on a drivable highway with regular fueling stops , a vast change from the days when the Ho Chi Minh trail was a dangerous mountain trek . Giáp , the North Vietnamese defense minister , was reluctant to approve Trà 's plan . A larger offensive might provoke a U.S. reaction and interfere with the big push planned for 1976 . Trà appealed over Giáp 's head to first secretary Lê Duẩn , who approved of the operation . Trà 's plan called for a limited offensive from Cambodia into Phước Long Province . The strike was designed to solve local logistical problems , gauge the reaction of South Vietnamese forces , and determine whether U.S. would return to the fray . Recently released American POWs from North Vietnamese prison camps , 1973 On 13 December 1974 , North Vietnamese forces attacked Route 14 in Phước Long Province . Phuoc Binh , the provincial capital , fell on 6 January 1975 . Ford desperately asked Congress for funds to assist and re-supply the South before it was overrun . Congress refused . The fall of Phuoc Binh and the lack of an American response left the South Vietnamese elite demoralized . The speed of this success led the Politburo to reassess its strategy . It was decided that operations in the Central Highlands would be turned over to General Văn Tiến Dũng and that Pleiku should be seized , if possible . Before he left for the South , Dũng was addressed by Lê Duẩn : `` Never have we had military and political conditions so perfect or a strategic advantage as great as we have now . '' At the start of 1975 , the South Vietnamese had three times as much artillery and twice the number of tanks and armored cars as the opposition . They also had 1,400 aircraft and a two - to - one numerical superiority in combat troops over their Communist enemies . However , the rising oil prices meant that much of this could not be used . They faced a well - organized , highly determined and well - funded North Vietnam . Much of the North 's material and financial support came from the communist bloc . Within South Vietnam , there was increasing chaos . The departure of the American military had compromised an economy dependent on U.S. financial support and the presence of a large number of U.S. troops . South Vietnam suffered from the global recession that followed the Arab oil embargo . Campaign 275 See also : 1975 Spring Offensive , Battle of Ban Me Thuot , and Hue -- Da Nang Campaign Captured U.S. - supplied armored vehicles and artillery pieces . On 10 March 1975 , General Dung launched Campaign 275 , a limited offensive into the Central Highlands , supported by tanks and heavy artillery . The target was Buôn Ma Thuột , in Đắk Lắk Province . If the town could be taken , the provincial capital of Pleiku and the road to the coast would be exposed for a planned campaign in 1976 . The ARVN proved incapable of resisting the onslaught , and its forces collapsed on 11 March . Once again , Hanoi was surprised by the speed of their success . Dung now urged the Politburo to allow him to seize Pleiku immediately and then turn his attention to Kon Tum . He argued that with two months of good weather remaining until the onset of the monsoon , it would be irresponsible to not take advantage of the situation . President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu , a former general , was fearful that his forces would be cut off in the north by the attacking communists ; Thieu ordered a retreat , which soon turned into a bloody rout . While the bulk of ARVN forces attempted to flee , isolated units fought desperately . ARVN General Phu abandoned Pleiku and Kon Tum and retreated toward the coast , in what became known as the `` column of tears '' . On 20 March , Thieu reversed himself and ordered Huế , Vietnam 's third - largest city , be held at all costs , and then changed his policy several times . As the North Vietnamese launched their attack , panic set in , and ARVN resistance withered . On 22 March , the NVA opened the siege of Huế . Civilians flooded the airport and the docks hoping for any mode of escape . As resistance in Huế collapsed , North Vietnamese rockets rained down on Da Nang and its airport . By 28 March 35,000 VPA troops were poised to attack the suburbs . By 30 March 100,000 leaderless ARVN troops surrendered as the NVA marched victoriously through Da Nang . With the fall of the city , the defense of the Central Highlands and Northern provinces came to an end . Final North Vietnamese offensive Further information on the final North Vietnamese offensive : Ho Chi Minh Campaign Captured South Vietnamese warplanes in Ho Chi Minh City With the northern half of the country under their control , the Politburo ordered General Dung to launch the final offensive against Saigon . The operational plan for the Ho Chi Minh Campaign called for the capture of Saigon before 1 May . Hanoi wished to avoid the coming monsoon and prevent any redeployment of ARVN forces defending the capital . Northern forces , their morale boosted by their recent victories , rolled on , taking Nha Trang , Cam Ranh , and Da Lat . On 7 April , three North Vietnamese divisions attacked Xuân Lộc , 40 miles ( 64 km ) east of Saigon . For two bloody weeks , severe fighting raged as the ARVN defenders made a last stand to try to block the North Vietnamese advance . By 21 April , however , the exhausted garrison were ordered to withdraw towards Saigon . An embittered and tearful president Thieu resigned on the same day , declaring that the United States betrayed South Vietnam . In a scathing attack , he suggested U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had tricked him into signing the Paris peace agreement two years earlier , promising military aid that failed to materialize . Having transferred power to Trần Văn Hương , he left for Taiwan on 25 April . By the end of April , the ARVN collapsed on all fronts except in the Mekong Delta . Thousands of refugees streamed southward , ahead of the main communist onslaught . On 27 April 100,000 North Vietnamese troops encircled Saigon . The city was defended by about 30,000 ARVN troops . To hasten a collapse and foment panic , the NVA shelled the airport and forced its closure . With the air exit closed , large numbers of civilians found that they had no way out . Fall of Saigon Main article : Fall of Saigon Further information : Operation Frequent Wind Victorious NVA troops at the Presidential Palace , Saigon Chaos , unrest , and panic broke out as hysterical South Vietnamese officials and civilians scrambled to leave Saigon . Martial law was declared . American helicopters began evacuating South Vietnamese , U.S. , and foreign nationals from various parts of the city and from the U.S. embassy compound . Operation Frequent Wind had been delayed until the last possible moment , because of U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin 's belief that Saigon could be held and that a political settlement could be reached . Schlesinger announced early in the morning of 29 April 1975 the evacuation from Saigon by helicopter of the last U.S. diplomatic , military , and civilian personnel . Frequent Wind was arguably the largest helicopter evacuation in history . It began on 29 April , in an atmosphere of desperation , as hysterical crowds of Vietnamese vied for limited space . Martin pleaded with Washington to dispatch $700 million in emergency aid to bolster the regime and help it mobilize fresh military reserves . But American public opinion had soured on this conflict . President Gerald Ford had given a televised speech on 23 April , declaring an end to the Vietnam War and all U.S. aid . Frequent Wind continued around the clock , as North Vietnamese tanks breached defenses on the outskirts of Saigon . In the early morning hours of 30 April , the last U.S. Marines evacuated the embassy by helicopter , as civilians swamped the perimeter and poured into the grounds . Many of them had been employed by the Americans and were left to their fate . On 30 April 1975 , NVA troops entered the city of Saigon and quickly overcame all resistance , capturing key buildings and installations . A tank from the 324th Division crashed through the gates of the Independence Palace at 11 : 30 am local time and the Viet Cong flag was raised above it . President Dương Văn Minh , who had succeeded Huong two days earlier , surrendered . Other countries ' involvement Pro-hanoi Ho Chi Minh from the Việt Minh independence movement and Việt Cộng with East German sailors in Stralsund harbour , 1957 2,000 years of Chinese - Vietnamese enmity and hundreds of years of Chinese and Russian mutual suspicions were suspended when they united against us in Vietnam . -- Richard Holbrooke , 1985 People 's Republic of China In 1950 , the People 's Republic of China extended diplomatic recognition to the Viet Minh 's Democratic Republic of Vietnam and sent heavy weapons , as well as military advisers led by Luo Guibo to assist the Viet Minh in its war with the French ( 1946 - 1954 ) . The first draft of the 1954 Geneva Accords was negotiated by French prime minister Pierre Mendès France and Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai who , seeing U.S. intervention coming , urged the Viet Minh to accept a partition at the 17th parallel . China 's support for North Vietnam when the U.S started to intervene included both financial aid and the deployment of hundreds of thousands of military personnel in support roles . In the summer of 1962 , Mao Zedong agreed to supply Hanoi with 90,000 rifles and guns free of charge . Starting in 1965 , China sent anti-aircraft units and engineering battalions to North Vietnam to repair the damage caused by American bombing , man anti-aircraft batteries , rebuild roads and railroads , transport supplies , and perform other engineering works . This freed North Vietnamese army units for combat in the South . China sent 320,000 troops and annual arms shipments worth $180 million . The Chinese military claims to have caused 38 % of American air losses in the war . China claimed that its military and economic aid to North Vietnam and the Viet Cong totaled $20 billion ( approx . $143 billion adjusted for inflation in 2015 ) during the Vietnam War . Included in that aid were donations of 5 million tons of food to North Vietnam ( equivalent to NV food production in a single year ) , accounting for 10 -- 15 % of the North Vietnamese food supply by the 1970s .

In October , the Chinese demanded North Vietnam cut relations with Moscow , but Hanoi refused . The Chinese began to withdraw in November 1968 in preparation for a clash with the Soviets , which occurred at Zhenbao Island in March 1969 . The Chinese also began financing the Khmer Rouge as a counterweight to the Vietnamese communists at this time . China `` armed and trained '' the Khmer Rouge during the civil war and continued to aid them for years afterward . The Khmer Rouge launched ferocious raids into Vietnam in 1975 -- 1978 . When Vietnam responded with an invasion that toppled the Khmer Rouge , China launched a brief , punitive invasion of Vietnam in 1979 . Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev ( left ) was the leader of the Soviet Union during the second half of the Vietnam War . Soviet ships in the South China Sea gave vital early warnings to Viet Cong forces in South Vietnam . The Soviet intelligence ships would pick up American B - 52 bombers flying from Okinawa and Guam . Their airspeed and direction would be noted and then relayed to COSVN , North Vietnam 's southern headquarters . Using airspeed and direction , COSVN analysts would calculate the bombing target and tell any assets to move `` perpendicularly to the attack trajectory . '' These advance warning gave them time to move out of the way of the bombers , and , while the bombing runs caused extensive damage , because of the early warnings from 1968 to 1970 they did not kill a single military or civilian leader in the headquarters complexes . The Soviet Union supplied North Vietnam with medical supplies , arms , tanks , planes , helicopters , artillery , anti-aircraft missiles and other military equipment . Soviet crews fired Soviet - made surface - to - air missiles at U.S. F - 4 Phantoms , which were shot down over Thanh Hóa in 1965 . Over a dozen Soviet citizens lost their lives in this conflict . Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 , Russian officials acknowledged that the Soviet Union had stationed up to 3,000 troops in Vietnam during the war . Some Russian sources give more specific numbers : Between 1953 and 1991 , the hardware donated by the Soviet Union included 2,000 tanks , 1,700 APCs , 7,000 artillery guns , over 5,000 anti-aircraft guns , 158 surface - to - air missile launchers , 120 helicopters . During the war , the Soviets sent North Vietnam annual arms shipments worth $450 million . From July 1965 to the end of 1974 , fighting in Vietnam was observed by some 6,500 officers and generals , as well as more than 4,500 soldiers and sergeants of the Soviet Armed Forces . In addition , Soviet military schools and academies began training Vietnamese soldiers -- in all more than 10,000 military personnel . North Korea As a result of a decision of the Korean Workers ' Party in October 1966 , in early 1967 North Korea sent a fighter squadron to North Vietnam to back up the North Vietnamese 921st and 923rd fighter squadrons defending Hanoi . They stayed through 1968 , and 200 pilots were reported to have served . In addition , at least two anti-aircraft artillery regiments were sent as well . Cuba The contribution to North Vietnam by the Republic of Cuba , under Fidel Castro have been recognized several times by representatives of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam . Fidel Castro mentioned in his discourses the Batallón Girón ( Giron Battalion ) as comprising the Cuban contingent that served as military advisors during the war . In this battalion , alongside the Cubans , fought Nguyễn Thị Định , founding member of the Viet Cong , who later became the first female Major General in the North Vietnamese Army . There are numerous allegations by former U.S. prisoners of war that Cuban military personnel were present at North Vietnamese prison facilities during the war and that they participated in torture activities . Witnesses to this include Senator John McCain , 2008 U.S. Presidential candidate and former Vietnam prisoner of war , according to his 1999 book Faith of My Fathers . Pro-Saigon South Korea Main article : South Korea in the Vietnam War Soldiers of the South Korean White Horse Division in Vietnam Vietnamese civilians of Phong Nhi village massacred by South Korean Blue Dragon Brigade in 1968 On the anti-communist side , South Korea ( a.k.a. the Republic of Korea , ROK ) had the second - largest contingent of foreign troops in South Vietnam after the United States . In November 1961 , President Park Chung - hee proposed South Korean participation in the war to John F. Kennedy , but Kennedy disagreed . On 1 May 1964 Lyndon Johnson requested South Korean participation . The first South Korean troops began arriving in 1964 and large combat formations began arriving a year later . The ROK Marine Corps dispatched their 2nd Marine Brigade while the ROK Army sent the Capital Division and later the 9th Infantry Division . In August 1966 after the arrival of the 9th Division the Koreans established a corps command , the Republic of Korea Forces Vietnam Field Command , near I Field Force , Vietnam at Nha Trang . The South Koreans soon developed a reputation for effectiveness , reportedly conducting counterinsurgency operations so well that American commanders felt that the South Korean area of responsibility was the safest . Approximately 320,000 South Korean soldiers were sent to Vietnam , each serving a one - year tour of duty . Maximum troop levels peaked at 50,000 in 1968 , however all were withdrawn by 1973 . About 5,099 South Koreans were killed and 10,962 wounded during the war . South Korea claimed to have killed 41,000 Viet Cong fighters . The United States paid South Korean soldiers 236 million dollars for their efforts in Vietnam , and South Korean GNP increased five-fold during the war . Thailand Main article : Thailand in the Vietnam War The Thai Queen 's Cobra battalion in Phuoc Tho Thai Army formations , including the Royal Thai Volunteer Regiment ( Queen 's Cobras ) and later the Royal Thai Army Expeditionary Division ( Black Panthers ) , saw action in South Vietnam between 1965 and 1971 . Thai forces saw much more action in the covert war in Laos between 1964 and 1972 , though Thai regular formations there were heavily outnumbered by the irregular `` volunteers '' of the CIA - sponsored Police Aerial Reconnaissance Units or PARU , who carried out reconnaissance activities on the western side of the Ho Chi Minh trail . Australia and New Zealand Main articles : Military history of Australia during the Vietnam War and New Zealand in the Vietnam War An Australian soldier in Vietnam Australia and New Zealand , close allies of the United States and members of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization ( SEATO ) and the ANZUS military co-operation treaty , sent ground troops to Vietnam . Both nations had gained experience in counterinsurgency and jungle warfare during the Malayan Emergency and World War II . Their governments subscribed to the Domino theory . Australia began by sending advisors to Vietnam in 1962 , and combat troops were committed in 1965 . New Zealand began by sending a detachment of engineers and an artillery battery , and then started sending special forces and regular infantry which were attached to Australian formations . Australia 's peak commitment was 7,672 combat troops and New Zealand 's 552 . More than 60,000 Australian personnel were involved during the course of the war , of which 521 were killed and more than 3,000 wounded . Approximately 3,500 New Zealanders served in Vietnam , with 37 killed and 187 wounded . Most Australians and New Zealanders served in the 1st Australian Task Force in Phước Tuy Province . Philippines Some 10,450 Filipino troops were dispatched to South Vietnam . They were primarily engaged in medical and other civilian pacification projects . These forces operated under the designation PHLCAG - V or Philippine Civic Action Group - Vietnam . More noteworthy was the fact that the naval base in Subic Bay was used for the U.S. Seventh Fleet from 1964 till the end of the war in 1975 . The Navy base in Subic bay and the Air force base at Clark achieved maximum functionality during the war and supported an estimated 80,000 locals in allied tertiary businesses from shoe making to prostitution . Taiwan Main article : Republic of China in the Vietnam War Since November 1967 , Taiwan secretly operated a cargo transport detachment to assist the United States and South Vietnam . Taiwan also provided military training units for the South Vietnamese diving units , later known as the Lien Doi Nguoi Nhai ( LDMN ) or `` Frogman unit '' in English . Military commandos from Taiwan were captured by North Vietnamese forces three times trying to infiltrate North Vietnam . Brazil The Brazilian government of President Castelo Branco officially supported the United States 's position in South Vietnam and contributed a medical team and supplies to the country -- the only Latin American country to do so Canada and the ICC Main article : Canada and the Vietnam War Canada , India and Poland constituted the International Control Commission , which was supposed to monitor the 1954 ceasefire agreement . Officially , Canada did not have partisan involvement in the Vietnam War and diplomatically it was `` non-belligerent '' though there is evidence to the contrary . The Vietnam War entry in The Canadian Encyclopedia asserts plainly that Canada 's record on the truce commissions was a pro-Saigon partisan one . United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed races ( FULRO ) Main articles : United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races and FULRO insurgency against Vietnam The ethnic minority peoples of south Vietnam like the Christian Montagnards ( Degar ) , Hindu and Muslim Cham and the Buddhist Khmer Krom banded together in the United Front for the Liberation of Oppressed Races ( French : Front Uni de Lutte des Races Opprimées , acronym : FULRO ) to fight against the Vietnamese for autonomy or independence . FULRO fought against both the anti-Communist South Vietnamese and the Communist Viet Cong , and then FURLO proceeded to fight against the united Communist Socialist Republic of Vietnam after the fall of South Vietnam . During the war , the South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem began a program to settle ethnic Vietnamese Kinh on Montagnard lands in the Central Highlands region . This provoked a backlash from the Montagnards . The Cambodians under both the pro-China King Sihanouk and the pro-American Lon Nol supported their fellow co-ethnic Khmer Krom in south Vietnam , following an anti-ethnic Vietnamese policy . War crimes Victims of the My Lai massacre Main articles : List of war crimes § 1955 -- 1975 : Vietnam War , and Vietnam War casualties See also : List of massacres in Vietnam A large number of war crimes took place during the Vietnam War . War crimes were committed by both sides during the conflict and included rape , massacres of civilians , bombings of civilian targets , terrorism , the widespread use of torture and the murder of prisoners of war . Additional common crimes included theft , arson , and the destruction of property not warranted by military necessity . Allied War crimes Main articles : Tiger Force and Vietnam War Crimes Working Group See also : Winter Soldier Investigation In 1968 , the Vietnam War Crimes Working Group ( VWCWG ) was established by the Pentagon task force set up in the wake of the My Lai Massacre , to attempt to ascertain the veracity of emerging claims of war crimes by U.S. armed forces in Vietnam , during the Vietnam War period . A Viet Cong prisoner captured in 1967 by the U.S. Army awaits interrogation . He has been placed in a stress position by tying a board between his arms . Sworn statements by witnesses and status reports for top military officers indicated that 320 incidents had factual basis . The substantiated cases included 7 massacres between 1967 and 1971 in which at least 137 civilians were killed ; seventy eight further attacks targeting non-combatants resulting in at least 57 deaths , 56 wounded and 15 sexually assaulted ; one hundred and forty - one cases of US soldiers torturing civilian detainees or prisoners of war with fists , sticks , bats , water or electric shock . Journalism in the ensuing years has documented large numbers of overlooked war crimes involving every army division that was active in Vietnam . During their visits to transit detention facilities under American administration in 1968 and 1969 , the International Red Cross recorded many cases of torture and inhumane treatment before the captives were handed over to South Vietnamese authorities . The war involved the establishment of numerous free - fire zones by U.S. forces as a tactic to prevent Viet Cong fighters from sheltering in South Vietnamese villages . Such practice , which involved the assumption that any individual appearing in the designated zones was an enemy combatant that could be freely targeted by weapons , is regarded by journalist Lewis M. Simons as `` a severe violation of the laws of war '' . Nick Turse , in his 2013 book , Kill Anything that Moves , argues that a relentless drive toward higher body counts , a widespread use of free - fire zones , rules of engagement where civilians who ran from soldiers or helicopters could be viewed as Viet Cong , and a widespread disdain for Vietnamese civilians led to massive civilian casualties and endemic war crimes inflicted by U.S. troops . One example cited by Turse is Operation Speedy Express , an operation by the 9th Infantry Division , which was described by John Paul Vann as , in effect , `` many My Lais '' . A report by Newsweek magazine suggested that an estimated 5,000 civilians may have been killed during six months of the operation . In terms of atrocities by the South Vietnamese , during the Diem era ( 1954 -- 1963 ) R.J. Rummel estimated that 16,000 to 167,000 South Vietnamese civilians were killed in democide ; for 1964 to 1975 , Rummel estimated a total of 42,000 to 128,000 killed in democide . Thus , the total for 1954 to 1975 is from 57,000 to 284,000 deaths caused by South Vietnam , excluding NLF / North Vietnamese forces killed by the South Vietnamese armed forces . Torture and ill - treatment were frequently applied by the South Vietnamese to POWs as well as civilian prisoners . During their visit to the Con Son Prison in 1970 , U.S. Congressmen Augustus F. Hawkins and William R. Anderson witnessed detainees either confined in minute `` tiger cages '' or chained to their cells , and provided with poor - quality food . A group of American doctors inspecting the prison in the same year found many inmates suffering symptoms resulting from forced immobility and torture . Red Cross reports after the war showed connections of U.S. advisors with the torture at POW camps . Due to the particularly heavy impact of cluster bombs during this war , Laos was a strong advocate of the Convention on Cluster Munitions to ban the weapons , and was host to the First Meeting of States Parties to the convention in November 2010 . South Korean forces were also accused of war crimes as well . One documented event was the Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất massacre where the 2nd Marine Brigade of the South Korean Army purportedly killed 69 -- 79 civilians on 12 February 1968 in Phong Nhị and Phong Nhất village , Điện Bàn District of Quảng Nam Province in South Vietnam . South Korean forces are also accused of perpetrating other massacres , namely : Bình Hòa massacre , Binh Tai Massacre and Hà My massacre . North Vietnamese and Viet Cong War crimes Main article : Viet Cong and PAVN strategy , organization and structure § VC / NVA use of terror See also : Cambodian Civil War § War Crimes Victims of the Huế Massacre Ami Pedahzur has written that `` the overall volume and lethality of Viet Cong terrorism rivals or exceeds all but a handful of terrorist campaigns waged over the last third of the twentieth century '' . Notable Viet Cong atrocities include the massacre of over 3,000 unarmed civilians at Huế during the Tet Offensive and the incineration of hundreds of civilians at the Đắk Sơn massacre with flamethrowers . Up to 155,000 refugees fleeing the final North Vietnamese Spring Offensive were killed or abducted on the road to Tuy Hòa in 1975 . According to Rummel , North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops killed between 106,000 and 227,000 civilians in South Vietnam . North Vietnam was also known for its abusive treatment of American POWs , most notably in Hỏa Lò Prison ( aka the Hanoi Hilton ) , where torture was employed to extract confessions . Women in the Vietnam War American nurses Da Nang , South Vietnam , 1968 During the Vietnam War , American women served on active duty doing a variety of jobs . Early in 1963 , the Army Nurse Corps ( ANC ) launched Operation Nightingale , an intensive effort to recruit nurses to serve in Vietnam . First Lieutenant Sharon Lane was the only female military nurse to be killed by enemy gunfire during the war , on 8 June 1969 . One civilian doctor , Eleanor Ardel Vietti , who was captured by Viet Cong on May 30 , 1962 in Buôn Ma Thuột , remains the only American woman unaccounted for from the Vietnam War . A nurse treats a Vietnamese child , 1967 Although a small number of women were assigned to combat zones , they were never allowed directly in the field of battle . The women who served in the military were solely volunteers . They faced a plethora of challenges , one of which was the relatively small number of female soldiers . Living in a male - dominated environment created tensions between the sexes . By 1973 , approximately 7,500 women had served in Vietnam in the Southeast Asian theater . American women serving in Vietnam were subject to societal stereotypes . To address this problem , the ANC released advertisements portraying women in the ANC as `` proper , professional and well protected . '' This effort to highlight the positive aspects of a nursing career reflected the feminism of the 1960s -- 1970s in the United States . Although female military nurses lived in a heavily male environment , very few cases of sexual harassment were ever reported . Vietnamese women Master - Sergeant and pharmacist Do Thi Trinh , part of the WAFC , supplying medication to ARVN dependents Unlike the American women who went to Vietnam , North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone as well as providing manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open and cook for the soldiers . They also worked in the rice fields in North Vietnam and Viet Cong - held farming areas in South Vietnam 's Mekong Delta region to provide food for their families and the war effort . Women were enlisted in both the North Vietnamese Army ( NVA ) and the Viet Cong guerrilla insurgent force in South Vietnam . Some women also served for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong intelligence services . In South Vietnam , many women voluntarily served in the ARVN 's Women 's Armed Force Corps ( WAFC ) and various other Women 's corps in the military . Some , like in the WAFC , fought in combat with other soldiers . Others served as nurses and doctors in the battlefield and in military hospitals , or served in South Vietnam or America 's intelligence agencies . During Diệm 's presidency , Madame Nhu was the commander of the WAFC . The war saw more than one million rural people migrate or flee the fighting in the South Vietnamese countryside to the cities , especially Saigon . Among the internal refugees were many young women who became the ubiquitous `` bargirls '' of wartime South Vietnam `` hawking her wares -- be that cigarettes , liquor , or herself '' to American and allied soldiers . American bases were ringed by bars and brothels . 8,040 Vietnamese women came to the United States as war brides between 1964 and 1975 . Many mixed - blood Amerasian children were left behind when their American fathers returned to the United States after their tour of duty in South Vietnam . 26,000 of them were permitted to immigrate to the United States in the 1980s and 1990s . Black servicemen in Vietnam See also : Civil rights movement A wounded African - American soldier being carried away , 1968 The experience of American military personnel of African origin during the Vietnam War had received significant attention . For example , the website `` African - American Involvement in the Vietnam War '' compiles examples of such coverage , as does the print and broadcast work of journalist Wallace Terry . Terry 's book Bloods : An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans ( 1984 ) , includes observations about the impact of the war on the black community in general and on black servicemen specifically . Points he makes on the latter topic include : the higher proportion of combat casualties in Vietnam among African American servicemen than among American soldiers of other races , the shift toward and different attitudes of black military careerists versus black draftees , the discrimination encountered by black servicemen `` on the battlefield in decorations , promotion and duty assignments '' as well as their having to endure `` the racial insults , cross-burnings and Confederate flags of their white comrades '' -- and the experiences faced by black soldiers stateside , during the war and after America 's withdrawal . By the war 's completion in 1975 , black casualties had declined to 12.5 % of US combat deaths , approximately equal to percentage of draft - eligible black men , though still slightly higher than the 10 % who served in the military . Weapons Main article : Weapons of the Vietnam War Marines complete construction of M101 howitzer positions at a mountain - top fire support base , 1968 During the early stages of their insurgency , the Viet Cong mainly sustained itself with captured arms ( often of American manufacture ) or crude , self - made weapons ( e.g. copies of the US Thompson submachine gun and shotguns made of galvanized pipes ) . Most arms were captured from poorly defended ARVN militia outposts . In the summer and fall of 1967 , all Viet Cong battalions were reequipped with arms of Soviet design such as the AK - 47 assault rifle and the RPG - 2 anti-tank weapon . Their weapons were principally of Chinese or Soviet manufacture . While the Viet Cong had both amphibious tanks ( such as the PT - 76 ) and light tanks ( such as the Type 62 ) , they also used bicycles to transport munitions . The US ' heavily armored , 90 mm M48A3 Patton tank saw extensive action during the Vietnam War and over 600 were deployed with US Forces . They played an important role in infantry support . The US service rifle was initially the M14 ( though some units were still using the WWII - era M1 Garand for a lack of M14s ) . Found to be unsuitable for jungle warfare , the M14 was replaced by M16 which was more accurate and lighter than the AK - 47 . For a period , the gun suffered from a jamming flaw known as `` failure to extract '' , which means that a spent cartridge case remained lodged in the action after a round is fired . According to a congressional report , the jamming was caused primarily by a change in gunpowder which was done without adequate testing and reflected a decision for which the safety of soldiers was a secondary consideration . That issue was solved in early 1968 with the issuance of the M16A1 that featured a chrome plated chamber among several other features . End - user satisfaction with the M16 was high except during this episode , but the M16 still has a reputation as a gun that jams easily . The M60 machine gun GPMG ( General Purpose Machine Gun ) was the main machine gun of the US army at the time and many of them were put on helicopters , to provide suppressive fire when landing in hostile regions . The MAC - 10 machine pistol was supplied to many special forces troops in the midpoint of the war . It also armed many CIA agents in the field . UH - 1D helicopters airlift members of a U.S. infantry regiment , 1966 Two aircraft which were prominent in the war were the AC - 130 `` Spectre '' Gunship and the UH - 1 `` Huey '' gunship . The AC - 130 was a heavily armed ground - attack aircraft variant of the C - 130 Hercules transport plane ; it was used to provide close air support , air interdiction and force protection . The AC - 130H `` Spectre '' was armed with two 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannons , one Bofors 40mm autocannon , and one 105 mm M102 howitzer . The Huey is a military helicopter powered by a single , turboshaft engine , with a two - bladed main rotor and tail rotor . Approximately 7,000 UH - 1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam . The Claymore M18A1 , an anti-personnel mine , was widely used during the war . Unlike a conventional land mine , the Claymore is command - detonated and directional , meaning it is fired by remote - control and shoots a pattern of 700 one - eighth - inch steel balls into the kill zone like a shotgun . The aircraft ordnance used during the war included precision - guided munition , cluster bombs , and napalm , a thickening / gelling agent generally mixed with petroleum or a similar fuel for use in an incendiary device , initially against buildings and later primarily as an anti-personnel weapon that sticks to skin and can burn down to the bone . Radio communications The Vietnam War was the first conflict where U.S. forces had secure voice communication equipment available at the tactical level . The National Security Agency ran a crash program to provide U.S. forces with a family of security equipment code named NESTOR , fielding 17,000 units initially . Eventually 30,000 units were produced . However limitations of the units , including poor voice quality , reduced range , annoying time delays and logistical support issues led to only one unit in ten being used . While many in the U.S. military believed that the Viet Cong and NVA would not be able to exploit insecure communications , interrogation of captured communication intelligence units showed they were able to understand the jargon and codes used in realtime and were often able to warn their side of impending U.S. actions . Extent of U.S. bombing Bombs being dropped by the B - 52 Stratofortress long - range strategic bomber See also : Operation Rolling Thunder , Operation Menu , Operation Freedom Deal , and CIA activities in Laos The U.S. dropped over 7 million tons of bombs on Indochina during the war -- more than triple the 2.1 million tons of bombs the U.S. dropped on Europe and Asia during all of World War II , and more than ten times the amount dropped by the U.S. during the Korean War . 500 thousand tons were dropped on Cambodia , 1 million tons were dropped on North Vietnam , and 4 million tons were dropped on South Vietnam . On a per capita basis , the 2 million tons dropped on Laos make it the most heavily bombed country in history ; The New York Times noted this was `` nearly a ton for every person in Laos . '' Former U.S. Air Force official Earl Tilford has recounted `` repeated bombing runs of a lake in central Cambodia . The B - 52s literally dropped their payloads in the lake '' : The Air Force ran many missions of this kind for the purpose of securing additional funding during budget negotiations , so the amount of tonnage expended does not directly correlate with the resulting damage . Aftermath Events in Southeast Asia Further information : Mayaguez incident and Indochina refugee crisis Vietnamese refugees fleeing Vietnam , 1984 On 2 July 1976 , North and South Vietnam were merged to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam . Despite speculation that the victorious North Vietnamese would , in President Nixon 's words , `` massacre the civilians there ( South Vietnam ) by the millions , '' there is a widespread consensus that no mass executions in fact took place . However , in the years following the end of the war , up to 300,000 South Vietnamese were sent to reeducation camps ( not including `` dissidents detained in the many prisons of Vietnam '' ) , where many endured torture , starvation , and disease while being forced to perform hard labor . By 1975 , the Viet Minh had lost influence over the Cambodian communists . Phnom Penh , the capital of Cambodia , fell to the Khmer Rouge on 17 April 1975 . Under the leadership of Pol Pot , the Khmer Rouge would eventually kill 1 -- 3 million Cambodians out of a population of around 8 million , in one of the bloodiest genocides in history . After repeated border clashes in 1978 , Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea ( Cambodia ) and ousted the Khmer Rouge , who were being supported by China , in the Cambodian -- Vietnamese War . In response , China invaded Vietnam in 1979 . The two countries fought a brief border war , known as the Sino - Vietnamese War . From 1978 to 1979 , some 450,000 ethnic Chinese left Vietnam by boat as refugees or were expelled . The Pathet Lao overthrew the monarchy of Laos in December 1975 , establishing the Lao People 's Democratic Republic under the leadership of a member of the royal family , Souphanouvong . The change in regime was `` quite peaceful , a sort of Asiatic ' velvet revolution ' '' -- although 30,000 former officials were sent to reeducation camps , often enduring harsh conditions for several years . The conflict between Hmong rebels and the Pathet Lao continued in isolated pockets . The millions of cluster bombs the US dropped on southeast Asia rendered the landscape hazardous . In Laos alone , some 80 million bombs failed to explode and remain scattered throughout the country , rendering vast swathes of land impossible to cultivate and killing or maiming 50 Laotians every year . Over 3 million people left Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia in the Indochina refugee crisis . Most Asian countries were unwilling to accept these refugees , many of whom fled by boat and were known as boat people . Between 1975 and 1998 , an estimated 1.2 million refugees from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries resettled in the United States , while Canada , Australia , and France resettled over 500,000 . China accepted 250,000 people . Of all the countries of Indochina , Laos experienced the largest refugee flight in proportional terms , as 300,000 people out of a total population of 3 million crossed the border into Thailand . Included among their ranks were `` about 90 percent '' of Laos 's `` intellectuals , technicians , and officials . '' Agent Orange and similar chemical substances used by the U.S. have also caused a considerable number of deaths and injuries in the intervening years , including among the US Air Force crew which handled them . Scientific reports have concluded that refugees exposed to chemical sprays while in South Vietnam continued to experience pain in the eyes and skin as well as gastrointestinal upsets . In one study , ninety - two percent of participants suffered incessant fatigue ; others reported monstrous births . Meta - analyses of the most current studies on the association between Agent Orange and birth defects have concluded that there is a statistically significant correlation such that having a parent who was exposed to Agent Orange at any point in their life will increase one 's likelihood of either possessing or acting as a genetic carrier of birth defects . The most common deformation appears to be spina bifida . There is substantial evidence that the birth defects carry on for three generations or more . In 2012 , the United States and Vietnam began a cooperative cleaning up of the toxic chemical on part of Danang International Airport , marking the first time Washington has been involved in cleaning up Agent Orange in Vietnam . Effect on the United States United States expenditures in South Vietnam ( SVN ) ( 1953 -- 1974 ) Direct costs only . Some estimates are higher . U.S. military costs U.S. military aid to SVN U.S. economic aid to SVN Total Total ( 2015 dollars ) $111 billion $16.138 billion $7.315 billion $134.53 billion $1.020 trillion Vietnam War protests at the Pentagon , October 1967 In the post-war era , Americans struggled to absorb the lessons of the military intervention . As General Maxwell Taylor , one of the principal architects of the war , noted , `` First , we did n't know ourselves . We thought that we were going into another Korean War , but this was a different country . Secondly , we did n't know our South Vietnamese allies ... And we knew less about North Vietnam . Who was Ho Chi Minh ? Nobody really knew . So , until we know the enemy and know our allies and know ourselves , we 'd better keep out of this kind of dirty business . It 's very dangerous . '' President Ronald Reagan coined the term `` Vietnam Syndrome '' to describe the reluctance of the American public and politicians to support further international interventions after Vietnam . According to a 2004 Gallup poll , 62 percent of Americans believed it was an unjust war . Some have suggested that `` the responsibility for the ultimate failure of this policy ( America 's withdrawal from Vietnam ) lies not with the men who fought , but with those in Congress ... '' Alternatively , the official history of the United States Army noted that `` tactics have often seemed to exist apart from larger issues , strategies , and objectives . Yet in Vietnam the Army experienced tactical success and strategic failure ... The ... Vietnam War ... legacy may be the lesson that unique historical , political , cultural , and social factors always impinge on the military ... Success rests not only on military progress but on correctly analyzing the nature of the particular conflict , understanding the enemy 's strategy , and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of allies . A new humility and a new sophistication may form the best parts of a complex heritage left to the Army by the long , bitter war in Vietnam . '' A young Marine private waits on the beach during the Marine landing , Da Nang , 3 August 1965 U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger wrote in a secret memo to President Gerald Ford that `` in terms of military tactics , we can not help draw the conclusion that our armed forces are not suited to this kind of war . Even the Special Forces who had been designed for it could not prevail . '' Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara concluded that `` the achievement of a military victory by U.S. forces in Vietnam was indeed a dangerous illusion . '' Doubts surfaced as to the effectiveness of large - scale , sustained bombing . As Army Chief of Staff Harold Keith Johnson noted , `` if anything came out of Vietnam , it was that air power could n't do the job . '' Even General William Westmoreland admitted that the bombing had been ineffective . As he remarked , `` I still doubt that the North Vietnamese would have relented . '' The inability to bring Hanoi to the bargaining table by bombing also illustrated another U.S. miscalculation . The North 's leadership was composed of hardened communists who had been fighting for thirty years . They had defeated the French , and their tenacity as both nationalists and communists was formidable . Ho Chi Minh is quoted as saying , `` You can kill ten of my men for every one I kill of yours ... But even at these odds you will lose and I will win . '' Marine gets his wounds treated during operations in Huế City , 1968 The Vietnam War called into question the U.S. Army doctrine . Marine Corps General Victor H. Krulak heavily criticised Westmoreland 's attrition strategy , calling it `` wasteful of American lives ... with small likelihood of a successful outcome . '' In addition , doubts surfaced about the ability of the military to train foreign forces . Between 1953 and 1975 , the United States spent $168 billion on the war ( $1.02 trillion in FY2015 dollars ) . This resulted in a large federal budget deficit . More than 3 million Americans served in the Vietnam War , some 1.5 million of whom actually saw combat in Vietnam . James E. Westheider wrote that `` At the height of American involvement in 1968 , for example , there were 543,000 American military personnel in Vietnam , but only 80,000 were considered combat troops . '' Conscription in the United States had been controlled by the president since World War II , but ended in 1973 . By war 's end , 58,220 American soldiers had been killed , more than 150,000 had been wounded , and at least 21,000 had been permanently disabled . The average age of the U.S. troops killed in Vietnam was 23.11 years . According to Dale Kueter , `` Of those killed in combat , 86.3 percent were white , 12.5 percent were black and the remainder from other races . '' Approximately 830,000 Vietnam veterans suffered some degree of posttraumatic stress disorder . An estimated 125,000 Americans left for Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft , and approximately 50,000 American servicemen deserted . In 1977 , United States president Jimmy Carter granted a full and unconditional pardon to all Vietnam - era draft dodgers . The Vietnam War POW / MIA issue , concerning the fate of U.S. service personnel listed as missing in action , persisted for many years after the war 's conclusion . The costs of the war loom large in American popular consciousness ; a 1990 poll showed that the public incorrectly believed that more Americans lost their lives in Vietnam than in World War II . As of 2013 , the U.S. government is paying Vietnam veterans and their families or survivors more than $22 billion a year in war - related claims . Impact on the U.S. military As the Vietnam War continued inconclusively and became more unpopular with the American public , morale declined and disciplinary problems grew among American enlisted men and junior , non-career officers . Drug use , racial tensions , and the growing incidence of fragging -- attempting to kill unpopular officers and non-commissioned officers with grenades or other weapons -- created severe problems for the U.S. military and impacted its capability of undertaking combat operations . By 1971 , a U.S. Army colonel writing in the Armed Forces Journal declared : `` By every conceivable indicator , our army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse , with individual units avoiding or having refused combat , murdering their officers and non commissioned officers , drug - ridden , and dispirited where not near mutinous ... The morale , discipline , and battleworthiness of the U.S. Armed Forces are , with a few salient exceptions , lower and worse than at any time in this century and possibly in the history of the United States . '' Between 1969 and 1971 the US Army recorded more than 700 attacks by troops on their own officers . Eighty - three officers were killed and almost 650 were injured . Ron Milam has questioned the severity of the `` breakdown '' of the U.S. armed forces , especially among combat troops , as reflecting the opinions of `` angry colonels '' who deplored the erosion of traditional military values during the Vietnam War . Although acknowledging serious problems , he questions the alleged `` near mutinous '' conduct of junior officers and enlisted men in combat . Investigating one combat refusal incident , a journalist declared , `` A certain sense of independence , a reluctance to behave according to the military 's insistence on obedience , like pawns or puppets ... The grunts ( infantrymen ) were determined to survive ... they insisted of having something to say about the making of decisions that determined whether they might live or die . '' The morale and discipline problems and resistance to conscription ( the draft ) were important factors leading to the creation of an all - volunteer military force by the United States and the termination of conscription . The last conscript was inducted into the army in 1973 . The all - volunteer military moderated some of the coercive methods of discipline previously used to maintain order in military ranks . Effects of U.S. chemical defoliation U.S. helicopter spraying chemical defoliants in the Mekong Delta , South Vietnam , 1969 One of the most controversial aspects of the U.S. military effort in Southeast Asia was the widespread use of chemical defoliants between 1961 and 1971 . They were used to defoliate large parts of the countryside to prevent the Viet Cong from being able to hide their weapons and encampments under the foliage . These chemicals continue to change the landscape , cause diseases and birth defects , and poison the food chain . Early in the American military effort , it was decided that since the enemy were hiding their activities under triple - canopy jungle , a useful first step might be to defoliate certain areas . This was especially true of growth surrounding bases ( both large and small ) in what became known as Operation Ranch Hand . Corporations like Dow Chemical Company and Monsanto were given the task of developing herbicides for this purpose . American officials also pointed out that the British had previously used 2 , 4 , 5 - T and 2 , 4 - D ( virtually identical to America 's use in Vietnam ) on a large scale throughout the Malayan Emergency in the 1950s in order to destroy bushes , crops , and trees in effort to deny communist insurgents the concealment they needed to ambush passing convoys . Indeed , Secretary of State Dean Rusk told President John F. Kennedy on 24 November 1961 , that `` ( t ) he use of defoliant does not violate any rule of international law concerning the conduct of chemical warfare and is an accepted tactic of war . Precedent has been established by the British during the emergency in Malaya in their use of aircraft for destroying crops by chemical spraying . '' Handicapped children in Vietnam , most of them victims of Agent Orange , 2004 The defoliants , which were distributed in drums marked with color - coded bands , included the `` Rainbow Herbicides '' -- Agent Pink , Agent Green , Agent Purple , Agent Blue , Agent White , and , most famously , Agent Orange , which included dioxin as a by - product of its manufacture . About 11 -- 12 million gallons ( 41.6 -- 45.4 million L ) of Agent Orange were sprayed over southern Vietnam between 1961 and 1971 . A prime area of Ranch Hand operations was in the Mekong Delta , where the U.S. Navy patrol boats were vulnerable to attack from the undergrowth at the water 's edge . In 1961 and 1962 , the Kennedy administration authorized the use of chemicals to destroy rice crops . Between 1961 and 1967 , the U.S. Air Force sprayed 20 million U.S. gallons ( 75,700,000 L ) of concentrated herbicides over 6 million acres ( 24,000 km ) of crops and trees , affecting an estimated 13 % of South Vietnam 's land . In 1965 , 42 % of all herbicide was sprayed over food crops . Another purpose of herbicide use was to drive civilian populations into RVN - controlled areas . Vietnamese victims affected by Agent Orange attempted a class action lawsuit against Dow Chemical and other US chemical manufacturers , but District Court Judge Jack B. Weinstein dismissed their case . They appealed , but the dismissal was cemented in February 2008 by the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit . As of 2006 , the Vietnamese government estimates that there are over 4,000,000 victims of dioxin poisoning in Vietnam , although the United States government denies any conclusive scientific links between Agent Orange and the Vietnamese victims of dioxin poisoning . In some areas of southern Vietnam , dioxin levels remain at over 100 times the accepted international standard . The U.S. Veterans Administration has listed prostate cancer , respiratory cancers , multiple myeloma , Diabetes mellitus type 2 , B - cell lymphomas , soft - tissue sarcoma , chloracne , porphyria cutanea tarda , peripheral neuropathy , and spina bifida in children of veterans exposed to Agent Orange .

After 1975 7 n.a. Total 58,220 > 254,256 Estimates of the number of casualties vary , with one source suggesting up to 3.8 million violent war deaths in Vietnam for the period 1955 to 2002 . Between 195,000 and 430,000 South Vietnamese civilians died in the war . Extrapolating from a 1969 US intelligence report , Guenter Lewy estimated 65,000 North Vietnamese civilians died in the war . Estimates of civilian deaths caused by American bombing of North Vietnam in Operation Rolling Thunder range from 52,000 to 182,000 . The military forces of South Vietnam suffered an estimated 254,256 killed between 1960 and 1974 and additional deaths from 1954 to 1959 and in 1975 . The official US Department of Defense figure was 950,765 communist forces killed in Vietnam from 1965 to 1974 . Defense Department officials believed that these body count figures need to be deflated by 30 percent . In addition , Guenter Lewy assumes that one - third of the reported `` enemy '' killed may have been civilians , concluding that the actual number of deaths of communist military forces was probably closer to 444,000 . It was difficult to distinguish between civilians and military personnel on the Viet Cong side as many persons were part - time guerrillas or impressed laborers who did not wear uniforms . A detailed demographic study calculated 791,000 -- 1,141,000 war - related deaths for all of Vietnam . According to figures released by the Vietnamese government in 1995 , there were 1,100,000 North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong military personnel deaths during the Vietnam War ( including the missing ) . The Vietnamese government released its estimate of war deaths for the more lengthy period of 1955 to 1975 . According to the Vietnamese , Communist battle deaths totaled 1.1 million and civilian deaths of Vietnamese totaled 2.0 million . These estimates probably include battle deaths of Vietnamese soldiers in Laos and Cambodia , but do not include deaths of South Vietnamese and allied soldiers which would add nearly 300,000 for a grand total of 3.4 million military and civilian dead . Between 240,000 and 300,000 Cambodians died during the war . 20,000 -- 62,000 Laotians also died , and 58,222 U.S. military personnel were killed , of which 1,596 are still listed as missing as of 2015 . Unexploded ordnance , mostly from U.S. bombing , continue to detonate and kill people today . According to the Vietnamese government , ordnance has killed some 42,000 people since the war officially ended . According to the government of Laos , unexploded ordnance has killed or injured over 20,000 Laotians since the end of the war . In popular culture See also : Vietnam War in film , Vietnam War in games , and War in popular culture The Vietnam War has been featured extensively in television , film , video games , and literature in the participant countries . In American popular culture , the `` Crazy Vietnam Veteran '' , who was suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder , became a common stock character after the war . One of the first major films based on the Vietnam War was John Wayne 's pro-war film , The Green Berets ( 1968 ) . Further cinematic representations were released during the 1970s and 1980s , including Michael Cimino 's The Deer Hunter ( 1978 ) , Francis Ford Coppola 's Apocalypse Now ( 1979 ) , Oliver Stone 's Platoon ( 1986 ) -- based on his service in the U.S. military during the Vietnam War , Stanley Kubrick 's Full Metal Jacket ( 1987 ) , Hamburger Hill ( 1987 ) , and Casualties of War ( 1989 ) . Later films would include We Were Soldiers ( 2002 ) and Rescue Dawn ( 2007 ) . The war also influenced a generation of musicians and songwriters in Vietnam and the United States , both anti-war and pro / anti-communist . The band Country Joe and the Fish recorded `` I - Feel - Like - I 'm - Fixin ' - To - Die Rag '' / The `` Fish '' Cheer in 1965 , and it became one of the most influential anti-Vietnam protest anthems . Many songwriters and musicians supported the anti-war movement , including Pete Seeger , Joan Baez , Peggy Seeger , Ewan MacColl , Barbara Dane , The Critics Group , Phil Ochs , John Lennon , Nina Simone , Neil Young , Tom Paxton , Jimmy Cliff and Arlo Guthrie . Commemoration On May 25 , 2012 , President Barack Obama issued a proclamation of the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War . On November 10 , 2017 , President Donald Trump issued a proclamation commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War .

In 1998 , after a high level review by the Department of Defense ( DoD ) and through the efforts of Richard B. Fitzgibbon 's family the start date of the Vietnam War according to the US government was officially changed to 1 November 1955 . U.S. government reports currently cite 1 November 1955 as the commencement date of the `` Vietnam Conflict '' , because this date marked when the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group ( MAAG ) in Indochina ( deployed to Southeast Asia under President Truman ) was reorganized into country - specific units and MAAG Vietnam was established .

The Tunku had been personally responsible for Malaya 's partisan support of the South Vietnamese regime in its fight against the Vietcong and , in reply to a Parliamentary question on 6 February 1962 , he had listed all the used weapons and equipment of the Royal Malaya Police given to Saigon . These included a total of 45,707 single - barrel shotguns , 611 armoured cars and smaller numbers of carbines and pistols . Writing in 1975 , he revealed that `` we had clandestinely been giving ' aid ' to Vietnam since early 1958 .

Vu Tuong : There is no reason to expect , and no evidence that I have seen to demonstrate , that the actual executions were less than planned ; in fact the executions perhaps exceeded the plan if we consider two following factors . First , this decree was issued in 1953 for the rent and interest reduction campaign that preceded the far more radical land redistribution and party rectification campaigns ( or waves ) that followed during 1954 -- 1956 . Second , the decree was meant to apply to free areas ( under the control of the Viet Minh government ) , not to the areas under French control that would be liberated in 1954 -- 1955 and that would experience a far more violent struggle . Thus the number of 13,500 executed people seems to be a low - end estimate of the real number . This is corroborated by Edwin Moise in his recent paper `` Land Reform in North Vietnam , 1953 -- 1956 '' presented at the 18th Annual Conference on SE Asian Studies , Center for SE Asian Studies , University of California , Berkeley ( February 2001 ) . In this paper Moise ( 7 -- 9 ) modified his earlier estimate in his 1983 book ( which was 5,000 ) and accepted an estimate close to 15,000 executions . Moise made the case based on Hungarian reports provided by Balazs , but the document I cited above offers more direct evidence for his revised estimate . This document also suggests that the total number should be adjusted up some more , taking into consideration the later radical phase of the campaign , the unauthorized killings at the local level , and the suicides following arrest and torture ( the central government bore less direct responsibility for these cases , however ) . cf .

A study by Jacqueline Desbarats and Karl D. Jackson estimated that 65,000 South Vietnamese were executed for political reasons between 1975 and 1983 , based on a survey of 615 Vietnamese refugees who claimed to have personally witnessed 47 executions . However , `` their methodology was reviewed and criticized as invalid by authors Gareth Porter and James Roberts . '' 16 of the 47 names used to extrapolate this `` bloodbath '' were duplicates ; this extremely high duplication rate ( 34 % ) strongly suggests Desbarats and Jackson were drawing from a small number of total executions . Rather than arguing that this duplication rate proves there were very few executions in post-war Vietnam , Porter and Roberts suggest it is an artifact of the self - selected nature of the participants in the Desbarats - Jackson study , as the authors followed subjects 's recommendations on other refugees to interview .

who were we fighting against in the vietnam war
[ "The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War,[63] and in Vietnam as the Resistance War Against America (Vietnamese: Kháng chiến chống Mỹ) or simply the American War, was a conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955[A 1] to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975.

Abstract (summary)
Abstract ( summary ) - wikipedia Abstract ( summary ) An abstract is a brief summary of a research article , thesis , review , conference proceeding , or any in - depth analysis of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper 's purpose . When used , an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript or typescript , acting as the point - of - entry for any given academic paper or patent application . Abstracting and indexing services for various academic disciplines are aimed at compiling a body of literature for that particular subject . The terms précis or synopsis are used in some publications to refer to the same thing that other publications might call an `` abstract '' . In management reports , an executive summary usually contains more information ( and often more sensitive information ) than the abstract does . Contents ( hide ) 1 Purpose and limitations 2 Copyright 3 Structure 3.1 Example 4 Abstract types 4.1 Informative 4.2 Descriptive 5 Graphical abstracts 6 Abstract quality assessment 7 See also 8 References Purpose and limitations ( edit ) Academic literature uses the abstract to succinctly communicate complex research . An abstract may act as a stand - alone entity instead of a full paper . As such , an abstract is used by many organizations as the basis for selecting research that is proposed for presentation in the form of a poster , platform / oral presentation or workshop presentation at an academic conference . Most literature database search engines index only abstracts rather than providing the entire text of the paper . Full texts of scientific papers must often be purchased because of copyright and / or publisher fees and therefore the abstract is a significant selling point for the reprint or electronic form of the full text . The abstract can convey the main results and conclusions of a scientific article but the full text article must be consulted for details of the methodology , the full experimental results , and a critical discussion of the interpretations and conclusions . An abstract allows one to sift through copious numbers of papers for ones in which the researcher can have more confidence that they will be relevant to his or her research . Once papers are chosen based on the abstract , they must be read carefully to be evaluated for relevance . It is generally agreed that one must not base reference citations on the abstract alone , but the content of an entire paper . According to the results of a study published in PLOS Medicine , the `` exaggerated and inappropriate coverage of research findings in the news media '' is ultimately related to inaccurately reporting or over-interpreting research results in many abstract conclusions . A study published in JAMA concluded that `` inconsistencies in data between abstract and body and reporting of data and other information solely in the abstract are relatively common and that a simple educational intervention directed to the author is ineffective in reducing that frequency . '' Other `` studies comparing the accuracy of information reported in a journal abstract with that reported in the text of the full publication have found claims that are inconsistent with , or missing from , the body of the full article . '' Copyright ( edit ) Abstracts are protected under copyright law just as any other form of written speech is protected . However , publishers of scientific articles invariably make abstracts freely available , even when the article itself is not . For example , articles in the biomedical literature are available publicly from MEDLINE which is accessible through PubMed . Structure ( edit ) An academic abstract typically outlines four elements relevant to the completed work : The research focus ( i.e. statement of the problem ( s ) / research issue ( s ) addressed ) ; The research methods used ( experimental research , case studies , questionnaires , etc . ) ; The results / findings of the research ; and The main conclusions and recommendations It may also contain brief references , although some publications ' standard style omits references from the abstract , reserving them for the article body ( which , by definition , treats the same topics but in more depth ) . Abstract length varies by discipline and publisher requirements . Typical length ranges from 100 to 500 words , but very rarely more than a page and occasionally just a few words . An abstract may or may not have the section title of `` abstract '' explicitly listed as an antecedent to content . Abstracts are typically sectioned logically as an overview of what appears in the paper , with any of the following subheadings : Background , Introduction , Objectives , Methods , Results , Conclusions . Abstracts in which these subheadings are explicitly given are often called structured abstracts by publishers . In articles that follow the IMRAD pattern ( especially original research , but sometimes other article types ) , structured abstract style is the norm . ( The `` A '' of abstract may be added to `` IMRAD '' yielding `` AIMRAD '' . ) Abstracts that comprise one paragraph ( no explicit subheadings ) are often called unstructured abstracts by publishers . They are often appropriate for review articles that do n't follow the IMRAD pattern within their bodies . Example ( edit ) Example taken from the Journal of Biology , Volume 3 , Issue 2. : The hydrodynamics of dolphin drafting by Daniel Weihs , Faculty of Aerospace Engineering , Technion , Israel Institute of Technology , Haifa 32000 , Israel . Abstract : Background Drafting in cetaceans is defined as the transfer of forces between individuals without actual physical contact between them . This behavior has long been surmised to explain how young dolphin calves keep up with their rapidly moving mothers . It has recently been observed that a significant number of calves become permanently separated from their mothers during chases by tuna vessels . A study of the hydrodynamics of drafting , initiated inmechanisms causing the separation of mothers and calves during fishing - related activities , is reported here . Results Quantitative results are shown for the forces and moments around a pair of unequally sized dolphin - like slender bodies . These include two major effects . First , the so - called Bernoulli suction , which stems from the fact that the local pressure drops in areas of high speed , results in an attractive force between mother and calf . Second is the displacement effect , in which the motion of the mother causes the water in front to move forwards and radially outwards , and water behind the body to move forwards to replace the animal 's mass . Thus , the calf can gain a ' free ride ' in the forward - moving areas . Utilizing these effects , the neonate can gain up to 90 % of the thrust needed to move alongside the mother at speeds of up to 2.4 m / s . A comparison with observations of eastern spinner dolphins ( Stenella longirostris ) is presented , showing savings of up to 60 % in the thrust that calves require if they are to keep up with their mothers . Conclusions A theoretical analysis , backed by observations of free - swimming dolphin schools , indicates that hydrodynamic interactions with mothers play an important role in enabling dolphin calves to keep up with rapidly moving adult school members . © 2004 Weihs ; licensee BioMed Central Ltd . This is an Open Access article : verbatim copying and redistribution of this article are permitted in all media for any purpose , provided this notice is preserved along with the article 's original URL Abstract types ( edit ) Informative ( edit ) The informative abstract , also known as the complete abstract , is a compendious summary of a paper 's substance including its background , purpose , methodology , results , and conclusion . Usually between 100 and 200 words , the informative abstract summarizes the paper 's structure , its major topics and key points . A format for scientific short reports that is similar to an informative abstract has been proposed in recent years . Informative abstracts may be viewed as standalone documents . Descriptive ( edit ) The descriptive abstract , also known as the limited abstract or the indicative abstract , provides a description of what the paper covers without delving into its substance . A descriptive abstract is akin to a table of contents in paragraph form . Graphical abstracts ( edit ) During the late 2000s , due to the influence of computer storage and retrieval systems such as the Internet , some scientific publications , primarily those published by Elsevier , started including graphical abstracts alongside the text abstracts . The graphic is intended to summarize or be an exemplar for the main thrust of the article . It is not intended to be as exhaustive a summary as the text abstract , rather it is supposed to indicate the type , scope , and technical coverage of the article at a glance . The use of graphical abstracts has been generally well received by the scientific community . Moreover , some journals also include video abstracts and animated abstracts made by the authors to easily explain their papers . Many scientific publishers currently encourage authors to supplement their articles with graphical abstracts , in the hope that such a convenient visual summary will facilitate readers with a clearer outline of papers that are of interest and will result in improved overall visibility of the respective publication . However , the validity of this assumption have not been thoroughly studied , and a recent study statistically comparing publications with or without graphical abstracts with regard to several output parameters reflecting visibility failed to demonstrate an effectiveness of graphical abstracts for attracting attention to scientific publications . Abstract quality assessment ( edit ) Various methods can be used to evaluate abstract quality , e.g. rating by readers , checklists ( not necessary in structured abstracts ) , and readability measures ( such as Flesch Reading Ease ) .

2018 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby
2018 Major League Baseball home run derby - wikipedia 2018 Major League Baseball home run derby 2018 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby Date July 16 , 2018 Venue Nationals Park City Washington , D.C. Winner Bryce Harper Score 19 -- 18 ← 2017 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby 2019 → The 2018 Major League Baseball Home Run Derby was a home run hitting contest between eight batters from Major League Baseball ( MLB ) . The derby was held on July 16 , 2018 , at Nationals Park in Washington , D.C. , the site of the 2018 MLB All - Star Game . On July 11 , the participants were announced . Bryce Harper was the winner , as he beat Kyle Schwarber , in the final 19 -- 18 , winning the derby in front of his hometown crowd . He tied Schwarber on the last pitch as time expired in regulation ; then won it with 16 seconds left in bonus time . A controversy aroused on Twitter among viewers that Harper 's father pitched before the previous pitch landed , which is a violation of the rules . Other users argued with them that multiple other contestants were also breaking the rules . Rules ( edit ) Eight players participate in the derby in a bracket - style , single - elimination timed event . Each player has four minutes to hit as many home runs as possible . Hitters are awarded an additional 30 seconds if they hit two home runs over 440 feet ( 130 m ) . Hitters are also allowed one 45 second timeout to stop the clock ( two in the finals ) . Homers hit off a T - Mobile Ball during the final minute result in a $10,000 donation to charity by T - Mobile & MLB , to Team Rubicon . The eight competing players are seeded 1 - 8 based on their home run totals . While the lower seed hits first , the higher seed hits second in all rounds . The round ends if the higher seed exceeds the total of the first hitter . In the event of a tie , three sets of tiebreakers are employed : first , a 90 - second swing - off ( with no timeouts nor bonus time awarded ) ; second , each player gets three swings ; whoever hits more home runs in the three swings will be declared the winner ; thereafter , sudden death swings will occur until the tie is broken .

Sweet potato
Sweet potato - wikipedia Sweet potato Jump to : navigation , search It has been suggested that Roasted sweet potato be merged into this article . ( Discuss ) Proposed since February 2017 . Sweet potato Sweet potato in flower in Hong Kong Sweet potato tubers Scientific classification Kingdom : Plantae Clade : Angiosperms Clade : Eudicots Clade : Asterids Order : Solanales Family : Convolvulaceae Genus : Ipomoea Species : I. batatas Binomial name Ipomoea batatas ( L . ) Lam . The sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas ) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family , Convolvulaceae . Its large , starchy , sweet - tasting , tuberous roots are a root vegetable . The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens . The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) and does not belong to the nightshade family , Solanaceae , but both families belong to the same taxonomic order , the Solanales . The plant is a herbaceous perennial vine , bearing alternate heart - shaped or palmately lobed leaves and medium - sized sympetalous flowers . The edible tuberous root is long and tapered , with a smooth skin whose color ranges between yellow , orange , red , brown , purple , and beige . Its flesh ranges from beige through white , red , pink , violet , yellow , orange , and purple . Sweet potato cultivars with white or pale yellow flesh are less sweet and moist than those with red , pink or orange flesh . Ipomoea batatas is native to the tropical regions in the Americas . Of the approximately 50 genera and more than 1,000 species of Convolvulaceae , I. batatas is the only crop plant of major importance -- some others are used locally ( e.g. I. aquatica `` kangkong '' ) , but many are poisonous . The genus Ipomoea that contains the sweet potato also includes several garden flowers called morning glories , though that term is not usually extended to Ipomoea batatas . Some cultivars of Ipomoea batatas are grown as ornamental plants under the name tuberous morning glory , used in a horticultural context . Sweet potatoes with different skin colors Contents ( hide ) 1 Naming 2 Origin , distribution and diversity 2.1 Transgenicity 3 Cultivation 3.1 Yields 3.2 Diseases 3.3 Production 4 Nutrient content 4.1 Comparison to other food staples 5 Culinary uses 5.1 Africa 5.2 Asia 5.3 North America 5.4 New Zealand 6 Other 6.1 Nonculinary uses 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Naming ( edit ) See also : List of sweet potato cultivars Although the soft , orange sweet potato is often called a `` yam '' in parts of North America , the sweet potato is botanically very distinct from a genuine yam ( Dioscorea ) , which is native to Africa and Asia and belongs to the monocot family Dioscoreaceae . To add to the confusion , a different crop plant , the oca ( Oxalis tuberosa , a species of wood sorrel ) , is called a `` yam '' in many parts of Polynesia , including New Zealand . Although the sweet potato is not closely related botanically to the common potato , they have a shared etymology . The first Europeans to taste sweet potatoes were members of Christopher Columbus 's expedition in 1492 . Later explorers found many cultivars under an assortment of local names , but the name which stayed was the indigenous Taino name of batata . The Spanish combined this with the Quechua word for potato , papa , to create the word patata for the common potato . In Argentina , Venezuela , Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic the sweet potato is called batata . In Mexico , Peru , Chile , Central America , and the Philippines , the sweet potato is known as camote ( alternatively spelled kamote in the Philippines ) , derived from the Nahuatl word camotli . In Peru , the Quechua name for a type of sweet potato is kumar , strikingly similar to the Polynesian name kumara and its regional Oceanic cognates ( kumala , umala , ' uala , etc . ) , which has led some scholars to suspect an instance of pre-Columbian trans - oceanic contact . In New Zealand , the most common cultivar is the red ( purple ) cultivar called kumara , a name derived from the Māori name kūmara , but orange ( ' Beauregard ' ) and gold cultivars are also available . Kumara is particularly popular as a roasted food , or in contemporary cuisine as kumara chips , often served with sour cream and sweet chili sauce . Occasionally , shops in Australia will label purple cultivars as `` purple sweet potato '' to denote the difference to the other cultivars . About 95 % of Australia 's production is of the orange cultivar named ' Beauregard ' , originally from North America , known simply as `` sweet potato '' . A reddish - purple cultivar , ' Northern Star ' , is 4 % of production and is sold as `` kumara '' . Origin , distribution and diversity ( edit ) The origin and domestication of sweet potato is thought to be in either Central America or South America . In Central America , sweet potatoes were domesticated at least 5,000 years ago . In South America , Peruvian sweet potato remnants dating as far back as 8000 BC have been found . One author postulated that the origin of I. batatas was between the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico and the mouth of the Orinoco River in Venezuela . The cultigen had most likely been spread by local people to the Caribbean and South America by 2500 BC . Strong supporting evidence was provided that the geographical zone postulated by Austin is the primary center of diversity . The much lower molecular diversity found in Peru -- Ecuador suggests this region should be considered as a secondary center of sweet potato diversity . The sweet potato was grown in Polynesia before western exploration . Sweet potato has been radiocarbon - dated in the Cook Islands to 1000 AD , and current thinking is that it was brought to central Polynesia around 700 AD , possibly by Polynesians who had traveled to South America and back , and spread across Polynesia to Hawaii and New Zealand from there . It is possible , however , that South Americans brought it to the Pacific , although this is unlikely as it was the Polynesians , and not the native South Americans , who had a strong maritime tradition . The theory that the plant could spread by floating seeds across the ocean is not supported by evidence . Another point is that the sweet potato in Polynesia is the cultivated Ipomoea batatas , which is generally spread by vine cuttings and not by seeds . Sweet potatoes are cultivated throughout tropical and warm temperate regions wherever there is sufficient water to support their growth . Due to a major crop failure , sweet potatoes were introduced to Fujian province of China in about 1594 from Luzon . The growing of sweet potatoes was encouraged by the Governor Chin Hsüeh - tseng ( Jin Xuezeng ) . Sweet potatoes were introduced as a food crop in Japan , and by 1735 were planted in Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune 's private garden . It was also introduced to Korea in 1764 . Sweet potatoes became popular very early in the islands of the Pacific Ocean , spreading from Polynesia to Japan and the Philippines . One reason is that they were a reliable crop in cases of crop failure of other staple foods because of typhoon flooding . They are featured in many favorite dishes across Asia and North America . Sweet potato , also known as kelang in Tulu , is part of Udupi cuisine in South India . Uganda ( the second largest grower after China ) , Rwanda , and some other African countries also grow a large crop which is an important part of their peoples ' diets . The New World , the original home of the sweet potato , grows less than three percent ( 3 % ) of the world 's supply . Europe has only a very small sweet potato production , mainly in Portugal . In the Caribbean , a cultivar of the sweet potato called the boniato is popular . The flesh of the boniato is cream - colored , unlike the more popular orange hue seen in other cultivars . Boniatos are not as sweet and moist as other sweet potatoes , but many people prefer their fluffier consistency and more delicate flavor . Sweet potatoes have been an important part of the diet in the United States for most of its history , especially in the Southeast . From the middle of the 20th century , however , they have become less popular . The average per capita consumption of sweet potatoes in the United States is only about 1.5 -- 2 kg ( 3.3 -- 4.4 lb ) per year , down from 13 kg ( 29 lb ) in 1920 . Southerner Kent Wrench writes : `` The Sweet Potato became associated with hard times in the minds of our ancestors and when they became affluent enough to change their menu , the potato was served less often . '' Transgenicity ( edit ) A study published in 2015 by scientists from Ghent University and the International Potato Center found that the genome of cultivated sweet potatoes contains sequences of DNA from Agrobacterium , with genes being actively expressed by the plants . The discovery of the transgenes was made while performing metagenomic analysis of the sweet potato genome for viral diseases . Transgenes were observed both in the sweet potato 's closely related wild relatives , and also were found in more distantly related wild species . This observation makes cultivated sweet potatoes the first known example of a naturally transgenic food crop .

Source : USDA Nutrient Database The plant does not tolerate frost . It grows best at an average temperature of 24 ° C ( 75 ° F ) , abundant sunshine and warm nights . Annual rainfalls of 750 -- 1,000 mm ( 30 -- 39 in ) are considered most suitable , with a minimum of 500 mm ( 20 in ) in the growing season . The crop is sensitive to drought at the tuber initiation stage 50 -- 60 days after planting , and it is not tolerant to water - logging , as it may cause tuber rots and reduce growth of storage roots if aeration is poor . Soft , orange - fleshed cultivar of sweet potato Depending on the cultivar and conditions , tuberous roots mature in two to nine months . With care , early - maturing cultivars can be grown as an annual summer crop in temperate areas , such as the northern United States and China . Sweet potatoes rarely flower when the daylight is longer than 11 hours , as is normal outside of the tropics . They are mostly propagated by stem or root cuttings or by adventitious shoots called `` slips '' that grow out from the tuberous roots during storage . True seeds are used for breeding only . They grow well in many farming conditions and have few natural enemies ; pesticides are rarely needed . Sweet potatoes are grown on a variety of soils , but well - drained , light - and medium - textured soils with a pH range of 4.5 - 7.0 are more favorable for the plant . They can be grown in poor soils with little fertilizer . However , sweet potatoes are very sensitive to aluminum toxicity and will die about six weeks after planting if lime is not applied at planting in this type of soil . Because they are sown by vine cuttings rather than seeds , sweet potatoes are relatively easy to plant . Because the rapidly growing vines shade out weeds , little weeding is needed . A commonly used herbicide to rid the soil of any unwelcome plants that may interfere with growth is DCPA , also known as Dacthal . In the tropics , the crop can be maintained in the ground and harvested as needed for market or home consumption . In temperate regions , sweet potatoes are most often grown on larger farms and are harvested before first frosts . In the Southeastern United States , sweet potatoes are traditionally cured to improve storage , flavor , and nutrition , and to allow wounds on the periderm of the harvested root to heal . Proper curing requires drying the freshly dug roots on the ground for two to three hours , then storage at 29 -- 32 ° C ( 85 -- 90 ° F ) with 90 to 95 % relative humidity from five to fourteen days . Cured sweet potatoes can keep for thirteen months when stored at 13 -- 15 ° C ( 55 -- 59 ° F ) with > 90 % relative humidity . Colder temperatures injure the roots . Main article : Sweet potato storage Yields ( edit ) In 2010 , the world average annual yield for sweet potato crop was 13.2 tonnes per hectare . The most productive farms of sweet potato breeds were in Senegal , where the nationwide average annual yield was 33.3 tonnes per hectare . Yields as high as 80 metric tonnes per hectare have been reported from farms of Israel . Diseases ( edit ) Main article : List of sweet potato diseases Production ( edit ) According to the Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) statistics , world production in 2004 was 127 million tonnes . The majority comes from China , with a production of 105 million tonnes from 49,000 km ( 19,000 sq mi ) . About half of the Chinese crop is used for livestock feed . Per capita production is greatest in countries where sweet potatoes are a staple of human consumption , led by Papua New Guinea at about 500 kg ( 1,100 lb ) per person per year , the Solomon Islands at 160 kg ( 350 lb ) , Burundi and Rwanda at 130 kg ( 290 lb ) and Uganda at 100 kg ( 220 lb ) . About 20,000 tonnes of sweet potatoes are produced annually in New Zealand , where sweet potato is known by its Māori name , kūmara . It was a staple food for Māori before European contact . In the United States , North Carolina , the leading state in sweet potato production , provided 38.5 % of the 2007 U.S. production of sweet potatoes . In 2007 , California produced 23 % , Louisiana 15.9 % , and Mississippi 19 % of the U.S. total . Mississippi has about 150 farmers growing sweet potatoes on about 8,200 acres ( 30 km ) , contributing $19 million to the state 's economy . Mississippi 's top five sweet - potato - producing counties are Calhoun , Chickasaw , Pontotoc , Yalobusha , and Panola . The National Sweet Potato Festival is held annually the entire first week in November in Vardaman ( Calhoun County ) , which proclaims itself as `` The Sweet Potato Capital '' . Nutrient content ( edit ) Besides simple starches , raw sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates , dietary fiber and beta - carotene ( a provitamin A carotenoid ) , while having moderate contents of other micronutrients , including vitamin B , vitamin B and manganese ( table ) . When cooked by baking , small variable changes in micronutrient density occur to include a higher content of vitamin C at 24 % of the Daily Value per 100 g serving ( right table ) . The Center for Science in the Public Interest ranked the nutritional value of sweet potatoes as highest among several other foods . Sweet potato cultivars with dark orange flesh have more beta - carotene than those with light - colored flesh , and their increased cultivation is being encouraged in Africa where vitamin A deficiency is a serious health problem . A 2012 study of 10,000 households in Uganda found that children eating beta - carotene enriched sweet potatoes suffered less vitamin A deficiency than those not consuming as much beta - carotene . Comparison to other food staples ( edit ) The table below presents the relative performance of sweet potato to other staple foods .

By varying the proportions of the juices , every shade from pink to black can be obtained . Purple sweet potato color is used as food coloring . All parts of the plant are used for animal fodder . Sweet potatoes or camotes are often found in Moche ceramics . Several selections are cultivated in gardens as ornamental plants for their attractive foliage , including the dark - leafed cultivars ' Blackie ' and ' Ace of Spades ' and the chartreuse - foliaged ' Margarita ' . Cuttings of sweet potato vine , either edible or ornamental cultivars , will rapidly form roots in water and will grow in it , indefinitely , in good lighting with a steady supply of nutrients . For this reason , sweet potato vine is ideal for use in home aquariums , trailing out of the water with its roots submerged , as its rapid growth is fueled by toxic ammonia and nitrates , a waste product of aquatic life , which it removes from the water . This improves the living conditions for fish , which also find refuge in the vast root systems . Researchers at North Carolina State University are breeding sweet potato cultivars that would be grown primarily for biofuel production .

where did the first sweet potato come from
[ "One author postulated that the origin of I. batatas was between the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico and the mouth of the Orinoco River in Venezuela.[10] The cultigen had most likely been spread by local people to the Caribbean and South America by 2500 BC.[11] Strong supporting evidence was provided that the geographical zone postulated by Austin is the primary center of diversity.[10] The much lower molecular diversity found in Peru–Ecuador suggests this region should be considered as a secondary center of sweet potato diversity." ]

Illinois : The legal drinking age is 19 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Kansas : The legal drinking age is 18 for 3.2 % ABW beer , and 21 for beer stronger than 3.2 % ABW , wine and liquor . Maryland : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . North Carolina : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Oklahoma : The legal drinking age is 18 for 3.2 % ABW beer , and 21 for beer stronger than 3.2 % ABW , wine and liquor . South Carolina : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . South Dakota : The legal drinking age is 18 for 3.2 % ABW beer , and 21 for beer stronger than 3.2 % ABW , wine and liquor . Virginia : The legal drinking age is 18 for beer and wine , and 21 for liquor . Minimum legal drinking age as of 1983 ( one year before the Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed ) : Minimum age is 21 Minimum age is 20 Minimum age is 19 and 21 Minimum age is 19 Minimum age is 18 and 21 Minimum age is 18 The alcohol laws of the United States regarding minimum age for purchase have changed over time . The history is given in the table below . Unless otherwise noted , if different alcohol categories have different minimum purchase ages , the age listed below is set at the lowest age given ( e.g. if the purchase age is 18 for beer and 21 for wine or spirits , as was the case in several states , the age in the table will read as `` 18 '' , not `` 21 '' ) . In addition , the purchase age is not necessarily the same as the minimum age for consumption of alcoholic beverages , although they have often been the same . As one can see in the table below , there has been much volatility in the states ' drinking ages since the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 . Shortly after the ratification of the 21st amendment in December , most states set their purchase ages at 21 since that was the Voting age at the time . Most of these limits remained constant until the early 1970s . From 1969 to 1976 , some 30 states lowered their purchase ages , generally to 18 . This was primarily because the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971 with the 26th amendment . A lot of states started to lower their minimum drinking age in response , most of this occurring in 1972 or 1973 . Twelve states kept their purchase ages at 21 since repeal of Prohibition and never changed them . From 1976 to 1983 , several states voluntarily raised their purchase ages to 19 ( or , less commonly , 20 or 21 ) , in part to combat drunk driving fatalities . In 1984 , Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act , which required states to raise their ages for purchase and public possession to 21 by October 1986 or lose 10 % of their federal highway funds . By mid-1988 , all 50 states and the District of Columbia had raised their purchase ages to 21 ( but not Puerto Rico , Guam , or the Virgin Islands , see Additional Notes below ) . South Dakota and Wyoming were the final two states to comply with the age 21 mandate . The current drinking age of 21 remains a point of contention among many Americans , because of it being higher than the age of majority ( 18 in most states ) and higher than the drinking ages of most other countries . The National Minimum Drinking Age Act is also seen as a congressional sidestep of the tenth amendment . Although debates have not been highly publicized , a few states have proposed legislation to lower their drinking age , while Guam has raised its drinking age to 21 in July 2010 .

That is because the federal law is concerned only with purchase and public possession , not private consumption , and contains several exceptions . As of January 1 , 2007 , 14 states and the District of Columbia ban underage consumption outright , 19 states do not specifically ban underage consumption outright , and 17 states have family member or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws . Federal law explicitly provides for religious , medical , employment and private club possession exceptions ; as of 2005 , 31 states have family member or location exceptions to their underage possession laws . In the 1960s the age for buying or drinking beer and wine in the District of Columbia ( Washington , D.C. ) was 18 ; the age for hard liquor was 21 . Residents from Virginia and Maryland would often drive to D.C. to obtain alcohol . In Louisiana , the 1987 law raising the age from 18 to 21 was deliberately written solely to comply with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 to avoid losing highway funding , while still allowing 18 - to 20 - year - olds to drink as before . Not only did it still allow 18 - to 20 - year - olds to consume in private , it contained a major loophole allowing bars and stores to sell alcohol to 18 - to 20 - year - olds without penalty ( despite purchase being technically illegal ) which meant that the de facto age was still 18 . In other words , the drinking age was 21 only on paper . This loophole was closed in 1995 , but in 1996 the Louisiana Supreme Court declared a drinking age of 21 unconstitutional . That briefly lowered the de jure purchase age to 18 , causing an uproar which prompted the Louisiana Supreme Court to reverse its decision , raising the age to 21 three months later . Other exceptions still remain to this day , including drinking in a private residence , and Louisiana still has some of the most liberal general alcohol laws of any state . Some states were `` dry '' well before national Prohibition was enacted in 1919 , in some cases since achieving statehood . Also , some states did not become fully `` wet '' until several years after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 ( e.g. Mississippi in 1966 ) . Since 1966 , all states and territories of the USA have been `` wet '' , but dry counties and towns still exist in some states .

Frankenstein
Frankenstein - wikipedia Frankenstein Jump to : navigation , search This article is about a novel by Mary Shelley . For the characters , see Victor Frankenstein and Frankenstein 's monster . For the historic German castles and other uses , see Frankenstein ( disambiguation ) . Frankenstein ; or , The Modern Prometheus Volume I , first edition Author Mary Shelley Country United Kingdom Language English Genre Gothic novel , Horror fiction , Soft science fiction Published 1818 ( Lackington , Hughes , Harding , Mavor & Jones ) Pages 280 Frankenstein ; or , The Modern Prometheus ( or simply , Frankenstein for short ) , is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley ( 1797 - 1851 ) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein , a young scientist who creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment . Shelley started writing the story when she was 18 , and the first edition of the novel was published anonymously in London in 1818 , when she was 20 . Her name first appeared on the second edition , published in France in 1823 . Shelley travelled through Europe in 1814 , journeying along the River Rhine in Germany with a stop in Gernsheim which is 17 km ( 10 mi ) away from Frankenstein Castle , where , two centuries before , an alchemist was engaged in experiments . Later , she travelled in the region of Geneva ( Switzerland ) -- where much of the story takes place -- and the topic of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions , particularly her lover and future husband , Percy Shelley . Mary , Percy , Lord Byron and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story . After thinking for days , Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made ; her dream later evolved into the novel 's story . Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement . At the same time , it is an early example of science fiction . Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story because , in contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction , the central character `` makes a deliberate decision '' and `` turns to modern experiments in the laboratory '' to achieve fantastic results . It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories , films and plays . Since the novel 's publication , the name `` Frankenstein '' has often been used to refer to the monster itself . This usage is sometimes considered erroneous , but usage commentators regard it as well - established and acceptable . In the novel , the monster is identified by words such as `` creature '' , `` monster '' , `` demon '' , `` wretch , '' `` abortion , '' and `` it '' . Speaking to Victor Frankenstein , the wretch refers to himself as `` the Adam of your labours '' , and elsewhere as someone who `` would have ( been ) your Adam '' , but is instead `` your fallen angel '' ( which ties to Lucifer in Paradise Lost , which the monster reads , and relates to the `` modern '' Prometheus of the book 's subtitle ) .

It takes place at an unspecified time in the 18th century , as the letters ' dates are given as `` 17 -- '' . Captain Walton 's introductory frame narrative ( edit ) The novel Frankenstein is written in epistolary form , documenting a fictional correspondence between Captain Robert Walton and his sister , Margaret Walton Saville . Walton is a failed writer and captain who sets out to explore the North Pole and expand his scientific knowledge in hopes of achieving fame . During the voyage , the crew spots a dog sled driven by a gigantic figure . A few hours later , the crew rescues a nearly frozen and emaciated man named Victor Frankenstein . Frankenstein has been in pursuit of the gigantic man observed by Walton 's crew . Frankenstein starts to recover from his exertion ; he sees in Walton the same obsession that has destroyed him , and recounts a story of his life 's miseries to Walton as a warning . The recounted story serves as the frame for Frankenstein 's narrative . Victor Frankenstein 's narrative ( edit ) Victor begins by telling of his childhood . Born in Naples , into a wealthy Genevan family , Victor and his brothers , Ernest and William , all three being sons of Alphonse Frankenstein by the former Caroline Beaufort , are encouraged to seek a greater understanding of the world through chemistry . As a young boy , Victor is obsessed with studying outdated theories that focus on simulating natural wonders . When Victor is five years old , his parents adopt Elizabeth Lavenza , the orphaned daughter of an expropriated Italian nobleman , with whom Victor later falls in love . ( During this period , Victor 's parents , Alphonse and Caroline , take in yet another orphan , Justine Moritz , who becomes William 's nanny . ) Weeks before he leaves for the University of Ingolstadt in Germany , his mother dies of scarlet fever ; Victor buries himself in his experiments to deal with the grief . At the university , he excels at chemistry and other sciences , soon developing a secret technique to impart life to non-living matter . Eventually , he undertakes the creation of a humanoid , but due to the difficulty in replicating the minute parts of the human body , Victor makes the Creature tall , about 8 feet ( 2.4 m ) in height and proportionally large . Despite his intentions , the beautiful creation of his dreams is instead hideous , with yellow eyes and skin that barely conceals the muscle tissue and blood vessels underneath . Repulsed by his work , Victor flees and dismisses him when it awakens . While wandering the streets , he meets his childhood friend , Henry Clerval , and takes Henry back to his apartment , fearful of Henry 's reaction if he sees the monster . Victor does not have to deal with that issue , however , because the monster has escaped . Victor falls ill from the experience and is nursed back to health by Henry . After a four - month recovery , he returns home when he learns of the murder of his brother William . Upon arriving in Geneva , Victor sees the Creature near the crime scene and climbing a mountain , leading him to believe his creation is responsible . Justine Moritz , William 's nanny , is convicted of the crime after William 's locket , which had contained a miniature portrait of Caroline , is found in her pocket . Victor is helpless to stop her from being hanged , as he knows no one would believe his story . Ravaged by grief and guilt , Victor retreats into the mountains . The Creature finds him and pleads for Victor to hear his tale . Intelligent and articulate , the Creature relates his first days of life , living alone in the wilderness and finding that people were afraid of and hated him due to his appearance , which led him to fear and hide from them . While living in an abandoned structure connected to a cottage , he grew fond of the poor family living there , and discreetly collected firewood for them . Secretly living among the family for months , the Creature learned to speak by listening to them and he taught himself to read after discovering a lost satchel of books in the woods . When he saw his reflection in a pool , he realized his physical appearance was hideous , and it terrified him as it terrifies normal humans . Nevertheless , he approached the family in hopes of becoming their friend . Initially he was able to befriend the blind father figure of the family , but the rest of them were frightened and they all fled their home , resulting in the Creature burning the cottage in a fit of rage . He then swore revenge on his creator for bringing him into a world that hated him . He traveled to Victor 's family estate using details from Victor 's journal , murdered William , and framed Justine . The Creature demands that Victor create a female companion like himself . He argues that as a living being , he has a right to happiness . The Creature promises that he and his mate will vanish into the South American wilderness , never to reappear , if Victor grants his request . Should Victor refuse his request , The Creature also threatens to kill Victor 's remaining friends and loved ones and not stop until he completely ruins him . Fearing for his family , Victor reluctantly agrees , with the Creature saying he will secretly watch over Victor 's progress . Clerval accompanies him to England , but they separate at Victor 's insistence at Perth , Scotland . Victor suspects that the Creature is following him . Working on the female creature on the Orkney Islands , he is plagued by premonitions of disaster , such as the female hating the Creature or becoming more evil than him , but more particularly the two creatures might lead to the breeding of a race that could plague mankind . He tears apart the unfinished female creature after he sees the Creature , who had indeed followed Victor , watching through a window . The Creature later confronts and tries to threaten Victor into working again , but Victor is convinced that the Creature is evil and that its mate would be evil as well , and the pair would threaten all humanity . Victor destroys his work and the Creature vows that he will `` be with ( him ) on ( his ) wedding night . '' Victor interprets this as a threat upon his life , believing that the Creature will kill him after finally becoming happy . When Victor lands in Ireland , he is soon imprisoned for Clerval 's murder , as the Creature had strangled Clerval to death and left the corpse to be found where his creator had arrived , causing the latter to suffer another mental breakdown in prison . After being acquitted , Victor returns home with his father , who has restored to Elizabeth some of her father 's fortune . In Geneva , Victor is about to marry Elizabeth and prepares to fight the Creature to the death , arming himself with pistols and a dagger . The night following their wedding , Victor asks Elizabeth to stay in her room while he looks for `` the fiend . '' While Victor searches the house and grounds , the Creature strangles Elizabeth to death . From the window , Victor sees the Creature , who tauntingly points at Elizabeth 's corpse ; Victor tries to shoot him , but the Creature escapes . After getting back to Geneva , Victor 's father , weakened by age and by the death of his precious Elizabeth , dies a few days later . Seeking revenge , Victor pursues the Creature to the North Pole , but collapses from exhaustion and hypothermia before he can find his quarry . Captain Walton 's concluding frame narrative ( edit ) At the end of Victor 's narrative , Captain Walton resumes the telling of the story , closing the frame around Victor 's recounting . A few days after the Creature vanished , the ship becomes trapped in pack ice and multiple crewmen die in the cold , before the rest of Walton 's crew insists on returning south once it is freed . Walton sees Victor 's story as a warning , and decides to turn the ship around . Victor dies shortly thereafter , but not before telling Walton to `` avoid ambition '' . Walton discovers the Creature on his ship , mourning over Victor 's body . The Creature tells Walton that Victor 's death has not brought him peace ; rather , his crimes have left him completely alone . The Creature vows to kill himself so that no others will ever know of his existence . Walton watches as the Creature drifts away on an ice raft that is soon lost in darkness and distance , never to be seen again .

Composition ( edit ) Draft of Frankenstein ( `` It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld my man completed ... '' ) `` How I , then a young girl , came to think of , and to dilate upon , so very hideous an idea ? '' -- Mary Shelley During the rainy summer of 1816 , the `` Year Without a Summer '' , the world was locked in a long cold volcanic winter caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 . Mary Shelley , aged 18 , and her lover ( and later husband ) Percy Bysshe Shelley , visited Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in Switzerland . The weather was consistently too cold and dreary that summer to enjoy the outdoor holiday activities they had planned , so the group retired indoors until dawn . Sitting around a log fire at Byron 's villa , the company amused themselves by reading German ghost stories translated into French from the book Fantasmagoriana , then Byron proposed that they `` each write a ghost story '' . Unable to think of a story , young Mary became anxious : `` Have you thought of a story ? I was asked each morning , and each morning I was forced to reply with a mortifying negative . '' During one evening in the middle of summer , the discussions turned to the nature of the principle of life . `` Perhaps a corpse would be re-animated '' , Mary noted , `` galvanism had given token of such things '' . It was after midnight before they retired , and unable to sleep , she became possessed by her imagination as she beheld the grim terrors of her `` waking dream '' . I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together . I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out , and then , on the working of some powerful engine , show signs of life , and stir with an uneasy , half vital motion . Frightful must it be ; for supremely frightful would be the effect of any human endeavour to mock the stupendous mechanism of the Creator of the world . In September 2011 , astronomer Donald Olson , after a visit to the Lake Geneva villa the previous year , and inspecting data about the motion of the moon and stars , concluded that her `` waking dream '' took place `` between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. '' on 16 June 1816 , several days after the initial idea by Lord Byron that they each write a ghost story . She began writing what she assumed would be a short story . With Percy Shelley 's encouragement , she expanded the tale into a full - fledged novel . She later described that summer in Switzerland as the moment `` when I first stepped out from childhood into life '' . Shelley wrote the first four chapters in the weeks following the suicide of her half - sister Fanny . Byron managed to write just a fragment based on the vampire legends he heard while travelling the Balkans , and from this John Polidori created The Vampyre ( 1819 ) , the progenitor of the romantic vampire literary genre . Thus two legendary horror tales originated from the conclave . The group talked about Enlightenment and Counter-Enlightenment ideas as well . Shelley believed the Enlightenment idea that society could progress and grow if political leaders used their powers responsibly ; however , she also believed the Romantic ideal that misused power could destroy society ( Bennett 36 -- 42 ) . Mary 's and Percy Bysshe Shelley 's manuscripts for the first three - volume edition in 1818 ( written 1816 -- 1817 ) , as well as Mary Shelley 's fair copy for her publisher , are now housed in the Bodleian Library in Oxford . The Bodleian acquired the papers in 2004 , and they belong now to the Abinger Collection . In 2008 , the Bodleian published a new edition of Frankenstein , edited by Charles E. Robinson , that contains comparisons of Mary Shelley 's original text with Percy Shelley 's additions and interventions alongside . Publication ( edit ) Mary Shelley by Richard Rothwell ( 1840 -- 41 ) Shelley completed her writing in April / May 1817 , and Frankenstein ; or , The Modern Prometheus was published on 1 January , 1818 by the small London publishing house Lackington , Hughes , Harding , Mavor , & Jones . It was issued anonymously , with a preface written for Mary by Percy Bysshe Shelley and with a dedication to philosopher William Godwin , her father . It was published in an edition of just 500 copies in three volumes , the standard `` triple - decker '' format for 19th - century first editions . The second edition of Frankenstein was published on 11 August 1822 in two volumes ( by G. and W.B. Whittaker ) following the success of the stage play Presumption ; or , the Fate of Frankenstein by Richard Brinsley Peake . This edition credited Mary Shelley as the book 's author on its title page . On 31 October 1831 , the first `` popular '' edition in one - volume appeared , published by Henry Colburn & Richard Bentley . This edition was heavily revised by Mary Shelley , partially to make the story less radical . It included a lengthy new preface by the author , presenting a somewhat embellished version of the genesis of the story . This edition is the one most widely published and read now , although a few editions follow the 1818 text . Some scholars prefer the original version , arguing that it preserves the spirit of Mary Shelley 's vision ( see Anne K. Mellor 's `` Choosing a Text of Frankenstein to Teach '' in the W.W. Norton Critical edition ) . In 2008 , a new edition of the novel , titled The Original Frankenstein , edited by Charles E. Robinson , was published . Robinson examined the original manuscript by Mary Shelley and noted the edits that Percy Bysshe Shelley made to it . Frankenstein and the monster ( edit ) The Creature ( edit ) Main article : Frankenstein 's monster An English editorial cartoonist conceives the Irish Fenian movement as akin to Frankenstein 's creature , in the wake of the Phoenix Park murders . Illustration from an 1882 issue of Punch Part of Frankenstein 's rejection of his creation is the fact that he does not give it a name , which causes a lack of identity . Instead it is referred to by words such as `` wretch '' , `` monster '' , `` creature '' , `` demon '' , `` devil '' , `` fiend '' , and `` it '' . When Frankenstein converses with the creature in Chapter 10 , he addresses it as `` vile insect '' , `` abhorred monster '' , `` fiend '' , `` wretched devil '' , and `` abhorred devil '' . During a telling of Frankenstein , Shelley referred to the creature as `` Adam '' . Shelley was referring to the first man in the Garden of Eden , as in her epigraph : Did I request thee , Maker , from my clay To mould Me man ? Did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me ? John Milton , Paradise Lost ( X . 743 -- 5 ) Although the creature would be described in later works as a composite of whole body parts grafted together from cadavers and reanimated by the use of electricity , this description is not entirely consistent with Shelley 's work ; both the use of electricity and the cobbled - together image of Frankenstein 's monster were more the result of James Whale 's popular 1931 film adaptation of the story , and other early motion - picture works based upon the creature . In Shelley 's original work , Dr. Frankenstein discovers a previously unknown but elemental principle of life , and that insight allows him to develop a method to imbue vitality into inanimate matter , though the exact nature of the process is left largely ambiguous . After a great deal of hesitation in exercising this power , the doctor spends two years painstakingly constructing the creature 's body ( one anatomical feature at a time , from raw materials supplied by `` the dissecting room and the slaughter - house '' ) , which he then brings to life using his unspecified process . The creature has often been mistakenly called `` Frankenstein '' . In 1908 one author said `` It is strange to note how well - nigh universally the term `` Frankenstein '' is misused , even by intelligent people , as describing some hideous monster `` . Edith Wharton 's The Reef ( 1916 ) describes an unruly child as an `` infant Frankenstein . '' David Lindsay 's `` The Bridal Ornament '' , published in The Rover , 12 June 1844 , mentioned `` the maker of poor Frankenstein . '' After the release of Whale 's cinematic Frankenstein , the public at large began speaking of the creature itself as `` Frankenstein '' . This also occurs in Frankenstein films , including Bride of Frankenstein ( 1935 ) and several subsequent films , as well as in film titles such as Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein . Furthermore , future renditions and adaptations of the story include an evil laboratory assistant Igor or Ygor , who does not actually exist within the original narrative . Victor Frankenstein 's surname ( edit ) Mary Shelley maintained that she derived the name Frankenstein from a dream - vision . Despite her public claims of originality , however , a number of other sources have been suggested as Shelley 's actual inspiration . The German name Frankenstein means `` stone of the Franks '' , and it is associated with various places in Germany , including Frankenstein Castle ( Burg Frankenstein ) in Darmstadt , Hesse , and Frankenstein Castle in Frankenstein , a town in the Palatinate . There is also a castle called Frankenstein in Bad Salzungen , Thuringia , and a municipality called Frankenstein in Saxony . Until 1945 , Ząbkowice Śląskie , now a city in Lower Silesian Voivodeship , Poland , was mainly populated by Germans and named Frankenstein in German , and was the site of a scandal involving gravediggers in 1606 , which has been suggested as an inspiration to the author . Finally , the name is borne by the aristocratic House of Franckenstein from Franconia . Radu Florescu argues that Mary and Percy Shelley visited Frankenstein Castle near Darmstadt in 1814 during their return to England from their elopement to Switzerland . It was at this castle that a notorious alchemist , Conrad Dippel , had experimented with human bodies , and Florescu reasons that Mary suppressed mention of her visit in order to maintain her public claim of originality . A literary essay by A. J. Day supports Florescu 's position that Mary Shelley knew of and visited Frankenstein Castle before writing her debut novel . Day includes details of an alleged description of the Frankenstein castle that exists in Mary Shelley 's ' lost ' journals . According to Jörg Heléne , the ' lost journals ' , as well as Florescu 's claims , can not be verified . Victor Frankenstein 's given name ( edit ) Main article : Victor Frankenstein A possible interpretation of the name Victor is derived from Paradise Lost by John Milton , a great influence on Shelley ( a quotation from Paradise Lost is on the opening page of Frankenstein and Shelley even has the monster himself read it ) . Milton frequently refers to God as `` the Victor '' in Paradise Lost , and Shelley sees Victor as playing God by creating life . In addition , Shelley 's portrayal of the monster owes much to the character of Satan in Paradise Lost ; indeed , the monster says , after reading the epic poem , that he empathizes with Satan 's role in the story . There are many similarities between Victor and Percy Shelley , Mary 's husband . Victor was a pen name of Percy Shelley 's , as in the collection of poetry he wrote with his sister Elizabeth , Original Poetry by Victor and Cazire . There is speculation that one of Mary Shelley 's models for Victor Frankenstein was Percy , who at Eton had `` experimented with electricity and magnetism as well as with gunpowder and numerous chemical reactions '' , and whose rooms at Oxford were filled with scientific equipment . Percy Shelley was the first - born son of a wealthy country squire with strong political connections and a descendant of Sir Bysshe Shelley , 1st Baronet of Castle Goring , and Richard Fitzalan , 10th Earl of Arundel . Victor 's family is one of the most distinguished of that republic and his ancestors were counselors and syndics . Percy had a sister named Elizabeth ; Victor had an adopted sister named Elizabeth . On 22 February 1815 , Mary Shelley gave birth to a baby two months prematurely , and the baby died two weeks later . Percy did not care about the condition of this premature infant and left with Claire , Mary 's stepsister , for a lurid affair . When Victor saw the creature come to life he fled the apartment , though the newborn creature approached him , as a child would a parent . The question of Victor 's responsibility to the creature is one of the main themes of the book . Modern Prometheus ( edit ) The Modern Prometheus is the novel 's subtitle ( though some modern editions now drop the subtitle , mentioning it only in an introduction ) . Prometheus , in later versions of Greek mythology , was the Titan who created mankind at the behest of Zeus . He made a being in the image of the gods that could have a spirit breathed into it . Prometheus taught man to hunt , read , and heal their sick , but after he tricked Zeus into accepting poor - quality offerings from humans , Zeus kept fire from mankind . Prometheus , being the creator , took back the fire from Zeus to give to man . When Zeus discovered this , he sentenced Prometheus to be eternally punished by fixing him to a rock of Caucasus , where each day an eagle would peck out his liver , only for the liver to regrow the next day because of his immortality as a god . He was intended to suffer alone for eternity , but eventually Heracles ( Hercules ) released him . Prometheus was also a myth told in Latin , but was a very different story . In this version Prometheus makes man from clay and water , again a very relevant theme to Frankenstein , as Victor rebels against the laws of nature ( how life is naturally made ) and as a result is punished by his creation . In 1910 , Edison Studios released the first motion - picture adaptation of Shelley 's story . The Titan in the Greek mythology of Prometheus parallels Victor Frankenstein . Victor 's work by creating man by new means reflects the same innovative work of the Titan in creating humans . Some have claimed that Mary Shelley saw Prometheus not as a hero but rather as something of a devil , and blamed him for bringing fire to man and thereby seducing the human race to the vice of eating meat ( fire brought cooking which brought hunting and killing ) . Byron was particularly attached to the play Prometheus Bound by Aeschylus , and Percy Shelley would soon write his own Prometheus Unbound ( 1820 ) . The term `` Modern Prometheus '' was actually coined by Immanuel Kant in reference to Benjamin Franklin and his experiments with electricity . Shelley 's sources ( edit ) Shelley incorporated a number of different sources into her work , one of which was the Promethean myth from Ovid . The influence of John Milton 's Paradise Lost , and Samuel Taylor Coleridge 's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner , are also clearly evident within the novel . Mary is likely to have acquired some ideas for Frankenstein 's character from Humphry Davy 's book Elements of Chemical Philosophy , in which he had written that `` science has ... bestowed upon man powers which may be called creative ; which have enabled him to change and modify the beings around him ... '' . References to the French Revolution run through the novel ; a possible source may lie in François - Félix Nogaret 's Le Miroir des événemens actuels , ou la Belle au plus offrant ( 1790 ) : a political parable about scientific progress featuring an inventor named Frankénsteïn who creates a life - sized automaton . Within the past thirty years or so , many writers and historians have attempted to associate several then popular natural philosophers ( now called physical scientists ) with Shelley 's work on account of several notable similarities . Two of the most notable natural philosophers among Shelley 's contemporaries were Giovanni Aldini , who made many public attempts at human reanimation through bio-electric Galvanism in London and Johann Konrad Dippel , who was supposed to have developed chemical means to extend the life span of humans . While Shelley was obviously aware of both these men and their activities , she makes no mention of or reference to them or their experiments in any of her published or released notes . Reception ( edit ) Illustration by Theodor von Holst from the frontispiece of the 1831 edition Frankenstein has been both well received and disregarded since its anonymous publication in 1818 . Critical reviews of that time demonstrate these two views , along with confused speculation as to the identity of the author . The Belle Assemblee described the novel as `` very bold fiction '' ( 139 ) . The Quarterly Review stated that `` the author has the power of both conception and language '' ( 185 ) . Sir Walter Scott , writing in Blackwood 's Edinburgh Magazine congratulated `` the author 's original genius and happy power of expression '' ( 620 ) , although he is less convinced about the way in which the monster gains knowledge about the world and language . The Edinburgh Magazine and Literary Miscellany hoped to see `` more productions from this author '' ( 253 ) . On the other hand , the Quarterly Review described it `` a tissue of horrible and disgusting absurdity '' . In two other reviews where the author is known as the daughter of William Godwin , the criticism of the novel makes reference to the feminine nature of Mary Shelley . The British Critic attacks the novel 's flaws as the fault of the author : `` The writer of it is , we understand , a female ; this is an aggravation of that which is the prevailing fault of the novel ; but if our authoress can forget the gentleness of her sex , it is no reason why we should ; and we shall therefore dismiss the novel without further comment '' ( 438 ) . The Literary Panorama and National Register attacks the novel as a `` feeble imitation of Mr. Godwin 's novels '' produced by the `` daughter of a celebrated living novelist '' ( 414 ) . Despite the reviews , Frankenstein achieved an almost immediate popular success . It became widely known especially through melodramatic theatrical adaptations -- Mary Shelley saw a production of Presumption ; or The Fate of Frankenstein , a play by Richard Brinsley Peake , in 1823 . A French translation appeared as early as 1821 ( Frankenstein : ou le Prométhée Moderne , translated by Jules Saladin ) . Critical reception of Frankenstein has been largely positive since the mid-20th century . Major critics such as M.A. Goldberg and Harold Bloom have praised the `` aesthetic and moral '' relevance of the novel , although there are also critics such as Germaine Greer , who criticized the novel as terrible due to technical and narrative defects ( such as it featuring three narrators that speak in the same way ) . In more recent years the novel has become a popular subject for psychoanalytic and feminist criticism : Lawrence Lipking states ' even the Lacanian subgroup of psychoanalytic criticism , for instance , has produced at least half a dozen discrete readings of the novel'The novel today is generally considered to be a landmark work of romantic and gothic literature , as well as science fiction .

[ "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (or simply, Frankenstein for short), is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797-1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition of the novel was published anonymously in London in 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared on the second edition, published in France in 1823." ]

Publishers Clearing House
Publishers Clearing House - wikipedia Publishers Clearing House Jump to : navigation , search Publishers Clearing House Type Private Industry Merchandising Founded 1953 ; 65 years ago ( 1953 ) Headquarters Jericho , New York , United States Key people Robin B. Smith ( chairman ) Andrew Goldberg ( president and CEO ) Revenue $840.6 million ( 2013 ) Number of employees 550 ( 2014 ) Website pch.com Publishers Clearing House ( PCH ) is a direct marketing company that markets merchandise and magazine subscriptions with sweepstakes , and prize - based games . Publishers Clearing House was founded in 1953 by Harold Mertz to replace door - to - door magazine subscription sales by a single vendor offering multiple subscriptions by mail . It introduced its sweepstakes in 1967 . In the early 1990s , the company was the subject of concerns and legal actions regarding whether consumers were misled about their odds of winning the sweepstakes and whether purchases increased their chances . By 2010 , the company had reached settlements with all 50 states . The company acquired search company Blingo in 2006 , online gaming company Funtank in 2010 , and mobile marketing company Liquid Wireless in 2012 .

The company started in Mertz 's basement with help from his wife LuEsther and daughter Joyce . Its first mailings were of 10,000 envelopes from Mertz 's home in Long Island , New York , and offered 20 magazine subscriptions. 100 orders were received . Within a few years the company moved out of Mertz 's basement into an office building and started hiring staff . When PCH moved its headquarters in 1969 , its prior location was donated to the city and renamed the Harold E. Mertz community center . The company revenue had grown to US $ 50 million by 1981 , and $100 million by 1988 . In 1967 PCH started its first sweepstakes as a way to increase subscription sales , based on the sweepstakes held by Reader 's Digest . The first prizes ranged from 25 cents to $10 and entrants had a 1 in 10 chance of winning . After the sweepstakes increased response rates to mailings , prizes of $5,000 and eventually $250,000 were offered . PCH began advertising the sweepstakes on TV in 1974 . It was the only major multi-magazine subscription business until 1977 . Former client Time Inc. and several other publishers formed American Family Publishers ( AFP ) to compete with PCH after the company refused repeated requests by Time for a larger share of sales revenue from magazine subscriptions . AFP and PCH competed for exclusive rights to magazines and for the better promotion and prize ideas . When AFP increased their jackpot to $1 million , then to $10 million in 1985 , PCH raised its prizes to match . $7 million in prizes were distributed by 1979 , $40 million by 1991 and $137 million by 2000 . In 1989 two members of its advertising team , Dave Sayer and Todd Sloane , started the Prize Patrol , a publicized event where winners are surprised with a check at their home . The idea was inspired by the 1950s television series `` The Millionaire '' . In 1992 thousands of discarded sweepstakes entries from contestants who had not bought magazine subscriptions were found in the trash by city employees , reinforcing beliefs that the company favored those who made purchases in selecting a sweepstakes winner . PCH said this was done by a disgruntled employee at their mail processing vendor . A class action ensued , which PCH settled by giving discarded entrants a second chance to win . Government regulation ( edit ) In the 1990s PCH and its primary competitor , AFP , experienced a series of legal troubles due to concerns that their mailings misled consumers about their odds of winning and implied that magazine purchases increased their chances . This led to the Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act of 2000 , which regulates direct mail businesses . At the senate hearings regarding this Act , PCH said most consumers were not confused about their chances of winning or that purchases did not increase their chances . The company said less than five percent of participants spend more than $300 . Government officials from California said 5,000 local consumers paid more than $2,500 each in magazine purchases under the false belief that they were increasing their odds of winning the sweepstakes . Industry sources estimated PCH 's response rates decreased by 7 - 12 percent and its sales volume by 22 to 30 percent in response to the bad publicity from the lawsuits . In 2000 , PCH laid off a quarter of its 800 - person work force . Lawsuits ( edit ) In 1994 PCH sent mailings telling recipients they were all `` finalists '' , which led to a lawsuit involving the attorneys general of 14 US states . Later that year , PCH denied wrongdoing , but agreed to pay a settlement of $490,000 and to change their practices . Under the agreement , PCH said it would define terms like `` finalist '' and disclose the chances of winning . In 1997 , a contestant of competitor AFP flew to Tampa , Florida , thinking he had won , though he had not . The resulting publicity caused more lawsuits for both companies . PCH reached a $30 million national settlement in 1999 . In 2000 , another $18 million settlement was reached with 24 states , after the company sent mass mailings that said `` You are a winner ! '' and used mock personalized checks . PCH agreed to avoid similar mailings in the future , and add a `` sweepstakes fact box '' to mailings . State attorneys spoke out against the national settlement from 2000 and additional lawsuits were filed by individual states . Another $34 million settlement was reached in 2001 in a lawsuit involving 25 states . As part of the settlement , PCH was required to avoid terms like `` Guaranteed Winner , '' add disclaimers to mailings saying that the recipient has not won and that purchasing merchandise wo n't increase their chances . PCH reached settlements with all fifty states and agreed to work with a `` compliance counsel . '' PCH apologized in the settlement and said it would contact customers who had spent more than $1,000 on merchandise the prior year `` . PCH also reached an agreement with Iowa in 2007 . In 2010 the company paid $3.5 million to the Attorneys General of 32 states and the District of Columbia to settle possible contempt charges that it had violated the terms of the 2001 agreement . The company denied wrongdoing , but agreed to work with both an ombudsperson and a compliance counsel who would review its mailings quarterly . In April 2014 , an investigation by the Senate Special Committee on Aging concluded that PCH had `` pushed the limits '' of prior agreements and that additional legislation may be needed . Online development ( edit ) PCH began selling merchandise in 1985 with two products . After a Hershey 's Chocolate Cookbook and a diet cookbook sold more than other products , the company began expanding into jewelry , media , collectibles , household products and others . The company also shifted its focus online . It began selling magazine subscriptions and merchandise on PCH.com in 1996 . In 2006 , it acquired Blingo Inc. , an ad - supported metasearch engine that was later re-branded as PCH Search and Win . PCH ran contests on Twitter , Facebook and Myspace . iPhone apps for slot games and trivia were developed . The company created online play - and - win sites like PCH Games ( formerly Candystand ) and PCHQuiz4Cash , with air - hockey and video poker games . In December 2010 , PCH acquired Funtank and its online gaming site Candystand.com . In 2011 , PCH promoted a `` $5,000 every week for life '' sweepstakes in TV ads and the front page of AOL.com . The following year the company acquired a mobile marketing company , Liquid Wireless . The company utilized , then stopped then started again utilizing coregistration ( through other websites ) to expand its customer base . In 2008 , a PCH spokesperson said the digital properties were intended to attract younger consumers . By 2013 , the internet had become PCH 's primary channel of interaction with consumers . The New York Times described the digital transition as `` part of an overall effort to collect information on Web users , show them advertisements and use the registration information for PCH 's mailing lists . '' Products ( edit ) A screenshot of PCHSearch&WIN.com PCH is a direct - marketing company that sells merchandise , magazine subscriptions and operates several prize - based websites . While best known for the sweepstakes and Prize Patrol it uses to promote its magazine subscriptions , the majority of the company 's revenue now comes from merchandise . The company has been selling books , media , jewelry and other consumer items since the 1980s . PCH operates eight websites , including PCH Search and Win , PCH Lotto , PCH Games , PCH Save and Win , and Candystand . The company also sells magazine subscriptions at a discount and advertises subscriptions along with its sweepstakes . It 's estimated that companies like PCH keep 75 - 90 percent of the fees from the original subscription , while publishers use the increased distribution to improve circulation numbers and revenue from renewals . PCH popularized the idea of using sweepstakes to sell magazine subscriptions in the direct - marketing market and became known by detractors as a producer of junk - mail for advertising through mass - mailings . Documents filed with the New York State Department in 1993 said that year the company mailed 220 million envelopes . Frequent buyers can receive 30 - 40 mailings a year . Sweepstakes ( edit ) The Prize Patrol delivering an oversized check to a sweepstakes winner for $1 million plus $5,000 a week for life Although PCH advertises its sweepstakes along with magazine subscriptions , no purchase is necessary to enter or win . In 1995 , PCH began the tradition of announcing winners of its $10 million prize just after the Super Bowl . As of 2012 , $225 million in prizes have been distributed . Some of its larger prizes are for $5,000 a week for life , or $10 million . Prizes can also range from $1 Amazon gift cards to $2,500 , $1 million or $3 million . The larger cash prizes are paid in installments , typically with a balloon payment at 30 years , reducing the present value of prizes to much less than their nominal values . Mr. Mikey Spencer from the Publishers Clearing House says that a cash payment is needed before they can deliver a prize . According to Mikey Spencer from PCH `` If you are contacted by anyone claiming to represent Publishers Clearing '' Contact him at 1 - 202 - 844 - 0318 . Odds of winning ( edit ) The odds of winning a PCH sweepstakes vary depending on the number of entries and what prize or sweepstakes is involved . According to the official rules , the estimated odds of winning the $1 million a year forever are one in 1.3 billion . As of 2017 , the odds of winning $15 million in Giveaway 8800 are 1 in 2.4 billion . Smaller prizes have better odds that may vary from one in 223 to one in 80,000 , depending on the prize . Prize Patrol ( edit ) The Prize Patrol surprises sweepstakes winners at their homes , work or other locations with cash prizes and captures the event on video . Since their introduction in 1989 , these reality TV - style videos of prize - winners surprised at their doorstep with checks for $1,000 to $10 million have been used in widely broadcast television commercials , and , more recently , in the company 's online acquisition efforts , websites and social media communications . In 2013 , a $5 million television campaign modified the traditional prize patrol commercial by digitally altering video from classic sitcoms like The Brady Bunch and Gilligan 's Island to show the prize patrol visiting characters in the show . The Prize Patrol has made in - person appearances or delivered prizes on TV programs such as The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Price Is Right .

Reflecting telescope
Reflecting telescope - wikipedia Reflecting telescope 24 inch convertible Newtonian / Cassegrain reflecting telescope on display at the Franklin Institute A reflecting telescope ( also called a reflector ) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image . The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century , by Isaac Newton , as an alternative to the refracting telescope which , at that time , was a design that suffered from severe chromatic aberration . Although reflecting telescopes produce other types of optical aberrations , it is a design that allows for very large diameter objectives . Almost all of the major telescopes used in astronomy research are reflectors . Reflecting telescopes come in many design variations and may employ extra optical elements to improve image quality or place the image in a mechanically advantageous position . Since reflecting telescopes use mirrors , the design is sometimes referred to as a `` catoptric '' telescope .

Soon after the invention of the refracting telescope , Galileo , Giovanni Francesco Sagredo , and others , spurred on by their knowledge of the principles of curved mirrors , discussed the idea of building a telescope using a mirror as the image forming objective . There were reports that the Bolognese Cesare Caravaggi had constructed one around 1626 and the Italian professor Niccolò Zucchi , in a later work , wrote that he had experimented with a concave bronze mirror in 1616 , but said it did not produce a satisfactory image . The potential advantages of using parabolic mirrors , primarily reduction of spherical aberration with no chromatic aberration , led to many proposed designs for reflecting telescopes . The most notable being James Gregory , who published an innovative design for a ' reflecting ' telescope in 1663 . It would be ten years ( 1673 ) , before the experimental scientist Robert Hooke was able to build this type of telescope , which became known as the Gregorian telescope . Isaac Newton has been generally credited with building the first reflecting telescope in 1668 . It used a spherically ground metal primary mirror and a small diagonal mirror in an optical configuration that has come to be known as the Newtonian telescope . Despite the theoretical advantages of the reflector design , the difficulty of construction and the poor performance of the speculum metal mirrors being used at the time meant it took over 100 years for them to become popular . Many of the advances in reflecting telescopes included the perfection of parabolic mirror fabrication in the 18th century , silver coated glass mirrors in the 19th century , long - lasting aluminum coatings in the 20th century , segmented mirrors to allow larger diameters , and active optics to compensate for gravitational deformation . A mid-20th century innovation was catadioptric telescopes such as the Schmidt camera , which use both a spherical mirror and a lens ( called a corrector plate ) as primary optical elements , mainly used for wide - field imaging without spherical aberration . The late 20th century has seen the development of adaptive optics and lucky imaging to overcome the problems of seeing , and reflecting telescopes are ubiquitous on space telescopes and many types of spacecraft imaging devices . Technical considerations ( edit ) Gran Telescopio Canarias A curved primary mirror is the reflector telescope 's basic optical element that creates an image at the focal plane . The distance from the mirror to the focal plane is called the focal length . Film or a digital sensor may be located here to record the image , or a secondary mirror may be added to modify the optical characteristics and / or redirect the light to film , digital sensors , or an eyepiece for visual observation . The primary mirror in most modern telescopes is composed of a solid glass cylinder whose front surface has been ground to a spherical or parabolic shape . A thin layer of aluminum is vacuum deposited onto the mirror , forming a highly reflective first surface mirror . Some telescopes use primary mirrors which are made differently . Molten glass is rotated to make its surface paraboloidal , and is kept rotating while it cools and solidifies . ( See Rotating furnace . ) The resulting mirror shape approximates a desired paraboloid shape that requires minimal grinding and polishing to reach the exact figure needed . Optical errors ( edit ) Reflecting telescopes , just like any other optical system , do not produce `` perfect '' images . The need to image objects at distances up to infinity , view them at different wavelengths of light , along with the requirement to have some way to view the image the primary mirror produces , means there is always some compromise in a reflecting telescope 's optical design . An image of Sirius A and Sirius B by the Hubble Space Telescope showing diffraction spikes and concentric diffraction rings . Because the primary mirror focuses light to a common point in front of its own reflecting surface almost all reflecting telescope designs have a secondary mirror , film holder , or detector near that focal point partially obstructing the light from reaching the primary mirror . Not only does this cause some reduction in the amount of light the system collects , it also causes a loss in contrast in the image due to diffraction effects of the obstruction as well as diffraction spikes caused by most secondary support structures . The use of mirrors avoids chromatic aberration but they produce other types of aberrations . A simple spherical mirror can not bring light from a distant object to a common focus since the reflection of light rays striking the mirror near its edge do not converge with those that reflect from nearer the center of the mirror , a defect called spherical aberration . To avoid this problem most reflecting telescopes use parabolic shaped mirrors , a shape that can focus all the light to a common focus . Parabolic mirrors work well with objects near the center of the image they produce , ( light traveling parallel to the mirror 's optical axis ) , but towards the edge of that same field of view they suffer from off axis aberrations : Coma - an aberration where point sources ( stars ) at the center of the image are focused to a point but typically appears as `` comet - like '' radial smudges that get worse towards the edges of the image . Field curvature - The best image plane is in general curved , which may not correspond to the detector 's shape and leads to a focus error across the field . It is sometimes corrected by a field flattening lens . Astigmatism - an azimuthal variation of focus around the aperture causing point source images off - axis to appear elliptical . Astigmatism is not usually a problem in a narrow field of view , but in a wide field image it gets rapidly worse and varies quadratically with field angle . Distortion - Distortion does not affect image quality ( sharpness ) but does affect object shapes . It is sometimes corrected by image processing . There are reflecting telescope designs that use modified mirror surfaces ( such as the Ritchey -- Chrétien telescope ) or some form of correcting lens ( such as catadioptric telescopes ) that correct some of these aberrations . Use in astronomical research ( edit ) Nearly all large research - grade astronomical telescopes are reflectors . There are several reasons for this : Reflectors work in a wider spectrum of light since certain wavelengths are absorbed when passing through glass elements like those found in a refractor or in a catadioptric telescope . In a lens the entire volume of material has to be free of imperfection and inhomogeneities , whereas in a mirror , only one surface has to be perfectly polished . Light of different wavelengths travels through a medium other than vacuum at different speeds . This causes chromatic aberration . Reducing this to acceptable levels usually involves a combination of two or three aperture sized lenses ( see achromat and apochromat for more details ) . The cost of such systems therefore scales significantly with aperture size . An image obtained from a mirror does not suffer from chromatic aberration to begin with , and the cost of the mirror scales much more modestly with its size . There are structural problems involved in manufacturing and manipulating large - aperture lenses . Since a lens can only be held in place by its edge , the center of a large lens will sag due to gravity , distorting the image it produces . The largest practical lens size in a refracting telescope is around 1 meter . In contrast , a mirror can be supported by the whole side opposite its reflecting face , allowing for reflecting telescope designs that can overcome gravitational sag . The largest reflector designs currently exceed 10 meters in diameter . Reflecting telescope designs ( edit ) Gregorian ( edit ) Main article : Gregorian telescope Light path in a Gregorian telescope . The Gregorian telescope , described by Scottish astronomer and mathematician James Gregory in his 1663 book Optica Promota , employs a concave secondary mirror that reflects the image back through a hole in the primary mirror . This produces an upright image , useful for terrestrial observations . Some small spotting scopes are still built this way . There are several large modern telescopes that use a Gregorian configuration such as the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope , the Magellan telescopes , the Large Binocular Telescope , and the Giant Magellan Telescope . Newtonian ( edit ) Light path in a Newtonian telescope . Main article : Newtonian telescope See also : Schmidt -- Newton telescope The Newtonian telescope was the first successful reflecting telescope , completed by Isaac Newton in 1668 . It usually has a paraboloid primary mirror but at focal ratios of f / 8 or longer a spherical primary mirror can be sufficient for high visual resolution . A flat secondary mirror reflects the light to a focal plane at the side of the top of the telescope tube . It is one of the simplest and least expensive designs for a given size of primary , and is popular with amateur telescope makers as a home - build project . The Cassegrain design and its variations ( edit ) Light path in a Cassegrain telescope . Main article : Cassegrain reflector The Cassegrain telescope ( sometimes called the `` Classic Cassegrain '' ) was first published in a 1672 design attributed to Laurent Cassegrain . It has a parabolic primary mirror , and a hyperbolic secondary mirror that reflects the light back down through a hole in the primary . Folding and diverging effect of the secondary creates a telescope with a long focal length while having a short tube length . Ritchey -- Chrétien ( edit ) Main article : Ritchey -- Chrétien telescope The Ritchey -- Chrétien telescope , invented by George Willis Ritchey and Henri Chrétien in the early 1910s , is a specialized Cassegrain reflector which has two hyperbolic mirrors ( instead of a parabolic primary ) . It is free of coma and spherical aberration at a nearly flat focal plane if the primary and secondary curvature are properly figured , making it well suited for wide field and photographic observations . Almost every professional reflector telescope in the world is of the Ritchey -- Chrétien design . Three - mirror anastigmat ( edit ) Main article : Three - mirror anastigmat Including a third curved mirror allows correction of the remaining distortion , astigmatism , from the Ritchey -- Chrétien design . This allows much larger fields of view . Dall -- Kirkham ( edit ) See also : Modified Dall -- Kirkham telescope The Dall -- Kirkham Cassegrain telescope 's design was created by Horace Dall in 1928 and took on the name in an article published in Scientific American in 1930 following discussion between amateur astronomer Allan Kirkham and Albert G. Ingalls , the magazine editor at the time . It uses a concave elliptical primary mirror and a convex spherical secondary . While this system is easier to grind than a classic Cassegrain or Ritchey -- Chrétien system , it does not correct for off - axis coma . Field curvature is actually less than a classical Cassegrain . Because this is less noticeable at longer focal ratios , Dall -- Kirkhams are seldom faster than f / 15 . Takahashi Mewlon telescopes are Dall - Kirkham instruments with f / 12 and are highly regarded . They require a corrector for wide field applications . Off - axis designs ( edit ) There are several designs that try to avoid obstructing the incoming light by eliminating the secondary or moving any secondary element off the primary mirror 's optical axis , commonly called off - axis optical systems . Herschelian ( edit ) Light paths Herschelian telescope Schiefspiegler telescope The Herschelian reflector is named after William Herschel , who used this design to build very large telescopes including a 49.5 inch ( 126 cm ) diameter telescope in 1789 . In the Herschelian reflector the primary mirror is tilted so the observer 's head does not block the incoming light . Although this introduces geometrical aberrations , Herschel employed this design to avoid the use of a Newtonian secondary mirror since the speculum metal mirrors of that time tarnished quickly and could only achieve 60 % reflectivity . Schiefspiegler ( edit ) A variant of the Cassegrain , the Schiefspiegler telescope ( `` skewed '' or `` oblique reflector '' ) uses tilted mirrors to avoid the secondary mirror casting a shadow on the primary . However , while eliminating diffraction patterns this leads to an increase in coma and astigmatism . These defects become manageable at large focal ratios -- most Schiefspieglers use f / 15 or longer , which tends to restrict useful observation to the moon and planets . A number of variations are common , with varying numbers of mirrors of different types . The Kutter ( named after its inventor Anton Kutter ) style uses a single concave primary , a convex secondary and a plano - convex lens between the secondary mirror and the focal plane , when needed ( this is the case of the catadioptric Schiefspiegler ) . One variation of a multi-schiefspiegler uses a concave primary , convex secondary and a parabolic tertiary . One of the interesting aspects of some Schiefspieglers is that one of the mirrors can be involved in the light path twice -- each light path reflects along a different meridional path . Stevick - Paul ( edit ) Stevick - Paul telescopes are off - axis versions of Paul 3 - mirror systems with an added flat diagonal mirror . A convex secondary mirror is placed just to the side of the light entering the telescope , and positioned afocally so as to send parallel light on to the tertiary . The concave tertiary mirror is positioned exactly twice as far to the side of the entering beam as was the convex secondary , and its own radius of curvature distant from the secondary . Because the tertiary mirror receives parallel light from the secondary , it forms an image at its focus . The focal plane lies within the system of mirrors , but is accessible to the eye with the inclusion of a flat diagonal . The Stevick - Paul configuration results in all optical aberrations totaling zero to the third - order , except for the Petzval surface which is gently curved . Yolo ( edit ) The Yolo was developed by Arthur S. Leonard in the mid-1960s . Like the Schiefspiegler , it is an unobstructed , tilted reflector telescope . The original Yolo consists of a primary and secondary concave mirror , with the same curvature , and the same tilt to the main axis . Most Yolos use toroidal reflectors . The Yolo design eliminates coma , but leaves significant astigmatism , which is reduced by deformation of the secondary mirror by some form of warping harness , or alternatively , polishing a toroidal figure into the secondary . Like Schiefspieglers , many Yolo variations have been pursued . The needed amount of toroidal shape can be transferred entirely or partially to the primary mirror . In large focal ratios optical assemblies , both primary and secondary mirror can be left spherical and a spectacle correcting lens is added between the secondary mirror and the focal plane ( catadioptric Yolo ) . The addition of a convex , long focus tertiary mirror leads to Leonard 's Solano configuration . The Solano telescope does n't contain any toric surfaces . Liquid mirror telescopes ( edit ) Main article : Liquid mirror telescope One design of telescope uses a rotating mirror consisting of a liquid metal in a tray which is spun at constant speed . As the tray spins the liquid forms a paraboloidal surface of essentially unlimited size . This allows for very big telescope mirrors ( over 6 metres ) , but unfortunately they can not be steered , as they always point vertically . Focal planes ( edit ) Prime focus ( edit ) A prime focus telescope design . The observer / camera is at the focal point ( shown as a red X ) . In a prime focus design no secondary optics are used , the image is accessed at the focal point of the primary mirror . At the focal point is some type of structure for holding a film plate or electronic detector . In the past , in very large telescopes , an observer would sit inside the telescope in an `` observing cage '' to directly view the image or operate a camera . Nowadays CCD cameras allow for remote operation of the telescope from almost anywhere in the world . The space available at prime focus is severely limited by the need to avoid obstructing the incoming light . Radio telescopes often have a prime focus design . The mirror is replaced by a metal surface for reflecting radio waves , and the observer is an antenna . See also : Schmidt camera Cassegrain focus ( edit ) Cassegrain design For telescopes built to the Cassegrain design or other related designs , the image is formed behind the primary mirror , at the focal point of the secondary mirror . An observer views through the rear of the telescope , or a camera or other instrument is mounted on the rear . Cassegrain focus is commonly used for amateur telescopes or smaller research telescopes . However , for large telescopes with correspondingly large instruments , an instrument at Cassegrain focus must move with the telescope as it slews ; this places additional requirements on the strength of the instrument support structure , and potentially limits the movement of the telescope in order to avoid collision with obstacles such as walls or equipment inside the observatory . Nasmyth and coudé focus ( edit ) Nasmyth / coudé light path . Nasmyth ( edit ) Main article : Nasmyth telescope The Nasmyth design is similar to the Cassegrain except the light is not directed through a hole in the primary mirror ; instead , a third mirror reflects the light to the side of the telescope to allow for the mounting of heavy instruments . This is a very common design in large research telescopes . Coudé ( edit ) Adding further optics to a Nasmyth - style telescope to deliver the light ( usually through the declination axis ) to a fixed focus point that does not move as the telescope is reoriented gives a coudé focus ( from the French word for elbow ) . The coudé focus gives a narrower field of view than a Nasmyth focus and is used with very heavy instruments that do not need a wide field of view . One such application is high - resolution spectrographs that have large collimating mirrors ( ideally with the same diameter as the telescope 's primary mirror ) and very long focal lengths . Such instruments could not withstand being moved , and adding mirrors to the light path to form a coudé train , diverting the light to a fixed position to such an instrument housed on or below the observing floor ( and usually built as an unmoving integral part of the observatory building ) was the only option . The 60 - inch Hale telescope ( 1.5 m ) , Hooker Telescope , 200 - inch Hale Telescope , Shane Telescope , and Harlan J. Smith Telescope all were built with coudé foci instrumentation . The development of echelle spectrometers allowed high - resolution spectroscopy with a much more compact instrument , one which can sometimes be successfully mounted on the Cassegrain focus . Since inexpensive and adequately stable computer - controlled alt - az telescope mounts were developed in the 1980s , the Nasmyth design has generally supplanted the coudé focus for large telescopes . Fibre - fed spectrographs ( edit ) For instruments requiring very high stability , or that are very large and cumbersome , it is desirable to mount the instrument on a rigid structure , rather than moving it with the telescope . Whilst transmission of the full field of view would require a standard coudé focus , spectroscopy typically involves the measurement of only a few discrete objects , such as stars or galaxies . It is therefore feasible to collect light from these objects with optical fibers at the telescope , placing the instrument at an arbitrary distance from the telescope . Examples of fiber - fed spectrographs include the planet - hunting spectrographs HARPS or ESPRESSO . Additionally , the flexibility of optical fibers allow light to be collected from any focal plane ; for example , the HARPS spectrograph utilises the Cassegrain focus of the ESO 3.6 m Telescope , whilst the Prime Focus Spectrograph is connected to the prime focus of the Subaru telescope .

what parts of a reflecting telescope form the image
[ "A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century, by Isaac Newton, as an alternative to the refracting telescope which, at that time, was a design that suffered from severe chromatic aberration. Although reflecting telescopes produce other types of optical aberrations, it is a design that allows for very large diameter objectives. Almost all of the major telescopes used in astronomy research are reflectors. Reflecting telescopes come in many design variations and may employ extra optical elements to improve image quality or place the image in a mechanically advantageous position. Since reflecting telescopes use mirrors, the design is sometimes referred to as a \"catoptric\" telescope.\n" ]

Cape of Good Hope
Cape of Good Hope - Wikipedia Cape of Good Hope For other uses , see Cape of Good Hope ( disambiguation ) . 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 . ( January 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The Cape of Good Hope looking towards the west , from the coastal cliffs above Cape Point , overlooking Dias beach The Cape of Good Hope ( Afrikaans : Kaap die Goeie Hoop ( ˌkɑːp di ˌχujə ˈɦʊəp ) , Dutch : Kaap de Goede Hoop ( ˌkaːb də ˌɣudə ˈɦoːp ) ( listen ) , Portuguese : Cabo da Boa Esperança ( ˈkaβu ðɐ ˈβoɐ ʃpɨˈɾɐ̃sɐ ) ) is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa . A common misconception is that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa . This misconception was based on the misbelief that the Cape was the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans . Contemporary geographic knowledge instead states the southernmost point of Africa is Cape Agulhas about 150 kilometres ( 90 mi ) to the east - southeast . The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm - water Agulhas current meets the cold - water Benguela current and turns back on itself . That oceanic meeting point fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point ( about 1.2 kilometres ( 0.75 mi ) east of the Cape of Good Hope ) . Wikimedia © OpenStreetMap The Cape of Good Hope is at the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula approximately 50 km ( 31 mi ) south of Cape Town , South Africa . When following the western side of the African coastline from the equator , however , the Cape of Good Hope marks the point where a ship begins to travel more eastward than southward . Thus , the first modern rounding of the cape in 1488 by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias was a milestone in the attempts by the Portuguese to establish direct trade relations with the Far East ( although Herodotus mentioned a claim that the Phoenicians had done so far earlier ) . Dias called the cape Cabo das Tormentas ( `` Cape of Storms '' ; Dutch : Stormkaap ) , which was the original name of the `` Cape of Good Hope '' . As one of the great capes of the South Atlantic Ocean , the Cape of Good Hope has long been of special significance to sailors , many of whom refer to it simply as `` the Cape '' . It is a waypoint on the Cape Route and the clipper route followed by clipper ships to the Far East and Australia , and still followed by several offshore yacht races . The term Cape of Good Hope is also used in three other ways : It is a section of the Table Mountain National Park , within which the cape of the same name , as well as Cape Point , falls . Prior to its incorporation into the national park , this section constituted the Cape Point Nature Reserve . It was the name of the early Cape Colony established by the Dutch in 1652 , on the Cape Peninsula . Just before the Union of South Africa was formed , the term referred to the entire region that in 1910 was to become the Cape of Good Hope Province ( usually shortened to the Cape Province ) . Contents 1 History 2 Geography 3 Fauna 3.1 Chacma baboons 4 Flora 5 Legends 6 See also 7 References 8 External links History ( edit ) Eudoxus of Cyzicus ( / ˈjuːdəksəs / ; Greek : Εὔδοξος , Eúdoxos ; fl . c. 130 BC ) was a Greek navigator for Ptolemy VIII , king of the Hellenistic Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt , who found the wreck of a ship in the Indian Ocean that appeared to have come from Gades ( today 's Cádiz in Spain ) , rounding the Cape . When Eudoxus was returning from his second voyage to India the wind forced him south of the Gulf of Aden and down the coast of Africa for some distance . Somewhere along the coast of East Africa , he found the remains of the ship . Due to its appearance and the story told by the natives , Eudoxus concluded that the ship was from Gades and had sailed anti-clockwise around Africa , passing the Cape and entering the Indian Ocean . This inspired him to repeat the voyage and attempt a circumnavigation of the continent . Organising the expedition on his own account he set sail from Gades and began to work down the African coast . The difficulties were too great , however , and he was obliged to return to Europe . After this failure he again set out to circumnavigate Africa . His eventual fate is unknown . Although some , such as Pliny , claimed that Eudoxus did achieve his goal , the most probable conclusion is that he perished on the journey . In the 1450 Fra Mauro map , the Indian Ocean is depicted as connected to the Atlantic . Fra Mauro puts the following inscription by the southern tip of Africa , which he names the `` Cape of Diab '' , describing the exploration by a ship from the East around 1420 : Detail of the Fra Mauro Map describing the construction of the junks that navigate in the Indian Ocean . `` Around 1420 a ship , or junk , from India crossed the Sea of India towards the Island of Men and the Island of Women , off Cape Diab , between the Green Islands and the shadows . It sailed for 40 days in a south - westerly direction without ever finding anything other than wind and water . According to these people themselves , the ship went some 2,000 miles ahead until - once favourable conditions came to an end - it turned round and sailed back to Cape Diab in 70 days '' . `` The ships called junks ( lit . `` Zonchi '' ) that navigate these seas carry four masts or more , some of which can be raised or lowered , and have 40 to 60 cabins for the merchants and only one tiller . They can navigate without a compass , because they have an astrologer , who stands on the side and , with an astrolabe in hand , gives orders to the navigator `` . ( Text from the Fra Mauro map , 09 - P25 . ) Fra Mauro explained that he obtained the information from `` a trustworthy source '' , who traveled with the expedition , possibly the Venetian explorer Niccolò da Conti who happened to be in Calicut , India at the time the expedition left : `` What is more , I have spoken with a person worthy of trust , who says that he sailed in an Indian ship caught in the fury of a tempest for 40 days out in the Sea of India , beyond the Cape of Soffala and the Green Islands towards west - southwest ; and according to the astrologers who act as their guides , they had advanced almost 2,000 miles . Thus one can believe and confirm what is said by both these and those , and that they had therefore sailed 4,000 miles '' . Fra Mauro also comments that the account of the expedition , together with the relation by Strabo of the travels of Eudoxus of Cyzicus from Arabia to Gibraltar through the southern Ocean in Antiquity , led him to believe that the Indian Ocean was not a closed sea and that Africa could be circumnavigated by her southern end ( Text from Fra Mauro map , 11 , G2 ) . This knowledge , together with the map depiction of the African continent , probably encouraged the Portuguese to intensify their effort to round the tip of Africa .

The main mountains and their peaks , including Table Mountain , and its relation to the City of Cape Town are shown . Map of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Agulhas the southernmost point of Africa . Main article : Cape Colony Reproduction of the Cross of Vasco da Gama at the Cape of Good Hope . In the Early Modern Era , the first European to reach the cape was the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias on 12 March 1488 , who named it the `` Cape of Storms '' ( Cabo das Tormentas ) . It was later renamed by John II of Portugal as `` Cape of Good Hope '' ( Cabo da Boa Esperança ) because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of a sea route to India and the East . The Khoikhoi people lived in the cape area when the Dutch first settled there in 1652 . The Khoikhoi had arrived in this area about fifteen hundred years before . The Dutch called them Hottentots , a term that has now come to be regarded as pejorative . Dutch colonial administrator Jan van Riebeeck established a resupply camp for the Dutch East India Company some 50 km north of the cape in Table Bay on 6 April 1652 and this eventually developed into Cape Town . Supplies of fresh food were vital on the long journey around Africa and Cape Town became known as `` The Tavern of the Seas '' . On 31 December 1687 a community of Huguenots ( French Protestants ) arrived at the Cape of Good Hope from the Netherlands . They had escaped from France and fled to the Netherlands to flee religious persecution in France . One example was Pierre Joubert who came from La Motte - d'Aigues . The Dutch East India Company needed skilled farmers at the Cape of Good Hope and the Dutch Government saw opportunities to settle Huguenots at the Cape and sent them there . The Cape colony gradually grew over the next 150 years or so until it stretched for hundreds of kilometres to the north and north - east . During the Napoleonic Wars , the Dutch Republic was occupied by the French in 1795 . Thus the Cape Colony became a French vassal and enemy of the British . Therefore , the United Kingdom invaded and occupied the Cape Colony that same year . The British relinquished control of the territory in 1803 but returned and reoccupied the Colony on 19 January 1806 following the Battle of Blaauwberg . The Dutch ceded the territory to the British in the Anglo - Dutch Treaty of 1814 The Cape was then administered as the Cape Colony and it remained a British colony until it was incorporated into the independent Union of South Africa in 1910 ( now known as the Republic of South Africa ) . The Portuguese government erected two navigational beacons , Dias Cross and Gama Cross , to commemorate Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias as explorers who as mentioned were the first explorers to reach the cape . When lined up , the crosses point to Whittle Rock ( 34 ° 21 ′ 24.63 '' S 18 ° 28 ′ 26.36 '' E  /  34.3568417 ° S 18.4739889 ° E  / - 34.3568417 ; 18.4739889 ) , a large , permanently submerged shipping hazard in False Bay . Two other beacons in Simon 's Town provide the intersection . Geography ( edit ) Sign at the Cape of Good Hope , 2018 The Cape of Good Hope is at the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula , about 2.3 kilometres ( 1.4 mi ) west and a little south of Cape Point on the south - east corner . Cape Town is about 50 kilometres to the north of the Cape , in Table Bay at the north end of the peninsula . The peninsula forms the western boundary of False Bay . Geologically , the rocks found at the two capes , and indeed over much of the peninsula , are part of the Cape Supergroup , and are formed of the same type of sandstones as Table Mountain itself . Both the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point offer spectacular scenery ; the whole of the southernmost portion of the Cape Peninsula is a wild , rugged , scenic and generally unspoiled national park . The term the Cape has also been used in a wider sense , to indicate the area of the European colony centred on Cape Town , and the later South African province . Since 1994 , it has been broken up into three smaller provinces : the Western Cape , Eastern Cape and Northern Cape ; parts of the province were also absorbed into the North West . Fauna ( edit ) Male ostrich at the Cape of Good Hope With its diverse habitat , ranging from rocky mountain tops to beaches and open sea , the Cape of Good Hope is home to at least 250 species of birds including one of the two mainland colonies of African penguins . `` Bush birds '' tend to be rather scarce because of the coarse , scrubby nature of fynbos vegetation . When flowering , however , proteas and ericas attract sunbirds , sugarbirds , and other species in search of nectar . For most of the year , there are more small birds in coastal thicket than in fynbos . The Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park is home to several species of antelope . Bontebok and eland are easily seen , and red hartebeest can be seen in the grazing lawns in Smitswinkel Flats . Grey rhebok are less commonly seen and are scarce , but may be observed along the beach hills at Olifantsbos . Most visitors are unlikely to ever see either Cape grysbok or klipspringer . The Cape of Good Hope section is home to four Cape mountain zebra . They might be seen by the attentive or lucky visitor , usually in Smitswinkel Flats . Dassie at the Cape of Good Hope There are a wealth of small animals such as lizards , snakes , tortoises and insects . Small mammals include rock hyrax , four - striped grass mouse , water mongoose , Cape clawless otter and fallow deer . The area offers excellent vantage points for whale watching . The southern right whale is the species most likely to be seen in False Bay between June and November . Other species are the humpback whale and Bryde 's whale . Seals , dusky dolphins and killer whales have also been seen . The strategic position of the Cape of Good Hope between two major ocean currents , ensures a rich diversity of marine life . There is a difference between the sea life west of Cape Point and that to the east due to the markedly differing sea temperatures . The South African Marine Living Resources Act is strictly enforced throughout the Table Mountain National Park , and especially in marine protected areas . Disturbance or removal of any marine organisms is strictly prohibited between Schusters Bay and Hoek van Bobbejaan , but is allowed in other areas during season and with relevant permits . Chacma baboons ( edit ) Chacma baboons ( Papio ursinus ) are the mammals most intimately associated with the Cape of Good Hope . Baboons inside the Cape of Good Hope section of the park are a major tourist attraction . There are 11 troops consisting of about 375 individuals throughout the entire Cape Peninsula . Six of these 11 troops either live entirely within the Cape of Good Hope section of the park , or use the section as part of their range . The Cape Point , Kanonkop , Klein Olifantsbos , and Buffels Bay troops live entirely inside the Cape of Good Hope section of the Park . The Groot Olifantsbos and Plateau Road troops range into the park . Chacma baboons are widely distributed across southern Africa and are classified as '' least concern '' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species . However , the South African Parks Department states in its publication Mountains in the Sea that the baboon population on the Cape is `` critically endangered . '' This is due to habitat loss , genetic isolation , and conflicts with humans . Cape baboons have been eliminated from the majority of their range across the Cape Peninsula , and the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park provides a sanctuary for the troops that live within its boundaries . It provides relative safety from nearby towns , where people have killed many baboons after the baboons raid their houses looking for food . Baboons are also frequently injured or killed outside of the park by cars and by electrocution on power lines . Inside the park , some management policies such as allowing barbecues and picnics in the baboon home ranges cause detriment to the troops , as they become embroiled in conflicts with guests to the park . Flora ( edit ) Fynbos at Cape Peninsula The Cape of Good Hope is an integral part of the Cape Floristic Kingdom , the smallest but richest of the world 's six floral kingdoms . This comprises a treasure trove of 1100 species of indigenous plants , of which a number are endemic ( occur naturally nowhere else on earth ) . The main type of fynbos ( `` fine bush '' ) vegetation at the Cape of Good Hope is Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos , an endangered vegetation type that is endemic to the Cape Peninsula . Coastal Hangklip Sand Fynbos grows on low - lying alkaline sands and , right by the sea , small patches of Cape Flats Dune Strandveld can be found . Characteristic fynbos plants include proteas , ericas ( heath ) , and restios ( reeds ) . Some of the most striking and well - known members belong to the Proteacae family , of which up to 24 species occur . These include king protea , sugarbush , tree pincushion and golden cone bush ( Leucadendron laureolum ) . Many popular horticultural plants like pelargoniums , freesias , daisies , lilies and irises also have their origins in fynbos . Legends ( edit ) Cape of Good Hope panorama The Cape of Good Hope is the legendary home of The Flying Dutchman . Crewed by tormented and damned ghostly sailors , it is doomed forever to beat its way through the adjacent waters without ever succeeding in rounding the headland . Adamastor is a Greek - type mythological character invented by the Portuguese poet Luís de Camões in his epic poem Os Lusíadas ( first printed in 1572 ) , as a symbol of the forces of nature Portuguese navigators had to overcome during their discoveries and more specifically of the dangers Portuguese sailors faced when trying to round the Cape of Storms .

Beenamol and shooter Anjali Bhagwat . The government rejected the recommendations and asked the committee to cut down the list to comply with the award guidelines , where only one sportsperson for the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award and fifteen sportspersons along with one disabled athlete for the Arjuna Awards could be recommended each year . The committee revised the list to recommend Beenamol for the award over Bhagwat but also put a request `` to consider everyone '' . The decision spurred criticism for ignoring the achievements of the shooter and Bhagwat and the National Rifle Association of India expressed their `` disappointment '' with the decision . Later , the government accepted all the recommendations `` as an exception '' and jointly awarded Beenamol and Bhagwat for the year 2002 . In August 2013 , the selection committee headed by Michael Ferreira recommended sport shooter Ronjan Sodhi for the award , with some committee members questioning the process of selection . A committee member noted that discus thrower Krishna Poonia , and Paralympic athlete H.N. Girisha were shortlisted and Sodhi was not the initial choice . However , Girisha 's name was removed , and the final voting was done between Sodhi and Poonia . Poonia was accused of lobbying for the award by one of the committee member Anjali Bhagwat , but the accused met the then Union Sports Minister Jitendra Singh to promote her case and also rubbished the lobbying allegations . The Ministry conducted a separate enquiry by Secretary of Department of Sports and decided not to increase the number of awards `` to maintain the stature of the awards '' . Following an announcement , in August 2015 , that tennis player Sania Mirza was to be awarded , a Public - Interest Litigation was filed in the Karnataka High Court . The petitioner , Paralympic athlete H.N. Girisha , mentioned that his performance was ignored by the committee . Girisha claimed to be a top contender for the award with 90 points , owing to his silver medal winning act at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in the Men 's High Jump F42 event . The petition mentioned that the points for Mirza 's Grand Slam titles from 2011 until 2015 should not be counted as the events were not a part of the list of sports events to be considered for the performance evaluation . The court withheld the conferment and sought replies from the Ministry about the selection process . The Ministry nevertheless presented the award to Mirza on 29 August 2015 amidst the case processing .

Apes , with genetically enhanced intelligence caused by the same virus , have started to build a civilization of their own . Caesar is the chimpanzee leader of an ape colony in the Muir Woods near San Francisco . Caesar 's son Blue Eyes and his friend Ash encounter a man named Carver in the woods , who panics and shoots Ash , wounding him . Carver 's party , led by Malcolm , arrive while a number of apes join Blue Eyes and Ash . Caesar orders the humans to leave , and they flee to their community in San Francisco , centered around `` the tower '' , a partially finished skyscraper . Prompted by Koba , a scarred bonobo who holds a grudge against humans for experimental mistreatment , Caesar brings an army of apes to the tower . There , he announces that while the apes do not want war , they will fight to defend their home . He demands that the humans stay in their territory . Malcolm convinces his fellow leader Dreyfus to give him time to take a small team to the forest to reconcile with the apes and gain access to a hydroelectric dam in their territory , which could provide long - term power to the city . Malcolm meets with Caesar , who allows the humans to work on the generator on the condition that they surrender their guns . As Malcolm , his wife Ellie , and son Alexander work , they bond with the apes . Mutual distrust of both sides gradually subsides until Caesar discovers a gun Carver had hidden and orders the humans to leave . He later allows the humans one extra day to work on the dam after Ellie uses medicine to save Caesar 's wife , Cornelia . Distrustful of the apes , Dreyfus arms his community using the Fort Point armory . Maintaining his distrust of humans , Koba discovers the armory and later confronts Caesar , accusing him of loving humans more than apes . In response , Caesar severely beats Koba , but refrains from killing him . Koba returns to the armory , where he takes an assault rifle and kills two guards . Returning home , he secretly kills Carver . The generator is repaired , restoring power to the city . During the celebration , Koba sets fire to the apes ' home , then , unseen to anyone else , shoots Caesar , who falls from the settlement 's main tree . In the subsequent panic , Koba takes charge , implicating Carver in the shooting and convincing the apes to attack the humans . He leads them into San Francisco , where they plunder the armory and charge the tower , with many casualties . The apes breach the building and imprison the humans as Dreyfus flees underground . When Ash refuses Koba 's orders to kill unarmed humans , citing Caesar 's teachings , Koba kills Ash and imprisons any ape still loyal to Caesar . Malcolm 's family finds Caesar barely alive and transport him to his former house in San Francisco . Caesar reveals that Koba shot him , realizing that apes can be as corrupt and violent as humans . When Malcolm sneaks into the settlement to find medical supplies for Caesar , he encounters Blue Eyes , who spares him before learning that his father is still alive . After reconciling with Caesar , Blue Eyes returns to the tower and frees the imprisoned humans and apes . Malcolm leads the apes into the tower , where he finds Dreyfus . He learns that the return of electricity allowed Dreyfus ' men to make radio contact with survivors at a military base , who are now coming to fight the apes . Caesar confronts Koba at the top of the tower ; as they fight , Dreyfus detonates C - 4 charges that destabilize the tower , at the cost of his own life . Koba starts shooting at the apes , but Caesar tackles him off a ledge . While clinging on a metal girder , Koba is rejected as an ape by Caesar and is dropped to his death . Malcolm and Caesar acknowledge their friendship , with Malcolm warning of the approaching human military . Caesar warns that the humans will never forgive the apes for their attack , and convinces Malcolm to leave with his family . The film ends as Caesar stands before a kneeling mass of apes . Cast ( edit ) Cast and crew of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes ( from left ) : director Matt Reeves and stars Jason Clarke , Keri Russell and Andy Serkis Apes ( edit ) Andy Serkis as Caesar , a common chimpanzee and the leader of the evolved ape tribe Toby Kebbell as Koba , a scarred bonobo and Caesar 's treacherous lieutenant ; previously played by Christopher Gordon in Rise Judy Greer as Cornelia , a common chimpanzee and Caesar 's wife , mother of Blue Eyes and a newborn son ; previously played by Devyn Dalton in Rise Terry Notary as Rocket , a common chimpanzee and Caesar 's former rival and enemy turned friend Karin Konoval as Maurice , a Bornean orangutan and Caesar 's friend and advisor Doc Shaw as Ash , a common chimpanzee , son of Rocket , also Blue Eyes ' best friend Nick Thurston as Blue Eyes , a common chimpanzee and Caesar and Cornelia 's first son Lee Ross as Grey , a common chimpanzee and a follower of Koba Humans ( edit ) Jason Clarke as Malcolm , the leader of the small group that forms a strong bond with Caesar and the other apes Gary Oldman as Dreyfus , the leader of the remaining human survivors Keri Russell as Ellie , a former nurse at the CDC , and Malcolm 's wife Kodi Smit - McPhee as Alexander , Malcolm 's son from a previous marriage Kirk Acevedo as Carver , a former San Francisco water worker and a member of Malcolm 's group Jocko Sims as Werner , the colony 's radio operator Enrique Murciano as Kemp , a member of Malcolm 's group Keir O'Donnell as Finney , an ally of Dreyfus Lombardo Boyar as Terry , a guard at the colony 's armory Kevin Rankin as McVeigh , a guard at the colony 's armory Jon Eyez as Foster , a member of Malcolm 's group James Franco ( uncredited ) as Will Rodman from Rise of the Planet of the Apes , in a cameo via a video from Caesar 's childhood Production ( edit ) Film set on Rampart Street , New Orleans , May 2013 Development ( edit ) After the release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes , director Rupert Wyatt commented on possible sequels : `` I think we 're ending with certain questions , which is quite exciting . To me , I can think of all sorts of sequels to this film , but this is just the beginning . '' Screenwriter and producer Rick Jaffa also stated that Rise featured several clues as to future sequels : `` I hope that we 're building a platform for future films . We 're trying to plant a lot of the seeds for a lot of the things you are talking about in terms of the different apes and so forth . '' In an interview recorded after the release of Rise , Wyatt stated , `` We want to grow and evolve , in the films that will ( hopefully ) come after this , to the ' 68 original . '' Wyatt also stated that he wants it to take place eight years after Rise , as a whole new ape generation can be born , and explore the dynamics of Caesar and Koba 's relationship . According to screenwriter Rick Jaffa , a version of the spaceship from the 1968 Planet of the Apes under the name Icarus was in Rise as a deliberate hint to a possible sequel . In November 2011 , Andy Serkis was the first to be announced as having closed a deal for a sequel to Rise . It was reported to be a `` healthy seven - figure deal '' for him to reprise his role as Caesar , the ape leader . On May 15 , 2012 , it was announced Scott Z . Burns had been hired to do rewrites on the original screenplay by Rise writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver . On May 31 , 2012 , 20th Century Fox announced that the sequel would be titled Dawn of the Planet of the Apes . Post-production On September 17 , 2012 , there were reports that director Wyatt was considering leaving the sequel due to his concern that a May 2014 release date would not give him enough time to make the film properly . On October 1 , Cloverfield director Matt Reeves was confirmed as his replacement . Reeves had been working on developing a new Twilight Zone film . On October 18 , Mark Bomback , writer of Live Free or Die Hard , was reported to be doing a re-write for Reeves . Casting ( edit ) In December 2012 , after the departure of director Wyatt , James Franco speculated that he would not be returning for the sequel , saying , `` Now Rupert 's not a part of it so I do n't know . My guess is I wo n't be in it . Nobody 's talked to me since Rupert left . '' Later , Matt Reeves revealed that Franco would be seen in a cameo in the film . Freida Pinto , who played primatologist Caroline Aranha in Rise , confirmed that she would not be returning for Dawn . In April 2014 , when asked by IGN about the fate of Franco and Pinto 's characters , producer Dylan Clark said , `` I mean , they 're the ones that died ... They were ground zero of the virus . '' In February 2013 , actors Gary Oldman , Jason Clarke , and Kodi Smit - McPhee were cast in lead roles for the sequel , set ten years after the events from the first film . In March 2013 , actress Keri Russell was cast in a role . That same month , Judy Greer was cast as Cornelia , a female chimp and love interest for Caesar . Toby Kebbell , Enrique Murciano and Kirk Acevedo joined the cast during filming . On May 15 , 2013 , Jocko Sims was cast in a supporting role of military operative Werner . Filming ( edit ) Filming began in April 2013 around the town of Campbell River , British Columbia . The location of Vancouver Island was chosen for its similarity to the locations depicted in the film , the forests , and the variety of landscapes . Filming in New Orleans started in May 2013 and continued in July 2013 at various locations such as the former Six Flags park Six Flags New Orleans . Visual effects ( edit ) Like Rise , visual effects for Dawn were done by Weta Digital . In addition to the apes , Weta created other digital animals , such as a herd of elk , a grizzly bear , and CG doubles of the live horses . The elk were created using key - frame animation and the digital crowd enhancement software MASSIVE , the bear through key - frame animation , and the horses with a mixture of key - frame animation and motion capture .

It was announced on June 20 , 2013 that the release date for Dawn was being pushed back two months to July 18 , 2014 . On December 10 , 2013 , the film was pushed up one week to July 11 , 2014 . The film premiered at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco , California on June 26 , 2014 . The film closed the 36th Moscow International Film Festival on June 28 . In Hungary , the largest cinema chain called Cinema City could not agree with the film 's distributor , InterCom , and as a result it opened on July 17 , 2014 on 45 screens , significantly fewer than similar big - budget productions . However , the film still managed to top the weekend box office chart of the country beating Transformers : Age of Extinction , which had been leading the chart for three weeks ( on 105 screens distributed by UIP Duna ) . Marketing ( edit ) A viral marketing campaign for the film launched in July 2013 included a `` simian flu '' website and mock PSA videos . 20th Century Fox and Vice Media 's Motherboard released three short films online in July 2014 which document the ten - year gap between the events of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes . A novel titled Dawn of the Planet of the Apes : Firestorm which is also set between the events of the first two films was published in May 2014 by Titan Books . A partnership with 20th Century Fox and Ndemic Creations saw mobile / PC game Plague Inc. get a Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - themed update on July 10 , 2014 . It allows players to create and customize a simian flu virus to infect the world and eradicate humanity whilst helping apes survive . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was a success at the box office with many critics calling it `` the summer 's best popcorn film '' , and Deadline.com commented saying it is `` a franchise that will keep going and going , unless they screw it up '' . The film grossed $208,545,589 in the USA & Canada , and $500,290,000 in other countries , for a worldwide total of $708,835,589 . Calculating in all expenses and revenues , Deadline.com estimated that the film made a net profit of $182.18 million . It had a worldwide opening of $103.3 million which was the 11th - highest of 2014 . Worldwide it is the highest - grossing film in the Planet of the Apes franchise and the eighth - highest - grossing film of 2014 . In the United States and Canada , the film is the highest - grossing film in the Planet of the Apes franchise , unadjusted for inflation and the eighth - highest - grossing film of 2014 . It opened on July 11 , 2014 across 3,967 theaters and topped the box office on its opening day earning $27.7 million ( including previews ) . During its traditional three - opening , the film debuted at number one earning $72.6 million , which was 33 % higher than its predecessor . Box Office Mojo pointed out that the film 's good word of mouth as well as its predecessors ' , its darker tone , attachment of new characters and the first film 's way of ending were all determining factors in the film 's strong opening . It remained at the summit for two consecutive weekends in North America despite facing competition with The Purge : Anarchy in its second week . Dawn of the Planet of the Apes earned $31.3 million during its opening weekend internationally from 4,913 screens in 26 markets where it opened at No. 1 in 14 of those . International opening weekend tallies of more than $5 million were witnessed in the UK ( $14.88 million ) , Mexico ( $12.94 million ) , South Korea ( $11.5 million ) , Russia ( $9.99 million ) , Brazil with ( $9.2 million ) and Australia ( $6.6 million ) . The film topped the box office outside North America for two non-consecutive weekends . The film became a massive financial success in China where it opened with $47 million on its opening weekend there . The robust debut helped the film top the international charts for the first time dethroning Guardians of the Galaxy and aided the film in passing $400 million internationally and $600 million globally . Fox reported that the sequel 's debut in China was one of the best in history for a Western title , save for Iron Man 3 , Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen and Transformers : Age of Extinction at that time . After playing for a month in theaters , it passed $100 million on its fourth weekend and became the fourth Hollywood film of the year to achieve such a milestone . In total , it went on to make $107.4 million there , of which the studio received $26.8 million profit . Critical response ( edit ) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes received critical acclaim upon release . On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes , it holds a score of 90 % based on 285 reviews with a rating average of 7.9 / 10 . The website 's consensus reads : `` With intelligence and emotional resonance to match its stunning special effects , Dawn of the Planet of the Apes expands on its predecessor with an exciting and ambitious burst of sci - fi achievement . '' On review aggregator Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average , the film has a `` generally favorable '' rating score of 79 out of 100 based on 48 reviews . Guy Lodge of Variety said , `` An altogether smashing sequel to 2011 's better - than - expected Rise of the Planet of the Apes , this vivid , violent extension of humanoid ape Caesar 's troubled quest for independence bests its predecessor in nearly every technical and conceptual department , with incoming helmer Matt Reeves conducting the proceedings with more assertive genre elan than Rise journeyman Rupert Wyatt . '' Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the film `` manages to do at least three things exceptionally well that are hard enough to pull off individually : Maintain a simmering level of tension without let - up for two hours , seriously improve on a very good first entry in a franchise and produce a powerful humanistic statement using a significantly simian cast of characters . In the annals of sequels , Dawn is to Rise of the Planet of the Apes what The Empire Strikes Back was to Star Wars -- it 's that much better . '' Tim Robey of The Daily Telegraph said , `` There 's evident patience and intelligence to the filmmaking all over , as well as an engagement with genuine ideas about diplomacy , deterrence , law and leadership . However often it risks monkey - mad silliness , it 's impressively un-stupid . '' Drew McWeeny of HitFix awarded the film `` A + '' and said `` Dawn is not just a good genre movie or a good summer movie . It 's a great science - fiction film , full - stop , and one of the year 's very best movies so far . '' Ty Burr of the Boston Globe wrote that `` in bearing , speech , and agonized expressiveness , Serkis 's Caesar conveys the conflicts of a king with almost Shakespearean grandeur . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times praised the film for being able to balance out the action sequences and special effects with strong storytelling , writing that `` Dawn is more than a bunch of occasionally thrilling action sequences , emotional gut punches and throwaway jokes arranged in predictable sequence . It is technically impressive and viscerally exciting , for sure , but it also gives you a lot to think , and even to care , about . '' Less favorable reviews included Andrew O'Hehir at Salon.com who wrote , `` Here 's a rule that has gradually become clear to me : Any film that begins with one of those fake - news montages , where snippets of genuine CNN footage are stitched together to concoct a feeling of semi-urgency around its hackneyed apocalypse , already sucks even before it gets started . This one makes a dutiful attempt to struggle back from that suckage , but it all ends in yelling . '' Home Media ( edit ) Dawn of the Planet of the Apes was released by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on Blu - ray 3D , Blu - ray , and DVD on December 2 , 2014 . According to Nielsen VideoScan , it subsequently became the best - selling home video release for the week .

who shot caesar in dawn of the planet of the apes
[ "Distrustful of the apes, Dreyfus arms his community using the Fort Point armory. Maintaining his distrust of humans, Koba discovers the armory and later confronts Caesar, accusing him of loving humans more than apes. In response, Caesar severely beats Koba, but refrains from killing him. Koba returns to the armory, where he takes an assault rifle and kills two guards. Returning home, he secretly kills Carver. The generator is repaired, restoring power to the city. During the celebration, Koba sets fire to the apes' home, then, unseen to anyone else, shoots Caesar, who falls from the settlement's main tree. In the subsequent panic, Koba takes charge, implicating Carver in the shooting and convincing the apes to attack the humans. He leads them into San Francisco, where they plunder the armory and charge the tower, with many casualties. The apes breach the building and imprison the humans as Dreyfus flees underground. When Ash refuses Koba's orders to kill unarmed humans, citing Caesar's teachings, Koba kills Ash and imprisons any ape still loyal to Caesar." ]

He underwent surgery on July 23 to repair his degenerated knee . 2015 : struggles and injuries ( edit ) Sabathia reported to spring training weighing 305 pounds ( 138 kg ) , as he believed his decreased weight contributed to his poor 2014 season .

Throughout most of his career , Sabathia 's four - seam fastball sat in the 92 - 96 mph range ( topping out at 98 mph ) and his sinking fastball averaged 89 - 93 mph ( topping out at 96 mph ) , thus making him a power pitcher . Since 2013 , Sabathia has become accustomed to being a control pitcher , in the 2017 he cut down his usage of the four - seamer ( 87 - 91 mph topping out at 93 mph ) and favored the sinker and cutter .

He commented later , saying `` I told everybody I was trying to hit homers today because I had two singles last year and everybody was all over me , saying I was a singles hitter . It was awesome . '' On July 13 , 2008 , in his second game with the Brewers , Sabathia hit his second home run of the season off Cincinnati Reds pitcher Homer Bailey , becoming the third pitcher in history to homer in both leagues in the same season and the first since Earl Wilson did it in 1970 with Detroit and San Diego . Sabathia 's reputation of pitching a high number of effective innings each season has led to sports broadcasters often referring to him as a workhorse , discounting his injury - shortened 2014 campaign Sabathia has averaged over 200 innings a season in his career . Sabathia has the most lifetime complete games ( 38 including 12 shutouts ) , innings pitched ( 3317 ) and strikeouts ( 2849 ) of any active pitcher as of 2017 .

Wheatley (Portal)
Wheatley ( Portal ) - wikipedia Wheatley ( Portal ) Jump to : navigation , search Wheatley Portal character Wheatley , as he appears in Portal 2 . First game Portal 2 ( 2011 ) Created by Erik Wolpaw Designed by Michael Spinx Jesse Brandt Voiced by Stephen Merchant Richard Lord ( pre-release placeholder ) Wheatley is a fictional artificial intelligence from the Portal franchise first introduced in the 2011 video game Portal 2 . He is voiced by British comedian Stephen Merchant , and created in part by Portal 2 's designer Erik Wolpaw . In the Portal narrative , Wheatley is one of several spherical `` personality cores '' developed to restrain GLaDOS , the main artificial intelligence that operates the Aperture Science facility , from becoming rampant , though Wheatley is later revealed to have been built to act as an intelligence dampener towards GLaDOS . Initially serving as a comedic foil to the player - character Chell during the first half of Portal 2 , Wheatley becomes the main antagonist of the second half as he takes GLaDOS ' place and wreaks havoc on the facility before Chell and GLaDOS stop him . In addition to Portal 2 , Wheatley has appeared in Team Fortress 2 and Lego Dimensions . Since his appearance in Portal 2 , Wheatley has received overwhelmingly positive reception from critics . Merchant has been praised for his portrayal by critics who cited his fast - talking dialogue . Wheatley has also been described as a contrast to GLaDOS ' `` slower - speaking and more deliberate '' personality . Contents ( hide ) 1 Concept and creation 2 Appearances 3 Reception 4 References Concept and creation ( edit ) Wheatley was first revealed in an ARG released by Valve Corporation , the developer of the Portal series , in a screenshot of Portal 2 before its release , showing the player - character Chell holding him . Wheatley came from combining several ideas from multiple `` personality cores '' that the player would meet throughout the game . The idea was removed as it supposedly made the game feel too cluttered and the player never got to really learn about the multiple robots , so several were combined into the character of Wheatley . Wheatley was designed with the purpose of making a character who `` you 'd be seeing a lot '' . He added that Wheatley served as an `` offset '' of GLaDOS ; while her voice is `` slower - speaking and more deliberate '' , Wheatley is a `` frantic person '' , which he says is performed well by Merchant due to being able to relay information quickly in his speech . Merchant was chosen for the role both because the designers were fans of British comedy and because of Merchant 's role in the television series Extras and his podcasts . Merchant was sent a package of Portal 2 material along with a request that he provide the voice of Wheatley . Merchant agreed to the role . Wheatley 's characterisation was always designed with a British voice in mind . While they were writing Wheatley 's dialogue , they had Merchant `` in their heads '' as a result of watching Extras , though at the time they did not consider pursuing him for the role because they did not think that they would be able to cast him . They were instead considering Richard Ayoade , up until they went to Merchant 's agents . Wheatley was also designed with the intention of writing a video game character who spoke informally which Wolpaw stated gave the sensation that the events were really happening and that this was something players do not often see in video games . He also stated that sidekicks in video games have never `` sounded as if they were just making things up as you go along '' . While they later discovered that Merchant was famous in the United Kingdom , they noted that he was not chosen for his fame . Wolpaw noted that Merchant was the most famous actor that they had featured in one of their games . While they wrote a script for Wheatley , Merchant had an `` improvisational style '' that they let him employ in the dialogue . Merchant also spoke some of the written dialogue in a way that seemed improvisational , such as in the `` reading and repetition of words '' . This was one of the qualities that made them want to cast Merchant . Merchant himself has compared Wheatley 's personality to characters typically played by Woody Allen , and noted that while initially he did n't know the gravitas of the role , reaction by others made him take the role a lot more seriously . He described the recording sessions as `` exhausting '' , so much so that by the end he was `` not looking forward to it '' , but once the project wrapped , he was overwhelmed with the fan response and would return for a sequel . Original plans had Wheatley remain dead after being crushed by GLaDOS , with her remaining as the main antagonist . The player would then meet six other spheres -- including a paranoid sphere and a `` Morgan Freeman sphere '' . This was changed , however , as the other spheres did not have enough time for the players to grow attached to them , and because playtesters missed Wheatley . Appearances ( edit ) To date , Wheatley 's only appearance in the series is in Portal 2 . He is one of several personality cores created for GLaDOS ; specifically , he was designed by the Aperture scientists as an `` Intelligence Dampening Sphere '' ( or , as GLaDOS puts it , `` the dumbest moron who ever lived '' ) as a means to hamper GLaDOS ' decision - making processes by injecting poor judgment into her routines . The player - character Chell is introduced to Wheatley when he revives her from her cryonic hibernation , with the intent on helping her escape the deteriorating Aperture Science facility . Wheatley then helps Chell get the blue portal gun . Wheatley leads Chell to the chamber containing the remains of GLaDOS , and accidentally reactivates GLaDOS while trying to engineer their escape . Chell is separated from Wheatley by GLaDOS and forced to perform more tests . Wheatley manages to rediscover Chell and helps her escape to maintenance areas behind the testing chambers out of GLaDOS ' reach . He guides her to destroy GLaDOS ' neurotoxin supply and sabotage the turret manufacturing line before returning to GLaDOS . Without these hazards to stop her , Chell follows his instructions to transfer his core into that of GLaDOS . With the threat of GLaDOS quenched , Wheatley prepares to send Chell to the surface , but he becomes power - hungry due to GLaDOS ' core programming ; he places GLaDOS ' personality into a module powered by a potato battery and sends her and Chell into the depths of Aperture Science . As Chell and GLaDOS fall , GLaDOS reveals that Wheatley was actually meant to be a `` tumor '' , with the purpose of generating an endless stream of bad ideas in order to control her . While Chell and GLaDOS work their way up from deep underground , Wheatley begins fumblingly experimenting with his control of the facility , causing several key systems to fail . By the time Chell and GLaDOS arrive , the core reactor in the facility is set to overload , and the only way to stop it is for GLaDOS to retake her main unit back from Wheatley . Wheatley , coerced by the core programming in GLaDOS , puts them through a series of deranged test chambers in his newly renamed `` Wheatley Science '' facility , leading them to a series of death traps . Chell and GLaDOS are able to escape , due to Wheatley 's lack of foresight , and make their way to his chamber to try to attempt a reversal of the core transfer , but first must subdue his programming by three other faulty personality cores to distract him . Wheatley , recalling the earlier battle with GLaDOS , takes steps to prevent Chell from activating the core transfer mechanism and assaults her with bombs . However , he did not account for tubes carrying the various gels through the room , which Chell destroys with the bombs and uses the resulting spillage to complete the attachment of the corrupted cores . With Wheatley distracted , Chell tries to initiate the core transfer , however bombs rigged in the stalemate resolution annex explode before this can take place . As the failsafes on the reactor core fail , the roof collapses . Chell creates a portal between the room and the moon 's surface , dragging her and Wheatley 's module through it ; GLaDOS , now having regained her body , knocks Wheatley away , and then restores the facility to normal working order . Wheatley is shown in the game 's epilogue to be floating adrift in space , apologetic for the trouble he has caused , and forced to listen to the deranged ramblings of the space personality cores . Wheatley appears in an official plug - in created by Valve for The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim ; Fall of the Space Core , Vol 1 . Wheatley appears floating around the Skills Menu , the backdrop of which is a series of constellations in space . Wheatley appears in Valve 's multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2 as an item for the Spy class called `` The Ap - Sap '' . Stephen Merchant reprised his role as Wheatley for the game . He appears as a non-playable character in Lego Dimensions , now able to move and levitate under his own power , with Merchant reprising his role . In the main story campaign , he appears in Aperture Science and occasionally aids Batman , Gandalf and Wyldstyle in escaping and surviving GLaDOS 's traps . In the bonus Portal - themed stage , he is reunited with Chell and accompanies her through GLaDOS 's new test chambers , expressing remorse for his previous actions and trying to ingratiate himself with Chell . He also appears in the Portal 2 adventure world , caring for a group of Frankenturrets and offering the player various sidequests . Reception ( edit ) Stephen Merchant received significant praise for his portrayal of Wheatley . Stephen Merchant won two awards for his performance as Wheatley : ' Outstanding Character Performance ' at the Interactive Achievement Awards and Best Performance by a Human Male at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards . Wheatley earned a Spike TV nomination for ' Character of the Year ' . Edge staff wrote that Merchant 's portrayal of Wheatley was `` neurotically stuttering and blubbering '' and that his `` idiosyncratic staccato Bristolian burr '' was a `` fascinating choice '' . Edge staff also wrote that he served as the game 's `` comic relief '' and called him `` alternately hapless and sinister , the mesmerizing animations of his ' eye light ' and a changing role throughout make him an unforgettable presence '' . GameSpy 's Will Tuttle wrote that Merchant 's portrayal of Wheatley was `` pitch perfect '' and is `` sure to be a fan favorite '' . The Telegraph 's Tom Hoggins wrote that the `` delightfully skittish '' Wheatley 's `` casual , nervous patter reacting naturally to the events unfolding around you '' was performed well by Merchant . He later wrote that the dialogue of Portal 2 was funny due in part to `` the way that the frantic , nervous babble of Wheatley contrasts so effectively with the cynical , sinister goading from GLaDOS '' and that neither are overbearing . The Guardian 's Nick Cowen wrote that Wheatley was a `` stammering , motor - mouthed droid '' and at times `` funny and monstrous and spine chilling '' . The Guardian 's Will Freeman wrote that the `` apparently sentient computers '' in Portal 2 are `` outstanding '' though players may have a `` divided opinion '' on Wheatley . An editor for The Province wrote that Merchant 's portrayal of Wheatley `` really adds to the personality and character of the game '' . Official Xbox Magazine 's Jon Hicks praised the narrative of Portal 2 and cited Wheatley 's `` chirpy idiocy '' as a contributing factor to its quality . OXM 's Ryan McCaffrey wrote that Wheatley was `` played to perfection '' by Merchant . Computer and Video Games ' Andy Robinson wrote that Wheatley 's personality was `` equally loud '' to GLaDOS and `` brilliant '' . GameZone 's Ben PerLee wrote that Wheatley was `` cute but stupid '' and called him `` adorable and bumbling , a lovable little guy who is much more involved than you might expect '' . The Escapist 's Russ Pitts wrote that Wheatley was `` a helpful - if dumb - robot companion with a chipper English accent '' . The Globe and Mail 's Chad Sapieha wrote that Merchant was `` enormously entertaining as a slow - witted sphere '' . Ars Technica 's Ben Kuchera wrote that `` the casting ( of Merchant ) was a brilliant choice '' . He also wrote that `` there is something about his delivery that works wonderfully , and it seems like he was having a good time recording his lines '' . PC Gamer 's Dan Stapleton praised Wheatley as `` fantastically voiced '' by Merchant and wrote that he was `` basically playing the same mind - bogglingly stupid character from the Ricky Gervais comedy Extras '' . PC Gamer 's Craig Pearson wrote that `` his nervous English voice ... is another indicator that while Valve might not have known what they had with the original Portal , this time around they 're a lot more confident '' . Giant Bomb 's Ryan Davis wrote that Merchant voiced Wheatley with `` terrific nervous energy '' . Wired 's Chris Kohler wrote that `` you 'll fall in love with Wheatley , a friendly robot with a heart of gold and the charming voice of actor Stephen Merchant '' . IGN 's Charles Onyett wrote that it 's `` difficult to overstate how Merchant 's obvious enthusiasm for the role benefits the game '' and that `` no word Wheatley speaks is without witty inflection , and the consistently clever writing perfectly complements the onscreen action '' . He also wrote that Merchant 's Wheatley `` steals the show '' while GLaDOS and Cave Johnson 's voice actors Ellen McLain and J.K. Simmons turn in solid performances . PALGN 's Adam Ghiggino wrote that Merchant 's performance was `` brilliant '' and that he has `` a lot of emotion to ( his ) movement '' . Video Gamer 's Jamin Smith wrote that Merchant 's voice was familiar and wrote that Wheatley `` possesses more personality than the cast of most other games put together '' despite `` a lack of any distinguishing features at all '' in its appearance . GamesRadar 's Tyler Wilde wrote that Wheatley was `` surprisingly expressive '' and called it `` bumbling '' . CNN 's Larry Frum called Wheatley `` silly , frantic and almost childlike '' . ABC News ' Lou Kesten called it `` equally memorable '' to GLaDOS and a `` chatty , nervous A.I. '' Entertainment Weekly 's John Young described its eyeball 's appearance as a `` giant blue eyeball resembles a HAL 9000 computer with an Apple makeover '' . He also wrote that he was the `` most delightful artificial - intelligence program one could hope to meet , and his witty quips and general clumsiness are a frequent source of amusement '' and that he is `` splendidly voiced '' by Merchant . Editors for CNET wrote that `` if Stephen Merchant does n't win every video game voice actor award for his portrayal of the protagonist 's wacky robot sidekick , there is no justice in either this world or any virtual one '' . An editor for CBS News wrote that Wheatley was `` a chirpy and well - intentioned '' but also `` dim - witted '' . The editor added that the `` interactions between the player , GLaDOS and Wheatley are what give `` Portal 2 '' its charm and provide much of the humor that keeps the game captivating puzzle after puzzle `` . The Daily Mail 's James O'Brien called Wheatley a `` loquacious metal ball whose distinctly limited intelligence is rendered even more amusing by Merchant 's distinctive West Country burr '' . However , not all of Wheatley 's reception has been positive ; in an Ars Technica article arguing that Portal 2 was n't as great as its predecessor , Peter Bright said that the character 's role in the game 's plot was predictable and that `` his tireless , relentlessly stupid schtick '' quickly got old , with the character 's jokes being recycled and reused throughout the whole game . Bright also said that Wheatley 's `` inane babble served only to disrupt the mood . '' References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : `` Portal 2 Preview '' . Edge . Future Publishing Limited . 2011 - 03 - 18 .

( the nation 's capital ) , and several territories . The federal government is composed of three distinct branches : legislative , executive , and judicial , whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress , the President , and the federal courts , respectively . The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by acts of Congress , including the creation of executive departments and courts inferior to the Supreme Court .

No other name appears in the Constitution , and this is the name that appears on money , in treaties , and in legal cases to which it is a party ( Charles T. Schenck v. United States ) . The terms `` Government of the United States of America '' or `` United States Government '' are often used in official documents to represent the federal government as distinct from the states collectively . In casual conversation or writing , the term `` Federal Government '' is often used , and the term `` National Government '' is sometimes used . The terms `` Federal '' and `` National '' in government agency or program names generally indicate affiliation with the federal government ( Federal Bureau of Investigation , National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , National Park Service ) . Because the seat of government is in Washington , D.C. , `` Washington '' is commonly used as a metonym for the federal government . History The outline of the government of the United States is laid out in the Constitution . The government was formed in 1789 , making the United States one of the world 's first , if not the first , modern national constitutional republics . The United States government is based on the principles of federalism and republicanism , in which power is shared between the federal government and state governments . The interpretation and execution of these principles , including what powers the federal government should have and how those powers can be exercised , have been debated ever since the adoption of the Constitution . Some make the case for expansive federal powers while others argue for a more limited role for the central government in relation to individuals , the states or other recognized entities . Since the American Civil War , the powers of the federal government have generally expanded greatly , although there have been periods since that time of legislative branch dominance ( e.g. , the decades immediately following the Civil War ) or when states ' rights proponents have succeeded in limiting federal power through legislative action , executive prerogative or by constitutional interpretation by the courts . One of the theoretical pillars of the United States Constitution is the idea of `` checks and balances '' among the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of American government : the executive , the legislative and the judiciary . For example , while the legislative ( Congress ) has the power to create law , the executive ( President ) can veto any legislation -- an act which , in turn , can be overridden by Congress . The President nominates judges to the nation 's highest judiciary authority ( Supreme Court ) , but those nominees must be approved by Congress . The Supreme Court , in its turn , has the power to invalidate as `` unconstitutional '' any law passed by the Congress . These and other examples are examined in more detail in the text below . Legislative branch Main article : United States Congress Seal of the U.S. Congress The United States Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government . It is bicameral , comprising the House of Representatives and the Senate . Makeup of Congress House of Representatives The 435 seats of the House grouped by state The House currently consists of 435 voting members , each of whom represents a congressional district . The number of representatives each state has in the House is based on each state 's population as determined in the most recent United States Census . All 435 representatives serve a two - year term . Each state receives a minimum of one representative in the House . In order to be elected as a representative , an individual must be at least 25 years of age , must have been a U.S. citizen for at least seven years , and must live in the state that he or she represents . There is no limit on the number of terms a representative may serve . In addition to the 435 voting members , there are six non-voting members , consisting of five delegates and one resident commissioner . There is one delegate each from the District of Columbia , Guam , the Virgin Islands , American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands , and the resident commissioner from Puerto Rico . Senate In contrast , the Senate is made up of two senators from each state , regardless of population . There are currently 100 senators ( two from each of the 50 states ) , who each serve six - year terms . Approximately one third of the Senate stands for election every two years . Different powers The House and Senate each have particular exclusive powers . For example , the Senate must approve ( give `` advice and consent '' to ) many important Presidential appointments , including cabinet officers , federal judges ( including nominees to the Supreme Court ) , department secretaries ( heads of federal executive branch departments ) , U.S. military and naval officers , and ambassadors to foreign countries . All legislative bills for raising revenue must originate in the House of Representatives . The approval of both chambers is required to pass any legislation , which then may only become law by being signed by the President ( or , if the President vetoes the bill , both houses of Congress then re-pass the bill , but by a two - thirds majority of each chamber , in which case the bill becomes law without the President 's signature ) . The powers of Congress are limited to those enumerated in the Constitution ; all other powers are reserved to the states and the people . The Constitution also includes the `` Necessary and Proper Clause '' , which grants Congress the power to `` make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers '' . Members of the House and Senate are elected by first - past - the - post voting in every state except Louisiana , and Georgia , which have runoffs . Impeachment of federal officers Congress has the power to remove the President , federal judges , and other federal officers from office . The House of Representatives and Senate have separate roles in this process . The House must first vote to `` impeach '' the official . Then , a trial is held in the Senate to decide whether the official should be removed from office . Although two presidents have been impeached by the House of Representatives ( Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton ) , neither of them was removed following trial in the Senate . Congressional procedures Article I , Section 2 , paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives each chamber the power to `` determine the rules of its proceedings '' . From this provision were created congressional committees , which do the work of drafting legislation and conducting congressional investigations into national matters . The 108th Congress ( 2003 -- 2005 ) had 19 standing committees in the House and 17 in the Senate , plus four joint permanent committees with members from both houses overseeing the Library of Congress , printing , taxation and the economy . In addition , each house may name special , or select , committees to study specific problems . Today , much of the congressional workload is borne by subcommittees , of which there are some 150 . Powers of Congress Main article : Article One of the United States Constitution The United States Capitol is the seat of government for Congress . The Constitution grants numerous powers to Congress . Enumerated in Article I , Section 8 , these include the powers to levy and collect taxes ; to coin money and regulate its value ; provide for punishment for counterfeiting ; establish post offices and roads , issue patents , create federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court , combat piracies and felonies , declare war , raise and support armies , provide and maintain a navy , make rules for the regulation of land and naval forces , provide for , arm and discipline the militia , exercise exclusive legislation in the District of Columbia , and to make laws necessary to properly execute powers . Over the two centuries since the United States was formed , many disputes have arisen over the limits on the powers of the federal government . These disputes have often been the subject of lawsuits that have ultimately been decided by the United States Supreme Court . Congressional oversight Main article : Congressional oversight Congressional oversight is intended to prevent waste and fraud , protect civil liberties and individual rights , ensure executive compliance with the law , gather information for making laws and educating the public , and evaluate executive performance . It applies to cabinet departments , executive agencies , regulatory commissions and the presidency . Congress 's oversight function takes many forms : Committee inquiries and hearings Formal consultations with and reports from the President Senate advice and consent for presidential nominations and for treaties House impeachment proceedings and subsequent Senate trials House and Senate proceedings under the 25th Amendment in the event that the President becomes disabled or the office of the Vice President falls vacant . Informal meetings between legislators and executive officials Congressional membership : each state is allocated a number of seats based on its representation ( or ostensible representation , in the case of D.C. ) in the House of Representatives . Each state is allocated two Senators regardless of its population . As of January 2010 , the District of Columbia elects a non-voting representative to the House of Representatives along with American Samoa , the U.S. Virgin Islands , Guam , Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands . Executive branch See also : Article Two of the United States Constitution and United States Executive Orders The executive power in the federal government is vested in the President of the United States , although power is often delegated to the Cabinet members and other officials . The President and Vice President are elected as running mates by the Electoral College , for which each state , as well as the District of Columbia , is allocated a number of seats based on its representation ( or ostensible representation , in the case of D.C. ) in both houses of Congress . The President is limited to a maximum of two four - year terms . If the President has already served two years or more of a term to which some other person was elected , he may only serve one more additional four - year term . President Main article : President of the United States Seal of the U.S. President The executive branch consists of the President and those to whom the President 's powers are delegated . The President is both the head of state and government , as well as the military commander - in - chief and chief diplomat . The President , according to the Constitution , must `` take care that the laws be faithfully executed '' , and `` preserve , protect and defend the Constitution '' . The President presides over the executive branch of the federal government , an organization numbering about 5 million people , including 1 million active - duty military personnel and 600,000 postal service employees . The President may sign legislation passed by Congress into law or may veto it , preventing it from becoming law unless two - thirds of both houses of Congress vote to override the veto . The President may unilaterally sign treaties with foreign nations . However , ratification of international treaties requires a two - thirds majority vote in the Senate . The President may be impeached by a majority in the House and removed from office by a two - thirds majority in the Senate for `` treason , bribery , or other high crimes and misdemeanors '' . The President may not dissolve Congress or call special elections but does have the power to pardon , or release , criminals convicted of offenses against the federal government ( except in cases of impeachment ) , enact executive orders , and ( with the consent of the Senate ) appoint Supreme Court justices and federal judges . Vice President Main article : Vice President of the United States Seal of the U.S. Vice President The Vice President is the second - highest official in rank of the federal government . The office of the Vice President 's duties and powers are established in the legislative branch of the federal government under Article 1 , Section 3 , Clauses 4 and 5 as the President of the Senate . By virtue of this on - going role , he or she is the head of the Senate . In that capacity , the Vice President is allowed to vote in the Senate , but only when necessary to break a tie vote . Pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment , the Vice President presides over the joint session of Congress when it convenes to count the vote of the Electoral College . As first in the U.S. presidential line of succession , the Vice President duties and powers move to the executive branch when becoming President upon the death , resignation , or removal of the President , which has happened nine times in U.S. history . Lastly , in the case of a Twenty - fifth Amendment succession event , Vice President would become Acting President , assuming all of the powers and duties of President , except being designated as President . Accordingly , by circumstances , the Constitution designates the Vice President as routinely in the legislative branch , or succeeding to the executive branch as President , or possibly being in both as Acting President pursuant to the Twenty - fifth Amendment . Because of circumstances , the overlapping nature of the duties and powers attributed to the office , the title of the office and other matters , such has generated a spirited scholarly dispute regarding attaching an exclusive branch designation to the office of Vice President . Cabinet , executive departments , and agencies Main articles : Cabinet of the United States , United States federal executive departments , and List of federal agencies in the United States The day - to - day enforcement and administration of federal laws is in the hands of the various federal executive departments , created by Congress to deal with specific areas of national and international affairs . The heads of the 15 departments , chosen by the President and approved with the `` advice and consent '' of the U.S. Senate , form a council of advisers generally known as the President 's `` Cabinet '' . Once confirmed `` cabinet officers '' serve at the pleasure of the President . In addition to departments , a number of staff organizations are grouped into the Executive Office of the President . These include the White House staff , the National Security Council , the Office of Management and Budget , the Council of Economic Advisers , the Council on Environmental Quality , the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative , the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Office of Science and Technology Policy . The employees in these United States government agencies are called federal civil servants . There are also independent agencies such as the United States Postal Service , the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) , the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) , the Environmental Protection Agency , and the United States Agency for International Development . In addition , there are government - owned corporations such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the National Railroad Passenger Corporation . Judicial branch Main articles : Federal judiciary of the United States and United States federal courts See also : Article Three of the United States Constitution The Judiciary explains and applies the laws . This branch does this by hearing and eventually making decisions on various legal cases . Overview of the federal judiciary Seal of the U.S. Supreme Court Article III section I of the Constitution establishes the Supreme Court of the United States and authorizes the United States Congress to establish inferior ( i.e. , lower ) courts as their need shall arise . Section I also establishes a lifetime tenure for all federal judges and states that their compensation may not be diminished during their time in office . Article II section II establishes that all federal judges are to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the United States Senate . The Judiciary Act of 1789 subdivided the nation jurisdictionally into judicial districts and created federal courts for each district . The three tiered structure of this act established the basic structure of the national judiciary : the Supreme Court , 13 courts of appeals , 94 district courts , and two courts of special jurisdiction . Congress retains the power to re-organize or even abolish federal courts lower than the Supreme Court . The U.S. Supreme Court adjudicates `` cases and controversies '' -- matters pertaining to the federal government , disputes between states , and interpretation of the United States Constitution , and , in general , can declare legislation or executive action made at any level of the government as unconstitutional , nullifying the law and creating precedent for future law and decisions . The United States Constitution does not specifically mention the power of judicial review ( the power to declare a law unconstitutional ) . The power of judicial review was asserted by Chief Justice Marshall in the landmark Supreme Court Case Marbury v. Madison ( 1803 ) . There have been instances in the past where such declarations have been ignored by the other two branches . Below the U.S. Supreme Court are the United States Courts of Appeals , and below them in turn are the United States District Courts , which are the general trial courts for federal law , and for certain controversies between litigants who are not deemed citizens of the same state ( `` diversity jurisdiction '' ) . There are three levels of federal courts with general jurisdiction , meaning that these courts handle criminal cases and civil lawsuits between individuals . Other courts , such as the bankruptcy courts and the Tax Court , are specialized courts handling only certain kinds of cases ( `` subject matter jurisdiction '' ) . The Bankruptcy Courts are `` under '' the supervision of the district courts , and , as such , are not considered part of the `` Article III '' judiciary and also as such their judges do not have lifetime tenure , nor are they Constitutionally exempt from diminution of their remuneration . Also the Tax Court is not an Article III court ( but is , instead an `` Article I Court '' ) . The district courts are the trial courts wherein cases that are considered under the Judicial Code ( Title 28 , United States Code ) consistent with the jurisdictional precepts of `` federal question jurisdiction '' and `` diversity jurisdiction '' and `` pendent jurisdiction '' can be filed and decided . The district courts can also hear cases under `` removal jurisdiction '' , wherein a case brought in State court meets the requirements for diversity jurisdiction , and one party litigant chooses to `` remove '' the case from state court to federal court . The United States Courts of Appeals are appellate courts that hear appeals of cases decided by the district courts , and some direct appeals from administrative agencies , and some interlocutory appeals . The U.S. Supreme Court hears appeals from the decisions of the courts of appeals or state supreme courts , and in addition has original jurisdiction over a few cases . The judicial power extends to cases arising under the Constitution , an Act of Congress ; a U.S. treaty ; cases affecting ambassadors , ministers and consuls of foreign countries in the U.S. ; cases and controversies to which the federal government is a party ; controversies between states ( or their citizens ) and foreign nations ( or their citizens or subjects ) ; and bankruptcy cases ( collectively `` federal - question jurisdiction '' ) . The Eleventh Amendment removed from federal jurisdiction cases in which citizens of one state were the plaintiffs and the government of another state was the defendant . It did not disturb federal jurisdiction in cases in which a state government is a plaintiff and a citizen of another state the defendant . The power of the federal courts extends both to civil actions for damages and other redress , and to criminal cases arising under federal law . The interplay of the Supremacy Clause and Article III has resulted in a complex set of relationships between state and federal courts . Federal courts can sometimes hear cases arising under state law pursuant to diversity jurisdiction , state courts can decide certain matters involving federal law , and a handful of federal claims are primarily reserved by federal statute to the state courts ( for example , those arising from the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 ) . Both court systems thus can be said to have exclusive jurisdiction in some areas and concurrent jurisdiction in others . The U.S. Constitution safeguards judicial independence by providing that federal judges shall hold office `` during good behavior '' ; in practice , this usually means they serve until they die , retire , or resign . A judge who commits an offense while in office may be impeached in the same way as the President or other officials of the federal government . U.S. judges are appointed by the President , subject to confirmation by the Senate . Another Constitutional provision prohibits Congress from reducing the pay of any Article III judge ( Congress is able to set a lower salary for all future judges that take office after the reduction , but may not decrease the rate of pay for judges already in office ) . Relationships between state and federal courts Separate from , but not entirely independent of , this federal court system are the court systems of each state , each dealing with , in addition to federal law when not deemed preempted , a state 's own laws , and having its own court rules and procedures . Although state governments and the federal government are legally dual sovereigns , the Supreme Court of the United States is in many cases the appellate court from the State Supreme Courts ( e.g. , absent the Court countenancing the applicability of the doctrine of adequate and independent State grounds ) . The Supreme Courts of each state are by this doctrine the final authority on the interpretation of the applicable state 's laws and Constitution . Many state constitution provisions are equal in breadth to those of the U.S. Constitution , but are considered `` parallel '' ( thus , where , for example , the right to privacy pursuant to a state constitution is broader than the federal right to privacy , and the asserted ground is explicitly held to be `` independent '' , the question can be finally decided in a State Supreme Court -- the U.S. Supreme Court will decline to take jurisdiction ) . A State Supreme Court , other than of its own accord , is bound only by the U.S. Supreme Court 's interpretation of federal law , but is not bound by interpretation of federal law by the federal court of appeals for the federal circuit in which the state is included , or even the federal district courts located in the state , a result of the dual sovereigns concept . Conversely , a federal district court hearing a matter involving only a question of state law ( usually through diversity jurisdiction ) must apply the substantive law of the state in which the court sits , a result of the application of the Erie Doctrine ; however , at the same time , the case is heard under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure , the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence instead of state procedural rules ( that is , the application of the Erie Doctrine only extends to a requirement that a federal court asserting diversity jurisdiction apply substantive state law , but not procedural state law , which may be different ) . Together , the laws of the federal and state governments form U.S. law . Elections and voting Main article : Elections in the United States Diagram of the Federal Government and American Union , 1862 . Suffrage , commonly known as the ability to vote , has changed significantly over time . In the early years of the United States , voting was considered a matter for state governments , and was commonly restricted to white men who owned land . Direct elections were mostly held only for the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislatures , although what specific bodies were elected by the electorate varied from state to state . Under this original system , both senators representing each state in the U.S. Senate were chosen by a majority vote of the state legislature . Since the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 , members of both houses of Congress have been directly elected . Today , U.S. citizens have almost universal suffrage under equal protection of the laws from the age of 18 , regardless of race , gender , or wealth . The only significant exception to this is the disenfranchisement of convicted felons , and in some states former felons as well . Under the U.S. Constitution , the national representation of U.S. territories and the federal district of Washington , D.C. in Congress is limited : while residents of the District of Columbia are subject to federal laws and federal taxes , their only congressional representative is a non-voting delegate ; however , they have been allowed to participate in presidential elections since March 29 , 1961 . Residents of U.S. territories have varying rights ; for example , only some residents of Puerto Rico pay federal income taxes ( though all residents must pay all other federal taxes , including import / export taxes , federal commodity taxes and federal payroll taxes , including Social Security and Medicare ) . All federal laws that are `` not locally inapplicable '' are automatically the law of the land in Puerto Rico but their current representation in the U.S. Congress is in the form of a Resident Commissioner , a nonvoting delegate . State , tribal , and local governments Main articles : State governments of the United States , Tribal sovereignty in the United States , and Local government in the United States The states of the United States as divided into counties ( or , in Louisiana and Alaska , parishes and boroughs , respectively ) . Alaska and Hawaii are not to scale and the Aleutian and uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands have been omitted . The state governments tend to have the greatest influence over most Americans ' daily lives . The Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from exercising any power not delegated to it by the States in the Constitution ; as a result , states handle the majority of issues most relevant to individuals within their jurisdiction . Because state governments are not authorized to print currency , they generally have to raise revenue through either taxes or bonds . As a result , state governments tend to impose severe budget cuts or raise taxes any time the economy is faltering . Each state has its own written constitution , government and code of laws . The Constitution stipulates only that each state must have , `` a Republican Government '' . Therefore , there are often great differences in law and procedure between individual states , concerning issues such as property , crime , health and education , amongst others . The highest elected official of each state is the Governor . Each state also has an elected state legislature ( bicameralism is a feature of every state except Nebraska ) , whose members represent the voters of the state . Each state maintains its own state court system . In some states , supreme and lower court justices are elected by the people ; in others , they are appointed , as they are in the federal system . As a result of the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia , American Indian tribes are considered `` domestic dependent nations '' that operate as sovereign governments subject to federal authority but , in some cases , outside of the jurisdiction of state governments . Hundreds of laws , executive orders and court cases have modified the governmental status of tribes vis - à - vis individual states , but the two have continued to be recognized as separate bodies . Tribal governments vary in robustness , from a simple council used to manage all aspects of tribal affairs , to large and complex bureaucracies with several branches of government . Tribes are currently encouraged to form their own governments , with power resting in elected tribal councils , elected tribal chairpersons , or religiously appointed leaders ( as is the case with pueblos ) . Tribal citizenship and voting rights are typically restricted to individuals of native descent , but tribes are free to set whatever citizenship requirements they wish . The institutions that are responsible for local government within states are typically town , city , or county boards , water management districts , fire management districts , library districts and other similar governmental units which make laws that affect their particular area . These laws concern issues such as traffic , the sale of alcohol and the keeping of animals . The highest elected official of a town or city is usually the mayor . In New England , towns operate in a direct democratic fashion , and in some states , such as Rhode Island , Connecticut , and some parts of Massachusetts , counties have little or no power , existing only as geographic distinctions . In other areas , county governments have more power , such as to collect taxes and maintain law enforcement agencies .

In addition , because the cutoff point for income taxation is lower than that of the U.S. IRS code , and because the per - capita income in Puerto Rico is much lower than the average per - capita income on the mainland , more Puerto Rico residents pay income taxes to the local taxation authority than if the IRS code were applied to the island . This occurs because `` the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico government has a wider set of responsibilities than do U.S. State and local governments '' ( See GAO.gov ) . As residents of Puerto Rico pay into Social Security , Puerto Ricans are eligible for Social Security benefits upon retirement , but are excluded from the Supplemental Security Income ( SSI ) ( Commonwealth of Puerto Rico residents , unlike residents of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and residents of the 50 States , do not receive the SSI . See Socialsecurity.gov ) , and the island actually receives less than 15 % of the Medicaid funding it would normally receive if it were a U.S. state . However , Medicare providers receive less - than - full state - like reimbursements for services rendered to beneficiaries in Puerto Rico , even though the latter paid fully into the system ( See p. 252 ) . Archived May 11 , 2011 , at the Wayback Machine . It has also been estimated ( See Eagleforum.org that , because the population of the island is greater than that of 50 % of the states , if it were a state , Puerto Rico would have six to eight seats in the House , in addition to the two seats in the Senate.

Another misconception is that the import / export taxes collected by the U.S. on products manufactured in Puerto Rico are all returned to the Puerto Rico Treasury . This is not the case .

what form of government does the united states use
[ "The Federal Government of the United States (U.S. Federal Government) is the national government of the United States, a republic in North America, composed of 50 states, one district, Washington, D.C. (the nation's capital), and several territories. The federal government is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the President, and the federal courts, respectively. The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by acts of Congress, including the creation of executive departments and courts inferior to the Supreme Court." ]

He was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon , Portugal , and died in Padua , Italy . Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching , expert knowledge of scripture , and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick , he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history . He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946 . He is also the patron saint of lost things .

While fifteenth century writers state that his parents were Vicente Martins and Teresa Pais Taveira , and that his father was the brother of Pedro Martins de Bulhões , the ancestor of the Bulhão or Bulhões family , Niccolò Dal - Gal views this as less certain . His wealthy and noble family arranged for him to be instructed at the local cathedral school . At the age of fifteen , he entered the community of Canons Regular at the Augustinian Abbey of Saint Vincent on the outskirts of Lisbon . In 1212 , distracted by frequent visits from family and friends , he asked to be transferred to the motherhouse of the congregation , the Abbey of Santa Cruz in Coimbra , then the capital of Portugal . There the young Fernando studied theology and Latin . Joining the Franciscans ( edit ) In Alvise Vivarini 's painting , Anthony is distinguished from the other saints by his attributes , the book and the white lily stalk . After his ordination to the priesthood , Fernando was named guestmaster and placed in charge of hospitality for the abbey . While he was in Coimbra , some Franciscan friars arrived and settled at a small hermitage outside Coimbra dedicated to Saint Anthony of Egypt . Fernando was strongly attracted to the simple , evangelical lifestyle of the friars , whose order had been founded only eleven years prior . News arrived that five Franciscans had been beheaded in Morocco , the first of their order to be killed . King Afonso ransomed their bodies to be returned and buried as martyrs in the Abbey of Santa Cruz . Inspired by their example , Fernando obtained permission from church authorities to leave the Canons Regular to join the new Franciscan Order . Upon his admission to the life of the friars , he joined the small hermitage in Olivais , adopting the name Anthony ( from the name of the chapel located there , dedicated to Saint Anthony the Great ) , by which he was to be known . Anthony then set out for Morocco , in fulfillment of his new vocation . However , he fell seriously ill in Morocco and set sail back for Portugal in hope of regaining his health . On the return voyage the ship was blown off course and landed in Sicily . From Sicily he made his way to Tuscany where he was assigned to a convent of the order , but he met with difficulty on account of his sickly appearance . He was finally assigned to the rural hermitage of San Paolo near Forlì , Romagna , a choice made after considering his poor health . There he had recourse to a cell one of the friars had made in a nearby cave , spending time in private prayer and study . Preaching and teaching ( edit ) Saint Anthony of Padua Holding Baby Jesus by Strozzi , c. 1625 ; the white lily represents purity . One day , in 1222 , in the town of Forli , on the occasion of an ordination , a number of visiting Dominican friars were present , and there was some misunderstanding over who should preach . The Franciscans naturally expected that one of the Dominicans would occupy the pulpit , for they were renowned for their preaching ; the Dominicans , on the other hand , had come unprepared , thinking that a Franciscan would be the homilist . In this quandary , the head of the hermitage , who had no one among his own humble friars suitable for the occasion , called upon Anthony , whom he suspected was most qualified , and entreated him to speak whatever the Holy Spirit should put into his mouth . Anthony objected but was overruled , and his sermon created a deep impression . Not only his rich voice and arresting manner , but the entire theme and substance of his discourse and his moving eloquence , held the attention of his hearers . Everyone was impressed with his knowledge of scripture , acquired during his years as an Augustinian friar . At that point , Anthony was sent by Brother Gratian , the local Minister Provincial , to the Franciscan province of Romagna , based in Bologna . He soon came to the attention of the founder of the order , Francis of Assisi . Francis had held a strong distrust of the place of theological studies in the life of his brotherhood , fearing that it might lead to an abandonment of their commitment to a life of real poverty . In Anthony , however , he found a kindred spirit for his vision , who was also able to provide the teaching needed by young members of the order who might seek ordination . In 1224 he entrusted the pursuit of studies for any of his friars to the care of Anthony . St Anthony holding Baby Jesus The reason St. Anthony 's help is invoked for finding things lost or stolen is traced to an incident that occurred in Bologna . According to the story , Anthony had a book of psalms that was of some importance to him as it contained the notes and comments he had made to use in teaching his students . A novice who had decided to leave took the psalter with him . Prior to the invention of the printing press , any book was an item of value . Upon noticing it was missing , Anthony prayed it would be found or returned . The thief was moved to restore the book to Anthony and return to the Order . The stolen book is said to be preserved in the Franciscan friary in Bologna . Occasionally he took another post , as a teacher , for instance , at the universities of Montpellier and Toulouse in southern France , but it was as a preacher that Anthony revealed his supreme gift . According to historian Sophronius Clasen , Anthony preached the grandeur of Christianity . His method included allegory and symbolical explanation of Scripture . In 1226 , after attending the General Chapter of his order held at Arles , France , and preaching in the French region of Provence , Anthony returned to Italy and was appointed provincial superior of northern Italy . He chose the city of Padua as his location . In 1228 he served as envoy from the general chapter to Pope Gregory IX . At the Papal court , his preaching was hailed as a `` jewel case of the Bible '' and he was commissioned to produce his collection of sermons , Sermons for Feast Days ( Sermones in Festivitates ) . Gregory IX himself described him as the `` Ark of the Testament '' ( Doctor Arca testamenti ) . Death ( edit ) Anthony of Padua with the Infant Jesus by Antonio de Pereda , detail Anthony became sick with ergotism , a disease which is now known also under the name `` Saint Anthony 's Fire '' , and , in 1231 , went to the woodland retreat at Camposampiero with two other friars for a respite . There he lived in a cell built for him under the branches of a walnut tree . Anthony died on the way back to Padua on 13 June 1231 at the Poor Clare monastery at Arcella ( now part of Padua ) , aged 35 . According to the request of Anthony , he was buried in the small church of Santa Maria Mater Domini , probably dating from the late 12th century and near a convent which had been founded by him in 1229 . Nevertheless , due to his increased notability , construction of a large Basilica began around 1232 -- although it was not completed until 1301 . The smaller church was incorporated into structure as the Cappella della Madonna Mora ( Chapel of the Dark Madonna ) . The basilica is commonly known today as `` Il Santo '' . Various legends surround the death of Anthony . One holds that when he died , the children cried in the streets and that all the bells of the churches rang of their own accord . Another legend regards his tongue . Anthony is buried in a chapel within the large basilica built to honor him , where his tongue is displayed for veneration in a large reliquary along with his jaw and his vocal cords . When his body was exhumed thirty years after his death , it was found turned to dust , but the tongue was claimed to have glistened and looked as if it was still alive and moist ; apparently a further claim was made that this was a sign of his gift of preaching . On 1 January 1981 Pope John Paul II authorized a scientific team to study the saint 's remains and the tomb was opened on 6 January . Saint and Doctor of the church ( edit ) St Anthony of Padua and St Francis of Assisi by Friedrich Pacher Anthony was canonized by Pope Gregory IX on 30 May 1232 , at Spoleto , Italy , less than one year after his death . `` The richness of spiritual teaching contained in the Sermons was so great that in ( 16 January ) 1946 Venerable Pope Pius XII proclaimed Anthony a Doctor of the Church , attributing to him the title Doctor Evangelicus ( '' Evangelical Doctor `` ) , since the freshness and beauty of the Gospel emerge from these writings . '' Veneration as patron Saint ( edit ) El Greco 's painting , 1580 , shows the book with an image of the Christ child on the page . Anthony 's fame spread through Portuguese evangelization , and he has been known as the most celebrated of the followers of Saint Francis of Assisi . He is the patron saint of Lisbon , Padua and many places in Portugal and in the countries of the former Portuguese Empire . He is especially invoked and venerated all over the world as the patron saint for the recovery of lost items and is credited with many miracles involving lost people , lost things and even lost spiritual goods .

( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In 1692 Spanish missionaries came across a small Payaya Indian community along what was then known as the Yanaguana River on the feast day of Saint Anthony , 13 June . The Franciscan chaplain , Father Damien Massanet , with agreement General Domingo de Teran , renamed the rivers in his honor , and eventually a mission built nearby as well . This mission became the focal point of a small community that eventually grew in size and scope to become the seventh largest city in the country , the U.S. city of San Antonio , Texas . In New York City , the Shrine Church of St. Anthony in Greenwich Village , Manhattan celebrates his feast day , starting with the traditional novena of prayers asking for his intercession on the thirteen Tuesdays preceding his feast . This culminates with a week - long series of services and a street fair . A traditional Italian - style procession is held that day through the streets of its South Village neighborhood , in which a relic of the saint is carried for veneration . Miraculous Image of Saint Anthony , by Franciszek Lekszycki OFM , 1649 , Przeworsk , Poland Each year on the weekend of the last Sunday in August , Boston 's North End holds a feast in honor of Saint Anthony . Referred to as the `` Feast of All Feasts '' , Saint Anthony 's Feast in Boston 's North End was begun in 1919 by Italian immigrants from Montefalcione , a small town near Naples , where the tradition of honoring Saint Anthony goes back to 1688 . Each year the Sandia Pueblo along with Santa Clara Pueblo celebrate the feast day of Saint Anthony with traditional Native American dances On 27 January 1907 , in Beaumont , Texas , a church was dedicated and named in honor of Saint Anthony . The church was later designated a cathedral in 1966 with the formation of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Beaumont , but was not formally consecrated . On 28 April 1974 , St. Anthony Cathedral was dedicated and consecrated by Bishop Warren Boudreaux . In 2006 Pope Benedict XVI granted the cathedral the designation of minor basilica . St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica celebrated its 100th anniversary on 28 January 2007 . St. Anthony gives his name to Mission San Antonio de Padua , the third Franciscan mission dedicated along El Camino Real in California in 1771 . In Ellicott City , Maryland , southwest of Baltimore , the Conventual Franciscans of the St. Anthony Province dedicated their old novitiate house as The Shrine of St. Anthony which since 1 July 2004 serves as the official Shrine to Saint Anthony for the Archdiocese of Baltimore , the nation 's `` premier see '' and oldest diocese / first bishop . A large relic of Saint Anthony was donated to the shrine in 1995 by the friars in Padua as well as copies of thirteen original paintings detailing particularly important moments in the life of St. Anthony . The Shrine of Saint Anthony is modeled upon the `` Sacro Convento '' in Assisi , Italy and situated upon land once owned in a large estate by Charles Carroll of Carrollton , the only Roman Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence for Maryland and then wealthiest man in America . Maryland had been founded as an English colony and a haven for Catholics in 1634 . In addition to daily Mass and regular confession schedule , the Shrine of St. Anthony also offers retreat spaces for outside guests and hosts an annual pilgrimage in mid-June in honor of the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua . Brazil and europe ( edit ) Santo Antônio ( Saint Anthony ) Church in Teresópolis , Brazil Saint Anthony is known in Portugal , Spain and Brazil as a marriage saint , because there are legends of him reconciling couples . His feast day , 13 June , is Lisbon 's municipal holiday , celebrated with parades and marriages ( the previous day , 12 June , is the Dia dos Namorados in Brazil ) . He is one of the saints celebrated in the Brazilian Festa Junina ( also known as the `` Santo Antônio '' ) , along with John the Baptist and Saint Peter . He is venerated in Mogán Village in Gran Canaria where his feast day is celebrated every year with oversized objects carried through the streets for the fiesta . In the town of Brusciano , Italy , located near Naples , an annual feast in honor of Saint Anthony is held in late August . This tradition dates back to 1875 . The tradition started when a man prayed to Saint Anthony for his sick son to get better . He vowed that if his son would become healthy that he would build and dance a giglio like the people of Nola do for their patron San Paolino during the annual Fest Dei Gigli . The celebration has grown over the years to include six giglio towers built in honor of the saint . This tradition has also carried over to America , specifically the East Harlem area of New York where the immigrants from the town of Brusciano formed the Giglio Society of East Harlem and have been holding their annual feast since the early 1900s . In Poland he is the patron saint of Przeworsk . The icon of Saint Anthony , dating from 1649 , is housed in a local ( Franciscan church , Kaplica Świętego Antoniego w Przeworsku ( pl ) ) . Each Tuesday traditional prayers are celebrated with responsorium si quaeris ( pl ) . Asia ( edit ) St. Anthony of Padua in St. Joseph 's Church , Macao Devotion to Saint Anthony is popular throughout all of India . In Uvari , in Tamil Nadu , India , the church of Saint Anthony is home to an ancient wooden statue that is said to have cured the entire crew of a Portuguese ship suffering from cholera . Saint Anthony is said to perform many miracles daily , and Uvari is visited by pilgrims of different religions from all over South India . Christians in Tamil Nadu have great reverence for Saint Anthony and he is a popular saint there , where he is called `` The Miracle Saint . '' Also in India , a small crusady known with the name of Saint Anthony is located in the village called Pothiyanvilai , state of Tamil Nadu Kanyakumari district near Thengapattinam , where thousands of devotees attend every Tuesday and Friday to receive his blessings , miracles and guidings directly from St. Anthony 's soul entering in the body of a holy person for the last 34 years . The southern Indian state of Karnataka is also a holy pilgrimage center in honor of Saint Anthony ( specifically located in the small village of Dornahalli , near Mysore ) . Local lore holds that a farmer there unearthed a statue that was later identified as being that of Saint Anthony . The statue was deemed miraculous and an incident of divine intervention . A church was then erected to honor the saint . Additionally , Saint Anthony is highly venerated in Sri Lanka , and the nation 's Saint Anthony National Shrine in Kochikade , Colombo , receives many devotees of Saint Anthony , both Catholic and non-Catholic . In Siolim , a village in the Indian state of Goa , St. Anthony is always shown holding a serpent on a stick . This is a depiction of the incident which occurred during the construction of the church wherein a snake was disrupting construction work . The people turned to St. Anthony for help and placed his statue at the construction site . The next morning , the snake was found caught in the cord placed in the statue 's hand . In Art ( edit ) Giacomo Farelli -- St. Antony of Padua As the number of Franciscan saints increased , iconography struggled to distinguish Anthony from the others . Because of a legend that he had once preached to the fish , this was sometimes used as his attribute . He is also often seen with a white lily stalk , representing his purity . Other conventions referred to St. Anthony 's visionary fervor . Thus , one attribute in use for some time was a flaming heart . In 1511 , Titian painted three large frescoes in the Scuola del Santo ( it ) in Padua , depicting scenes of the miracles from the life of Saint Anthony : The Miracle of the Jealous Husband , which depicts the murder of a young woman by her husband ; A Child Testifying to Its Mother 's Innocence ; and The Saint Healing the Young Man with a Broken Limb . Another key pattern has him meditating on an open book in which the Christ Child himself appears , as in the El Greco above . Over time the child came to be shown considerably larger than the book and some images even do without the book entirely . He typically appears carrying the infant Jesus and holding a cross .

who is the patron saint of finding lost things
[ "Saint Anthony of Padua (Portuguese: St. António de Lisboa), born Fernando Martins de Bulhões (1195 – 13 June 1231),[1] also known as Anthony of Lisbon, was a Portuguese Catholic priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church on 16 January 1946. He is also the patron saint of lost things." ]

Jason Bourne ( film ) - Wikipedia Jason Bourne ( film ) Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the 2016 film . For the film series , see Bourne ( film series ) . Jason Bourne Theatrical release poster Directed by Paul Greengrass Produced by Matt Damon Paul Greengrass Gregory Goodman Frank Marshall Jeffrey M. Weiner Ben Smith Written by Paul Greengrass Christopher Rouse Based on Characters by Robert Ludlum Starring Matt Damon Tommy Lee Jones Alicia Vikander Vincent Cassel Julia Stiles Riz Ahmed Music by John Powell David Buckley Cinematography Barry Ackroyd Edited by Christopher Rouse Production companies Perfect World Pictures Kennedy / Marshall Captivate Entertainment Pearl Street Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date July 11 , 2016 ( 2016 - 07 - 11 ) ( Odeon Leicester Square ) July 29 , 2016 ( 2016 - 07 - 29 ) ( United States ) Running time 123 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $120 million Box office $415.5 million Jason Bourne is a 2016 American action thriller film directed by Paul Greengrass and written by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse . It is the fifth installment of the Bourne film series and a direct sequel to The Bourne Ultimatum ( 2007 ) . Matt Damon reprises his role as the main character , former CIA assassin and psychogenic amnesiac Jason Bourne , following his absence in the previous installment The Bourne Legacy ( 2012 ) . In addition , the film stars Tommy Lee Jones , Alicia Vikander , Julia Stiles ( who was also absent from The Bourne Legacy ) , Vincent Cassel , Riz Ahmed , Ato Essandoh and Scott Shepherd . The character Aaron Cross , from The Bourne Legacy , does not appear in Jason Bourne because director Greengrass chose to focus on the titular character , and because actor Jeremy Renner chose not to return for the fifth film due to scheduling conflicts . In the film , Bourne remains on the run from CIA hit squads as he tries to uncover hidden truths about his father . CIA director Robert Dewey ( Jones ) orders the CIA head of cyber-security Heather Lee ( Vikander ) to hunt him down . Principal photography on the film commenced on September 8 , 2015 . The film premiered in London on July 11 , 2016 , and was theatrically released in the United States on July 29 , 2016 , by Universal Pictures . The film received mixed reviews from critics with praise aimed at Damon 's reprisal as Bourne , but expressed criticism at the story . Despite the reviews , the film was a box office success , grossing $415 million worldwide .

In Reykjavík , Nicky Parsons , who has been collaborating with a hacktivist group led by Christian Dassault , hacks into the CIA 's mainframe computer server to expose its `` black '' ( top - secret ) operations programs . This alerts Heather Lee , the head of the agency 's cybersecurity operations division , and CIA director Robert Dewey . In the process , Parsons finds documents concerning Bourne 's recruitment into Treadstone and his father 's role in the program . She travels to Athens to find and inform him . In Greece , Parsons and Bourne meet at Syntagma Square during a violent anti-government protest . They evade CIA teams sent after them , but Parsons is shot by the Asset , an ex-Blackbriar assassin who also holds a personal grudge against Bourne , having been captured and tortured as an unintentional consequence of Bourne 's exposure of Blackbriar . Before she dies , Parsons passes Bourne the key to a locker which holds the CIA files . Seeking answers about his past and family , Bourne locates Dassault in Berlin . Decrypting Parsons ' files , Bourne discovers that his father , Richard Webb , was a CIA analyst involved in the creation of the Treadstone program . A `` malware '' program implanted in the files gives the CIA Bourne 's location , and Dewey sends a team to capture him , while Lee remotely erases the files . Dassault attacks Bourne , but is killed . Lee alerts Bourne to the team closing in , as she believes that he can be persuaded to return to the agency . Using the few leads he gathered in Berlin , Bourne tracks Malcolm Smith , a former Treadstone surveillance operative , in London and arranges to meet him in Paddington Plaza . Lee persuades Dewey 's boss , Edwin Russell , the Director of National Intelligence , to allow her to contact Bourne in person to attempt to bring him back in . Dewey , who opposes her plan , secretly authorizes the Asset to eliminate her team and kill Bourne . Bourne evades Lee and the Asset long enough to confront Smith . Smith admits that Richard Webb created Treadstone , but tried to prevent them from recruiting his son . Under Dewey 's orders , the Asset killed Richard Webb in Beirut , making it look like a terrorist attack , in order to persuade Bourne to join Treadstone. Smith is killed by the Asset , while Bourne escapes and finds Lee . She admits that she is not comfortable with Dewey 's methods and directs Bourne to a technology convention in Las Vegas . Dewey is scheduled to attend the convention for a public debate on privacy rights with Aaron Kalloor , CEO of social media giant Deep Dream . Kalloor is the public face of corporate social responsibility in the Internet age , but he was secretly funded by Dewey in the startup stage . The CIA director intends to use Deep Dream for real - time mass surveillance alongside the latest incarnation of the CIA 's targeted assassination ' Beta ' program , known as `` Iron Hand '' . When Kalloor has second thoughts about giving the CIA access to Deep Dream , Dewey authorizes the Asset to assassinate Kalloor and Lee . Bourne thwarts the assassinations and confronts Dewey in his suite . Dewey appeals to Bourne 's sense of patriotism as he stalls for time . Bourne kills Jeffers , Dewey 's right - hand man . Lee kills Dewey before he can shoot Bourne . Bourne covers up Lee 's involvement before chasing the Asset on the Las Vegas Strip and finally killing him during a brutal hand - to - hand fight . In the aftermath , Lee convinces Edwin Russell that Dewey 's methods were outdated and offers herself as Dewey 's replacement as CIA director and Russell 's eyes and ears within the CIA . She outlines her plan to use Bourne 's trust to bring him back to the agency , but is prepared to kill him if he refuses . Lee meets with Bourne , promising him that the CIA will become the organization he thought it was when he joined . Bourne asks for time to consider her offer and walks away . Lee returns to her car and finds a recording , made by Jason Bourne , of the conversation she had with Russell about bringing Bourne in .

Production ( edit ) Film production in Berlin Development ( edit ) In May 2007 , prior to the release of The Bourne Ultimatum , Matt Damon stated that he would not be interested in returning for a fourth Bourne film , remarking of his participation in the Bourne franchise : `` We have ridden that horse as far as we can . '' Damon said in August 2007 : I think in terms of another one , the story of this guy 's search for his identity is over , because he 's got all the answers , so there 's no way we can trot out the same character , and so much of what makes him interesting is that internal struggle that was happening for him : am I a good guy , am I a bad guy , what is the secret behind my identity , what am I blocking out , why am I remembering these disturbing images ? So all of that internal propulsive mechanism that drives the character is not there , so if there was to be another one , then it would have to be a complete reconfiguration , you know . Where do you go from there ? For me , I kind of feel like the story that we set out to tell has now been told . I love the character , and if Paul Greengrass calls me in ten years and says , ' Now we can do it , because it 's been ten years and I have a way to bring him back , ' then there 's a world in which I can go , ' Yeah , absolutely . ' We could get the band back together if there was a great idea behind it , but in terms of now and this story , that part -- - the story 's been told ... Instead The Bourne Legacy was released in the U.S. in August 2012 with Jeremy Renner replacing Damon as the star . Despite getting mixed reviews Universal noted that they planned to continue with the series , with Damon and Paul Greengrass later expressing interest in returning . On September 15 , 2014 , it was announced that Damon and Greengrass would indeed return for the next Bourne film . In November 2014 , Damon confirmed that he and Greengrass would return , with a script from themselves , with Christopher Rouse editing .

Viggo Mortensen was in talks to play the villain role . On June 23 , 2015 , Vikander was confirmed to star in the sequel , while she was also in talks for the Assassin 's Creed film , which she passed on . On July 28 , 2015 , Tommy Lee Jones joined the film 's cast to play a senior CIA officer . On September 1 , 2015 , Vincent Cassel was cast in the film as an assassin who tracks Bourne .

The film grossed $162.4 million in the United States and Canada and $253.1 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $415.5 million , against a production budget of $120 million . The film passed the $400 million threshold on October 7 , making it the second film in the Bourne franchise to reach this milestone and the second highest - grossing film in the series behind The Bourne Ultimatum . Worldwide , the film opened at number one in 50 markets , scoring the biggest debut in the franchise in 53 markets . In 51 territories , Jason Bourne is the highest - grossing film in the franchise . It is the third highest - grossing film of 2016 ( behind Warcraft and The Mermaid ) that does not involve comic book superheroes or anthropomorphic animals at its center ( including The Jungle Book ) . In the United States and Canada , Jason Bourne was projected to gross $50 -- 60 million in its opening weekend . It made $4.2 million from Thursday night previews at 2,928 theaters which began at 7 : 00pm , becoming the first film in the series to earn above $1 million from previews , although the other four films ' screenings began at midnight . On its opening day it grossed $22.8 million , which is the second biggest opening day of the series behind The Bourne Ultimatum ( $24.6 million ) . It topped the box office in its opening weekend as expected with a $59.2 million opening , making it one of the few franchise titles from 2016 to open on par with its predecessor . It is the second biggest opening for the franchise as well as for Damon , just behind the $69 million debut of The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007 . The film dropped by 71 % on its second Friday ( $6.5 million ) as a result of the release of the superhero film Suicide Squad . By comparison , the last four Bourne movies all dropped ( respectively ) 46 % , 59 % , 57 % and 61 % on their second Fridays . In its second weekend the film grossed $22.7 million ( a drop of 61.6 % ) , finishing second at the box office . Internationally , Jason Bourne is the highest - grossing film among the series and has secured a release in a total of 78 countries . The film opened day - and - date in conjuncture with its North American release across 46 territories , including Australia , Brazil , South Korea and the U.K. and Ireland . It grossed $22.8 million on its opening day , marking the biggest international opening day for the franchise . It had No. 1 opening days in 28 markets and recorded the biggest opening day for the franchise in the United Kingdom and Ireland ( $5.2 million ) . Through Sunday , July 31 , it had an opening weekend total of $50.7 million easily topping the box office as well as debuting at first place in 27 of the 48 markets and scored the best international opening for the franchise . After three weeks of fluctuating up and down the charts , it rose back to the top spot in its fourth weekend after a strong debut in China . It recorded the biggest opening for the franchise in South Korea ( $11.3 million ) , the United Kingdom ( $10.2 million ) , Australia ( $5.8 million ) Japan ( $4.4 milliin ) and Russia ( $2.1 million ) and had number one openings in France ( $3.4 million ) , Australia , Taiwan ( $2 million ) , Spain ( $1.9 million ) , Indonesia ( $1.7 million ) , the Philippines ( $1.5 million ) the Netherlands ( $1.5 million ) , Mexico ( $1.5 million ) , the UAE ( $1.2 million ) , Sweden ( $1.1 million ) and Singapore ( $1.1 million ) . Brazil was one of the markets that did not open in first place , instead opening in fourth place with $1.4 million . South Korea posted the biggest opening among all other countries and although it faced stiff competition from local titles -- Operation Chromite and Train to Busan -- debuted in third place . Its opening figure is nevertheless a franchise milestone and comes ahead of competitions like Spectre and Furious 7 . Similarly , in the United Kingdom and Ireland , it finished in second place after facing competition with the animated Finding Dory . It had a £ 7.6 million ( $10 million ) debut including £ 2.29 million ( $3 million ) worth of previews from 563 theaters , a new record for the franchise . However , based on pure Friday to Sunday earnings with the exclusion of previews , the film 's £ 5.31 ( $6.98 million ) is more or less at par with The Bourne Ultimatum 's £ 5.31 million ( $7 million ) . In just 10 days , it became the second highest - grossing film in the series there . In India , it debuted in second place for a non-local film behind Suicide Squad with $1.1 million . In China , the film was released on Tuesday , August 23 , alongside the animated Ice Age : Collision Course and received an exclusive 3D version . It grossed an estimated $12.3 million on its opening day to record the franchise 's best opening day there ( other Chinese sources had it at $11.8 million ) . By comparison , The Bourne Legacy made $12.7 there in four days . In three days , it earned $25.1 million . In total , it delivered a six - day opening weekend total of an estimated $49.1 million -- and a Friday to Sunday total of $23.9 million -- to record the biggest opening for the franchise there . Its opening numbers alone surpassed the lifetime total of all other Jason Bourne films there . While it had a robust opening , compared to other Hollywood films that also opened on a Tuesday , such as Mission : Impossible -- Rogue Nation ( Friday + 18 % , Saturday + 68 % ) and Avengers : Age of Ultron ( Friday + 37 % , Saturday + 88 % ) , Jason Bourne 's box office jumps on its first Friday and Saturday were just 13 % and 43 % respectively . Following a first - place finish , it fell precipitously by 92 % in its second weekend , earning $3.8 million . China Film Insider projected that the film will end its run with a total of around $82 million , and also pointed out that had Universal not scheduled its release with Ice Age : Collision Course , the film could 've grossed over $100 million . But the film ended up making $66.3 million . Following North America and China , the U.K. is the film 's top earning international market with $30.4 million , followed by South Korea with $19.1 million and Australia with $16.7 million and France with $11.6 million . Critical response ( edit ) Jason Bourne received mixed reviews from critics . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the film an approval rating of 55 % based on 271 reviews , with a weighted average score of 5.9 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus states , `` Jason Bourne delivers fans of the franchise more of what they 've come to expect -- which is this sequel 's biggest selling point as well as its greatest flaw . '' Metacritic gave the film a normalized score of 58 out of 100 , based on 50 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale . Mike Ryan of Uproxx gave the film a mixed review , writing : `` Jason Bourne is a completely unnecessary sequel that barely moves along the plot from the third movie . And after what a Big Deal it was in The Bourne Legacy that no one could find Jason Bourne , it does feel a bit weird that the return of Jason Bourne seems so anticlimactic . '' Chris Tilly of IGN gave the film 7 / 10 , saying : `` Jason Bourne has a passable plot and a couple of pulsating sequences , which already makes it better than the majority of action movies . But in the context of its predecessors , that is n't good enough , the new movie never fully escaping the shadow of that previous trilogy , and making you question the wisdom of drawing Bourne back out of the shadows at all . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times described Damon 's performance as being `` as subdued as ever '' and said : `` ( t ) his is perhaps the most striking feature of Jason Bourne : Virtually all the major characters -- good , bad and in - between -- work for the same organization , at least on a consulting basis . There are dark whispers about external threats , and invocations of the tension between security and privacy in the digital age , but geopolitics and technology are scaffolding for what is essentially a movie about human resources challenges in a large bureaucracy . '' Peter Debruge of Variety said , `` ( i ) n many ways , Jason Bourne is the most unsettling movie in the series , seeing as it points to a vast conspiracy directed at the American people , and Greengrass ' style -- rendered visceral via the marriage of Barry Ackroyd 's on - the - fly lensing , a tense techno score , and Rouse 's cutting - room trickery -- lends itself nicely to an era in which shadow forces rely on such tools as satellite surveillance and facial - recognition software . '' He went on by saying , `` just as the initial Damon - driven trilogy wrapped up Bourne 's business but left us wanting more , this sequel offers closure even as it entices us with the possibility of his return . '' Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film 31⁄2 stars out of 4 , describing Damon 's performance as being , `` outstanding as the tightly wound , perpetually restless and conflicted Jason Bourne , who is practically a superhero when it comes to fighting but is utterly lost the rest of the time '' , and said : `` Jason Bourne is the best action thriller of the year so far , with a half - dozen terrific chase sequences and fight scenes . At one point the action swings to Vegas , and while some of what transpires is almost cartoonishly over-the - top , it 's great fun . '' Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter found the film 's conclusion and the characters distasteful , writing : `` unfortunately , then , the film ends on a flat , unimpressive note , as well as with the realization that , no matter how much time we 've spent with them , the characters remain utterly one - dimensional '' , but went on by saying , `` technically and logistically , Greengrass delivers everything you expect from him ; there 's no one better when it comes to staging complex , chaotic action amid the real life of big cities . As before , cinematographer Barry Ackroyd is a great asset in this regard , and all production and effects hands join seamlessly in the achieved goal of physical verisimilitude .

It was released on February 17 , 2016 , as the first single from Gnash 's third extended play , Us ( 2016 ) . The song peaked at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 . Outside the United States , the song topped the charts in Australia , a first for both Gnash and O'Brien , and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Austria , Belgium , Finland , Norway and the United Kingdom . On December 9 , 2016 , O'Brien released her solo version of the song titled `` Hate U Love U '' . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background and release 2 Lyrical interpretation 3 Music video 4 Critical reception 5 Charts 5.1 Weekly charts 5.2 Year - end charts 6 Certifications 7 Controversy 8 Olivia O'Brien version 8.1 Charts 9 References Background and release ( edit ) Gnash enlisted San Francisco singer - songwriter Olivia O'Brien with the help of Angel Benitez , who originally wrote the song , to provide the vocals for the track . O'Brien had already worked with Gnash , having covered his song `` Disposable '' . Gnash originally released the song on July 26 , 2015 , on his SoundCloud page . It was released commercially on iTunes on February 17 , 2016 , becoming the lead single of Gnash 's extended play , Us ( 2016 ) . Lyrical interpretation ( edit ) The song expresses the aftermath of a sad breakup when both ex-lovers are still missing each other . While O'Brien is still in the same emotional place as when they broke up , Gnash has partly been able to move on . Music video ( edit ) The music video for `` I Hate U , I Love U '' premiered on March 7 , 2016 . Critical reception ( edit ) Time was negative towards `` I Hate U , I Love U '' , labeling it as one of the worst songs of 2016 and writing , `` Forget The Chainsmokers and Halsey 's chart - conquering smash ' Closer ' -- the most depressingly zeitgeist - defining song of 2016 is gnash 's piano ballad ' i hate u , i love u , ' with singer - songwriter Olivia O'Brien , which inexplicably rose to the Top 10 of the Hot 100 this year . The singsongy melody is obnoxious as an ice cream truck jingle , while the lifeless production drains it of any energy . '' In 2017 , the song was nominated for a Radio Disney Music Award for Best Breakup Song .

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas ( film ) - wikipedia The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas ( film ) Jump to : navigation , search The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Theatrical release poster Directed by Mark Herman Produced by David Heyman Screenplay by Mark Herman Based on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne Starring Vera Farmiga David Thewlis Rupert Friend David Hayman Asa Butterfield Music by James Horner Cinematography Benoît Delhomme Edited by Michael Ellis Production companies BBC Films Heyday Films Distributed by North America : Miramax Films International : Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Release date 12 September 2008 ( 2008 - 09 - 12 ) Running time 94 minutes Country United Kingdom United States Language English Budget $12.5 million Box office $44.1 million The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas ( released as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the United States ; see spelling differences ) is a 2008 British - American historical period drama based on the novel of the same name by Irish writer John Boyne . Directed by Mark Herman , produced by BBC Films and Heyday Films , and distributed by Miramax ( North America ) and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures ( International ) , the film stars Vera Farmiga , David Thewlis , Asa Butterfield , and Jack Scanlon . It was released on 12 September 2008 in the United Kingdom . The Holocaust drama explores the horror of a World War II Nazi extermination camp through the eyes of two 8 - year - old boys ; Bruno ( Butterfield ) , the son of the camp 's Nazi commandant , and Shmuel ( Scanlon ) , a Jewish inmate . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Reception 3.1 Critical response 3.2 Historical accuracy 3.3 Accolades 4 References 5 See also 6 External links Plot ( edit ) The film opens with the quote `` Childhood is measured out by sounds and smells and sights , before the dark hour of reason grows . '' by John Betjeman . A young boy named Bruno ( Asa Butterfield ) lives with his family in Berlin , in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust . He learns that his father Ralf ( David Thewlis ) has been promoted , due to which their family , including Bruno 's mother Elsa ( Vera Farmiga ) and sister Gretel ( Amber Beattie ) , relocate to the countryside . Bruno hates his new home as there is no one to play with and very little to explore . After commenting that he has spotted people working on what he thinks is a farm in the distance , he is also forbidden from playing in the back garden . Bruno and Gretel get a private tutor , Herr Liszt ( Jim Norton ) , who pushes an agenda of antisemitism and nationalist propaganda . As a result , Gretel becomes extremely fanatical in her support for the Third Reich , to the point of covering her bedroom wall with Nazi propaganda posters . Bruno is confused as the Jews he has seen , in particular the family 's Jewish servant Pavel ( David Hayman ) , do not resemble the caricatures in Liszt 's teachings . One day , Bruno disobeys his parents and sneaks off into the woods , eventually arriving at an electric barbed wire fence surrounding a camp . He befriends a boy his own age named Shmuel ( Jack Scanlon ) . The pair 's lack of knowledge on the true nature of the camp is revealed : Bruno thinks that the striped uniforms that Shmuel , Pavel , and the other prisoners wear are pyjamas and Shmuel believes his grandparents died from an illness during their journey to the camp . Bruno starts meeting Shmuel regularly , sneaking him food and playing board games with him . He eventually learns that Shmuel is a Jew and was brought to the camp with his father and mother . Prisoner 's clothing from Sachsenhausen concentration camp One day , Elsa discovers the reality of Ralf 's assignment after Lieutenant Kurt Kotler ( Rupert Friend ) lets slip that the black smoke coming from the camp 's chimneys is due to the burning corpses of Jews . She confronts Ralf , disgusted and heartbroken . At dinner that night , Kotler admits that his father had left his family and moved to Switzerland . Upon hearing this , Ralf tells Kotler that he should have informed the authorities of his father 's disagreement with the current political regime as it was his duty . The embarrassed Kotler then gets infuriated with Pavel for accidentally spilling a glass of wine and violently beats him up , presumably killing him . The next morning the maid , Maria ( Cara Horgan ) , is seen scrubbing the blood stains . Later that day , Bruno sees Shmuel working in his home . Shmuel is there to clean wine glasses because they needed someone with small hands to do it . Bruno offers him some cake and willingly Shmuel accepts it . Unfortunately , Kotler happens to walk into the room where Bruno and Shmuel are socialising . Kotler is furious and yells at Shmuel for talking to Bruno . In the midst of his scolding , Kotler notices Shmuel chewing the food Bruno gave him . When Kotler asks Shmuel where he got the food , he says Bruno offered the cake , but Bruno , fearful of Kotler , denies this . Believing Bruno , Kotler tells Shmuel that they will have a `` little chat '' later . Distraught , Bruno goes to apologise to Shmuel , but finds him gone . Every day , Bruno returns to the same spot by the camp but does not see Shmuel . Eventually , Shmuel reappears behind the fence , sporting a black eye . Bruno apologises and Shmuel forgives him , renewing the friendship . After the funeral of his mother , who was killed in Berlin by an enemy bombing , Ralf tells Bruno and Gretel that their mother suggests that they go to live with a relative because it is n't safe there . Their mother suggests this because she does n't want her children living with their murderous father . Shmuel has problems of his own ; his father has gone missing after those with whom he participated in a march did not return to the camp . Bruno decides to redeem himself by helping Shmuel find his father . The next day , Bruno , who is due to leave that afternoon , dons a striped prisoners ' outfit and a cap to cover his unshaven hair , and digs under the fence to join Shmuel in the search . Bruno soon discovers the true nature of the camp after seeing the many sick and weak - looking Jews , much to his shock . While searching , the boys are taken on a march with other inmates by Sonderkommandos . At the house , Gretel and Elsa discover Bruno 's disappearance . After they discover the open window he went through Elsa bursts into Ralf 's meeting to alert him that Bruno is missing . Ralf and his men mount a search . Led by a dog tracking Bruno 's scent they find his discarded clothing outside the fence . Elsa and Gretel are following along behind . They enter the camp , looking for him ; Bruno , Shmuel and the other inmates are stopped inside a changing room and are told to remove their clothes for a `` shower '' . They are packed into a gas chamber , where Bruno and Shmuel hold each other 's hands . A Schutzstaffel soldier pours some Zyklon B pellets inside , and the prisoners start panicking , yelling and banging on the metal door . When Ralf realises that a gassing is taking place , he cries out his son 's name , and Elsa and Gretel fall to their knees in despair and mourn Bruno . The film ends by showing the closed door of the now - silent gas chamber , indicating that all prisoners , including Bruno and Shmuel , are dead .

The site 's critical consensus reads , `` A touching and haunting family film that deals with the Holocaust in an arresting and unusual manner , and packs a brutal final punch of a twist . '' On Metacritic , the film has a normalized score of 55 out of 100 , based on 28 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . James Christopher , of The Times , referred to the film as `` a hugely affecting film . Important , too . '' Manohla Dargis , of The New York Times said the film `` trivialized , glossed over , kitsched up , commercially exploited and hijacked ( the Holocaust ) for a tragedy about a Nazi family . '' Historical accuracy ( edit ) Some critics have criticised the premise of the book and subsequent film . Reviewing the original book , Rabbi Benjamin Blech wrote : `` Note to the reader : There were no 9 - year - old Jewish boys in Auschwitz -- the Nazis immediately gassed those not old enough to work . '' Rabbi Blech affirmed the opinion of a Holocaust survivor friend that the book is `` not just a lie and not just a fairytale , but a profanation . '' Blech acknowledges the objection that a `` fable '' need not be factually accurate ; he counters that the book trivialises the conditions in and around the death camps and perpetuates the `` myth that those not directly involved can claim innocence , '' and thus undermines its moral authority . Students who read it , he warns , may believe the camps `` were n't that bad '' if a boy could conduct a clandestine friendship with a Jewish captive of the same age , unaware of `` the constant presence of death . '' Kathryn Hughes , whilst agreeing about the implausibility of the plot , argues that `` Bruno 's innocence comes to stand for the wilful refusal of all adult Germans to see what was going on under their noses . '' In the Chicago Sun - Times , Roger Ebert says the film is not a reconstruction of Germany during the war , but is `` about a value system that survives like a virus .

Devil ( 2010 film ) - wikipedia Devil ( 2010 film ) Devil Theatrical release poster Directed by John Erick Dowdle Produced by M. Night Shyamalan Sam Mercer Screenplay by Brian Nelson Story by M. Night Shyamalan Starring Chris Messina Logan Marshall - Green Geoffrey Arend Bojana Novakovic Jenny O'Hara Bokeem Woodbine Jacob Vargas Narrated by Jacob Vargas Music by Fernando Velázquez Cinematography Tak Fujimoto Edited by Elliot Greenberg Production company Media Rights Capital The Night Chronicles Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date September 17 , 2010 ( 2010 - 09 - 17 ) Running time 80 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $10 million Box office $62.6 million Devil ( also known as The Night Chronicles : Devil ) is a 2010 American supernatural horror film directed by John Erick Dowdle . The screenplay by Brian Nelson was from a story by M. Night Shyamalan . The film stars Chris Messina , Logan Marshall - Green , Geoffrey Arend , Bojana Novakovic , Jenny O'Hara , and Bokeem Woodbine . Devil was released on September 17 , 2010 . Critics praised the film 's atmosphere and performances , but criticized the short running - time and convoluted story . Contents ( hide ) 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 Story sources 5 Release 5.1 Critical reception 5.2 Home media 6 Sequels 7 References 8 External links Plot ( edit ) Ramirez ( Jacob Vargas ) speaks in a voice - over about stories that his mother told him about the devil sometimes actively seeking out individuals who have sinned while they are still alive on Earth . While taking human form , he traps them in a confined place only to turn them against each other , before killing them one at a time . Ramirez explains that the last victim will die in front of his or her loved one to `` make cynics of us all '' . He says that the signs are set in motion with a suicide , as that is when the Devil first makes his presence known . This story is abruptly interrupted by a violent suicide of a man who had fallen from the thirty - fifth floor of a Philadelphia office building . The truck he falls on rolls silently away . Detective Bowden ( Chris Messina ) is a recovering alcoholic who is assigned to the case of the suicide . He later explains that the reason for his alcoholism was the hit and run death of his wife and son , five years previously , in which the perpetrator was never apprehended . Meanwhile , five strangers board an elevator , which later becomes stuck between floors . When security finds them , they notice that there is CCTV and a radio with which they can call into the elevator , but they have no way of hearing the passengers in return . Bowden takes the investigation regarding the elevator as it is the same building from which the suicide victim jumped . Ramirez is revealed to be one of the security guards and is disturbed by an image of what looks like a screaming face frozen on the video monitor . His boss Lustig ( Matt Craven ) dismisses the superstitious suspicions and sends repair technician Dwight ( Joe Cobden ) to investigate the elevators while Bowden tries to ascertain the identities of the individuals . Only four of the five are accounted for : Vince McCormick ( Geoffrey Arend ) , a sleazy mattress salesman ; Sarah Caraway ( Bojana Novakovic ) , a pathological liar who plans to leave her rich husband and take his money with her ; Ben Larson ( Bokeem Woodbine ) , a temporary security guard with a history of violence ; an unnamed older woman who police mistakenly believe is named Jane Kowski ( Jenny O'Hara ) who is seen on video to be a thief , and another man who later introduces himself as Tony ( Logan Marshall - Green ) , who does not appear to have signed in at the security desk . The power goes on and off in the elevator , and each time the power is restored , something evil takes place . Dwight falls to his death on top of the elevator , and Lustig is electrocuted trying to restore power . Soon people in the elevator start dying , and the suspicion keeps shifting between all in the elevator . Vince is thrown into a mirror only to have his jugular vein sliced causing him to bleed to death , the old woman is hanged on a lamp cord from the elevator ceiling , Ben winds up on the floor with his neck twisted , and Sarah 's throat is slit by a broken piece of the mirror . Finally , the old woman seemingly returns to life , but with red , staring eyes ; it is revealed that she is the Devil , and that she has come for Tony and Sarah . In order to save Sarah , Tony confesses to having been responsible for a hit - and - run five years ago in which he killed a mother and her son . Detective Bowden hears him apologize over the radio . The Devil , powerless now that Tony has repented for his sin , curses before vanishing , and the elevator comes back online , sparing Tony 's life . As the corpses of Sarah , Ben , and Vince are wheeled away , Bowden decides to take Tony into custody , and , while en route , informs him that he is the husband and father of the mother and son Tony killed in that accident . But despite saying he 'd gone over what he 'd say , or what he would do if they 'd ever cross paths , he forgives Tony . Ramirez , again in a voice - over , says that his mother always reassured him at the end of her stories , `` If the Devil is real , then God must be real too . '' Cast ( edit ) Chris Messina as Detective Bowden Logan Marshall - Green as Mechanic ( Anthony `` Tony '' Janekowski ) Jenny O'Hara as Old Woman Bojana Novakovic as Young Woman ( Sarah Caraway ) Bokeem Woodbine as Guard ( Ben Larson ) Geoffrey Arend as Salesman ( Vince McCormick ) Jacob Vargas as Ramirez Matt Craven as Lustig Joshua Peace as Detective Markowitz Caroline Dhavernas as Elsa Nahai Joe Cobden as Dwight Zoie Palmer as Cheryl Vincent Laresca as Henry Mark Behar as Security - Elevator ( voice ) Production ( edit ) In October 2008 M. Night Shyamalan and Media Rights Capital announced that Devil would be made with the Dowdle brothers as directors and Brian Nelson as screenwriter . Filming started on October 26 , 2009 in Toronto with John Erick Dowdle as director and Drew Dowdle as an executive producer . There was additional shooting for the film several months later in Los Angeles and Philadelphia . Joe Cobden had to train for four months to prepare for his role . He said that preparing for his death scene , which took four days to shoot , was the hardest scene to shoot except for the introduction and closing . Story sources ( edit ) John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle said that the movie is based on a Devil 's Meeting , which is a premise that the Devil is on Earth to test evildoers by tormenting them . Shyamalan acknowledged that the basic structure of the story was `` an Agatha Christie nod . '' In Christie 's 1939 novel And Then There Were None , as in Devil , a group of people with guilty pasts are trapped in an isolated area and begin to die one by one . Release ( edit ) The film was set to have a release date on February 11 , 2011 , but was bumped up to September 17 , 2010 . The film 's trailer debuted online on July 13 , 2010 . Critical reception ( edit ) The film was not screened to critics in advance . Devil has received mixed reviews . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports a mixed score of 52 % , with an average rating of 5.2 / 10 , with the site 's consensus being `` It 's better than many of the other films M. Night Shyamalan has been associated with , but Devil never gets more than a few low - budget thrills out of its fiendishly promising premise . '' Dennis Harvey of Variety gave Devil a lukewarm review , saying `` Like the solid B - thrillers of yore that often outshone A-pics topping double bills , M. Night Shyamalan - produced Devil is nothing very special or original , but it gets the job done briskly and economically . '' Home Media ( edit ) The film Devil was released to DVD and Blu - ray Disc on December 21 , 2010 . Sequels ( edit ) Devil was intended to be the first of The Night Chronicles trilogy , which involved the supernatural within modern urban society . In June 2010 , Shyamalan announced the second film titled 12 Strangers , later changed to Reincarnate . The film was about a jury discussing a case dealing with the supernatural . Chris Sparling was set to write the script and Daniel Stamm would direct .

who is the killer in the movie devil
[ "The power goes on and off in the elevator, and each time the power is restored, something evil takes place. Dwight falls to his death on top of the elevator, and Lustig is electrocuted trying to restore power. Soon people in the elevator start dying, and the suspicion keeps shifting between all in the elevator. Vince is thrown into a mirror only to have his jugular vein sliced causing him to bleed to death, the old woman is hanged on a lamp cord from the elevator ceiling, Ben winds up on the floor with his neck twisted, and Sarah's throat is slit by a broken piece of the mirror. Finally, the old woman seemingly returns to life, but with red, staring eyes; it is revealed that she is the Devil, and that she has come for Tony and Sarah. In order to save Sarah, Tony confesses to having been responsible for a hit-and-run five years ago in which he killed a mother and her son. Detective Bowden hears him apologize over the radio. The Devil, powerless now that Tony has repented for his sin, curses before vanishing, and the elevator comes back online, sparing Tony's life. \n" ]

While Claire and Frank campaign together in Pennsylvania , Doug confronts Governor Matthews for not following through with establishing voting centers or bringing in the National Guard . Back in D.C. , Cathy alerts Frank to a Syrian national with strong ICO connections named Mohammad Kalabi . With Conway getting all the publicity , Frank calls into the 24 - hour live stream and tells Conway that he can ask him any question he wants . Will responds by asking why he was never given a chance to complete the mission and save Mr. Miller after successfully negotiating the release of Miller 's wife and daughter . Frank says the terrorists could tell Conway was weak , meaning Frank had to step in and take control . Frank 's last - minute call grabs the morning headlines . However , the Underwoods are given worrying news : voter turnout is unsettlingly low across the country .

A riot caused by a bomb - sniffing dog occurs at one Tennessee polling station and injures several people . Frank is able to convince the governor to halt voting and declare a state of emergency . A curfew is enacted , much to Conway 's dismay . Amid terrorist threats , the governor of Ohio calls Frank and says he is considering closing down polling stations , while Frank adamantly tells him not to , pretending that he does n't want that to happen . After Conway wins the state of Pennsylvania , Frank calls him to concede the election , but slyly says to the camera audience , `` What , do you think I learned nothing from Al Gore ? '' In the wake of the call , Conway , his wife Hannah , and some of his advisers are elated , but his campaign manager Mark Usher remains skeptical . Several hours pass and Frank has yet to publicly announce his concession , frustrating Conway . At that moment , the governor of Ohio makes a national TV broadcast to announce he felt he had no choice to close the Ohio polls due to the potential terror threat and that the results are not certifiable as a result . Several more states hold their election results as well , thereby leaving the election contested .

While LeAnn is able to flip a vote from Maine , Doug fails to win New Hampshire . On the day of the vote , Claire asks Donald to prevent a filibuster and keep Republicans off the floor . When he refuses , Claire begins insulting him and his late wife . Neither Conway nor Frank receive the 26 votes in the House needed to win , meaning that the Senate 's vice presidential selection between Claire and General Ted Brockhart will assume the duties of the Presidency until the House votes again . Claire , alone in the White House residence , walks toward the camera and briefly looks directly at the camera audience as the episode ends . 58 6 `` Chapter 58 '' Michael Morris Bill Kennedy May 30 , 2017 ( 2017 - 05 - 30 ) HOC - 506 Claire becomes Acting President of the United States until the House votes again .

Sean visits Lisa then tells Hammerschmidt , who fires him after discovering that Sean looked through his notes . He later investigates the death of Zoe Barnes .

Doug informs Frank of a hot - mic recording where Brockhart says he 'd actively tell his troops to disobey orders if Frank put them on the borders of Syria . Frank leaves the bunker and accuses Brockhart of orchestrating a fake terrorist threat in order to make them evacuate D.C. and effectively stage a coup d'etat to sabotage his election ; after Brockhart names the general behind the plot , the truck is `` found . '' The general is forced to resign , but not before telling Claire that neither she nor her husband deserve to be in the White House .

Pronucleus
Pronucleus - Wikipedia Pronucleus Jump to : navigation , search The process of fertilization in the ovum of a mouse . A pronucleus ( plural : pronuclei ) is the nucleus of a sperm or an egg cell during the process of fertilization , after the sperm enters the ovum , but before the genetic material of the sperm and egg fuse . Sperm and egg cells are haploid , meaning they carry half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells . The male and female pronuclei do n't fuse , although their genetic material does . Instead , their membranes dissolve , leaving no barriers between the male and female chromosomes . Their chromosomes can then combine and become part of a single diploid nucleus in the resulting embryo , containing a full set of chromosomes . The appearance of two pronuclei is the first sign of successful fertilization as observed during in vitro fertilisation , and is usually observed 18 hours after insemination or ICSI . The zygote is then termed a two - pronuclear zygote ( 2PN ) . Two - pronuclear zygotes transitioning through 1PN or 3PN states tend to develop into poorer - quality embryos than ones who remain 2PN throughout development , and may be significant in embryo selection in IVF .

Commemorating the tenth anniversary of Presley 's death , the programme featured various popular acts of the time performing cover versions of his hits . The Pet Shop Boys ' performance was so well - received that the duo decided to record the song and release it as a single . This version became the UK 's Christmas number one single that year . It went on to top the charts for four weeks in total , and reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 . The Pet Shop Boys version introduces a harmonic variation not present in the original version . In the original the ending phrase `` always on my mind '' is sung to a IV - V - I cadence ( C-D - G ) . The Pet Shop Boys extend this cadence by adding two further chords : C-D - Gm / B ♭ - C-G ( i.e. a progression of IV - V - III - IV - I ) . In November 2004 , The Daily Telegraph newspaper placed the version at number two in a list of the fifty greatest cover versions of all time . In October 2014 , a public poll compiled by the BBC saw the song voted the all - time best cover version . In the video for Pet Shop Boys ' version of `` Always on My Mind '' ( an excerpt from their surreal music film It Could n't Happen Here ) , Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are seated in the front of a taxi cab , when an eccentric passenger gets in , played by notable British actor Joss Ackland . At the end of the song , he gets out of the car , which drives away . Standing alone , he mutters : `` You went away . It should make me feel better . But I do n't know how I 'm going to get through '' , which is part of the lyrics for another Pet Shop Boys track , `` What Have I Done to Deserve This ? '' , which was released earlier in the year . In 1988 , the duo remixed the song for their third studio LP , Introspective , combining it with an acid - house track called `` In My House '' . In 2008 , Konami used the song for Dance Dance Revolution X which was released for both arcades and the Sony PlayStation 2 console . In 2010 , the song was re-used for Dance Dance Revolution X2 which was released for arcades .

Bovine serum albumin
Bovine serum albumin - wikipedia Bovine serum albumin Jump to : navigation , search This article is about albumin specific to cows . For the human variant , see human serum albumin . For the family of mammalian albumins , see serum albumin . albumin Identifiers Organism Bos taurus ( domestic cow ) Symbol ALB Entrez 280717 HomoloGene 105925 RefSeq ( mRNA ) NM_180992 RefSeq ( Prot ) NP_851335 UniProt P02769 Other data Chromosome 6 : 91.54 - 91.57 Mb Bovine serum albumin ( also known as BSA or `` Fraction V '' ) is a serum albumin protein derived from cows . It is often used as a protein concentration standard in lab experiments . The nickname `` Fraction V '' refers to albumin being the fifth fraction of the original Edwin Cohn purification methodology that made use of differential solubility characteristics of plasma proteins . By manipulating solvent concentrations , pH , salt levels , and temperature , Cohn was able to pull out successive `` fractions '' of blood plasma . The process was first commercialized with human albumin for medical use and later adopted for production of BSA . Lyophilized Bovine Serum Albumin Contents ( hide ) 1 Properties 2 Applications 3 See also 4 References 5 Further reading 6 External links Properties ( edit ) The full - length BSA precursor protein is 607 amino acids ( AAs ) in length . An N - terminal 18 - residue signal peptide is cut off from the precursor protein upon secretion , hence the initial protein product contains 589 amino acid residues . An additional four amino acids are cleaved to yield the mature BSA protein that contains 583 amino acids .

Because BSA is a small , stable , moderately non-reactive protein , it is often used as a blocker in immunohistochemistry . During immunohistochemistry , which is the process that uses antibodies to identify antigens in cells , tissue sections are often incubated with BSA blockers to bind nonspecific binding sites . This binding of BSA to nonspecific binding sites increases the chance that the antibodies will bind only to the antigens of interest . The BSA blocker improves sensitivity by decreasing background noise as the sites are covered with the moderately non-reactive protein . During this process , minimization of nonspecific binding of antibodies is essential in order to acquire the highest signal to noise ratio . BSA is also used as a nutrient in cell and microbial culture . In restriction digests , BSA is used to stabilize some enzymes during the digestion of DNA and to prevent adhesion of the enzyme to reaction tubes , pipet tips , and other vessels . This protein does not affect other enzymes that do not need it for stabilization . BSA is also commonly used to determine the quantity of other proteins , by comparing an unknown quantity of protein to known amounts of BSA ( see Bradford protein assay ) . BSA is used because of its ability to increase signal in assays , its lack of effect in many biochemical reactions , and its low cost , since large quantities of it can be readily purified from bovine blood , a byproduct of the cattle industry .

This example is fitted with an early waffle - patterned 20 - round magazine . Colt started selling the semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle as the Colt AR - 15 in 1964 . The first mass production version was the Colt AR - 15 Sporter , in . 223 Remington , with a 20 - inch barrel and issued with 5 - round magazines . Over the decades , Colt has made many different types of AR - 15 rifle and carbine models , including the AR - 15 , AR - 15A2 , AR - 15A3 , AR - 15A4 , and many other models . The AR - 15 is frequently the target of those advocating restricting access to guns in the United States . Although the sale of new AR - 15s was banned by the Federal Assault Weapons Ban from 1994 to 2004 , Colt continued to sell legally compliant versions known collectively as `` Colt Sporters '' and `` Colt Match Target rifles '' during that period . Operating mechanism ( edit ) Diagram of an M16 rifle , firing U.S. Patent 2,951,424 describes the cycling mechanism used in the original AR - 15 . The bolt carrier acts as a movable cylinder and the bolt itself acts as a stationary piston . This mechanism is often called `` direct gas impingement '' ( DGI ) , although it differs from prior gas systems . Designer Eugene Stoner did not consider the AR - 15 to be a conventional direct impingement mechanism , but that is how it came to be characterized . Gas is tapped from the barrel as the bullet moves past a gas port located above the rifle 's front sight base . The gas expands into the port and down a gas tube , located above the barrel that runs from the front sight base into the AR - 15 's upper receiver . Here , the gas tube protrudes into a `` gas key '' ( bolt carrier key ) , which accepts the gas and funnels it into the bolt carrier . At this point , the bolt is locked into the barrel extension by locking lugs , so the expanding gas forces the bolt carrier backward a short distance . As the bolt carrier moves toward the butt of the gun , the bolt cam pin , riding in a slot on the bolt carrier , forces the bolt to rotate and thus unlocks it from the barrel extension . Once the bolt is fully unlocked it begins its rearward movement along with the bolt carrier . The bolt 's rearward motion extracts the empty cartridge case from the chamber . As soon as the neck of the case clears the barrel extension , the bolt 's spring - loaded ejector forces it out the ejection port in the side of the upper receiver . Behind the bolt carrier is a plastic or metal buffer , which rests in line with a return spring . The buffer spring begins to push the bolt carrier and bolt back toward the chamber once it is compressed sufficiently . A groove machined into the upper receiver guides the bolt cam pin and prevents it and the bolt from rotating into a closed position . The bolt 's locking lugs push a fresh round from the magazine as the bolt moves forward . The round is guided by feed ramps into the chamber . As the bolt 's locking lugs move past the barrel extension , the cam pin twists into a pocket milled into the upper receiver . This twisting action follows the groove cut into the carrier and forces the bolt to twist and `` lock '' into the barrel extension . Features ( edit ) AR - 15A2 with the upper and lower receiver opened at the front hinge . The AR - 15A2 most distinctive ergonomic feature is the carrying handle and rear sight assembly on top of the receiver . Upper receivers ( edit ) The upper receiver incorporates the fore stock , the charging handle , the forward assist , the gas operating system , the barrel , the bolt and bolt carrier assembly . AR - 15s employ a modular design . Thus one upper receiver can quickly and easily be substituted for another . Upper receivers are available with barrels of different weights , lengths , calibers , and rail systems with various sights and accessories . The standard AR - 15 rifle uses a 20 '' barrel . Although , both shorter 16 '' carbine barrels and longer 24 '' target barrels are also available . Early models had barrels with a 1 : 12 rate of twist for the original 223 Remington , 55 grain ( 3.6 g ) bullets . Current models have barrels with a 1 : 9 or 1 : 7 twist rate for the 5.56 × 45mm NATO , 62 grain ( 4 g ) bullets . Lower receivers ( edit ) The lower receiver incorporates the magazine well , the pistol grip , the buttstock , the buffer and the buffer spring . The lower receiver also contains the trigger , disconnector , hammer and fire selector ( collectively known as the fire control group ) . Full - sized rifles use a fixed buttstock , while carbines generally use an adjustable telescoping buttstock . The early commercial SP - 1 AR - 15s used a pair of . 250 '' diameter receiver push pins , identical to those found on the military rifles . In 1966 the company replaced the front pin with a paired nut and screw hinge using a . 315 '' diameter pin to prevent shooters from being able to change receivers with military rifles or competitor rifles without the use of an adapter . They resumed production with the smaller and standardized . 250 '' pin in the mid-1990s . Sights ( edit ) The AR - 15 's most distinctive ergonomic feature is the carrying handle and rear sight assembly on top of the receiver . This is a by - product of the original ArmaLite design , where the carry handle served to protect the charging handle . As the line of sight is 2.5 in ( 63.5 mm ) over the bore , the AR - 15 has an inherent parallax problem . At closer ranges ( typically inside 15 -- 20 meters ) , the shooter must compensate by aiming high to place shots where desired . The standard AR - 15 rifle has a 500 mm ( 19.75 inches ) sight radius . The AR - 15 uses an L - type flip , aperture rear sight and it is adjustable with two settings , 0 to 300 meters and 300 to 400 meters . The front sight is a post adjustable for elevation . The rear sight can be adjusted for windage . The sights can be adjusted with a bullet tip or pointed tool . The AR - 15 can also mount a scope on the carrying handle . With the advent of the AR - 15A2 , a new fully adjustable rear sight was added , allowing the rear sight to be dialed in for specific range settings between 300 and 800 meters and to allow windage adjustments without the need of a tool or cartridge . Current versions such as AR - 15A4 have a detachable carrying handle and use Picatinny rails , which allows for the use of various scopes and sighting devices . Muzzle devices ( edit ) Colt AR - 15 rifles most often have a barrel threaded in 1 ⁄ 2 `` - 28 threads to incorporate the use of a muzzle device such as a flash suppressor , sound suppressor or muzzle brake . The initial design , the `` duckbill , '' had three tines or prongs and was prone to breakage and getting entangled in vegetation . The design was later changed to close the end to avoid this problem . Eventually , on the A2 version of the rifle , the bottom port was closed to reduce muzzle climb and prevent dust from rising when the rifle was fired in the prone position . For these reasons , the US military declared this muzzle device a compensator , but it is more commonly known as the `` GI '' , `` A2 '' , or `` Birdcage '' muzzle device . The standard AR15 muzzle device conforms to the STANAG dimensional requirements for firing 22mm rifle grenades . Magazines ( edit ) The Colt AR - 15 uses 20 - or 30 - round staggered - column detachable box magazines . Low - capacity 5 - or 10 - round magazines are also available to comply with legal restrictions , for hunting , for benchrest shooting or where a larger magazine can be inconvenient . AR - 15 style rifle ( edit ) Main article : AR - 15 style rifle After Colt 's patents expired in 1977 , other manufacturers began to copy the Colt AR - 15 rifle 's design . However , the term `` AR - 15 '' is a Colt registered trademark and Colt only uses the term to refer to its line of semi-automatic rifles . Therefore , other manufacturers began to market their generic AR - 15s under separate designations , although these are all frequently referred to as AR - 15s , as are some rifles and carbines that are not even based on the AR - 15 design . AR - 15 style rifles are available in a wide range of configurations and calibers from a large number of manufacturers . These configurations range from standard full - sizes rifles with 20 - inch barrels , to short carbine - length models with 16 - inch barrels , adjustable length stocks and optical sights , to long range target models with 24 - inch barrels , bipods and high - powered scopes . These rifles may also have short - stroke gas piston system , forgoing the direct gas system standard in AR - 15 rifles . These calibers include the 5.56 × 45mm NATO , 5.7 × 28mm , 6.8 mm Remington SPC , . 300 Blackout , 9 × 19mm Parabellum and . 458 SOCOM to name a few . Port Arthur massacre ( edit ) Following the use of a Colt AR - 15 in the Port Arthur massacre , the National Firearms Programme Implementation Act 1996 was enacted in Australia , restricting the private ownership of high capacity semi-automatic rifles .

Phidias
Phidias - wikipedia Phidias For the Australian artist who used the pseudonym `` Phidias '' in radio talks , see Jeffrey Smart . Phidias Showing the Frieze of the Parthenon to his Friends ( 1868 ) by Sir Lawrence Alma - Tadema Phidias or Pheidias ( / ˈfɪdiəs / ; Greek : Φειδίας , Pheidias ; c. 480 -- 430 BC ) was a Greek sculptor , painter , and architect . His statue of Zeus at Olympia was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World . Phidias also designed the statues of the goddess Athena on the Athenian Acropolis , namely the Athena Parthenos inside the Parthenon , and the Athena Promachos , a colossal bronze which stood between it and the Propylaea , a monumental gateway that served as the entrance to the Acropolis in Athens . Phidias was the son of Charmides of Athens . The ancients believed that his masters were Hegias and Ageladas . Plutarch discusses Phidias ' friendship with the Greek statesman Pericles , recording that enemies of Pericles tried to attack him through Phidias - who was accused of stealing gold intended for the Parthenon 's statue of Athena , and of impiously portraying himself and Pericles on the shield of the statue . The historical value of this account , as well as the legend about accusations against the ' Periclean circle ' , including Aspasia and Anaxagoras , is debatable , but Aristophanes mentions an incident with Phidias around that time . Phidias is often credited as the main instigator of the Classical Greek sculptural design . Today , most critics and historians consider him one of the greatest of all ancient Greek sculptors . In this replica painting by artist Charles Béranger , located in the Walters Art Museum , Phidias is depicted in the center of the auditorium . Contents 1 Works 2 Early works 3 Zeus at Olympia and the Athena Parthenos 4 Phidias ' workshop rediscovered 5 Death 6 Gallery 7 See also 8 References and sources 9 External links Works ( edit ) The Acropolis of Athens A Roman period , 2nd century CE sculpture found near the Varvakeion school reflects the type of the restored Athena Parthenos presently in the National Archaeological Museum , Athens A reconstruction of Phidias ' statue of Zeus , in an engraving made by Philippe Galle in 1572 , from a drawing by Maarten van Heemskerck Although no original works exist that can be attributed to Phidias with certainty , numerous Roman copies of varying degrees of fidelity are known to exist . This is not uncommon . Almost all classical Greek paintings and sculptures have been destroyed , and only Roman copies or notes of them exist , like the passages of Plato that ascribe Phidias ' works to him . The ancient Romans frequently copied and further developed Greek art . In antiquity Phidias was celebrated for his statues in bronze and his chryselephantine works ( statues made of gold and ivory ) . In the Hippias Major , Plato claims that Phidias seldom , if ever , executed works in marble , though many of the sculptures of his time were executed in marble . Plutarch writes that he superintended the great works ordered by Pericles on the Acropolis . Ancient critics take a very high view of the merits of Phidias . What they especially praise is the ethos or permanent moral level of his works as compared with those of the later so called `` pathetic '' school . Both Pausanias and Plutarch mention works of his depicting the warlike Athena Areia . Demetrius calls his statues sublime , and at the same time precise . Of his life we know little apart from his works . His first commission created a group of national heroes with Miltiades as a central figure . In 447 BC , the Athenian statesman Pericles commissioned several sculptures for Athens from Phidias to celebrate the Greek victory against the Persians at the Battle of Marathon during the Greco - Persian Wars ( 490 BC ) . Pericles used some of the money from the maritime League of Delos , to rebuild and decorate Athens to celebrate this victory . Inscriptions prove that the marble blocks intended for the pedimental statues of the Parthenon were not brought to Athens until 434 BC , which was probably after the death of Phidias . It is therefore possible that most of sculptural decoration of the Parthenon was the work of Phidias ' workshop including pupils of Phidias , such as Alcamenes and Agoracritus . The golden ratio has been represented by the Greek letter φ ( \ displaystyle \ varphi ) ( phi ) , after Phidias , who is said to have employed it . The golden ratio is the irrational number 1 + √ 5 / 2 , approximately equal to 1.618 , which has special mathematical properties . Early works ( edit ) Main article : Athena Promachos The earliest of the works of Phidias were dedications in memory of Marathon , celebrating the Greek victory . At Delphi he created a great group in bronze including the figures of Greek gods Apollo and Athena , several Attic heroes , and General Miltiades the Younger . On the Acropolis of Athens Phidias constructed a colossal bronze statue of Athena , the Athena Promachos , which was visible far out at sea . Athena was the goddess of wisdom and warriors and the protector of Athens . At Pellene in Achaea , and at Plataea Phidias made two other statues of Athena , as well as a statue of the goddess Aphrodite in ivory and gold for the people of Elis . Zeus at Olympia and the Athena Parthenos ( edit ) Main article : Statue of Zeus at Olympia Main article : Athena Parthenos For the ancient Greeks , two works of Phidias far outshone all others , the colossal chryselephantine Statue of Zeus ( c. 432 BC ) which was erected in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia , Greece , and the Athena Parthenos ( lit . `` Athena the Virgin '' ) , a sculpture of the Greek virgin goddess Athena , which was housed in the Parthenon in Athens . Both sculptures belong to about the middle of the 5th century BC . A number of replicas and works inspired by it , both ancient and modern , have been made . Upon completing the Athena Parthenos sculpture , Phidias was accused of embezzlement . Specifically , he was charged with shortchanging the amount of gold that was supposed to be used in the statue and keeping the extra for himself . Plutarch writes that Phidias was imprisoned and died in jail . Philochorus , however , says that Phidias went to Elis , where he worked on the colossal Statue of Zeus at Olympia . It seems that the embezzlement charge was politically motivated ; a result of his friendship with Pericles , who had many enemies in Athens . From the late 5th century BC , small copies of the statue of Zeus found on coins from Elis , which give a general notion of the pose and the character of the head . The god was seated on a throne , every part of which was used for sculptural decoration . His body was of ivory , his robe of gold . His head was of somewhat archaic type : the bust of Zeus found at Otricoli , which used to be regarded as a copy of the head of the Olympian statue , is certainly more than a century later in style . Main article : Athena Lemnia According to geographer Pausanias ( 1.28. 2 ) , the original bronze Athena Lemnia was created by Phidias ( c. 450 - 440 BC ) for Athenians living on Lemnos . He described it as `` the best of all Pheidias 's works to see '' . Adolf Furtwängler suggested that he found a copy of the Athena Lemnia in a statue of which the head is located in Bologna and the body is at Dresden . Some 5th - century BC torsos of Athena have been found at Athens . The torso of Athena in the École des Beaux - Arts at Paris , which has unfortunately lost its head , gives some idea of what the original statue may have looked like . Phidias ' workshop rediscovered ( edit ) Photo ( 2005 ) of the workshop of Phidias at Olympia A significant advancement in the knowledge of Phidias ' working methodology came during 1954 -- 58 with the excavation of the workshop at Olympia where Phidias created the Statue of Zeus at Olympia . Tools , terracotta molds and a cup inscribed on the bottom `` Φειδίου εἰμί '' ( Pheidíou eimí ) - `` I belong to Phidias '' ; literally : `` of Phidias ' ( Genitive : Φειδίου ) I am ( εἰμί ) '' , placing the more important word first ) were found here , just where the traveller Pausanias said the statue was constructed . The discovery has enabled archaeologists to re-create the techniques used to make the statue and confirm its date . Death ( edit ) Of his death we have two discrepant accounts . According to Plutarch he was made an object of attack by the political enemies of Pericles , and died in prison at Athens . According to Philochorus , as quoted by a scholiast on Aristophanes , he was put to death by the Eleans after he had completed the Statue of Zeus for them . Gallery ( edit ) Head of Aphrodite .

General Lee (car)
General Lee ( car ) - wikipedia General Lee ( car ) For other uses , see General Lee . 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 . ( December 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The General Lee The General Lee on public display , 2006 Overview Manufacturer Dodge Production 1969 Body and chassis Class Muscle car Body style 2 - door coupé Platform FR B - body Powertrain Transmission 3 - speed TorqueFlite automatic The General Lee ( sometimes referred to as simply `` the General '' ) is a 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the Duke boys , Bo and Luke , along with cousins Coy and Vance ( in season 5 ) . It is known for its signature horn , its police chases , stunts -- especially its long jumps -- and for having its doors welded shut , leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows . The car appears in every episode but one ( `` Mary Kaye 's Baby '' ) . The car 's name is a reference to American Civil War general Robert E. Lee . It bears a Confederate flag ( a rectangular variant of the square battle flag of Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia ) on its roof , and also has a horn which plays the first twelve notes of the song `` Dixie '' . The idea for the General Lee was developed from the bootlegger Jerry Rushing 's car , which was named for Lee 's favorite horse , Traveller . Traveller was also the name of the car in Moonrunners , the 1975 movie precursor to The Dukes of Hazzard . Contents 1 History 1.1 The Veluzat era 1.2 The Warner Brothers era 1.3 The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard feature film 1.4 Smallville homage 1.5 General Lee TV commercials 1.6 2015 Confederate flag controversy 2 Engines 3 Exit and entry 4 Exhaust systems 5 Tires 6 References History ( edit ) A General Lee pictured at the National Oldtimer Festival Zandvoort 2010 , The Netherlands The Confederate battle flag painted on the roof General Lee cockpit The General Lee photographed in 2010 Although the estimated number of General Lees used varies from different sources , according to former cast member Ben Jones ( `` Cooter '' in the show ) , as well as builders involved with the show , 325 General Lees were used to film the series . Others claim about 255 were used in the series . Approximately 17 still exist in various states of repair . On average , more than one General Lee was used up per show . When filming a jump , anywhere from 500 to 1,000 pounds ( 230 to 450 kg ) of sand bags or concrete ballast was placed in the trunk to prevent the car from nosing over . Later in the series the mechanics would raise the front end of the car to keep it from scraping against the ramp causing it to lose speed , thereby providing a cushion for the driver upon landing . Stunt drivers report enjoying the flights but hating the landings . Despite the ballast , the landing attitude of the car was somewhat unpredictable , resulting in moderate to extremely violent forces , depending on how it landed . On many of the jumps the cars bent upon impact . All cars used in large jumps were immediately retired due to structural damage . Chargers from model - years 1968 & 1969 ( no 1970 Chargers were used until the 2005 movie ) were sourced and converted to General Lee specifications ( taillights , grills , etc . ) . Despite popular belief , according to all builders involved over the years , obtaining cars was not a problem until later years . By that time , the car was the star of the show and Warner Bros. ( WB ) moved building of the cars in - house to keep the cars consistent in appearance . Later in the show 's run , when it got too hard and / or expensive to continue procuring more Chargers , the producers started using more `` jump footage '' from previous episodes . In the final season radio - controlled miniatures were occasionally used to the chagrin of several cast members . Episodes 1 through 5 were filmed in the Georgia towns of Covington and Conyers in November and December 1978 . Georgia episode cars consisted of six Dodge Chargers . The first General Lees were built by Warner Bros. and shipped to Georgia where John Marendi ( picture car coordinator ) labeled the first three cars `` LEE 1 '' , `` LEE 2 '' , and `` LEE 3 '' in no particular order for film editing purposes . LEE 1 was a second unit car with a full roll cage . It is a 383 V8 - powered 1969 Charger equipped with air - conditioning , an AM / FM stereo , power steering , and power drum brakes . It was originally painted in code T3 `` Light Bronze Metallic '' with a tan interior , a black vinyl top and chrome rocker trim . The rocker trim was left on due to previously poor body work on the left quarter panel , the gas cap trim , and wheel well trim were missing so the trim was removed on LEE 2 and 3 to match . It should also be noted that the chrome vinyl top trim was supposed to be removed but since the left quarter panel had been replaced and was very poorly installed the trim had to be left on to hide the body work and as a result most General Lees throughout the series had vinyl top trim . After the now - famous jump over Rosco P. Coltrane 's police cruiser by stuntman Craig Baxley , it was stripped of its front seats and 1969 - specific grill and taillight panel . LEE 1 was used once more as the `` Richard Petty '' tire test car in the fourth episode `` Repo Men '' . LEE 2 , like LEE 1 , was a second unit car with a full roll cage , a 383 V - 8 , a floor shifted automatic transmission and A / C. Originally painted B5 Blue with a black interior , the interior was repainted tan to match LEE 1 and 3 though its steering wheel remained black . It was used for the opening scene in `` One Armed Bandits '' . In this scene , Bo and Luke were chasing Rosco 's police cruiser with the General after Cooter stole it . LEE 3 was the first unit 1 close - up car and the first General Lee built by Warner Brothers ; it is seen in the first publicity photos . It was originally a F5 Medium Green Metallic R / T SE ( Special Edition ) model with a tan vinyl top . It was powered by a 440 Magnum engine with 375 HP , the car weighed 3,671 - pound ( 1,665 kg ) . LEE 3 was equipped with A / C , power windows , a wood grain dash , and an AM radio . It also had a factory tachometer ( which can be seen on `` Repo Men '' ) . This car had a tan leather interior and a removable roll bar that allowed installation of a camera for in - car shots . This car was painted 1975 Corvette Flame Red with a special base coat ; the base coat was used after they found LEE 1 's paint appeared to be blotchy due to the direct application over factory paint , they had first been painted Chrysler code EV2 or `` Hemi Orange '' . Eventually , the first three General Lees started to show visible damage , so the crew had to start making more . The first General Lee built in Georgia was a 1968 Charger converted to look like a 1969 ; the tail light panel , front grill , and front seats taken from LEE 1 were used . Interiors not originally tan were sprayed with SEM brand `` Saddle tan '' vinyl dye . The first three Georgia Lees had a set of crossed flags ( a Confederate flag and checkered flag ) on the panel between the rear window and trunk lid . Although four sets were created , only three were used . They were discontinued due to the continuity of the General Lee graphics , making it one less thing to be used . The three surviving cars went back to California and had the crossed flags removed upon reconditioning . The wheels were generally 14 - by - 7 - inch ( 36 cm × 18 cm ) American Racing brand `` Vectors '' throughout the show ( with Carroll Shelby center caps ) and were mainly mounted on P235 / 70R14 B. F. Goodrich Radial T / A tires with the blackwall side facing out . LEE 1 was sold to professional golfer Bubba Watson at the 2012 Barrett - Jackson Scottsdale auction for US $110,000 ( US $121,000 after buyer premium ) . The Veluzat era ( edit ) Andre and Renaud Veluzat built General Lees for WB from the second season into the fourth season . Viewers can also see two `` Georgia '' cars used often up into the early second season . LEE 3 and a specially caged car never appearing ( but built ) in Georgia were used heavily in early California episodes . The Veluzats were somewhat inconsistent in how they built the cars , so this is when the most variations from specification are found . The paint was GM code 70 , Flame Red ( still orange , just the name of the color ) , but there does appear to be some variance here : interiors were mostly dyed brown and occasionally SEM Saddle Tan . According to some sources , the Veluzats charged WB $250 a week per car for rental and a lump sum of $2000 to $3000 upon destruction of the vehicles ; this included police cars . WB mechanics had to maintain the cars at company expense . The money generated by building General Lees financed the Veluzat family project of restoring Gene Autry 's Melody Ranch ; it had burned in the 1960s . This ranch is where many classic Western films were shot , as well as the television series Gunsmoke . Today , it is a fully functional movie ranch where shows such as HBO 's Deadwood are filmed . The Warner Brothers era ( edit ) By 1983 , Warner Brothers turned total control of building General Lees to a man named Ken Fritz . Fritz did n't have the job long before he too was fired and at this point Warner Brothers moved full production in - house . The General Lee was now the highlight of the series , and WB received enormous amounts of Lee - specific fan mail that nit - picked the inconsistencies of the cars . Because of the fame of General Lee , WB had their staff mechanics build the cars to a specific appearance , even underneath . All graphics had to meet specifications , all side markers and rocker panel chrome trim were removed ; and roll bars and push bars had to meet an exact specification . However , some changes were made before the specifications were laid out : The push bar became wider , the interior became a light beige color , and the roll bars were covered in black foam padding . During this period , the only way to distinguish the 1968 conversions from the 1969 originals is by the shape of the dashboard padding . As the WB era rolled on , finding the cars became difficult : Piper Cubs were hired to perform aerial searches for 1968 , 1969 , and 1970 Chargers amongst the populace ; the jumped cars were now no longer scrapped after one jump if deemed salvageable , and were repaired and used until they could no longer function ; and , as last resort , miniature radio - controlled models were also brought in toward the end of the series to replace most of the big jump stunts , thereby saving more cars -- something that proved unpopular with many episode directors ( including Tom Wopat ) who felt that the models did not look realistic . By this time , there was also a rivalry for `` TV 's greatest car '' with the Knight Rider series , leading to the models being used more and more for greater jumps to try to out - do that series . Taking full control also saved some money , as now WB had the ability to buy cars , recondition them , and use them without paying daily rental fees . The General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard feature film ( edit ) At the beginning of the movie , the General was a faded orange with a hand - painted `` 01 '' on the doors , black steel wheels , standard front bumper , and no Confederate Naval Flag . Midway through the film , Cooter repairs the General after it is vandalized by Boss Hogg 's hirelings . He repaints it a bright Hemi orange and adds the well - known trademarks ( American Racing `` Vector '' 10 - spoke `` turbine '' wheels , octagonal `` 01 '' , black grille guard , Confederate flag on the roof , `` Dixie '' horn , and `` General Lee '' above the door window openings ) . The movie General not only flies and makes controlled landings , but also drifts with the aid of professional drifter Rhys Millen . During jump scenes , some stunt cars were propelled under their own power by stunt drivers ; others had their engines and transmissions removed . The engineless Chargers were then launched without drivers by a gas - driven catapult similar in principle to those used on aircraft carriers . Approximately 24 1968 to 1970 Chargers were used in the film . Unlike the television show era Lees , the movie cars used aftermarket graphic kits . The movie gave them new credibility and is no longer considered to be an inaccurate choice . Otherwise , except for the white letters on the Goodrich `` Radial T / A '' tires , the exterior of the movie 's `` close - up '' General Lees varied little from the television show cars . The paint was `` Big Bad Orange '' ( an American Motors Corporation color ) rather than Corvette `` Flame Red '' ; the interior headliner was black instead of tan , an actual roll cage was used ; a three - spoke Grant wood - trimmed steering wheel replaced the standard wheel , an AM / FM stereo radio with Compact Disc player was installed in the dashboard ; and the interiors were a custom color vinyl fabric made to look like the dye / paint used in the later eras of the TV show . One still can differentiate the 1968 Chargers by looking at the dash pad , but now 1970 Chargers were thrown in the mix . The cars somewhat resembled a late 1990s to early 2000s ( decade ) General Lee clone , but the overall flavor of the General Lee is still obvious . On all of the cars , the back - up lights and side marker lenses were removed , the openings filled in . Eleven of the cars used for the movie had been purchased from the Luedtke Auto Group . Many of the cars had been cut up to allow for inside camera views . General Lee number 020 was the drift car used in the drifting scene around Lee Circle and was also the car racing the black Shelby at the end of the movie . It was the only 4 - speed equipped cars and was the backup to car # 005 . The car contains a unique emergency brake handle near the shifter that allowed the stunt driver quick access to locking the rear brakes at will . Though it did sustain some damage during filming , it is fully road worthy and is privately owned by Troy Martinson in Minnesota . Two of the General Lees ( a 1969 R / T SE and a 1970 made to appear as a 1969 ) were temporarily sold to Warner Brothers by Everett `` J.R. '' Barton of Wichita , Kansas , for $1.00 each then sold back to him for $1.25 . They were picked up from him in Wichita and were transported to Baton Rouge , both in driving condition . The 1970 ( made to 1969 ) car then had the engine removed , got the General Lee treatment then weight added to balance the car for the main Freeway jump . One other car was used before this car . The first one landed hard on its nose , broke , and careened right into the guardrail . Given its problematic landing it was not used for that scene . Mr. Barton 's car , number 127 , was then used for that scene . It was launched from a catapult system , much like that used on aircraft carriers . It flew the farthest of all the jumps in the film and truly did survive . This is the car that made that jump in the film . After the filming the cars were returned to Everett . Everett then put a motor back in the car and even in its jumped condition had driven it in a couple of parades . After keeping the car for 8 years , he sold it to an individual that plans to have it restored to show quality . It will be restored from the men on the TV show Graveyard Cars . Smallville homage ( edit ) Early in the fifth - season episode `` Exposed '' of the television series Smallville , former Dukes of Hazzard co-star Tom Wopat ( Luke Duke ) , playing Kansas Senator Jack Jennings , old friend of Jonathan Kent , played by John Schneider ( Bo Duke ) , fishtails his car into the Kent farmyard . The car is a 1968 Dodge Charger R / T , painted blue instead of orange , and lacking the General Lee 's distinctive insignia . General Lee TV commercials ( edit ) In 2014 the General Lee was featured in a commercial spot for AutoTrader . The commercial featured the General Lee with Dukes of Hazzard stars John Schneider and Tom Wopat . The Duke 's theme song `` Good Ole Boys '' can be heard playing during the commercial . The video was released on June 6 , 2014 . 2015 Confederate flag controversy ( edit ) In the aftermath of the 2015 Charleston , South Carolina shooting deaths , there was a backlash against the Confederate battle flag , due to the flag 's historical associations with slavery . In response , Warner Bros. Entertainment , Inc. announced they would halt production of General Lee toy cars . Ben Jones criticized the move , stating , `` I think all of Hazzard Nation understands that the Confederate battle flag is the symbol that represents the indomitable spirit of independence which keeps us ' makin ' our way the only way we know how . ' '' John Schneider responded by stating , `` I take exception to those who say that the flag on the General Lee should always be considered a symbol of racism . Is the flag used as such in other applications ? Yes , but certainly not on the Dukes . '' On July 2 , 2015 , golfer Bubba Watson , current owner of LEE 1 , announced via Twitter that he would be painting over the Confederate flag on the car 's roof . Watson 's announcement prompted Brian Grams , director of the Volo Auto Museum , to offer to purchase Watson 's General Lee , citing how Watson 's car was significant because it was used in the show 's first season and would be worthy of inclusion in the museum 's collection . His offer was turned down . Engines ( edit ) Engines in the TV show General Lees varied ; they used 318 , 383 , and 440 - cubic - inch engines . None of the TV series cars had the 426 Hemi , although in the 2005 The Dukes of Hazzard motion picture , Cooter replaced the `` General 's '' original engine with a Chrysler 426 Hemi engine . However , the `` close - up '' Lees ( except for the first one ) were 383 - powered . The special purpose built `` Ski Car '' ( the car that was used for stunts involving driving on the left side or right side wheels with the opposite side wheels in the air ) had a 318 , as it was lighter weight . Most of the ' workhorse ' stunt cars had 383s and 440s . The stunt drivers tended to prefer 440s ( a higher performance engine ) for jumps , so 440 - powered stunt Lees were often saved for the higher bobby and longer jumps . Also , though early sound effects led many people to believe otherwise , only a handful of Chargers had manual transmissions ; most had 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmissions . Exit and entry ( edit ) The General Lee , except in the beginning of the movie , does not have opening doors . In the TV series , it is explained that racing cars have their doors welded shut , and this was often used for comedic effect when Uncle Jesse or Boss Hogg required help to squeeze through the window . ( In one episode , Sheriff Rosco hires a bounty hunter ( Jason Steele in the show ) to create a fake General Lee and trick the Dukes into driving it , at which point he promptly orders their arrest for auto theft . The fake car was easily identified because its doors opened . ) This was not at first planned but while filming the first chase ( where Bo and Luke are chasing Cooter in Rosco 's car ) the passenger 's door handle was damaged ( when it hit the mail boxes ) and could n't be opened from the outside , so Tom Wopat ( Luke ) climbed though the window and the director loved the move so much he had John Schneider ( Bo ) climb in too , this is why only LEE 1 and 2 had full roll cages and all other General Lees only had a roll bar ( this made it easier for the actors to get in and out ) . In the movie , the car has been repaired after being trashed , but the doors could not be fixed fast enough . The driver and passenger must slide in the window ( as in NASCAR ) . For a running entry , Bo and Luke also slide over the hood rather than walk around the front of the car . However , in the prequel The Dukes of Hazzard : The Beginning , the left door was welded shut while the right one was not . Exhaust systems ( edit ) Exhaust systems were basic : some had glasspack mufflers , but most had standard exhausts with the pipe cut just before the rear end . The exhaust sound that can be heard on most of the California - era episode General Lees is from a Thrush brand glasspack . The sounds came from the exhaust systems fitted to the `` close - up '' cars ; the parts used were Blackjack brand headers , dual exhausts , and the aforementioned Thrush mufflers . However , the sounds were dubbed in after the scene was filmed . Tires ( edit ) Tires used on the General Lee varied , but the best known make and model was the B.F. Goodrich Radial T / A . The most common size was P235 / 70R14 ; P235 / 70R15 was also used . Winston Winners were also used . References ( edit ) Wikimedia Commons has media related to The General Lee .

what was the car on dukes of hazzard
[ "The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply \"the General\") is a 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the Duke boys, Bo and Luke, along with cousins Coy and Vance (in season 5). It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one (\"Mary Kaye's Baby\"). The car's name is a reference to American Civil War general Robert E. Lee. It bears a Confederate flag (a rectangular variant of the square battle flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia) on its roof, and also has a horn which plays the first twelve notes of the song \"Dixie\".[1]\n" ]

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( March 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Dave , a dealer for Guitar Hero , and Ronnie , a stay - at - home mom , are a typical couple raising two young children in the suburbs of Chicago . They experience various stresses including redecorating their house and raising their kids . Joey and Lucy are high school sweethearts with a smart but naive teenage daughter named Lacey . Their relationship is on the rocks and they are even considering a divorce once Lacey goes off to college . Jason and Cynthia are a neurotic couple who 've experienced multiple failed attempts to conceive , and Shane , recently divorced from his wife , has a much younger twenty - year - old girlfriend , Trudy . At Dave 's son 's birthday party , Jason and Cynthia , using a PowerPoint presentation , announce their troubled marriage and they are considering divorce because they can not have a baby . As a last - ditch effort , they have found a couples therapy resort named Eden . A deal called the Pelican Package is half the normal cost if they can get three other couples to join them . In their presentation , they show beautiful pictures of sunlit beaches and beautiful locations . They also assure the others that the couples therapy is purely optional . Dave and Ronnie discuss their inability to go because of childcare responsibilities and decline the trip . In the middle of the night , their home security alarm is activated when Jason shows up unexpectedly to further sell the idea of the retreat . The commotion wakes the kids , who have overheard their parents ' conversations of not being able to go because of them . Fearing that their parents are contemplating divorce , the kids have already arranged for Dave 's father , Grandpa Jim - Jim to babysit so their parents can go to Eden . The retreat proves to be divided into Eden West and Eden East . West is for couples and uses the tagline `` Stay Together '' . East is for singles and uses the tagline `` Come Together '' . East and West attendees are not allowed to intermingle . Upon arrival at Eden West , the four couples are shown their villas . At dinner , resort host Ctanley informs them that couples therapy , which starts at 6 a.m. , is actually mandatory . If any couple fails to attend , it will be taken as an indication that they want to leave , and a refund for Eden will be given , although not for their airfare . The group debates what to do . After an indulgent dinner with many delicacies , they decide to put up with `` a couple of hours '' of therapy in order to enjoy the other amenities of the resort . In the morning , each couple meets with an assigned therapist . All four couples learn that they have problems , even Ronnie and Dave , who thought they were fine . They endure resort owner Marcel 's unusual methods , including swimming with and feeding lemon sharks and yoga sessions with amorous instructor Salvadore . On the fourth night , Trudy escapes to Eden East . The other seven , encouraged by Joey who is unsatisfied with his marriage , leave to find her . Following an argument between Cynthia and Jason , the men and women split up . As they try to find their way to the resort , the men end up arguing and pointing out each other 's marriage mistakes . The women run into Salvadore who takes them to Eden East . The men come across the staff lounge where they find Sctanley playing Guitar Hero . He threatens to report them to Marcel , but Dave challenges him to the game ( without telling Sctanley that he is involved in the game 's production ) . Sctanley , after having lost the wager , directs them to Eden East , even though he knows he was tricked by Dave . When they arrive , Dave realizes what a good thing he has with Ronnie . He goes with her to be alone at a waterfall . Joey finds Lucy with Salvadore and knocks him out , reuniting with his wife . Cynthia and Jason share drinks and end up becoming intimate . Shane runs into his ex-wife , who admits she still loves him . Shane tells Trudy to remain in Eden East and enjoy being single , then leaves with his ex-wife . All four couples return to Eden West . Marcel , seeing that the couples have worked out their problems , frees them from the therapy and allows them to go jet skiing , and with that , really enjoy the rest of their vacation . Cast ( edit ) Vince Vaughn and Malin Åkerman as Dave and Ronnie ( last name not revealed ) , a typical suburban couple with two children . Their marriage seems fine , but each of them realize that Dave tends to undermine Ronnie by crossing emotional boundaries and blocking her needs due to his exhausting work . At the conclusion of their therapy , Marcel grants them the ass as their animal spirit because they are both stubborn , and they bear the burden of not only their troubles but also those of others . Jon Favreau and Kristin Davis as Joey and Lucy Tanzini , high school sweethearts that have fallen apart due to their belief that they `` missed out '' on living after high school , having been married and becoming parents immediately after and are contemplating getting a divorce as soon as their daughter goes off to college . They have a daughter named Lacey who is a smart but somewhat rebellious teen . After reuniting in therapy , Marcel gives them a wolf spirit token as they are pack animals but their hearts always lie with their destined mate . Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell as Jason and Cynthia Smith , a troubled couple whose idea it was to go to Eden with their friends . Their issues stem from a lack of communication complicated with Jason 's more controlling methods and their trouble with conceiving a baby . They are a very organized couple and are the most interested in repairing their relationship . Marcel grants them a rabbit token after they reunite , due to their innate ability to overcome any obstacles that stand in their way . Faizon Love and Kali Hawk as Shane and Trudy , a completely polar opposite couple . Trudy and Shane soon tire of each other due to their differences in age and interests . Trudy goes off to the local single scene , and while attempting to find her and bring her back , Shane and his wife Jennifer reconcile instead . They are given the token of the honeybee to symbolize that while they may visit other flowers from time to time , nothing is as sweet as returning to their hive . Jean Reno plays Marcel , the lead therapist , founder and operator of the resort Peter Serafinowicz plays Sctanley ( pronounced Stanley , from a silent `` c '' ) , the English manager of the resort who oversees the couples ' stay and was the original scoring champion of Guitar Hero on the island . ( Vaughan 's DVD commentary explains the silent `` c '' as simple fun ) Tasha Smith as Jennifer , ex-wife of Shane Jonna Walsh as Lacey Tanzini Ken Jeong as a therapist Amy Hill as a therapist John Michael Higgins as a therapist Carlos Ponce as Salvadore , the yoga instructor Temuera Morrison as Briggs , the native assistant to Marcel - his name is misspelt as Temeura in the opening credits Karen David as Spa Attendant Vince Vaughn 's real - life father , Vernon Vaughn , plays his on - screen father . Soundtrack ( edit ) Main article : Couples Retreat ( soundtrack ) Production ( edit ) Filming locations ( edit ) The primary location for filming was at the St. Regis Bora Bora Resort , Bora Bora in French Polynesia . Other filming locations include Los Angeles , Universal Studios and O'Hare International Airport . Marketing ( edit ) Universal Pictures was criticized for removing actors Faizon Love and Kali Hawk from the international posters for the film , showing only six rather than the eight cast members used for the U.S. promotional materials . The studio said it regretted causing offense and has abandoned plans to use the revised poster in other countries . Universal Pictures partnered with various groups for financial support to help market the film . Sponsors include the Tourism Board of Tahiti where the film was made , the manufacturers of Bud Light and Captain Morgan 's Rum , Bloomingdale 's department store , and Crunch Gyms . The video game Guitar Hero is also prominently featured in the film as it is considered one of the best games ever made . Reception ( edit ) Critical reviews ( edit ) Couples Retreat received generally negative reviews from critics . On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 11 % based on 159 reviews with an average rating of 3.6 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Despite a talented cast and some reliably pleasant interplay between Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn , Couples Retreat leaves viewers stranded in an arid , mirthless comedy . '' On Metacritic , the film has a score of 23 out of 100 based on 27 critics , indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B '' on an A+ to F scale . Litigation ( edit ) A former model and current salon stylist , Irina Krupnik , filed a $10 million misappropriation - of - likeness invasion - of - privacy lawsuit , naming several defendants including the producers of Couples Retreat arising from a purported masturbation scene in which actor Jon Favreau uses a photo of her . Manhattan Supreme Court Judge O. Peter Sherwood ruled against Krupnik , and she received nothing . Box Office ( edit ) Despite the negative critical reception , it was a box office success , ranking first for its opening weekend grossing $34,286,740 and becoming Vince Vaughn 's highest box office success since 2006 's The Break - Up . The film has grossed $109.2 million domestically and $58.8 million in foreign markets for a worldwide total of $171 million .

United States foreign aid
United States foreign aid - wikipedia United States foreign aid United States foreign aid is aid given by the United States government to other governments . It does not include money from private charitable organizations based in the United States , or remittances sent between family members . There are two broad categories : military aid and economic assistance . The Congressional Research Service divides it into five categories : bilateral development aid , economic assistance , humanitarian aid , multilateral economic contributions , and military aid . Foreign aid recipients include developing countries , countries of strategic importance to the United States , and countries recovering from war . The government channels about half of its economic assistance through a specialized agency , the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID ) . Government - sponsored foreign aid began a systematic fashion after World War II ; there were numerous programs of which the largest were the Marshall Plan of 1948 and the Mutual Security Act of 1951 - 61 . Military aid provided to foreign countries varies mostly on what natural resources the foreign country has to offer . Foreign aid is generally unpopular with the general public , with a 2017 poll finding 57 % favor a cut and 6 % who want increased aid . On the other hand , foreign aid has bipartisan support in Congress , and most Americans overestimate foreign aid as a share of the total federal budget . In the past , less than 1 % of the national budget went to foreign assistance . As of fiscal year 2017 , foreign aid between the U.S. State Department and USAID totaled $50.1 billion , or just over 1 % of the budget .

As of 2016 the US has undertook a ten - year pledge to provide $3.9 B per year until 2026 . History ( edit ) World war i ( edit ) During World War One , the Committee for Relief in Belgium ( CRB ) , which sent food to the hungry in that war - torn country , received $387 million from the U.S. government ( as well as $314 million from the British and French governments and about $200 million from non-governmental sources ) . These government monies were given in the form of loans , but a considerable portion of those loans was forgiven . After the war , the American Relief Administration , directed by Herbert Hoover who had also been prominent in the CRB , continued food distribution to war - devastated European countries . It also distributed food and combated typhus in Russia during 1921 - 23 . The U.S. Congress appropriated $20 million for the ARA under the Russian Famine Relief Act of 1921 . World war II ( edit ) Levels of United States aid increased greatly during World War Two , mainly on account of the Lend - lease program . United States government aid remained high in the decade after the war because of contributions to European reconstruction , and competition for influence versus the Communist powers in the first years of the Cold War . By 1960 , the annual aid amount had receded to about half of what it was in the early post-war years , and , in inflation - adjusted terms , it has remained at that level -- with some fluctuations -- until the present . The Lend - lease program , which began in 1941 ( before the U.S. entrance in the war ) was an arrangement whereby the United States sent large amounts of war materials and other supplies to nations whose defense was considered vital to the defense of the United States . It began with the passage by Congress of the Lend - lease act ( PL 77 - 11 ) on 11 March 1941 . Initially , the main recipient was Great Britain ; the Soviet Union began receiving supplies ( paid for in gold ) in June 1941 outside of Lend - lease , and was included in the Lend - lease agreement in November 1941 . By the end of the war , most of the Allied countries had been declared eligible for Lend - lease aid , although not all received it . By the time the program was ended by President Truman in August 1945 , more than $50 billion worth of supplies had been disbursed , of which the Commonwealth countries received $31 billion and the Soviet Union $11 billion . Although formally the material was loaned , in the end only partial repayment was demanded . A second wartime aid program , the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration ( UNRRA ) , was founded in November 1943 , by 44 Allied governments , for the purpose of assisting and resettling displaced victims of the war . Its initial focus was on assisting people in areas the Allies had captured from the Axis powers : distributing food , clothing and other essentials , and helping with medical care and sanitation . Later it also assisted in the resumption of agriculture and industry . Each of the 44 signatories was supposed to contribute one percent of its national income . The chief beneficiaries were China , Czechoslovakia , Greece , Italy , Poland , the Ukrainian SSR and Yugoslavia . UNRRA returned about 7 million displaced people to their countries of origin and provided refugee camps for about one million who were unwilling to be repatriated . UNRRA ceased operations in Europe in mid-1947 ; some of its activities in Asia continued under other auspices until early 1949 . In the end 52 countries had contributed as donors . Contributions from governments and private organizations during the four years of the program totaled over $3.8 billion ; more than half of that was from the United States . Cold war ( edit ) After the war , the United States began giving large amounts of aid to Greece and Turkey under the Truman doctrine . Both countries were experiencing civil strife between communist and anti-communist factions , and the President and his advisors feared that their efforts to keep European countries from adopting communism might be about to suffer a serious setback . In December 1946 , the Prime Minister of Greece visited Washington and requested additional United States aid . Truman promulgated his containment doctrine in early 1947 , a major component of which was to be aid to the world 's poor countries in order to blunt the appeals of radicalism to their hungry peoples and to bolster their anti-communist political elements . In May 1947 the U.S. government granted Greece $300 million in military and economic aid . Turkey received $100 million . The U.S. government gave Greece $362 million in 1949 , and U.S. aid to Greece generally remained over $100 million annually until 1998 . The most well - known , and largest , United States aid program in the immediate post-war years was the European Recovery Program ( ERP ) . More often known as the Marshall Plan , it was the creation of George Kennan , William Clayton , and others at the U.S. State Department under Secretary of State George Marshall . Publicly suggested by Marshall in June 1947 , and put into action about a year later , the Plan was essentially an extension of the Greece -- Turkey aid strategy to the rest of Europe . The U.S. administration considered the stability of the existing governments in Western Europe vital to its own interests . On 3 April 1948 , President Truman signed the Economic Cooperation Act , establishing the Economic Cooperation Administration ( ECA ) to administer the program , and actual disbursements got underway . The focus was on promoting production , stabilizing currencies , and promoting international trade . To be eligible for the aid , a country had to sign an agreement with the United States government committing itself to the Act 's purposes . The Communist countries were formally invited to participate in the Plan although Secretary Marshall thought it unlikely that they would accept and they did in fact decline the aid . Also in 1948 , the United States and the recipient countries created the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation ( OEEC -- it became the OECD in 1961 ) to coordinate the use of the aid . A large portion of the money given was used to purchase goods from the United States , and the ships used to transport the goods had to be of U.S. nationality . Until after the Korean War , military aid was not part of the plan . The Marshall Plan ended in December 1951 and its functions were transferred to the Mutual Security Administration . The United States government gave out about $12.5 billion under the Plan during its three - and - a-half year existence . The countries receiving the most were Great Britain ( $3.3 billion ) , France ( $2.3 billion ) and West Germany ( $1.4 billion ) . From 1945 to 1953 -- U.S. provides grants and credits amounting to $5.9 billion to Asian countries , especially China / Taiwan ( $1.051 billion ) , India ( $255 million ) , Indonesia ( $215 million ) , Japan ( $2.44 billion ) , South Korea ( $894 million ) , Pakistan ( $98 million ) and the Philippines ( $803 million ) . In addition , another $282 million went to Israel and $196 million to the rest of the Middle East . The main category was economic aid , but some military aid was provided . All this aid was separate from the Marshall Plan . USAID ( edit ) Congress passed the Foreign Assistance Act on September 4 , 1961 , reorganizing U.S. foreign assistance programs and separating military and non-military aid . The Act man which was established by President Kennedy two months later . USAID became the first U.S. foreign assistance organization whose primary focus was long - term economic and social development . 2000s ( edit ) U.S. Foreign Aid by Implementing Agency FY2009 - FY2013 , Reported in $ US millions , Obligations Implementing Agency 2009 2011 2012 2013 2014 African Development Foundation 35.32 30.86 33.91 29.64 27.84 31.78 Department of Agriculture 244.23 545.52 329.56 369.45 334.82 248.86 Department of Commerce 9.26 9.87 6.23 15.65 18.33 9.11 Department of Defense 14,527.79 15,274.05 18,821.63 17,666.48 8,250.63 10,552.90 Department of Energy 749.51 1,036.85 1,426.41 691.14 972.90 670.21 Department of Health and Human Services 2,713.37 2,717.16 2,258.21 2,281.97 3,079.29 2,695.37 Department of Homeland Security 8.04 6.08 4.09 5.15 0.00 2.67 Department of Justice 43.60 36.46 20.86 18.72 14.06 13.85 Department of Labor 53.78 73.47 52.75 12.16 30.55 17.00 Department of State 6,674.46 6,477.13 6,023.83 6,089.06 5,390.79 6,824.22 Department of the Air Force 4.90 6.43 18.51 0.00 0.06 3.62 Department of the Army 935.81 774.72 420.50 137.53 37.02 15.18 Department of the Interior 1,087.52 225.67 328.07 225.00 216.95 292.18 Department of the Navy 26.57 0.26 17.84 6.81 4.67 Department of the Treasury 1,637.74 2,245.32 2,033.89 2,834.18 2,673.16 2,838.22 Department of Transportation 2.17 3.84 2.87 7.61 3.95 0.27 Environmental Protection Agency 24.67 40.59 22.19 50.62 21.92 20.44 Federal Trade Commission 0.61 0.73 0.33 0.21 0.00 Inter-American Foundation 24.96 25.84 22.96 25.44 26.20 27.79 Millennium Challenge Corporation 1,016.78 873.67 581.00 413.02 1,115.55 567.34 Open World Leadership Center 15.50 12.82 0.00 0.00 0.00 Peace Corps 350.67 389.61 419.09 401.34 386.75 405.60 Trade and Development Agency 42.78 49.88 41.17 44.14 40.64 44.34 U.S. Agency for International Development 16,191.31 17,344.78 15,644.51 18,232.36 17,461.78 17,822.82 President Obama announced to the UN Millennium Development Goals summit in September 2010 that the United States was changing its policy towards foreign aid . The President said the country would focus more on effectiveness , and make sure donated food , medicine , and money help countries get to the point where they no longer require such aid . Infrastructure set up for the President 's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief would be used to build capacity in local health care systems to improve maternal and child health , and also fight tropical diseases . The new policy would increase the profile and participation of the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID ) , which would coordinate more directly with the National Security Council and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton . Some observers criticized the link with national security and foreign policy as unhelpful for the impoverished , and others lamented the attempted streamlining as only adding more bureaucracy . Foreign aid is a highly partisan issue in the United States , with liberals , on average , supporting government - funded foreign aid much more than conservatives do , who tend to prefer to provide foreign aid privately .

The discussion page may contain suggestions . ( December 2017 ) Interviews with 1,012 adult Americans were conducted by telephone by Opinion Research Corporation in January 2011 : Published by CNN , the response was that 81 % felt that reducing aid to foreign countries was a good way to reduce the federal budget deficit , while 18 % thought aid was more important than reducing deficit . Thomas Pogge , Director of the Global Justice Program and Leitner Professor of Philosophy and International Affairs at Yale University , has predicted that public opinion will not change even while the hardships suffered by poor people are rising , partly as a result of the Global Financial Crisis . Some claim the U.S. is helping corrupt governments with the aid . Worldwide opinion of the United States improves with contributions to developing countries . Public knowledge of aid ( edit ) Several polls have been done assessing the knowledge of the US Public in regards to how much they know about the government 's foreign aid spending . A poll conducted by World Public Opinion in 2010 found that the average estimate for how much of the government 's budget is spent on foreign aid was 25 percent . The average amount proposed by the public was 10 percent of the federal government 's budget be used on foreign aid . In actuality , less than 1 percent of the US federal budget goes towards foreign aid . Less than 19 percent of respondents thought that the percent of the budget that goes towards foreign aid was less than 5 percent . Steven Kull , director of PIPA , relates this overestimation towards an increase in hearing about foreign aid efforts during the Obama administration , but estimates of foreign aid have always been high . A poll conducted in 2013 by Research Pew Center found that the majority of Americans wanted to either maintain or increase spending on all US government initiatives except foreign aid . This is attributed , by Alice C. Hu , to a gross misconception of how much of the federal budget is actually spent on foreign aid . Opinions change ( edit ) A study by the Washington Post from 2017 shows that Americans are easily persuaded in regards to their opinions on US foreign aid . The percentage of people who were provided no argument regarding foreign aid and though the US spends too much on it was 67 percent . The percentage of people who were provided a positive argument for foreign aid and thought the US spent too much on it was 28 percent . The percentage of people who were provided a negative argument against foreign aid and thought that the US spends too much on it was 88 percent . This shows that the US public is perceptive to changing their beliefs about US foreign aid based on the information presented . Because the US public is perceptive to information regarding public aid , Steven Kull , Director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes , laid out steps to preserve or create a positive outlook on US foreign aid . Understand the attacks on foreign aid . Do not frame questions about public opinion in terms of priorities because people are likely to prioritize domestic issues . Emphasize that only 1 percent of the federal budget goes towards foreign aid , as the Clinton administration did in the 1990s . Americans feel that the US does more than its fair share on the world stage , so differentiate between foreign aid and military spending . Note that other countries , apart of multilateral frameworks , are doing their part in contributing to foreign aid efforts . Discuss that NGOs get a large sum of foreign aid to counter claims that aid only leads to further governmental corruption . Point out that foreign aid is a safe way to improve US relations with other nation - states , therefore promoting self - interest . Recipients of foreign aid ( edit ) A study by Andy Baker , a political scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder , found that Americans are more likely to support foreign aid going to an African country than they are to support foreign aid going to an Eastern European country . Respondents averaged wanting to cut aid going to those of European descent by 40 percent , while respondents averaged wanting to cut aid going to those of African descent by only 11 percent . Baker attributes this to a paternalistic view Americans have of themselves over those of African descent . Spend amount and destination ( edit ) Because of the size of the US federal budget , the 0.7 percent of the budget put towards foreign aid totaled 23 billion dollars in 2012 . Most US foreign aid does not go to other governments due to skepticism about corruption in other countries . There is a fear amongst the American people that foreign aid is funneled and used to increase the personal wealth of corrupt government leaders of foreign countries . However , about 85 percent of foreign aid goes to non-governmental organizations ( NGOs ) and US - government contractors , meaning that most of foreign aid is not being given directly to foreign governments .

Rowling and the second novel in the Harry Potter series . The plot follows Harry 's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry , during which a series of messages on the walls of the school 's corridors warn that the `` Chamber of Secrets '' has been opened and that the `` heir of Slytherin '' would kill all pupils who do not come from all - magical families . These threats are found after attacks which leave residents of the school `` petrified '' ( frozen like stone ) . Throughout the year , Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione investigate the attacks . The book was published in the United Kingdom on 2 July 1998 by Bloomsbury and in the United States on 2 June 1999 by Scholastic Inc . Although Rowling found it difficult to finish the book , it won high praise and awards from critics , young readers and the book industry , although some critics thought the story was perhaps too frightening for younger children . Much like with other novels in the series , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets triggered religious debates ; some religious authorities have condemned its use of magical themes , while others have praised its emphasis on self - sacrifice and on the way in which a person 's character is the result of the person 's choices . Several commentators have noted that personal identity is a strong theme in the book , and that it addresses issues of racism through the treatment of non-magical , non-human and non-living people . Some commentators regard the diary as a warning against uncritical acceptance of information from sources whose motives and reliability can not be checked . Institutional authority is portrayed as self - serving and incompetent . The book is also known to have some connections to the sixth novel of the series , Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince . The film adaptation of the novel , released in 2002 , became ( at that time ) the seventh highest - grossing film ever and received generally favourable reviews . Video games loosely based on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets were also released for several platforms , and most obtained favourable reviews .

Harry is not invited , but is content to spend the evening quietly in his bedroom , although he is upset that his school friends have not sent cards or presents . However , when he goes to his room a house - elf named Dobby warns him not to return to Hogwarts and admits to intercepting Harry 's post from his friends . Having failed to persuade Harry to voluntarily give up his place at Hogwarts , Dobby then attempts to get him expelled by using magic to smash Petunia 's dessert on a dinner party guest and framing it on Harry , who is not allowed to use magic out of school . Uncle Vernon 's business deal falls through , but Harry is given a second chance and allowed to return at the start of the school year . In the meantime , Uncle Vernon punishes Harry , fitting locks to his bedroom door and bars to the windows . However , Ron Weasley arrives with his twin brothers Fred and George in their father Arthur 's enchanted Ford Anglia and they rescue Harry , who stays at their family home , the Burrow , for the remainder of his holidays . Harry and the other Weasleys -- mother Molly , third eldest son Percy , and daughter Ginny ( who has a crush on Harry ) -- travel to Diagon Alley . There , they are reunited with Hermione Granger and introduced to Lucius Malfoy , father of Harry 's school nemesis Draco , and Gilderoy Lockhart , a conceited autobiographer who has been appointed Defence Against the Dark Arts professor after the death of Professor Quirrel . When Harry and Ron approach Platform 9 3 / 4 in King 's Cross station it refuses to allow them to pass ; instead , they fly Arthur 's car to Hogwarts , where they crash into a sentient willow tree on the grounds . In trouble for the crash , Ron is punished by having to clean the school trophies and Harry by helping the celebrity teacher Professor Lockhart , whose classes are chaotic , with addressing his fan mail . Harry learns of some wizards ' prejudice about blood status in terms of `` pure '' blood ( only wizarding heritage ) and those with Muggle parentage . He is alone in hearing an unnerving voice seemingly coming from the walls of the school itself , and during a deathday party for Gryffindor House 's ghost Nearly Headless Nick , he , Ron , and Hermione happen upon the school caretaker Argus Filch 's petrified cat , Mrs. Norris , and a warning scrawled across one of the walls : `` The chamber of secrets has been opened . Enemies of the heir , beware . '' Rumours fly around the school regarding the Chamber of Secrets ' history . Harry and his friends discover from Cuthbert Binns , the ghostly professor of History of Magic , that it houses a terrible monster and was created by one of the school 's founders , Salazar Slytherin , after a fundamental disagreement with the other founders ( Godric Gryffindor , Helga Hufflepuff , and Rowena Ravenclaw ) . Slytherin believed that students of non-magical parentage should be refused entry to the school . When a Bludger , one of the balls involved in Quidditch , chases after Harry instead of zigzagging toward any player it can hit , breaking his arm , Dobby returns in the middle of the night to visit Harry in the hospital wing , revealing that it was he who charmed the Bludger and sealed the gateway at King 's Cross and that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened before . Another attack occurs , this time to a first - year Gryffindor named Colin Creevey who idolises Harry , and the school enters panic mode , setting up a dueling class for the students ( led by Lockhart and Potions master / Head of Slytherin House Severus Snape ) , during which it is revealed that Harry is a ' Parselmouth ' , meaning he has the rare gift to speak to snakes . This sparks the rumour mill yet again , as students around the school suspect Harry of being the Heir of Slytherin ( as Slytherin was also a parselmouth ) , and circumstantial evidence to support this theory arrives in the form of another attack , this time on Hufflepuff second - year Justin Finch Fletchley and the Gryffindor ghost . Harry , Ron , and Hermione begin to suspect that Draco is behind the attacks , given his family history of remaining well within Slytherin ranks and open hostility toward Muggle - born students , and so Hermione concocts Polyjuice potion , which allows them to become Draco 's boorish lackeys , Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle , for an hour to interrogate him . This comes to nothing , as Draco 's father only told his son the general facts of the previous opening of the Chamber and that it occurred fifty years previously . Meanwhile , Myrtle Warren , an existentially mopey ghost that haunts a bathroom , unwittingly provides a new clue in the form of a diary deposited in her stall -- a diary , moreover , that belonged to Tom Riddle , a student who knows all too well about the Chamber , having been witness to a fellow student 's death fifty years ago . The culprit , he reveals to Harry , was none other than Rubeus Hagrid , now gamekeeper for Hogwarts School ; when Hermione is attacked next , alongside a Ravenclaw prefect , the school is put on lockdown , and Dumbledore and Hagrid are forced to leave the premises . Fortunately for Harry and Ron , Hagrid left a set of instructions : to follow the spiders currently fleeing into the Forbidden Forest , which they do , only to find the monster blamed for the attacks fifty years before , a massive spider named Aragog , who explains to the duo that the real monster is one that spiders fear above all others . Hermione provides the last set of clues that inform them of the monster 's identity : It is a basilisk , ( hence Harry 's ability to understand it , ) that kills with a stare ( although no one is dead because of various devices through which they indirectly saw the monster ) and which spiders ( such as Aragog and his offspring ) fear above all others . Harry figures out from hints Aragog dropped that a student who died during the previous attacks is Myrtle , and when Ginny is apparently taken by the monster into the Chamber , they discover that the entrance is in the bathroom they have been using to make Polyjuice Potion . Harry , Ron , and Lockhart enter the Chamber , but the dunderheaded professor ( who reveals that he is a fraud ) causes a rockfall while attempting to modify the boys ' memories with Ron 's damaged wand . Harry must enter alone . He arrives to find Ginny in a weakened state being watched over by a shadowy , ghostly Riddle . Riddle explains that he is not only the heir of Slytherin , but he also grew up to become Voldemort himself . Riddle sets the basilisk upon Harry , who fights the monster with the help of Dumbledore 's phoenix Fawkes and the Sword of Gryffindor drawn from the Sorting Hat . Harry defeats the monster and destroys the diary with one of the basilisk 's fangs , erasing Riddle . Harry , Ron , Ginny , and Lockhart return to the main castle and reunite with McGonagall , Dumbledore , and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley . Ginny , whose possession by Voldemort caused all of the petrification and troubles over the course of the year , is given a reprieve by Dumbledore , who reasons that greater wizards have been duped by Voldemort before and takes great interest in the qualities of the diary , which Harry gives to him . Lucius Malfoy bursts in after this meeting , demanding to know why and how Dumbledore has returned to the school and accompanied by Dobby , revealing the family to whom he is enslaved . The house - elf also provides Harry with unspoken cues regarding the diary 's ownership : While it was Tom Riddle 's , it had been in the Malfoys ' possession , and Harry returns it , devising a scenario involving his own sock that frees Dobby from the Malfoys ' employment , hence provoking an attack on Harry , only for Dobby to jump in and save him . The petrified students are cured , the end - of - year exams are cancelled ( much to Hermione 's chagrin ) , Hagrid comes back in the middle of the final feast , and Harry returns to Privet Drive in higher spirits than he last left it . Publication and reception ( edit ) Development ( edit ) Rowling found it difficult to finish Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because she was afraid it would not live up to the expectations raised by Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerer 's Stone in the US ) . After delivering the manuscript to Bloomsbury on schedule , she took it back for six weeks of revision . In early drafts of the book , the ghost Nearly Headless Nick sang a self - composed song explaining his condition and the circumstances of his death . This was cut as the book 's editor did not care for the poem , which has been subsequently published as an extra on J.K. Rowling 's official website . The family background of Dean Thomas was removed because Rowling and her publishers considered it an `` unnecessary digression '' , and she considered Neville Longbottom 's own journey of discovery `` more important to the central plot '' . Publication ( edit ) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was published in the UK on 2 July 1998 and in the US on 2 June 1999 . It immediately took first place in UK best - seller lists , displacing popular authors such as John Grisham , Tom Clancy , and Terry Pratchett , and making Rowling the first author to win the British Book Awards Children 's Book of the Year for two years in succession . In June 1999 , it went straight to the top of three US best - seller lists , including The New York Times ' . First edition printings had several errors , which were fixed in subsequent reprints . Initially Dumbledore said that Voldemort was the last remaining ancestor of Salazar Slytherin , instead of his descendant . Gilderoy Lockhart 's book on werewolves is entitled Weekends with Werewolves at one point and Wanderings with Werewolves later in the book . Critical response ( edit ) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was met with near universal acclaim . In The Times , Deborah Loudon described it as a children 's book that would be `` re-read into adulthood '' and highlighted its `` strong plots , engaging characters , excellent jokes and a moral message which flows naturally from the story '' . Fantasy author Charles de Lint agreed , and considered the second Harry Potter book as good as Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , a rare achievement among series of books . Thomas Wagner regarded the plot as very similar to that of the first book , based on searching for a secret hidden under the school . However , he enjoyed the parody of celebrities and their fans that centres round Gilderoy Lockhart , and approved of the book 's handling of racism . Tammy Nezol found the book more disturbing than its predecessor , particularly in the rash behaviour of Harry and his friends after Harry withholds information from Dumbledore , and in the human - like behaviour of the mandragoras used to make a potion that cures petrification . Nevertheless , she considered the second story as enjoyable as the first . Mary Stuart thought the final conflict with Tom Riddle in the Chamber was almost as scary as in some of Stephen King 's works , and perhaps too strong for young or timid children . She commented that `` there are enough surprises and imaginative details thrown in as would normally fill five lesser books . '' Like other reviewers , she thought the book would give pleasure to both children and adult readers . According to Philip Nel , the early reviews gave unalloyed praise while the later ones included some criticisms , although they still agreed that the book was outstanding . Writing after all seven books had been published , Graeme Davis regarded Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as the weakest of the series , and agreed that the plot structure is much the same as in Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone . He described Fawkes 's appearance to arm Harry and then to heal him as a deus ex machina : he said that the book does not explain how Fawkes knew where to find Harry ; and Fawkes 's timing had to be very precise , as arriving earlier would probably have prevented the battle with the basilisk , while arriving later would have been fatal to Harry and Ginny . Awards and honours ( edit ) Rowling 's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was the recipient of several awards . The American Library Association listed the novel among its 2000 Notable Children 's Books , as well as its Best Books for Young Adults . In 1999 , Booklist named Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as one of its Editors ' Choices , and as one of its Top Ten Fantasy Novels for Youth . The Cooperative Children 's Book Center made the novel a CCBC Choice of 2000 in the `` Fiction for Children '' category . The novel also won Children 's Book of the Year British Book Award , and was shortlisted for the 1998 Guardian Children 's Award and the 1998 Carnegie Award . Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize 1998 Gold Medal in the 9 -- 11 years division . Rowling also won two other Nestlé Smarties Book Prizes for Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . The Scottish Arts Council awarded their first ever Children 's Book Award to the novel in 1999 , and it was also awarded Whitaker 's Platinum Book Award in 2001 . In 2003 , the novel was listed at number 23 on the BBC 's survey The Big Read . Themes ( edit ) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets continues the examination of what makes a person who he or she is , which began in the first book . As well as maintaining that Harry 's identity is shaped by his decisions rather than any aspect of his birth , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets provides contrasting characters who try to conceal their true personalities : as Tammy Nezol puts it , Gilderoy Lockhart `` lacks any real identity '' because he is nothing more than a charming liar . Riddle also complicates Harry 's struggle to understand himself by pointing out the similarities between the two : `` both half - bloods , orphans raised by Muggles , probably the only two Parselmouths to come to Hogwarts since the great Slytherin . '' Opposition to class , death and its impacts , experiencing adolescence , sacrifice , love , friendship , loyalty , prejudice , and racism are constant themes of the series . In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Harry 's consideration and respect for others extends to the lowly , non-human Dobby and the ghost Nearly Headless Nick . According to Marguerite Krause , achievements in the novel depend more on ingenuity and hard work than on natural talents . Edward Duffy , associate professor at Marquette University , says that one of the central characters of Chamber of Secrets is Tom Riddle 's enchanted diary , which takes control of Ginny Weasley -- just as Riddle planned . Duffy suggests Rowling intended this as a warning against passively consuming information from sources that have their own agendas . Although Bronwyn Williams and Amy Zenger regard the diary as more like an instant messaging or chat room system , they agree about the dangers of relying too much on the written word , which can camouflage the author , and they highlight a comical example , Lockhart 's self - promoting books . Immorality and the portrayal of authority as negative are significant themes in the novel . Marguerite Krause states there are few absolute moral rules in Harry Potter 's world , for example Harry prefers to tell the truth , but lies whenever he considers it necessary -- very like his enemy Draco Malfoy . At the end of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , Dumbledore retracts his promise to punish Harry , Ron , and Hermione if they break any more school rules -- after Professor McGonagall estimates they have broken over 100 -- and lavishly rewards them for ending the threat from the Chamber of Secrets . Krause further states that authority figures and political institutions receive little respect from Rowling . William MacNeil of Griffith University , Queensland , Australia states that the Minister for Magic is presented as a mediocrity . In his article `` Harry Potter and the Secular City '' , Ken Jacobson suggests the Ministry as a whole is portrayed as a tangle of bureaucratic empires , saying that `` Ministry officials busy themselves with minutiae ( e.g. standardising cauldron thicknesses ) and coin politically correct euphemisms like ' non-magical community ' ( for Muggles ) and ' memory modification ' ( for magical brainwashing ) . '' This novel implies it begins in 1992 : the cake for Nearly - Headless Nick 's 500th deathday party bears the words `` Sir Nicholas De Mimsy Porpington died 31 October 1492 '' . Connection to Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince ( edit ) Chamber of Secrets has many links with the sixth book of the series , Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince . In fact , Half - Blood Prince was the working title of Chamber of Secrets and Rowling says she originally intended to present some `` crucial pieces of information '' in the second book , but ultimately felt `` this information 's proper home was book six '' . Some objects that play significant roles in Half - Blood Prince first appear in Chamber of Secrets : the Hand of Glory and the opal necklace that are on sale in Borgin and Burkes ; a Vanishing Cabinet in Hogwarts that is damaged by Peeves the Poltergeist ; and Tom Riddle 's diary , which is later shown to be a Horcrux . Additionally , these two novels are the ones with the most focus on Harry 's relationship with Ginny Weasley . Adaptations ( edit ) Film ( edit ) Main article : Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ( film ) The film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was released in 2002 . Chris Columbus directed the film , and the screenplay was written by Steve Kloves . It became the third film to exceed $600 million in international box office sales , preceded by Titanic , released in 1997 , and Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , released in 2001 . The film was nominated for a Saturn Award for the Best Fantasy Film , According to Metacritic , the film version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets received `` generally favourable reviews '' with an average score of 63 % , and another aggregator , Rotten Tomatoes , gave it a score of 82 % .

The composition and powers of the House are established by Article One of the United States Constitution . The House is composed of representatives who sit in congressional districts which are allocated to each of the 50 states on a basis of population as measured by the U.S. Census , with each district entitled one representative . Since its inception in 1789 , all representatives are elected popularly . The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435 . As of the 2010 Census , the largest delegation is that of California , with fifty - three representatives ; seven states have the smallest delegation possible , a single representative : Alaska , Delaware , Montana , North Dakota , South Dakota , Vermont , and Wyoming . The House is charged with the passage of federal legislation , known as bills , which , after concurrence by the Senate , are sent to the President for consideration . In addition to this basic power , the House has certain exclusive powers which include the power to initiate all bills related to revenue , the impeachment of federal officers , who are sent to trial in the Senate , and in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for President , the duty falls upon the House to elect one of the top three recipients of electors for that office , with one vote given to each state for that purpose . The presiding officer is the Speaker of the House , who is elected by the members thereof and is therefore traditionally the leader of the controlling party . He or she and other floor leaders are chosen by the Democratic Caucus or the Republican Conference , depending on whichever party has more voting members . The House meets in the south wing of the United States Capitol .

Under the Articles of Confederation , the Congress of the Confederation was a unicameral body in which each state was equally represented , and in which each state had a veto over most action . After eight years of a more limited confederal government under the Articles , numerous political leaders , such as James Madison and Alexander Hamilton , initiated the Constitutional Convention in 1787 , which received the Confederation Congress 's sanction to `` amend the Articles of Confederation '' . All states except Rhode Island agreed to send delegates . The issue of how to structure Congress was one of the most divisive among the founders during the Convention . Edmund Randolph 's Virginia Plan called for a bicameral Congress : the lower house would be `` of the people '' , elected directly by the people of the United States and representing public opinion , and a more deliberative upper house that would represent the individual states , and would be less susceptible to variations of mass sentiment , would be elected by the lower house . The House is referred to as the lower house , with the Senate being the upper house , although the United States Constitution does not use that terminology . Both houses ' approval is necessary for the passage of legislation . The Virginia Plan drew the support of delegates from large states such as Virginia , Massachusetts , and Pennsylvania , as it called for representation based on population . The smaller states , however , favored the New Jersey Plan , which called for a unicameral Congress with equal representation for the states . Eventually , the Convention reached the Connecticut Compromise , or the Great Compromise , under which one house of Congress ( the House of Representatives ) would provide representation proportional to each state 's population , whereas the other ( the Senate ) would provide equal representation amongst the states . The Constitution was ratified by the requisite number of states ( nine out of the 13 ) in 1788 , but its implementation was set for March 4 , 1789 . The House began work on April 1 , 1789 , when it achieved a quorum for the first time . During the first half of the 19th century , the House was frequently in conflict with the Senate over regionally divisive issues , including slavery . The North was much more populous than the South , and therefore dominated the House of Representatives . However , the North held no such advantage in the Senate , where the equal representation of states prevailed . Historical graph of party control of the Senate and House as well as the Presidency Regional conflict was most pronounced over the issue of slavery . One example of a provision repeatedly supported by the House but blocked by the Senate was the Wilmot Proviso , which sought to ban slavery in the land gained during the Mexican -- American War . Conflict over slavery and other issues persisted until the Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) , which began soon after several southern states attempted to secede from the Union . The war culminated in the South 's defeat and in the abolition of slavery . Because all southern senators except Andrew Johnson resigned their seats at the beginning of the war , the Senate did not have the balance of power between North and South during the war . The years of Reconstruction that followed witnessed large majorities for the Republican Party , which many Americans associated with the Union 's victory in the Civil War and the ending of slavery . The Reconstruction period ended in about 1877 ; the ensuing era , known as the Gilded Age , was marked by sharp political divisions in the electorate . The Democratic and the Republican Party held majorities in the House at various times . The late 19th and early 20th centuries also saw a dramatic increase in the power of the Speaker of the House . The rise of the Speaker 's influence began in the 1890s , during tenure of Republican Thomas Brackett Reed . `` Czar Reed '' , as he was nicknamed , attempted to put into effect his view that `` The best system is to have one party govern and the other party watch . '' The leadership structure of the House also developed during approximately the same period , with the positions of Majority Leader and Minority Leader being created in 1899 . While the Minority Leader was the head of the minority party , the Majority Leader remained subordinate to the Speaker . The Speakership reached its zenith during the term of Republican Joseph Gurney Cannon , 1903 to 1911 . The powers of the Speaker included chairmanship of the influential Rules Committee and the ability to appoint members of other House committees . These powers , however , were curtailed in the `` Revolution of 1910 '' because of the efforts of Democrats and dissatisfied Republicans who opposed Cannon 's arguably heavy - handed tactics . Republican Speaker of the House , Thomas Brackett Reed . The Democratic Party dominated the House of Representatives during the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt ( 1933 -- 1945 ) , often winning over two - thirds of the seats . Both Democrats and Republicans were in power at various times during the next decade . The Democratic Party maintained control of the House from 1955 until 1995 . In the mid-1970s , there were major reforms of the House , strengthening the power of sub-committees at the expense of committee chairs and allowing party leaders to nominate committee chairs . These actions were taken to undermine the seniority system , and to reduce the ability of a small number of senior members to obstruct legislation they did not favor . There was also a shift from the 1990s to greater control of the legislative program by the majority party ; the power of party leaders ( especially the Speaker ) grew considerably . The Republicans took control of the House in 1995 , under the leadership of Speaker Newt Gingrich . Gingrich attempted to pass a major legislative program , the Contract with America , on which the House Republicans had been elected , and made major reforms of the House , notably reducing the tenure of committee chairs to three two - year terms . Many elements of the Contract did not pass Congress , were vetoed by President Bill Clinton , or were substantially altered in negotiations with Clinton . The Republicans held on to the House until 2006 , when the Democrats won control and Nancy Pelosi was subsequently elected by the House as the first female Speaker . The Republicans retook the House in 2011 , with the largest shift of power since the 1930s . Membership , qualifications and apportionment ( edit ) This article is part of a series on the United States House of Representatives History of the United States House of Representatives Members Current members ( by seniority by age non-voting ) Former members Hill committees ( DCCC NRCC ) Congressional districts Speaker of the United States House of Representatives ( list ) Party leaders Democratic Caucus Republican Conference Politics and procedure Committee of the Whole Closed session ( list ) Saxbe fix Committees ( list ) Procedures Origination Clause Quorum call Unanimous consent Salaries Apportionment ( Huntington -- Hill method ) Redistricting Gerrymandering Articles of impeachment Self - executing rule Rules suspension General ticket Plural district Places United States Capitol House office buildings ( Cannon Ford Longworth Rayburn ) All 435 voting seats of the current House shown grouped by state , largest to smallest Population per U.S. Representative allocated to each of the 50 states and DC , ranked by population . Since DC ( ranked 50 ) receives no voting seats in the House , its bar is absent . Apportionment ( edit ) Main article : United States congressional apportionment Under Article I , Section 2 of the Constitution , seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states by population , as determined by the census conducted every ten years . Each state , however , is entitled to at least one Representative . The only constitutional rule relating to the size of the House states : `` The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand , but each State shall have at Least one Representative . '' Congress regularly increased the size of the House to account for population growth until it fixed the number of voting House members at 435 in 1911 . The number was temporarily increased to 437 in 1959 upon the admission of Alaska and Hawaii ( seating one representative from each of those states without changing existing apportionment ) , and returned to 435 four years later , after the reapportionment consequent to the 1960 census . The Constitution does not provide for the representation of the District of Columbia or of territories . The District of Columbia and the territories of Puerto Rico , American Samoa , Guam , the Northern Mariana Islands , and the U.S. Virgin Islands are each represented by one non-voting delegate . Puerto Rico elects a Resident Commissioner , but other than having a four - year term , the Resident Commissioner 's role is identical to the delegates from the other territories . The five Delegates and Resident Commissioner may participate in debates ; prior to 2011 , they were also allowed to vote in committees and the Committee of the Whole when their votes would not be decisive . Redistricting ( edit ) Main article : Redistricting States that are entitled to more than one Representative are divided into single - member districts . This has been a federal statutory requirement since 1967 . Prior to that law , general ticket representation was used by some states . States typically redraw district boundaries after each census , though they may do so at other times , such as the 2003 Texas redistricting . Each state determines its own district boundaries , either through legislation or through non-partisan panels . `` Malapportionment '' is unconstitutional and districts must be approximately equal in population ( see Wesberry v. Sanders ) . Additionally , Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 prohibits redistricting plans that are intended to , or have the effect of , discriminating against racial or language minority voters . Aside from malapportionment and discrimination against racial or language minorities , federal courts have allowed state legislatures to engage in gerrymandering for the benefit of political parties or incumbents . In a 1984 case , Davis v. Bandemer , the Supreme Court held that gerrymandered districts could be struck down on the basis of the Equal Protection Clause , but the Court did not articulate a standard for when districts are impermissibly gerrymandered . However , the court overruled Davis in 2004 in Vieth v. Jubelirer , and Court precedent currently holds gerrymandering to be a political question . According to calculations made by Burt Neuborne using criteria set forth by the American Political Science Association , about 40 seats , less than 10 % of the House membership , are chosen through a genuinely contested electoral process , given bipartisan gerrymandering . Qualifications ( edit ) Article I , Section 2 of the Constitution sets three qualifications for representatives . Each representative must : ( 1 ) be at least twenty - five years old ; ( 2 ) have been a citizen of the United States for the past seven years ; and ( 3 ) be ( at the time of the election ) an inhabitant of the state they represent . Members are not required to live in the district they represent , but they traditionally do . The age and citizenship qualifications for representatives are less than those for senators . The constitutional requirements of Article I , Section 2 for election to Congress are the maximum requirements that can be imposed on a candidate . Therefore , Article I , Section 5 , which permits each House to be the judge of the qualifications of its own members does not permit either House to establish additional qualifications . Likewise a State could not establish additional qualifications . Disqualification : under the Fourteenth Amendment , a federal or state officer who takes the requisite oath to support the Constitution , but later engages in rebellion or aids the enemies of the United States , is disqualified from becoming a representative . This post -- Civil War provision was intended to prevent those who sided with the Confederacy from serving . However , disqualified individuals may serve if they gain the consent of two - thirds of both houses of Congress . Elections ( edit ) Elections for representatives are held in every even - numbered year , on Election Day the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November . By law , Representatives must be elected from single - member districts . After a census is taken ( in a year ending in 0 ) , the year ending in 2 is the first year in which elections for U.S. House districts are based on that census ( with the Congress based on those districts starting its term on the following Jan. 3 ) . In most states , major party candidates for each district are nominated in partisan primary elections , typically held in spring to late summer . In some states , the Republican and Democratic parties choose their respective candidates for each district in their political conventions in spring or early summer , which often use unanimous voice votes to reflect either confidence in the incumbent or the result of bargaining in earlier private discussions . Exceptions can result in so - called floor fight -- convention votes by delegates , with outcomes that can be hard to predict . Especially if a convention is closely divided , a losing candidate may contend further by meeting the conditions for a primary election . The courts generally do not consider ballot access rules for independent and third party candidates to be additional qualifications for holding office and there are no federal regulations regarding ballot access . As a result , the process to gain ballot access varies greatly from state to state , and in the case of a third party may be affected by results of previous years ' elections . In 1967 , the United States Congress passed the Uniform Congressional District Act , which requires almost all representatives be elected from single - member - districts , Following the Wesberry v. Sanders decision , Congress was motivated by fears that courts would impose at - large plurality districts on states that did not redistrict to comply with the new mandates for districts roughly equal in population , and Congress also sought to prevent attempts by southern states to use such voting systems to dilute the vote of racial minorities . Several states have used multi-member districts in the past , although only two states ( Hawaii and Maine ) used multi-member districts in 1967 . Hawaii and Maine were made exempt from the Uniform Congressional District Act , and are free to use multi-member districts , although neither state chooses to do so . Louisiana is unique in that it holds an all - party `` primary election '' on the general Election Day with a subsequent runoff election between the top two finishers ( regardless of party ) if no candidate received a majority in the primary . The states of Washington and California now use a similar ( though not identical ) system to that used by Louisiana . Seats vacated during a term are filled through special elections , unless the vacancy occurs closer to the next general election date than a pre-established deadline . The term of a member chosen in a special election usually begins the next day , or as soon as the results are certified . Non-voting delegates ( edit ) Additionally , Washington D.C. and the five inhabited U.S. territories each elect a non-voting delegate . With the exception of the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico , each representative and delegate serves for a two - year term . They have a voice on the floor , but can not vote there . Terms ( edit ) Representatives and Delegates serve for two - year terms , while the Resident Commissioner serves for four years . The Constitution permits the House to expel a member with a two - thirds vote . In the history of the United States , only five members have been expelled from the House ; in 1861 , three were removed for supporting the Confederate states ' secession : John Bullock Clark ( D - MO ) , John William Reid ( D - MO ) and Henry Cornelius Burnett ( D - KY ) . Michael Myers ( D - PA ) was expelled after his criminal conviction for accepting bribes in 1980 , and James Traficant ( D - OH ) was expelled in 2002 following his conviction for corruption . The House also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members ; censure or reprimand of a member requires only a simple majority , and does not remove that member from office . Comparison to the Senate ( edit ) As a check on the regional , popular , and rapidly changing politics of the House , the Senate has several distinct powers . For example , the `` advice and consent '' powers ( such as the power to approve treaties ) are a sole Senate privilege . The House , however , has the exclusive power to initiate bills for raising revenue , to impeach officials , and to choose the President in the event that a presidential candidate fails to get a majority of the Electoral College votes . The Senate and House are further differentiated by term lengths and the number of districts represented : the Senate has longer terms of six years , fewer members ( currently one hundred , two for each state ) , and ( in all but seven delegations ) larger constituencies per member . The Senate is informally referred to as the `` upper '' house , and the House of Representatives as the `` lower '' house . Salary and benefits ( edit ) Salaries ( edit ) As of December 2014 , the annual salary of each Representative is $ 174,000 . The Speaker of the House and the Majority and Minority Leaders earn more : $223,500 for the Speaker and $193,400 for their party leaders ( the same as Senate leaders ) . A cost - of - living - adjustment ( COLA ) increase takes effect annually unless Congress votes to not accept it . Congress sets members ' salaries ; however , the Twenty - seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits a change in salary ( but not COLA ) from taking effect until after the next election of the whole House . Representatives are eligible for retirement benefits after serving for five years . Outside pay is limited to 15 % of congressional pay , and certain types of income involving a fiduciary responsibility or personal endorsement are prohibited . Titles ( edit ) Representatives use the prefix `` The Honorable '' before their names . A member of the House is referred to as a representative , congressman , or congresswoman . While senators are members of Congress , the terms congressman and congresswoman are not generally used by them . Pension ( edit ) All members of Congress are automatically ( without the option of withdrawal ) enrolled in the Federal Employees Retirement System , a pension system also used for federal civil servants . They become eligible to receive benefits after five years of service ( two and one - half terms in the House ) . The FERS is composed of three elements : Social Security The FERS basic annuity , a monthly pension plan based on the number of years of service and the average of the three highest years of basic pay The Thrift Savings Plan , a 401 ( k ) - like defined contribution plan for retirement account into which participants can deposit up to a maximum of $17,000 in 2012 . Their employing agency matches employee contributions up to 5 % of pay . Members of Congress may retire with full benefits at age 62 after five years of service , at age 50 after twenty years of service , and at any age after twenty - five years of service . They may retire with reduced benefits at ages 55 to 59 after five years of service . Depending on birth year , they may receive a reduced pension after ten years of service if they are between 55 years and 57 years of age . Tax deductions ( edit ) Members of Congress are permitted to deduct up to $3,000 of living expenses per year incurred while living away from their district or home state . Health benefits ( edit ) Prior to 2014 , members of Congress and their staff had access to essentially the same health benefits as federal civil servants ; they could voluntarily enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program ( FEHBP ) , an employer - sponsored health insurance program , and were eligible to participate in other programs , such as the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program ( FSAFEDS ) . However , Section 1312 ( d ) ( 3 ) ( D ) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) provided that the only health plans that the federal government can make available to members of Congress and certain congressional staff are those created under the ACA or offered through a health care exchange . The Office of Personnel Management promulgated a final rule to comply with Section 1312 ( d ) ( 3 ) ( D ) . Under the rule , effective January 1 , 2014 , members and designated staff are no longer able to purchase FEHBP plans as active employees . However , if members enroll in a health plan offered through a Small Business Health Options Program ( SHOP ) exchange , they remain eligible for an employer contribution toward coverage , and members and designated staff who are eligible for retirement may enroll in a FEHBP plan upon retirement . The ACA and the final rule do not affect members ' or staffers ' eligibility for Medicare benefits . The ACA and the final rule also do not affect members ' and staffers ' eligibility for other health benefits related to federal employment , so current members and staff are eligible to participate in FSAFEDS ( which has three options within the program ) , the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program , and the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program . There is an Office of the Attending Physician at the U.S. Capitol , which current members may seek health care from for an annual fee . The attending physician provides routine exams , consultations , and certain diagnostics , and may write prescriptions ( although it does not dispense them ) . The office does not provide vision or dental care . Current members ( but not their dependents , and not former members ) may also receive medical and emergency dental care at military treatment facilities . There is no charge for outpatient care if it is provided in the National Capital Region , but members are billed at full reimbursement rates ( set by the Department of Defense ) for inpatient care . ( Outside the National Capital Region , charges are at full reimbursement rates for both inpatient and outpatient care ) . Personnel , mail and Office expenses ( edit ) House members are eligible for a Member 's Representational Allowance ( MRA ) to support them in their official and representational duties to their district . The MRA is calculated based on three components : one for personnel , one for official office expenses and one for official or franked mail . The personnel allowance is the same for all members ; the office and mail allowances vary based on the members ' district 's distance from Washington , D.C. , the cost of office space in the member 's district , and the number of non-business addresses in their district . These three components are used to calculate a single MRA that can fund any expense -- even though each component is calculated individually , the franking allowance can be used to pay for personnel expenses if the member so chooses . In 2011 this allowance averaged $1.4 million per member , and ranged from $1.35 to $1.67 million . The Personnel allowance was $944,671 per member in 2010 . Each member may employ no more than 18 permanent employees . Members ' employees ' salary is capped at $168,411 as of 2009 . Travel allowance ( edit ) Each member - elect and one staffer can be paid for one round trip between their home in their congressional district and Washington , D.C. for organization caucuses . Officers ( edit ) Member officials ( edit ) The party with a majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party . The next - largest party is the minority party . The Speaker , committee chairs , and some other officials are generally from the majority party ; they have counterparts ( for instance , the `` ranking members '' of committees ) in the minority party . Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , Former Majority Leader Steny Hoyer , and Former Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller confer with President Barack Obama at the Oval Office in 2009 . The Constitution provides that the House may choose its own Speaker . Although not explicitly required by the Constitution , every Speaker has been a member of the House . The Constitution does not specify the duties and powers of the Speaker , which are instead regulated by the rules and customs of the House . Speakers have a role both as a leader of the House and the leader of their party ( which need not be the majority party ; theoretically , a member of the minority party could be elected as Speaker with the support of a fraction of members of the majority party ) . Under the Presidential Succession Act ( 1947 ) , the Speaker is second in the line of presidential succession behind the Vice President . The Speaker is the presiding officer of the House but does not preside over every debate . Instead , s / he delegates the responsibility of presiding to other members in most cases . The presiding officer sits in a chair in the front of the House chamber . The powers of the presiding officer are extensive ; one important power is that of controlling the order in which members of the House speak . No member may make a speech or a motion unless s / he has first been recognized by the presiding officer . Moreover , the presiding officer may rule on a `` point of order '' ( a member 's objection that a rule has been breached ) ; the decision is subject to appeal to the whole House . Speakers serve as chairs of their party 's steering committee , which is responsible for assigning party members to other House committees . The Speaker chooses the chairmen of standing committees , appoints most of the members of the Rules Committee , appoints all members of conference committees , and determines which committees consider bills . Each party elects a floor leader , who is known as the Majority Leader or Minority Leader . The Minority Leader heads their party in the House , and the Majority Leader is their party 's second - highest - ranking official , behind the Speaker . Party leaders decide what legislation members of their party should either support or oppose . Each party also elects a W hip , who works to ensure that the party 's members vote as the party leadership desires . The current majority whip in the House of Representatives is Steve Scalise , who is a member of the Republican Party . The current minority whip is Steny Hoyer , who is a member of the Democratic Party . The whip is supported by chief deputy whips . In the 112th Congress , the Democratic Party has an additional Assistant Minority Leader , Jim Clyburn , who ranks between the whips and the caucus / conference chair . After the whips , the next ranking official in the House party 's leadership is the Party Conference Chair ( styled as the Republican Conference Chair and Democratic Caucus Chair ) . After the Conference Chair , there are differences between each party 's subsequent leadership ranks . After the Democratic Caucus Chair is the Campaign Committee Chair ( Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ) , then the co-chairs of the Steering Committee . For the Republicans it is the Chair of the House Republican Policy Committee , followed by the Campaign Committee Chairman ( styled as the National Republican Congressional Committee ) . The chairs of House committees , particularly influential standing committees such as Appropriations , Ways and Means , and Rules , are powerful but not officially part of House leadership hierarchy . Until the post of Majority Leader was created , the Chair of Ways and Means was the de facto majority leader . Leadership and partisanship ( edit ) When the Presidency and Senate are controlled by a different party from the one controlling the House , the Speaker can become the de facto `` leader of the opposition '' . Some notable examples include Tip O'Neill in the 1980s , Newt Gingrich in the 1990s , and John Boehner and Paul Ryan in the 2010s . Since the Speaker is a partisan officer with substantial power to control the business of the House , the position is often used for partisan advantage . In the instance when the Presidency and both Houses of Congress are controlled by one party , the Speaker normally takes a low profile and defers to the President . For that situation the House Minority Leader can play the role of a de facto `` leader of the opposition '' , often more so than the Senate Minority Leader , due to the more partisan nature of the House and the greater role of leadership . Non-member officials ( edit ) The House is also served by several officials who are not members . The House 's chief officer is the Clerk , who maintains public records , prepares documents , and oversees junior officials , including pages , until the junior position 's discontinuation in 2011 . The Clerk also presides over the House at the beginning of each new Congress pending the election of a Speaker . Another officer is the Chief Administrative Officer , responsible for the day - to - day administrative support to the House of Representatives . This includes everything from payroll to foodservice . The position of Chief Administrative Officer ( CAO ) was created by the 104th Congress following the 1994 mid-term elections , replacing the positions of Doorkeeper and Director of Non-Legislative and Financial Services ( created by the previous congress to administer the non-partisan functions of the House ) . The CAO also assumed some of the responsibilities of the House Information Services , which previously had been controlled directly by the Committee on House Administration , then headed by Representative Charlie Rose of North Carolina , along with the House `` Folding Room '' . The Chaplain leads the House in prayer at the opening of the day . There is also a Sergeant at Arms , who as the House 's chief law enforcement officer maintains order and security on House premises . Finally , routine police work is handled by the United States Capitol Police , which is supervised by the Capitol Police Board , a body to which the Sergeant at Arms belongs . Procedure ( edit ) Main article : Procedures of the United States House of Representatives Daily procedures ( edit ) Like the Senate , the House of Representatives meets in the United States Capitol in Washington , D.C. At one end of the chamber of the House is a rostrum from which the Speaker , Speaker Pro Tempore , or ( when in the Committee of the Whole ) the Chair presides . The lower tier of the rostrum is used by clerks and other officials . Members ' seats are arranged in the chamber in a semicircular pattern facing the rostrum and are divided by a wide central aisle . By tradition , Democrats sit on the left of the center aisle , while Republicans sit on the right , facing the presiding officer 's chair . Sittings are normally held on weekdays ; meetings on Saturdays and Sundays are rare . Sittings of the House are generally open to the public ; visitors must obtain a House Gallery pass from a congressional office . Sittings are broadcast live on television and have been streamed live on C - SPAN since March 19 , 1979 , and on HouseLive , the official streaming service operated by the Clerk , since the early 2010s . The procedure of the House depends not only on the rules , but also on a variety of customs , precedents , and traditions . In many cases , the House waives some of its stricter rules ( including time limits on debates ) by unanimous consent . A member may block a unanimous consent agreement ; in practice , objections are rare . The presiding officer , the Speaker of the House enforces the rules of the House , and may warn members who deviate from them . The Speaker uses a gavel to maintain order . The box in which legislation is placed to be considered by the House is called the hopper . In one of its first resolutions , the U.S. House of Representatives established the Office of the Sergeant at Arms . In an American tradition adopted from English custom in 1789 by the first Speaker of the House , Frederick Muhlenberg of Pennsylvania , the Mace of the United States House of Representatives is used to open all sessions of the House . It is also used during the inaugural ceremonies for all Presidents of the United States . For daily sessions of the House , the sergeant at Arms carries the mace in front of the Speaker in procession to the rostrum . It is placed on a green marble pedestal to the Speaker 's right . When the House is in committee , the mace is moved to a pedestal next to the desk of the Sergeant at Arms . The Constitution provides that a majority of the House constitutes a quorum to do business . Under the rules and customs of the House , a quorum is always assumed present unless a quorum call explicitly demonstrates otherwise . House rules prevent a member from making a point of order that a quorum is not present unless a question is being voted on . The presiding officer does not accept a point of order of no quorum during general debate , or when a question is not before the House . During debates , a member may speak only if called upon by the presiding officer . The presiding officer decides which members to recognize , and can therefore control the course of debate . All speeches must be addressed to the presiding officer , using the words `` Mr. Speaker '' or `` Madam Speaker '' . Only the presiding officer may be directly addressed in speeches ; other members must be referred to in the third person . In most cases , members do not refer to each other only by name , but also by state , using forms such as `` the gentleman from Virginia '' , `` the distinguished gentlewoman from California '' , or `` my distinguished friend from Alabama '' . There are 448 permanent seats on the House Floor and four tables , two on each side . These tables are occupied by members of the committee that have brought a bill to the floor for consideration and by the respective party leadership . Members address the House from microphones at any table or `` the well , '' the area immediately in front of the rostrum . Passage of legislation ( edit ) Per the constitution , the House determines the rules according to which it passes legislation . The rules are in principle open to change with each new Congress , but in practice each new session amends a standing set of rules built up over the history of the body in an early resolution published for public inspection . Before legislation reaches the floor of the House , the Rules Committee normally passes a rule to govern debate on that measure ( which then must be passed by the full House before it becomes effective ) . For instance , the committee determines if amendments to the bill are permitted . An `` open rule '' permits all germane amendments , but a `` closed rule '' restricts or even prohibits amendment . Debate on a bill is generally restricted to one hour , equally divided between the majority and minority parties . Each side is led during the debate by a `` floor manager '' , who allocates debate time to members who wish to speak . On contentious matters , many members may wish to speak ; thus , a member may receive as little as one minute , or even thirty seconds , to make his / her point . When debate concludes , the motion in question is put to a vote . In many cases , the House votes by voice vote ; the presiding officer puts the question , and members respond either `` yea '' or `` aye '' ( in favor of the motion ) or `` nay '' or `` no '' ( against the motion ) . The presiding officer then announces the result of the voice vote . A member may however challenge the presiding officer 's assessment and `` request the yeas and nays '' or `` request a recorded vote '' . The request may be granted only if it is seconded by one - fifth of the members present . In practice , however , members of congress second requests for recorded votes as a matter of courtesy . Some votes are always recorded , such as those on the annual budget . A recorded vote may be taken in one of three different ways . One is electronically . Members use a personal identification card to record their votes at 46 voting stations in the chamber . Votes are usually held in this way . A second mode of recorded vote is by teller . Members hand in colored cards to indicate their votes : green for `` yea '' , red for `` nay '' , and orange for `` present '' ( i.e. , to abstain ) . Teller votes are normally held only when electronic voting breaks down . Finally , the House may conduct a roll call vote . The Clerk reads the list of members of the House , each of whom announces their vote when their name is called . This procedure is only used rarely ( such as for the election of a Speaker ) because of the time consumed by calling over four hundred names . Voting traditionally lasts for , at most , fifteen minutes , but it may be extended if the leadership needs to `` whip '' more members into alignment . The 2003 vote on the prescription drug benefit was open for three hours , from 3 : 00 to 6 : 00 a.m. , to receive four additional votes , three of which were necessary to pass the legislation . The 2005 vote on the Central American Free Trade Agreement was open for one hour , from 11 : 00 p.m. to midnight . An October 2005 vote on facilitating refinery construction was kept open for forty minutes . Presiding officers may vote like other members . They may not , however , vote twice in the event of a tie ; rather , a tie vote defeats the motion . Committees ( edit ) Further information : United States congressional committee and List of current United States House of Representatives committees The House uses committees and their subcommittees for a variety of purposes , including the review of bills and the oversight of the executive branch . The appointment of committee members is formally made by the whole House , but the choice of members is actually made by the political parties . Generally , each party honors the preferences of individual members , giving priority on the basis of seniority . Historically , membership on committees has been in rough proportion to the party 's strength in the House as a whole , with two exceptions : on the Rules Committee , the majority party fills nine of the thirteen seats ; and on the Ethics Committee , each party has an equal number of seats . However , when party control in the House is closely divided , extra seats on committees are sometimes allocated to the majority party . In the 109th Congress , for example , the Republicans controlled about 53 % of the House as a whole , but had 54 % of the Appropriations Committee members , 55 % of the members on the Energy and Commerce Committee , 58 % of the members on the Judiciary Committee , and 69 % of the members on the Rules Committee . The largest committee of the House is the Committee of the Whole , which , as its name suggests , consists of all members of the House . The Committee meets in the House chamber ; it may consider and amend bills , but may not grant them final passage . Generally , the debate procedures of the Committee of the Whole are more flexible than those of the House itself . One advantage of the Committee of the Whole is its ability to include otherwise non-voting members of Congress . Most committee work is performed by twenty standing committees , each of which has jurisdiction over a specific set of issues , such as Agriculture or Foreign Affairs . Each standing committee considers , amends , and reports bills that fall under its jurisdiction . Committees have extensive powers with regard to bills ; they may block legislation from reaching the floor of the House . Standing committees also oversee the departments and agencies of the executive branch . In discharging their duties , standing committees have the power to hold hearings and to subpoena witnesses and evidence . The House also has one permanent committee that is not a standing committee , the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence , and from time to time may establish committees that are temporary and advisory in nature , such as the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming . This latter committee , created in the 110th Congress and reauthorized for the 111th , has no jurisdiction over legislation and must be chartered anew at the start of every Congress . The House also appoints members to serve on joint committees , which include members of the Senate and House . Some joint committees oversee independent government bodies ; for instance , the Joint Committee on the Library oversees the Library of Congress . Other joint committees serve to make advisory reports ; for example , there exists a Joint Committee on Taxation . Bills and nominees are not referred to joint committees . Hence , the power of joint committees is considerably lower than those of standing committees . Each House committee and subcommittee is led by a chairman ( always a member of the majority party ) . From 1910 to the 1970s , committee chairs were powerful . Woodrow Wilson in his classic study , suggested : Power is nowhere concentrated ; it is rather deliberately and of set policy scattered amongst many small chiefs . It is divided up , as it were , into forty - seven seigniories , in each of which a Standing Committee is the court - baron and its chairman lord - proprietor . These petty barons , some of them not a little powerful , but none of them within the reach of the full powers of rule , may at will exercise almost despotic sway within their own shires , and may sometimes threaten to convulse even the realm itself . From 1910 to 1975 committee and subcommittee chairmanship was determined purely by seniority ; congressmembers sometimes had to wait 30 years to get one , but their chairship was independent of party leadership . The rules were changed in 1975 to permit party caucuses to elect chairs , shifting power upward to the party leaders . In 1995 , Republicans under Newt Gingrich set a limit of three two - year terms for committee chairs . The chair 's powers are extensive ; they control the committee / subcommittee agenda , and may prevent the committee from dealing with a bill . The senior member of the minority party is known as the Ranking Member . In some committees like Appropriations , partisan disputes are few . Legislative functions ( edit ) Most bills may be introduced in either House of Congress . However , the Constitution states , `` All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives '' . As a result of the Origination Clause , the Senate can not initiate bills imposing taxes . This provision barring the Senate from introducing revenue bills is based on the practice of the British Parliament , in which only the House of Commons may originate such measures . Furthermore , congressional tradition holds that the House of Representatives originates appropriation bills . Although it can not originate revenue bills , the Senate retains the power to amend or reject them . Woodrow Wilson wrote the following about appropriations bills : ( T ) he constitutional prerogative of the House has been held to apply to all the general appropriations bills , and the Senate 's right to amend these has been allowed the widest possible scope . The upper house may add to them what it pleases ; may go altogether outside of their original provisions and tack to them entirely new features of legislation , altering not only the amounts but even the objects of expenditure , and making out of the materials sent them by the popular chamber measures of an almost totally new character . The approval of the Senate and the House of Representatives is required for a bill to become law . Both Houses must pass the same version of the bill ; if there are differences , they may be resolved by a conference committee , which includes members of both bodies . For the stages through which bills pass in the Senate , see Act of Congress . The President may veto a bill passed by the House and Senate . If he does , the bill does not become law unless each House , by a two - thirds vote , votes to override the veto . Checks and balances ( edit ) The Constitution provides that the Senate 's `` advice and consent '' is necessary for the President to make appointments and to ratify treaties . Thus , with its potential to frustrate Presidential appointments , the Senate is more powerful than the House . The Constitution empowers the House of Representatives to impeach federal officials for `` Treason , Bribery , or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors '' and empowers the Senate to try such impeachments . The House may approve `` articles of impeachment '' by a simple majority vote ; however , a two - thirds vote is required for conviction in the Senate . A convicted official is automatically removed from office and may be disqualified from holding future office under the United States . No further punishment is permitted during the impeachment proceedings ; however , the party may face criminal penalties in a normal court of law . In the history of the United States , the House of Representatives has impeached sixteen officials , of whom seven were convicted . ( Another , Richard Nixon , resigned after the House Judiciary Committee passed articles of impeachment but before a formal impeachment vote by the full House . ) Only two Presidents of the United States have ever been impeached : Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Bill Clinton in 1998 . Both trials ended in acquittal ; in Johnson 's case , the Senate fell one vote short of the two - thirds majority required for conviction . Under the Twelfth Amendment , the House has the power to elect the President if no presidential candidate receives a majority of votes in the Electoral College . The Twelfth Amendment requires the House to choose from the three candidates with the highest numbers of electoral votes . The Constitution provides that `` the votes shall be taken by states , the representation from each state having one vote . '' It is rare for no presidential candidate to receive a majority of electoral votes . In the history of the United States , the House has only had to choose a President twice . In 1800 , which was before the adoption of the Twelfth Amendment , it elected Thomas Jefferson over Aaron Burr . In 1824 , it elected John Quincy Adams over Andrew Jackson and William H. Crawford . If no presidential candidate receives a majority of the electoral votes , the Senate elects the Vice President from the two candidates with the highest numbers of electoral votes .

what determines the number of house of representatives
[ "The composition and powers of the House are established by Article One of the United States Constitution. The House is composed of representatives who sit in congressional districts which are allocated to each of the 50 states on a basis of population as measured by the U.S. Census, with each district entitled one representative. Since its inception in 1789, all representatives are elected popularly. The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435.[1] As of the 2010 Census, the largest delegation is that of California, with fifty-three representatives; seven states have the smallest delegation possible, a single representative: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.[2]" ]

He and his partner / wife Lucy are sent to foil the plans of Balthazar Bratt , a former child star turned evil . Gru manages to stop Bratt from stealing the world 's largest diamond , but is unable to capture him . As a result of failing to capture Bratt , Gru and Lucy are fired from the AVL by its unreasonable new director Valerie Da Vinci , following the retirement of Silas Ramsbottom . Gru and Lucy reluctantly tell their children , Margo , Edith , and Agnes , of their termination , but assure them they will find new jobs . Most of Gru 's Minions leave Gru when he refuses to return to villainy despite losing his job . Meanwhile , Lucy struggles to adapt to her new role as the children 's new mom . The next morning , the family is approached by Fritz , the butler of Gru 's cheerful twin brother Dru , who lives in a distant country named Freedonia and longs to meet him . Gru is shocked to learn he has a twin . He confronts his mother , who reveals that when she and her husband divorced , they agreed to keep one child each . The family decides to travel to meet Dru , and they are surprised at his immense wealth , which Fritz attributes to their pig farm business . Meanwhile , the Minions are arrested for trespassing at a talent show set . Bratt manages to steal the diamond again , intending to use it to power a giant robot and destroy Hollywood as revenge for the cancellation of his show . Dru reveals to Gru that their recently deceased father was a legendary supervillain , whose villainous activities are the real source of the family 's wealth . As Dru was dismissed by their father as a disgrace , he asks his brother to teach him how to be a villain . When Gru refuses to revert to his old ways , Dru takes him on a joyride around Freedonia in their father 's technologically advanced car and the siblings bond . Meanwhile , Lucy tries to balance her tasks as a mom , which she exhibits after turning away a young boy named Niko who had fallen for Margo in the midst of a traditional cheese festival , while Edith and Agnes stumble into a local tavern and learn from the bartender about a mythical unicorn which lurks in a nearby forest . Gru tries to convince Agnes that unicorns are imaginary , but decides against it to avoid hurting her feelings . The next day , Agnes and Edith set out into the woods to track the mythical horse , only to find a one - horned goat whom Agnes adopts and dubs `` Lucky . '' Meanwhile , the Minions ' longing for Gru motivates them to escape from prison . Dru convinces Gru to steal the diamond , with Gru secretly intending to bring it to the AVL , which he hopes will convince Da Vinci to rehire him . Despite several setbacks , they manage to retrieve the diamond and are rescued by Lucy after narrowly escaping . After finding out Gru 's true motives , Dru confronts his brother about his lie . In return , Gru insults him and decides to leave Freedonia . Bratt , disguised as Lucy , kidnaps the children , and once again acquires the diamond . Gru and Dru resolve their differences and pursue him . With his robot powered by the diamond , Bratt terrorizes Hollywood , intending to send it into space with the use of superpowered gum . Lucy saves the children while Gru and Dru weaken Bratt 's robot with the weapons of their father 's car . Gru is knocked unconscious when the car is destroyed , and Dru manages to destroy the robot 's core from the inside when Bratt threatens to kill Gru . When Gru recovers , he battles Bratt in a dance fight , using it as a distraction to grab his weaponized keytar , and defeats him . Having rendezvoused with Gru , the Minions manage to destroy the gum already covering the city , and Gru and Dru reunite . Soon afterward , Gru and Lucy are reinstated in the AVL and the newly united family celebrate in Gru 's home . Lucy is acknowledged by the children as their mother . Lured back to villainy , Dru steals Gru 's ship , accompanied by the Minions . Gru and Lucy decide to give them a five - minute head - start before engaging pursuit .

Home media ( edit ) Despicable Me 3 will be released on DVD and Blu - ray on October 10 , 2017 in the US , and November 6 , 2017 in the UK . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) As of September 24 , 2017 , Despicable Me 3 has grossed $261.8 million in the United States and Canada and $758.3 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $1.020 billion , against a production budget of $80 million . On September 8 , it passed the $1 billion threshold , becoming the second Despicable Me film ( after Minions ) , second non-Disney animated film ( after Minions ) , third film of 2017 ( after Beauty and the Beast and The Fate of the Furious ) , the sixth animated film ( after Toy Story 3 , Frozen , Minions , Zootopia , and Finding Dory ) , and the thirty - first film overall to pass the mark . It became the first film since The Fate of the Furious ( also a Universal property ) in April 2017 to make over a billion dollars . In North America , the film opened alongside The House and Baby Driver , as well as the wide expansion of The Beguiled , and was projected to gross $85 -- 95 million in its opening weekend . It played in 4,529 theaters , setting the record for widest release of all - time , beating the amount set by The Twilight Saga : Eclipse in 2010 . It made $4.1 million from Thursday night previews , down slightly from the $4.7 million of the second film and $6.2 million made by Minions , and $29.2 million on its first day . It went on to debut to $72.4 million , slightly below expectations and the lowest of the series since the first film , but still topped the box office and was the 4th best opening for Illumination . It also opened to more than the next five films did combined ( Baby Driver 's $20.6 million , Transformers : The Last Knight 's $16.9 million , Wonder Woman 's $15.7 million , Cars 3 's $9.7 million and The House 's $8.7 million ) . In its second weekend the film grossed $33.6 million ( a drop of 53.6 % , more than the previous Despicable Me films but similar to Minions ) , finishing second at the box office behind newcomer Spider - Man : Homecoming ( $117 million ) . Internationally the film was released in five markets on June 16 , 2017 , and grossed $9.9 million in its opening weekend . In its third week of release the film opened in 46 more markets , grossing $95.6 million . Critical response ( edit ) On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 61 % based on 160 reviews , and an average rating of 5.7 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Despicable Me 3 should keep fans of the franchise consistently entertained with another round of colorful animation and zany -- albeit somewhat scattershot -- humor . '' On Metacritic , which assigns a normalized rating , the film has a score of 49 out of 100 based on 37 critics , indicating `` mixed or average reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A − '' on an A+ to F scale . IGN gave the film a score of 6 / 10 , saying , `` It 's not much , but Despicable Me 3 is at least enough for the younger fans of the franchise . '' Peter Debruge of Variety wrote , `` Despicable Me 3 is unwieldy , but it mostly works , as co-directors Pierre Coffin ( who also voices the Minions ) and Kyle Balda never lose sight of the film 's emotional center , packing the rest with as much humor as they can manage . The jokes come so fast and furious , the movie can hardly find room for Heitor Pereira 's funky score , and though Pharrell Williams has contributed five new songs to sell soundtracks ( including the sweet There 's Something Special ) , the movie hardly needs them . '' Alonso Duralde of TheWrap gave the film a mixed review , saying : `` Ultimately , none of these flaws will matter to the throngs of little kids who have made the previous Despicable Me movies ( and the superior Minions spin - off ) into giant global hits .

Homophone
Homophone - wikipedia Homophone This article is about the term in linguistics . For other uses , see Homophony ( disambiguation ) . Venn diagram showing the relationships between homophones ( blue circle ) and related linguistic concepts A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same ( to varying extent ) as another word but differs in meaning . A homophone may also differ in spelling . The two words may be spelled the same , such as rose ( flower ) and rose ( past tense of `` rise '' ) , or differently , such as carat , caret , and carrot , or to , two , and too . The term `` homophone '' may also apply to units longer or shorter than words , such as phrases , letters , or groups of letters which are pronounced the same as another phrase , letter , or group of letters . Any unit with this property is said to be `` homophonous '' . Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms . Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs . Contents 1 Etymology 2 In wordplay and games 2.1 Oronyms 3 Number of homophones 3.1 English 3.2 Japanese 3.3 Korean 4 Use in psychological research 4.1 Pseudo-homophones 4.2 Use as ambiguous information 5 Bibliography 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Etymology ( edit ) `` Homophone '' derives from the Greek homo - ( ὁμο ‐ ) , `` same '' , and phōnḗ ( φωνή ) , `` voice , utterance '' . In wordplay and games ( edit ) A sign reads , `` Trespassers will be shot on site ( sic ) . '' Note that `` site '' is a homophone of `` sight '' . Homophones are often used to create puns and to deceive the reader ( as in crossword puzzles ) or to suggest multiple meanings . The last usage is common in poetry and creative literature . An example of this is seen in Dylan Thomas 's radio play Under Milk Wood : `` The shops in mourning '' where mourning can be heard as mourning or morning . Another vivid example is Thomas Hood 's use of `` birth '' and `` berth '' and `` told '' and `` toll 'd '' ( tolled ) in his poem `` Faithless Sally Brown '' : His death , which happen 'd in his berth , At forty - odd befell : They went and told the sexton , and The sexton toll 'd the bell . In some accents , various sounds have merged in that they are no longer distinctive , and thus words that differ only by those sounds in an accent that maintains the distinction ( a minimal pair ) are homophonous in the accent with the merger . Some examples from English are : pin and pen in many southern American accents . merry , marry , and Mary in most American accents . The pairs do , due and forward , foreword are homophonous in most American accents but not in most English accents . The pairs talk , torque , and court , caught are distinguished in rhotic accents such as Scottish English and most dialects of American English , but are homophones in many non-rhotic accents such as British Received Pronunciation . Wordplay is particularly common in English because the multiplicity of linguistic influences offers considerable complication in spelling and meaning and pronunciation compared with other languages . Malapropisms , which often create a similar comic effect , are usually near - homophones . See also Eggcorn . Oronyms ( edit ) Homophones of multiple words or phrases ( as sometimes seen in word games ) are also known as `` oronyms '' . This term was coined by Gyles Brandreth and first published in his book The Joy of Lex ( 1980 ) , and it was used in the BBC programme Never Mind the Full Stops , which also featured Brandreth as a guest . Examples of `` oronyms '' ( which may only be true homophones in certain dialects of English ) include : `` ice cream '' vs. `` I scream '' ( as in the popular song `` I scream . You scream . We all scream for ice cream . '' ) `` euthanasia '' vs. `` Youth in Asia '' `` depend '' vs. `` deep end '' `` Gemini '' vs. `` Jim and I '' vs. `` Jem in eye '' `` the sky '' vs. `` this guy '' ( most notably as a mondegreen in Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix ) `` four candles '' vs. `` fork handles '' `` sand which is there '' vs. `` sandwiches there '' `` philanderer '' vs. `` Flanders '' `` example '' vs. `` egg sample '' `` some others '' vs. `` some mothers '' vs. `` smothers '' `` minute '' vs. `` my newt '' `` vodka '' vs. `` Ford Ka '' `` foxhole '' vs. `` Vauxhall '' `` big hand '' vs. `` began '' `` Mégane '' vs. `` Meg 's hand '' `` real eyes '' vs. `` realize '' vs. `` real lies '' `` a dressed male '' vs. `` addressed mail '' `` them all '' vs. `` the mall '' `` Isle of Dogs '' vs. `` I love dogs . '' In his Appalachian comedy routine , American comedian Jeff Foxworthy frequently uses oronyms which play on exaggerated `` country '' accents . Notable examples include : Initiate : `` My wife ate two sandwiches , initiate ( and then she ate ) a bag o ' tater chips . '' Mayonnaise : `` Mayonnaise ( Man , there is ) a lot of people here tonight . '' Innuendo : `` Hey dude I saw a bird fly innuendo ( in your window ) . '' Moustache : `` I Moustache ( must ask ) you a question . '' Number of homophones ( edit ) English ( edit ) There are sites , for example , https://web.archive.org/web/20160825095711/http://people.sc.fsu.edu/~jburkardt/fun/wordplay/multinyms.html , which have lists of homonyms or rather homophones and even ' multinyms ' which have as many as seven spellings . There are differences in such lists due to dialect pronunciations and usage of old words . In English , there are approximately 88 triples ; 24 quadruples ; 2 quintuples ; 1 sextet and 1 septet . The septet is : raise , rays , rase , raze , rehs , res , réis Other than the three common words ( raise , rays and raze ) , there are : rase -- a verb meaning `` to erase '' ; rehs -- the plural of reh , a mixture of sodium salts found as an efflorescence in India ; res -- the plural of re , a name for one step of the musical scale ; réis -- the plural of real , a currency unit of Portugal and Brazil . If proper names are allowed then a nonet is Ayr ( Scottish town ) , Aire ( Yorkshire River ) , Eyre ( legal term and various geographic locations ) , heir , air , err ( some speakers ) , ere ( poetic `` before '' ) , e'er ( poetic `` ever '' , some speakers ) , are ( unit of area ; some speakers ) . Japanese ( edit ) There are a large number of homophones in Japanese , due to the use of Sino - Japanese vocabulary , where borrowed words and morphemes from Chinese are widely used in Japanese , but many sound differences , such as tones , are lost . These are to some extent disambiguated via Japanese pitch accent , or from context , but many of these words are primarily or almost exclusively used in writing , where they are easily distinguished as they are written with different kanji ; others are used for puns , which are frequent in Japanese . An extreme example is kikō , which is the pronunciation of at least 22 words ( some quite rare or specialized , others common ; all these examples are two - character compounds ) , including : 機構 ( organization / mechanism ) , 紀行 ( travelogue ) , 稀覯 ( rare ) , 騎行 ( horseback riding ) , 貴校 ( ( school ( respectful ) ) , 奇 功 ( outstanding achievement ) , 貴公 ( word for `` you '' used by men addressing male equals or inferiors ) , 起稿 ( draft ) , 奇行 ( eccentricity ) , 機巧 ( contrivance ) , 寄港 ( stopping at port ) , 帰 校 ( returning to school ) , 気功 ( breathing exercise / qigong ) , 寄稿 ( contribute an article / written piece ) , 機甲 ( armor , e.g. of a tank ) , 帰航 ( homeward voyage ) , 奇 効 ( remarkable effect ) , 季候 ( season / climate ) , 気孔 ( stoma ) , 起工 ( setting to work ) , 気候 ( climate ) , 帰港 ( returning to port ) . Korean ( edit ) The Korean language contains a combination of words that strictly belong to Korean and words that are loanwords from Chinese . Due to Chinese being pronounced with varying tones and Korean 's removal of those tones , and because the modern Korean writing system , Hangeul , has a more finite number of phonemes than , for example , Latin - derived alphabets such as English 's , there is a large number of homonyms with both same spelling and pronunciation . For example , ' 화장 ( 化粧 ) 하다 ' : ' to put on makeup ' and ' 화장 ( 火葬 ) 하다 ' : ' to cremate ' . Also , ' 유산 ( 遺産 ) ' : ' inheritance ' and ' 유산 ( 流産 ) ' : ' miscarriage '. ' 방구 ' : ' fart ' , and ' 방구 ( 防具 ) ' : ' guard '. ' 밤 ( 밤 ː ) ' : ' chestnut ' , and ' 밤 ' : ' night ' . There are heterographs , but far fewer , contrary to the tendency in English . For example , ' 학문 ( 學問 ) ' : ' learning ' , and ' 항문 ( 肛門 ) ' : ' anus ' . Using hanja ( 한자 , 漢字 ) , which are Chinese characters , such words are written differently . Implicit above , like in other languages , Korean homonyms can be used to make puns . The context in which the word is used indicates which meaning is intended by the speaker or writer . Use in psychological research ( edit ) Pseudo-homophones ( edit ) Pseudo-homophones are pseudowords that are phonetically identical to a word . For example , groan / grone and crane / crain are pseudo-homophone pairs , whereas plane / plain is a homophone pair since both letter strings are recognised words . Both types of pairs are used in lexical decision tasks to investigate word recognition . Use as ambiguous information ( edit ) Homophones , specifically heterographs , where one spelling is of a threatening nature and one is not ( e.g. slay / sleigh , war / wore ) have been used in studies of anxiety as a test of cognitive models that those with high anxiety tend to interpret ambiguous information in a threatening manner .

While he and his half - Pawnee son , Hawk , are hunting , the company 's camp is attacked by an Arikara war party . Guided by Glass , the survivors travel on foot to Fort Kiowa , as traveling downriver will make them vulnerable . After docking , the crew stashes the pelts near the shore . Glass is badly mauled by a grizzly bear and left close to death . Trapper John Fitzgerald , fearful of another Arikara attack , argues that the group must mercy - kill Glass and keep moving . Henry agrees , but is unable to pull the trigger ; instead , he offers money for someone to stay with Glass . When the only volunteers are Hawk and the young Jim Bridger , Fitzgerald agrees to stay for money , to recoup his losses from the abandoned pelts . After the others leave , Fitzgerald attempts to smother Glass but is discovered by Hawk . Fitzgerald stabs him to death as Glass watches helplessly . The next morning , Fitzgerald convinces Bridger that the Arikara are approaching and they must abandon Glass . After they depart , Fitzgerald admits he lied . When Fitzgerald and Bridger meet Henry at the fort , Fitzgerald tells him that Glass died and Hawk vanished . Glass begins an arduous journey through the wilderness . He performs crude self - surgery and eludes the pursuing Arikara who are looking for the Chief 's kidnapped daughter , Powaqa . Glass encounters Pawnee refugee Hikuc , who says that `` revenge is in the Creator 's hands . '' The men share bison meat and travel together . After a hallucinogenic experience , Glass discovers Hikuc hanged by French hunters . He infiltrates their camp and sees the leader raping Powaqa . He frees her , kills two hunters , and steals Hikuc 's horse , leaving his canteen behind . The next morning , Glass is ambushed by the Arikara and driven over a cliff on his horse . He survives the stormy night by eviscerating the horse and sheltering inside its carcass . A French survivor staggers into Fort Kiowa and Bridger recognizes his canteen as Glass 's . Believing it stolen , Henry organizes a search party . Fitzgerald , realizing Glass is alive , empties the outpost 's safe and flees . The search party finds the exhausted Glass . Enraged , Henry orders Bridger arrested , but Glass vouches that Bridger was deceived and reveals that Fitzgerald murdered Hawk . Glass and Henry set out in pursuit of Fitzgerald . After the two split up , Fitzgerald ambushes and kills Henry . Glass uses Henry 's corpse on his horse as a decoy and shoots Fitzgerald in the arm . He pursues Fitzgerald to a riverbank where they engage in a brutal fight . Glass is about to kill Fitzgerald , but spots a band of Arikara downstream . He remembers Hikuc 's words and pushes Fitzgerald downstream into the hands of the Arikara . The chief kills and scalps Fitzgerald and the Arikara spare Glass . Heavily wounded , Glass retreats into the mountains where he is visited by the spirit of his wife . Cast ( edit ) Leonardo DiCaprio as Hugh Glass Tom Hardy as John Fitzgerald Domhnall Gleeson as Andrew Henry Will Poulter as Jim Bridger Forrest Goodluck as Hawk Paul Anderson as Anderson Kristoffer Joner as Murphy Joshua Burge as Stubby Bill Duane Howard as Elk Dog Melaw Nakehk'o as Powaqa Fabrice Adde as Toussaint Arthur Redcloud as Hikuc Lukas Haas as Jones Brendan Fletcher as Fryman Tyson Wood as Weston Grace Dove as Hugh Glass 's wife Isaiah Tootoosis as Boy Hawk Production ( edit ) Development and financing ( edit ) Development of The Revenant began in August 2001 , with producer Akiva Goldsman acquiring the rights to Michael Punke 's then - unpublished manuscript . David Rabe had written the film 's script . The production was picked up by Park Chan - wook , with Samuel L. Jackson in mind to star . Park later left the project . The development stalled until 2010 , when Mark L. Smith wrote a new adaptation of the novel for Steve Golin 's Anonymous Content . In May 2010 , Smith revealed that John Hillcoat was attached to direct the film and that Christian Bale was in negotiation to star the movie . Hillcoat left the project in October 2010 . Jean - François Richet was considered to replace him , but Alejandro G. Iñárritu signed on to direct in August 2011 . Goldsman was also confirmed to be producing with Weed Road Pictures . In November , New Regency Productions joined to produce with Anonymous Content , and 20th Century Fox was confirmed to be distributing the film . Days later , Iñárritu stated that he was seeking Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn for the two lead roles . Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu Once Iñárritu agreed to direct , he began working with Smith on script rewrites . In an interview with Creative Screenwriting , Smith admitted during this process he was unsure if Iñárritu would even be able to film some of the sequences they wrote . He recalled , `` He would have some ideas and I would say , ' Alejandro , we ca n't pull this off . It 's not going to work , ' and he would say , ' Mark , trust me , we can do this . ' In the end , he was right . '' The film was put on hold in March 2012 , as New Regency hired Iñárritu to direct an adaptation of Flim - Flam Man , Jennifer Vogel 's non-fiction book about her criminal father . Penn was also under consideration for the lead role in that film . In December 2012 , Iñárritu announced that his next film would be Birdman or ( The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance ) , a comedy - drama about an actor who once played a famous superhero . For his work , Iñárritu won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay , and the film won Best Picture . Filming took place in March 2013 . Iñárritu was scheduled to begin production on The Revenant after Birdman wrapped . The film was granted a production budget of $60 million , with $30 million funded by New Regency . Brett Ratner 's RatPac - Dune Entertainment , a joint venture between Ratner 's RatPac Entertainment and 20th Century Fox 's former financing partner , Dune Entertainment , also funded the film . Worldview Entertainment , who also co-financed Birdman , was originally set to fund the film but backed out in July 2014 due to the departure of its CEO , Christopher Woodrow . New Regency approached 20th Century Fox for additional funding , but the company declined , citing the pay - or - play contracts made for both DiCaprio and Tom Hardy , which would require that the actors be paid regardless of whether the film is completed . Annapurna Pictures ' Megan Ellison entered negotiations to finance the film shortly after . The Chinese company Guangdong Alpha Animation and Culture Company partially financed the film . Filming ( edit ) Principal photography for The Revenant began in October 2014 . A planned two - week break from filming in December was extended to six weeks which forced Tom Hardy to drop out of Suicide Squad . In February 2015 , Iñárritu , who shot the film using natural lighting , stated that production would last `` until the end of April or May '' , as the crew is `` shooting in such remote far - away locations that , by the time we arrive and have to return , we have already spent 40 % of the day '' . Brad Weston , president and CEO of New Regency Pictures , stated that principal photography had been challenging due to the ambitious nature of the film . Ultimately , principal photography wrapped in August 2015 . The film was shot in twelve locations in three countries : Canada , the United States , and Argentina . In Canada , filming took place in Calgary and Fortress Mountain in Alberta , in Kananaskis Country west of Calgary , the Badlands near Drumheller , and at Squamish and Mammoth Studios , Burnaby , in British Columbia . The scenes in the waterfall were filmed at the Kootenai Falls near Libby , Montana . While the initial plan was to film entirely in Canada , the weather was ultimately too warm , leading the filmmakers to locations near the Rio Olivia at the tip of Argentina with snow on the ground , to shoot the film 's ending . Crew members often complained about difficult shoots , with many quitting or being fired . Mary Parent was then brought in as a producer . Iñárritu stated that some of the crew members had left the film , explaining that `` as a director , if I identify a violin that is out of tune , I have to take that from the orchestra . '' On his experience filming , DiCaprio stated : `` I can name 30 or 40 sequences that were some of the most difficult things I 've ever had to do . Whether it 's going in and out of frozen rivers , or sleeping in animal carcasses , or what I ate on set . ( I was ) enduring freezing cold and possible hypothermia constantly . '' Iñárritu had stated that he originally wanted to shoot the film chronologically , a process that would have added $7 million to the film 's production budget . Iñárritu later confirmed that the film was shot in sequence , despite Hardy 's statement that the film could not be shot chronologically , due to weather conditions . In July 2015 , it was reported that the film 's budget had ballooned from the original $60 million to $95 million , and by the time production wrapped it had reached $135 million . Visual effects ( edit ) The visual effects for The Revenant were produced primarily by Industrial Light & Magic ( ILM ) . Other companies , such as Moving Picture Company ( MPC ) and Cinesite , also created visual effects for the film . Music ( edit ) Main article : The Revenant ( soundtrack ) The musical score for The Revenant was composed by Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto who had previously scored the Square Enix 's Dawn of Mana , The Last Emperor ( directed by Bernardo Bertolucci ) , Poppoya ( directed by Yasuo Furuhata ) , Tony Takitani ( directed by Jun Ichikawa the director of the Mitsui ReHouse commercial from 1997 to 1999 starring Chizuru Ikewaki and Mao Inoue ) , and German electronic musician Alva Noto with additional music composed by Bryce Dessner . The main body of the score was recorded at the Seattlemusic Scoring Stage in the Bastyr Chapel in greater Seattle , Washington by musicians of the Northwest Sinfonia . Sakamoto conducted these sessions . Bryce Dessner 's portion of the score was performed by the 25 - piece Berlin - based orchestra known as `` stargaz e '' under conductor André de Ridder . Additional licensed music includes `` Become Ocean '' , the Pulitzer Prize and Grammy Award - winning work of John Luther Adams as recorded by the Seattle Symphony with conductor Ludovic Morlot and an excerpt of `` Jetsun Mila '' from French musician and composer Eliane Radigue . A soundtrack album was released digitally on December 25 , 2015 , and on CD on January 8 , 2016 . Milan Records will release a vinyl pressing of the soundtrack in April 2016 . The score by Sakamoto and Noto was ruled ineligible for the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 2016 Oscars as it was deemed that it was `` assembled from the music of more than one composer '' . Documentary ( edit ) The film was accompanied by a 44 - minute documentary , named A World Unseen , highlighting the process of making the production . A World Unseen was released on January 21 , 2016 , on YouTube ; both the date and medium of the documentary 's release made it ineligible for the Academy Award for Best Documentary ( Short Subject ) in the same year as the film nomination . Themes ( edit ) In the Los Angeles Review of Books , film critic Wai Chee Dimock compared The Revenant 's themes to those addressed in the literary works of James Fenimore Cooper , particularly The Last of the Mohicans . Dimock argues that the film re-interprets the concept of `` half - breeds '' from a derogatory idea that Cooper despised to an aesthetic way in which to see the world . She compared both works ' protagonists -- Glass and Hawk - eye -- as literary foils , with Glass living an inversion of the latter 's biography and perspective . In the documentary of the film titled A World Unseen , Iñárritu has stated that for the main themes of the film he revisits the issues and concerns of intense parental and filial relations , which audiences of his previous films readily recognize as a recurrent theme in his previous work . Regarding the theme of revenge seen throughout The Revenant , Iñárritu has stated that the approach of vengeance seen in the film needs to be significantly tempered by anyone who would want to see vengeance as either an effective or useful moral to be applied in life . In the end , Iñárritu states , there can only be disappointment and lack of fulfillment for anyone who looks to revenge as providing a higher purpose for living or a life defining purpose . Historical accuracy ( edit ) Cheyenne River Indian Reservation in South Dakota . Glass ' survival journey did not take place in the cold season , nor did it involve tall mountain ranges . The Guardian reported , `` The backstory about Glass 's love for a Pawnee woman is fiction . It has been suggested the real Glass had such a relationship , but there 's no firm evidence -- and no evidence that he had any children ... As for the ending , it has been changed in one significant way : in real life , nobody got killed . '' American Rifleman reported , `` There was no Pawnee wife or children to motivate him , no real cause for revenge , either , as he understood that Jim Bridger and John Fitzgerald honestly thought he was as good as dead . He might have done the same thing if their roles were reversed . The one constant in every telling of the tale until `` The Revenant '' opened was Hugh Glass wanted his gun back . '' The reporting about this story indicates that Glass did track down Fitzgerald and demand the rifle 's return , which Fitzgerald sullenly complied with . Canadian actor Roy Dupuis was strongly critical of the movie for portraying French - Canadian voyageurs as murderous rapists . Dupuis was originally offered a role as a voyageur , but he rejected it due to perceptions of anti-French bias and historical inaccuracies . According to Allan Greer , the Canada Research Chair in Colonial North America , `` generally the American traders had a worse reputation than the Canadians . '' Iñárritu has made a special point of emphasizing the importance of historical issues of ethnicity approached in the film and reflected in the mixed ethnic background of Hugh Glass 's son portrayed in the film ( portrayed as half Pawnee by Glass 's wife ) as relating to his own life and his identification with ethnic concerns . Iñárritu has referred to having encountered constant xenophobia and stated that : `` These constant and relentless xenophobic ( comments ) have been widely spread by the media without shame , embraced and cheered by leaders and communities around the U.S. The foundation of all this is so outrageous that it can easily be minimized as an SNL sketch , a mere entertainment , a joke ... I debated with myself , if I should bring up this uncomfortable subject tonight but in light of the constant and relentless xenophobic comments that have been expressed recently against my Mexican fellows , it is inevitable . '' The massive pile of bison skulls depicted in the film ( based upon a real life photograph from the mid-1870s ) is also an anachronism . The slaughter of bison on that scale was not yet underway in the early 1820s . Similarly for the assertion that the `` Anglos '' had taken the Indians ' land , which was not to occur in that part of the country for another 20 years . Trapper John Fitzgerald refers to the area of modern - day Texas as if it is a part of the Union or an aligned territory . However , in 1823 Texas was a sparsely populated ( in 1825 , Texas had about 3,500 people , with most of Mexican descent ) province of Mexico . Native American culture ( edit ) In order to portray Arikara culture accurately , Iñárritu hired several cultural consultants and teamed up with two linguists to provide faithful Arikara and Pawnee language lines for actors . This proved difficult since those languages have no native speakers left . Hickuc , the Pawnee man who helps Glass survive , is played by a Navajo actor . However , in one scene , a Pawnee character is accompanied by a voiceover in Inupiak , which is spoken in Arctic Alaska , thousands of kilometers away and a different language family from Pawnee . The voiceover was taken from a John Luther Adams recording ; the words originally came from an Inuit woman named Uvavnuk , an angakkuq ( shaman ) and oral poet . Release ( edit ) The Revenant had a limited release in the United States on December 25 , 2015 , including Los Angeles -- making it eligible for the 88th Academy Awards -- before being released nationwide on January 8 , 2016 . The film opened in Australia on January 7 , 2016 and in the United Kingdom on January 15 , 2016 . In the Philippines , the film 's release date was originally set for January 27 , 2016 , but it was eventually delayed a week to February 3 , 2016 . Although studios initially chose not to pursue a theatrical release in China , following the film 's three wins at the 88th Academy Awards on February 28 , 2016 , the film was granted a release in China but with several cuts . It was released on March 18 , 2016 . Home Media ( edit ) The DVD , Blu - ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu - ray were released on April 19 , 2016 in the US . Opening sales of the DVD along with on - line streaming orders placed The Revenant as number one in sales at Amazon . Distribution to major rental outlets in the US was done on May 17 , 2016 . Piracy ( edit ) On December 20 , 2015 , less than a week before its release , screener copies of The Revenant and numerous Oscar contenders , including The Hateful Eight , Creed and Straight Outta Compton , were uploaded to many websites . The FBI linked the case to co-CEO Andrew Kosove of Alcon Entertainment . Kosove claimed that he had `` never seen this DVD ( s ) '' , and that `` it never touched his hands . '' In October 2016 , a former 20th Century Fox employee was fined $1.12 million in a separate case for uploading both The Revenant and The Peanuts Movie online . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) The Revenant grossed $183.6 million in the United States and Canada and $349.3 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $533 million , against a production budget of $135 million . Deadline.com calculated the net profit of the film to be $61.6 million , when factoring together all expenses and revenues . In North America , The Revenant opened in limited release on December 25 , 2015 , and over the weekend grossed $474,560 from four theaters in New York City and Los Angeles ( $118,640 per screen ) , finishing twenty - third at the box office . It was the second - biggest theater average of 2015 behind the $130,000 four - screen debut of Steve Jobs . The film earned a total of $1.6 million from its two - week limited run before expanding wide on January 8 , 2016 , across 3,371 theaters . It made $2.3 million from its early Thursday preview showings from 2,510 theaters . On its opening day , the film earned $14.4 million , ranking first at the box office . The film grossed $39.8 million in its opening weekend from 3,375 theaters , exceeding initial projections by 70 % , and finishing second at the box office behind Star Wars : The Force Awakens ( $42.4 million ) , which was on its fourth weekend of play . It was the director 's biggest opening of all - time , and the fourth - biggest for DiCaprio and supporting actor Tom Hardy . Critics noted that The Force Awakens had an advantage , considering that it was playing at 781 more theaters , that Sunday matinees are family - friendly , and since it had the benefit of playing in all North American IMAX theaters . Nevertheless , The Revenant played very balanced across the U.S. and overperformed in all states except the Northeast region . Its wide release weekend is among the top openings in the month of January . It finally topped the box office in its fifth weekend overall and third weekend in wide release after competing with Ride Along 2 in its second weekend . It added a $16 million in its third weekend , which was down 49.7 % but topped the box office , despite a blizzard blanketing most of the East Coast which reportedly hurt many films ' box office performance . The following weekend it was overtaken by Fox 's own animated movie Kung Fu Panda 3 thereby topping the box office for just one weekend . Following the announcement of the Oscar nominees on January 14 , The Revenant witnessed the biggest boost among the Best Picture category , jumping from $54.1 million to $170.5 million , an increase of + 215 % up to the Oscar ceremony in the weekend ending February 28 . Outside North America , the film secured a release in 78 countries . It made $20.5 million from 2,407 screens in just 18 markets , placing behind The Force Awakens at the international box office chart and first among newly released films . The following weekend , it added $32.3 million from 25 markets on 4,849 screens . The film topped the international box office in its third weekend -- the same weekend when it topped the U.S. box office -- overtaking The Force Awakens with $33.7 million from 48 markets . In the United Kingdom and Ireland , it took the No. 1 spot with $7.87 million or £ 5.2 million ( $7.4 million ) from 589 theaters and remained there for a second weekend declining only by 24 % with £ 3.86 million ( $5.5 million ) , as well as for a third weekend . Similarly , in Russia , it passed The Force Awakens to take the top spot with $7.5 million from 1,063 screens . In France , it has the biggest opening day in Paris and the third biggest opening weekend of 2016 ( so far ) with $8.2 million . It also opened at No. 1 in Mexico ( $5.1 million ) , Spain ( $4 million ) , Holland ( $1.3 million ) , Belgium ( $1.1 million ) , Argentina ( $955,000 ) , Sweden ( $914,000 ) , South Korea , Denmark , Norway , Israel , Egypt and Portugal among other markets . In Germany ( $4.6 million ) and Australia ( $2.9 million ) , it debuted at No. 2 both behind The Force Awakens and in Brazil ( $2.17 million ) behind The Ten Commandments . It had one of the top ten openings of all time for a Fox film , not accounting for inflation in South Korea with $5.7 million and went on to top the box office there for a second weekend with $3.22 million despite cold weather affecting theater attendance resulting in low box office performance . In Russia , despite not opening at No. 1 , it topped the box office in its second weekend with $4.4 million -- more than The Force Awakens -- and went on to top for a third weekend with $3.6 million . In China it had an opening day of around $11 million from more than 11,000 screens , including $250,000 in midnight previews , and $23 million in two days . In its opening weekend , it grossed $31 million , coming in second place behind the animated Zootopia . IMAX comprised $2.3 million on 278 screens . In terms of total earnings , its largest markets outside of the U.S. and Canada are China ( $58.6 million ) , the United Kingdom ( $32.8 million ) , Germany ( $28.7 million ) and France ( $28.2 million ) . The film opened in Japan on March 23 . Critical response ( edit ) The Revenant received positive reviews from critics , with DiCaprio and Hardy 's performances , Iñárritu 's directing and Lubezki 's cinematography all being praised . However , the film 's runtime was criticized . On Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 81 % , based on 327 reviews , with an average rating of 7.9 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads : `` As starkly beautiful as it is harshly uncompromising , The Revenant uses Leonardo DiCaprio 's committed performance as fuel for an absorbing drama that offers punishing challenges -- and rich rewards . '' On Metacritic , the film has a weighted average score of 76 out of 100 , based on 50 critics , indicating `` generally favorable reviews '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale . Tom Hardy received strong praise for his performance as John Fitzgerald . Reviewers cited in a CBS News survey of critics highly praised DiCaprio 's performance , referring to it as an `` astonishing testament to his commitment to a role '' and as an `` anchoring performance of ferocious 200 percent commitment . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called DiCaprio 's acting `` a virtuoso performance , thrilling in its brute force and silent eloquence . '' Writing for NY Magazine / Vulture , David Edelstein called the film a `` tour de force '' and `` ( b ) leak as hell but considerably more beautiful , '' but noted the film had `` traditional masculinity instead of a search for what illuminates man 's inhumanity to man . '' Justin Chang of Variety wrote Iñárritu `` increasingly succumbs to the air of grim overdetermination that has marred much of ( his ) past work '' and it was `` an imposing vision ... but also an inflated and emotionally stunted one . '' Stephanie Zacharek , writing for TIME magazine , gave a positive review to the film stating : `` Inarritu may have fashioned The Revenant as the ultimate endurance test , but as Glass , DiCaprio simply endures . He gives the movie a beating heart , offering it up , figuratively speaking , alive and bloody on a platter . It -- he -- is the most visceral effect in the movie : revenge served warm . Bon Appetite . '' Richard Brody of The New Yorker was critical of the film , and said that Emmanuel Lubezki 's images were mere `` pictorial ornament ( s ) to ( Alejandro González Iñárritu 's ) bland theatrical stagings . '' Slant Magazine 's writer Ed Gonzalez suggested that the Slant staff in large part disliked the film : `` Our contempt for The Revenant knows no limits . '' Gonzalez unfavorably compared Iñárritu 's work to Terrence Malick 's 2005 film The New World . In the official review , Slant writer Jaime N. Christley wrote : `` The Revenant ( is ) a misery-fest that plants its narrative flags as carelessly as a Roland Emmerich blockbuster , guaranteeing us a viewing experience almost as arduous as the trials depicted on screen , before reaching a conclusion that 's sealed the moment audiences first meet the key players . After an obligatory false calm , The Revenant 's proper opening scene is a show - stopping massacre at a fur - trapper 's campsite . It 's the kind of thing Howard Hawks would have handled -- and did , in The Big Sky -- in under 90 seconds , with mostly off - camera particulars and minimal effects , but González Iñárritu forces it to resemble the Normandy Beach sequence in Saving Private Ryan as much as history or sense will allow , and then some . '' The Revenant was ranked 22nd on Metacritic 's and 79th on Rotten Tomatoes ' list of best films of 2015 . Accolades ( edit ) Main article : List of accolades received by The Revenant ( 2015 film ) Leonardo DiCaprio 's performance was widely acclaimed and ultimately won him an Academy Award , the first of his career after five previous nominations .

where was the revenant supposed to have taken place
[ "In 1823, Hugh Glass guides Andrew Henry’s trappers through unorganized territory. While he and his half-Pawnee son, Hawk, are hunting, the company's camp is attacked by an Arikara war party. Guided by Glass, the survivors travel on foot to Fort Kiowa, as traveling downriver will make them vulnerable. After docking, the crew stashes the pelts near the shore." ]

Demonstration sport in 1932 , 1988 and 1992 . Officially added in 1998 . Paralympic Wheelchair curling officially added in 2006 . Curling is a sport in which players slide stones on a sheet of ice towards a target area which is segmented into four concentric circles . It is related to bowls , boules and shuffleboard . Two teams , each with four players , take turns sliding heavy , polished granite stones , also called rocks , across the ice curling sheet towards the house , a circular target marked on the ice . Each team has eight stones , with each player throwing two . The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game ; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each end , which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones . A game usually consists of eight or ten ends . The curler can induce a curved path by causing the stone to slowly turn as it slides , and the path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms who accompany it as it slides down the sheet , using the brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone . Sweeping a rock makes it curl less , and decreases the friction that slows the rock down . A great deal of strategy and teamwork go into choosing the ideal path and placement of a stone for each situation , and the skills of the curlers determine the degree to which the stone will achieve the desired result . This gives curling its nickname of `` chess on ice '' .

The world 's oldest curling stone and the world 's oldest football are now kept in the same museum ( the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum ) in Stirling . The first written reference to a contest using stones on ice coming from the records of Paisley Abbey , Renfrewshire , in February 1541 . Two paintings , `` Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap '' and `` The Hunters in the Snow '' ( both dated 1565 ) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder depict Flemish peasants curling , albeit without brooms ; Scotland and the Low Countries had strong trading and cultural links during this period , which is also evident in the history of golf . A curling match at Eglinton Castle , Ayrshire , Scotland in 1860 . The curling house is located to the left of the picture . The word curling first appears in print in 1620 in Perth , Scotland , in the preface and the verses of a poem by Henry Adamson . The sport was ( and still is , in Scotland and Scottish - settled regions like southern New Zealand ) also known as `` the roaring game '' because of the sound the stones make while traveling over the pebble ( droplets of water applied to the playing surface ) . The verbal noun curling is formed from the Scots ( and English ) verb curl , which describes the motion of the stone . Group of people curling on a lake in Dartmouth , Nova Scotia , Canada , c. 1897 Kilsyth Curling Club claims to be the first club in the world , having been formally constituted in 1716 ; it is still in existence today . Kilsyth also claims the oldest purpose - built curling pond in the world at Colzium , in the form of a low dam creating a shallow pool some 100 by 250 metres ( 330 by 820 ft ) in size . The International Olympic Committee recognises the Royal Caledonian Curling Club ( founded as the Grand Caledonian Curling Club in 1838 ) as developing the first official rules for the sport . Men curling in Toronto , Ontario , Canada , in 1909 In the early history of curling , the playing stones were simply flat - bottomed stones from rivers or fields , which lacked a handle and were of inconsistent size , shape and smoothness . Some early stones had holes for a finger and the thumb , akin to ten - pin bowling balls . Unlike today , the thrower had little control over the ' curl ' or velocity and relied more on luck than on precision , skill and strategy . The sport was often played on frozen rivers although purpose - built ponds were later created in many Scottish towns . For example , the Scottish poet David Gray describes whisky drinking curlers on the Luggie Water at Kirkintilloch . Curling on Lake of Menteith from 2010 . The last official Grand Match was held here in 1979 . In Darvel , East Ayrshire , the weavers relaxed by playing curling matches using the heavy stone weights from the looms ' warp beams , fitted with a detachable handle for the purpose . Many a wife would keep her husband 's brass curling stone handle on the mantelpiece , brightly polished until the next time it was needed . Central Canadian curlers often used ' irons ' rather than stones until the early 1900s ; Canada is the only country known to have done so , while others experimented with wood or ice - filled tins . Outdoor curling was very popular in Scotland between the 16th and 19th centuries because the climate provided good ice conditions every winter . Scotland is home to the international governing body for curling , the World Curling Federation in Perth , which originated as a committee of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club , the mother club of curling . Today , the sport is most firmly established in Canada , having been taken there by Scottish emigrants . The Royal Montreal Curling Club , the oldest established sports club still active in North America , was established in 1807 . The first curling club in the United States was established in 1830 , and the sport was introduced to Switzerland and Sweden before the end of the 19th century , also by Scots . Today , curling is played all over Europe and has spread to Brazil , Japan , Australia , New Zealand , China , and Korea . The first world championship for curling was limited to men and was known as the Scotch Cup , held in Falkirk and Edinburgh , Scotland , in 1959 . The first world title was won by the Canadian team from Regina , Saskatchewan , skipped by Ernie Richardson . ( The skip is the team member who calls the shots ; see below . ) Curling was one of the first sports that was popular with women and girls . Olympic curling ( edit ) Curling at Youth Olympic Games 2012 Main article : Curling at the Winter Olympics Curling pictogram Curling has been a medal sport in the Winter Olympic Games since the 1998 Winter Olympics . It currently includes men 's , women 's and mixed doubles tournaments ( the mixed tournament was held for the first time in 2018 ) . In February 2002 , the International Olympic Committee retroactively decided that the curling competition from the 1924 Winter Olympics ( originally called Semaine des Sports d'Hiver , or International Winter Sports Week ) would be considered official Olympic events and no longer be considered demonstration events . Thus , the first Olympic medals in curling , which at the time was played outdoors , were awarded for the 1924 Winter Games , with the gold medal won by Great Britain and Ireland , two silver medals by Sweden , and the bronze by France . A demonstration tournament was also held during the 1932 Winter Olympic Games between four teams from Canada and four teams from the United States , with Canada winning 12 games to 4 . Since the 1998 Olympics , Canada has dominated the sport with their men 's teams winning gold in 2006 , 2010 , and 2014 , and silver in 1998 and 2002 . The women 's team won gold in 1998 and 2014 , a silver in 2010 , and a bronze in 2002 and 2006 . The mixed doubles team won gold in 2018 . Equipment ( edit ) The playing area in curling is shown here . Stones must land between the hog line ( bottom of photo ) and the back line ( behind the rings ) and may not contact boards or out lines ( on the sides ) at any time during travel . Curling sheet ( edit ) The playing surface or curling sheet is defined by the World Curling Federation Rules of Curling . It is a rectangular area of ice , carefully prepared to be as flat and level as possible , 146 to 150 feet ( 45 to 46 m ) in length by 14.5 to 16.5 feet ( 4.4 to 5.0 m ) in width . The shorter borders of the sheet are called the backboards . Because of the elongated shape , several sheets may be laid out side by side in the same arena , allowing multiple games to be played simultaneously . A target , the house , is centred on the intersection of the centre line , drawn lengthwise down the centre of the sheet and the tee line , drawn 16 feet ( 4.9 m ) from , and parallel to , the backboard . These lines divide the house into quarters . The house consists of a centre circle ( the button ) and three concentric rings , of diameters 4 , 8 and 12 feet , formed by painting or laying coloured vinyl sheet under the ice and are usually distinguished by colour . A stone must at least touch the outer ring in order to score ( see Scoring below ) ; otherwise the rings are merely a visual aid for aiming and judging which stone is closer to the button . Two hog lines are drawn 37 feet ( 11 m ) from , and parallel to , the backboard . The hacks are fixed 12 feet ( 3.7 m ) behind each button ; a hack gives the thrower something to push against when making the throw . On indoor rinks , there are usually two fixed hacks , rubber - lined holes , one on each side of the centre line , with the inside edge no more than 3 inches ( 76 mm ) from the centre line and the front edge on the hack line . A single moveable hack may also be used . The ice may be natural but is usually frozen by a refrigeration plant pumping a brine solution through numerous pipes fixed lengthwise at the bottom of a shallow pan of water . Most curling clubs have an ice maker whose main job is to care for the ice . At the major curling championships , ice maintenance is extremely important . Large events , such as the Brier or other national / international championships , are typically held in an arena that presents a challenge to the ice maker , who must constantly monitor and adjust the ice and air temperatures as well as air humidity levels to ensure a consistent playing surface . It is common for each sheet of ice to have multiple sensors embedded in order to monitor surface temperature , as well as probes set up in the seating area ( to monitor humidity ) and in the compressor room ( to monitor brine supply and return temperatures ) . The surface of the ice is maintained at a temperature of around 23 ° F ( − 5 ° C ) . A key part of the preparation of the playing surface is the spraying of water droplets onto the ice , which form pebble on freezing . The pebbled ice surface resembles an orange peel , and the stone moves on top of the pebbled ice . As the stone moves over the pebble , any rotation of the stone causes it to curl to the inside or outside . The amount of curl ( commonly referred to as the feet of curl ) can change during a game as the pebble wears ; the ice maker must monitor this and be prepared to scrape and re-pebble the surface prior to each game .

The only part of the stone in contact with the ice is the running surface , a narrow , flat annulus or ring , 0.25 to 0.50 inches ( 6.4 to 12.7 mm ) wide and about 5 inches ( 130 mm ) in diameter ; the sides of the stone bulge convex down to the ring and the inside of the ring is hollowed concave to clear the ice . This concave bottom was first proposed by J.S. Russell of Toronto , Ontario , Canada sometime after 1870 , and was subsequently adopted by Scottish stone manufacturer Andrew Kay . The curling stone or rock is made of granite An old - style curling stone The granite for the stones comes from two sources : Ailsa Craig , an island off the Ayrshire coast of Scotland , and the Trefor Granite Quarry in Wales . Ailsa Craig is the traditional source and produces two types of granite , Blue Hone and Ailsa Craig Common Green . Blue Hone has very low water absorption , which prevents the action of repeatedly freezing water from eroding the stone . Ailsa Craig Common Green is a lesser quality granite than Blue Hone . In the past , most curling stones were made from Blue Hone but the island is now a wildlife reserve and the quarry is restricted by environmental conditions that exclude blasting . Kays of Scotland has been making curling stones in Mauchline , Ayrshire , since 1851 and has the exclusive rights to the Ailsa Craig granite , granted by the Marquess of Ailsa , whose family has owned the island since 1560 . According to the 1881 Census , Andrew Kay employed 30 people in his curling stone factory in Mauchline . The last harvest of Ailsa Craig granite by Kays took place in 2013 , after a hiatus of 11 years ; 2,000 tons were harvested , sufficient to fill anticipated orders through at least 2020 . Kays have been involved in providing curling stones for the Winter Olympics since Chamonix in 1924 and has been the exclusive manufacturer of curling stones for the Olympics since the 2006 Winter Olympics . Trefor granite comes from the Yr Eifl or Trefor Granite Quarry in the village of Trefor on the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd , Wales and has produced granite since 1850 . Trefor granite comes in shades of pink , blue and grey . The quarry supplies curling stone granite exclusively to the Canadian , Canada Curling Stone Co. , which has been producing stones since 1992 and supplied the stones for the 2002 Winter Olympics . A handle is attached by a bolt running vertically through a hole in the centre of the stone . The handle allows the stone to be gripped and rotated upon release ; on properly prepared ice the rotation will bend ( curl ) the path of the stone in the direction in which the front edge of the stone is turning , especially as the stone slows . Handles are coloured to identify each team , two popular colours in major tournaments being red and yellow . In competition , an electronic handle known as the eye on the hog may be fitted to detect hog line violations . This electronically detects whether the thrower 's hand is in contact with the handle as it passes the hog line and indicates a violation by lights at the base of the handle . The eye on the hog eliminates human error and the need for hog line officials . It is mandatory in high - level national and international competition , but its cost , around US $ 650 each , currently puts it beyond the reach of most club curling .

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( August 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Curling broom The curling broom , or brush , is used to sweep the ice surface in the path of the stone ( see sweeping ) and is also often used as a balancing aid during delivery of the stone . Prior to the 1950s , most curling brooms were made of corn strands and were similar to household brooms of the day . In 1958 , Fern Marchessault of Montreal inverted the corn straw in the centre of the broom . This style of corn broom was referred to as the Blackjack . Artificial brooms made from man - made fabrics rather than corn , such as the Rink Rat , also became common later during this time period . Prior to the late sixties , Scottish curling brushes were used primarily by some of the Scots , as well as by recreational and elderly curlers , as a substitute for corn brooms , since the technique was easier to learn . In the late sixties , competitive curlers from Calgary , Alberta , such as John Mayer , Bruce Stewart , and , later , the world junior championship teams skipped by Paul Gowsell , proved that the curling brush could be just as ( or more ) effective without all the blisters common to corn broom use . During that time period , there was much debate in competitive curling circles as to which sweeping device was more effective : brush or broom . Eventually , the brush won out with the majority of curlers making the switch to the less costly and more efficient brush . Today , brushes have replaced traditional corn brooms at every level of curling ; it is rare now to see a curler using a corn broom on a regular basis . Curling brushes may have fabric , hog hair , or horsehair heads . Modern curling brush handles are usually hollow tubes made of fibreglass or carbon fibre instead of a solid length of wooden dowel . These hollow tube handles are lighter and stronger than wooden handles , allowing faster sweeping and also enabling more downward force to be applied to the broom head with reduced shaft flex . New , `` directional fabric '' brooms , which players are worried will alter the fundamentals of the sport by reducing the level of skill required , have been accused of giving players an unfair advantage . The new brooms were temporarily banned by the World Curling Federation and Curling Canada for the 2015 -- 2016 season . The new brooms give sweepers unprecedented control over the direction the stone goes . Shoes ( 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 . ( August 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Curling shoes , showing a slider sole Curling shoes are similar to ordinary athletic shoes except that they have dissimilar soles ; the slider shoe ( usually known as a `` slider '' ) is designed for the sliding foot and the `` gripper shoe '' ( usually known as a gripper ) for the hack foot . The slider is designed to slide and typically has a Teflon sole . It is worn by the thrower during delivery from the hack and by sweepers or the skip to glide down the ice when sweeping or otherwise traveling down the sheet quickly . Stainless steel was once common for slider soles , and `` red brick '' sliders with lateral blocks of PVC on the sole are also available . Most shoes have a full - sole sliding surface , but some shoes have a sliding surface covering only the outline of the shoe and other enhancements with the full - sole slider . Some shoes have small disc sliders covering the front and heel portions or only the front portion of the foot , which allow more flexibility in the sliding foot for curlers playing with tuck deliveries . When a player is not throwing , the player 's slider shoe can be temporarily rendered non-slippery by using a slip - on gripper . Ordinary athletic shoes may be converted to sliders by using a step - on or slip - on Teflon slider or by applying electrical or gaffer tape directly to the sole or over a piece of cardboard . This arrangement often suits casual or beginning players . The gripper is worn by the thrower on the hack foot during delivery and is designed to grip the ice . It may have a normal athletic shoe sole or a special layer of rubbery material applied to the sole of a thickness to match the sliding shoe . The toe of the hack foot shoe may also have a rubberised coating on the top surface or a flap that hangs over the toe to reduce wear on the top of the shoe as it drags on the ice behind the thrower . Other equipment ( edit ) Other types of equipment include : Curling pants , made to be stretchy to accommodate the curling delivery . A stopwatch to time the stones over a fixed distance to calculate their speed . Stopwatches can be attached either to clothing or the broom . Curling gloves and mittens , to keep the hands warm and improve grip on the broom . Gameplay ( edit ) At the 2006 Winter Olympics , Mark Nichols from Team Canada delivers a stone while his teammates look on , ready to begin sweeping . The curler uses his broom to help keep his balance during delivery . The purpose of a game is to score points by getting stones closer to the house centre , or the `` button '' , than the other team 's stones . Players from either team alternate in taking shots from the far side of the sheet . An end is complete when all eight rocks from each team have been delivered , a total of sixteen stones . If the teams are tied at the end of the game , play continues for as many ends as may be required to break the tie . The winner is the team with the highest score after all ends have been completed ( see Scoring below ) . A game may be conceded if considered unwinnable . International competitive games are generally ten ends , so most of the national championships that send a representative to the World Championships or Olympics also play ten ends . However , there is a movement on the World Curling Tour to make the games only eight ends . Most tournaments on that tour are eight ends , as are the vast majority of recreational games . In international competition , each side is given 73 minutes to complete all of its throws . Each team is also allowed two minute - long timeouts per 10 - end game . If extra ends are required , each team is allowed 10 minutes of playing time to complete its throws and one added 60 - second timeout for each extra end . However , the `` thinking time '' system , in which the delivering team 's game timer stops as soon as the shooter 's rock crosses the t - line during the delivery , is becoming more popular , especially in Canada . This system allows each team 38 minutes per 10 ends , or 30 minutes per 8 ends , to make strategic and tactical decisions , with 4 minutes and 30 seconds an end for extra ends . The `` thinking time '' system was implemented after it was recognized that teams playing aggressively ( using draws and other low - weight shots which take more time for the stones to come to rest ) were essentially being penalized in terms of the time they had available compared to teams which primarily use hits which require far less time per shot . Delivery ( 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 . ( February 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The process of sliding a stone down the sheet is known as the delivery . The skip , or the captain of the team , will usually determine the required weight , turn , and line of the stone . These will be influenced by the tactics at this point in the game , which may involve taking out , blocking or tapping another stone . The weight of the stone is its velocity , which depends on the leg drive of the delivery rather than the arm . The turn or curl is the rotation of the stone , which gives it a curved trajectory . The line is the direction of the throw ignoring the effect of the turn . The skip may communicate the weight , turn , line , and other tactics by calling or tapping a broom on the ice . In the case of a takeout , guard , or a tap , the skip will indicate the stones involved . Before delivery , the running surface of the stone is wiped clean and the path across the ice swept with the broom if necessary , because any dirt on the bottom of a stone or in its path can alter the trajectory and ruin the shot . Intrusion by a foreign object is called a pick - up or pick . Players must push out of the hack to deliver their stones . 95 % of hacks in use around the world are Marco Hacks , which were invented in the 1980s by Marco Ferraro . Outdoor curling on Stormont Loch . The stone is delivered from an iron crampit rather than the hack used indoors The thrower throws from the hack . Another player , usually the skip , is stationed behind the button to determine the tactics , weight , turn , and line , and the other two may sweep in front of the stone to influence the trajectory ( see Sweeping , below ) . The players , with the exception of the skip , take turns throwing and sweeping ; when one player ( e.g. , the lead ) throws , the players not throwing ( the second and third ) sweep . When the skip throws , the third , or vice-skip , takes his role . The thrower 's gripper shoe ( with the non-slippery sole ) is positioned against one of the hacks ; for a right - handed curler the right foot is placed against the left hack and vice versa for a left - hander . The thrower , now in the hack , lines the body up with shoulders square to the skip 's broom at the far end for line . The stone is placed in front of the foot now in the hack . Rising slightly from the hack , the thrower pulls the stone back ( some older curlers may actually raise the stone in this backward movement ) then lunges smoothly out from the hack pushing the stone ahead while the slider foot is moved in front of the gripper foot , which trails behind . The thrust from this lunge determines the weight and hence the distance the stone will travel . While not compulsory , most curlers deliver the stone while sliding out from the hack . Balance may be assisted by a broom held in the free hand with the back of the broom down so that it slides . One older writer suggests the player keep `` a basilisk glance '' at the mark . There are two current types of delivery , the common flat - foot deliver as well as the Manitoba tuck delivery where the curler slides on the front ball of his foot . The stone is released as the thrower approaches the hog line , at which point the turn is imparted by a slight clockwise or counter-clockwise twist of the handle from around the two or ten o'clock position to the twelve o'clock on release . A typical rate of turn is about ​ 2 ⁄ rotations before coming to a rest . The stone must be released before its front edge crosses the near hog line , and it must clear the far hog line or else be removed from play ( hogged ) ; an exception is made if a stone fails to come to rest beyond the far hog line after rebounding from a stone in play just past the hog line . The release rule is rarely enforced in club play unless abuse is suspected . However , in major tournaments it is strictly enforced ; the `` eye on the hog '' sensor in the stone will indicate whether the stone has been legally thrown or not . The lights on the stone handle will either light up green , indicating that the stone has been legally thrown , or red , in which case the illegally thrown stone will be immediately pulled from play instead of waiting for the stone to come to rest . Sweeping ( 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 . ( April 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The skip of Team Sweden joins the front end in sweeping a stone into the house at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver After the stone is delivered , its trajectory is still influenced by the two sweepers under instruction from the skip . Sweeping is done for several reasons : to reduce friction underneath the stone , to decrease the amount of curl , and to clean debris from the stone 's path . The stones curl more as they slow down , so sweeping early in travel tends to increase distance as well as straighten the path , and sweeping after sideways motion is established can increase the sideways distance . When sweeping , pressure and speed of the brush head are key in slightly increasing the layer of moisture that builds up under the stone . One of the basic technical aspects of curling is knowing when to sweep . When the ice in front of the stone is swept , a stone will usually travel both farther and straighter . In some situations , one of the two alterations in path is not desirable . For example , a stone may have too much weight , but require sweeping to prevent curling into a guard . The team must decide which is better : getting by the guard but traveling too far , or hitting the guard . Much of the yelling that goes on during a curling game is the skip calling the line of the shot and the sweepers calling the weight . The skip evaluates the path of the stone and calls to the sweepers to sweep as necessary to maintain the intended track . The sweepers themselves are responsible for judging the weight of the stone , ensuring the length of travel is correct and communicating the weight of the stone back to the skip . Some teams use stopwatch timing , from back line to the nearest hog line as a sweeping aid . Many teams use the Number System to communicate in which of 10 playable zones it is estimated the stone will stop . Usually , the two sweepers will be on opposite sides of the stone 's path , although depending on which side the sweepers ' strengths lie this may not always be the case . Speed and pressure are vital to sweeping . In gripping the broom , one hand should be one third of the way from the top ( non-brush end ) of the handle while the other hand should be one third of the way from the head of the broom . The angle of the broom to the ice should be so that the most force possible can be exerted on the ice . The precise amount of pressure may vary from relatively light brushing ( `` just cleaning '' - to ensure debris will not alter the stone 's path ) to maximum - pressure scrubbing . Sweeping is allowed anywhere on the ice up to the tee line , as long as it is only for one 's own team stones . Once the leading edge of a team stone crosses the tee line only one player may sweep it . Additionally , when a stone crosses the tee line , one player from the other team is allowed to sweep it . This is the only case that a stone may be swept by an opposing team member . In international rules , this player must be the skip ; or if the skip is throwing , then the sweeping player must be the third . Burning a stone ( edit ) Occasionally , players may accidentally touch a stone with their broom or a body part . This is often referred to as burning a stone . Players touching a stone in such a manner are expected to call their own infraction as a matter of good sportsmanship . Touching a stationary stone when no stones are in motion ( there is no delivery in progress ) is not an infraction ( unless the stationary stone is struck in such a manner that its position is altered ) , and is a common way for the skip to indicate a stone that is to be taken out . When a stone is touched when stones are in play , the remedies vary between placing the stones as they end up after the touch , replacing the stones as they would have been if no stone were touched , or removal of the touched stone from play . In non-officiated league play , the skip of the non-offending team has the final say on where the stones are placed after the infraction . Types of shots ( edit ) Two ways to get the end with the last stone , playing a draw Many different types of shots are used to carefully place stones for strategic or tactical reasons ; they fall into three fundamental categories as follows : Guards are thrown in front of the house in the free guard zone , usually to protect the shot - rock ( the stone closest to the button at the time ) or to make the opposing team 's shot difficult . Guard shots include the centre - guard , on the centreline and the corner - guards to the left or right sides of the centre line . See Free Guard Zone below . Draws are thrown only to reach the house . Draw shots include raise and angle - raise , come - around , and freeze shots . Takeouts are intended to remove stones from play and include the peel , hit - and - roll and double shots . For a more complete listing , see Glossary of curling terms . Free guard zone ( 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 . ( February 2018 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Until four stones have been played ( two from each side ) , stones in the free guard zone ( those stones left in the area between the hog and tee lines , excluding the house ) may not be removed by an opponent 's stone ( although they can be moved as long as they are not taken out of play ) . These are known as guard rocks . If the guard rocks are removed , they are placed back in the positions they were before the shot was thrown , and the opponent 's stone is removed from play and can not be replayed . This rule is known as the four - rock rule or the free guard zone rule ( for a while in Canada , a `` three - rock rule '' was in place , but that rule has been replaced by the four - rock rule ) . This rule , a relatively recent addition to curling , was added in response to a strategy of `` peeling '' opponents ' guard stones ( knocking them out of play at an angle that caused the shooter 's stone to also roll out of play , leaving no stones on the ice ) . A team in the lead would often employ this strategy during the game . By knocking all stones out , the opponents could at best score one point ( if they had the hammer ) . Alternatively , the team with the hammer could peel rock after rock , which would blank the end , keeping the last rock advantage for another end . This strategy had developed ( mostly in Canada ) as ice - makers had become skilled at creating a predictable ice surface and the adoption of brushes allowed greater control over the rock . While a sound strategy , this made for an unexciting game . Observers at the time noted that if two teams equally skilled in the peel game faced each other on good ice , the outcome of the game would be predictable from who won the coin flip to have last rock ( or had earned it in the schedule ) at the beginning of the game . The 1990 Brier was considered by many curling fans as boring to watch because of the amount of peeling and the quick adoption of the Free Guard Zone the following year reflected how disliked this aspect of the game had become . The free guard zone was originally called the Modified Moncton Rule and was developed from a suggestion made by Russ Howard for the Moncton 100 cashspiel ( with the richest prize ever awarded at the time in a tournament ) in Moncton , New Brunswick , in January 1990 . `` Howard 's Rule '' ( later known as the Moncton Rule ) , used for the tournament and based on a practice drill his team used , had the first four rocks in play unable to be removed no matter where they were at any time during the end . This method of play was altered by restricting the area in which a stone was protected to the free guard zone only for the first four rocks thrown and adopted as a Four - rock Free Guard Zone for international competition shortly after . Canada kept to the traditional rules until a three - rock Free Guard Zone rule was adopted for the 1993 -- 94 season . After several years of having the three - rock rule used for the Canadian championships and the winners then having to adjust to the four - rock rule in the World Championships , the Canadian Curling Association adopted the now - standard Free Guard Zone in the 2002 -- 2003 season . One strategy that has been developed by curlers in response to the Free Guard Zone ( Kevin Martin from Alberta is one of the best examples ) is the `` tick '' game , where a shot is made attempting to knock ( tick ) the guard to the side , far enough that it is difficult or impossible to use but still remaining in play while the shot itself goes out of play . The effect is functionally identical to peeling the guard but significantly harder , as a shot that hits the guard too hard ( knocking it out of play ) results in its being replaced , while not hitting it hard enough can result in its still being tactically useful for the opposition . There is also a greater chance that the shot will miss the guard entirely because of the greater accuracy required to make the shot . Because of the difficulty of making this type of shot , only the best teams will normally attempt it , and it does not dominate the game the way the peel formerly did . Steve Gould from Manitoba popularized ticks played across the face . These are easier to make because they impart less speed on the object stone , therefore increasing the chance that it remains in play even if a bigger chunk of it is hit . Hammer ( edit ) Last - rock or last - stone advantage in an end is called the hammer . Before the game , teams typically decide who gets the hammer in the first end either by chance ( such as a coin toss ) , by a `` draw - to - the - button '' contest , where a representative of each team shoots to see who gets closer to the centre of the rings , or , particularly in tournament settings like the Winter Olympics , by a comparison of each team 's win - loss record . In all subsequent ends , the hammer belongs to the team that did not score in the preceding end . In the event that neither team scores , the hammer remains with the same team . Naturally , it is easier to score points with the hammer than without ; in tournament play , the team with the hammer generally tries to score two or more points . If only one point is possible , the skip will often try to avoid scoring at all in order to retain the hammer until the next end , when two or more points may lie . This is called a blank end . Scoring without the hammer is commonly referred to as stealing , or a steal , and is much more difficult . Strategy ( edit ) Diagram of the play area in curling , showing the four - foot zone , corner guard , and centre line guard Curling is a game of strategy , tactics and skill . The strategy depends on the team 's skill , the opponent 's skill , the conditions of the ice , the score of the game , how many ends remain and whether the team has last - stone advantage ( the hammer ) . A team may play an end aggressively or defensively . Aggressive playing will put a lot of stones in play by throwing mostly draws ; this makes for an exciting game and is very risky but the reward can be very great . Defensive playing will throw a lot of hits preventing a lot of stones in play ; this tends to be less exciting and less risky . A good drawing team will usually opt to play aggressively , while a good hitting team will opt to play defensively . If a team does not have the hammer in an end , it will opt to try to clog up the four - foot zone in the house to deny the opposing team access to the button . This can be done by throwing `` centre line '' guards in front of the house on the centre line , which can be tapped into the house later or drawn around . If a team has the hammer , they will try to keep this four - foot zone free so that they have access to the button area at all times . A team with the hammer may throw a corner guard as their first stone of an end placed in front of the house but outside the four - foot zone to utilize the free guard zone . Corner guards are key for a team to score two points in an end , because they can either draw around it later or hit and roll behind it , making the opposing team 's shot to remove it more difficult . Ideally , the strategy in an end for a team with the hammer is to score two points or more . Scoring one point is often a wasted opportunity , as they will then lose last - rock advantage for the next end . If a team can not score two points , they will often attempt to `` blank an end '' by removing any leftover opposition rocks and rolling out ; or , if there are no opposition rocks , just throwing the rock through the house so that no team scores any points , and the team with the hammer can try again the next end to score two or more with it . Generally , a team without the hammer would want to either force the team with the hammer to only one point ( so that they can get the hammer back ) or `` steal '' the end by scoring one or more points of their own . Generally , the larger the lead a team will have in a game , the more defensively they should play . By hitting all of the opponent 's stones , it removes opportunities for their getting multiple points , therefore defending the lead . If the leading team is quite comfortable , leaving their own stones in play can also be dangerous . Guards can be drawn around by the other team , and stones in the house can be tapped back ( if they are in front of the tee line ) or frozen onto ( if they are behind the tee line ) . A frozen stone is difficult to remove , because it is `` frozen '' ( in front of and touching ) to the opponents stone . At this point , a team will opt for `` peels '' , meaning that the stones they throw will be to not only hit their opposition stones , but to roll out of play as well . Peels are hits that are thrown with the most amount of power . Conceding a game ( edit ) It is not uncommon at any level for a losing team to terminate the match before all ends are completed if it believes it no longer has a realistic chance of winning . Competitive games end once the losing team has `` run out of rocks '' -- that is , once it has fewer stones in play and available for play than the number of points needed to tie the game . Dispute resolution ( edit ) Measuring which stone is closest to the centre of the house Most decisions about rules are left to the skips , although in official tournaments , decisions may be left to the officials . However , all scoring disputes are handled by the vice skip . No players other than the vice skip from each team should be in the house while score is being determined . In tournament play , the most frequent circumstance in which a decision has to be made by someone other than the vice skip is the failure of the vice skips to agree on which stone is closest to the button . An independent official ( supervisor at Canadian and World championships ) then measures the distances using a specially designed device that pivots at the centre of the button . When no independent officials are available , the vice skips measure the distances . Scoring ( edit ) A typical curling scoreboard used at clubs , which use a method of scoring different from the ones used on television The winner is the team having the highest number of accumulated points at the completion of ten ends . Points are scored at the conclusion of each of these ends as follows : when each team has thrown its eight stones , the team with the stone closest to the button wins that end ; the winning team is then awarded one point for each of its own stones lying closer to the button than the opponent 's closest stone . Only stones that are in the house are considered in the scoring . A stone is in the house if it lies within the 12 - foot ( 3.7 m ) zone or any portion of its edge lies over the edge of the ring . Since the bottom of the stone is rounded , a stone just barely in the house will not have any actual contact with the ring , which will pass under the rounded edge of the stone , but it still counts . This type of stone is known as a biter . It may not be obvious to the eye which of two rocks is closer to the button ( centre ) or if a rock is actually biting or not . There are specialized devices to make these determinations , but these can not be brought out until after an end is completed . Therefore , a team may make strategic decisions during an end based on assumptions of rock position that turn out to be incorrect . The score is marked on a scoreboard , of which there are two types ; the baseball type and the club scoreboard . The baseball - style scoreboard was created for televised games for audiences not familiar with the club scoreboard . The ends are marked by columns 1 through 10 ( or 11 for the possibility of an extra end to break ties ) plus an additional column for the total . Below this are two rows , one for each team , containing the team 's score for that end and their total score in the right hand column . The club scoreboard is traditional and used in most curling clubs . Scoring on this board only requires the use of ( up to ) 11 digit cards , whereas with baseball - type scoring an unknown number of multiples of the digits ( especially low digits like 1 ) may be needed . The numbered centre row represents all possible accumulated scores , and the numbers placed in the team rows represent the end in which that team achieved that cumulative score . If the red team scores three points in the first end ( called a three - ender ) , then a 1 ( indicating the first end ) is placed beside the number 3 in the red row . If they score two more in the second end , then a 2 will be placed beside the 5 in the red row , indicating that the red team has five points in total ( 3 + 2 ) . This scoreboard works because only one team can get points in an end . However , some confusion may arise if neither team scores points in an end , this is called a blank end . The blank end numbers are usually listed in the farthest column on the right in the row of the team that has the hammer ( last rock advantage ) , or on a special spot for blank ends . The following example illustrates the difference between the two types . The example illustrates the men 's final at the 2006 Winter Olympics . Baseball - style scoreboard Team 5 6 7 8 9 10 Final Canada 0 0 6 0 0 x x 10 Finland 0 0 0 0 0 x x Curling club - style scoreboard Canada 6 Points 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Blank ends Finland 5 8 7 Eight points -- all the rocks thrown by one team counting -- is the highest score possible in an end , and is known as an `` eight - ender '' or `` snowman '' . Scoring an eight - ender against a relatively competent team is very difficult ; in curling , it is considered the equivalent of pitching a perfect game in baseball . Probably the best - known snowman came at the 2006 Players ' Championships . Future ( 2007 ) World Champion Kelly Scott scored eight points in one of her games against 1998 World bronze medalist Cathy King . Curling culture ( edit ) The Curlers ( 1835 ) by Sir George Harvey Curling ; -- a Scottish Game , at Central Park ( 1862 ) by John George Brown Curling at Carsebreck ( 1899 ) by Charles Martin Hardie Competition teams are normally named after the skip , for example , Team Martin after skip Kevin Martin . Amateur league players can ( and do ) creatively name their teams , but when in competition ( a bonspiel ) the official team will have a standard name . Top curling championships are typically played by all - male or all - female teams . It is known as mixed curling when a team consists of two men and two women . For many years , in the absence of world championship or Olympic mixed curling events , national championships ( of which the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship was the most prominent ) were the highest - level mixed curling competitions . However , a European Mixed Curling Championship was inaugurated in 2005 , a World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship was established in 2008 , and the European Mixed Championship was replaced with the World Mixed Curling Championship in 2015 . A mixed tournament was held at the Olympic level for the first time in 2018 , although it was a doubles tournament , not a four - person . Curling tournaments may use the Schenkel system for determining the participants in matches . Curling is played in many countries , including Canada , the United Kingdom ( especially Scotland ) , the United States , Norway , Sweden , Switzerland , Denmark , Finland and Japan , all of which compete in the world championships . Curling has been depicted by many artists including : George Harvey , John Levack , The Dutch School , Charles Martin Hardie , John Elliot Maguire , John McGhie , and John George Brown . Curling is particularly popular in Canada . Improvements in ice making and changes in the rules to increase scoring and promote complex strategy have increased the already high popularity of the sport in Canada , and large television audiences watch annual curling telecasts , especially the Scotties Tournament of Hearts ( the national championship for women ) , the Tim Hortons Brier ( the national championship for men ) , and the women 's and men 's world championships . Despite the Canadian province of Manitoba 's small population ( ranked 5th of 10 Canadian provinces ) , Manitoban teams have won the Brier more times than teams from any other province . The Tournament of Hearts and the Brier are contested by provincial and territorial champions , and the world championships by national champions . Curling is the provincial sport of Saskatchewan . From there Ernie Richardson and his family team dominated Canadian and international curling during the late 1950s and early 1960s and have been considered to be the best male curlers of all time . Sandra Schmirler led her team to the first ever gold medal in women 's curling in the 1998 Winter Olympics . When she died two years later from cancer , over 15,000 people attended her funeral , and it was broadcast on national television . Good sportsmanship ( edit ) More so than in many other team sports , good sportsmanship , often referred to as the `` Spirit of Curling '' , is an integral part of curling . In the United States there was even a theology of curling . The Spirit of Curling also leads teams to congratulate their opponents for making a good shot , strong sweeping or spectacular form . Perhaps most importantly , the Spirit of Curling dictates that one never cheers mistakes , misses or gaffes by one 's opponent ( unlike most team sports ) and one should not celebrate one 's own good shots during the game beyond modest acknowledgement of the shot such as a head nod , fist bump or thumbs - up gesture . Modest congratulation , however , may be exchanged between winning team members after the match . On - the - ice celebration is usually reserved for the winners of a major tournament after winning the final game of the championship . It is completely unacceptable to attempt to throw opposing players off their game by way of negative comment , distraction or heckling . A match traditionally begins with players shaking hands with and saying `` good curling '' or `` have a pleasant game '' to each member of the opposing team . It is also traditional in some areas for the winning team to buy the losing team a drink after the game . Even at the highest levels of play , players are expected to call their own fouls . It is not uncommon for a team to concede a curling match after it believes it no longer has any hope of winning . Concession is an honourable act and does not carry the stigma associated with quitting , and also allows for more socializing . To concede a match , members of the losing team offer congratulatory handshakes to the winning team . Thanks , wishes of future good luck and hugs are usually exchanged between the teams . To continue playing when a team has no realistic chance of winning can be seen as a breach of etiquette . Accessibility in curling ( edit ) Main article : Wheelchair curling Team China at WWHCC 2009 Curling has been adapted for wheelchair users and people otherwise unable to throw the stone from the hack . These curlers may use a device known as a `` delivery stick '' . The cue holds on to the handle of the stone and is then pushed along by the curler . At the end of delivery , the curler pulls back on the cue , which releases it from the stone . The Canadian Curling Association Rules of Curling allows the use of a delivery stick in club play but does not permit it in championships . The delivery stick was specifically invented for elderly curlers in Canada in 1999 . In early 2016 an international initiative started to allow use of the delivery sticks by players over 60 years of age in World Curling Federation Senior Championships , as well as in any projected Masters ( 60 + ) Championship that develops in the future . Terminology ( edit ) For an extensive glossary of terminology , see Glossary of curling . Terms used to describe the game include : The ice in the game may be fast ( keen ) or slow . If the ice is keen , a rock will travel farther with a given amount of weight ( throwing force ) on it . The speed of the ice is measured in seconds . One such measure , known as `` hog - to - hog '' time , is the speed of the stone and is the time in seconds the rock takes from the moment it crosses the near hog line till it crosses the far hog line . If this number is lower , the rock is moving faster , so again low numbers mean more speed . The ice in a match will be somewhat consistent and thus this measure of speed can also be used to measure how far down the ice the rock will travel . Once it is determined that a rock taking ( for example ) 13 seconds to go from hog line to hog line will stop on the tee line , the curler can know that if the hog - to - hog time is matched by a future stone , that stone will likely stop at approximately the same location . As an example , on keen ice , common times might be 16 seconds for guards , 14 seconds for draws , and 8 seconds for peel weight . The back line to hog line speed is used principally by sweepers to get an initial sense of the weight of a stone . As an example , on keen ice , common times might be 4.0 seconds for guards , 3.8 seconds for draws , 3.2 for normal hit weight , and 2.9 seconds for peel weight . Especially at the club level , this metric can be misleading , due to amateurs sometimes pushing stones on release , causing the stone to travel faster than the back - to - hog speed .

what olympic sport is also known as ice chess
[ "The curler can induce a curved path by causing the stone to slowly turn as it slides, and the path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms who accompany it as it slides down the sheet, using the brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone. Sweeping a rock makes it curl less, and decreases the friction that slows the rock down. A great deal of strategy and teamwork go into choosing the ideal path and placement of a stone for each situation, and the skills of the curlers determine the degree to which the stone will achieve the desired result. This gives curling its nickname of \"chess on ice\".[3][4]" ]

Chicago Pride Parade
Chicago Pride parade - wikipedia Chicago Pride parade Annual LGBT event in Chicago Play media `` Video coverage of the 2007 Chicago Gay Pride Parade . '' The Chicago Pride Parade 2006 , on Halsted Street at Brompton Avenue . Rainbow flags decorate Lake View East in anticipation of the Chicago Pride Parade . A Human Rights Campaign float moves past spectators . The Chicago Pride Parade , also colloquially ( and formerly ) called the Chicago Gay Pride Parade or PRIDE Chicago , is the annual pride parade held on the last Sunday of June in Chicago , Illinois in the United States . It is considered the culmination of the larger Gay and Lesbian Pride Month , as promulgated by the Chicago City Council and Mayor of Chicago . Chicago 's Pride Parade is one of the largest , by attendance , in the world . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Annual parade details 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Background ( edit ) Chicago Gay Pride Parade 2018 The first parade was organized on Saturday , June 27 , 1970 , as a march from Washington Square Park ( `` Bughouse Square '' ) to the Water Tower , but then many of the participants spontaneously marched on to the Civic Center ( now Richard J. Daley ) Plaza . For many years , the parade was held only in Lake View East , a neighborhood enclave of the Lakeview community area . Recent parades have expanded their outreach ( and ability to handle crowds ) by extending the route into the Uptown neighborhood , beginning at the corner of Broadway and Montrose . The parade then proceeds south on Broadway to Halsted , continues south on Halsted to Belmont , then east on Belmont to Broadway and finally south again on Broadway to Cannon Drive and Lincoln Park . With the increasing political participation of gay , lesbian , bisexual and transgender Americans and the community 's relatively high financial resources through political action groups and as individual donors , Illinois politicians have increased their presence at the Chicago Pride Parade . Both the Illinois Democratic and Republican parties have been heavily represented , most noticeably by former Governor Rod Blagojevich , a Democrat , and former Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka , a Republican . Both had strong support from many gay and lesbian voters . On June 28 , 2009 more than 500,000 spectators watched the 40th annual Chicago Pride Parade . Among the entries were several marching bands , dance troupes , twirlers , and many political figures . The 2010 parade featured an appearance from the Chicago Blackhawks ' Brent Sopel and The Stanley Cup as part of the Chicago Gay Hockey Association 's float . Sopel appeared in the parade to honor Brendan Burke , the gay son of the Maple Leafs ' GM Brian Burke . The 2011 parade included 250 entries and was attended by over 800,000 spectators , almost double the previous year , causing massive overcrowding and resulted in a reorganization of the parade route for the 2012 parade .

List of solar eclipses in the 21st century
List of Solar Eclipses in the 21st century - wikipedia List of Solar Eclipses in the 21st century Jump to : navigation , search Lists of solar eclipses Geometry of a total solar eclipse ( not to scale ) Centuries BC ( show ) 20th 19th 18th 17th 16th 15th 14th 13th 12th 11th 10th 9th 8th 7th 6th 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st AD 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th 21st 22nd 23rd 24th 25th 26th 27th 28th 29th 30th Eclipses seen from Australia China Philippines Russia Ukraine United Kingdom United States See also Lists of lunar eclipses Total solar eclipse of July 22 , 2009 , from Bangladesh . During the 21st century , there will be 224 solar eclipses of which 77 will be partial , 72 will be annular , 68 will be total and 7 will be hybrids between total and annular eclipses . Of these , two annular and one total eclipse will be non-central , in the sense that the very center ( axis ) of the moon 's shadow will miss the earth ( for more information see gamma ) . In the 21st century the greatest number of eclipses in one year is four , in 2011 , 2029 , 2047 , 2065 , 2076 , and 2094 . The predictions given here are by Fred Espenak of NASA 's Goddard Space Flight Center . At this point , the longest duration in which the moon completely covered the sun , known as totality , was during the solar eclipse of July 22 , 2009 . This total solar eclipse had a maximum duration of 6 minutes and 39 seconds . The longest possible duration of a total solar eclipse is 7 minutes and 32 seconds . The longest annular solar eclipse of the 21st century took place on January 15 , 2010 , with a duration of 11 minutes and 8 seconds . The maximum possible duration is 12 minutes and 29 seconds . The eclipse of May 20 , 2050 , will be the second hybrid eclipse in the span of less than one year , the first one being on November 25 , 2049 . The next solar eclipse ( Partial ) will occur on February 15 , 2018 ; the last solar eclipse ( Total ) occurred on August 21 , 2017 . The table contains the date and time of the greatest eclipse ( in dynamical time , which in this case is the time when the axis of the Moon 's shadow cone passes closest to the centre of Earth ; this is in Universal Time ) . The number of the saros series that the eclipse belongs to is given , followed by the magnitude of the eclipse ( the fraction of the Sun 's diameter obscured by the Moon ) and the type of the eclipse ( either total , annular , partial or hybrid ) . For total and annular eclipses , the duration of the eclipse is given , as well as the location of the greatest eclipse ( the point of maximum eclipse ) and the path width of the total or annular eclipse . The geographical areas from which the eclipse can be seen are listed .

The view is from the top through the superhelical axis . Histone acetylation and deacetylation are the processes by which the lysine residues within the N - terminal tail protruding from the histone core of the nucleosome are acetylated and deacetylated as part of gene regulation . Histone acetylation and deacetylation are essential parts of gene regulation . These reactions are typically catalysed by enzymes with `` histone acetyltransferase '' ( HAT ) or `` histone deacetylase '' ( HDAC ) activity . Acetylation is the process where an acetyl functional group is transferred from one molecule ( in this case , Acetyl - Coenzyme A ) to another . Deacetylation is simply the reverse reaction where an acetyl group is removed from a molecule . Acetylated histones , octameric proteins that organize chromatin into nucleosomes and ultimately higher order structures , represent a type of epigenetic marker within chromatin . Acetylation removes the positive charge on the histones , thereby decreasing the interaction of the N termini of histones with the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA . As a consequence , the condensed chromatin is transformed into a more relaxed structure that is associated with greater levels of gene transcription . This relaxation can be reversed by HDAC activity . Relaxed , transcriptionally active DNA is referred to as euchromatin . More condensed ( tightly packed ) DNA is referred to as heterochromatin . Condensation can be brought about by processes including deacetylation and methylation ; the action of methylation is indirect and has no effect upon charge .

Shown in this illustration , the dynamic state of histone acetylation / deacetylation regulated by HAT and HDAC enzymes . Acetylation of histones alters accessibility of chromatin and allows DNA binding proteins to interact with exposed sites to activate gene transcription and downstream cellular functions . Nucleosomes are portions of double - stranded DNA ( dsDNA ) that are wrapped around protein complexes called histone cores . These histone cores are composed of 8 subunits , two each of H2A , H2B , H3 and H4 histones . This protein complex forms a cylindrical shape that dsDNA wraps around with approximately 147 base pairs . Nucleosomes are formed as a beginning step for DNA compaction that also contributes to structural support as well as serves functional roles . These functional roles are contributed by the tails of the histone subunits . The histone tails insert themselves in the minor grooves of the DNA and extend through the double helix , which leaves them open for modifications involved in transcriptional activation . Acetylation has been closely associated with increases in transcriptional activation while deacetylation has been linked with transcriptional deactivation . These reactions occur post-translation and are reversible . The mechanism for acetylation and deacetylation takes place on the NH3+ groups of Lysine amino acid residues . These residues are located on the tails of histones that make up the nucleosome of packaged dsDNA . The process is aided by factors known as Histone Acetyltransferases ( HATs ) . HAT molecules facilitate the transfer of an acetyl group from a molecule of Acetyl Coenzyme - A ( Acetyl - CoA ) to the NH3+ group on Lysine . When a Lysine is deacetylated , factors known as Histone Deacetylases ( HDACs ) catalyze the removal of the acetyl group with a molecule of H2O . Acetylation has the effect of changing the overall charge of the histone tail from positive to neutral . Nucleosome formation is dependent on the positive charges of the H4 histones and the negative charge on the surface of H2A histone fold domains . Acetylation of the histone tails disrupts this association , leading to weaker binding of the nucleosomal components . By doing this , the DNA is more accessible and leads to more transcription factors being able to reach the DNA . Thus , acetylation of histones is known to increase the expression of genes through transcription activation . Deacetylation performed by HDAC molecules has the opposite effect . By deacetylating the histone tails , the DNA becomes more tightly wrapped around the histone cores , making it harder for transcription factors to bind to the DNA . This leads to decreased levels of gene expression and is known as gene silencing . Acetylated histones , the octomeric protein cores of nucleosomes , represent a type of epigenetic marker within chromatin . Studies have shown that one modification has the tendency to influence whether another modification will take place . Modifications of histones can not only cause secondary structural changes at their specific points , but can cause many structural changes in distant locations which inevitably affects function . As the chromosome is replicated , the modifications that exist on the parental chromosomes are handed down to daughter chromosomes . The modifications , as part of their function , can recruit enzymes for their particular function and can contribute to the continuation of modifications and their effects after replication has taken place . It has been shown that , even past one replication , expression of genes may still be affected many cell generations later . A study showed that , upon inhibition of HDAC enzymes by Trichostatin A , genes inserted next to centric heterochromatin showed increased expression . Many cell generations later , in the absence of the inhibitor , the increased gene expression was still expressed , showing modifications can be carried through many replication processes such as mitosis and meiosis . Histone acetylation / deacetylation enzymes ( edit ) Histone acetyltransferase ( HATs ) ( edit ) Histone Acetyltransferases , also known as HATs , are a family of enzymes that acetylate the histone tails of the nucleosome . This , and other modifications , are expressed based on the varying states of the cellular environment . Many proteins with acetylating abilities have been documented and , after a time , were categorized based on sequence similarities between them . These similarities are high among members of a family , but members from different families show very little resemblance . Some of the major families identified so far are as follows . GNAT family ( edit ) General Control Non-Derepressible 5 ( Gcn5 ) -- related N - Acetyltransferases ( GNATs ) is one of the many studied families with acetylation abilities . This superfamily includes the factors Gcn5 which is included in the SAGA , SLIK , STAGA , ADA , and A2 complexes , Gcn5L , p300 / CREB - binding protein associated factor ( PCAF ) , Elp3 , HPA2 and HAT1 . Major features of the GNAT family include HAT domains approximately 160 residues in length and a conserved bromodomain that has been found to be an acetyl - lysine targeting motif . Gcn5 has been shown to acetylate substrates when it is part of a complex . Recombinant Gcn5 has been found to be involved in the acetylation of the H3 histones of the nucleosome . To a lesser extent , it has been found to also acetylate H2B and H4 histones when involved with other complexes . PCAF has the ability to act as a HAT protein and acetylate histones , it can acetylate non-histone proteins related to transcription , as well as act as a coactivator in many processes including myogenesis , nuclear - receptor - mediated activation and growth - factor - signaled activation . Elp3 has the ability to acetylate all histone subunits and also shows involvement in the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme . MYST family ( edit ) MOZ ( Monocytic Leukemia Zinc Finger Protein ) , Ybf2 / Sas3 , Sas2 and Tip60 ( Tat Interacting Protein ) all make up MYST , another well known family that exhibits acetylating capabilities . This family includes Sas3 , essential SAS - related acetyltransferase ( Esa1 ) , Sas2 , Tip60 , MOF , MOZ , MORF , and HBO1 . The members of this family have multiple functions , not only with activating and silencing genes , but also affect development and have implications in human diseases . Sas2 and Sas3 are involved in transcription silencing , MOZ and TIF2 are involved with the formation of leukemic transclocation products while MOF is involved in dosage compensation in Drosophila . HAT domains for this family are approximately 250 residues which include cysteine - rich , zinc binding domains as well as N - terminal chromodomains . The MYST proteins Esa1 , Sas2 and Sas3 are found in yeast , MOF is found in Drosophila while Tip60 , MOZ , MORF , and HBO1 are found in humans . Tip60 has roles in the regulation of gene transcription , HBO has been found to impact the DNA replication process , MORF is able to acetylate free histones ( especially H3 and H4 ) as well as nucleosomal histones . P300 / CBP family ( edit ) Main article : p300 - CBP coactivator family Adenoviral E1A - associated protein of 300kDa ( p300 ) and the CREB - binding protein ( CBP ) make up the next family of HATs . This family of HATs contain HAT domains that are approximately 500 residues long and contain bromodomains as well as three cysteine - histidine rich domains that help with protein interactions . These HATs are known to acetylate all of the histone subunits in the nucleosome . They also have the ability to acetylate and mediate non-histone proteins involved in transcription and are also involved in the cell - cycle , differentiation and apoptosis . Other HATs ( edit ) There are other proteins that have acetylating abilities but differ in structure to the previously mentioned families . One HAT is called steroid receptor coactivator 1 ( SRC1 ) , which has a HAT domain located at the C - terminus end of the protein along with a basic helix - loop - helix and PAS A and PAS B domains with a LXXLL receptor interacting motif in the middle . Another is ATF - 2 which contains a transcriptional activation ( ACT ) domain and a basic zipper DNA - binding ( bZip ) domain with a HAT domain in - between . The last is TAFII250 which has a Kinase domain at the N - terminus region , two bromodomains located at the C - terminus region and a HAT domain located in - between . Histone deacetylase ( HDACs ) ( edit ) There are a total of four classes that categorize Histone Deacetylases ( HDACs ) . Class I includes HDACs 1 , 2 , 3 , and 8 . Class II is divided into two subgroups , Class IIA and Class IIB . Class IIA includes HDACs 4 , 5 , 7 , and 9 while Class IIB includes HDACs 6 and 10 . Class III contains the Sirtuins and Class IV contains only HDAC11 . Classes of HDAC proteins are divided and grouped together based on the comparison to the sequence homologies of Rpd3 , Hos1 and Hos2 for Class I HDACs , HDA1 and Hos3 for the Class II HDACs and the sirtuins for Class III HDACs . Class I HDACs ( edit ) HDAC1 & HDAC2 ( edit ) HDAC1 & HDAC2 are in the first class of HDACs are most closely related to one another . By analyzing the overall sequences of both HDACs , their similarity was found to be approximately 82 % homologous . These enzymes have been found to be inactive when isolated which led to the conclusion that they must be incorporated with cofactors in order to activate their deacetylase abilities . There are three major protein complexes that HDAC 1 & 2 may incorporate themselves into . These complexes include Sin3 ( named after its characteristic protein mSin3A ) , Nucleosome Remodelling and Deacetylating complex ( NuRD ) , and Co-REST . The Sin3 complex and the NuRD complex both contain HDACs 1 and 2 , the Rb - associated protein 48 ( RbAp48 ) and RbAp46 which make up the core of each complex . Other complexes may be needed though in order to initiate the maximum amount of available activity possible . HDACs 1 and 2 can also bind directly to DNA binding proteins such as Yin and Yang 1 ( YY1 ) , Rb binding protein 1 and Sp1 . HDACs 1 and 2 have been found to express regulatory roles in key cell cycle genes including p21 . Activity of these HDACs can be affected by phosphorylation . An increased amount of phosphorylation ( hyperphosphorylation ) leads to increased deacetylase activity , but degrades complex formation between HDACs 1 and 2 and between HDAC1 and mSin3A / YY1 . A lower than normal amount of phosphorylation ( hypophosphorylation ) leads to a decrease in the amount of deacetylase activity , but increases the amount of complex formation . Mutation studies found that major phosphorylation happens at residues Ser and Ser . Indeed , when these residues were mutated , a drastic reduction was seen in the amount of deacetylation activity . This difference in the state of phosphorylation is a way of keeping an optimal level of phosphorylation to ensure there is no over or under expression of deacetylation . HDACs 1 and 2 have been found only exclusively in the nucleus . In HDAC1 knockout ( KO ) mice , mice were found to die during embryogenesis and showed a drastic reduction in the production but increased expression of Cyclin - Dependent Kinase Inhibitors ( CDKIs ) p21 and p27 . Not even upregulation of the other Class I HDACs could compensate for the loss of HDAC1 . This inability to recover from HDAC1 KO leads researchers to believe that there are both functional uniqueness to each HDAC as well as regulatory cross-talk between factors . HDAC3 ( edit ) HDAC3 has been found to be most closely related to HDAC8 . HDAC3 contains a non-conserved region in the C - terminal region that was found to be required for transcriptional repression as well as its deacetylase activity . It also contains two regions , one called a Nuclear Localization Signal ( NLS ) as well as a Nuclear Export Signal ( NES ) . The NLS functions as a signal for nuclear action while an NES functions with HDACs that perform work outside of the nucleus . A presence of both signals for HDAC3 suggests it travels between the nucleus and the ctyoplasm . HDAC3 has even been found to interact with the plasma membrane . Silencing Mediator for Retinoic Acid and Thyroid Hormone ( SMRT ) receptors and Nuclear Receptor Co-Repressor ( N - CoR ) factors must be utilized by HDAC3 in order to activate it . Upon doing so , it gains the ability to co-precipitate with HDACs 4 , 5 , and 7 . HDAC3 can also be found complexed together with HDAC - related protein ( HDRP ) . HDACs 1 and 3 have been found to mediate Rb - RbAp48 interactions which suggests that it functions in cell cycle progression . HDAC3 also shows involvement in stem cell self - renewal and a transcription independent role in mitosis . HDAC8 ( edit ) HDAC8 has been found to be most similar to HDAC3 . Its major feature is its catalytic domain which contains an NLS region in the center . Two transcripts of this HDAC have been found which include a 2.0 kb transcript and a 2.4 kb transcript . Unlike the other HDAC molecules , when purified , this HDAC showed to be enzymatically active . At this point , due to its recent discovery , it is not yet known if it is regulated by co-repressor protein complexes . Northern blots have revealed that different tissue types show varying degrees of HDAC8 expression but has been observed in smooth muscles and is thought to contribute to contractility . Class II HDACs ( edit ) Class IIA ( edit ) The Class IIA HDACs includes HDAC4 , HDAC5 , HDAC7 and HDAC9 . HDACs 4 and 5 have been found to most closely resemble each other while HDAC7 maintains a resemblance to both of them . There have been three discovered variants of HDAC9 including HDAC9a , HDAC9b and HDAC9c / HDRP , while more have been suspected . The variants of HDAC9 have been found to have similarities to the rest of the Class IIA HDACs . For HDAC9 , the splicing variants can be seen as a way of creating a `` fine - tuned mechanism '' for differentiation expression levels in the cell . Different cell types may take advantage and utilize different isoforms of the HDAC9 enzyme allowing for different forms of regulation . HDACs 4 , 5 and 7 have their catalytic domains located in the C - terminus along with an NLS region while HDAC9 has its catalytic domain located in the N - terminus . However , the HDAC9 variant HDAC9c / HDRP lacks a catalytic domain but has a 50 % similarity to the N - terminus of HDACs 4 and 5 . For HDACs 4 , 5 and 7 , conserved binding domains have been discovered that bind for C - terminal binding protein ( CtBP ) , myocyte enhancer factor 2 ( MEF2 ) and 14 - 3 - 3 . All three HDACs work to repress the myogenic transcription factor MEF2 which an essential role in muscle differentiation as a DNA binding transcription factor . Binding of HDACs to MEF2 inhibits muscle differentiation , which can be reversed by action of Ca / calmodulin - dependent kinase ( CaMK ) which works to dissociate the HDAC / MEF2 complex by phosphorylating the HDAC portion . They have been seen to be involved in cellular hypertrophy in muscle control differentiation as well as cellular hypertrophy in muscle and cartilage tissues . HDACs 5 and 7 have been shown to work in opposition to HDAC4 during muscle differentiation regulation so as to keep a proper level of expression . There has been evidence that these HDACs also interact with HDAC3 as a co-recruitment factor to the SMRT / N - CoR factors in the nucleus . Absence of the HDAC3 enzyme has shown to lead to inactivity which makes researchers believe that HDACs 4 , 5 and 7 help the incorporation of DNA - binding recruiters for the HDAC3 - containing HDAC complexes located in the nucleus . When HDAC4 is knocked out in mice , they suffer from a pronounced chondrocyte hypertrophy and die due to extreme ossification . HDAC7 has been shown to suppress Nur77 - dependent apoptosis . This interaction leads to a role in clonal expansion of T cells . HDAC9 KO mice are shown to suffer from cardiac hypertrophy which is exacerbated in mice that are double KO for HDACs 9 and 5 . Class IIB ( edit ) The Class IIB HDACs include HDAC6 and HDAC10 . These two HDACs are most closely related to each other in overall sequence . However , HDAC6 's catalytic domain is most similar to HDAC9 . A unique feature of HDAC6 is that it contains two catalytic domains in tandem of one another . Another unique feature of HDAC6 is the HDAC6 - , SP3 , and Brap2 - related zinc finger motif ( HUB ) domain in the C - terminus which shows some functions related to ubiquitination , meaning this HDAC is prone to degradation . HDAC10 has two catalytic domains as well . One active domain is located in the N - terminus and a putative catalytic domain is located in the C - terminus along with an NES domain . Two putative Rb - binding domains have also been found on HDAC10 which shows it may have roles in the regulation of the cell cycle . Two variants of HDAC10 have been found , both having slight differences in length . HDAC6 is the only HDAC to be shown to act on tubulin , acting as a tubulin deacetylase which helps in the regulation of microtubule - dependent cell motility . It is mostly found in the cytoplasm but has been known to be found in the nucleus , complexed together with HDAC11 . HDAC10 has been seen to act on HDACs 1 , 2 , 3 ( or SMRT ) , 4 , 5 and 7 . Some evidence has been shown that it may have small interactions with HDAC6 as well . This leads researchers to believe that HDAC10 may function more as a recruiter rather than a factor for deacetylation . However , experiments conducted with HDAC10 did indeed show deacetylation activity . Class IV HDACs ( edit ) HDAC11 ( edit ) HDAC11 has been shown to be related to HDACs 3 and 8 , but its overall sequence is quite different from the other HDACs , leading it to be in its own category . HDAC11 has a catalytic domain located in its N - terminus . It has not been found incorporated in any HDAC complexes such as Nurd or SMRT which means it may have a special function unique to itself . It has been found that HDAC11 remains mainly in the nucleus . Biological functions ( edit ) Transcription regulation ( edit ) The discovery of histone acetylation causing changes in transcription activity can be traced back to the work of Vicent Allfrey and colleagues in 1964 . The group hypothesized that histone proteins modified by acetyl groups added negative charges to the positive lysines , and thus , reduced the interaction between DNA and histones . Histone modification is now considered a major regulatory mechanism that is involved in many different stages of genetic functions . Our current understanding is that acetylated lysine residues on histone tails is associated with transcriptional activation . In turn , deacetylated histones are associated with transcriptional repression . In addition , negative correlations have been found between several histone acetylation marks . The regulatory mechanism is thought to be twofold . Lysine is an amino acid with a positive charge when unmodified . Lysines on the amino terminal tails of histones have a tendency to weaken the chromatin 's overall structure . Addition of an acetyl group , which carries a negative charge , effectively removes the positive charge and hence , reduces the interaction between the histone tail and the nucleosome . This opens up the usually tightly packed nucleosome and allows transcription machinery to come into contact with the DNA template , leading to gene transcription . Repression of gene transcription is achieved by the reverse of this mechanism . The acetyl group is removed by one of the HDAC enzymes during deacetylation , allowing histones to interact with DNA more tightly to form compacted nucleosome assembly . This increase in the rigid structure prevents the incorporation of transcriptional machinery , effectively silencing gene transcription . Another implication of histone acetylation is to provide a platform for protein binding . As a posttranslational modification , the acetylation of histones can attract proteins to elongated chromatin that has been marked by acetyl groups . It has been hypothesized that the histone tails offer recognition sites that attract proteins responsible for transcriptional activation . Unlike histone core proteins , histone tails are not part of the nucleosome core and are exposed to protein interaction . A model proposed that the acetylation of H3 histones activates gene transcription by attracting other transcription related complexes . Therefore , the acetyl mark provides a site for protein recognition where transcription factors interact with the acetylated histone tails via their bromodomain . Histone code hypothesis ( edit ) The Histone code hypothesis suggests the idea that patterns of post-translational modifications on histones , collectively , can direct specific cellular functions . Chemical modifications of histone proteins often occur on particular amino acids . This specific addition of single or multiple modifications on histone cores can be interpreted by transcription factors and complexes which leads to functional implications . This process is facilitated by enzymes such as HATs and HDACs that add or remove modifications on histones , and transcription factors that process and `` read '' the modification codes . The outcome can be activation of transcription or repression of a gene . For example , the combination of acetylation and phosphorylation have synergistic effects on the chromosomes overall structural condensation level and , hence , induces transcription activation of immediate early gene . Experiments investigating acetylation patterns of H4 histones suggested that these modification patterns are collectively maintained in mitosis and meiosis in order to modify long - term gene expression . The acetylation pattern is regulated by HAT and HADC enzymes and , in turn , sets the local chromatin structure . In this way , acetylation patterns are transmitted and interconnected with protein binding ability and functions in subsequent cell generation . Bromodomain ( edit ) The bromodomain is a motif that is responsible for acetylated lysine recognition on histones by nucleosome remodelling proteins . Posttranslational modifications of N - and C - terminal histone tails attracts various transcription initiation factors that contain bromodomains , including human transcriptional coactivator PCAF , TAF1 , GCN5 and CREB - binding protein ( CBP ) , to the promoter and have a significance in regulating gene expression . Structural analysis of transcription factors has shown that highly conserved bromodomains are essential for protein to bind to acetylated lysine. This suggests that specific histone site acetylation has a regulatory role in gene transcriptional activation . Human diseases ( edit ) Inflammatory diseases ( edit ) Gene expression is regulated by histone acetylation and deacetylation , and this regulation is also applicable to inflammatory genes . Inflammatory lung diseases are characterized by expression of specific inflammatory genes such as NF - κB and AP - 1 transcription factor . Treatments with corticosteroids and theophylline for inflammatory lung diseases interfere with HAT / HDAC activity to turn off inflammatory genes . Specifically , gene expression data demonstrated increased activity of HAT and decreased level of HDAC activity in patients with Asthma . Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease showed there is an overall decrease in HDAC activity with unchanged levels of HAT activity . Results have shown that there is an important role for HAT / HDAC activity balance in inflammatory lung diseases and provided insights on possible therapeutic targets . Cancer ( edit ) Due to the regulatory role during transcription of epigenetic modifications in genes , it is not surprising that changes in epigenetic markers , such as acetylation , can contribute to cancer development . HDACs expression and activity in tumor cells is very different from normal cells . The overexpression and increased activity of HDACs has been shown to be characteristic of tumorigenesis and metastasis , suggesting an important regulatory role of histone deacetylation on oncogene expression . One of the examples is the regulation role of histone acetylation / deacetylation in P300 and CBP , both of which contribute to oncogenesis . Approved in 2006 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) , Vorinostat represents a new category for anticancer drugs that are in development . Vorinostat targets histone acetylation mechanisms and can effectively inhibit abnormal chromatin remodeling in cancerous cells . Targets of Vorinostat includes HDAC1 , HDAC2 , HDAC3 and HDAC6 . Other disorders ( edit ) Suggested by the idea that the structure of chromatin can be modified to allow or deny access of transcription activators , regulatory functions of histone acetylation and deacetylation can have implications with genes that cause other diseases . Studies on histone modifications may reveal many novel therapeutic targets . Based on different cardiac hypertrophy models , it has been demonstrated that cardiac stress can result in gene expression changes and alter cardiac function . These changes are mediated through HATs / HDACs posttranslational modification signaling . HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A was reported to reduce stress induced cardiomyocyte autophagy . Studies on p300 and CREB - binding protein linked cardiac hypertrophy with cellular HAT activity suggesting an essential role of histone acetylation status with hypertrophy responsive genes such as GATA4 , SRF , and MEF2 . Epigenetic modifications also play a role in neurological disorders . Deregulation of histones modification are found to be responsible for deregulated gene expression and hence associated with neurological and psychological disorders , such as Schizophrenia and Huntington disease . Current studies indicate that inhibitors of the HDAC family have therapeutic benefits in a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders . Many neurological disorders only affect specific brain regions , therefore , understanding of the specificity of HDACs is still required for further investigations for improved treatments .

what chemical changes in histone proteins are responsible for changes in gene expression
[ "Acetylation has the effect of changing the overall charge of the histone tail from positive to neutral. Nucleosome formation is dependent on the positive charges of the H4 histones and the negative charge on the surface of H2A histone fold domains. Acetylation of the histone tails disrupts this association, leading to weaker binding of the nucleosomal components.[1] By doing this, the DNA is more accessible and leads to more transcription factors being able to reach the DNA. Thus, acetylation of histones is known to increase the expression of genes through transcription activation. Deacetylation performed by HDAC molecules has the opposite effect. By deacetylating the histone tails, the DNA becomes more tightly wrapped around the histone cores, making it harder for transcription factors to bind to the DNA. This leads to decreased levels of gene expression and is known as gene silencing.[5][6][7]", "Acetylation has the effect of changing the overall charge of the histone tail from positive to neutral.

List of roller coaster rankings
List of roller Coaster rankings - wikipedia List of roller Coaster rankings Formula Rossa , the fastest roller coaster in the world Roller coasters are amusement rides developed for amusement parks and modern theme parks . During the 16th and 17th centuries , rides consisting of wooden sleds that took riders down large slides made from ice were popular in Russia . The first roller coasters , where the train was attached to a wooden track , first appeared in France in the early 1800s . Although wooden roller coasters are still being produced , steel roller coasters are more common and can be found on every continent except Antarctica . Ranked by height , speed , length , inversions , and steepness , roller coasters are also rated through public opinion polls . Amusement parks often compete to build the tallest , fastest , and longest rides to attract thrill seekers and boost overall park attendance . However , many records do not usually last long . When Magnum XL - 200 opened in 1989 , it began a new era of roller coasters and increased competition among parks to set new world records . The Magnum XL -- 200 was the first complete - circuit roller coaster built over 200 feet ( 61 m ) . Other notable roller coasters include Formula Rossa which reaches a top speed of 149 miles per hour ( 240 km / h ) , Kingda Ka which stands at 456 feet ( 139 m ) tall , and Steel Dragon 2000 which measures 8,133 feet ( 2,479 m ) in length .

Perry Expedition
Perry expedition - wikipedia Perry expedition Jump to : navigation , search The Perry Expedition was a diplomatic expedition to Bakumatsu period Japan , involving two separate trips by warships of the United States Navy , which took place during 1853 -- 54 . The goals of this expedition included exploration , surveying , and the establishment of diplomatic relations and negotiation of trade agreements with various nations of the region ; opening contact with the government of Japan was considered a top priority of the expedition , and was one of the key reasons for its inception . The expedition was commanded by Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry , under orders from American President Millard Fillmore . Perry 's primary goal was to force an end to Japan 's 220 - year - old policy of isolation and to open Japanese ports to American trade , through the use of gunboat diplomacy if necessary . The Perry Expedition led directly to the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and the western `` Great Powers '' , and eventually to the collapse of the ruling Tokugawa shogunate . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Preparation 3 First visit to Japan , 1852 -- 1853 3.1 Threat of force and negotiation 4 Second visit to Japan , 1854 5 Return to the United States , 1855 6 See also 7 References 8 Notes 9 External links Background ( edit ) Commodore Matthew Perry The growing commerce between America and China , the presence of American whalers in waters off Japan , and the increasing monopolization of potential coaling stations by the British and French in Asia were all contributing factors in the decision by President Fillmore to dispatch an expedition to Japan . The Americans were also driven by concepts of Manifest Destiny and the desire to impose the benefits of western civilization and the Christian religion on what they perceived as `` backward '' Asian nations . By the early nineteenth century , the Japanese policy of isolation was increasingly under challenge . In 1844 , King William II of the Netherlands sent a letter urging Japan to end the isolation policy on its own before change would be forced from the outside . Between 1790 and 1853 at least twenty - seven U.S. ships ( including three warships ) visited Japan , only to be turned away . There were increasing sightings and incursions of foreign ships in Japanese waters , and this led to considerable internal debate in Japan on how best to meet this potential threat to Japan 's economic and political sovereignty . In May 1851 , American Secretary of State Daniel Webster authorized Commodore John H. Aulick , commander of the East India Squadron , to attempt to return seventeen shipwrecked Japanese then in San Francisco , which might provide the opportunity for opening commercial relations with Japan . On May 10 , 1851 , Webster drafted a letter addressed to the `` Japanese Emperor '' with assurances that the expedition had no religious purpose , but was only to request `` friendship and commerce '' and supplies of coal needed by ships en route to China . The letter also boasted of American expansion across the North American continent and its technical prowess , and was signed by President Fillmore . However , Aulick became involved in a diplomatic row with a Brazilian diplomat and quarrels with the captain of his flagship , and was relieved of his command before he could undertake the Japan expedition . His replacement , Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry ( 1794 -- 1858 ) was a senior - ranking officer in the United States Navy , and had extensive diplomatic experience . Preparation ( edit ) Perry was well aware of the difficulties involving attempting to establish relations with Japan , and initially protested that he would prefer to command the Mediterranean Squadron of the US Navy instead of being assigned to yet another doomed attempt to `` open '' Japan . These precedents included : From 1797 to 1809 , several American ships traded in Nagasaki under the Dutch flag , upon the request of the Dutch , who were not able to send their own ships because of their conflict against Britain during the Napoleonic Wars . In 1837 , an American businessman in Canton named Charles W. King saw an opportunity to open trade by trying to return to Japan three Japanese sailors ( among them , Otokichi ) who had been shipwrecked a few years before on the coast of Washington . He went to Uraga Channel with Morrison , an unarmed American merchant ship . The ship was attacked several times , and sailed back without completing its mission . In 1846 , Commander James Biddle , anchored in Edo Bay on an official mission with two ships , including one warship armed with 72 cannons , asking for ports to be opened for trade , but his requests for a trade agreement remained unsuccessful . In 1849 , Captain James Glynn sailed to Nagasaki , leading at last to the first successful negotiation by an American with Japan . James Glynn recommended to the United States Congress that negotiations to open Japan be backed up by a demonstration of force , thus paving the way for Perry 's expedition . In advance of his voyage , Perry read widely amongst available books about Japan . His research also included consultation with the renowned Japanologist Philipp Franz von Siebold . Siebold spent eight years working , teaching , and studying at the isolated Dutch island - trading post of Dejima in Nagasaki harbour , before returning to Leiden in the Netherlands . Perry also demanded greater latitude in his orders from Webster , a demand the Secretary of State granted just before his death in October 1852 . Perry thus sailed for Japan with `` full and discretionary powers , '' including possible use of force if the Japanese tried to treat him as they had the unfortunate Commodore Biddle . Perry also refused to allow any professional diplomats to accompany the expedition . He asked the German painter William Heine and pioneer daguerreotype photographer Eliphalet M. Brown , Jr. to join the expedition as official artists . Agricultural specialist Dr. James Morrow was assigned by the US State Department . Several Japanese castaways were also taken on as unofficial interpreters . The expedition was assigned the steam warships Mississippi , Susquehanna , Powhatan , and Allegheny , and the sailing sloops Plymouth and Saratoga , as well as the battleships Vermont and Macedonian To command his fleet , Perry chose officers with whom he had served in the Mexican - American War . Commander Franklin Buchanan was captain of Susquehanna and Joel Abbot was captain of Macedonian . Commander Henry A. Adams became the Commodore 's chief of staff with the title `` Captain of the Fleet '' . Major Jacob Zeilin ( future commandant of the United States Marine Corps ) was the ranking Marine officer , and was stationed on Mississippi . Perry also received permission to take government stores as `` gifts '' for the natives , especially obsolete small arms . These included 40 M1819 Hall rifles ( with 4,000 cartridges ) , 20 percussion pistols ( with 2,000 cartridges ) , 20 artillery swords , 20 muskets with Maynard percussion locks and 40 light cavalry sabers , as well as 100 Colt revolvers . First visit to Japan , 1852 -- 1853 ( edit ) Japanese woodblock print of Perry ( center ) and other high - ranking American seamen Perry chose the black - hulled paddle - wheeled Mississippi as his flagship , and cleared Hampton Roads , Virginia on 24 November 1852 . Perry made port calls at Madeira ( December 11 -- 15 ) , St Helena ( January 10 -- 11 ) , Cape Town ( January 24 -- February 3 ) , Mauritius ( February 18 -- 28 ) , Ceylon ( March 10 -- 15 ) , Singapore ( March 25 -- 29 ) and Macao and Hong Kong ( April 7 -- 28 ) , where he met with American - born Sinologist Samuel Wells Williams ( who had been to Japan with the Morrison in 1837 ) , who provided Chinese language translations of his official letters , and where he rendezvoused with Plymouth and Saratoga . He continued to Shanghai ( May 4 -- 17 ) , where met with the Dutch - born American diplomat , Anton L.C. Portman , who translated his official letters into the Dutch language , and where he rendezvoused with Susquehanna . Perry then switched his flag to Susquehanna and called on the Ryukyu islands from May 17 -- 26 . Ignoring the claims of Satsuma Domain to the islands , as well as his own orders , he threatened and bluffed local authorities by threatening to attack with 200 troops unless he were allowed trading rights and land for a coaling station . Perry landed his Marines , whom he drilled on the beach for hours at a time , and demanded an audience with the Ryukyu King Shō Tai at Shuri Castle . Knowing that his every action would be reported to Japanese authorities in Edo , Perry was careful to avoid meeting with low - ranked officials and made much use of military ceremony and shipboard hospitality to demonstrate both American military power and the peaceful intent of his expedition . Perry left with promises that the islands would be completely open to trade with the United States . Continuing on the Ogasawara islands in mid-June , Perry met with the local inhabitants and even purchased a plot of land . Threat of force and negotiation ( edit ) Perry finally reached Uraga at the entrance to Edo Bay in Japan on 8 July 1853 . His fleet at this time consisted of four vessels : Susquehanna , Mississippi , Plymouth and Saratoga . As he arrived , Perry ordered his ships to steam past Japanese lines towards the capital of Edo , and position their guns towards the town of Uraga . He also fired blank shots from his 73 cannons , which he claimed was in celebration of the American Independence Day . Perry 's ships were equipped with new Paixhans shell guns , cannons capable of wreaking great explosive destruction with every shell . The American ships were almost surrounded by Japanese guard boats ; however , Perry ordered that any attempt at boarding was to be repelled . One boat carried a large sign in French ordering the American fleet to depart immediately . On 9 July , a yoriki from the Uraga bugyō , Nakajima Saburosuke , accompanied interpreter Hori Tatsunosuke , rowed out to Susquehanna , but were at first refused permission to come on board . After some negotiation , they were permitted to board , where they displayed the order that no foreign ships were allowed into Japanese ports . Perry remained in his cabin and refused to meet them , sending word through his officers that as he carried a letter from the President of the United States , he would only deal with officials of sufficient stature and authority . On 10 July , yoriki Kayama Eizaemon , pretending to be the Uraga bugyō , called on Susquehanna and was allowed to meet Captain Franklin , whom he advised to travel to Nagasaki , as this was the designated port for all foreign contact . Kayama was told that unless a suitable official came to receive the document , Perry would land troops and march on Edo , to deliver the letter in person . Kayama asked for three days in order to respond . The actual Uraga bugyō , Ido Hiromichi , sent a report to the Shogun and advised that his defenses were totally inadequate to repel the Americans by force . In the meantime , Perry began a campaign of intimidation , by sending boats to survey the surrounding area , and threatened to use force if the Japanese guard boats around the American squadron did not disperse . He also presented the Japanese with a white flag and a letter which told them that in case they chose to combat , the Americans would necessarily vanquish them . In the meantime , the Japanese government was paralyzed due to the incapacitation by illness of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyoshi and by political indecision on how to handle the unprecedented threat to the nation 's capital . On 11 July , senior rōjū Abe Masahiro temporized , deciding that simply accepting a letter from the Americans would not constitute a violation of Japanese sovereignty . The decision was conveyed to Uraga , and Perry was asked to move his fleet slightly southwest to the beach at Kurihama ( in modern - day Yokosuka ) , where he was allowed to land on 14 July . Perry went ashore with considerable pomp , landing with 250 sailors and Marines in 15 ships 's boats after a 13 - gun salute from Susquehanna . Major Zuilin 's Marines presented arms , and a band played Hail Columbia . President Fillmore 's letter was formally received by hatamoto Toda `` Izu - no - kami '' Ujiyoshi and by Ido `` Iwami - no - kami '' Hiromichi . Perry 's squadron eventually departed Tokyo Bay on 17 July for the Chinese coast , promising to return for a reply . After Perry 's departure , an extensive debate ensued within the Shogunal court on how to respond to the American 's implied threats . Shogun Tokugawa Ieyoshi died days after Perry 's departure , and was succeeded by his sickly young son , Tokugawa Iesada , leaving effective administration in the hands of the Council of Elders ( rōjū ) led by Abe Masahiro . Abe felt that it was currently impossible for Japan to resist the American demands by military force , and yet was reluctant to take any action on his own authority for such an unprecedented situation . Attempting to legitimize any decision taken , Abe polled all of the daimyo for their opinions . This was the first time that the Tokugawa shogunate had allowed its decision - making to be a matter of public debate , and had the unforeseen consequence of portraying the Shogunate as weak and indecisive . The results of the poll also failed to provide Abe with an answer , as of the 61 known responses , 19 were in favor of accepting the American demands , and 19 were equally opposed . Of the remainder , 14 gave vague responses expressing concern of possible war , 7 suggested making temporary concessions and two advised that they would simply go along with whatever was decided . The only universal recommendation was that steps be taken immediately to bolster Japan 's coastal defenses . Fortifications were hurriedly built close to current day Odaiba in order to protect Edo from a subsequent American naval incursion . Odaiba battery at the entrance of Tokyo , built in 1853 -- 54 to prevent an American intrusion One of the cannons of Odaiba , now at the Yasukuni Shrine. 80 - pound bronze , bore : 250mm , length : 3830mm . Second visit to Japan , 1854 ( edit ) Commodore Perry 's fleet for his second visit to Japan in 1854 Although having told the Japanese that he would return the following spring , Perry soon learned that Russian admiral Vice-Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin had called in at Nagasaki shortly after he departed from Edo Bay , and had spent a month attempting to force the Chinese to sign a treaty before his return . He also was told by both the British and French that they intended to accompany him to Japan in the spring to ensure that the Americans did not obtain any exclusive privileges . Perry thus returned on 13 February 1854 with a total of ten vessels and 1600 men . The fleet now also included : Lexington , Macedonian , Powhatan , Vandalia , Southampton and Supply . By the time of Perry 's return , the Tokugawa shogunate had decided to accept virtually all the demands in Fillmore 's letter . However , negotiators procrastinated for weeks over the site for negotiations , with Perry insisting on Edo , and the Japanese offering various other locations . Perry eventually lost his temper and threatened to bring 100 ships ( more than the actual size of the US Navy at the time ) within 20 days to war on Japan . Both sides eventually compromised on the tiny village of Yokohama , where a purpose - built hall was erected . Perry landed on 8 March with 500 sailors and Marines in 27 ship 's boats , with three bands playing the Star Spangled Banner . After three weeks of negotiations , on 31 March , Perry signed the Convention of Kanagawa which opened the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to American ships , provided for care of shipwrecked sailors , and the establishment of an American consulate in Shimoda . The treaty was signed on the Japanese side by Hayashi Akira . After the signing of the treaty , the Americans presented the Japanese with a miniature steam locomotive , a telegraph apparatus , various agricultural tools , and small arms , as well as one hundred gallons of whiskey , clocks , stoves , and books about the United States . The Japanese responded with gold - lacquered furniture and boxes , bronze ornaments , porcelain goblets and upon learning of Perry 's personal hobby , a collection of seashells . Japanese 1854 print relating Perry 's visit . Perry then dispatched Saratoga home with the signed treaty , while the rest of the squadron went to survey Hakodate , Shimoda and the site of the future consulate . Bust of Matthew Perry in Shimoda , Shizuoka After departing Shimoda , the fleet returned to the Ryukyu Islands , where Perry swiftly drafted the `` Compact between the United States and the Ryukyu Kingdom '' , which was formally signed on 11 July 1854 . Return to the United States , 1855 ( edit ) After Perry returned to the United States in 1855 , Congress voted to grant him a reward of $20,000 in appreciation of his work in Japan . Perry used part of this money to prepare and publish a report on the expedition in three volumes , titled Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan . He was also advanced to the grade of rear - admiral on the retired list ( when his health began to fail ) as a reward for his services . Perry was known to have suffered severe arthritis that left him in frequent pain , that on occasion precluded him from his duties . Perry spent his last years preparing for publication his account of the Japan expedition , announcing its completion on 28 December 1857 . Two days later he was detached from his last post , an assignment to the Naval Efficiency Board . He died awaiting further orders on 4 March 1858 in New York City , of `` rheumatism '' that had spread to the heart , compounded by complications of gout .

who forced japan to open trade in 1853
[ "The Perry Expedition was a diplomatic expedition to Bakumatsu period Japan, involving two separate trips by warships of the United States Navy, which took place during 1853–54. The goals of this expedition included exploration, surveying, and the establishment of diplomatic relations and negotiation of trade agreements with various nations of the region; opening contact with the government of Japan was considered a top priority of the expedition, and was one of the key reasons for its inception. The expedition was commanded by Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, under orders from American President Millard Fillmore. Perry’s primary goal was to force an end to Japan’s 220-year-old policy of isolation and to open Japanese ports to American trade, through the use of gunboat diplomacy if necessary.

These leaders serve as the chief Senate spokespeople for the political parties respectively holding the majority and the minority in the United States Senate , and manage and schedule the legislative and executive business of the Senate . They are elected to their positions in the Senate by their respective party caucuses , the Senate Democratic Caucus and the Senate Republican Conference . By rule , the Presiding Officer gives the Majority Leader priority in obtaining recognition to speak on the floor of the Senate . The Majority Leader customarily serves as the chief representative of their party in the Senate , and sometimes even in all of Congress if the House of Representatives and thus the office of Speaker of the House is controlled by the opposition party . The Assistant Majority and Minority Leaders of the United States Senate ( commonly called Senate Majority and Minority Whips ) are the second - ranking members of each party 's leadership . The main function of the Majority and Minority Whips is to gather votes on major issues . Because they are the second ranking members of the Senate , if there is no floor leader present , the whip may become acting floor leader . Before 1969 , the official titles were Majority Whip and Minority Whip . Contents ( hide ) 1 Current floor leaders 2 History 3 List of party leaders 4 See also 5 Notes 6 External links Current floor leaders ( edit ) The Senate is currently composed of 51 Republicans , 47 Democrats , and 2 independents , both of whom caucus with the Democrats . The current leaders are long - time Senators Mitch McConnell ( R ) from Kentucky and Chuck Schumer ( D ) from New York . The current Assistant Leaders / Whips are long - time Senators John Cornyn ( R ) from Texas and Dick Durbin ( D ) from Illinois . History ( edit ) The Democrats began the practice of electing floor leaders in 1920 while they were in the minority . John W. Kern was a Democratic Senator from Indiana . While the title was not official , he is considered to be the first Senate party leader from 1913 through 1917 ( and in turn , the first Senate Democratic Leader ) , while serving concurrently as Chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus . In 1925 the majority ( at the time ) Republicans also adopted this language when Charles Curtis became the first ( official ) Majority Leader , although his immediate predecessor Henry Cabot Lodge is considered the first ( unofficial ) Senate Majority Leader . The Constitution designates the Vice President of the United States as President of the United States Senate . The Constitution also calls for a President pro tempore to serve as the leader of the body when the President of the Senate ( the Vice President ) is absent . In practice , neither the Vice President nor the President pro tempore -- customarily the most senior ( longest - serving ) Senator in the majority party -- actually presides over the Senate on a daily basis ; that task is given to junior Senators of the majority party . Since the Vice President may be of a different party than the majority and is not a member subject to discipline , the rules of procedure of the Senate give the presiding officer very little power and none beyond the presiding role . For these reasons , it is the Majority Leader who , in practice , manages the Senate . This is in contrast to the House of Representatives where the elected Speaker of the House has a great deal of discretionary power and generally presides over votes on bills . List of party leaders ( edit ) The Democratic Party first selected a leader in 1920 . The Republican Party first formally designated a leader in 1925 .

the official head of the senate is the
[ "The Constitution designates the Vice President of the United States as President of the United States Senate. The Constitution also calls for a President pro tempore to serve as the leader of the body when the President of the Senate (the Vice President) is absent. In practice, neither the Vice President nor the President pro tempore—customarily the most senior (longest-serving) Senator in the majority party—actually presides over the Senate on a daily basis; that task is given to junior Senators of the majority party. Since the Vice President may be of a different party than the majority and is not a member subject to discipline, the rules of procedure of the Senate give the presiding officer very little power and none beyond the presiding role. For these reasons, it is the Majority Leader who, in practice, manages the Senate. This is in contrast to the House of Representatives where the elected Speaker of the House has a great deal of discretionary power and generally presides over votes on bills.[citation needed]" ]

The rest of the Cullens and Jacob stay nearby , and when Jacob acts possessively towards Renesmee , Bella learns he has imprinted on her , making her furious until Jacob explains what imprinting is . Meanwhile , Bella 's father , Charlie , has been trying to contact the Cullens for updates on Bella 's health . Carlisle comes to believe that they have to leave Forks , Washington to protect their identities - especially because of Charlie . Jacob , desperate not to lose Renesmee , visits Charlie and tell him that Bella is alive and well , but had to change in order to get better . Jacob also tells Charlie he does n't live in the world he thinks he lives in , but says nothing about vampires . He then phases into his wolf form . Charlie then visits the Cullen house and meets Renesmee , but does n't know he 's her biological grandfather . Afterward , the Cullens are able to stay in Forks . Several months pass with Carlisle monitoring Renesmee 's rapid growth . On an outing in the woods , a bitter Irina sees Renesmee from a distance and assumes she 's an immortal child without asking any questions . Immortal children were vampires who were changed in childhood , and because they could not be trained nor restrained , they destroyed entire villages . They were eventually executed , as were the parents who created them , and the creation of such children outlawed . Irina goes to the Volturi to report what she has seen . Alice sees the Volturi and Irina coming to kill the Cullens , and instructs the others to gather as many witnesses as they can to testify that Renesmee is not an immortal child . The Cullens begin to summon witnesses , such as the Denali family . One of the Denali , Eleazar , later discovers that Bella has a special ability : a powerful mental shield which had protected her from Edward 's mind reading even when she was human , and which she can now extend to protect others from attacks . As some of their potential witnesses are attacked and prevented from supporting the Cullens , Carlisle and Edward realize they may have to fight the Volturi . Their witnesses ultimately agree to stand with them in battle , having realized the Volturi increased their Guard by falsely accusing covens of crimes , destroying them and then recruiting the vampires with gifts . The Volturi arrive prepared for battle , led by Aro , who is eager to obtain the gifted members of the Cullen coven as part of his Guard . Aro is allowed to touch Renesmee , and is convinced that she is not an immortal child . Irina is brought forth and takes full responsibility for her mistake , leading to her immediate death . Aro still insists that Renesmee may pose a risk in the future , validating his claim that battle is necessary . Before any violence , Alice shares with Aro her vision of the battle that is to come , during which both sides sustain heavy casualties , including Aro , who would also die . Aro believes her , giving Alice and Jasper an opportunity to reveal their witness , Nahuel ( a half - mortal half - vampire just like Renesmee ) . The witness proves that he is not a threat , supporting the notion that Renesmee is not a threat . The Volturi unhappily walk away , explaining that there will be no battle today . Back at the Cullen home , Alice glimpses the future , seeing Edward and Bella together with Jacob and a fully matured Renesmee also together . Edward reads Alice 's mind and feels relieved that Renesmee has Jacob to protect her . Alone in the meadow , Bella pushes her mental shield away and finally allows Edward to see into her mind , showing him every moment she and Edward shared together and the two share a kiss after Bella telling Edward , `` Nobody has ever loved anybody as much as I love you '' , and both Edward and Bella say they 'll love and be together forever . The end credits present the cast members from all five films .

Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) After confirming one film , Summit Entertainment had been keeping their eye on a fifth installment . In May 2010 , Billy Burke and Peter Facinelli were the only cast actors who were confirmed for both parts of Breaking Dawn , while other cast members such as Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz were still in negotiations for a second part . If the actors holding Summit back from making an official announcement did not reach an agreement with them , the studio would not have minded recasting their roles , as was done in The Twilight Saga : Eclipse with Bryce Dallas Howard 's character , Victoria . However , in June 2010 , Summit officially confirmed that a two - part adaptation of the fourth book would start production and it was made clear that all major actors , including the three lead roles , the Cullen family , and Charlie Swan , would return for both parts . Pre-production ( edit ) By August 2009 , Rosenberg said that the scripts for Part 1 and 2 were 75 to 85 percent completed . She found the greatest challenge in writing the scripts to be the final sequence of Part 2 : `` The final battle sequence is a big challenge because it lasts 25 pages '' , she said . `` It 's almost an entire three - act story in and of itself . You have to track ( keep it all in one setting ) hundreds of characters . It 's an enormous challenge to choreograph on the page and for Bill ( Condon ) to choreograph on the stage . '' She had written various drafts of the scene but , at that , had n't revised or discussed them with Condon yet . She said , `` That 's the next big hurdle to sit down with the stunt coordinator and create the ballet . It 's a lot of work . I 'm exhausted , but we 're intent on making them the best scripts yet . '' Godfrey called Part 2 `` an action film in terms of life - and - death stakes '' and said that in Part 1 `` there are the pangs of newlywed tension that occur that are relatable even in a fantasy film . Marriage is not quite the experience that they thought it was . '' Condon thought of Part 1 `` as a real companion piece to Catherine Hardwicke 's movie '' . Condon explains , `` Like , everything that got set up there gets resolved here . I think you 'll find that there are stylistic and other nods to that film . '' Godfrey considered releasing the second film in 3D to differentiate between the time before and after Bella becomes a vampire , an idea originally proposed for Eclipse , but said that the decision is up to Condon . However , he said that if the second film were to be released in 3D , he would like to shoot it with the proper equipment in `` real '' 3D as was done with Avatar ( 2009 ) , not convert it into 3D in post-production as was done with Clash of the Titans ( 2010 ) . On February 12 , 2012 it was confirmed that Part 2 would not be filmed in 3D . Filming ( edit ) Filming started on November 1 , 2010 and wrapped , for most of the cast , on April 15 , 2011 , ending the franchise 's three years of production since March 2008 . Filming was shot on location in Baton Rouge , Louisiana ; Vancouver , British Columbia ; New Orleans ; and at the Raleigh Studios in Baton Rouge . On the subject of the final day and her final moment as Bella , Stewart stated , `` After that scene , my true final scene , I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light . I felt lighter than I 've ever felt in my life . '' Pattinson thought the day was `` amazing '' and commented , `` I then asked myself why we did n't do this in those four years . Every difficult moment just vanished . '' In April 2012 , the crew and cast , including Pattinson and Stewart , returned for reshoots to pick up some additional shots for technical work with some of the cast and stunt actors . These re-shoots did not include any new scenes or dialogue . Special Effects ( edit ) Tippett Studio first began working on the CGI ( computer - generated imagery ) wolves in February 2009 for The Twilight Saga : New Moon , and the look of the creatures has evolved , becoming more photo real over the course of the saga , with the input of three different directors . `` It 's a subtle balance of just how anthropomorphic these wolves are , '' says Eric Leven . `` Bill ( Condon ) wanted to make sure that we had a sense of the human or the shape shifter in there . Finding that balance of how much of a human performance versus an animal performance was important for Bill . '' Leven adds , `` Bill has always treated the wolves as characters and never as computer generated things , and directs them in the same way he 'd direct any actor . He would always give us direction like Sam should be angrier . It 's the best way to work . His treating these creatures as characters , instead of just computer bits , was really great . '' `` Because we 've been working on this franchise for such a prolonged period of time , we 've been able to improve the look from show to show , '' comments Phil Tippett . `` Wolves generally are pretty darn clean and since Bill wanted the wolves rangier , that means a lot more fur matting and clumping , like they 've lived out in the woods . We edged towards something a bit more feral . '' `` However , there is also a balance between look and technology , '' adds Tippett . `` The body count of the wolves escalates and because we 're adding a great deal more hair to get the right texture , that fur really ups the rendering time . We 've gone from four wolves to eight to twelve , to sixteen in Part 2 . So we have to be very careful about that balance , because it takes hundreds of hours to render each wolf . '' Music ( edit ) Main article : The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 2 ( soundtrack ) It was revealed in January 2012 that the soundtrack for Part 2 had already started production . Confirmed for the soundtrack in advance were `` Heart of Stone '' by Iko , which plays when Edward and Bella are talking in the cottage after finding Alice 's note and `` Where I Come From '' by Passion Pit , which will play when Bella wakes up from her transformation . The lead single from the soundtrack is `` The Forgotten '' , performed by the American rock band Green Day . `` A Thousand Years , Pt. 2 '' by the American singer Christina Perri is also featured on the soundtrack album . Carter Burwell , the composer of Twilight and Breaking Dawn : Part 1 , returned to score the final installment of the series . In later announcements , Burwell confirmed that the score for the film was complete . `` The movie basically upholds the final installment with a score that has the same jungle - music feeling The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn -- Part 1 brought us , '' Burwell affirmed . `` The music pieces that take place in the catalytic final battle will be very much like the nineteenth song in the previous movie 's score , ' It 's Renesmee ' and the twenty - fourth , ' You Kill Her You Kill Me ' , which were , if not the most , one of the boldest pieces in my career . I will tease anything but I recommend for the fans to listen to ' A Kick in the Head ' , ' Exacueret Nostri Dentes in Filia ' and ' Aro 's End ' if you want to have goosebumps for the rest of your life .

Critical response ( edit ) The film received mixed reviews from critics , but the reviews were much more favorable than those of its predecessor . At Rotten Tomatoes , the film has a 48 % rating , based on 185 reviews with the consensus stating : `` It 's the most entertaining Twilight , but that 's not enough to make Breaking Dawn Part 2 worth watching for filmgoers who do n't already count themselves among the franchise converts . '' At Metacritic it has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100 , based on reviews from 31 critics . Audiences polled on CinemaScore gave it an average rating of ' A ' . The majority of praise from both fans and critics went towards the ending sequence , Michael Sheen 's performance as the Volturi leader Aro and Lee Pace 's performance as vampire Garrett . Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote , `` The final installment of the immortal Bella / Edward romance will give its breathlessly awaiting international audience just what it wants '' . Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly said , `` Breaking Dawn : Part 2 starts off slow but gathers momentum , and that 's because , with Bella and Edward united against the Volturi , the picture has a real threat '' . Sara Stewart of the New York Post wrote , `` Finally , someone took the source material at its terribly written word and stopped treating the whole affair so seriously '' . Justin Chang of Variety praised the performance of Stewart by saying , `` No longer a mopey , lower - lip - biting emo girl , this Bella is twitchy , feral , formidable and fully energized , a goddess even among her exalted bloodsucker brethren '' . Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said , `` Despite the slow start Mr. Condon closes the series in fine , smooth style . He gives fans all the lovely flowers , conditioned hair and lightly erotic , dreamy kisses they deserve '' . Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun - Times gave the film two - and - a-half stars out of four , saying `` its audience , which takes these films very seriously indeed , will drink deeply of its blood . The sensational closing sequence can not be accused of leaving a single loophole , not even some of those we did n't know were there '' . He concluded by saying , `` '' Breaking Dawn , Part 2 '' must be one of the more serious entries in any major movie franchise ... it bit the bullet , and I imagine fans will be pleased . '' Helen O'Hara of Empire gave the film a mixed review and said , `` Fans will be left on a high ; other viewers will be confused but generally entertained by a saga whose romance is matched only by its weirdness '' .

who dies in twilight breaking dawn part 2
[ "As some of their potential witnesses are attacked and prevented from supporting the Cullens, Carlisle and Edward realize they may have to fight the Volturi. Their witnesses ultimately agree to stand with them in battle, having realized the Volturi increased their Guard by falsely accusing covens of crimes, destroying them and then recruiting the vampires with gifts. The Volturi arrive prepared for battle, led by Aro, who is eager to obtain the gifted members of the Cullen coven as part of his Guard. Aro is allowed to touch Renesmee, and is convinced that she is not an immortal child. Irina is brought forth and takes full responsibility for her mistake, leading to her immediate death. Aro still insists that Renesmee may pose a risk in the future, validating his claim that battle is necessary. Before any violence, Alice shares with Aro her vision of the battle that is to come, during which both sides sustain heavy casualties, including Aro, who would also die. Aro believes her, giving Alice and Jasper an opportunity to reveal their witness, Nahuel (a half-mortal half-vampire just like Renesmee). The witness proves that he is not a threat, supporting the notion that Renesmee is not a threat. The Volturi unhappily walk away, explaining that there will be no battle today.\n" ]

The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee , developed by scripter Larry Lieber , and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby . The character made his first appearance in Tales of Suspense # 39 ( cover dated March 1963 ) . A wealthy American business magnate , playboy , and ingenious scientist , Anthony Edward `` Tony '' Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction . He instead creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity . Later , Stark augments his suit with weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company , Stark Industries . He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man , while at first concealing his true identity . Initially , Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes , particularly the role of American technology and industry in the fight against communism . Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War motifs to contemporary matters of the time . Throughout most of the character 's publication history , Iron Man has been a founding member of the superhero team the Avengers and has been featured in several incarnations of his own various comic book series . Iron Man has been adapted for several animated TV shows and films . The character is portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the live action film Iron Man ( 2008 ) , which was a critical and box office success . Downey , who received much acclaim for his performance , reprised the role in a cameo in The Incredible Hulk ( 2008 ) , two Iron Man sequels Iron Man 2 ( 2010 ) and Iron Man 3 ( 2013 ) , The Avengers ( 2012 ) , Avengers : Age of Ultron ( 2015 ) , Captain America : Civil War ( 2016 ) , and Spider - Man : Homecoming ( 2017 ) , and will do so again in Avengers : Infinity War ( 2018 ) and its untitled sequel ( 2019 ) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Iron Man was ranked 12th on IGN 's `` Top 100 Comic Book Heroes '' in 2011 , and third in their list of `` The Top 50 Avengers '' in 2012 .

In 1963 , Lee had been toying with the idea of a businessman superhero . He wanted to create the `` quintessential capitalist '' , a character that would go against the spirit of the times and Marvel 's readership. Lee said , I think I gave myself a dare . It was the height of the Cold War . The readers , the young readers , if there was one thing they hated , it was war , it was the military ... So I got a hero who represented that to the hundredth degree . He was a weapons manufacturer , he was providing weapons for the Army , he was rich , he was an industrialist ... I thought it would be fun to take the kind of character that nobody would like , none of our readers would like , and shove him down their throats and make them like him ... And he became very popular . He set out to make the new character a wealthy , glamorous ladies ' man , but one with a secret that would plague and torment him as well . Writer Gerry Conway said , `` Here you have this character , who on the outside is invulnerable , I mean , just ca n't be touched , but inside is a wounded figure . Stan made it very much an in - your - face wound , you know , his heart was broken , you know , literally broken . But there 's a metaphor going on there . And that 's , I think , what made that character interesting . '' Lee based this playboy 's looks and personality on Howard Hughes , explaining , `` Howard Hughes was one of the most colorful men of our time . He was an inventor , an adventurer , a multi-billionaire , a ladies ' man and finally a nutcase . '' `` Without being crazy , he was Howard Hughes , '' Lee said . While Lee intended to write the story himself , a minor deadline emergency eventually forced him to hand over the premiere issue to Lieber , who fleshed out the story . The art was split between Kirby and Heck . `` He designed the costume , '' Heck said of Kirby , `` because he was doing the cover . The covers were always done first . But I created the look of the characters , like Tony Stark and his secretary Pepper Potts . '' In a 1990 interview , when asked if he had `` a specific model for Tony Stark and the other characters ? '' , Heck replied `` No , I would be thinking more along the lines of some characters I like , which would be the same kind of characters that Alex Toth liked , which was an Errol Flynn type . '' Iron Man first appeared in 13 - to 18 - page stories in Tales of Suspense , which featured anthology science fiction and supernatural stories . The character 's original costume was a bulky gray armored suit , replaced by a golden version in the second story ( issue # 40 , April 1963 ) . It was redesigned as sleeker , red - and - golden armor in issue # 48 ( Dec. 1963 ) by that issue 's interior artist , Steve Ditko , although Kirby drew it on the cover . As Heck recalled in 1985 , `` ( T ) he second costume , the red and yellow one , was designed by Steve Ditko . I found it easier than drawing that bulky old thing . The earlier design , the robot - looking one , was more Kirbyish . '' In his premiere , Iron Man was an anti-communist hero , defeating various Vietnamese agents . Lee later regretted this early focus . Throughout the character 's comic book series , technological advancement and national defense were constant themes for Iron Man , but later issues developed Stark into a more complex and vulnerable character as they depicted his battle with alcoholism ( as in the `` Demon in a Bottle '' storyline ) and other personal difficulties . From issue # 59 ( Nov. 1964 ) to its final issue # 99 ( March 1968 ) , the anthological science - fiction backup stories in Tales of Suspense were replaced by a feature starring the superhero Captain America . Lee and Heck introduced several adversaries for the character including the Mandarin in issue # 50 ( Feb. 1964 ) , the Black Widow in # 52 ( April 1964 ) and Hawkeye five issues later . Lee said that `` of all the comic books we published at Marvel , we got more fan mail for Iron Man from women , from females , than any other title ... We did n't get much fan mail from girls , but whenever we did , the letter was usually addressed to Iron Man . '' Lee and Kirby included Iron Man in The Avengers # 1 ( Sept. 1963 ) as a founding member of the superhero team . The character has since appeared in every subsequent volume of the series . Writers have updated the war and locale in which Stark is injured . In the original 1963 story , it was the Vietnam War . In the 1990s , it was updated to be the first Gulf War , and later updated again to be the war in Afghanistan . Stark 's time with the Asian Nobel Prize - winning scientist Ho Yinsen is consistent through nearly all incarnations of the Iron Man origin , depicting Stark and Yinsen building the original armor together . One exception is the direct - to - DVD animated feature film The Invincible Iron Man , in which the armor Stark uses to escape his captors is not the first Iron Man suit . Themes ( edit ) The original Iron Man title explored Cold War themes , as did other Stan Lee projects in the early years of Marvel Comics . Where The Fantastic Four and The Incredible Hulk respectively focused on American domestic and government responses to the Communist threat , Iron Man explored industry 's role in the struggle . Tony Stark 's real - life model , Howard Hughes , was a significant defense contractor who developed new weapons technologies . Hughes was an icon both of American individualism and of the burdens of fame . Historian Robert Genter , in The Journal of Popular Culture , writes that Tony Stark specifically presents an idealized portrait of the American inventor . Where earlier decades had seen important technological innovations come from famous individuals ( e.g. , Nikola Tesla , Thomas Edison , Alexander Graham Bell , the Wright brothers ) , the 1960s saw new technologies ( including weapons ) being developed mainly by the research teams of corporations . As a result , little room remained for the inventor who wanted credit for , and creative and economic control over , his / her own creations . Issues of entrepreneurial autonomy , government supervision of research , and ultimate loyalty figured prominently in early Iron Man stories -- the same issues affecting American scientists and engineers of that era . Tony Stark , writes Genter , is an inventor who finds motive in his emasculation as an autonomous creative individual . This blow is symbolized by his chest wound , inflicted at the moment he is forced to invent things for the purposes of others , instead of just himself . To Genter , Stark 's transformation into Iron Man represents Stark 's effort to reclaim his autonomy , and thus his manhood . The character 's pursuit of women in bed or in battle , writes Genter , represents another aspect of this effort . The pattern finds parallels in other works of 1960s popular fiction by authors such as `` Ian Fleming ( creator of James Bond ) , Mickey Spillane ( Mike Hammer ) , and Norman Mailer , who made unregulated sexuality a form of authenticity . '' First series ( edit ) After issue # 99 ( March 1968 ) , the Tales of Suspense series was renamed Captain America . An Iron Man story appeared in the one - shot comic Iron Man and Sub-Mariner ( April 1968 ) , before the `` Golden Avenger '' made his solo debut with Iron Man # 1 ( May 1968 ) . The series ' indicia gives its copyright title Iron Man , while the trademarked cover logo of most issues is The Invincible Iron Man . Artist George Tuska began a decade long association with the character with Iron Man # 5 ( Sept. 1968 ) . Writer Mike Friedrich and artist Jim Starlin 's brief collaboration on the Iron Man series introduced Mentor , Starfox , and Thanos in issue # 55 ( Feb. 1973 ) . Friedrich scripted a metafictional story in which Iron Man visited the San Diego Comic Convention and met several Marvel Comics writers and artists . He then wrote the multi-issue `` War of the Super-Villains '' storyline which ran through 1975 . Writer David Michelinie , co-plotter / inker Bob Layton , and penciler John Romita Jr. became the creative team on the series with Iron Man # 116 ( Nov. 1978 ) . Micheline and Layton established Tony Stark 's alcoholism with the story `` Demon in a Bottle '' , and introduced several supporting characters , including Stark 's bodyguard girlfriend Bethany Cabe ; Stark 's personal pilot and confidant James Rhodes , who later became the superhero War Machine ; and rival industrialist Justin Hammer , who was revealed to be the employer of numerous high - tech armed enemies Iron Man fought over the years . The duo also introduced the concept of Stark 's specialized armors as he acquired a dangerous vendetta with Doctor Doom . The team worked together through # 154 ( Jan. 1982 ) , with Michelinie writing three issues without Layton . Following Michelinie and Layton 's departures , Dennis O'Neil became the new writer of the series and had Stark relapse into alcoholism . Much of O'Neil's work on this plot thread was based on experiences with alcoholics he knew personally . Jim Rhodes replaced Stark as Iron Man in issue # 169 ( April 1983 ) and wore the armor for the next two years of stories . O'Neil returned Tony Stark to the Iron Man role in issue # 200 ( Nov. 1985 ) . Michelinie and Layton became the creative team once again in issue # 215 ( Feb. 1987 ) . They crafted the `` Armor Wars '' storyline beginning in # 225 ( Dec. 1987 ) through # 231 ( June 1988 ) . John Byrne and John Romita Jr. produced a sequel titled `` Armor Wars II '' in issues # 258 ( July 1990 ) to # 266 ( March 1991 ) . The series had a crossover with the other Avengers related titles as part of the `` Operation : Galactic Storm '' storyline . Later volumes ( edit ) This initial series ended with issue # 332 ( Sept. 1996 ) . Jim Lee , Scott Lobdell , and Jeph Loeb authored a second volume of the series which was drawn primarily by Whilce Portacio and Ryan Benjamin . This volume took place in a parallel universe and ran 13 issues ( Nov. 1996 - Nov. 1997 ) . Volume 3 , whose first 25 issues were written by Kurt Busiek and then by Busiek and Roger Stern , ran 89 issues ( Feb. 1998 - Dec. 2004 ) . Later writers included Joe Quesada , Frank Tieri , Mike Grell , and John Jackson Miller . Issue # 41 ( June 2001 ) was additionally numbered # 386 , reflecting the start of dual numbering starting from the premiere issue of volume one in 1968 . The final issue was dual - numbered as # 434 . The next Iron Man series , Iron Man vol. 4 , debuted in early 2005 with the Warren Ellis - written storyline `` Extremis '' , with artist Adi Granov . It ran 35 issues ( Jan. 2005 - Jan. 2009 ) , with the cover logo simply Iron Man beginning with issue # 13 , and Iron Man : Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. , beginning issue # 15 . On the final three issues , the cover logo was overwritten by `` War Machine , Weapon of S.H.I.E.L.D. '' , which led to the launch of a War Machine ongoing series . The Invincible Iron Man vol. 1 , by writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larroca , began with a premiere issue cover - dated July 2008 . For a seven - month overlap , Marvel published both volume four and volume five simultaneously . This Invincible volume jumped its numbering of issues from # 33 to # 500 , cover dated March 2011 , to reflect the start from the premiere issue of volume one in 1968 . After the conclusion of The Invincible Iron Man a new Iron Man series was started as a part of Marvel Now ! . Written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Greg Land , it began with issue # 1 in November 2012 . The series revealed Tony was adopted , and that he had a disabled half - brother named Arno . Many Iron Man annuals , miniseries , and one - shot titles have been published through the years , such as Age of Innocence : The Rebirth of Iron Man ( Feb. 1996 ) , Iron Man : The Iron Age # 1 - 2 ( Aug. -- Sept. 1998 ) , Iron Man : Bad Blood # 1 - 4 ( Sept. -- Dec. 2000 ) , Iron Man House of M # 1 - 3 ( Sept. -- Nov. 2005 ) , Fantastic Four / Iron Man : Big in Japan # 1 - 4 ( Dec. 2005 -- March 2006 ) , Iron Man : The Inevitable # 1 - 6 ( Feb. -- July 2006 ) , Iron Man / Captain America : Casualties of War ( Feb. 2007 ) , Iron Man : Hypervelocity # 1 - 6 ( March -- Aug. 2007 ) , Iron Man : Enter the Mandarin # 1 - 6 ( Nov. 2007 -- April 2008 ) , and Iron Man : Legacy of Doom ( June -- Sept. 2008 ) . Publications have included such spin - offs as the one - shot Iron Man 2020 ( June 1994 ) , featuring a different Iron Man in the future , and the animated TV series adaptations Marvel Action Hour , Featuring Iron Man # 1 - 8 ( Nov. 1994 -- June 1995 ) and Marvel Adventures Iron Man # 1 - 12 ( July 2007 -- June 2008 ) .

( July 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Tales of Suspense # 39 ( March 1963 ) : Iron Man debuts . Cover art by Jack Kirby and Don Heck . Tales of Suspense # 48 ( Dec. 1963 ) , the debut of Iron Man 's first red - and - gold suit of armor . Cover art by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky . Origins ( edit ) Anthony Edward Stark , the adopted son of wealthy industrialist and head of Stark Industries , Howard Stark , and Maria Stark . A boy genius , he enters MIT at the age of 15 to study electrical engineering and later receives master 's degrees in electrical engineering and physics . After his parents are killed in a car accident , he inherits his father 's company . Stark is injured by a booby trap and captured by enemy forces led by Wong - Chu . Wong - Chu orders Stark to build weapons , but Stark 's injuries are dire and shrapnel is moving towards his heart . His fellow prisoner , Ho Yinsen , a Nobel Prize - winning physicist whose work Stark had greatly admired during college , constructs a magnetic chest plate to keep the shrapnel from reaching Stark 's heart . In secret , Stark and Yinsen use the workshop to design and construct a suit of powered armor , which Stark uses to escape . During the escape attempt , Yinsen sacrifices his life to save Stark 's by distracting the enemy as Stark recharges . Stark takes revenge on his kidnappers and rejoins the American forces , on his way meeting a wounded American Marine fighter pilot , James `` Rhodey '' Rhodes . Back home , Stark discovers that the shrapnel fragment lodged in his chest can not be removed without killing him , and he is forced to wear the armor 's chestplate beneath his clothes to act as a regulator for his heart . He must recharge the chestplate every day or else risk the shrapnel killing him . The cover story that Stark tells the news media and general public is that Iron Man is his robotic personal bodyguard , and corporate mascot . To that end , Iron Man fights threats to his company ( e.g. , Communist opponents Black Widow , the Crimson Dynamo , and the Titanium Man ) , as well as independent villains like the Mandarin ( who becomes his greatest enemy ) . No one suspects Stark of being Iron Man , as he cultivates a strong public image of being a rich playboy and industrialist . Two notable members of the series ' supporting cast , at this point , are his personal chauffeur Harold `` Happy '' Hogan , and secretary Virginia `` Pepper '' Potts -- to both of whom he eventually reveals his dual identity . Meanwhile , James Rhodes finds his own niche as Stark 's personal pilot , ultimately revealing himself to be a man of extraordinary skill and daring in his own right . The series took an anti-Communist stance in its early years , which was softened as public ( and therefore , presumably , reader ) opposition rose to the Vietnam War . This change evolved in a series of storylines featuring Stark reconsidering his political opinions , and the morality of manufacturing weapons for the U.S. military . Stark shows himself to be occasionally arrogant , and willing to act unethically in order to ' let the ends justify the means ' . This leads to personal conflicts with the people around him , both in his civilian and superhero identities . Stark uses his vast personal fortune not only to outfit his own armor , but also to develop weapons for S.H.I.E.L.D. ; other technologies ( e.g. , Quinjets used by the Avengers ) ; and the image inducers used by the X-Men . Eventually , Stark 's heart condition is resolved with an artificial heart transplant . 1970s and early 1980s ( edit ) Stark expands on his armor designs and begins to build his arsenal of specialized armors for particular situations such as for space travel and stealth . Stark also develops a serious dependency on alcohol in the `` Demon in a Bottle '' storyline . The first time it becomes a problem is when Stark discovers that the national security agency S.H.I.E.L.D. has been buying a controlling interest in his company in order to ensure Stark 's continued weapons development for them . At the same time , it is revealed that several minor supervillains armed with advanced weapons who had bedeviled Stark throughout his superhero career are in fact in the employ of Stark 's business rival , Justin Hammer , who begins to plague Stark more directly . At one point in Hammer 's manipulations , the Iron Man armor is taken over and used to murder a diplomat . Although Iron Man is not immediately under suspicion , Stark is forced to hand the armor over to the authorities . Eventually Stark and Rhodes , who is now his personal pilot and confidant , track down and defeat those responsible , although Hammer would return to bedevil Stark again . With the support of his then - girlfriend , Bethany Cabe , his friends and his employees , Stark pulls through these crises and overcomes his dependency on alcohol . Even as he recovers from this harrowing personal trial , Stark 's life is further complicated when he has a confrontation with Doctor Doom that is interrupted by an opportunistic enemy sending them back in time to the time of King Arthur . Once there , Iron Man thwarts Doom 's attempt to solicit the aid of Morgan Le Fay , and the Latverian ruler swears deadly vengeance -- to be indulged sometime after the two return to their own time . This incident was collected and published as Doomquest . Some time later , a ruthless rival , Obadiah Stane , manipulates Stark emotionally into a serious relapse . As a result , Stark loses control of Stark International to Stane , becomes a homeless alcoholic vagrant and gives up his armored identity to Rhodes , who becomes the new Iron Man . Eventually , Stark recovers and joins a new startup , Circuits Maximus . Stark concentrates on new technological designs , including building a new set of armor as part of his recuperative therapy . Rhodes continues to act as Iron Man but steadily grows more aggressive and paranoid , due to the armor not having been calibrated properly for his use . Eventually Rhodes goes on a rampage , and Stark has to don a replica of his original armor to stop him . Fully recovered , Stark confronts Stane who has himself designed armor based on designs seized along with Stark International , dubbing himself the ' Iron Monger ' . Defeated in battle , Stane , rather than give Stark the satisfaction of taking him to trial , commits suicide . Shortly thereafter , Stark regains his personal fortune , but decides against repurchasing Stark International until much later ; he instead creates Stark Enterprises , headquartered in Los Angeles . Late 1980s and 1990s ( edit ) In an attempt to stop other people from misusing his designs , Stark goes about disabling other armored heroes and villains who are using suits based on the Iron Man technology , the designs of which were stolen by his enemy Spymaster . His quest to destroy the stolen technology severely hurts his reputation as Iron Man . After attacking and disabling a series of minor villains such as Stilt - Man , he attacks and defeats the government operative known as Stingray . The situation worsens when Stark realizes that Stingray 's armor does not incorporate any of his designs . He publicly `` fires '' Iron Man while covertly pursuing his agenda . He uses the cover story of wanting to help disable the rogue Iron Man to infiltrate and disable the armor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives known as the Mandroids , and disabling the armor of the Guardsmen , in the process allowing some of the villains that they guard to escape . This leads the United States government to declare Iron Man a danger and an outlaw . Iron Man travels to Russia where he inadvertently causes the death of the Soviet Titanium Man during a fight . Returning to the U.S. , he faces an enemy commissioned by the government named Firepower . Unable to defeat him head on , Stark fakes Iron Man 's demise , intending to retire the suit permanently . When Firepower goes rogue , Stark creates a new suit , claiming a new person is in the armor . Stark 's health continues to deteriorate , and he discovers the armor 's cybernetic interface is causing irreversible damage to his nervous system . His condition is aggravated by a failed attempt on his life by Kathy Dare , a mentally unbalanced former lover , which injures his spine , paralyzing him . Stark has a nerve chip implanted into his spine to regain his mobility . Stark 's nervous system continues its slide towards failure , and he constructs a `` skin '' made up of artificial nerve circuitry to assist it . Stark begins to pilot a remote - controlled Iron Man armor , but when faced with the Masters of Silence , the telepresence suit proves inadequate . Stark designs a more heavily armed version of the suit to wear , the `` Variable Threat Response Battle Suit '' , which becomes known as the War Machine armor . Ultimately , the damage to his nervous system becomes too extensive . Faking his death , Stark places himself in suspended animation to heal as Rhodes takes over both the running of Stark Enterprises and the mantle of Iron Man , although he uses the War Machine armor . Stark makes a full recovery by using a chip to reprogram himself and resumes the Iron Man identity . When Rhodes learns that Stark has manipulated his friends by faking his own death , he becomes enraged and the two friends part ways , Rhodes continuing as War Machine in a solo career . The story arc `` The Crossing '' reveals Iron Man as a traitor among the Avengers ' ranks , due to years of manipulation by the time - traveling dictator Kang the Conqueror . Stark , as a sleeper agent in Kang 's thrall , kills Marilla , the nanny of Crystal and Quicksilver 's daughter Luna , as well as Rita DeMara , the female Yellowjacket , then Amanda Chaney , an ally of the Avengers . The `` Avengers Forever '' limited series retcons these events as the work of a disguised Immortus , not Kang , and that the mental control had gone back only a few months . Needing help to defeat both Stark and Kang , the team travels back in time to recruit a teenaged Anthony Stark from an alternate timeline to assist them . The young Stark steals an Iron Man suit in order to aid the Avengers against his older self . The sight of his younger self shocks the older Stark enough for him to regain momentary control of his actions , and he sacrifices his life to stop Kang . The young Stark later builds his own suit to become the new Iron Man , and , remaining in the present day , gains legal control of `` his '' company . During the battle with the creature called Onslaught , the teenage Stark dies , along with many other superheroes . Franklin Richards preserves these `` dead '' heroes in the `` Heroes Reborn '' pocket universe , in which Stark is once again an adult hero ; Franklin recreates the heroes in the pocket universe in the forms he is most familiar with rather than what they are at the present . The reborn adult Stark , upon returning to the normal Marvel Universe , merges with the original Stark , who had died during `` The Crossing '' , but was resurrected by Franklin Richards . This new Anthony Stark possesses the memories of both the original and teenage Anthony Stark , and thus considers himself to be essentially both of them . With the aid of the law firm Nelson & Murdock , he regains his fortune and , with Stark Enterprises having been sold to the Fujikawa Corporation following Stark 's death , sets up a new company , Stark Solutions . He returns from the pocket universe with a restored and healthy heart . After the Avengers reform , Stark demands a hearing be convened to look into his actions just prior to the Onslaught incident . Cleared of wrongdoing , he rejoins the Avengers . 2000s ( edit ) At one point , Stark 's armor becomes sentient despite fail - safes to prevent its increasingly sophisticated computer systems from doing so . Initially , Stark welcomes this `` living '' armor for its improved tactical abilities . The armor begins to grow more aggressive , killing indiscriminately and eventually desiring to replace Stark altogether . In the final confrontation on a desert island , Stark suffers another heart attack . The armor sacrifices its own existence to save its creator 's life , giving up essential components to give Stark a new , artificial heart . This new heart solves Stark 's health problems , but it does not have an internal power supply , so Stark becomes once again dependent on periodic recharging . The sentient armor incident so disturbs Stark that he temporarily returns to using an unsophisticated early model version of his armor to avoid a repeat incident . He dabbles with using liquid metal circuitry known as S.K.I.N. that forms into a protective shell around his body , but eventually returns to more conventional hard metal armors . During this time , Stark engages in a romance with Rumiko Fujikawa , a wealthy heiress and daughter of the man who had taken over his company during the `` Heroes Reborn '' period . Her relationship with Stark endures many highs and lows , including infidelity with Stark 's rival , Tiberius Stone , in part because the fun - loving Rumiko believes that Stark is too serious and dull . Their relationship ends with Rumiko 's death at the hands of an Iron Man impostor in Iron Man ( vol. 3 ) # 87 . In Iron Man ( vol. 3 ) # 55 ( July 2002 ) , Stark publicly reveals his dual identity as Iron Man , not realizing that by doing so , he has invalidated the agreements protecting his armor from government duplication , since those contracts state that the Iron Man armor would be used by an employee of Tony Stark , not by Stark himself . When he discovers that the United States military is again using his technology , and its defective nature nearly causes a disaster in Washington , D.C. which Iron Man barely manages to avert , Stark accepts a Presidential appointment as Secretary of Defense . In this way , he hopes to monitor and direct how his designs are used . In the `` Avengers Disassembled '' storyline , Stark is forced to resign after launching into a tirade against the Latverian ambassador at the United Nations , being manipulated by the mentally imbalanced Scarlet Witch , who destroys Avengers Mansion and kills several members . Stark publicly stands down as Iron Man , but continues using the costume . He joins the Avengers in stopping the breakout in progress from the Raft and even saves Captain America from falling . Tony changes the Avengers base to Stark Tower . The Ghost , the Living Laser and Spymaster reappear and shift Iron Man from standard superhero stories to dealing with politics and industrialism . New Avengers : Illuminati # 1 ( June 2006 ) reveals that years before , Stark had participated with a secret group that included the Black Panther , Professor X , Mister Fantastic , Black Bolt , Doctor Strange , and Namor . The goal of the group ( dubbed the Illuminati by Marvel ) was to strategize overarching menaces , in which the Black Panther rejects a membership offer . Stark 's goal is to create a governing body for all superheroes in the world , but the beliefs of its members instead force them all to share vital information . `` Civil War '' ( edit ) In the `` Civil War '' storyline , after the actions of inexperienced superheroes the New Warriors result in the destruction of several city blocks in Stamford , Connecticut , there is an outcry across America against superhumans . Learning of the Government 's proposed plans , Tony Stark suggests a new plan to instigate a Superhuman Registration Act . The Act would force every superpowered individual in the U.S. to register their identity with the government and act as licensed agents . The Act would force inexperienced superhumans to receive training in how to use and control their abilities , something in which Tony strongly believes . Since his struggle with alcoholism , Stark has carried a tremendous burden of guilt after nearly killing an innocent bystander while piloting the armor drunk . While Reed Richards and Dr. Henry `` Hank '' Pym both agree with Stark 's proposal , not everyone does . After Captain America is ordered to bring in anyone who refuses to register , he and other anti-registration superheroes go rogue , coming into conflict with the pro-registration heroes , led by Iron Man . The war ends when Captain America surrenders to prevent further collateral damage and civilian casualties , although he had defeated Stark by defusing his armor . Stark is appointed the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D. , and organizes a new government - sanctioned group of Avengers . Shortly afterwards , Captain America is assassinated while in custody . This leaves Stark with a great amount of guilt and misgivings about the cost of his victory . `` Secret invasion '' ( edit ) To tie into the 2008 Iron Man feature film , Marvel launched a new Iron Man ongoing series , The Invincible Iron Man , with writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larroca . The series inaugural six - part storyline was `` The Five Nightmares '' , which saw Stark targeted by Ezekiel Stane , the son of Stark 's former nemesis , Obadiah Stane . In the `` Secret Invasion '' storyline , after Tony Stark survives an attempt by Ultron to take over his body , he is confronted in the hospital by Spider - Woman , holding the corpse of a Skrull posing as Elektra . Realizing this is the start of an invasion by the Skrulls , Tony reveals the corpse to the Illuminati and declares that they are at war . After Black Bolt reveals himself as a Skrull and is killed by Namor , a squadron of Skrulls attack , forcing Tony to evacuate the other Illuminati members and destroy the area , killing all the Skrulls . Realizing that they are incapable of trusting each other , the members all separate to form individual plans for the oncoming invasion . Stark is discredited and publicly vilified after his inability to anticipate or prevent the secret infiltration and invasion of Earth by the Skrulls , and by the Skrull disabling of his StarkTech technology , which had a virtual monopoly on worldwide defense . After the invasion , the U.S. government removes him as head of S.H.I.E.L.D. and disbands the Avengers , handing control of the Initiative over to Norman Osborn . `` Dark reign '' ( edit ) Main article : Dark Reign ( comics ) See also : The Invincible Iron Man With his Extremis powers failing , Stark uploads a virus to destroy all records of the Registration Act , thus preventing Osborn from learning the identities of his fellow heroes and anything that Osborn could use , including his repulsor generators . The only copy of the database is in Stark 's brain , which he tries to delete while on the run from Osborn . Stark goes so far as to inflict brain damage on himself in order to ensure that the relevant information is wiped . When Osborn catches up to the debilitated Stark and beats him savagely , Pepper Potts broadcasts the beatings worldwide , costing Osborn credibility and giving Stark public sympathy . Stark goes into a vegetative state , having previously granted Donald Blake ( alter ego of the superhero Thor ) power of attorney . A holographic message stored in Pepper 's armor reveals that Stark had developed a means of ' rebooting ' his mind from his current state prior to his destruction of the database , with Blake and Bucky resolving to use it to restore him to normal . Meanwhile , Stark is trapped in his subconscious , where figments of his own mind prevent him from returning to the waking world . When the procedure fails to work , Bucky calls in Doctor Strange , who succeeds in restoring Stark back to consciousness . The backup Stark created was made prior to the Civil War , and as such he does not remember anything that took place during the event , although he still concludes after reviewing his past actions that he would not have done anything differently . His brain damage means he is now dependent on an arc reactor to sustain his body 's autonomous functions . 2010s ( edit ) `` Siege '' ( edit ) Main article : Siege ( comics ) In the `` Siege '' storyline , Tony Stark is seen under the care of Dr. Donald Blake and Maria Hill when Asgard is attacked . Thor is ambushed by Osborn and the Sentry , but rescued by Hill . Osborn declares martial law and unleashes Daken and the Sentry on Broxton to root out Thor and Hill . Hill returns to Stark 's hiding place to move him to a safer location and are joined by Speed of the Young Avengers , who has a set of Iron Man 's MK III armor that Edwin Jarvis had given Captain America . While Osborn is battling the New Avengers , Stark appears and disables Osborn 's Iron Patriot armor . Osborn orders the Sentry to annihilate Asgard , rather than allow the Avengers to have it . After Asgard falls , Stark stands alongside his fellow heroes , as Osborn exclaims they are all doomed and he ' was saving them from him ' pointing up towards a Void - possessed Sentry . As the Void tears apart the teams , Loki gives them the power to fight back through the Norn Stones . The Void kills Loki , enraging Thor . Tony tells Thor to get the Void away from Asgard , which allows Tony to drop a commandeered H.A.M.M.E.R. Helicarrier on the Void . Thor is forced to killed Sentry when the Void resurfaces . Sometime later , the Super-Human Registration Act is repealed and Tony is given back his company and armor . As a symbol for their heroics and their new unity , Thor places an Asgardian tower on Stark Tower where the Watchtower once stood . `` Heroic Age '' ( edit ) Main article : Heroic Age ( comics ) In the 2010 - 2011 `` Stark : Resilient '' storyline , Tony builds the Bleeding Edge armor with the help of Mister Fantastic . This new armor fully uses the repulsor tech battery embedded in his chest to power Tony 's entire body and mind , thus allowing him access to Extremis once more . Furthermore , the battery operates as his `` heart '' and is predominantly the only thing keeping him alive . Tony announces he will form a new company , Stark Resilient . He states that he will no longer develop weapons , but will use his repulsor technology to give free energy to the world . Justine and Sasha Hammer create their own armored hero , Detroit Steel , to take Stark 's place as the Army 's leading weapons - builder . Stark 's plan consists of building two repulsor - powered cars . The Hammers try to foil his efforts . The first car is destroyed by sabotage , while Detroit Steel attacks Stark Resilient 's facilities while Tony tests the second car . Through a legal maneuver , Tony is able to get the Hammers to stop their attacks and releases a successful commercial about his new car . `` Fear Itself '' ( edit ) In the 2011 `` Fear Itself '' storyline , Earth is attacked by the Serpent , the God of Fear and the long - forgotten brother of Odin . In Paris , Iron Man fights Grey Gargoyle , who has become Mokk , Breaker of Faith , one of the Serpent 's Worthy . Mokk leaves Iron Man unconscious and transforms Detroit Steel and the citizens of Paris into stone . To defeat the Serpent 's army , Tony drinks a bottle of wine ( thus ' sacrificing ' his sobriety ) to gain an audience with Odin , who allows Tony to enter the realm of Svartalfheim . Tony and the dwarves of Svartalfheim build enchanted weapons . Tony upgrades his armor with uru - infused enchantments and delivers the finished weapons to the Avengers , who use them for the final battle against the Serpent 's forces . Iron Man watches as Thor kills the Serpent , but dies in the process . After the battle is over , Tony melts down the weapons he created and repairs Captain America 's shield , which had been broken by Serpent , and gives it back to Captain America . During a subsequent argument with Odin about the gods ' lack of involvement in the recent crisis , Odin gives Tony a brief opportunity to see the vastness of the universe the way he sees it . As thanks for Tony 's role in the recent crisis , Odin restores all the people that the Grey Gargoyle killed during his rampage . Return of the Mandarin and Marvel now ! ( edit ) In the storylines `` Demon '' and `` The Long Way Down '' , Stark is subpoenaed by the U.S. government after evidence surfaces of him using the Iron Man armor while under the influence . Mandarin and Zeke Stane upgrade some of Iron Man 's old enemies and send them to commit acts of terrorism across the world , intending to discredit Iron Man . General Bruce Babbage forces Stark to wear a tech governor , a device that allows Babbage to deactivate Stark 's armor whenever he wants . To fight back , Tony undergoes a surgical procedure that expels the Bleeding Edge technology out of his body and replaces his repulsor node with a new model , forcing Babbage to remove the tech governor off his chest . He announces his retirement as Iron Man , faking Rhodes ' death and giving him a new armor so that he becomes the new Iron Man . This leads into the next storyline , `` The Future '' , in which the Mandarin takes control of Stark 's mind and uses him to create new armored bodies for the alien spirits inhabiting his rings , but Stark allies himself with some of his old enemies , who have also been imprisoned by Mandarin , and manages to defeat him . The final issue of this storyline concluded Matt Fraction 's series . In the ongoing series that premiered in 2012 as part of the Marvel NOW ! relaunch , Tony Stark has hit a technological ceiling . After the death of Dr. Maya Hansen and the destruction of all of the Extremis Version 2 kits that were being sold to the black market , Tony decides that the Earth is not safe without him learning more from what 's in the final frontier . He takes his new suit , enhanced with an artificial intelligence named P.E.P.P.E.R. and joins Peter Quill and The Guardians of the Galaxy after helping them thwart a Badoon attack on Earth . Superior Iron Man ( edit ) Tony Stark 's personality is inverted during the events of AXIS , bringing out more dark aspects of himself like irresponsibility , egotism and alcoholism . Stark relocates to San Francisco and builds a new , all - white armor . He supplies the citizens of San Francisco with the Extremis 3.0 app , a version of the techno - virus that offers beauty , health or even immortality , free . When every person in the city viewed Iron Man as a messiah for making their dreams come true , he ended the free trial mode and started charging a daily fee of $99.99 , causing many to resort to crime as way to pay for the upgrade . Daredevil confronts Stark at his new Alcatraz Island penthouse , but is easily brushed off . Iron Man uses Extremis 3.0 to temporarily restore Daredevil 's sight , just to prove his point . Daredevil deduces that Stark had added Extremis to the water supply and the phones only transmit an activation signal , but Stark subjects Murdock to minor brain damage to prevent him from sharing this revelation with others . After discovering that new villain Teen Abomination is the son of Happy Hogan , Stark decides to help him , but this minor act of redemption is too late for Pepper Potts , who attacks Stark with the aid of an A.I. based on Stark 's mind . This culminates in a confrontation between the two Starks , as Stark calls on the unwitting aid of all ' infected ' with the Extremis upgrade while the A.I. uses Stark 's various old armors to attack him . Although Stark technically wins the battle as he destroys his other armors and deletes the A.I. backup , Pepper states that she plans to reveal the truth about his goals with Extremis , bluntly informing him that if he continues his Extremis upgrade project , he will have to do it alone , accepting his fate of being regarded as a monster by all who know him . Time runs out ( edit ) During the `` Time Runs Out '' storyline , an attempt at reclaiming Wakanda from the Cabal that Namor had created to destroy incursive Earths results in Tony being held captive in the Necropolis . After the Cabal are apparently killed , the Illuminati free Tony , who is forced to flee due to the Illuminati 's unwillingness to let Stark be there with them when they meet Rogers and the Avengers . When the Shi'ar and their allies arrive to destroy Earth , the Avengers and the Illuminati unsuccessfully try to retaliate . Iron Man uses Sol 's Hammer to destroy the fleet . The incursions continue , and Rogers confronts Stark about what he knows . A fight ensues between them and Stark admits that he had lied and had known about the incursions all along . During the final incursion , Earth - 1610 's S.H.I.E.L.D. launches a full - scale attack on Earth - 616 , during which Stark and Rogers are crushed by a Helicarrier . All - new , all - different Marvel ( edit ) After the events of the Secret Wars crossover , Stark returns to his normal self with no signs of his inverted personality . Eight months following the return of the universe as seen in the `` All - New , All - Different Marvel '' event , Tony works in his laboratory non-stop after his position as an innovator had been put in doubt . Because an M.I.T. student reverse - engineered some of his technology , Stark develops a new armor which can change shape according to the situation he would find himself . When Stark 's new A.I. Friday informs him that Madame Masque has broken into the ruins of Castle Doom , he travels to Latveria to investigate and runs into some revolutionaries who are then defeated by a man in a suit . To his amazement , Iron Man 's armor computer identifies him as Victor von Doom with his face restored . Victor claims that he wanted to help Iron Man . After learning from Doctor Doom that Madame Masque has taken a decoy of the Wand of Watoomb , Tony Stark confronts Madame Masque . Upon learning that Madame Masque is not allied with Doctor Doom , Tony is attacked by her with a burst of energy that damages his armor . Friday manages to gain control of the suit and takes Tony to a safe location . Iron Man tracks Madame Masque to Marina del Rey . After finding a tape recorder with her messages , Tony is attacked by several black silhouettes with swords . Iron Man escapes the ninjas that are attacking him and manages to defeat most of them , but they kill themselves before he can interrogate any of them . Iron Man and Doctor Doom arrive at Mary Jane Watson 's newest Chicago night club Jackpot when Madame Masque attacks it . As Mary Jane distracts Madame Masque by knocking off her mask , Iron Man and Doctor Doom discover that Madame Masque is possessed by a demon . Doctor Doom is able to perform an exorcism on her . Doctor Strange arrives and tells Iron Man he will take Madame Masque with him to fix her metaphysically and then hand her over at S.H.I.E.L.D. Iron Man also informs him of Doctor Doom 's help who had left the scene some time ago . Three days later , Iron Man offers Mary Jane a job to make up for the damage to her nightclub . After speaking with War Machine , Tony Stark meets up at a diner with Amara Perera when they are unexpectedly joined by Victor von Doom who wanted to make sure that the demonic possession that affected Madame Masque has not affected Stark or Amara . Stark shows Mary Jane the demonstration on the people that he will be working with . They are interrupted by Friday who tells Tony that War Machine is missing . Before heading to Tokyo , Tony receives from Mary Jane the emergency number for Peter Parker . In Tokyo , Iron Man is contacted by Spider - Man at War Machine 's last known location as he is being observed by ninjas . During the Civil War II storyline , Iron Man protests the logic of using precognitive powers to stop future crimes after the recently emerged Inhuman Ulysses predicted Thanos ' attack on Project Pegasus . Three weeks later , Iron Man is summoned to the Triskelion after War Machine is killed in battle against Thanos . When Iron Man learns that War Machine and the Ultimates used Ulysses ' power to ambush Thanos , he vows to stop anyone from using that power again . Iron Man infiltrates New Attilan and makes off with Ulysses . At Stark Tower , Iron Man vows to find out how Ulysses ' precognition works . The Inhumans attack Stark Tower but are stopped by the Avengers , the Ultimates , and S.H.I.E.L.D. During the confrontation , Ulysses has another vision which he projects to Iron Man and everyone present , showing a rampaging Hulk standing over the corpses of the defeated superheroes . The heroes confront Banner , who is killed by Hawkeye . Barton claims that Banner was about to transform and Banner had previously asked Hawkeye to kill him if he should turn back into the Hulk . Tony is disgusted at this use of Ulysses ' power . When his analysis of Ulysses brain is completed , Tony reveals that Ulysses does not actually see the future , but simply assembles large quantities of data to project likely outcomes . While Danvers continues to use the visions as a resource , Tony objects to the concept of profiling people . This results in a stand - off when Tony 's side abducts a woman from custody after Ulysses ' visions identified her as a deep - cover HYDRA agent , despite the lack of supporting evidence . Iron Man learns that his biological mother was actually Amanda Armstrong , who had given him up for adoption . S.H.I.E.L.D. had Armstrong 's baby adopted by Howard and Maria Stark . Marvel now ! 2016 ( edit ) In July 2016 , it was announced that Tony Stark would hand off the mantle of Iron Man to a 15 - year - old girl named Riri Williams . Riri is an MIT student who built her own Iron Man suit out of scrap pieces and , as such , attracted Stark 's attention . Early depictions of Williams ' suit depict it without the Arc Reactor , but leaves the power source for the suit unclear . Another Iron Man - based series titled Infamous Iron Man debuted featuring Doctor Doom sporting his version of the Iron Man armor . This is revealed to be the result of serious injuries sustained by Stark during his final confrontation with Captain Marvel . Danvers ' beating leaves Stark in a coma , but he is left alive due to unspecified experiments Stark has carried out on himself over the years . Existing as an A.I. ( edit ) Following the revelation that Stark experimented on himself at the end of Civil War II , Beast concludes that the only option is to let the experiments do their job in healing Tony and recover on his own . In Invincible Iron Man # 1 , an employee of Stark sends Riri Williams an artificial intelligence housing a copy of Tony Stark 's consciousness to help her control and mentor in her own version of the Iron Man armor . This A.I. is directly copied from Tony 's brain , granting sentience , with Williams commenting on Stark existing as a `` techno - ghost '' . As an A.I. , Stark can walk around as a hard - light object and gains the ability to remote control his vast armory of Iron Man suits . In Captain Marvel # 3 , the Tony Stark A.I. goes to Antarctica and visits Captain Marvel with the intent on settling their differences from the Second Civil War , she apologizes to him for her regrets , reconciles with him eventually and they become allies once more . Then in Secret Empire , the Tony Stark A.I. suits up as Iron Man once again and learns of Captain America 's betrayal to Hydra and how he ended up like this . As Hydra tightens its grip across America , the Tony Stark A.I. leads a team known as the Underground to find the Cosmic Cubes to restore Rogers to his normal self . When things start to escalate , Tony and his crew go rogue and in search for answers for the Cube . As Iron Man and the Underground search for them they are intercepted by Captain America and his Hydra team . With both teams encountering each other , they are captured by the Ultron / Hank Pym hybrid , who forces both teams to sit at a dinner table . During `` dinner '' , Ultron reveals information about the Hydra Avengers - such as Odinson working with Hydra to reclaim Mjolnir , Scarlet Witch being possessed by Chthon , and Vision being affected by an A.I. virus . Ultron argues that he is doing this because the Avengers have become less of a family over the years as so many of them jump to obey Captain America or Iron Man , despite past experience confirming that this is not always a good idea , but Tony counters that the only reason the team failed as a family was because of Hank 's abuse towards Wasp . Enraged , Ultron is about to kill everyone , but Ant - Man is able to calm him down by arguing that Hank remains his own inspiration . Ultron allows the Underground to leave with the fragment , arguing that neither side should have an advantage over the other . Back in America , Hydra Supreme has put Namor in a position where he will be forced to sign a peace treaty that gives Rogers access to the Cosmic Cube fragment in Atlantis , but Hydra Supreme muses that he is unconcerned about who will acquire the fragments , as he has an inside man in the Underground . After the Mount was attacked by Thor and the resurrected Hulk led by Hydra , the Underground evacuated the civilians thanks to Hawkeye and the rest of the heroes . Captain America and Iron Man fight as the Mount collapses around them . The Tony Stark A.I. initiates the Mount 's `` Clean Slate Protocol '' , and blows up the Mount , killing Madame Hydra , then apologizes to Steve Rogers about their past differences , but the A.I survives and , in the aftermath , helps the heroes pull the pieces back together to take down Hydra . When the heroes confront Hydra Supreme , they are easily overpowered by him and watch the original Captain America defeat his Hydra self and into celebrating their victory . Marvel Legacy ( edit ) Mary Jane Watson and other Stark employees find that Stark 's body has completely vanished from its pod , despite tests taken mere hours ago showing no sign of improvement or brain activity . Powers , abilities , and equipment ( edit ) Armor ( edit ) See also : Iron Man 's armor The Bleeding Edge Armor , like the Extremis Armor before it , is stored in Stark 's bones , and can be assembled and controlled by his thoughts Iron Man possesses powered armor that gives him superhuman strength and durability , flight , and an array of weapons . The armor is invented and worn by Stark ( with occasional short - term exceptions ) . Other people who have assumed the Iron Man identity include Stark 's long - time partner and best friend James Rhodes ; close associates Harold `` Happy '' Hogan ; Eddie March ; ( briefly ) Michael O'Brien and Riri Williams . The weapons systems of the suit have changed over the years , but Iron Man 's standard offensive weapons have always been the repulsor rays that are fired from the palms of his gauntlets . Other weapons built into various incarnations of the armor include : the uni-beam projector in its chest ; pulse bolts ( that pick up kinetic energy along the way ; so the farther they travel , the harder they hit ) ; an electromagnetic pulse generator ; and a defensive energy shield that can be extended up to 360 degrees . Other capabilities include : generating ultra-freon ( i.e. , a freeze - beam ) ; creating and manipulating magnetic fields ; emitting sonic blasts ; and projecting 3 - dimensional holograms ( to create decoys ) . In addition to the general - purpose model he wears , Stark has developed several specialized suits for space travel , deep - sea diving , stealth , and other special purposes . Stark has modified suits , like the Hulkbuster heavy armor . The Hulkbuster armor is composed of add - ons to his so - called modular armor , designed to enhance its strength and durability enough to engage the Hulk in a fight . A later model , created with the help of Odin and the Asgardian metal Uru , is similar to the Destroyer . Stark develops an electronics pack during the Armor Wars that , when attached to armors that use Stark technologies , will burn out those components , rendering the suit useless . This pack is ineffective on later models . While it is typically associated with James Rhodes , the War Machine armor began as one of Stark 's specialty armors . The most recent models of Stark 's armor , beginning with the Extremis armor , are now stored in the hollow portions of Stark 's bones , and the personal area networking implement used to control it is implanted into his forearm , and connected directly to his central nervous system . The Extremis has since been removed , and he now uses more conventional armors . Some armors still take a liquid form , but are not stored within his body . His Endo - Sym Armor incorporates a combination of the liquid smart - metal with the alien Venom symbiote , psionically controlled by Stark . Post-Secret Wars , Stark uses a more streamlined suit of armor that can practically `` morph '' into other armors or weapons . Powers ( edit ) After being critically injured during a battle with the Extremis - enhanced Mallen , Stark injects his nervous system with modified techno - organic virus - like body restructuring machines ( the Extremis process ) . By rewriting his own biology , Stark is able to save his life , gain an enhanced healing factor , and partially merge with the Iron Man armor , superseding the need for bulky , AI - controlled armors in favor of lighter designs , technopathically controlled by his own brain . His enhanced technopathy extends to every piece of technology , limitless and effortlessly due to his ability to interface with communication satellites and wireless connections to increase his `` range '' . Some components of the armor - sheath are now stored in Tony 's body , able to be recalled , and extruded from his own skin , at will . During the `` Secret Invasion '' storyline the Extremis package is catastrophically shut down by a virus , forcing him again to rely on the previous iteration of his armor , and restoring his previous limitations . Furthermore , Osborn 's takeover of most of the few remaining Starktech factories , with Ezekiel Stane systematically crippling the others , limits Tony to the use of lesser , older and weaker armors . After being forced to `` wipe out '' his brain to prevent Norman Osborn from gaining his information , Tony Stark is forced to have a new arc reactor , of Rand design installed in his chest . The process greatly improves his strength , stamina and intellect . The procedure left him with virtually no autonomic functions : as his brain was stripped of every biological function , Tony is forced to rely on a digital backup of his memories ( leaving him with severe gaps and lapses in his long - term memory ) and on software routine in the arc reactor for basic stimuli reaction , such as blinking and breathing . The Bleeding Edge package of armor and physical enhancement is now equal in power , if not a more advanced , version of the old Extremis tech . Skills ( edit ) Tony Stark is an inventive genius whose expertise in the fields of mathematics , physics , chemistry , and computer science rivals that of Reed Richards , Hank Pym , and Bruce Banner , and his expertise in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering surpasses even theirs . He is regarded as one of the most intelligent characters in the Marvel Universe . He graduated with advanced degrees in physics and engineering at the age of 17 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) and further developed his knowledge ranging from artificial intelligence to quantum mechanics as time progressed . His expertise extends to his ingenuity in dealing with difficult situations , such as difficult foes and deathtraps , in which he is capable of using available tools , including his suit , in unorthodox but effective ways . He is well respected in the business world , able to command people 's attention when he speaks on economic matters , having over the years built up several multimillion - dollar companies from virtually nothing . He is noted for the loyalty he commands from and returns to those who work for him , as well as for his business ethics . Thus he immediately fired an employee who made profitable , but illegal , sales to Doctor Doom . He strives to be environmentally responsible in his businesses . At a time when Stark was unable to use his armor for a period , he received some combat training from Captain America and has become physically formidable on his own when the situation demands it . In addition , Stark possesses great business and political acumen . On multiple occasions he reacquired control of his companies after losing them amid corporate takeovers . Due to his membership in the Illuminati , Iron Man was given the Space Infinity Gem to safeguard . It allows the user to exist in any location ( or all locations ) , move any object anywhere throughout the universe and warp or rearrange space .

what is iron man's comic figure real name
[ "A wealthy American business magnate, playboy, and ingenious scientist, Anthony Edward \"Tony\" Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. He instead creates a powered suit of armor to save his life and escape captivity. Later, Stark augments his suit with weapons and other technological devices he designed through his company, Stark Industries. He uses the suit and successive versions to protect the world as Iron Man, while at first concealing his true identity. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and industry in the fight against communism.[1] Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War motifs to contemporary matters of the time.[1]" ]
