-8239083273859541916 | Quarterback U | Quarterback U - wikipedia Quarterback U Jump to : navigation , search Quarterback U is a nickname used by sportswriters to refer to colleges that have trained a series of notable football quarterbacks ( QBs ) . It is a literary device invoked in the individual discretion of sportswriters and does not represent any formal decision - making process or organized sportswriters ' poll . Generally speaking , the term implies that many of the school 's former quarterbacks later had successful careers in professional football , particularly in the National Football League ( NFL ) . A Wall Street Journal article on November 18 , 2012 , pointed out that ' Purdue may be the ultimate Quarterback U . Since the 1970 merger ( between the AFL and NFL ) , quarterbacks from Purdue have started 724 NFL games , easily the most of any major - conference program . ' After Purdue QBs ' 724 NFL games , the next best schools were the University of Washington ( 623 starts ) , Miami ( 573 ) , University of Southern California ( 547 ) and Notre Dame ( 543 ) . In August 2009 , an Altoona Mirror writer sought to name `` Quarterback U '' by player achievements , such as NFL starts , Pro Bowl appearances , and Heisman Trophies won . He noted that , in the Super Bowl era , USC ( 15 ) , Notre Dame ( 13 ) , Washington ( 12 ) , Miami ( 10 ) , Stanford ( 10 ) , and UCLA ( 10 ) produced at least ten starting NFL quarterbacks , while Purdue recorded the most combined NFL career starts ( 704 ) . The article concluded that no single program deserved the title significantly more than others . Contents ( hide ) 1 Examples 1.1 Brigham Young University 1.2 Purdue University 1.3 Stanford University 1.4 Texas Tech University 1.5 University of Maryland 1.6 University of Miami 1.7 University of Michigan 1.8 University of Southern California 1.9 University of Washington 2 References Examples ( edit ) Brigham Young University ( edit ) Sports writers dubbed the BYU as a Quarterback U from the mid-1980s through the 1990s , during which time it produced Jim McMahon , Steve Young , Gifford Nielsen , Robbie Bosco and Ty Detmer . The Deseret News wrote that the last great BYU signal caller was 2001 Heisman Trophy runner - up Brandon Doman , who also later served as the Cougars ' offensive coordinator . It also asserted that , upon Doman 's graduation , head coach Gary Crowton rotated quarterbacks so frequently that it adversely affected their performance . Purdue University ( edit ) In the 1960s , Purdue became known as ' Quarterback U ' and ' Cradle of Quarterbacks ' by media and rivals such as Ohio State and Notre Dame due to its prominent QBs . Between 1967 and 1974 , Purdue QBs Len Dawson and Bob Griese started five Super Bowls , winning three ; Cecil Isbell led the Green Bay Packers to a NFL title in 1939 , Elmer Oliphant led the Buffalo All - Americans to a disputed NFL title in 1921 ; Purdue has produced NFL starting QBs in Mike Phipps , Gary Danielson , Jim Everett , Mark Hermann , and Kyle Orton ; Scott Campbell and Curtis Painter were well - known backup quarterbacks , Joey Elliott is a starting QB in the Canadian Football League . The tradition has continued through to this day with Drew Brees winning the Super Bowl XLIV , in which he was also named MVP. 15 Purdue QBs went on to the NFL ; Purdue is tied for first with Alabama in producing Super Bowl winning quarterbacks . According to ESPN.com , Purdue QBs have won ( and started ) more NFL games than any other school ; thrown for the most touchdowns and yards in the NFL . Purdue QBs have won more League TD titles ( 14 through the 2012 NFL season ) than any other school . Stanford University ( edit ) As early as 1975 , the term Quarterback U had been applied to Stanford University , which had produced such players as Frankie Albert , John Brodie , Jim Plunkett , Don Bunce , and Mike Boryla . This reputation was enhanced when Bill Walsh joined the Cardinal as head coach , and quarterbacks Guy Benjamin , Steve Dils , and Turk Schonert promptly led the NCAA in passing in 1977 , 1978 , and 1979 . They were followed by perhaps Stanford 's best - known quarterback , John Elway , who played at the university from 1979 to 1982 , finishing second in the Heisman voting his senior season . Elway would go on to have a Hall of Fame career with the Broncos and win the Super Bowl in 1997 and 1998 . By 1989 , the San Jose Mercury News surmised that Stanford 's `` once bright legacy '' as Quarterback U appeared `` to be flickering out '' . However , recently Stanford 's quarterback tradition has experienced something of a revival under Andrew Luck . Luck finished second in the voting for the Heisman trophy , the award given to college football 's most outstanding player , in both 2010 and 2011 . When drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2012 NFL Draft , he became the fourth Stanford quarterback taken with the first overall pick , following Elway , Plunkett and Bobby Garrett , but the first since Elway was taken by the Colts in 1983 . Stanford quarterbacks have started 7 Super Bowls , winning 4 , and garnering two Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Awards . Texas Tech University ( edit ) In 2005 , a Sporting News writer described Texas Tech as Quarterback U in an article that bestowed several positional `` U '' monikers with the criteria being college performance since 2000 . Its author cited head coach Mike Leach 's numerous 4,000 - yard - plus passers . University of Maryland ( edit ) During the 1980s , the term was also applied to Maryland , which produced several NFL - caliber quarterbacks during the tenures of head coach Bobby Ross and offensive coordinator and quarterbacks / receivers coach Joe Krivak . These Maryland quarterbacks included Boomer Esiason , Frank Reich , Neil O'Donnell , Scott Zolak , and Stan Gelbaugh . In 2005 , The Washington Post reapplied the label to the Terrapins under head coach Ralph Friedgen and offensive coordinator Charlie Taaffe , after Sam Hollenbach became the Atlantic Coast Conference 's leading passer . That coaching staff also groomed Shaun Hill and Scott McBrien . University of Miami ( edit ) In the 1980s , the term was often applied to the University of Miami . In 2003 , Tracy Gale , a sport publicist working for the University of Miami , named Fran Curci , who was Miami 's quarterback in 1959 , as the start of what he called `` Miami 's Quarterback U tradition . '' George Mira , Jim Kelly , Bernie Kosar , Vinny Testaverde , Steve Walsh , Ken Dorsey , Craig Erickson , and Gino Torretta are some Hurricanes quarterbacks that influenced his use of the term . The term is still often applied , although Miami currently has fewer quarterbacks starting in the NFL than it has in the past . In 2008 , all three Miami quarterbacks entered the season with no game experience , and pundits charged head coach Randy Shannon with rebuilding the program 's reputation of producing high - quality signalcallers . University of Michigan ( edit ) In recent years , sportswriters have mentioned several schools as being appropriate for the designation . A 2005 ESPN article cited that , since 1988 , Michigan sent as many starting quarterbacks to the NFL as the University of Miami . It argued that `` three yards and a cloud of dust '' is no longer the offensive philosophy at Michigan . A year later , Rivals.com proclaimed that Michigan was `` the new Quarterback U . '' Elvis Grbac , Todd Collins , Tom Brady , Jim Harbaugh , Brian Griese and Chad Henne are some of the Wolverine quarterbacks who have gone on to start in the NFL . University of Southern California ( edit ) After the 2008 season , The Los Angeles Times claimed that USC , more traditionally known as `` Tailback U '' , was the school most deserving of the designation . In 2009 , 4 former USC quarterbacks started in an NFL game : Matt Leinart , Matt Cassell , Carson Palmer , and Mark Sanchez . University of Washington ( edit ) Washington quarterbacks have consistently advanced to the NFL , with 16 of the previous 18 starting quarterbacks as of 2012 having started in the NFL . Washington 's Pro Football Hall of Fame member Warren Moon is fourth in all - time passing yardage , reflecting his CFL and NFL careers . Other notable alumni include Chris Chandler , Mark Brunell , Damon Huard and Jake Locker . ESPN points to the program 's history by the early 1980s .

Timberlake will tour Europe after the first North American leg , then will tour North America again starting in the fall . The third North American leg will begin in January 2019 . Show ( edit ) During a portion of the concert , Timberlake and his band the `` Tennessee Kids '' sing around a campfire . The `` Stage Bar '' VIP Experience on the tour includes a bar near the center stage , and a drink ticket . A disco dance floor is near the stage , where Timberlake performs `` Rock Your Body '' Commercial performance ( edit ) In May 2018 , Billboard reported grosses totalling $36.6 million from the first five weeks , with 255,780 attendees at 16 shows , thus reaching number one on the magazine 's weekly ranking Hot Tours . The magazine expects the tour to reach a total of $275 million and 2 million attendees by the time it concludes .

Timberlake 's September 20 night concert at Rupp Arena grossed $2 million , making it the highest - grossing one - night concert in the arena 's history , besting the previous record set by the Eagles , which grossed $1.8 million in June 2015 . Critical reception ( edit ) Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids performing in Miami . Toronto Star journalist Nick Krewen , who attended the opening date , gave it a score of four - out - of - four , writing `` ( the ) stellar tour kickoff delivers the hits and the spectacle ... Even with some of the most elaborate , sophisticated visual technology available at his disposal , pop superstar Justin Timberlake managed to have his campfire moment at the Air Canada Centre Tuesday night . With a literal campfire . '' Chicago Tribune 's Bob Gendron , who attended the show at the United Center , praised the spectacle and said `` Parade leader . Spurned lover . Assertive dancer . Down - on - his - knees relationship savior . Bartender who handed shots out to his large ensemble . Outdoors lover who gathered around a campfire to play familiar songs . Timberlake embraced an array of roles , blurring the lines between entertainer , singer and actor . '' Adam Graham of the Detroit News wrote it `` was an engrossing spectacle that turned the arena into his personal wooded playland ; no concert artist has come close to using Little Caesars Arena 's space this creatively , save for perhaps Lady Gaga . ( ... ) Timberlake was cool and commanding , taking the stage in a jean jacket and track pants and still looking like he owned the place . '' Graham also praised Timberlake 's band the Tennessee Kids , `` ( they ) became his own E Street Band -- there were times , especially when the band turned around and played to the fans at the back of the arena , that the show recalled a Bruce Springsteen concert . '' For GQ , Alim Kheraj , after attending the concert at London 's O2 Arena , deemed Timberlake `` one of the greatest live performers of all time . '' He considered `` Timberlake and the Man of the Woods Tour has as its secret weapon : captivation . With more than two decades of experience in the entertainment industry , he knows how to maintain an audience 's attention , how to mould them so they 're pumped at his signals and ( mostly ) when to take his foot off the accelerator . ( ... ) Similarly , unlike a legacy artist , his show is still exciting , carefully crafted to bring fans the best in audio - visual technology while ensuring that , musically , things line up too . '' Timberlake on stage in February 2018 . Franklin Soults of The Boston Globe described the first half of the show as `` ritzy glamour , '' with the `` undercut with casual outfits and attitudes that made the extravaganza feel almost relaxed , like a professional athlete 's seemingly effortless performance during a career - topping late season . '' Despite describing the sing - along around the campfire as `` clumsy , '' he did believe that Timberlake won the crowd back towards the end of the show . The Oakland Press ' Gary Graff said `` You 'd be hard - pressed to find a production that makes full use of an arena in as complete a way as Timberlake is doing '' and opined `` the whole affair was tightly choreographed to appear precision at times , loose and improvisational at others . Timberlake and company were best when they were at their funkiest . '' Peter Larsen in Daily Breeze said in his review that Timberlake delivered `` with swagger and style in a terrific night at the Forum , '' and noted the opening act The Shadowboxers `` surely won over many with their energetic performance . '' Jimmie Tramel of Tulsa World said Timberlake brought `` cool factor '' to BOK Center , and noted his `` appeal is such that among those spotted walking into the arena was state senator and former University of Tulsa football coach David Rader . '' Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic said `` there were plenty of breathtaking nature scenes projected on the scrims that dotted the arena , '' while `` it felt more like a night at the club in downtown Phoenix than a trip to Payson , '' about Timberlake he commented , `` he 's only gotten better , as he proved repeatedly in the course of a heavily choreographed performance . His sense of showmanship has also gotten stronger through the years . '' Setlist ( edit ) The following set list is from the show on March 13 , 2018 , in Toronto . It is not representative of all concerts for the duration of the tour . `` Filthy '' `` Midnight Summer Jam '' `` LoveStoned '' `` SexyBack '' `` Man of the Woods '' `` Higher Higher '' `` Señorita '' `` Suit & Tie '' ( contains elements of `` Sho Nuff '' ) `` SoulMate '' ( European leg only ) `` My Love '' `` Cry Me a River '' `` Mirrors '' `` Drink You Away '' `` Flannel '' ( cut from the set after August 2 , 2018 ) `` Until the End of Time '' `` Dreams '' / `` Ex-Factor '' / `` Come Together '' / `` Thank God I 'm a Country Boy '' ( each sung by a backup singer ) `` Morning Light '' `` What Goes Around ...

Contested by 20 clubs , it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League ( EFL ) . The Premier League is a corporation in which the member clubs act as shareholders . Seasons run from August to May with each team playing 38 matches ( playing each other home and away ) . Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons . It is often known outside England as the English Premier League ( EPL ) . The competition was formed as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of clubs in the Football League First Division to break away from the Football League , founded in 1888 , and take advantage of a lucrative television rights deal . The deal was worth £ 1 billion a year domestically as of 2013 -- 14 , with BSkyB and BT Group securing the domestic rights to broadcast 116 and 38 games respectively . The league generates € 2.2 billion per year in domestic and international television rights . In 2014 -- 15 , teams were apportioned revenues of £ 1.6 billion , rising sharply to £ 2.4 billion in 2016 -- 17 . The Premier League is the most - watched sports league in the world , broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people . In the 2014 -- 15 season , the average Premier League match attendance exceeded 36,000 , second highest of any professional football league behind the Bundesliga 's 43,500 . Most stadium occupancies are near capacity . The Premier League ranks third in the UEFA coefficients of leagues based on performances in European competitions over the past five seasons , as of 2016 . Forty - nine clubs have competed since the inception of the Premier League in 1992 . Six of them have won the title : Manchester United ( 13 ) , Chelsea ( 5 ) , Arsenal ( 3 ) , Manchester City ( 3 ) , Blackburn Rovers ( 1 ) , and Leicester City ( 1 ) . Following the 2003 -- 04 season , Arsenal acquired the nickname `` The Invincibles '' as they became , and still remain , the only club to complete a Premier League campaign without losing a single game . The record of most points in a season is 100 by Manchester City in 2017 -- 18 .

Stadiums were crumbling , supporters endured poor facilities , hooliganism was rife , and English clubs were banned from European competition for five years following the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985 . The Football League First Division , the top level of English football since 1888 , was behind leagues such as Italy 's Serie A and Spain 's La Liga in attendances and revenues , and several top English players had moved abroad . By the turn of the 1990s the downward trend was starting to reverse : at the 1990 FIFA World Cup , England reached the semi-finals ; UEFA , European football 's governing body , lifted the five - year ban on English clubs playing in European competitions in 1990 , resulting in Manchester United lifting the UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup in 1991 , and the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards , which proposed expensive upgrades to create all - seater stadiums in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster , was published in January of that year . The 1980s also saw the major English clubs , led by the likes of Martin Edwards of Manchester United , Irving Scholar of Tottenham Hotspur and David Dein of Arsenal , beginning to be transformed into business ventures that applied commercial principles to the running of the clubs , which led to the increasing power of the elite clubs . By threatening to break away , the top clubs from Division One managed to increase their voting power , and took 50 % share of all television and sponsorship income in 1986 . Revenue from television also became more important : the Football League received £ 6.3 million for a two - year agreement in 1986 , but by 1988 , in a deal agreed with ITV , the price rose to £ 44 million over four years with the leading clubs taking 75 % of the cash . The 1988 negotiations were conducted under the threat of ten clubs leaving to form a `` super league '' , but were eventually persuaded to stay with the top clubs taking the lion share of the deal . As stadiums improved and match attendance and revenues rose , the country 's top teams again considered leaving the Football League in order to capitalise on the influx of money into the sport . Foundation ( edit ) See also : Foundation of the Premier League In 1990 , the managing director of London Weekend Television ( LWT ) , Greg Dyke , met with the representatives of the `` big five '' football clubs in England ( Manchester United , Liverpool , Tottenham , Everton and Arsenal ) over a dinner . The meeting was to pave the way for a break away from The Football League . Dyke believed that it would be more lucrative for LWT if only the larger clubs in the country were featured on national television and wanted to establish whether the clubs would be interested in a larger share of television rights money . The five clubs decided it was a good idea and decided to press ahead with it ; however , the league would have no credibility without the backing of The Football Association and so David Dein of Arsenal held talks to see whether the FA were receptive to the idea . The FA did not enjoy an amicable relationship with the Football League at the time and considered it as a way to weaken the Football League 's position . At the close of the 1991 season , a proposal was tabled for the establishment of a new league that would bring more money into the game overall . The Founder Members Agreement , signed on 17 July 1991 by the game 's top - flight clubs , established the basic principles for setting up the FA Premier League . The newly formed top division would have commercial independence from The Football Association and the Football League , giving the FA Premier League licence to negotiate its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements . The argument given at the time was that the extra income would allow English clubs to compete with teams across Europe . Although Dyke played a significant role in the creation of the Premier League , Dyke and ITV would lose out in the bidding for broadcast rights as BSkyB won with a bid of £ 304 million over five years with the BBC awarded the highlights package broadcast on Match of the Day . In 1992 , the First Division clubs resigned from the Football League en masse and on 27 May 1992 the FA Premier League was formed as a limited company working out of an office at the Football Association 's then headquarters in Lancaster Gate . This meant a break - up of the 104 - year - old Football League that had operated until then with four divisions ; the Premier League would operate with a single division and the Football League with three . There was no change in competition format ; the same number of teams competed in the top flight , and promotion and relegation between the Premier League and the new First Division remained the same as the old First and Second Divisions with three teams relegated from the league and three promoted . The league held its first season in 1992 -- 93 . It was composed of 22 clubs for that season . The first Premier League goal was scored by Brian Deane of Sheffield United in a 2 -- 1 win against Manchester United . The 22 inaugural members of the new Premier League were Arsenal , Aston Villa , Blackburn Rovers , Chelsea , Coventry City , Crystal Palace , Everton , Ipswich Town , Leeds United , Liverpool , Manchester City , Manchester United , Middlesbrough , Norwich City , Nottingham Forest , Oldham Athletic , Queens Park Rangers , Sheffield United , Sheffield Wednesday , Southampton , Tottenham Hotspur , and Wimbledon . Luton Town , Notts County , and West Ham United were the three teams relegated from the old first division at the end of the 1991 -- 92 season , and did not take part in the inaugural Premier League season .

During this decade , they dominated the top four spots , which came with UEFA Champions League qualification , taking all top - four places in 5 out of 6 seasons from 2003 -- 04 to 2008 -- 09 inclusive , while every season during the 2000s saw the `` Big Four '' always qualifying for European competition . Arsenal went as far as winning the league without losing a single game in 2003 -- 04 , the only time it has ever happened in the Premier League . During the 2000s , only four sides outside the `` Top Four '' managed to qualify for the Champions League : Leeds United ( 1999 -- 2000 ) , Newcastle United ( 2001 -- 02 and 2002 -- 03 ) , Everton ( 2004 -- 05 ) and Tottenham Hotspur ( 2009 -- 10 ) -- each occupying the final Champions League spot , with the exception of Newcastle in the 2002 -- 03 season , who finished third . In May 2008 Kevin Keegan stated that `` Top Four '' dominance threatened the division , `` This league is in danger of becoming one of the most boring but great leagues in the world . '' Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said in defence : `` There are a lot of different tussles that go on in the Premier League depending on whether you 're at the top , in the middle or at the bottom that make it interesting . '' Between 2005 and 2012 , there was a Premier League representative in seven of the eight Champions League finals , with only `` Top Four '' clubs reaching that stage . Liverpool ( 2005 ) , Manchester United ( 2008 ) and Chelsea ( 2012 ) won the competition during this period , with Arsenal ( 2006 ) , Liverpool ( 2007 ) , Chelsea ( 2008 ) and Manchester United ( 2009 and 2011 ) all losing Champions League finals . Leeds United were the only non - `` Top Four '' side to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League , in the 2000 -- 01 season . Additionally , between the 1999 -- 2000 and 2009 -- 10 seasons , four Premier League sides reached UEFA Cup or Europa League finals , with only Liverpool managing to win the competition in 2001 . Arsenal ( 2000 ) , Middlesbrough ( 2006 ) and Fulham ( 2010 ) all lost their finals . Emergence of the `` Big six '' ( 2010s ) ( edit ) The years following 2009 marked a shift in the structure of the `` Top Four '' with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both breaking into the top four places on a regular basis , turning the `` Big Four '' into the `` Big Six '' . In the 2009 -- 10 season , Tottenham finished fourth and became the first team to break the top four since Everton five years prior . Criticism of the gap between an elite group of `` super clubs '' and the majority of the Premier League has continued , nevertheless , due to their increasing ability to spend more than the other Premier League clubs . Since the continued presence of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at the top end of the table , no side has won consecutive Premier League titles . Manchester City won the title in the 2011 -- 12 season , becoming the first club outside the `` Big Four '' to win since Blackburn Rovers in the 1994 -- 95 season . That season also saw two of the `` Big Four '' ( Chelsea and Liverpool ) finish outside the top four places for the first time since that season .

Arsenal finished 5th in 2016 -- 17 , ending their record of 20 consecutive top - four finishes . In the 2015 -- 16 season , the top four was breached by a non-Big Six side for the first time since Everton in 2005 . Leicester City were the surprise winners of the league , qualifying for the Champions League as a result . Off the pitch , the `` Big Six '' wield financial power and influence , with these clubs arguing that they should be entitled to a greater share of revenue due to the greater stature of their clubs globally and the attractive football they aim to play . Objectors argue that the egalitarian revenue structure in the Premier League helps to maintain a competitive league which is vital for its future success . The 2016 -- 17 Deloitte Football Money League report showed the financial disparity between the `` Big Six '' and the rest of the division . All of the `` Big Six '' had revenues greater than € 350 million , with Manchester United having the largest revenue in the league at € 676.3 million . Leicester City was the closest club to the `` Big Six '' in terms of revenue , recording a figure of € 271.1 million for that season -- helped by participation in the Champions League . The eighth largest revenue generator West Ham , who did n't play in European competition , had revenues of € 213.3 million , nearly half of the fifth largest club , Liverpool ( € 424.2 million ) . Development ( edit ) See also : List of Premier League seasons The number of clubs was reduced to 20 , down from 22 , in 1995 when four teams were relegated from the league and only two teams promoted . The top flight had only been expanded to 22 teams at the start of the 1991 -- 92 season -- the year prior to the formation of the Premier League . On 8 June 2006 , FIFA requested that all major European leagues , including Italy 's Serie A and Spain 's La Liga , be reduced to 18 teams by the start of the 2007 -- 08 season . The Premier League responded by announcing their intention to resist such a reduction . Ultimately , the 2007 -- 08 season kicked off again with 20 teams . The league changed its name from the FA Premier League to simply the Premier League in 2007 . Corporate structure ( edit ) The Football Association Premier League Ltd ( FAPL ) is operated as a corporation and is owned by the 20 member clubs . Each club is a shareholder , with one vote each on issues such as rule changes and contracts . The clubs elect a chairman , chief executive , and board of directors to oversee the daily operations of the league . The Football Association is not directly involved in the day - to - day operations of the Premier League , but has veto power as a special shareholder during the election of the chairman and chief executive and when new rules are adopted by the league . The current chairman is Sir Dave Richards , who was appointed in April 1999 , and the chief executive is Richard Scudamore , appointed in November 1999 . The former chairman and chief executive , John Quinton and Peter Leaver , were forced to resign in March 1999 after awarding consultancy contracts to former Sky executives Sam Chisholm and David Chance . Rick Parry was the league 's first chief executive . The Premier League sends representatives to UEFA 's European Club Association , the number of clubs and the clubs themselves chosen according to UEFA coefficients . For the 2012 -- 13 season the Premier League has 10 representatives in the Association : Arsenal , Aston Villa , Chelsea , Everton , Fulham , Liverpool , Manchester City , Manchester United , Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur . The European Club Association is responsible for electing three members to UEFA 's Club Competitions Committee , which is involved in the operations of UEFA competitions such as the Champions League and UEFA Europa League . Competition format ( edit ) Competition ( edit ) There are 20 clubs in the Premier League . During the course of a season ( from August to May ) each club plays the others twice ( a double round - robin system ) , once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents ' , for a total of 38 games . Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw . No points are awarded for a loss . Teams are ranked by total points , then goal difference , and then goals scored . If still equal , teams are deemed to occupy the same position . If there is a tie for the championship , for relegation , or for qualification to other competitions , a play - off match at a neutral venue decides rank . The three lowest placed teams are relegated into the EFL Championship , and the top two teams from the Championship , together with the winner of play - offs involving the third to sixth placed Championship clubs , are promoted in their place . Qualification for European competitions ( edit ) Arsenal against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in 2011 As of the 2009 -- 10 season qualification for the UEFA Champions League changed , the top four teams in the Premier League qualify for the UEFA Champions League , with the top three teams directly entering the group stage . Previously only the top two teams qualified automatically . The fourth - placed team enters the Champions League at the play - off round for non-champions and must win a two - legged knockout tie in order to enter the group stage . The team placed fifth in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League , and the sixth and seventh - placed teams can also qualify , depending on the winners of the two domestic cup competitions i.e. the FA Cup and the EFL Cup . Two Europa League places are reserved for the winners of each tournament ; if the winner of either the FA Cup or EFL Cup qualifies for the Champions League , then that place will go to the next - best placed finisher in the Premier League . An exception to the usual European qualification system happened in 2005 , after Liverpool won the Champions League the year before , but did not finish in a Champions League qualification place in the Premier League that season . UEFA gave special dispensation for Liverpool to enter the Champions League , giving England five qualifiers . UEFA subsequently ruled that the defending champions qualify for the competition the following year regardless of their domestic league placing . However , for those leagues with four entrants in the Champions League , this meant that if the Champions League winner finished outside the top four in its domestic league , it would qualify at the expense of the fourth - placed team in the league . At that time , no association could have more than four entrants in the Champions League . This occurred in 2012 , when Chelsea -- who had won the Champions League that summer , but finished sixth in the league -- qualified for the Champions League in place of Tottenham Hotspur , who went into the Europa League . Starting with the 2015 -- 16 season , the Europa League champion automatically qualifies for the following season 's Champions League , and the maximum number of Champions League places for any single association has increased to five . An association with four Champions League places , such as The FA , will only earn a fifth place if a club from that association that does not qualify for the Champions League through its league wins either the Champions League or Europa League . In 2007 , the Premier League became the highest ranking European League based on the performances of English teams in European competitions over a five - year period . This broke the eight - year dominance of the Spanish league , La Liga . Premier League clubs in international competition ( edit ) Main article : Premier League clubs in international performance Between the 1992 -- 93 and the 2017 -- 18 seasons , Premier League clubs won the UEFA Champions League four times ( and had six runners - up ) , behind Spain 's La Liga with eleven wins , and Italy 's Serie A with five wins ; ahead of , among others , Germany 's Bundesliga with three wins . The FIFA Club World Cup ( originally called the FIFA Club World Championship ) has been won once by a Premier League club ( Manchester United in 2008 ) , with two runners - up ( Liverpool in 2005 , Chelsea in 2012 ) , behind Spain 's La Liga with six wins , Brazil 's Brasileirão with four wins , and Italy 's Serie A with two wins . Promotion and relegation ( edit ) A system of promotion and relegation exists between the Premier League and the EFL Championship . The three lowest placed teams in the Premier League are relegated to the Championship , and the top two teams from the Championship promoted to the Premier League , with an additional team promoted after a series of play - offs involving the third , fourth , fifth and sixth placed clubs . The Premier League had 22 teams when it began in 1992 , but this was reduced to the present 20 - team format in 1995 . Clubs ( edit ) Main article : List of Premier League clubs See also : All - time FA Premier League table A total of 49 clubs have played in the Premier League from its inception in 1992 , up to and including the 2018 -- 19 season .

AFC Bournemouth , Brighton and Hove Albion , and Huddersfield Town are the only clubs to have remained in the Premier League since their first promotion , having played 4 , 2 and 2 seasons ( out of 27 ) respectively . : Founding member of the Premier League : Never been relegated from Premier League : One of the original 12 Football League teams : Club based in Wales London Bournemouth Brighton & Hove Albion Burnley Cardiff City Everton Huddersfield Town Leicester City Liverpool Manchester City Manchester United Newcastle United Southampton Wolverhampton Wanderers London teams Arsenal Chelsea Crystal Palace Fulham Tottenham Hotspur Watford West Ham United Location of clubs for the 2018 -- 19 Premier League season Arsenal Chelsea Crystal Palace Fulham Tottenham Hotspur West Ham United Watford Greater London Premier League football clubs Non-English clubs ( edit ) See also : List of association football clubs playing in the league of another country Wales ( edit ) In 2011 , a Welsh club participated in the Premier League for the first time after Swansea City gained promotion . The first Premier League match to be played outside England was Swansea City 's home match at the Liberty Stadium against Wigan Athletic on 20 August 2011 . In 2012 -- 13 , Swansea qualified for the Europa League by winning the League Cup . The number of Welsh clubs in the Premier League increased to two for the first time in 2013 -- 14 , as Cardiff City gained promotion , but they were relegated after their maiden season . Cardiff were promoted again in 2017 - 18 but the number of Welsh clubs will remain the same as Swansea City were relegated from the Premier League in the same season . Because they are members of the Football Association of Wales ( FAW ) , the question of whether clubs like Swansea should represent England or Wales in European competitions has caused long - running discussions in UEFA . Swansea took one of England 's three available places in the Europa League in 2013 -- 14 by winning the League Cup in 2012 -- 13 . The right of Welsh clubs to take up such English places was in doubt until UEFA clarified the matter in March 2012 , allowing them to participate . Scotland and Ireland ( edit ) Participation in the Premier League by some Scottish or Irish clubs has sometimes been discussed , but without result . The idea came closest to reality in 1998 , when Wimbledon received Premier League approval to relocate to Dublin , Ireland , but the move was blocked by the Football Association of Ireland . Additionally , the media occasionally discusses the idea that Scotland 's two biggest teams , Celtic and Rangers , should or will take part in the Premier League , but nothing has come of these discussions . Sponsorship ( edit ) See also : English football sponsorship From 1993 to 2016 , the Premier League had title sponsorship rights sold to two companies , which were Carling Brewery and Barclays Bank PLC ; Barclays was the most recent title sponsor , having sponsored the Premier League from 2001 through 2016 ( until 2004 , the title sponsorship was held through its Barclaycard brand before shifting to its main banking brand in 2004 ) . Period Sponsor Name 1992 -- 1993 No sponsor FA Premier League 1993 -- 2001 Carling FA Carling Premiership 2001 -- 2004 Barclaycard FA Barclaycard Premiership 2004 -- 2007 Barclays FA Barclays Premiership 2007 -- 2016 Barclays Premier League 2016 -- No Sponsor Premier League Barclays ' deal with the Premier League expired at the end of the 2015 -- 16 season . The FA announced on 4 June 2015 that it would not pursue any further title sponsorship deals for the Premier League , arguing that they wanted to build a `` clean '' brand for the competition more in line with those of major U.S. sports leagues . As well as sponsorship for the league itself , the Premier League has a number of official partners and suppliers . The official ball supplier for the league is Nike who have had the contract since the 2000 -- 01 season when they took over from Mitre . Finances ( edit ) See also : List of Premier League football club owners The Premier League has the highest revenue of any football league in the world , with total club revenues of € 2.48 billion in 2009 -- 10 . In 2013 -- 14 , due to improved television revenues and cost controls , the Premier League had net profits in excess of £ 78 million , exceeding all other football leagues . In 2010 the Premier League was awarded the Queen 's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category for its outstanding contribution to international trade and the value it brings to English football and the United Kingdom 's broadcasting industry . The Premier League includes some of the richest football clubs in the world . Deloitte 's `` Football Money League '' listed seven Premier League clubs in the top 20 for the 2009 -- 10 season , and all 20 clubs were in the top 40 globally by the end of the 2013 -- 14 season , largely as a result of increased broadcasting revenue . From 2013 , the league generates € 2.2 billion per year in domestic and international television rights . Premier League clubs agreed in principle in December 2012 , to radical new cost controls . The two proposals consist of a break - even rule and a cap on the amount clubs can increase their wage bill by each season . With the new television deals on the horizon , momentum has been growing to find ways of preventing the majority of the cash going straight to players and agents . Central payments for the 2016 -- 17 season amounted to £ 2,398,515,773 across the 20 clubs , with each team receiving a flat participation fee of £ 35,301,989 and additional payments for TV broadcasts ( £ 1,016,690 for general UK rights to match highlights , £ 1,136,083 for each live UK broadcast of their games and £ 39,090,596 for all overseas rights ) , commercial rights ( a flat fee of £ 4,759,404 ) and a notional measure of `` merit '' which was based upon final league position . The merit component was a nominal sum of £ 1,941,609 multiplied by each finishing place , counted from the foot of the table ( e.g. , Burnley finished 16th in May 2017 , five places counting upwards , and received 5 × £ 1,941,609 = £ 9,708,045 merit payment ) .

Television has played a major role in the history of the Premier League . The League 's decision to assign broadcasting rights to BSkyB in 1992 was at the time a radical decision , but one that has paid off . At the time pay television was an almost untested proposition in the UK market , as was charging fans to watch live televised football . However , a combination of Sky 's strategy , the quality of Premier League football and the public 's appetite for the game has seen the value of the Premier League 's TV rights soar . The Premier League sells its television rights on a collective basis . This is in contrast to some other European Leagues , including La Liga , in which each club sells its rights individually , leading to a much higher share of the total income going to the top few clubs . The money is divided into three parts : half is divided equally between the clubs ; one quarter is awarded on a merit basis based on final league position , the top club getting twenty times as much as the bottom club , and equal steps all the way down the table ; the final quarter is paid out as facilities fees for games that are shown on television , with the top clubs generally receiving the largest shares of this . The income from overseas rights is divided equally between the twenty clubs . The first Sky television rights agreement was worth £ 304 million over five seasons . The next contract , negotiated to start from the 1997 -- 98 season , rose to £ 670 million over four seasons . The third contract was a £ 1.024 billion deal with BSkyB for the three seasons from 2001 -- 02 to 2003 -- 04 . The league brought in £ 320 million from the sale of its international rights for the three - year period from 2004 -- 05 to 2006 -- 07 . It sold the rights itself on a territory - by - territory basis . Sky 's monopoly was broken from August 2006 when Setanta Sports was awarded rights to show two out of the six packages of matches available . This occurred following an insistence by the European Commission that exclusive rights should not be sold to one television company . Sky and Setanta paid a total of £ 1.7 billion , a two - thirds increase which took many commentators by surprise as it had been widely assumed that the value of the rights had levelled off following many years of rapid growth . Setanta also hold rights to a live 3 pm match solely for Irish viewers . The BBC has retained the rights to show highlights for the same three seasons ( on Match of the Day ) for £ 171.6 million , a 63 per cent increase on the £ 105 million it paid for the previous three - year period . Sky and BT have agreed to jointly pay £ 84.3 million for delayed television rights to 242 games ( that is the right to broadcast them in full on television and over the internet ) in most cases for a period of 50 hours after 10 pm on matchday . Overseas television rights fetched £ 625 million , nearly double the previous contract . The total raised from these deals is more than £ 2.7 billion , giving Premier League clubs an average media income from league games of around £ 40 million - a-year from 2007 to 2010 . Cristiano Ronaldo preparing to take a free kick in a 2009 match between Manchester United and Liverpool . The TV rights agreement between the Premier League and Sky has faced accusations of being a cartel , and a number of court cases have arisen as a result . An investigation by the Office of Fair Trading in 2002 found BSkyB to be dominant within the pay TV sports market , but concluded that there were insufficient grounds for the claim that BSkyB had abused its dominant position . In July 1999 the Premier League 's method of selling rights collectively for all member clubs was investigated by the UK Restrictive Practices Court , who concluded that the agreement was not contrary to the public interest . The BBC 's highlights package on Saturday and Sunday nights , as well as other evenings when fixtures justify , will run until 2016 . Television rights alone for the period 2010 to 2013 have been purchased for £ 1.782 billion . On 22 June 2009 , due to troubles encountered by Setanta Sports after it failed to meet a final deadline over a £ 30 million payment to the Premier League , ESPN was awarded two packages of UK rights containing a total of 46 matches that were available for the 2009 -- 10 season as well as a package of 23 matches per season from 2010 -- 11 to 2012 -- 13 . On 13 June 2012 , the Premier League announced that BT had been awarded 38 games a season for the 2013 -- 14 through 2015 -- 16 seasons at £ 246 million - a-year . The remaining 116 games were retained by Sky who paid £ 760 million - a-year . The total domestic rights have raised £ 3.018 billion , an increase of 70.2 % over the 2010 -- 11 to 2012 -- 13 rights . The value of the licensing deal rose by another 70.2 % in 2015 , when Sky and BT paid a total of £ 5.136 billion to renew their contracts with the Premier League for another three years up to the 2018 -- 19 season . UK highlights Highlights programme Duration Channel Match of the Day 1992 -- 2001 , 2004 -- present BBC The Premiership 2001 -- 2004 ITV Between the 1998 -- 99 season and the 2012 -- 13 season , RTÉ broadcast highlights on Premier Soccer Saturday and occasionally Premier Soccer Sunday . During then between the 2004 -- 05 season and the 2006 -- 07 season , RTÉ broadcast 15 live matches on a Saturday afternoon with each match being called Premiership Live . In August 2016 , it was announced that the BBC would be creating a new magazine - style show for the Premier League entitled The Premier League Show . Worldwide ( edit ) The Premier League is the most - watched football league in the world , broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people , . The Premier League 's production arm , Premier League Productions , is operated by IMG Productions and produces all content for its international television partners . The Premier League is particularly popular in Asia , where it is the most widely distributed sports programme . In Australia , Optus telecommunications holds exclusive rights to the Premier League , providing live broadcasts and online access ( Fox Sports formerly held rights ) . In India , the matches are broadcast live on STAR Sports . In China , the broadcast rights were awarded to Super Sports in a six - year agreement that began in the 2013 -- 14 season . As of the 2013 -- 14 season , Canadian broadcast rights to the Premier League are jointly owned by Sportsnet and TSN , with both rival networks holding rights to 190 matches per season . The Premier League is broadcast in the United States through NBC Sports . Premier League viewership has increased rapidly , with NBC and NBCSN averaging a record 479,000 viewers in the 2014 -- 15 season , up 118 % from 2012 -- 13 when coverage still aired on Fox Soccer and ESPN / ESPN2 ( 220,000 viewers ) , and NBC Sports has been widely praised for its coverage . NBC Sports reached a six - year extension with the Premier League in 2015 to broadcast the league through the 2021 -- 22 season in a deal valued at $1 billion ( £ 640 million ) . Widening gap with lower leagues ( edit ) See also : Premier League -- Football League gulf There has been an increasing gulf between the Premier League and the Football League . Since its split with the Football League , many established clubs in the Premier League have managed to distance themselves from their counterparts in lower leagues . Owing in large part to the disparity in revenue from television rights between the leagues , many newly promoted teams have found it difficult to avoid relegation in their first season in the Premier League . In every season except 2001 -- 02 , 2011 -- 12 and 2017 - 18 , at least one Premier League newcomer has been relegated back to the Football League . In 1997 -- 98 all three promoted clubs were relegated at the end of the season . The Premier League distributes a portion of its television revenue to clubs that are relegated from the league in the form of `` parachute payments '' . Starting with the 2013 -- 14 season , these payments are in excess of £ 60 million over four seasons . Though designed to help teams adjust to the loss of television revenues ( the average Premier League team receives £ 55 million while the average Football League Championship club receives £ 2 million ) , critics maintain that the payments actually widen the gap between teams that have reached the Premier League and those that have not , leading to the common occurrence of teams `` bouncing back '' soon after their relegation . For some clubs who have failed to win immediate promotion back to the Premier League , financial problems , including in some cases administration or even liquidation have followed . Further relegations down the footballing ladder have ensued for several clubs unable to cope with the gap . Stadiums ( edit ) Main article : List of Premier League stadiums As of the 2017 -- 18 season , Premier League football has been played in 58 stadiums since the formation of the division . The Hillsborough disaster in 1989 and the subsequent Taylor Report saw a recommendation that standing terraces should be abolished ; as a result all stadiums in the Premier League are all - seater . Since the formation of the Premier League , football grounds in England have seen constant improvements to capacity and facilities , with some clubs moving to new - build stadiums . Nine stadiums that have seen Premier League football have now been demolished . The stadiums for the 2017 -- 18 season show a large disparity in capacity : Wembley Stadium , the temporary home of Tottenham Hotspur , has a capacity of 90,000 with Dean Court , the home of Bournemouth , having a capacity of 11,360 . The combined total capacity of the Premier League in the 2017 -- 18 season is 806,033 with an average capacity of 40,302 . Stadium attendances are a significant source of regular income for Premier League clubs . For the 2016 -- 17 season , average attendances across the league clubs were 35,838 for Premier League matches with a total aggregate attendance figure of 13,618,596 . This represents an increase of 14,712 from the average attendance of 21,126 recorded in the league 's first season ( 1992 -- 93 ) . However , during the 1992 -- 93 season the capacities of most stadiums were reduced as clubs replaced terraces with seats in order to meet the Taylor Report 's 1994 -- 95 deadline for all - seater stadiums . The Premier League 's record average attendance of 36,144 was set during the 2007 -- 08 season . This record was then beaten in the 2013 -- 14 season recording an average attendance of 36,695 with a total attendance of just under 14 million , the highest average in England 's top flight since 1950 . Managers ( edit ) See also : List of Premier League managers Managers in the Premier League are involved in the day - to - day running of the team , including the training , team selection , and player acquisition . Their influence varies from club - to - club and is related to the ownership of the club and the relationship of the manager with fans . Managers are required to have a UEFA Pro Licence which is the final coaching qualification available , and follows the completion of the UEFA ' B ' and ' A ' Licences . The UEFA Pro Licence is required by every person who wishes to manage a club in the Premier League on a permanent basis ( i.e. more than 12 weeks -- the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control ) . Caretaker appointments are managers that fill the gap between a managerial departure and a new appointment . Several caretaker managers have gone on to secure a permanent managerial post after performing well as a caretaker ; examples include Paul Hart at Portsmouth and David Pleat at Tottenham Hotspur . The league 's longest - serving manager was Alex Ferguson , who was in charge of Manchester United from November 1986 until his retirement at the end of the 2012 -- 13 season , meaning that he was manager for all of the first 21 seasons of the Premier League . Arsène Wenger is the league 's longest - serving current manager , having been in charge of Arsenal in the Premier League since 1996 . In the 2017 -- 18 season , 11 managers were sacked , the most recent being Alan Pardew of West Bromwich Albion . There have been several studies into the reasoning behind , and effects of , managerial sackings . Most famously , Professor Sue Bridgewater of the University of Liverpool and Dr. Bas ter Weel of the University of Amsterdam , performed two separate studies which helped to explain the statistics behind managerial sackings . Bridgewater 's study found that clubs generally sack their managers upon dropping below an average of 1 point - per - game .

Italicised players still playing professional football . Bolded players still playing in Premier League . Foreign players and transfer Regulations ( edit ) See also : List of foreign Premier League players and List of foreign Premier League goalscorers At the inception of the Premier League in 1992 -- 93 , just eleven players named in the starting line - ups for the first round of matches hailed from outside of the United Kingdom or Ireland . By 2000 -- 01 , the number of foreign players participating in the Premier League was 36 per cent of the total . In the 2004 -- 05 season the figure had increased to 45 per cent . On 26 December 1999 , Chelsea became the first Premier League side to field an entirely foreign starting line - up , and on 14 February 2005 Arsenal were the first to name a completely foreign 16 - man squad for a match . By 2009 , under 40 % of the players in the Premier League were English . In response to concerns that clubs were increasingly passing over young English players in favour of foreign players , in 1999 , the Home Office tightened its rules for granting work permits to players from countries outside of the European Union . A non-EU player applying for the permit must have played for his country in at least 75 per cent of its competitive ' A ' team matches for which he was available for selection during the previous two years , and his country must have averaged at least 70th place in the official FIFA world rankings over the previous two years . If a player does not meet those criteria , the club wishing to sign him may appeal . Players may only be transferred during transfer windows that are set by the Football Association . The two transfer windows run from the last day of the season to 31 August and from 31 December to 31 January . Player registrations can not be exchanged outside these windows except under specific licence from the FA , usually on an emergency basis . As of the 2010 -- 11 season , the Premier League introduced new rules mandating that each club must register a maximum 25 - man squad of players aged over 21 , with the squad list only allowed to be changed in transfer windows or in exceptional circumstances . This was to enable the ' home grown ' rule to be enacted , whereby the League would also from 2010 require at least 8 of the named 25 man squad to be made up of ' home - grown players ' . Player wages and transfer fees ( edit ) See also : Progression of British football transfer fee record There is no team or individual salary cap in the Premier League . As a result of the increasingly lucrative television deals , player wages rose sharply following the formation of the Premier League when the average player wage was £ 75,000 per year . The average salary stands at £ 1.1 million as of the 2008 -- 09 season . As of 2015 , average salaries in the Premier League are higher than for any other football league in the world . The record transfer fee for a Premier League player has risen steadily over the lifetime of the competition . Prior to the start of the first Premier League season Alan Shearer became the first British player to command a transfer fee of more than £ 3 million . The record rose steadily in the Premier League 's first few seasons , until Alan Shearer made a record breaking £ 15 million move to Newcastle United in 1996 . All three of the most expensive transfers in the sport 's history had a Premier League club on the selling or buying end , with Juventus selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United in August 2016 for a fee of £ 89 million , Tottenham Hotspur selling Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for £ 85 million in 2013 , Manchester United 's sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £ 80 million in 2009 , and Liverpool selling Luis Suárez to Barcelona for £ 75 million in 2014 .

The Golden Boot is awarded to the top Premier League scorer at the end of each season . Former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer holds the record for most Premier League goals with 260 . Twenty - five players have reached the 100 - goal mark . Since the first Premier League season in 1992 -- 93 , 14 players from 10 clubs have won or shared the top scorers title . Thierry Henry won his fourth overall scoring title by scoring 27 goals in the 2005 -- 06 season . Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer hold the record for most goals in a season ( 34 ) -- for Newcastle and Blackburn respectively . Ryan Giggs of Manchester United holds the record for scoring goals in consecutive seasons , having scored in the first 21 seasons of the league . Awards ( edit ) Trophy ( edit ) The Premier League trophy The gold Premier League trophy awarded to Arsenal for winning the 2003 -- 04 title without defeat The Premier League maintains two trophies -- the genuine trophy ( held by the reigning champions ) and a spare replica . Two trophies are held in the event that two clubs could win the League on the final day of the season . In the rare event that more than two clubs are vying for the title on the final day of the season -- then a replica won by a previous club is used . The current Premier League trophy was created by Royal Jewellers Asprey of London . It consists of a trophy with a golden crown and a malachite plinth base . The plinth weighs 33 pounds ( 15 kg ) and the trophy weighs 22 pounds ( 10.0 kg ) . The trophy and plinth are 76 cm ( 30 in ) tall , 43 cm ( 17 in ) wide and 25 cm ( 9.8 in ) deep . Its main body is solid sterling silver and silver gilt , while its plinth is made of malachite , a semi-precious stone . The plinth has a silver band around its circumference , upon which the names of the title - winning clubs are listed . Malachite 's green colour is also representative of the green field of play . The design of the trophy is based on the heraldry of Three Lions that is associated with English football . Two of the lions are found above the handles on either side of the trophy -- the third is symbolised by the captain of the title - winning team as he raises the trophy , and its gold crown , above his head at the end of the season . The ribbons that drape the handles are presented in the team colours of the league champions that year . In 2004 , a special gold version of the trophy was commissioned to commemorate Arsenal winning the title without a single defeat . Player and manager awards ( edit ) In addition to the winner 's trophy and the individual winner 's medals awarded to players who win the title , the Premier League also issues other awards throughout the season . A man of the match award is awarded to the player who has the greatest impact in an individual match . Monthly awards are also given for the Manager of the Month , Player of the Month and Goal of the Month . These are also issued annually for Manager of the Season , Player of the Season. and Goal of the Season . The Golden Boot award is given to the top goalscorer of every season , The Playmaker of the Season award is given to the player who make the most assists of every season and the Golden Glove award is given to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets at the end of the season . From the 2017 -- 18 season , players also receive a milestone award for 100 appearances and every century there after and also players who score 50 goals and multiples thereof . Each player to reach these milestones will receive a presentation box from the Premier League containing a special medallion and a plaque commemorating their achievement . 20 seasons awards ( edit ) Further information : Premier League 20 Seasons Awards and Premier League 10 Seasons Awards In 2012 , the Premier League celebrated its second decade by holding the 20 Seasons Awards : Fantasy Team of the 20 Seasons Panel Choice : Peter Schmeichel , Gary Neville , Tony Adams , Rio Ferdinand , Ashley Cole , Cristiano Ronaldo , Roy Keane , Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs , Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer Public Vote : Peter Schmeichel , Gary Neville , Tony Adams , Nemanja Vidić , Ashley Cole , Cristiano Ronaldo , Steven Gerrard , Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs , Thierry Henry , Alan Shearer Best Manager : Sir Alex Ferguson Best Player : Ryan Giggs Most Appearances : Gareth Barry ( 652 ) Top Goalscorer : Alan Shearer ( 260 ) Most Clean Sheets : David James ( 173 ) 500 Club : Steven Gerrard , Jamie Carragher , Gareth Barry , Ryan Giggs , David James , Gary Speed , Frank Lampard , Emile Heskey , and Sol Campbell .

It also features Hittman , who was not in the song . This video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video in 2000 . Critical reception ( edit ) Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic marked it as a stand - out track praising Eminem 's unpredictability . NME described this song : `` In case folks been smoking too much heavy ' chronic ' lately , West Coast rap founder and scary legend Andre Young , aka Dr Dre , jogs their memories on ' Forgot About Dre ' . `` Who you think brought you the OGs , Eazy Es , Ice Cubes and DOCs , the Snoop - D-O-G - Gs and the group that said motherfuck the police ? '' yammers the one - time NWA lynchpin , ex Death Row playa , inventor of - G - Funk and occasional breaker of rival producers ' jaws . Yo , indeed , big bad Dre 's back and , despite a four - year gap since his last hardcore missive , the Doc 's recent collaboration with Eminem on ' The Slim Shady LP ' has kept his legend simmering . '' Chris Massey of PopMatters praised : `` ( ... ) it 's the frantic rap of Eminem that truly stands out , perhaps only because he 's the freshest voice on board . '' Greg Tate of SPIN magazine noted that Dr. Dre uses this song to make sure all recognize his `` majesty '' with Eminem standing by him like a cartoon pitbull .

"The song is considered to be a response to diss tracks made by Death Row artists on Suge Knight Represents: Chronic 2000, a compilation released by Suge Knight which takes its title from Dre's 1992 album The Chronic. The line \"Who you think brought you the oldies, Eazy-E's, Ice Cube's, and D.O.C.'s, the Snoop D.O. Double G's, and the group that said 'Motherfuck the police'?\" outlines Dre's importance in the rap world, the theme of the song.

3179882796981281537 | Elsa (Disney) | Elsa ( Disney ) - Wikipedia Elsa ( Disney ) Jump to : navigation , search Elsa Frozen character First appearance Frozen ( 2013 ) Created by Chris Buck Jennifer Lee Voiced by Idina Menzel Eva Bella ( 8 years old ) Spencer Lacey Ganus ( 12 years old ) Information Title Queen of Arendelle Princess of Arendelle Family The King and Queen of Arendelle ( parents ) Princess Anna of Arendelle ( younger sister ) Queen Elsa of Arendelle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures ' 53rd animated film Frozen . She is voiced primarily by Broadway actress and singer Idina Menzel . At the beginning of the film , she is voiced by Eva Bella as a young child and by Spencer Lacey Ganus as a teenager . Created by directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee , Elsa is loosely based on the title character of `` The Snow Queen '' , a Danish fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen . In the Disney film adaptation , she is introduced as the princess of the fictional Scandinavian kingdom of Arendelle , heiress to the throne and the elder sister of Princess Anna ( Kristen Bell ) . Elsa has the magical ability to create and manipulate ice and snow . She inadvertently sends Arendelle into an eternal winter on the evening of her coronation . Throughout the film , she struggles first with controlling and concealing her abilities and then with liberating herself from her fears of unintentionally harming others , especially her younger sister . The Snow Queen character , neutral but cold - hearted in the original fairytale and villain in numerous adaptations of the character , proved difficult to adapt to film due to her transparent depiction . Several film executives , including Walt Disney , attempted to build on the character , and a number of scheduled film adaptions were shelved when they could not work out the character . Buck and his co-director , Jennifer Lee , were ultimately able to solve the dilemma by depicting Elsa and Anna as sisters . As much as Anna 's struggle is external , Elsa 's is internal . This led to Elsa being gradually rewritten as a sympathetic , misunderstood character . Elsa has received largely positive reception from reviewers , who praised her complex characterization and vulnerability . Menzel was also widely praised for her vocal performance of Elsa , especially that of her performance of the song `` Let It Go '' , with critics frequently calling her a `` powerhouse '' .

Attempts were made as early as 1937 by Walt Disney to adapt Hans Christian Andersen 's fairy tale , `` The Snow Queen '' , into a film . The tale focuses on two children , one named Gerda , who served as the basis for Princess Anna , and the other named Kai , who is `` cursed with negativity '' after his heart is pierced with a shard of glass from an enchanted mirror and is later kidnapped by the Snow Queen . However , Disney struggled with creating a believable , multi-dimensional adaption of the fairy tale 's title character , who was intended to be a villain . In the story , she is described as `` a woman , dressed in garments of white gauze , which looked like millions of starry snow - flakes linked together . She was fair and beautiful , but made of ice -- shining and glittering ice . Still she was alive and her eyes sparkled like bright stars , but there was neither peace nor rest in their glance . '' Disney was unable to find a way to make the Snow Queen more real and eventually abandoned film plans . Several film executives later made efforts towards the project , including Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi , Dick Zondag , Glen Keane , and Dave Goetz . In 2011 , director Chris Buck began work on another attempted adaption and also faced challenges with the Snow Queen character . Producer Peter Del Vecho explained that this was primarily because she was not relatable and too isolated , having no personal connections . As a result , they could not explain her motivations . After several changes were proposed , someone on the writing team suggested making the Snow Queen Anna 's sister . `` Once we realized that these characters could be siblings and have a relationship , everything changed , '' Del Vecho relayed . The Snow Queen , now given the name Elsa , continued to be cast as a villain , and Disney released the following synopsis for Frozen in May 2013 : When Anna is cursed by her estranged sister , the cold - hearted Snow Queen , Anna 's only hope of reversing the curse is to survive a perilous but thrilling journey across an icy and unforgiving landscape . Joined by a rugged , thrill - seeking outdoorsman , his one - antlered reindeer and a hapless snowman , Anna must race against time , conquer the elements and battle an army of menacing snowmen if she ever hopes to melt her frozen heart . Earlier manuscripts included more antagonistic actions by Elsa , such as intentionally cursing Arendelle with an eternal winter . Additionally , she is shown creating an army of snowmen similar to the original Snow Queen 's army of snowflakes ; the comedic character of Olaf was at the time written as a smaller snowman who was cast out by Elsa for being too unintimidating . Within two months , however , scripts were altered to give emphasis to her lack of control over her powers . Olaf was reduced to the only snowman created by Elsa , and he instead serves as a reminder of the sisters ' childhood friendship . In the final version , Elsa creates a single giant snow creature that Olaf nicknames `` Marshmallow '' to act as a guard after being branded as a monster for her powers . According to director Jennifer Lee , the character ultimately became more of a composite of both Kai and the Snow Queen , enhancing her increasingly sympathetic portrayal . Del Vecho added , `` There are times when Elsa does villainous things but because you understand where it comes from , from this desire to defend herself , you can always relate to her . '' Voice ( edit ) Idina Menzel provided both the singing and speaking voice of Elsa . Eva Bella and Spencer Lacey Ganus were cast to portray Elsa as a young child and as a teenager , respectively . Actress and singer Megan Mullally was originally cast to voice an adult Elsa . but was replaced by Idina Menzel , a Broadway actress and singer best known for performing as Elphaba in Wicked . Menzel already knew Kristen Bell , who voiced Anna , and had previously auditioned for a lead role in the 2010 Disney film Tangled . She was not cast for the part , but the casting director recorded her singing and later showed the recording to Frozen 's film executives . Menzel was surprised when she was subsequently asked to audition , and she received the role after reading the script out loud . In interviews , she acknowledged similarities between Elsa , her then - current role , and Elphaba , her previous role . Namely , she said , they were both very powerful and very misunderstood individuals . She further said that she related to the characters , having hidden her singing talent from her peers at school . `` I did n't want to alienate anyone , '' she explained . `` If everyone was singing along in the car to a Madonna song , I did n't join in because when we 're younger we 're afraid of sticking out or showing off , when in fact we should own those things that make us really unique . '' Director Chris Buck believed that Menzel 's vocals would help in the portrayal of the character , saying , `` Idina has a sense of vulnerability in her voice . She plays a very strong character , but someone who lives in fear -- so we needed someone who could portray both sides of the character , and Idina was just amazing . '' Menzel was unaccustomed to working with animated films and being required to portray her character 's feelings with her voice alone , though she did not find it particularly challenging . While recording , she was able to `` play '' with her voice , trying various tones to establish the ranges in Elsa 's emotions . For example , Menzel wanted there to be a difference between the ways she sounded when she was being bold and when she was angry . She would also physically restrict her hands from moving as she recorded the film 's early scenes in order to project how her character was `` so afraid to move and feel anything that it would come out and hurt people '' . During production , Menzel and Jonathan Groff , who portrays Kristoff , went to the animation studio to explain to the animators how they were approaching their characters . Animators asked Menzel questions about her singing , observed how she breathed as she sang live , and made videorecordings of her recording sessions ; they then animated Elsa 's breathing to match Menzel 's breathing , for further realism . Her voice supplied inspiration for Elsa 's most prominent song , `` Let It Go '' . According to composer Robert Lopez , Menzel 's vocal range was able to clearly convey Elsa 's `` low , vulnerable , fragile side '' as well as her power and self - realization . Menzel commented that it was `` an honor '' to have the song and that she enjoyed recording it . `` It 's a collision of a bunch of forces that are all coming together in the right way , '' she explained . `` The character , what she is singing and what she is experiencing ; beautiful lyrics , beautiful melody and a little bit of me . '' Buck and Lee were also surprised by how compatible Menzel and Kristen Bell 's voices were . At one point during a table read , they sang a ballad ( later revealed as `` Wind Beneath My Wings '' ) back and forth to one another with so much sentiment that it reportedly left everyone who was present with tears in their eyes . Subsequently , Lee wanted Menzel and Bell to be in the same room when they were recording the important emotional scenes of the film . Other voices ( edit ) All over the world , Elsa was dubbed in 46 languages . Dutch singer and actress Willemijn Verkaik dubbed Elsa in Dutch ( both speaking and singing ) and German ( singing only ) , Spanish singer Gisela sang both for the Castilian Spanish and Catalan versions and French singer Anaïs Delva 's singing lines were also used in the Canadian French version . Both Anaïs Delva ( French ) and Jelena Gavrilović ( Serbian ) had originally auditioned for Anna 's role , but were eventually called back to dub Elsa instead . Just like Idina Menzel , four of Elsa 's dubbers also played the role of Elphaba in the Musical `` Wicked '' , that is : Maria Lucia Rosenberg ( Danish ) , Willemijn Verkaik ( Dutch and German ) , Mona Mor ( Hebrew ) and Hyena Park ( ko ) ( Korean ) . Since 2013 , some local TV stations have been dubbing the movie in their local languages , creating some unofficial dubs ( namely : Albanian , Arabic TV , Karachay - Balkar , Persian and Tagalog ) .

According to Menzel , she was originally scripted as a one - dimensional antagonist but was gradually revised as a more vulnerable , multifaceted figure . Menzel further described her character as `` extremely complicated and misunderstood '' . Director Jennifer Lee stated that Elsa is largely driven by fear throughout the film , while Menzel added that she was also struggling with her potential to be `` a strong , powerful , extraordinary woman '' . Executive producer and animator John Lasseter became very `` protective of Elsa '' and was adamant about portraying her in a more favorable , sympathetic light . Writer and director Jennifer Lee stated on Twitter that Elsa 's body language and mannerisms were `` intentional to show anxiety and depression '' . In July 2013 , Disney released images of the film 's main characters along with outlines of their roles in the story . Elsa received the following description : From the outside , Elsa looks poised , regal and reserved , but in reality , she lives in fear as she wrestles with a mighty secret -- she was born with the power to create ice and snow . It 's a beautiful ability , but also extremely dangerous . Haunted by the moment her magic nearly killed her younger sister Anna , Elsa has isolated herself , spending every waking minute trying to suppress her growing powers . Her mounting emotions trigger the magic , accidentally setting off an eternal winter that she ca n't stop . She fears she 's becoming a monster and that no one , not even her sister , can help her . Elsa 's supervising animator was Wayne Unten , who asked for that role because he was fascinated by her complexity . Unten carefully developed Elsa 's facial expressions in order to bring out her fear as contrasted against Anna 's fearlessness . For their work on designing and animating Elsa , Unten and three other Disney Animation employees later won an award for Outstanding Animated Character in an Animated Feature Motion Picture at the 2013 Visual Effects Society Awards : Joy Johnson , character technical director ( rigging ) ; Alexander Alvarado , look development artist ( Disney 's job title for texture artists ) ; and Chad Stubblefield , modeling supervisor . FX technical director Yoo Jae - hyun worked for a year - and - a-half on creating Elsa 's ice - based special effects , including effects associated with her dress . Producers identified the scene in which Elsa sings `` Let It Go '' as a pivotal point in the character 's development . The scene depicts her choice to `` let go '' of her fear of using her powers . Character design supervisor Bill Schwab said , `` Before ' Let It Go ' , Elsa is really buttoned up , her hair is up -- everything is perfect . During the song , she gives herself permission to be who she is and everything changes -- her hair is more wild , her gown is magical . She 's finally free -- even if she is all alone . '' Animators designed Elsa 's appearance to reflect her metamorphosis ; in the beginning , she is shown primarily in restrictive and confining outfits . Menzel said that , after accepting her abilities , Elsa 's appearance becomes `` very vampy '' , continuing , `` She 's quite sexy for Disney , I have to say -- they 're pushing the limits there a little bit ! But there 's a gleam in her eye and a supermodel walk that goes with it and , for me , it was fun to be a blonde because I 'm not in real life . '' In a January 2014 interview with John August and Aline Brosh McKenna , Lee disclosed that Lasseter personally helped with conceptualizing Elsa 's physical transformation : `` ( M ) y favorite thing about it ... is the actual model for doing it was John Lasseter ... he was a huge help in talking through how we translate that emotional journey ... with the animation ... ( H ) e got up and he 's like , ... ' her hair goes , and she transforms , and she struts , ' and he 's doing it . He 's acting it out . '' `` We imagined what it would be like to be chased out of the kingdom . To have to let go of everything you know and all the people you love . And yet the incredible release you 'd have to finally let go of everything you 've holding back your entire life . '' -- Kristen Anderson - Lopez on writing Elsa 's song , `` Let It Go '' , and the choice to make her a protagonist rather than a villain . The scene was also a pivotal point in the development of Elsa 's character and was initially planned to depict her becoming evil . Robert Lopez , who composed the song with his wife , Kristen Anderson - Lopez , explained , `` Elsa was going to go from being this perfect princess that had tried to keep her personality down her whole life to saying , ' Screw it . I 'm gon na be me . ' '' They had wanted to use the song as a way to gain a better understanding of the character and what she would be like if she was no longer living in fear , which ultimately resulted in her becoming much more complex . The final lyrics and Menzel 's `` ability to be so fragile and vulnerable and then break into this powerhouse voice '' turned the plot around and led to Elsa being revised as a `` good '' character . She initially attempts to suppress her powers in order to avoid hurting others , particularly Anna , and when she is no longer able to do so , she banishes herself from the kingdom to protect those around her . Lead writer Paul Briggs said that Anna 's support is what Elsa needs most when her secret is exposed . `` The strength of the family bond is what makes this story so powerful , '' he explained , `` because it 's her sibling who 's willing to look beyond her powers and stand between her and the world if that 's what it takes . '' Early concept art depicting a darker version of Elsa inspired by Amy Winehouse . Elsa 's appearance had to be redesigned following her transition from antagonist to protagonist . She was originally drawn in a style similar to other Disney villains , with blue skin and spiky black hair . A few months after the film 's release , visual development artist Claire Keane ( the daughter of Disney Legend Glen Keane ) published early concept art of Elsa that was modeled after the singer Amy Winehouse . At the time , she was imagined as having blue `` bouffant '' hair as well as `` a deep , soulful voice and dramatic mood swings '' . Lasseter reportedly influenced the creation of the character 's much softer final appearance , particularly in regards to her very thick platinum blonde hair , which animators found difficult to design . Art director Michael Giaimo said that while a number of strategies were proposed for Elsa 's hair , Lasseter would push the animation team to continue making improvements , saying , `` It 's not aspirational enough . We want people to feel like this hair is a beautiful statement . '' During a research trip , producers found that `` there are lots of braids '' worn by women in Norway ; they then hired a stylist from New York named `` Danilo '' who helped to create a style that would reflect that while still being `` a little different '' . A new animation program called Tonic was invented to assist with the task , and the character 's hair ultimately required 420,000 CGI threads . By contrast , Anna was given roughly 140,000 hairs while Rapunzel from Tangled had only required 27,000 CGI threads for her hair . Abilities ( edit ) Elsa 's ice castle Since Elsa is introduced as a young child at the beginning of the film , animators wanted the first glimpse of her powers to reflect her innocent and fanciful state of mind at the time . This included giving her first snowflakes a simple design . Her snow and ice patterns later become more intricate and complex when she is an adult . Co-effects supervisor Marlon West elaborated , `` When Elsa finally lets go and really starts owning her cryokinetic abilities , we wanted the ice and snow that she make to get across the idea that Elsa has now grown up and become this beautiful , elegant , confident and powerful young woman . '' Her ice castle , which she creates while singing `` Let It Go '' , was designed to illustrate the maturing of her powers as well as to be `` a manifestation of her feelings to the world '' . The palace is initially beautiful ; however , after she is made aware of the destruction she has inadvertently caused , and as she is increasingly vilified and hunted by others , it becomes darker and more distorted , with jagged icicles forming on the walls . The film 's design team was uncertain about how it should look and drew out designs for various ice castles filled with snow . Lasseter suggested basing the structure and patterns on snowflakes . For example , an enormous snowflake would serve as the foundation , and the palace would be hexagon - shaped . Lasseter also wanted snowflake patterns to influence the manner in which Elsa creates the palace . `` Snowflakes are these tiny little ice crystals that form in mid-air . And when there are changes in temperature and humidity , these snowflakes start growing in a pattern that 's known as branching and plating , '' said co-effects supervisor Dale Mayeda . `` ( Lasseter ) said ' You know , when Elsa builds her ice palace , it would be so amazing if -- every step of the way as this castle forms out of thin air -- it 's just branching and plating , branching and plating all along the way . '' Fifty animators worked on the scene in which the castle is built , and one frame required 30 hours to render . They later extended similar techniques to Elsa 's clothing . While the traditional Norwegian rosemaling was the inspiration for her costuming early in the film , her ice gown was designed similarly to her palace , with snowflakes heavily influencing the style . Her cape itself is a large snowflake . Appearances ( edit ) Frozen ( edit ) Main article : Frozen ( 2013 film ) Elsa , princess of Arendelle and heiress to the throne , is born with the ability to create and control ice and snow . As a child , she uses her abilities to create a winter wonderland to play in with her younger sister and best friend , Princess Anna . One night , Elsa accidentally harms Anna with her powers . The king and queen of Arendelle hurriedly take Anna to a tribe of mountain trolls to be healed . While healing Anna , the trolls inform the royals present that Elsa 's abilities will grow , becoming both beautiful and very dangerous so she must learn to control them . While the trolls erase Anna 's memory of the incident and of her elder sister 's powers in general , Elsa is traumatized by the event . The king and queen take steps to control and hide Elsa 's ice powers : the castle gates are locked , Elsa is shut away in her bedroom for most of the time , she is given gloves to help suppress her powers and is told to hold in her emotions as well . Nonetheless her powers continue to grow even stronger and so she becomes fearful of harming those she cares about most . Meanwhile , her sister Anna is less happy and confused by the loss of contact with her elder sister and tries , without success , to coax her out of her room . When the sisters grow into teenagers , the ship in which the king and queen are sailing is capsized in a storm and they drown , leaving Anna and Elsa feeling even more lonely . Three years pass , and Elsa , now of age , is set to formally succeed her father as the monarch of Arendelle . Though she is afraid of opening the castle to the large crowds , her coronation goes on relatively peacefully . However , at the reception party , Anna asks for Elsa 's blessing to marry Prince Hans of the Southern Isles , whom Anna had met earlier that day . Elsa refuses to bless Hans 's offer to marry Anna ; he is someone she barely knows , prompting an argument between the two . Being so upset Elsa accidentally reveals her power . Upon the guests ' and her subjects ' horror and being accused of sorcery and called a monster , Elsa flees the castle and retreats into the icy mountains . In the process , her emotions unleash an `` eternal '' winter throughout Arendelle . While there , she decides to embrace , finally , all her powers and builds an enormous ice palace where she believes she can live freely without fear of hurting people . She also rebuilds her childhood snowman , Olaf , and unknowingly brings him to life . Anna , determined to find Elsa and bring her back , travels through the mountains , encountering Olaf and a mountain man named Kristoff . They reach the ice palace , where Anna attempts to persuade Elsa to return home and mend their relationship . When Elsa ultimately resists ( due to her memory of hurting Anna as a child with her powers resurfacing ) Anna tells her about the state that Arendelle and all its people was left in . Horrified , Elsa lashes out and accidentally freezes Anna 's heart . Now even more horrified at the prospect of hurting her sister and people with her powers , Elsa forces Anna , Kristoff and Olaf out by creating a gigantic snow creature ( called Marshmallow by Olaf ) , that is a symbol of her desire to be alone so as to be able to use her powers without hurting anyone . After this , her ice castle evidently becomes darker and more grotesque , reflecting her torment and re-ignited fears . Meanwhile , Anna becomes weaker day by day and Kristoff takes her back to the trolls , who tell them that only an `` act of true love '' can save her life . Hans and a group of soldiers attack the now ugly ice palace . Elsa seizes two soldiers who attempt to assassinate her . Hans convinces her to spare them to prove that she is not a monster . However , she is knocked unconscious and taken to her castle 's dungeon . Hans visits her and urges her to end the winter ; Elsa admits that she has no idea how to do so . After he leaves , she is able to break free from the chains by freezing them and escapes the cell , though her fears trigger a massive blizzard . Anna returns to the castle , believing that a romantic kiss from Hans will be the `` act of true love '' to save her . Instead , he informs her that his offer of marriage ( engagement ) had been the first step of a plot to get him the throne of Arendelle . Olaf tells Anna that Kristoff is in love with her and she believes that his kiss will cure her . They rush to find Kristoff . Hans confronts Elsa and tells her that she has killed Anna . Devastated , Elsa collapses and the blizzard stops suddenly . Hans approaches her and swings his sword to kill her , but Anna turns away from an approaching Kristoff with her last bit of strength and blocks Hans ' attack as she freezes solid . Moments later , Anna begins to thaw , as her choice to save her sister rather than herself constituted the necessary `` act of true love '' . Elsa realizes that love is the key to controlling her powers and is able to end the kingdom 's eternal winter . Summer returns to Arendelle , Elsa regains the throne and is able to use and safely control her powers , while the sisters ' bond is restored . She exiles Hans back to the Southern Isles to face punishment from his family and cuts off trade with the Duke of Weselton 's town for his earlier behavior towards her . Frozen fever ( edit ) Main article : Frozen Fever Nearly a year after the events of the first film , Elsa tries to make Anna 's 19th birthday as perfect as possible a way of making up for the years they spent apart . To do so , she works heavily with Kristoff , Sven and Olaf to make this a reality . Upon making sure that her surprise party in the palace courtyard is ready , she leaves Kristoff in charge while she goes to get Anna . However , Elsa starts to come down with a cold as she leads Anna on a treasure hunt to find all the gifts that have been made for her . Without realizing it , each sneeze she makes creates small snowmen called `` snowgies '' , which create trouble for Kristoff , Sven and Olaf . As Anna notices Elsa 's cold getting worse , she tries in vain to get Elsa to stop exerting herself , even taking medicine from Oaken in case Elsa gets sicker . Unfortunately , Elsa 's cold cause her to become very tired and behave in a seemingly intoxicated - like manner , and she nearly falls from Arendelle 's clock tower only for Anna to save her . Upon finally admitting to Anna that she is indeed sick after the previous incident , she allows Anna to escort her home feeling she has ruined everything , and finds that the party has gone off successfully for Anna ( as well as discovering her snowgie creations ) , and still slightly intoxicated , she ends the party by accidentally sneezing into the birthday bugle horn , which inadvertently sends a gigantic snowball all the way to the Southern Isles and hits the now - demoted Hans , causing him to fall into a pile of horse manure . Afterwards , Anna tells a now bed - ridden Elsa that she has given her the best birthday ever by letting her take care of her . Once Upon a time ( edit ) Elsa Once Upon a Time character First appearance `` There 's No Place Like Home '' ( 3.22 ) Last appearance `` Heroes and Villains '' ( 4.11 ) Created by Edward Kitsis Adam Horowitz Portrayed by Georgina Haig Information Occupation Queen of Arendelle Family Queen Gerda and King of Arendelle ( deecased parents ) Anna ( younger sister ) Ingrid and Helga ( maternal aunts ) Kristoff ( brother - in - law ) Centric episodes `` There 's No Place Like Home '' ( cameo ) `` A Tale of Two Sisters '' `` White Out '' `` Rocky Road '' `` The Apprentice '' `` Breaking Glass '' `` Family Business '' `` The Snow Queen '' `` Smash the Mirror '' `` Fall '' `` Shattered Sight '' `` Heroes and Villains '' Elsa appears as a recurring character in the fourth season of the television series Once Upon a Time , where she is portrayed by Georgina Haig . At the end of the show 's third season finale , `` There 's No Place Like Home '' , Emma Swan ( Snow White and Prince Charming 's daughter ) and Captain Hook accidentally bring back an urn from Rumplestiltskin 's vault after their excursion into the past . The urn releases a blue liquid that coalesces into Elsa . She takes off her glove and destroys the urn with an icy blast . She strides out of the barn , leaving a trail of frozen ground . In the fourth - season premiere , `` A Tale of Two Sisters , '' Elsa 's story is shown in the present day as well as flashbacks taking place two years after the events of the film . In the past , she discovers that her and Anna 's parents set off not on a diplomatic mission , but on a journey to Misthaven -- the `` Enchanted Forest '' where most of Storybrooke 's fairy - tale residents came from -- to discover more about Elsa 's powers , with Anna 's travelling to Misthaven to find out more about her parents ' voyage . In the present , Elsa is frightened by her sudden exposure into the town of modern - day Storybrooke and re-conjures Marshmallow for protection . Marshmallow is defeated by Regina Mills ( the Evil Queen ) , while Elsa discovers a necklace she gave long ago to Anna in Mr. Gold 's ( Rumplestiltskin 's ) shop , leaving her resolved to learn what happened to her sister . As the season progresses , Elsa befriends series protagonist Emma Swan , Emma and the series ' central cast resolving the help Elsa find Anna . The group eventually discovers that a figure named the Snow Queen ( a more faithful adaptation of the original fairy tale 's character ) is somehow responsible for Elsa 's trapping in her urn , a woman with similar powers to Elsa . They soon discover that the Snow Queen is Elsa 's aunt , Ingrid , who was forgotten from Arendelle when Elsa 's mother , Gerda , used the power of the troll king to erase everyones memory of her , not wishing for the world to remember how Ingrid accidentally killed their third sister , Helga . Ingrid soon discovered a prophecy that stated she would one day have the love of her sisters again . With Ingrid 's sisters dead however , she believed she would be forced to create new sisters . For this , she chose Emma and Elsa . Ingrid had stalked Emma her entire life in preparation for the prophecy to become true , and manipulated events in Arendelle to bring Elsa to her . Being convinced that she could only gain their love when she was the only one left , she obtained a mirror capable of bringing out the worst in people ( the mirror coming directly from The Snow Queen fairy tale ) . If a piece of the mirror were to get in someones eye , they would see nothing but hatred in the world . Ingrid had planned to use this on everyone in Storybrooke ( dubbed the Spell of Shattered Sight ) , forcing all of its citizens to kill each other while she , Emma , and Elsa remained immune . Ingrid had also used this to her advantage on Anna , forcing Anna to trap Elsa in the urn they originally found Elsa in . Back in Arendelle , Anna ( who has woken up from the spell ) tried to track down a device known as a wishing star , which will have the power to bring her and Kristoff to wherever Elsa is . It was apparently the necklace Elsa had given Anna long ago , Elsa using it to bring Anna and Kristoff to Storybrooke . However , the Spell of Shattered Sight had already begun , and the only ones immune to it were Elsa , Emma , and Anna ( Anna because it was already used on her a while ago ) . Tracking down a note written by Elsa and Anna 's mother right before her death , the three bring it to Ingrid . It reads that Gerda forgave Ingrid for all that had transpired and still loved her , Ingrid realizing this was what the prophecy meant by regaining her sister 's love . Realizing there is no point in killing the town now , the Snow Queen kills herself using the mirror , which deactivates the curse , though a bit of it remained in Storybrooke , reinstating the town line , making it impossible to return to town if you are to leave it . With the help of Rumpelstiltskin , they are able to discover a door that will lead back to Arendelle , though they will not be able to return , as the door will disappear after its use . Anna and Kristoff depart , while Elsa and Emma share a tearful goodbye before returning to Arendelle with her little sister to attend the long - awaited wedding between Anna and Kristoff . In `` Poor Unfortunate Soul '' , it 's revealed that , when Blackbeard attacked Arendelle , Elsa shrunk and trapped him and the Jolly Roger inside a bottle , unknowingly trapping Ariel inside as well . With the introduction of Frozen characters , the season 4 of Once Upon a Time saw a 31 - percent increase in ratings from the autumn of 2013 ( 9.3 million viewers ) , marking its best ratings in almost two years . Olaf 's Frozen Adventure ( edit ) Main article : Olaf 's Frozen Adventure Elsa will appear in a 21 - minute holiday film along with Anna , Kristoff , Sven , and Olaf , which will debut in theaters with Disney Pixar 's Coco on November 22 , 2017 . Miscellaneous ( edit ) Merchandise ( edit ) In December 2013 , Disney began releasing `` Musical Magic Elsa and Anna Dolls '' , which played their signature songs that appear in the film . Numerous other doll versions of Elsa were released for purchase , including fashion doll sets , mini dolls , plush dolls , and Elsa - as - a-toddler dolls . A dress up costume for children was modeled after Elsa 's ice gown along with gloves similar to ones she wears in the film . Together with Anna , she was depicted on various Frozen - inspired dishware such as plates and coffee mugs . Other Elsa - inspired merchandise includes luggage , nightgowns , and home décor . Additionally , simplified versions of the film were adapted to children 's storybooks , including one with voice audio and another called A Sister More Like Me that was illustrated by Brittney Lee . Elsa and Anna also both appear as playable characters in Disney Infinity through the use of their corresponding figurines . In early 2014 , most Frozen merchandise , including dolls and dresses , were sold out nearly everywhere , including Disney stores and theme parks . In early November 2014 , Disney announced that it had sold over three million Frozen costumes in North America alone , of which Elsa was the no . 1 best - selling Disney costume of all time , followed by Anna at no . 2 . Hallmark created a Queen Elsa Christmas tree ornament after much interest was expressed when the Olaf ornament was announced in 2014 . Theme Parks ( edit ) Elsa meet - and - greet at Disneyland in California in 2013 . In November , before the release of Frozen , Anna and Elsa began making appearances at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts in Florida and California through meet and greets . In Walt Disney World , the attractions were set up in the Norway Pavilion of Epcot in recognition of the Scandinavian cultural elements that went into the film 's design . In Disneyland , a winter - themed cottage was set up in the Fantasyland section , with a talking audio - animatronic Olaf sitting on the cottage roof . In February 2014 , these meet - and - greet sessions were extended indefinitely , with wait time to meet the princesses frequently exceeding two hours , which is longer than any previous Disney characters . Additionally , Elsa , Anna , and Olaf were given a Frozen - themed float for Disneyland Paris ' Disney Magic on Parade . On March 9 , 2014 , the three made appearances again on their own Frozen parade float in Festival of Fantasy Parade at Magic Kingdom theme park . On April 20 , 2014 , Anna and Elsa moved from Epcot to the Princess Fairytale Hall at Magic Kingdom , with wait time to see the characters amounted to three hours , compared to Cinderella 's and Rapunzel 's 15 minutes . Elsa 's performance of `` Let It Go '' became the central feature in Disney California Adventure 's Winter Dreams , a 30 - minute , winter - themed adaption of the nighttime show World of Color , which showcases scenes from Disney films . Disneyland Paris ' nighttime spectacular , Disney Dreams ! , also added Elsa 's performance of `` Let It Go '' to their attractions , and she was given a similar role during the Magic Kingdom show , Celebrate the Magic , with her singing interspersed with scenes from the movie . On May 16 , 2014 , it was announced that Disneyland would debut a Frozen pre-parade featuring Elsa , Anna and Olaf . It premiered June 13 , 2014 , and preceded performances of Mickey 's Soundsational Parade . From July 5 to September 1 , 2014 , as part of ' Frozen ' Summer Fun show at Disney 's Hollywood Studios , Anna and Elsa will appear in a horse - drawn sleigh making their way down Hollywood Boulevard , alongside Kristoff and skaters , skiers and ice cutters in the Anna and Elsa 's Royal Welcome section . The sisters also made appearances in For the First Time in Forever : A `` Frozen '' Sing - Along Celebration , where they were joined by royal historians to retell the history of Arendelle ; and `` Frozen '' Fireworks Spectacular alongside Kristoff and Olaf , a fireworks display set to the music of Frozen . In response to strong demand , Disney Parks subsequently announced on August 7 that Frozen Summer Fun would be extended to September 28 . On August 19 , 2014 , it was initially announced that Elsa & Anna 's Boutique ( replacing Studio Disney 365 ) would open mid-September in Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort . The opening date was later changed to October 6 , 2014 , and the store name was changed to `` Anna & Elsa 's Boutique '' . The location includes products inspired by Anna , Elsa , and Olaf . While there had not been any official announcements from Disney regarding a coronation for Anna and Elsa , it had been announced in late August 2014 that a special character meal would be held by a group of travel agents in the morning of September 24 , 2014 . While not officially organized by Disney , the event , called My Royal Coronation , would feature the official Anna and Elsa characters owned by Disney with assistance from the company . On September 12 , 2014 , Walt Disney World announced that a Frozen attraction was scheduled to open in early 2016 at Epcot 's World Showcase in the Norway pavilion , replacing the park 's Maelstrom ride . The attraction features the kingdom of Arendelle with music and scenes from the film , as well as meet - and - greets with Anna and Elsa . Anna , Elsa , Kristoff , and Olaf will make appearances in Mickey 's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade , offered during Mickey 's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom in November and December 2014 ( from November 7 to December 31 ) . Also starting from November , every night Elsa will use her powers to transform Cinderella Castle into an ice palace . On November 13 , 2014 , prior to `` A Sparkling Christmas '' Evert , Anna and Elsa began meet - and - greet sessions at Hong Kong Disneyland . Beginning December 20 , 2014 , the Anna and Elsa meet and greet at Disneyland Resort was moved from Disneyland park to a new location in the Disney Animation Building called `` Anna and Elsa 's Royal Welcome '' in Disney California Adventure .

Beginning May 22 , 2015 , Disneyland debuted a new nighttime parade called `` Paint the Night '' , which includes a Frozen float featuring Anna , Elsa , and Olaf , as part of the park 's 60th anniversary celebration . Cosplay ( edit ) Elsa has become very popular in the cosplaying community . Cosplayer Anna Faith is well known for cosplaying as Elsa at charities , comic - cons , and other events . Broadway Musical ( edit ) Caissie Levy will originate the role of Elsa in the Broadway musical , which is scheduled to open spring 2018 . Reception ( edit ) Critical reviews ( edit ) `` Not content to merely turn True Love into a cautionary tale , ( the writers ) doubled down and made Elsa into ( a ) flawed hero warped by her upbringing and parents ' heartfelt but damaging desire to keep their children safe ... Elsa is aloof . And scared . And over-protective . And insecure . And full of guilt . Because people -- even animated people -- are the sum total of their personalities combined with their experiences . Which is something even live action films forget at least 63 % of the time . '' -- Donna Dickens , entertainment editor . The character of Elsa was widely praised by reviewers for her multifaceted , evolving personality . Matt Goldberg of Collider.com commented that she was `` an incredibly sympathetic character '' while Deepanjana Pal of First Post ( India ) praised the decision to rewrite her as a protagonist and said , `` Elsa is no evil , frosty vision of twisted and toxic maternity like the original Snow Queen . She 's a young woman in difficult circumstances , frightened , trying to understand her abilities and burdened by expectation and convention . It 's easy to sympathise with her and marvel at her ability when she builds her spectacular palace in the mountains . Next to her , Anna is very much a child who needs to grow up and she does in the course of the film . '' Stuff.co.nz 's James Croot compared her `` humiliation and exile '' to that of Simba in The Lion King . Katherine Webb , a reviewer for Wall St. Cheat Sheet , said that the scenes depicting Elsa gaining confidence and individuality delivered `` an exciting message to send to young girls looking for a new princess role model '' . Gary Wright of Rotoscopers state `` Her mental anguish and uncontrollable powers define modern feminism . Elsa represents the boundless female spirit - strong and graceful , with the power to change the world . '' Travis Bean of Cedar Falls Times suggested that Elsa 's ice powers , a `` personal oddity '' that made her self - conscious , as well as her selflessness in withdrawing into isolation in order to avoid hurting others allowed children to connect more with the plot of Frozen . Laurie Levy from Chicago Now wrote that her young grandchildren `` admired Elsa for being smart , strong , magical , and powerful '' and did not care that she had no romantic subplot . Magdalena Lachowicz , a film critic for The Heights , opined that Elsa 's relationship with Anna was the most important part of the movie , and Stephen Holden of The New York Times liked that , in departure from traditional Disney formula , it was a sibling 's love rather than romantic love that was able to `` thaw the icy heart of the frightened Elsa '' . Tony Hicks of San Jose Mercury News wrote , `` ( Anna 's ) confusion and Elsa 's anguish as she shuts herself away from the world -- and her sister -- is palatable . '' Emma Koonse of Christian Post opined that together the sisters were Disney 's `` most lovable and charismatic characters yet '' , and Debbie Lynn Elias of Culver City Observer commented , `` Elsa and Anna are like two sides of a coin , both strong , albeit one through power and confidence and the other through clumsy sticktuitiveness and love . '' Several reviewers commented that Elsa was more interesting than Anna , Frozen 's primary protagonist . ABS - CBN writer Fred Hawson described Elsa as `` an incredible character with a unique and interesting predicament because of the powers she possessed '' and expressed the opinion that Frozen should have focused more on her rather than Anna . Samra Muslim of The Express Tribune wrote that it was her presence that kept viewers `` hooked '' throughout the movie , elaborating , `` Her character is complex and sympathetic and deserved to be explored even further . Instead the story revolves more around the relationship of the two sisters and Anna who is the typical , feisty , charming Disney heroine and her love trysts -- instead of the alluring Elsa . '' The character was not devoid of criticism . Charlotte O'Sullivan from the London Evening Standard gave a more negative assessment of Elsa , saying that she `` resembles one of those brittle mentors on The X Factor . Purple eyeshadow , tiny waist , kitten heels '' . Anna Smith of The Guardian disliked that both Elsa and Anna were drawn with slender figures and large eyes as is typical of Disney princesses . Slate 's Dana Stevens wrote that `` it 's impossible not to thrill to Elsa 's surging sense of power '' but criticized the choice to illustrate her growing confidence by changing her appearance ; Stevens further expressed concern that the switch from the character 's modest coronation gown to `` a slinky , slit - to - the - thigh dress with a transparent snowflake - patterned train and a pair of silver - white high heels '' and a hairstyle that suggested `` come - hither bad - girl seduction '' was overly sexual . Christy Lemire compared Elsa to Carrie White , another well - known fictional female who unleashes magical powers when agitated . `` Let it Go '' ( edit ) Main article : Let It Go ( Disney song ) Idina Menzel also received praise for her singing , with Amon Warmann of Cine Vue saying her voice `` positively soars in these musical ballads '' . Reviewers frequently focused on her performance of `` Let It Go '' , described by Entertainment Weekly 's Marc Snetiker as `` an incredible anthem of liberation '' in which Elsa decides to no longer fear her powers . Various critics said that Menzel had been a `` powerhouse '' during the scene ; Linda Barnard from The Star commented that Menzel `` can shatter icicles with her powerful voice '' . Matt DeTruck of The Rochester City Newspaper wrote , `` Menzel should be credited for providing as much power and passion to this performance as she did in her most famous role . '' Donald Clark of Irish Times added , `` Elsa 's flight to the glaciers triggers a song that , in its defiant paean to self - reliance , could play comfortably beside camp showtune anthems such as I Am What I Am and Do n't Rain on My Parade . The opening and closing choruses of Let It Go end with a sly , spat - out refrain : ' The cold never bothered me anyway ! ' You go , girl . '' Nasim Asl of The Oxford Student continued , `` Menzel , especially , steals the show with her performance of ' Let It Go ' . Her Wicked-esque belting out works perfectly with such an incredible animated sequence -- the building of the ice castle really demonstrates the prowess of Disney animation , and results in , arguably , one of the most spectacular power ballads seen by any animated character , ever . '' Accolades ( edit ) In December 2013 , Elsa and Anna were both nominated for Best Animated Female by the Alliance of Women Film Journalists , with only Anna winning the award , a few weeks later . Elsa won all three awards out of three nominations at the 2013 Visual Effects Society Awards , including Outstanding Animated Character in an Animated Feature Motion Picture , Outstanding Created Environment in an Animated Feature Motion Picture for her ice palace , and Outstanding FX and Simulation Animation in an Animated Feature Motion Picture for her blizzard . Her signature song , `` Let It Go '' , won Best Original Song at the Academy Awards , the Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards and the Critics ' Choice Awards , and also received Golden Globe Award , the Satellite Awards , the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award , and the Houston Film Critics Society Award nominations . Time ranked Elsa as the most influential fictional character of 2014 . References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Lee , Jennifer ( September 23 , 2013 ) . `` Frozen 's Final Shooting Draft '' ( PDF ) .

-7687137774682291941 | Hospital emergency codes | Hospital emergency codes - wikipedia Hospital emergency codes Back of a hospital ID badge showing disaster codes . Hospital emergency codes are coded messages often announced over a public address system of a hospital to alert staff to various classes of on - site emergencies . The use of codes is intended to convey essential information quickly and with minimal misunderstanding to staff while preventing stress and panic among visitors to the hospital . Such codes are sometimes posted on placards throughout the hospital or are printed on employee identification badges for ready reference . Hospital emergency codes have often varied widely by location , even between hospitals in the same community . Confusion over these codes has led to the proposal for and sometimes adoption of standardized codes . In many American , Canadian , New Zealand and Australian hospitals , for example `` code blue '' indicates a patient has entered cardiac arrest , while `` code red '' indicates that a fire has broken out somewhere in the hospital facility . In order for a code call to be useful in activating the response of specific hospital personnel to a given situation , it is usually accompanied by a specific location description ( e.g. , `` Code red , Second floor , corridor three , room two - twelve '' ) . Other codes , however , only signal hospital staff generally to prepare for the fallout of some external event such as a natural disaster .

'' While codes for fire ( red ) and medical emergency ( blue ) were similar in 90 % of California hospitals queried , 47 different codes were used for infant abduction and 61 for combative person . In light of this , HASC published a handbook titled `` Healthcare Facility Emergency Codes : A Guide for Code Standardization '' listing various codes and has strongly urged hospitals to voluntarily implement the revised codes . In 2003 , Maryland mandated that all acute hospitals in the state have uniform codes . In 2008 , the Oregon Association of Hospitals & Health Systems , Oregon Patient Safety Commission , and Washington State Hospital Association formed a taskforce to standardize emergency code calls under the leadership of the Dr. Lawrence Schecter , Chief Medical Officer , Providence Regional Medical Center Everett . After both states had conducted a survey from all hospital members , the taskforce found many hospitals used the same code for fire ( code Red ) ; however , there were tremendous variations existed for codes representing respiratory and cardiac arrest , infant and child abduction , and combative person . After deliberations and decisions , the taskforce suggested the following as the Hospital Emergency Code : Code Blue : Heart or Respiration Stops ( An adult or child 's heart has stopped or they are not breathing . ) Code Red : Fire ( alternative : Massive Postpartum Hemorrhage ) Code Pink : Infant abduction Code Orange : Hazardous Spills ( A hazardous material spill or release ; Unsafe exposure to spill . ) Code Silver : Weapon or Hostage Situation Code Grey : Combative Person ( Combative or abusive behavior by patients , families , visitors , staff or physicians ) If a weapon is involved `` CODE SILVER '' should be called . Amber Alert : Infant / Child Abduction Internal Triage : Internal Emergency ( Internal emergency in multiple departments including : Bomb or bomb threat ; Computer network down ; Major plumbing problems ; and Power or telephone outage . ) External Triage : External Disaster ( External emergencies impacting hospital including : Mass casualties ; Severe weather ; Massive power outages ; and Nuclear , biological , and chemical accidents ) Rapid Response Team : Medical Team Needed at Bedside ( A patient 's medical condition is declining and needs an emergency medical team at the bedside ) Prior to heart or respiration stopping Code Clear : Announced when emergency is over In 2015 , the South Carolina Hospital Association formed a work group to develop plain language standardization code recommendations . Abolishing all color codes was suggested . Codes ( edit ) Note : Different codes are used in different hospitals . Code Blue ( edit ) `` Code blue '' redirects here . For other uses , see Code Blue . Medical lockdown ( edit ) `` Code Blue '' is generally used to indicate a patient requiring resuscitation or in need of immediate medical attention , most often as the result of a respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest ( by cardiac arrest is nowadays considered to not just mean asystole , the most severe example , but also pulseless electrical activity ( PEA ) , coarse or fine ventricular fibrillation ( VF or V - fib ) , or unstable irregular ventricular tachycardia ( VT or V - tach ) - some of these lethal , non-circulating arrhythmias are shockable by a defibrillator , some are not and are primarily treated by epinephrine and similar drugs ) . When called overhead , the page takes the form of `` Code Blue , ( floor ) , ( room ) '' to alert the resuscitation team where to respond . Every hospital , as a part of its disaster plans , sets a policy to determine which units provide personnel for code coverage . In theory any medical professional may respond to a code , but in practice the team makeup is limited to those with advanced cardiac life support or other equivalent resuscitation training . Frequently these teams are staffed by physicians ( from anesthesia and internal medicine in larger medical centers or the Emergency physician in smaller ones ) , respiratory therapists , pharmacists , and nurses . A code team leader will be a physician in attendance on any code team ; this individual is responsible for directing the resuscitation effort and is said to `` run the code '' . This phrase was coined at Bethany Medical Center in Kansas City , Kansas . The term `` code '' by itself is commonly used by medical professionals as a slang term for this type of emergency , as in `` calling a code '' or describing a patient in arrest as `` coding '' or `` coded '' . Australian Standard Californian Standard In some hospitals or other medical facilities , the resuscitation team may purposely respond slowly to a patient in cardiac arrest , a practice known as `` slow code '' , or may fake the response altogether for the sake of the patient 's family , a practice known as `` show code '' . Such practices are ethically controversial , and are banned in some jurisdictions . Variations ( edit ) `` Plan Blue '' was used at St. Vincent 's Hospital in New York City to indicate arrival of a trauma patient so critically injured that even the short delay of a stop in the ER for evaluation could be fatal ; the `` Plan Blue '' was called out to alert the surgeon on call to go immediately to the ER entrance and take the patient for immediate surgery . This was illustrated in an episode of Trauma : Life in the ER , entitled `` West Side Stories '' . `` Doctor '' codes ( edit ) `` Doctor '' codes are often used in hospital settings for announcements over a general loudspeaker or paging system that might cause panic or endanger a patient 's privacy . Most often , `` Doctor '' codes take the form of `` Paging Dr. Sinclair '' , where the doctor 's `` name '' is a code word for a dangerous situation or a patient in crisis , e.g. : `` Paging Doctor Firestone , third floor , '' to indicate a possible fire on the floor specified . `` Resus '' codes ( edit ) Specific to emergency medicine , incoming patients in immediate danger of life or limb , whether presenting via ambulance or walk - in triage , are paged locally within the emergency department as `` Resus '' ( ri : səs ) codes . These codes indicate the type of emergency ( general medical , trauma , cardiopulmonary or neurological ) and type of patient ( adult or pediatric ) . An estimated time of arrival may be included , or `` now '' if the patient is already in the department . The patient is transported to the nearest open trauma bay or evaluation room , and is immediately attended by a designated team of physicians and nurses for purposes of immediate stabilization and treatment .

"Hospital emergency codes have often varied widely by location, even between hospitals in the same community. Confusion over these codes has led to the proposal for and sometimes adoption of standardized codes. In many American, Canadian, New Zealand and Australian hospitals, for example \"code blue\" indicates a patient has entered cardiac arrest, while \"code red\" indicates that a fire has broken out somewhere in the hospital facility.\n"

Montague ( blue ) and Mr. Capulet ( red ) ( Julie Walters and Richard Wilson ) are two elderly neighbors who despise each other . When they leave their respective gardens , their garden gnomes and other lawn ornaments come alive . The Montague garden is filled with blue - hat gnomes led by Lady Bluebury ( Maggie Smith ) , and the Capulet garden has red - hat gnomes led by Lord Redbrick ( Michael Caine ) . Like their human gardeners , the gnomes also despise each other . The gnomes hold a back alley lawnmower race . Lady Bluebury 's son Gnomeo ( James McAvoy ) and his best friend Benny ( Matt Lucas ) are disappointed to see Mrs. Montague ordering a new `` Kitty Clipper '' lawnmower to replace Gnomeo 's lawnmower . That night , Gnomeo and Benny infiltrate the red garden in black disguise . Benny sprays the reds ' well and accidentally triggers a security light . During the escape Gnomeo ends up in a nearby garden where he bumps into a disguised Juliet ( Emily Blunt ) , the daughter of Lord Redbrick . Juliet is attempting to retrieve a unique orchid , and the two romantically fight over it . They each discover the other 's color before fleeing the garden . When they both go back to their own gardens , Juliet tells her frog - sprinkler friend Nanette ( Ashley Jensen ) about her newfound love . Nanette states that the relationship is romantically tragic . Gnomeo and Juliet have secret meetings in the nearby garden , where they meet a pink plastic flamingo named Featherstone ( Jim Cummings ) who encourages their love . Lord Redbrick pairs Juliet with a Red Gnome named Paris ( Stephen Merchant ) , but Juliet is n't interested in him and distracts him with Nanette who has feelings for him . Lady Bluebury is distraught after the reds infiltrate the garden and destroy the plant nurtured by Gnomeo 's late father . The blues want Gnomeo to take revenge on the reds , and he realizes that he can not refuse unless he tells his secret . Just as he is about to spray the prized tulips of the reds , Juliet sees him and he backs out of the attack . When he and Juliet meet up again , they argue until Featherstone stops them , telling them he lost his wife when the couple living in the house , where the garden is , broke up and never saw each other again . Benny sees them and runs away into the alleyway , where Gnomeo 's rival , Tybalt ( Jason Statham ) , is waiting with his lawnmower , attempting to run Benny down and ends up chops off his hat . Gnomeo intervenes , and he and Tybalt fight on the red lawnmower until the lawnmower runs into the wall . Gnomeo jumps off at the last minute , but Tybalt crashes into the wall , causing him to shatter himself . The reds attempt to attack Gnomeo , thinking that Tybalt died because of him . To the surprise of her clan , Juliet defends Gnomeo , saying that she loves him . Gnomeo ends up on a road , and everyone believes he was run over by a truck . Lord Redbrick has the other red gnomes glue Juliet 's feet to her fountain because he does not want to lose her like he lost her mother . Gnomeo 's mushroom friend , Shroom , finds out that Gnomeo is still alive as blue teapots fell out of the truck that `` ran him over '' , which all the gnomes came to believe was Gnomeo . He and Featherstone eventually reaches a park where Gnomeo climbs onto a statue of William Shakespeare ( Patrick Stewart ) and tells him his story . Shakespeare tells Gnomeo that his story is very similar to another and that it is likely Gnomeo 's will have a sad ending as well . Benny gets onto Miss . Montague 's computer and changes her lawnmower order to a powerful Terrafirminator unit , intending to get revenge on the reds . However , the Terrafirminator goes out of control , destroys most of the two gardens , and gets itself stuck while the gnomes wage a full - scale war . Gnomeo returns to Juliet with the help of Featherstone . However , when he arrives , the Terrafirminator frees itself , sending it flying . Gnomeo tries to un-glue Juliet , but is unable to . She tells him to go , but he refuses . The two share a passionate kiss just as the lawnmower crashes into the fountain , self - destructing in the process . When everyone believes that both are dead , Lord Redbrick and Lady Bluebury decide to end the feud . Miraculously , Gnomeo and Juliet emerge from the ruins and the two clans celebrate . Miss . Montague and Mr. Capulet come home to find their backyards a mess . The film ends happily with an epilogue . The red and blue gnomes finally coming together to celebrate their newfound peace . Benny and Nanette are in love , Lord Redbrick and Lady Blueberry became best friends , Tybalt is revealed to still be alive having been glued back together , Featherstone is reunited with his wife after Benny finds and orders her online , and Gnomeo and Juliet are married on a purple lawnmower , which symbolizes the new union of both gnome clans . Differences from the 1597 tragedy by William Shakespeare ( edit ) In the tragedy the characters live in Verona , Italy , but in the film Stratford upon Avon ( this is also the birthplace of William Shakespeare . ) Tybalt never redeems himself in the tragedy but in the film he does . Count Paris is not a villain . The characters are all gnomes . They do n't meet at a masked party . The two main characters do n't die off . It takes place in the present . It features Dante from the Devil May Cry series . It 's British . It features celebrities . It 's CGI .

Production ( edit ) The film was the original idea of Sprackling and Smith , who sold the spec script to Disney through Rocket Pictures . Disney studio chairman Dick Cook greenlit the film , under the Disney - owned Miramax Films . Miramax was later sold by Disney in 2010 , but the latter studio retained the rights to the film . Disney then opted to release the film through its Touchstone Pictures banner , when Starz Animation decided to produce and animate the film . Disney Australian director Adam Elliot was approached and asked to direct the film , but he rejected the offer due the film 's incompatibility with his style , as well as his lack of experience with CGI . Starz Animation Toronto ( which also made 9 ) produced all of the animation for the film , including the stereoscopic version . Asbury got on board in 2006 , and was attracted the movie in order to work with Elton John . Asbury and Hamilton Shaw then rewrote the film `` sort of from scratch , '' A particular challenge , according to Asbury was how to differentiate the ending between the original play and the movie in order to `` keep daggers and poison and suicide out '' . Ashbury had free range of the casting and conducted the process only through listening to voices , not knowing which actor was auditioning until he felt they were right for the character . Prior to the casting of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt , the roles of Gnomeo and Juliet were to be voiced by Ewan McGregor and Kate Winslet , respectively .

Red denotes states won by Bush / Cheney , blue denotes those won by Gore / Lieberman . One of D.C. 's three electors abstained . Numbers indicate electoral votes allotted to the winner of each state . President before election Bill Clinton Democratic Elected President George W. Bush Republican The United States presidential election of 2000 was the 54th quadrennial presidential election . It was held on Tuesday , November 7 , 2000 . Republican candidate George W. Bush , then - incumbent governor of Texas and the eldest son of the 41st President George H.W. Bush , narrowly defeated the Democratic nominee Al Gore , then - incumbent vice president and former Senator for Tennessee , as well as various third - party candidates including Ralph Nader . Incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton was ineligible to serve a third term due to term limitations in the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution , and Vice President Gore was able to secure the Democratic nomination with relative ease . Bush was seen as the early favorite for the Republican nomination and , despite a contentious primary battle with Senator John McCain and other candidates , secured the nomination by Super Tuesday . Bush chose former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney as his running mate , while Gore chose Senator Joe Lieberman as his . Both major party candidates focused primarily on domestic issues , such as the budget , tax relief , and reforms for federal social insurance programs , although foreign policy was not ignored . Clinton and Gore often did not campaign together , a deliberate decision resulting from the Lewinsky sex scandal two years prior . This was the closest presidential election in the nation 's history , with a . 009 % margin , 537 votes , separating the two candidates in the decisive state , Florida . The narrow margin there triggered a mandatory machine recount the next day , after which Gore requested hand recounts in four counties , including three in populous South Florida , as permitted by law . Litigation ensued in numerous counties in both state and federal courts , ultimately reaching the Florida Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court . The high court 's contentious 5 -- 4 decision in Bush v. Gore , announced on December 12 , 2000 , ended a statewide recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court on December 8 , effectively awarding Florida 's votes to Bush and granting him the victory . Nationwide , this was the fourth presidential election in which the winner received fewer votes than his opponent . After the election , recounts conducted by various news media organizations continued a primary focus on ballots that machines read as not showing a vote . Based on the review of these ballots , their results indicated that Bush would have won if certain recounting methods had been used ( including the one favored by Gore at the time of the Supreme Court decision ) , but that Gore might have won under other standards and scenarios . In contrast , according to Lance deHaven - Smith of Florida State University , based on `` the definitive study of the uncounted ballots '' ( the Florida Ballot Project by NORC at the University of Chicago ) , if all the legally valid votes in Florida had been counted statewide , Gore would have been the winner , a conclusion deHaven - Smith calls `` unambiguous and unavoidable . '' The Green Party gained widespread public attention during the 2000 presidential election when the ticket composed of Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke won 2.7 % of the popular vote . Nader was vilified by some Democrats , who accused him of spoiling the election for Gore . Nader 's impact on the 2000 election has remained controversial . This was the last time a Republican candidate won an electoral vote in the region of New England until 2016 , with Donald Trump winning the 2nd Congressional District of Maine . As of 2017 , this was the last election where a Republican candidate won New Hampshire , and the last time the state of Iowa backed the losing candidate . Likewise , this was also the first presidential election that Delaware and Pennsylvania , would fail to vote for the winning candidate since 1948 , and 1968 , with California , Illinois , Michigan , New Mexico , and New Jersey all failing to do the same since 1976 respectively as well . This was also the first presidential election since Jimmy Carter 's narrow victory in 1976 , that a presidential candidate from either party would win a presidential election with fewer than 300 electoral votes , and the first time a Republican would win without breaking that amount since William McKinley 's victory in 1900 .

Candidates for the presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the political parties of the United States , in which case each party devises a method ( such as a primary election ) to choose the candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position . Traditionally , the primary elections are indirect elections where voters cast ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular candidate . The party 's delegates then officially nominate a candidate to run on the party 's behalf . The general election in November is also an indirect election , where voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the Electoral College ; these electors in turn directly elect the President and Vice President . President Bill Clinton , a Democrat and former Governor of Arkansas , was ineligible to seek reelection to a third term due to restrictions of the Twenty - second Amendment . In accordance with Section I of the Twentieth Amendment , his term expired at 12 : 00 noon EST on January 20 , 2001 .

Other prominent Democrats mentioned as possible contenders included Bob Kerrey , Missouri Representative Dick Gephardt , Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone , and famous actor and director Warren Beatty , who declined to run . Of these , only Wellstone formed an exploratory committee . Running an insurgency campaign , Bradley positioned himself as the alternative to Gore , who was a founding member of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council . While former basketball star Michael Jordan campaigned for him in the early primary states , Bradley announced his intention to campaign `` in a different way '' by conducting a positive campaign of `` big ideas '' . The focus of his campaign was a plan to spend the record - breaking budget surplus on a variety of social welfare programs to help the poor and the middle - class , along with campaign finance reform and gun control . Gore easily defeated Bradley in the primaries , largely because of support from the Democratic Party establishment and Bradley 's poor showing in the Iowa caucus , where Gore successfully painted Bradley as aloof and indifferent to the plight of farmers . The closest Bradley came to a victory was his 50 -- 46 loss to Gore in the New Hampshire primary . On March 14 , Al Gore clinched the Democratic nomination . None of Bradley 's delegates were allowed to vote for him , so Gore won the nomination unanimously at the Democratic National Convention . Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman was nominated for vice president by voice vote . Lieberman became the first Jewish American ever to be chosen for this position by a major party . Gore chose Lieberman over five finalists .

Bush became the early front - runner , acquiring unprecedented funding and a broad base of leadership support based on his governorship of Texas and the name recognition and connections of the Bush family . Former cabinet member George Shultz played an important early role in securing establishment Republican support for Bush . In April 1998 , he invited Bush to discuss policy issues with experts including Michael Boskin , John Taylor , and Condoleezza Rice . The group , which was `` looking for a candidate for 2000 with good political instincts , someone they could work with '' , was impressed , and Shultz encouraged him to enter the race . Several aspirants withdrew before the Iowa Caucus because they were unable to secure funding and endorsements sufficient to remain competitive with Bush . These included Elizabeth Dole , Dan Quayle , Lamar Alexander , and Bob Smith . Pat Buchanan dropped out to run for the Reform Party nomination . That left Bush , John McCain , Alan Keyes , Steve Forbes , Gary Bauer , and Orrin Hatch as the only candidates still in the race . On January 24 , Bush won the Iowa caucus with 41 % of the vote . Forbes came in second with 30 % of the vote . Keyes received 14 % , Bauer 9 % , McCain 5 % , and Hatch 1 % . Hatch dropped out . On the national stage , Bush was portrayed in the media as the establishment candidate . McCain , with the support of many moderate Republicans and Independents , portrayed himself as a crusading insurgent who focused on campaign reform . On February 1 , McCain won a 49 -- 30 % victory over Bush in the New Hampshire primary . Gary Bauer dropped out . After coming in third in Delaware Forbes dropped out , leaving three candidates . In the South Carolina primary , Bush soundly defeated McCain . Some McCain supporters blamed it on the Bush campaign , accusing them of mudslinging and dirty tricks , such as push polling that implied that McCain 's adopted Bangladeshi - born daughter was an African - American child he fathered out of wedlock . While McCain 's loss in South Carolina damaged his campaign , he won both Michigan and his home state of Arizona on February 22 . The primary election that year also affected the South Carolina State House , when a controversy about the Confederate flag flying over the capitol dome prompted the state legislature to move the flag to a less prominent position at a Civil War memorial on the capitol grounds . Most GOP candidates said the issue should be left to South Carolina voters , though McCain later recanted and said the flag should be removed . On February 24 , McCain criticized Bush for accepting the endorsement of Bob Jones University despite its policy banning interracial dating . On February 28 , McCain also referred to Rev. Jerry Falwell and televangelist Pat Robertson as `` agents of intolerance '' , a term he would later distance himself from during his 2008 bid . He lost the state of Virginia to Bush on February 29 . On Super Tuesday , March 7 , Bush won New York , Ohio , Georgia , Missouri , California , Maryland , and Maine . McCain won Rhode Island , Vermont , Connecticut , and Massachusetts , but dropped out of the race . McCain would eventually become the Republican presidential nominee 8 years later , which he then lost to Barack Obama . On March 10 , Alan Keyes got 21 % of the vote in Utah . Bush took the majority of the remaining contests and won the Republican nomination on March 14 , winning his home state of Texas and his brother Jeb 's home state of Florida among others . At the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia George W. Bush accepted the nomination of the Republican party . Bush asked former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney to head up a team to help select a running mate for him , but ultimately , Bush decided that Cheney himself should be the vice presidential nominee . While the U.S. Constitution does not specifically disallow a president and a vice president from the same state , it does prohibit electors from casting both of his or her votes for persons from his or her own state . Accordingly , Cheney -- who had been a resident of Texas for nearly 10 years -- changed his voting registration back to Wyoming . Had Cheney not done this , either he or Bush would have forfeited their electoral votes from the Texas electors . Delegate totals Governor George W.

D. , past and then - current Natural Law Party candidate Donald Trump from New York , had left the Republican Party in 1999 due to conflicting ideas on key issues The nomination went to Pat Buchanan and running mate Ezola Foster from California , over the objections of party founder Ross Perot and despite a rump convention nomination of John Hagelin by the Perot faction ( see Other nominations below ) . In the end , the Federal Election Commission sided with Buchanan , and that ticket appeared on 49 of 51 possible ballots . Association of state Green parties nomination ( edit ) Main article : 2000 Green National Convention Ralph Nader Founder of Public Citizen and progressive activist ( campaign ) Green Party candidates : Ralph Nader from Connecticut -- 295 Jello Biafra from California -- 10 Stephen Gaskin from Tennessee -- 11 Joel Kovel from New York -- 3 Abstain -- 1 The Greens / Green Party USA , the then - recognized national party organization , later endorsed Ralph Nader for president and he appeared on the ballots of 43 states and DC . Libertarian Party nomination ( edit ) Main article : 2000 Libertarian National Convention Writer Harry Browne from Tennessee ( campaign ) Libertarian Party candidates delegate totals : Harry Browne from Tennessee -- 493 Don Gorman from New Hampshire -- 166 Jacob Hornberger from Virginia -- 120 Barry Hess from Arizona -- 53 None of the Above -- 23 other write - ins -- 15 David Hollist from California -- 8 The Libertarian Party 's National Nominating Convention nominated Harry Browne from Tennessee and Art Olivier from California for president and vice president respectively . Browne was nominated on the first ballot and Olivier received the vice presidential nomination on the second ballot . Browne appeared on every state ballot except for Arizona , due to a dispute between the Libertarian Party of Arizona ( who instead nominated L. Neil Smith ) and the national Libertarian Party . Constitution Party nomination ( edit ) Main article : Constitution Party National Convention § 1999 Convention Constitution Party candidates : Howard Phillips Herb Titus Mathew Zupan The Constitution Party nominated Howard Phillips from Virginia for a third time and Curtis Frazier from Missouri . The Constitution Party was on the ballot in 41 states . Natural law Party nomination ( edit ) John Hagelin from Iowa and Nat Goldhaber from California The Natural Law Party held its national convention in Arlington , Virginia , August 31 -- September 2 , nominating a ticket of Hagelin / Goldhaber via unanimous decision without a roll - call vote . The party was on 38 of the 51 ballots nationally . General election campaign ( edit ) Although the campaign focused mainly on domestic issues , such as the projected budget surplus , proposed reforms of Social Security and Medicare , health care , and competing plans for tax relief , foreign policy was often an issue . Bush criticized Clinton administration policies in Somalia , where 18 Americans died in 1993 trying to sort out warring factions , and in the Balkans , where United States peacekeeping troops perform a variety of functions . `` I do n't think our troops ought to be used for what 's called nation - building , '' Bush said in the second presidential debate . Bush also pledged to bridge partisan gaps in the nation 's capital , claiming the atmosphere in Washington stood in the way of progress on necessary reforms . Gore , meanwhile , questioned Bush 's fitness for the job , pointing to gaffes made by Bush in interviews and speeches and suggesting the Texas governor lacked the necessary experience to be president . Bill Clinton 's impeachment and the sex scandal that led up to it cast a shadow on the campaign , particularly on his vice president 's run to replace him . Republicans strongly denounced the Clinton scandals , particularly Bush , who made his repeated promise to restore `` honor and dignity '' to the White House a centerpiece of his campaign . Gore studiously avoided the Clinton scandals , as did Lieberman , even though Lieberman had been the first Democratic senator to denounce Clinton 's misbehavior . In fact , some media observers theorized that Gore actually chose Lieberman in an attempt to separate himself from Clinton 's past misdeeds , and help blunt the GOP 's attempts to link him to his boss . Others pointed to the passionate kiss Gore gave his wife during the Democratic Convention , as a signal that despite the allegations against Clinton , Gore himself was a faithful husband . Gore avoided appearing with Clinton , who was shunted to low visibility appearances in areas where he was popular . Experts have argued that this could have cost Gore votes from some of Clinton 's core supporters . Ralph Nader was the most successful of third - party candidates . His campaign was marked by a traveling tour of large `` super-rallies '' held in sports arenas like Madison Square Garden , with retired talk show host Phil Donahue as master of ceremonies . After initially ignoring Nader , the Gore campaign made a pitch to potential Nader supporters in the final weeks of the campaign , downplaying Gore 's differences with Nader on the issues and arguing that Gore 's ideas were more similar to Nader 's than Bush 's were , and noting that Gore had a better chance of winning than Nader . On the other side , the Republican Leadership Council ran pro-Nader ads in a few states in an effort to split the liberal vote . Nader claimed his objective in the campaign was to pass the 5 - percent threshold so his Green Party would be eligible for matching funds in future races . Both vice presidential candidates Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman campaigned aggressively in the 2000 presidential election . Both camps made numerous campaign stops nationwide , often just missing each other such as when Cheney , Hadassah Lieberman , and Tipper Gore attended Chicago 's Taste of Polonia over Labor Day Weekend . Presidential Debates ( edit ) Main article : United States presidential election debates , 2000 There were three presidential debates : October 3 , 2000 , at the University of Massachusetts in Boston October 11 , 2000 , at Wake Forest University in Winston - Salem , North Carolina October 17 , 2000 , at Washington University in Saint Louis , Missouri There was also one vice-presidential debate : October 5 , 2000 , at Centre College in Danville , Kentucky After the 1996 presidential election , the Commission on Presidential Debates set new candidate selection criteria . The new criteria required third - party candidates to poll at least 15 % of the vote in national polls in order to take part in the CPD - sponsored presidential debates . Ralph Nader was blocked from attending a closed circuit screening of the first debate in spite of his holding a ticket . He was barred from attending an interview near the site of the third debate in spite of having a `` perimeter pass '' . Nader later sued the CPD for its role in the former incident . A settlement was reached that included an apology to Nader . Notable expressions and phrases ( edit ) Lockbox / Rainy Day fund : Gore 's description of what he would do with the federal budget surplus . Al Gore invented the Internet : an interpretation of a quote by Al Gore in which he said that he `` took the initiative in creating the Internet '' , to say that he was on the committee that funded the research which led to the formation of the Internet . `` Strategery , '' a phrase uttered by Saturday Night Live 's parodic Bush character ( portrayed by Will Ferrell ) , which was jokingly picked up by Bush staffers to describe their operations . Results ( edit ) Palm Beach County recount With the exceptions of Florida and Gore 's home state of Tennessee , Bush carried the Southern states by comfortable margins ( including then - President Bill Clinton 's home state of Arkansas ) and also secured wins in Ohio , Indiana , most of the rural Midwestern farming states , most of the Rocky Mountain states , and Alaska . Gore balanced Bush by sweeping the Northeastern United States ( with the sole exception of New Hampshire , which Bush won narrowly ) , most of the Upper Midwest , and all of the Pacific Coast states as well as Hawaii and New Mexico . As the night wore on , the returns in a handful of small - to - medium - sized states , including Wisconsin and Iowa , were extremely close ; however , it was the state of Florida that would decide the winner of the election . As the final national results were tallied the following morning , Bush had clearly won a total of 246 electoral votes , while Gore had won 249 votes . Two hundred and seventy votes were needed to win . Two smaller states -- Wisconsin ( 10 electoral votes ) and Oregon ( 7 electoral votes ) -- were still too close to call . It was Florida ( 25 electoral votes ) , however , on which the news media focused its attention . Mathematically , Florida 's 25 electoral votes became the key to an election win for either candidate . Although both Wisconsin and Oregon were declared in favor of Gore over the next few days , Florida 's statewide vote took center stage because that state 's winner would ultimately win the election . The outcome of the election was not known for more than a month after the balloting ended because of the time required to count and recount Florida 's presidential ballots . Florida recount ( edit ) Main article : 2000 United States presidential election recount in Florida 2000 Palm Beach County voting stand and ballot box Between 7 : 50 p.m. and 8 : 00 p.m. EST on election day , just before the polls closed in the largely Republican Florida panhandle , which is in the Central time zone , all major television news networks ( CNN , NBC , FOX , CBS and ABC ) declared that Gore had carried Florida 's 25 electoral votes . They based this prediction substantially on exit polls . However , in the actual vote tally Bush began to take a wide lead early in Florida , and by 10 p.m. EST the networks had retracted that prediction and placed Florida back into the `` undecided '' column . At approximately 2 : 30 a.m. , with some 85 % of the votes counted in Florida and Bush leading Gore by more than 100,000 votes , the networks declared that Bush had carried Florida and therefore had been elected president . However , most of the remaining votes to be counted in Florida were located in three heavily Democratic counties -- Broward , Miami - Dade , and Palm Beach -- and as their votes were reported Gore began to gain on Bush . By 4 : 30 a.m. , after all votes were counted , Gore had narrowed Bush 's margin to under 2,000 votes , and the networks retracted their predictions that Bush had won Florida and the presidency . Gore , who had privately conceded the election to Bush , withdrew his concession . The final result in Florida was slim enough to require a mandatory recount ( by machine ) under state law ; Bush 's lead dwindled to just over 900 votes when it was completed the day after the election . On November 8 , Florida Division of Elections staff prepared a press release for Secretary of State Harris that said overseas ballots must be `` postmarked or signed and dated '' by Election Day . It was never released . A count of the overseas ballots later boosted Bush 's margin to 930 votes . ( According to a report by The New York Times , 680 of the accepted overseas ballots were received after the legal deadline , lacked required postmarks , were unsigned or undated , cast after election day , from unregistered voters or voters not requesting ballots , lacked a witness signature or address , or were double - counted . ) Florida Supreme Court during the recount Most of the post-electoral controversy revolved around Gore 's request for hand recounts in four counties ( Broward , Miami Dade , Palm Beach , and Volusia ) , as provided under Florida state law . Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris ( also the co-chair of George W. Bush 's election efforts in Florida ) announced she would reject any revised totals from those counties if they were not turned in by 5 : 00 p.m. on November 14 , the statutory deadline for amended returns . The Florida Supreme Court extended the deadline to November 26 , a decision later vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court . Miami - Dade eventually halted its recount and resubmitted its original total to the state canvassing board , while Palm Beach County failed to meet the extended deadline , turning in its completed recount results at 7 : 00 p.m. , which Harris indeed rejected . On November 26 , the state canvassing board certified Bush the winner of Florida 's electors by 537 votes . Gore formally contested the certified results . A state court decision overruling Gore was reversed by the Florida Supreme Court , which ordered a recount of over 70,000 ballots previously rejected as undervotes by machine counters . The U.S. Supreme Court halted that order the next day , with Justice Scalia issuing a concurring opinion that `` the counting of votes that are of questionable legality does in my view threaten irreparable harm to petitioner '' ( Bush ) . Supporters for the Gore - Lieberman ticket outside the U.S. Supreme Court On December 12 , the Supreme Court ruled in a 7 -- 2 vote that the Florida Supreme Court 's ruling requiring a statewide recount of ballots was unconstitutional on equal protection grounds , and in a 5 -- 4 vote reversed and remanded the case to the Florida Supreme Court for modification prior to the optional `` safe harbor '' deadline , which the Florida court had said the state intended to meet . With only two hours remaining until the December 12 deadline , the Supreme Court 's order effectively ended the recount , and the previously certified total held . Even if the Supreme Court had decided differently in Bush v. Gore , the Florida Legislature had been meeting in Special Session since December 8 with the sole stated purpose being the selection of a slate of electors on December 12 , should the dispute still be ongoing . Had the recount gone forward , it would have awarded those electors to Bush , based on the state - certified vote , and the likely last recourse for Gore would have been to contest the electors in the United States Congress . The electors would then only have been rejected if both GOP - controlled houses had agreed to reject them . National results ( edit ) Though Gore came in second in the electoral vote , he received 547,398 more popular votes than Bush , making him the first person since Grover Cleveland in 1888 to win the popular vote but lose in the Electoral College . Gore failed to win the popular vote in his home state , Tennessee , which both he and his father had represented in the Senate , making him the first major - party presidential candidate to have lost his home state since George McGovern lost South Dakota in 1972 . Furthermore , Gore lost West Virginia , a state that had voted Republican only once in the previous six presidential elections , and Bill Clinton 's home state of Arkansas , which had voted twice before to elect Gore vice president . A victory in any of these three states would have given Gore enough electoral votes to win the presidency . Bush - Cheney and Gore - Lieberman supporters protest Bush is also the first Republican in American history to win the presidency without winning Vermont or Illinois , the second Republican to win the presidency without winning California ( James A. Garfield in 1880 was the first ) or Pennsylvania ( Richard Nixon in 1968 was the first ) , and the first winning Republican not to receive any electoral votes from California ( Garfield received one vote in 1880 ) . Bush also lost in Connecticut , the state of his birth . This election marks the last time a Republican won the presidency without winning Iowa . As of 2016 , Bush is the last Republican nominee to win New Hampshire , while Gore is the last losing candidate to win Iowa . There were only two counties in the entire nation that voted Democratic in 2000 and that had voted Republican in 1996 . Those were Charles County , Maryland ; and Orange County Florida , both rapidly diversifying counties . The 2000 election was also the last time a Republican won a number of populous urban counties that have since turned into Democratic strongholds . These include Mecklenburg County , North Carolina ( Charlotte ) ; Marion County , Indiana ( Indianapolis ) , Fairfax County , Virginia ( DC Suburbs ) , and Travis County , Texas ( Austin ) . In 2016 , the most recent Presidential Election , Republican Donald Trump lost Mecklenburg by 30 % , Marion by 23 % , Fairfax by 36 % , and Travis by 38 % . Conversely , as of 2017 Gore is the last Democrat to have won any counties at all in Oklahoma .

When adding Smith 's 5,775 Arizona votes to Browne 's 384,431 votes nationwide , that brings the total presidential votes cast for the Libertarian Party in 2000 to 390,206 . Aftermath ( edit ) After Florida was decided and Gore conceded , Texas Governor George W. Bush became the president - elect and began forming his transition committee . In a speech on December 13 , in the Texas House of Representatives chamber , Bush stated he was reaching across party lines to bridge a divided America , saying , `` the President of the United States is the President of every single American , of every race , and every background . '' Post recount ( edit ) On January 6 , 2001 , a joint session of Congress met to certify the electoral vote . Twenty members of the House of Representatives , most of them Democratic members of the Congressional Black Caucus , rose one - by - one to file objections to the electoral votes of Florida . However , pursuant to the Electoral Count Act of 1887 , any such objection had to be sponsored by both a representative and a senator . No senator would co-sponsor these objections , deferring to the Supreme Court 's ruling . Therefore , Gore , who presided in his capacity as President of the Senate , ruled each of these objections out of order . Subsequently , the joint session of Congress certified the electoral votes from all 50 states and the District of Columbia . Bush took the oath of office on January 20 , 2001 . He would serve for the next eight years . Gore has not , as of 2017 , considered another presidential run , remaining neutral in the Democratic primaries of 2004 , 2008 , and 2016 . The first independent recount of undervotes was conducted by the Miami Herald and USA Today . The commission found that under most scenarios for completion of the initiated recounts , Bush would have won the election ; however , Gore would have won using the most generous standards for undervotes . Ultimately , a media consortium -- comprising The New York Times , The Washington Post , The Wall Street Journal , Tribune Co. ( parent of the Los Angeles Times ) , Associated Press , CNN , The Palm Beach Post and the St. Petersburg Times -- hired NORC at the University of Chicago to examine 175,010 ballots that were collected from the entire state , not just the disputed counties that were recounted ; these ballots contained undervotes ( ballots with no machine - detected choice made for president ) and overvotes ( ballots with more than one choice marked ) . Their goal was to determine the reliability and accuracy of the systems used for the voting process . Based on the NORC review , the media group concluded that if the disputes over all the ballots in question had been resolved by applying statewide any of five standards that would have met Florida 's legal standard for recounts , the electoral result would have been reversed and Gore would have won by 60 to 171 votes . ( Any analysis of NORC data requires , for each punch ballot , at least two of the three ballot reviewers ' codes to agree or instead , for all three to agree . ) For all undervotes and overvotes statewide , these five standards are : Prevailing standard -- accepts at least one detached corner of a chad and all affirmative marks on optical scan ballots . County - by - county standard -- applies each county 's own standards independently . Two - corner standard -- accepts at least two detached corners of a chad and all affirmative marks on optical scan ballots . Most restrictive standard -- accepts only so - called perfect ballots that machines somehow missed and did not count , or ballots with unambiguous expressions of voter intent . Most inclusive standard -- applies uniform criteria of `` dimple or better '' on punch marks and all affirmative marks on optical scan ballots . Such a statewide review including all uncounted votes was a tangible possibility , as Leon County Circuit Court Judge Terry Lewis , whom the Florida Supreme Court had assigned to oversee the statewide recount , had scheduled a hearing for December 13 ( mooted by the U.S. Supreme Court 's final ruling on the 12th ) to consider the question of including overvotes as well as undervotes . Subsequent statements by Judge Lewis and internal court documents support the likelihood of including overvotes in the recount . Florida State University professor of public policy Lance deHaven - Smith observed that , even considering only undervotes , `` under any of the five most reasonable interpretations of the Florida Supreme Court ruling , Gore does , in fact , more than make up the deficit '' . Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting 's analysis of the NORC study and media coverage of it supports these interpretations and criticizes the coverage of the study by media outlets such as The New York Times and the other media consortium members . Further , according to sociologists Christopher Uggen and Jeff Manza , the 2000 election might have gone to Al Gore if the disenfranchised population of Florida had voted . Florida law disenfranchises convicted felons , requiring individual applications to regain suffrage . In their 2002 American Sociological Review article , Uggen and Manza found that the released felon vote could have altered the outcome of seven senatorial races between 1978 and 2000 , and the 2000 presidential election . Matt Ford noted their study concluded `` if the state 's 827,000 disenfranchised felons had voted at the same rate as other Floridians , Democratic candidate Al Gore would have won Florida -- and the presidency -- by more than 80,000 votes . '' The effect of Florida 's law is such that in 2014 `` ( m ) ore than one in ten Floridians -- and nearly one in four African - American Floridians -- are shut out of the polls because of felony convictions . '' Voting machines ( edit ) Because the 2000 presidential election was so close in Florida , the United States government and state governments pushed for election reform to be prepared by the 2004 presidential election . Many of Florida 's year 2000 election night problems stemmed from usability and ballot design factors with voting systems , including the potentially confusing `` butterfly ballot '' . Many voters had difficulties with the paper - based punch card voting machines and were either unable to understand the required process for voting or unable to perform the process . This resulted in an unusual amount of overvote ( voting for more candidates than is allowed ) and undervotes ( voting for fewer than the minimum candidates , including none at all ) . Many undervotes were caused by voter error , unmaintained punch card voting booths , or errors having to do merely with the characteristics of punch card ballots ( resulting in hanging , dimpled , or pregnant chads ) . A proposed solution to these problems was the installation of modern electronic voting machines . The United States presidential election of 2000 spurred the debate about election and voting reform , but it did not end it . In the aftermath of the election , the Help America Vote Act ( HAVA ) was passed to help states upgrade their election technology in the hopes of preventing similar problems in future elections . Unfortunately , the electronic voting systems that many states purchased to comply with HAVA actually caused problems in the presidential election of 2004 . Exit polling and declaration of vote winners ( edit ) The Voter News Service 's reputation was damaged by its treatment of Florida 's presidential vote in 2000 . Breaking its own guidelines , VNS called the state as a win for Gore 12 minutes before polls closed in the Florida panhandle . Although most of the state is in the Eastern Time Zone , counties in the Florida panhandle , located in the Central Time Zone , had not yet closed their polls . Discrepancies between the results of exit polls and the actual vote count caused the VNS to change its call twice , first from Gore to Bush and then to `` too close to call '' . Due in part to this ( and other polling inaccuracies ) the VNS was disbanded in 2003 . According to Bush adviser Karl Rove , exit polls early in the afternoon on election day showed Gore winning by three percentage points , but when the networks called the state for Gore , Bush led by about 75,000 votes in raw tallies from the Florida Secretary of State . Also , charges of media bias were leveled against the networks by Republicans . They claimed that the networks called states more quickly for Al Gore than for George W. Bush . Congress held hearings on this matter , and the networks claimed to have no intentional bias in their election night reporting . However , a study of the calls made on election night 2000 indicated that states carried by Gore were called more quickly than states won by Bush ; however , notable Bush states , like New Hampshire and Florida , were very close , and close Gore states like Iowa , Oregon , New Mexico and Wisconsin were called late as well . The early call of Florida for Gore has been alleged to have cost Bush several close states , including Iowa , New Mexico , Oregon , and Wisconsin . In each of these states , Gore won by less than 10,000 votes , and the polls closed after the networks called Florida for Gore . Because the Florida call was widely seen as an indicator that Gore had won the election , it is possible that it depressed Republican turnout in these states during the final hours of voting , giving Gore the slim margin by which he carried each of them . Had Bush carried all four of these states , he would have been able to win the electoral vote , even with a loss in Florida . Likewise , the call may have affected the outcome of the Senate election in Washington state , where incumbent Republican Slade Gorton was defeated by approximately 2,000 votes statewide . Ralph Nader spoiler effect ( edit ) Further information : Ralph Nader presidential campaign , 2000 § The `` spoiler '' controversy Many Gore supporters claimed that third - party candidate Nader acted as a spoiler in the election since Nader votes could have been cast for Gore , and for instance , Nader allegedly threw the election outcome to Bush . Nader received 2.74 percent of the popular vote nationwide , getting 97,000 votes in Florida ( by comparison , there were 111,251 overvotes ) and 22,000 votes in New Hampshire , where Bush beat Gore by 7,000 votes . Winning either state would have won the general election for Gore . Defenders of Nader , including Dan Perkins , argued that the margin in Florida was small enough that Democrats could blame any number of third - party candidates for the defeat , including Workers World Party candidate Monica Moorehead , who received 1,500 votes . But the controversy with Nader also drained energy from the Democratic party as divisive debate went on in the months leading up to the election . Nader 's reputation was hurt by this perception , which may have hindered his goals as an activist . For example , Mother Jones wrote about the so - called `` rank - and - file liberals '' who saw Nader negatively after the election and pointed that Public Citizen , the organization Nader founded in 1971 , had a new fundraising problem in its own founder , citing a drop in contributions . Mother Jones also cited a Public Citizen 's letter sent out to people interested in Nader 's relation with the organization at that time , with the disclaimer : `` Although Ralph Nader was our founder , he has not held an official position in the organization since 1980 and does not serve on the board . Public Citizen -- and the other groups that Mr. Nader founded -- act independently . '' Democratic party strategist and Democratic Leadership Council ( DLC ) chair Al From expressed a different view . In the January 24 , 2001 , issue of the DLC 's Blueprint magazine , he wrote , `` I think they 're wrong on all counts . The assertion that Nader 's marginal vote hurt Gore is not borne out by polling data . When exit pollers asked voters how they would have voted in a two - way race , Bush actually won by a point . That was better than he did with Nader in the race . '' In an online article published by Salon.com on Tuesday , November 28 , 2000 , progressive activist Jim Hightower mentioned that in Florida , a state Gore lost by only 537 votes , 24,000 Democrats voted for Nader , while another 308,000 Democrats voted for Bush . According to Hightower , 191,000 self - described Liberals in Florida voted for Bush , while fewer than 34,000 voted for Nader . Wrote Hightower : Even when Gore went skittering across the country in August on a widely ballyhooed `` Working Families Tour , '' he had the Clinton administration 's favorite Wall Streeter , Robert Rubin , by his side , sending a stage wink to the corporate powers , assuring them that all his ( Gore 's ) quasi-populist posturing was only rhetoric -- not to worry , Rubin still has a grip on policy . Press influence on race ( edit ) In their 2007 book The Nightly News Nightmare : Network Television 's Coverage of US Presidential Elections , 1988 -- 2004 , professors Stephen J. Farnsworth and S. Robert Lichter alleged most media outlets influenced the outcome of the election through the use of horse race journalism . Some liberal supporters of Al Gore argued that the media had a bias against Gore and in favor of Bush . Peter Hart and Jim Naureckas , two commentators for Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting ( FAIR ) , called the media `` serial exaggerators '' and alleged that several media outlets were constantly exaggerating criticism of Gore : they alleged that the media falsely claimed Gore lied when he claimed he spoke in an overcrowded science class in Sarasota , Florida , and also alleged the media gave Bush a pass on certain issues , such as Bush allegedly exaggerating how much money he signed into the annual Texas state budget to help the uninsured during his second debate with Gore in October 2000 . In the April 2000 issue of Washington Monthly , columnist Robert Parry also alleged that media outlets exaggerated Gore 's supposed claim that he `` discovered '' the Love Canal neighborhood in Niagara Falls , New York during a campaign speech in Concord , New Hampshire on November 30 , 1999 , when he had only claimed he `` found '' it after it was already evacuated in 1978 because of chemical contamination . Rolling Stone columnist Eric Boehlert also alleged media outlets exaggerated criticism of Gore as early as July 22 , 1999 , when Gore , known for being an environmentalist , had a friend release 500 million gallons of water into a drought stricken river to help keep his boat afloat for a photo shoot ; Boehlert claimed that media outlets exaggerated the actual number of gallons that were released , as they claimed it was 4 billion .

Following the defeat of Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans ' Union Army of the Cumberland at the Battle of Chickamauga in September , the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen. Braxton Bragg besieged Rosecrans and his men by occupying key high terrain around Chattanooga , Tennessee . Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was given command of Union forces in the West , now consolidated under the Division of the Mississippi . Significant reinforcements also began to arrive with him in Chattanooga from Mississippi and the Eastern Theater . On October 19 , Grant removed Rosecrans from command of the Army of the Cumberland and replaced him with Major General George Henry Thomas . After opening a supply line ( the `` Cracker Line '' ) to feed his starving men and animals , Grant 's army fought off a Confederate counterattack at the Battle of Wauhatchie on October 28 -- 29 , 1863 . On November 23 , the Army of the Cumberland advanced from the fortifications around Chattanooga to seize the minor high ground at Orchard Knob while elements of the Union Army of the Tennessee under Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman maneuvered to launch a surprise attack against Bragg 's right flank on Missionary Ridge . On November 24 , Sherman 's men crossed the Tennessee River in the morning and then advanced to occupy high ground at the northern end of Missionary Ridge in the afternoon . The same day , Eastern Theater troops under Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker defeated the Confederates in the Battle of Lookout Mountain . The next day they began a movement toward Bragg 's left flank at Rossville . On November 25 , Sherman 's attack on Bragg 's right flank made little progress . Hoping to distract Bragg 's attention , Grant ordered Thomas 's army to advance in the center of his line to the base of Missionary Ridge . A combination of misunderstood orders and the pressure of the tactical situation caused Thomas 's men to surge to the top of Missionary Ridge , routing the Army of Tennessee , which retreated to Dalton , Georgia , fighting off the Union pursuit successfully at the Battle of Ringgold Gap . Bragg 's defeat eliminated the last significant Confederate control of Tennessee and opened the door to an invasion of the Deep South , leading to Sherman 's Atlanta Campaign of 1864 .

The Union Army pontoon bridge is shown on the left , Lookout Mountain at the right rear . The small hill in front of Lookout Mountain is Cameron Hill , which was significantly flattened during 20th century development of the city . Federal supply lines and Wheeler 's October 1863 raid Confederate Union Chattanooga was a vital rail hub ( with lines going north toward Nashville and Knoxville and south toward Atlanta ) , and an important manufacturing center for the production of iron and coal , located on the navigable Tennessee River . In September 1863 , the Union Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans executed a series of maneuvers that forced Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg and his Army of Tennessee to abandon Chattanooga and withdraw into northern Georgia . Rosecrans pursued Bragg and the two armies collided at the Battle of Chickamauga on September 19 -- 20 . Bragg achieved a major victory when a gap was opened mistakenly in the Union line and a strong assaulting force commanded by Lt. Gen. James Longstreet drove through it and routed a good portion of the Union army . A determined defensive stand by Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas on Snodgrass Hill saved the army from total destruction , earning him the nickname `` Rock of Chickamauga '' and allowing time for most of Rosecrans 's army to retreat to Chattanooga . Bragg did not cut off the escape routes to Chattanooga and did not organize a pursuit that might have seriously damaged the Union army before it could regroup and prepare its defenses in the city . The Union forces took advantage of previous Confederate works to erect strong defensive positions in a tight , 3 - mile - long semicircle around the city . Bragg had three courses of action . He could outflank Rosecrans by crossing the Tennessee either below or above the city , assault the Union force directly in their fortifications , or starve the Federals by establishing a siege line . The flanking option was deemed to be impracticable because Bragg 's army was short on ammunition , they had no pontoons for river crossing , and Longstreet 's corps from Virginia had arrived at Chickamauga without wagons . A direct assault was too costly against a well - fortified enemy . Receiving intelligence that Rosecrans 's men had only six days of rations , Bragg chose the siege option , while attempting to accumulate sufficient logistical capability to cross the Tennessee . Bragg 's army besieged the city , threatening to starve the Union forces into surrender . The Confederates established themselves on Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain , both of which had excellent views of the city , the Tennessee River flowing north of the city , and the Union 's supply lines . Bragg also had little inclination to take offensive action against the Federal army because he was occupied in leadership quarrels within his army . On September 29 , Bragg relieved from command two of his subordinates who had disappointed him in the Chickamauga Campaign : Maj. Gen. Thomas C. Hindman ( who had failed to destroy part of the Union army at McLemore 's Cove ) and Lt. Gen. Leonidas Polk ( who had delayed attacking on September 20 of Chickamauga ) . On October 4 , twelve of his most senior generals sent a petition to Confederate President Jefferson Davis , demanding that Bragg be relieved of command . Davis personally visited Chattanooga to hear the complaints . After he decided to retain Bragg in command , Bragg retaliated against some of those generals by relieving Lt. Gen. D.H. Hill and Maj. Gen. Simon B. Buckner . Never in the history of the Army of the Cumberland had the spirit of its officers and men been more depressed . The battle of Chickamauga had not only been fought and lost , but we also lost what was more than losing the battle . We had lost confidence in our commander . Capt . George Lewis , 124th Ohio In Chattanooga , Rosecrans was stunned by the defeat of his army and became psychologically unable to take decisive action to lift the siege . President Abraham Lincoln remarked that Rosecrans seemed `` confused and stunned like a duck hit on the head . '' Union soldiers began to feel the effect of extremely short rations and many of their horses and mules died . The only supply line that was not controlled by the Confederates was a roundabout , tortuous course nearly 60 miles long over Walden 's Ridge from Bridgeport , Alabama . Heavy rains began to fall in late September , washing away long stretches of the mountain roads . On October 1 , Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler 's Confederate cavalry intercepted and severely damaged a train of 800 wagons -- burning hundreds of the wagons , and shooting or sabering hundreds of mules -- at the start of his October 1863 Raid through Tennessee to sever Rosecrans 's supply line . Toward the end of October , typical Federal soldiers ' rations were `` four cakes of hard bread and a quarter pound of pork '' every three days . The Union high command began immediate preparations to relieve the city . Only hours after the defeat at Chickamauga , Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton ordered Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker to Chattanooga with 15,000 men in two small corps from the Army of the Potomac in Virginia . Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was ordered to send 20,000 men under his chief subordinate Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman , from Vicksburg , Mississippi . On September 29 , Stanton ordered Grant to go to Chattanooga himself , as commander of the newly created Military Division of the Mississippi , bringing all of the territory from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River ( and much of the state of Arkansas ) under a single commander for the first time . Grant was given the option of replacing the demoralized Rosecrans with Thomas . Although Grant did not have good personal relations with Thomas , he heartily disliked Rosecrans . He selected Thomas to command the Army of the Cumberland . Hearing an inaccurate report that Rosecrans was preparing to abandon Chattanooga , Grant telegraphed to Thomas , `` Hold Chattanooga at all hazards . I will be there as soon as possible . '' The Rock of Chickamauga replied immediately , `` We will hold the town till we starve . '' Grant traveled over the treacherous mountain supply line roads and arrived in Chattanooga on October 23 . Reopening the Tennessee River ( edit ) Opening the Cracker line ( edit ) Engraving of the view north from Point Lookout on Lookout Mountain over the Chattanooga region , from Battles and Leaders , 1885 The chief engineer of the Army of the Cumberland , Brig. Gen. William F. `` Baldy '' Smith , had devised a plan with Rosecrans to open a more reliable supply line to the troops in Chattanooga . General Thomas put the plan afoot immediately upon taking command. Smith briefed Grant immediately after the new commander 's arrival and Grant enthusiastically concurred with the plan . Brown 's Ferry crossed the Tennessee River from Moccasin Point where the road followed a gap through the foothills , turned south through Lookout Valley to Wauhatchie Station , and then west to Kelley 's Ferry , a navigable point on the Tennessee that could be reached by Union supply boats . If the Army of the Cumberland could seize Brown 's Ferry and link up with Hooker 's force arriving from Bridgeport , Alabama , through the Lookout Valley , a reliable , efficient supply line -- soon to become known as the `` Cracker Line '' -- would be open . And a force at Brown 's Ferry would threaten the right flank of any Confederate movement into the valley . Hazen 's men land at Brown 's Ferry Hooker left Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum with one of his divisions of the XII Corps to guard the railroad line from Murfreesboro , to Bridgeport . Slocum 's remaining division , under Brig. Gen. John W. Geary , and the two divisions of Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard 's XI Corps were ordered to move quickly to Lookout Valley . However , weather conditions delayed the movement , so Grant decided to move ahead with the Brown 's Ferry operation even before Hooker could arrive . Smith 's plan for the assault on Brown 's Ferry was to send most of one brigade ( Brig. Gen. William B. Hazen 's ) traveling stealthily downriver on pontoons and a raft at night to capture the gap and hills on the west bank of the Tennessee while a second brigade ( Brig. Gen. John B. Turchin 's ) marched across Moccasin Point in support . Braxton Bragg had no idea that this operation was being planned , but he was aware of Hooker 's pending river crossing at Bridgeport , so was concerned about his left flank . He ordered Longstreet to move additional units into Lookout Valley , but , unknown to Bragg , the order was ignored . Furthermore , Longstreet 's lack of diligence allowed command mixups to leave only two regiments near Brown 's Ferry . Early on the morning of October 27 , Hazen 's men floated unnoticed past the Confederate position on Lookout Mountain , aided by low fog and no moonlight . They were able to seize the ground above Brown 's Ferry by 4 : 40 a.m. A counterattack by the 15th Alabama Infantry , commanded by Col. William C. Oates ( of Little Round Top fame ) was repulsed and Oates was wounded . Oates 's brigade commander , Brig. Gen. Evander M. Law , placed his brigade blocking the road over Lookout Mountain and reported the Union success to Longstreet . Longstreet dismissed the importance of the report , considering the Union move to be only a feint , and did not bother passing the information on to Bragg . When Bragg learned of it , he ordered Longstreet to retake the ground immediately , but Longstreet once again did nothing and Smith 's men spent the day consolidating their bridgehead without interference . Hooker 's column marched through Lookout Valley and linked up with Hazen and Turchin at Brown 's Ferry at 3 : 45 p.m. , October 28 . Thomas 's staff began the preparations to bring supplies over the Cracker Line and he telegraphed General in Chief Henry W. Halleck that he expected `` in a few days to be pretty well supplied . '' Wauhatchie ( edit ) Further information : Battle of Wauhatchie Battle of Wauhatchie Having ignored several direct orders from Bragg to attack Brown 's Ferry , Longstreet was ordered by Bragg to attack Hooker 's concentration at Wauhatchie instead . There , Hooker had neglected to arrange his force into effective defensive positions , instructing them merely to find good cover for the troops and bivouac . He detached Brig. Gen. John W. Geary 's division at Wauhatchie Station , a stop on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad , to protect the line of communications to the south as well as the road west to Kelley 's Ferry . Longstreet was amazed to see Geary 's bivouacking soldiers with their large wagon train parked directly in front of him . Longstreet ordered a night attack , a relatively rare occurrence in the Civil War , using only the brigade of Brig. Gen. Evander M. Law and Brig. Gen. Micah Jenkins 's division from Lookout Mountain , far fewer troops than Bragg had authorized . The attack was scheduled for 10 : 00 p.m. on October 28 , but confusion delayed it until midnight . Although Geary and his officers expected an attack and had thrown out pickets , its suddenness took them by surprise . Enveloped from the north by Col. John Bratton 's brigade , the Union defenders formed into a V - shaped battle line , facing north and east . Geary 's son Edward , an artillery lieutenant , was killed in the battle , dying in his father 's arms . Hearing the sounds of battle , Hooker , at Brown 's Ferry , sent Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard with two XI Corps divisions as reinforcements . Orders of march were confused and delayed the movement . Hooker mistakenly deployed units from both XI Corps divisions against Law 's and Brig. Gen. Henry L. Benning 's brigades , leaving no one to go to Geary 's aid . Law 's 2,000 men were greatly outnumbered by Hooker 's men , but the hilltop position was naturally strong and several vigorous Union assaults were repulsed . Receiving an erroneous report that Bratton was retreating , Law decided to pull back . Just as his men left their entrenchments , Col. Orland Smith 's brigade ( Brig. Gen. Adolph von Steinwehr 's division ) spilled over them , capturing some stragglers and scattering a regiment that failed to get the order to retreat . Meanwhile , Hooker agreed to let Howard proceed to Wauhatchie with some cavalry . Geary 's men continued to hold fast , although they began to run low on ammunition . Just as Bratton began to sense victory , he received a note from Jenkins to retreat because Union reinforcements were arriving at his rear . He withdrew to Lookout Mountain , successfully covered by Benning 's brigade . Both sides had planned poorly for the battle . Hooker 's carelessness in placing his men had left them at risk . Grant was disgusted at Hooker 's performance and considered relieving him . Longstreet committed too few men for an assault of this importance and Bragg was also disgusted with his subordinate . Bragg 's biographer , Judith L. Hallock , wrote that Wauhatchie was , for Longstreet , an `` ill - conceived , ill - planned , and poorly coordinated attack '' that `` resulted in a shambles . '' Longstreet departs ( edit ) Bragg had committed the most egregious error of his checkered career . In all too typical fashion , he had allowed rancor to crowd out rational thought . Without a coherent plan or even the desire for close coordination between the two segments , he had divided his army in the face of a now numerically superior foe who was about to receive even more reinforcements . The view of Peter Cozzens , The Shipwreck of Their Hopes The opening of the cracker line changed the strategic situation completely . Bragg knew the siege was effectively broken . Considering his options -- retreating from the area ; assaulting the Union fortifications at Chattanooga ; waiting for Grant to attack ; attempting to move around Grant 's right flank ; attempting to move around Grant 's left flank -- Bragg realized that movement around Grant 's left flank was the only promising option . It would potentially allow him to re-establish an additional badly needed rail supply line ( to Virginia via Knoxville ) and join forces with about 10,000 men operating in southwestern Virginia under the command of Maj. Gen. Samuel Jones . An impediment to this plan was the operation of Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside 's Union Army of the Ohio , currently occupying Knoxville and blocking the railroad . On October 17 , Bragg had ordered the division of Maj. Gen. Carter L. Stevenson and two cavalry brigades to extend his right flank toward Knoxville . On October 22 , Bragg added the division of Brig. Gen. John K. Jackson to the expedition , bringing the total to about 11,000 men , and considered sending Stevenson 's corps commander , John C. Breckinridge , as well . In early November , Bragg ordered additional reinforcements and changed the orders from simply extending the right flank to actually pushing Burnside away from Knoxville and reestablish communications with Virginia . But events in Virginia caused Bragg to change his plan . Responding to a suggestion from President Davis , Bragg announced in a council of war on November 3 that he was sending Longstreet and his two divisions into East Tennessee to deal with Burnside , replacing the Stevenson / Jackson force . Davis had suggested Longstreet for this assignment because he intended Longstreet 's divisions to return to the Army of Northern Virginia at the end of the campaign and Knoxville was on the route back to Virginia . In the face of a rapidly expanding enemy force , Bragg chose to divide his army and decrease his net defensive force by about 4,000 men ( less than 10 % ) in order to facilitate the move on Knoxville . Campaign historian Steven E. Woodworth judged , however , that `` even the flat loss of the number of good soldiers in Longstreet 's divisions would have been a gain to the army in ridding it of their general 's feuding and blundering . '' Preparations for Battle ( edit ) Grant had two weeks following Wauhatchie before Sherman was to arrive , and he charged Thomas and Smith with the responsibility for planning an assault against Bragg , starting with an attack by Sherman on the Confederate right flank , emphasizing that he would not approve the plan until Sherman had an opportunity to review it . After considerable reconnaissance the two generals presented their plan on November 14 . Sherman 's arriving troops would use newly improved roads to pass through the hills north of Chattanooga , taking a route that was not visible from Lookout Mountain , hoping that Bragg would not know for certain whether Sherman was targeting Chattanooga or Knoxville. Smith would assemble every available boat and pontoon to allow Sherman 's corps to cross the Tennessee River near the mouth of the South Chickamauga Creek and attack Bragg 's right flank on Missionary Ridge . If the attack were successful , the Union would control the two key railroad lines that supplied Bragg 's army , forcing him to withdraw . Thomas 's army would simultaneously pin down the Confederate center on Missionary Ridge . The plan also called for Hooker to assault and seize Lookout Mountain , Bragg 's left flank , and continue on to Rossville , where he would be positioned to cut off a potential Confederate retreat to the south . Sherman arrived ahead of his troops on the evening of November 14 . He observed the end of Missionary Ridge that he was designated to attack and remarked that he could seize it successfully by 9 a.m. on the assigned day . Grant approved Thomas 's and Smith 's plan , although he withdrew support for the attack by Hooker on Lookout Mountain , intending the mass of his attack to be by Sherman . Sherman 's men were still a considerable distance from Chattanooga because they had been under orders from Halleck to repair the railroad as they marched the 330 miles from Vicksburg ( an order countermanded by Grant on October 27 ) and their commander had ignored advice from Thomas that he march rapidly without the impediment of his trains , as Hooker had done . Although Grant had hoped to begin offensive operations on November 21 , by November 20 only one of Sherman 's brigades had crossed over Brown 's Ferry and the attack had to be postponed . Grant was coming under pressure from Washington to react to Longstreet 's advance against Burnside at Knoxville . Bragg , having dispatched most of his cavalry , had little means of gathering intelligence . He assumed that Sherman 's corps would be heading toward his department 's extreme right flank at Knoxville , not Chattanooga . Therefore , he believed that the main Union assault would occur on his left flank , Lookout Mountain . On November 12 , Bragg placed Carter Stevenson in overall command for the defense of the mountain , with Stevenson 's division placed on the summit . The brigades of Brig . Gens . John K. Jackson , Edward C. Walthall , and John C. Moore were placed on the `` bench '' of the mountain ( a narrow and relatively flat shelf that wrapped around the northern end of the mountain approximately halfway to the summit ) . Jackson later wrote about the dissatisfaction of the commanders assigned to this area , `` Indeed , it was agreed on all hands that the position was one extremely difficult to defense against a strong force of the enemy advancing under cover of a heavy fire . '' Thomas L. Connelly , historian of the Army of Tennessee , wrote that despite the imposing appearance of Lookout Mountain , `` the mountain 's strength was a myth ... It was impossible to hold ( the bench , which ) was commanded by Federal artillery at Moccasin Bend . '' Although Stevenson placed an artillery battery on the crest of the mountain , the guns could not be depressed enough to reach the bench , which was accessible from numerous trails on the west side of the mountain . Dissatisfaction also prevailed in the Chattanooga Valley and on Missionary Ridge , where Breckinridge , commanding Bragg 's center and right , had only 16,000 men to defend a line 5 miles long . Brig. Gen. Patton Anderson , whose division was assigned to the Confederate works along the western base of the ridge , wrote `` This line of defense , following its sinuosities , was over two miles in length -- nearly twice as long as a number of bayonets in the division could adequately defend . '' Bragg exacerbated the situation on November 22 by ordering Maj. Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne to withdraw his and Simon B. Buckner 's divisions from the line and march to Chickamauga Station , for railroad transport to Knoxville , removing 11,000 more men from the defense of Chattanooga . This move was apparently made because , as Grant had hoped , Bragg concluded that Sherman 's troops were moving on to Knoxville , in which case Longstreet would need the reinforcements , for which he had been constantly clamoring since he was first given the assignment . Opposing forces ( edit ) Union ( edit ) Union subordinate commanders Maj. Gen . William T. Sherman Maj. Gen . George H. Thomas Maj. Gen . Joseph Hooker Further information : Union order of battle Grant 's Military Division of the Mississippi assembled the following forces at Chattanooga : The Army of the Tennessee , commanded by Maj.

Breckinridge Further information : Confederate order of battle Bragg 's Army of Tennessee had the following forces available in Chattanooga : Longstreet 's Corps , under Lt. Gen. James Longstreet , consisting of the divisions under Maj. Gen. Lafayette McLaws and Brig. Gen. Micah Jenkins ( replacing John Bell Hood , wounded at Chickamauga ) . Longstreet 's Corps was dispatched to Knoxville on November 5 . Hardee 's Corps , under Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee , consisting of the divisions under Brig. Gen. John K. Jackson ( Cheatham 's Division ) , Brig. Gen. J. Patton Anderson ( Hindman 's Division ) , Brig. Gen. States Rights Gist ( Walker 's Division ) , and Maj. Gen. Simon B. Buckner ( detached November 22 to Knoxville ) . Breckinridge 's Corps , commanded by Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge , consisting of the divisions of Maj . Gens . Patrick R. Cleburne , Alexander P. Stewart , Carter L. Stevenson , and Brig. Gen. William B. Bate ( Breckinridge 's Division ) . On November 5 , Bragg seriously weakened his forces by sending Longstreet 's Corps against Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside near Knoxville . On November 22 , Bragg further weakened his forces by ordering the division of Maj. Gen. Simon B. Buckner to reinforce Longstreet at Knoxville . The battles for Chattanooga ( edit ) Orchard Knob ( edit ) Orchard Knob in 1864 Battle monuments on Orchard Knob Orchard Knob , c1900 - 1915 On November 23 , the Union army observed columns of Cleburne 's and Buckner 's men marching away from Missionary Ridge and also heard claims from Confederate deserters that the entire army was falling back . Grant became concerned that Bragg was massively reinforcing Longstreet and sought to disrupt the movement . Thomas ordered his division under Brig. Gen. Thomas J. Wood to advance in a reconnaissance in force , instructing him to avoid an engagement with the enemy and return to his fortifications when the strength of the Confederate line was revealed . Wood 's men assembled outside of their entrenchments and observed their objective approximately 2,000 yards to the east , a small knoll 100 feet high known as Orchard Knob ( also known as Indian Hill ) . Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan 's division lined up similarly to protect Wood 's right flank , and Howard 's XI Corps extended the line to the left , presenting over 20,000 soldiers arrayed in almost parade - ground alignment . I never saw troops move into action in finer style than Thomas 's did today . They are entitled to the highest praise for their soldierly bearing and splendid bravery . Grant 's chief of staff , John Rawlins At 1 : 30 p.m. , 14,000 Union soldiers moved forward at the double quick , sweeping across the plain , stunning the 600 Confederate defenders , who were able to fire only a single volley before they were overrun . Casualties were relatively small on both sides . Grant and Thomas decided to order the men to hold their position and entrench , rather than following the original orders to withdraw . Orchard Knob became Grant 's and Thomas 's headquarters for the remainder of the battles . Bragg quickly readjusted his strategy , recalling all units that were within a day 's march . Cleburne 's division returned after dark from Chickamauga Station , interrupting the process of boarding the trains to Knoxville . Bragg began to reduce the strength on his left by withdrawing Maj. Gen. William H.T. Walker 's division from the base of Lookout Mountain and placing them on the far right of Missionary Ridge , just south of Tunnel Hill . He assigned Hardee to command his now critical right flank , turning over the left flank to Carter Stevenson . In the center , Breckinridge ordered his men to begin fortifying the crest of Missionary Ridge , a task that Bragg had somehow neglected for weeks . Unable to decide whether to defend the base or the crest of the Ridge , the divisions of Brig . Gens . William B. Bate and Patton Anderson were ordered to move half of their divisions to the crest , leaving the remainder in the rifle pits along the base . James L. McDonough wrote of the upper entrenchments , `` Placed along the physical crest rather than what is termed the military crest ... these works severely handicapped the defenders . '' The Union side also changed plans . Sherman had three divisions ready to cross the Tennessee , but the pontoon bridge at Brown 's Ferry had torn apart and Brig. Gen. Peter J. Osterhaus 's division was stranded in Lookout Valley . After receiving assurances from Sherman that he could proceed with three divisions , Grant decided to revive the previously rejected plan for an attack on Lookout Mountain and reassigned Osterhaus to Hooker 's command . Lookout Mountain ( edit ) Further information : Battle of Lookout Mountain Cravens house on Lookout Mountain Battles of Chattanooga , November 24 -- 25 , 1863 On November 24 , Hooker had about 10,000 men in three divisions to operate against Lookout Mountain : Brig. Gen. John W. Geary 's ( XII Corps ) , Brig. Gen. Charles Cruft 's ( XIV Corps ) , and Brig. Gen. Peter J. Osterhaus 's ( XV Corps ) . Acknowledging that this was too large a force for a simple diversion , Grant authorized a more serious effort against the mountain , but did not agree to a full - scale assault . Hooker was ordered to `` take the point only if his demonstration should develop its practicability . '' Fighting Joe ignored this subtlety and ordered Geary `` to cross Lookout Creek and to assault Lookout Mountain , marching down the valley and sweeping every rebel from it . '' The advance of Cruft and Osterhaus stalled at Lookout Creek , but Geary crossed the stream unopposed further south and found that the defile between the mountain and the river had not been secured . The Union troops were opposed by Brig. Gen. Edward C. Walthall 's brigade of Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Cheatham 's division ( temporarily under the command of Brig. Gen. John K. Jackson ) . Geary swept northeast along the base of Lookout Mountain and pushed Walthall 's badly outnumbered men back to the Cravens House , just below the northern end of the mountain . The men of Brig. Gen. John C. Brown 's Confederate brigade on the mountain top found themselves powerless to intervene in the battle raging below the cliffs . Geary 's success allowed the other two divisions to cross the creek and push aside the Confederate skirmishers in front of them . Brig. Gen. John C. Moore brought his brigade up around 1 : 00 p.m. to become embroiled in a fight with Geary and Brig. Gen. Walter C. Whitaker 's brigade of Cruft 's division . Moore was pushed back and soon joined by Brig. Gen. Edmund Pettus 's brigade . By about 3 : 00 p.m. , thick fog enveloped the mountain . Brig. Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs , quartermaster general of the Union Army , observing from Orchard Knob , was the first writer to name the action on Lookout Mountain the `` Battle Above the Clouds '' . The two sides blazed away blindly in the fog the rest of the afternoon but few men were hit . During the fight , Hooker sent a stream of `` alternate whimpering and blustering '' messages to Grant , but got it exactly right when he predicted , `` In all probability the enemy will evacuate tonight . '' Realizing the battle was lost , Bragg ordered the position abandoned . At midnight the fog cleared and , under a lunar eclipse , the divisions of Stevenson and Cheatham retreated behind Chattanooga Creek , burning the bridges behind them . That night Bragg asked his two corps commanders whether to retreat or to stand and fight . Hardee counseled retreat , but Breckinridge convinced Bragg to fight it out on the strong position of Missionary Ridge . Accordingly , the troops withdrawn from Lookout Mountain were ordered to the right flank . Missionary Ridge ( edit ) Further information : Battle of Missionary Ridge Battle of Chattanooga by Thure de Thulstrup . Ulysses S. Grant uses a field glass to follow the Union assault on Missionary Ridge . Grant is joined by Generals Gordon Granger ( left ) and George H. Thomas . Battle of Missionary Ridge , November 25 , 1863 Confederate Union Sherman 's remaining three divisions crossed the Tennessee River successfully on the morning of November 24 , then took what the general thought -- due to faulty intelligence -- was the north end of Missionary Ridge but was actually a completely separate rise known as Billy Goat Hill . Sherman was dismayed to see that , across a deep ravine , the Confederates had fortified Tunnel Hill , the northernmost portion of the ridge . Taking no further offensive action for the day , Sherman ordered his men to dig in on Billy Goat Hill . On November 25 , Grant changed his plan and called for a double envelopment by Sherman and Hooker . Thomas was to advance after Sherman reached Missionary Ridge from the north and Hooker from the south . He gave a supporting role to Thomas : I have instructed Sherman to advance as soon as it is light in the morning , and your attack , which will be simultaneous , will be in cooperation . Your command will either carry the rifle pits and ridge directly in front of them or move to the left , as the presence of the enemy may require . Grant had no particular expectation for Hooker other than to divert Bragg 's attention by continued demonstrations on Lookout Mountain . However , Thomas wanted support on his flank and called Hooker to cross the valley and demonstrate against Bragg 's left flank directly at the Rossville Gap . As the morning progressed , Sherman launched multiple direct assaults against Cleburne 's line on Tunnel Hill , but despite his significantly larger force , committed only three brigades to the attacks and made no headway . At the southern end of the battlefield , Hooker 's advance was slowed for hours by the burned bridges on Chattanooga Creek . Seeing the lack of progress on the flanks , around 3 : 30 p.m. Grant ordered Thomas to move forward in the center in accordance with his earlier instructions . The men of the Army of the Cumberland advanced and quickly pushed the Confederates from their rifle pits but were then subjected to a punishing fire from the Confederate positions up the ridge . Most of Thomas 's troops had been at the disastrous loss at Chickamauga and had suffered taunts by Sherman 's and Hooker 's newly arrived forces . Now they were under fire from above with no apparent plan to advance or move back . At this point , the Union soldiers continued the attack against the remaining lines . This second advance was taken up by the commanders on the spot , but also by some of the soldiers who , on their own , sought shelter from the fire further up the slope . Bragg had placed his artillery and trenches of the infantry along the actual crest of the ridge , rather than the military crest , and they were unable to provide effective fire . The Union advance was disorganized but effective ; finally overwhelming and scattering what ought to have been an impregnable Confederate line . As such , the Army of the Cumberland 's ascent of Missionary Ridge was one of the war 's most dramatic events . Military historians Herman Hattaway and Archer Jones contend that the Battle of Missionary Ridge was `` the war 's most notable example of a frontal assault succeeding against intrenched defenders holding high ground . '' A Union officer remembered that Little regard to formation was observed . Each battalion assumed a triangular shape , the colors at the apex ... ( a ) color - bearer dashes ahead of the line and falls . A comrade grasps the flag ... He , too , falls . Then another picks it up ... waves it defiantly , and as if bearing a charmed life , he advances steadily towards the top ... Grant was initially furious that his orders to advance only as far as the rifle pits had not been followed exactly . Thomas was taken by surprise as well , knowing that he would be blamed if the assault failed . But it succeeded . By 4 : 30 p.m. the center of Bragg 's line had broken completely and fled in panic , requiring the abandonment of Missionary Ridge and a headlong retreat eastward to South Chickamauga Creek . The sole exception to the panicked flight was Cleburne 's command , his division augmented by two brigades from another division , which formed the rearguard of Bragg 's army as it retreated eastward . Rossville Gap ( edit ) After Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker 's command left Lookout Mountain at about 10 a.m. and moved east , they encountered a significant obstacle . The bridge across Chattanooga Creek , about a mile from Rossville Gap , had been burned by the Confederates as they withdrew the night before and the creek was running high . Brig. Gen. Peter J. Osterhaus assigned a 70 - man pioneer unit to start rebuilding the bridge while men of the 27th Missouri created a rickety footbridge and began crossing one by one . Hooker decided to leave his guns and wagons behind so that all of his infantry could cross first , but his advance was delayed about three hours and he did not reach Rossville Gap until 3 : 30 p.m. Breckinridge was absent while the Union attack wrecked his corps . Worried about his left flank , he rode to the end of his line in the early afternoon . At 3 : 30 p.m. , about the time Thomas launched his four - division attack on Missionary Ridge , Breckinridge visited Stewart 's left flank brigade of Col. James T. Holtzclaw , whose commander pointed to the southwest where Hooker 's men were busily bridging Chattanooga Creek . Concerned about Rossville Gap , which lay undefended beyond his left flank , Breckinridge ordered Holtzclaw to send a couple of regiments to hold the position . It was too late ; by the time the Southerners reached the gap , Osterhaus 's division had already marched through . Lt. J. Cabell Breckinridge , the general 's son and aide - de-camp , rode into a group from the 9th Iowa and was captured . Hooker quickly faced his troops to the north and organized a three - pronged attack . He sent Osterhaus along a trail east of Missionary Ridge , Cruft onto the ridge itself , and Geary along the western face of the ridge . Holtzclaw faced his men south and put up a fight , but Cruft and Osterhaus soon began herding the outnumbered Confederates north along Missionary Ridge . Hearing a tremendous racket to the north , Breckinridge finally rode off to find out what was wrong . As Holtzclaw retreated before Hooker 's command , he eventually bumped into Col. Anson G. McCook 's 2nd Ohio of Carlin 's brigade , now astride the ridge . Surrounded by superior forces on four sides , approximately 700 of Holtzclaw 's men surrendered . Retreat and pursuit ( edit ) During the night , Bragg ordered his army to withdraw toward Chickamauga Station on the Western and Atlantic Railroad ( currently the site of Lovell Air Field ) and on November 26 began retreating toward Dalton , Georgia , in two columns taking two routes . Only Sheridan tried to pursue beyond Missionary Ridge , but he finally gave up late that night when it was clear that he was not being supported by either Granger or Thomas . Ringgold Gap ( edit ) The pursuit ordered by Grant was effectively thwarted at the Battle of Ringgold Gap . At 3 a.m. on November 27 , Cleburne readied his men and waited until the Union force was almost upon them before opening fire with artillery and rifles . Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker 's force was taken utterly by surprise , but he tried to use his numbers to regain the initiative . He attempted to outflank the Confederates both on the right and on the left , but the Confederates held their positions . For five hours the slaughter continued , Cleburne 's 4,100 soldiers against Hooker 's 12,000 , with Hooker gaining little ground . Cleburne 's men stayed to about noon , then retreated , successfully allowing the wagons and artillery to pass through the gap unharmed . Grant called off the remaining pursuit because his army was low on rations and he decided he needed to stay close to his supply line . Furthermore , Washington was still clamoring for the rescue of Burnside in Knoxville and Grant was told that the Union troops there had rations that would last only until December 3 . President Lincoln 's message of congratulations to Grant after Missionary Ridge had said `` Well done . Many thanks to all . Remember Burnside . '' Aftermath ( edit ) Captured artillery , c. 1865 Casualties for the Union Army amounted to 5,824 ( 753 killed , 4,722 wounded , and 349 missing ) of about 56,000 engaged ; Bragg reported Confederate casualties of 6,667 ( 361 killed , 2,160 wounded , and 4,146 missing , mostly prisoners ) of about 44,000 . Southern losses may have been higher ; Grant claimed 6,142 prisoners . When a chaplain asked General Thomas whether the dead should be sorted and buried by state , Thomas replied `` Mix ' em up . I 'm tired of States ' rights . '' One of the Confederacy 's two major armies was routed . Bragg relieved Breckinridge from command , accusing him of drunkenness during the period November 23 -- 27 . Bragg chose to blame Breckinridge and the cowardice of his army for the defeat . He resigned from command of the Army of Tennessee on December 1 and was replaced temporarily by Hardee . ( Gen. Joseph E. Johnston assumed command of the army on December 27 . ) In East Tennessee , Longstreet 's offensive against Burnside ( the Knoxville Campaign ) fell apart at the Battle of Fort Sanders on November 29 . Although he was ordered to rejoin Bragg , Longstreet considered the order impracticable and informed Bragg that he would return with his command to Virginia but would maintain the siege on Knoxville as long as possible in the hopes that Burnside and Grant could be prevented from joining forces and annihilating the Army of Tennessee . This plan turned out to be effective because Grant sent Sherman with 25,000 men to relieve the siege at Knoxville . Longstreet abandoned his siege on December 4 , went into winter quarters , and returned to Virginia in the spring of 1864 . The Confederate enthusiasm that had risen so high after Chickamauga had been dashed at Chattanooga . The Union now held undisputed control of the state of Tennessee , including Chattanooga , the `` Gateway to the Lower South . '' The city became the supply and logistics base for Sherman 's 1864 Atlanta Campaign , as well as for the Army of the Cumberland , and Grant had won his final battle in the West prior to receiving command of all Union armies in March 1864 .

"The Chattanooga Campaign[7] was a series of maneuvers and battles in October and November 1863, during the American Civil War. Following the defeat of Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans' Union Army of the Cumberland at the Battle of Chickamauga in September, the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen. Braxton Bragg besieged Rosecrans and his men by occupying key high terrain around Chattanooga, Tennessee. Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant was given command of Union forces in the West, now consolidated under the Division of the Mississippi. Significant reinforcements also began to arrive with him in Chattanooga from Mississippi and the Eastern Theater. On October 19, Grant removed Rosecrans from command of the Army of the Cumberland and replaced him with Major General George Henry Thomas."

( Discuss ) Proposed since December 2016 . A Greek cross A Latin cross Latin cross from the 6th - century mosaic in the Basilica of Sant ' Apollinare in Classe , Ravenna The Christian cross , seen as a representation of the instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus , is the best - known symbol of Christianity . It is related to the crucifix ( a cross that includes a usually three - dimensional representation of Jesus ' body ) and to the more general family of cross symbols . The basic forms of the cross are the Latin cross ( ✝ ) and the Greek cross ( ✚ ) , with numerous variants used in text , visual art , heraldry , and in various confessional contexts . Contents ( hide ) 1 History of use 1.1 Pre-Christian 1.2 Instrument of torture 1.3 Early Christian 2 In contemporary Christianity 3 Exclusion 4 Notable individual crosses 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History of use ( edit ) Pre-Christian ( edit ) Main article : Cross This section may stray from the topic of the article . Please help improve this section or discuss this issue on the talk page . ( July 2016 ) The cross-shaped sign , represented in its simplest form by a crossing of two lines at right angles , greatly predates the introduction of Christianity , in both East and West . It goes back to a very remote period of human civilization . It is supposed to have been used not just for its ornamental value , but also with religious significance . It may have represented the apparatus used in kindling fire , and thus as the symbol of sacred fire or as a symbol of the sun , denoting its daily rotation . It has also been interpreted as the mystic representation of lightning or of the god of the tempest , or the emblem of the Aryan pantheon and the primitive Aryan civilization . Ankh Another associated symbol is the ansated cross ( ankh or crux ansata ) used in ancient Egypt . It was often depicted in the hands of the goddess Sekhmet , and as a hieroglyphic sign of life or of the living . Egyptian Christians ( Copts ) adopted it as the emblem of the cross . In his book , The Worship of the Dead , Colonel J. Garnier wrote : `` The cross in the form of the ' Crux Ansata ' ... was carried in the hands of the Egyptian priests and Pontiff kings as the symbol of their authority as priests of the Sun god and was called ' the Sign of Life ' . '' Ndj & nfr Another Egyptian symbol is the Ndj ( Cross-ndj ( hieroglyph ) ) - Uses for the hieroglyph : 1 -- `` to protect , guard , avenge '' , and `` protector , advocate , avenger '' 2 -- `` homage to thee '' , ( a form of salutation to gods ) 3 -- `` discuss a matter with someone '' , `` to converse '' , `` to take counsel '' . Yet another Egyptian symbol is the nfr - meaning : beauty or perfect . In the Bronze Age a representation of the cross as conceived in Christian art appeared , and the form was popularised . The more precise characterization coincided with a corresponding general change in customs and beliefs . The cross then came into use in various forms on many objects : fibulas , cinctures , earthenware fragments , and on the bottom of drinking vessels . De Mortillet believed that such use of the sign was not merely ornamental , but rather a symbol of consecration , especially in the case of objects pertaining to burial . In the proto - Etruscan cemetery of Golasecca every tomb has a vase with a cross engraved on it . True crosses of more or less artistic design have been found in Tiryns , at Mycenæ , in Crete , and on a fibula from Vulci . According to W.E. Vine , the cross was used by worshipers of Tammuz , an Ancient Near East deity of Babylonian origin who had the cross-shaped taw ( tau ) as his symbol . Instrument of torture ( edit ) Further information : Instrument of Jesus ' crucifixion and crux simplex John Pearson , Bishop of Chester ( c. 1660 ) wrote in his commentary on the Apostles ' Creed that the Greek word stauros originally signified `` a straight standing Stake , Pale , or Palisador '' , but that , `` when other transverse or prominent parts were added in a perfect Cross , it retained still the Original Name '' , and he declared : `` The Form then of the Cross on which our Saviour suffered was not a simple , but a compounded , Figure , according to the Custom of the Romans , by whose Procurator he was condemned to die . In which there was not only a straight and erected piece of Wood fixed in the Earth , but also a transverse Beam fastned unto that towards the top thereof '' . Early Christian ( edit ) See also : Early Christian symbols The Alexamenos graffito The Sinai icon of Christ Pantocrator ( 6th century ) , showing Christ with a cruciform halo and holding a book adorned with a crux gemmata During the first two centuries of Christianity , the cross was rare in Christian iconography , as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution and Christians were reluctant to use it . A symbol similar to the cross , the staurogram , was used to abbreviate the Greek word for cross in very early New Testament manuscripts such as P66 , P45 and P75 , almost like a nomen sacrum ( nomina sacra ) . The extensive adoption of the cross as Christian iconographic symbol arose from the 4th century . The earliest depiction of the Christian Cross may be the Herculaneum Cross which was found in the city of Herculaneum , which was entombed in pyroclastic material along with Pompeii during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 . Another early depictions of the cross as a Christian symbol is the Alexamenos graffito . However , the cross symbol was already associated with Christians in the 2nd century , as is indicated in the anti-Christian arguments cited in the Octavius of Minucius Felix , chapters IX and XXIX , written at the end of that century or the beginning of the next , and by the fact that by the early 3rd century the cross had become so closely associated with Christ that Clement of Alexandria , who died between 211 and 216 , could without fear of ambiguity use the phrase τὸ κυριακὸν σημεῖον ( the Lord 's sign ) to mean the cross , when he repeated the idea , current as early as the apocryphal Epistle of Barnabas , that the number 318 ( in Greek numerals , ΤΙΗ ) in Genesis 14 : 14 was interpreted as a foreshadowing ( a `` type '' ) of the cross ( T , an upright with crossbar , standing for 300 ) and of Jesus ( ΙΗ , the first two letter of his name ΙΗΣΟΥΣ , standing for 18 ) , and his contemporary Tertullian could designate the body of Christian believers as crucis religiosi , i.e. `` devotees of the Cross '' . In his book De Corona , written in 204 , Tertullian tells how it was already a tradition for Christians to trace repeatedly on their foreheads the sign of the cross . The crucifix , a cross upon which an image of Christ is present , is not known to have been used until the 6th century AD . The Jewish Encyclopedia says : The cross as a Christian symbol or `` seal '' came into use at least as early as the second century ( see `` Apost . Const . '' iii. 17 ; Epistle of Barnabas , xi. - xii. ; Justin , `` Apologia , '' i . 55 - 60 ; `` Dial . cum Tryph . '' 85 - 97 ) ; and the marking of a cross upon the forehead and the chest was regarded as a talisman against the powers of demons ( Tertullian , `` De Corona , '' iii. ; Cyprian , `` Testimonies , '' xi. 21 -- 22 ; Lactantius , `` Divinæ Institutiones , '' iv. 27 , and elsewhere ) . Accordingly the Christian Fathers had to defend themselves , as early as the second century , against the charge of being worshipers of the cross , as may be learned from Tertullian , `` Apologia , '' xii. , xvii. , and Minucius Felix , `` Octavius , '' xxix . Christians used to swear by the power of the cross In contemporary Christianity ( edit ) Further information : Cross necklace A crucifix on the wall of a church In contemporary Christianity , the cross is a symbol of the atonement and reminds Christians of God 's love in sacrificing his own son for humanity . It represents Jesus ' victory over sin and death , since it is believed that through his death and resurrection he conquered death itself . See Colossians 2 : 15 , `` Having disarmed the powers and authorities , he made a public spectacle of them , triumphing over them by the cross . Christian crosses at a joint service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Catholics , Eastern Orthodox , Oriental Orthodox , members of the major branches of Christianity with other adherents as Lutheranism , some Anglicans , and others often make the Sign of the Cross upon themselves . This was already a common Christian practice in the time of Tertullian . The Feast of the Cross is an important Christian feast . One of the twelve Great Feasts in Eastern Orthodoxy is the Exaltation of the Cross on September 14 , which commemorates the consecration of the basilica on the site where the original cross of Jesus was reportedly discovered in 326 by Helena of Constantinople , mother of Constantine the Great . The Catholic Church celebrates the feast on the same day and under the same name ( In Exaltatione Sanctae Crucis ) , though in English it has been called the feast of the Triumph of the Cross . Roman Catholic , Eastern Orthodox and Anglican bishops place a cross ( + ) before their name when signing a document . The dagger symbol ( † ) placed after the name of a dead person ( often with the date of death ) is sometimes taken to be a Christian cross . Exclusion ( edit ) Death on a stake , one of the many forms presented in Justus Lipsius 's De Cruce See also : Instrument of Jesus ' crucifixion Although Christians accepted that the cross was the gallows on which Jesus died , they had already begun in the 2nd century to use it as a Christian symbol . During the first three centuries of the Christian era the cross was `` a symbol of minor importance '' when compared to the prominence given to it later , but by the second century it was nonetheless so closely associated with Christians that Tertullian could designate the body of Christian believers as crucis religiosi , i.e. `` devotees of the Cross '' . and it was already a tradition for Christians to trace repeatedly on their foreheads the sign of the cross . Martin Luther at the time of the Reformation retained the cross and crucifix in the Lutheran Church . Luther wrote : `` The cross alone is our theology . '' He believed one knows God not through works but through suffering , the cross , and faith . The crucifixion of Jesus as presented in Justus Lipsius 's De Cruce The Protestant Reformation spurred a revival of iconoclasm , a wave of rejecting sacred images , which in some localities ( such as England ) included polemics against using the cross in worship . For example , during the 16th century , a minority of theologians in the Anglican and Reformed traditions Nicholas Ridley , James Calfhill , and Theodore Beza , rejected practices that they described as cross worship . Considering it a form of idolatry , there was a dispute in 16th century England over the baptismal use of the sign of the cross and even the public use of crosses . There were more active reactions to religious items that were thought as ' relics of Papacy ' , as happened for example in September 1641 , when Sir Robert Harley , pulled down and destroyed the cross at Wigmore . Writers during the 19th century indicating a pagan origin of the cross included Henry Dana Ward , Mourant Brock , and John Denham Parsons . David Williams , writing of medieval images of monsters , says : `` The disembodied phallus is also formed into a cross , which , before it became for Christianity the symbol of salvation , was a pagan symbol of fertility . '' The study , Gods , Heroes & Kings : The Battle for Mythic Britain states : `` Before the fourth century CE , the cross was not widely embraced as a sign of Christianity , symbolizing as it did the gallows of a criminal . '' Jehovah 's Witnesses do not use the symbol of the cross in their worship , which they believe constitutes idolatry . They believe that Jesus died on a single upright torture stake rather than a two - beam cross , arguing that the Greek term stauros indicated a single upright pole . Although early Watch Tower Society publications associated with the Bible Student movement taught that Christ was executed on a cross , it no longer appeared on Watch Tower Society publications after the name Jehovah 's witnesses was adopted in 1931 , and use of the cross was officially abandoned in 1936 . The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints teaches that Jesus died on a cross , however , their prophet Gordon B. Hinckley stated that `` for us the cross is the symbol of the dying Christ , while our message is a declaration of the living Christ . '' When asked what was the symbol of his religion , Hinckley replied `` the lives of our people must become the only meaningful expression of our faith and , in fact , therefore , the symbol of our worship .

"During the first two centuries of Christianity, the cross was rare in Christian iconography, as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution and Christians were reluctant to use it.[1] A symbol similar to the cross, the staurogram, was used to abbreviate the Greek word for cross in very early New Testament manuscripts such as P66, P45 and P75, almost like a nomen sacrum (nomina sacra).[6] The extensive adoption of the cross as Christian iconographic symbol arose from the 4th century.[7]"

The first generation of animators in the late 1910s included Ōten Shimokawa , Jun'ichi Kōuchi and Seitaro Kitayama , commonly referred to as the `` fathers '' of anime . Propaganda films , such as Momotarō no Umiwashi ( 1943 ) and Momotarō : Umi no Shinpei ( 1945 ) , the latter being the first anime feature film , were made during World War II . During the 1970s , anime developed further , with the inspiration of Disney animators , separating itself from its Western roots , and developing distinct genres such as mecha and its super robot subgenre . Typical shows from this period include Astro Boy , Lupin III and Mazinger Z . During this period several filmmakers became famous , especially Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii . In the 1980s , anime became mainstream in Japan , experiencing a boom in production with the rise in popularity of anime like Gundam , Macross , Dragon Ball , and genres such as real robot , space opera and cyberpunk . Space Battleship Yamato and The Super Dimension Fortress Macross also achieved worldwide success after being adapted respectively as Star Blazers and Robotech . The film Akira set records in 1988 for the production costs of an anime film and went on to become an international success . Later , in 2004 , the same creators produced Steamboy , which took over as the most expensive anime film . Spirited Away shared the first prize at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival and won the 2003 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature , while Innocence : Ghost in the Shell was featured at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival .

Known as Katsudō Shashin ( 活動 写真 , `` Activity Photo '' ) , from its depiction of a boy in a sailor suit drawing the characters for katsudō shashin , the film was first found in 2005 . It consists of fifty frames stenciled directly onto a strip of celluloid . This claim has not been verified though and predates the first known showing of animated films in Japan . The date and first film publicly displayed is another source of contention : while no Japanese - produced animation is definitively known to date before 1917 , the possibility exists that other films entered Japan and that no known records have surfaced to prove a showing prior to 1912 . Film titles have surfaced over the years , but none have been proven to predate this year . The first foreign animation is known to have been found in Japan in 1910 , but it is not clear if the film was ever shown in a cinema or publicly displayed at all . Yasushi Watanabe found a film known as Fushigi no Bōrudo ( 不思議 の ボールド , `` Miracle Board '' ) in the records of the Yoshizawa Shōten ( 吉沢 商店 ) company . The description matches James Blackton 's Humorous Phases of Funny Faces , though academic consensus on whether or not this is a true animated film is disputed . According to Kyokko Yoshiyama , the first animated film called Nippāru no Henkei ( ニッパール の 変形 , `` Nippāru 's Transformation '' ) was shown in Japan at the Asakusa Teikokukan ( 浅草 帝国 館 ) in Tokyo sometime in 1911 . Yoshiyama did not refer to the film as `` animation '' though . The first confirmed animated film shown in Japan was Les Exploits de Feu Follet by Émile Cohl on April 15 , 1912 . While speculation and other `` trick films '' have been found in Japan , it is the first recorded account of a public showing of a two - dimensional animated film in Japanese cinema . During this time , German animations marketed for home release were distributed in Japan. . Few complete animations made during the beginnings of Japanese animation have survived . The reasons vary , but many are of commercial nature . After the clips had been run , reels ( being property of the cinemas ) were sold to smaller cinemas in the country and then disassembled and sold as strips or single frames . The first anime that was produced in Japan was made sometime in 1917 , but there it is disputed which title was the first to get that honor . It has been confirmed that Dekobō Shingachō : Meian no Shippai ( 凸 坊 新 画帳 ・ 名 案 の 失敗 , `` Bumpy New Picture Book : Failure of a Great Plan '' ) was made sometime during February 1917 . At least two unconfirmed titles were reported to have been made the previous month . The first anime short - films were made by three leading figures in the industry . Ōten Shimokawa was a political caricaturist and cartoonist who worked for the magazine Tokyo Puck . He was hired by Tenkatsu to do an animation for them . Due to medical reasons , he was only able to do five movies , including Imokawa Mukuzo Genkanban no Maki ( 1917 ) , before he returned to his previous work as a cartoonist . Another prominent animator in this period was Jun'ichi Kōuchi . He was a caricaturist and painter , who also had studied watercolor painting . In 1912 , he also entered the cartoonist sector and was hired for an animation by Kobayashi Shokai later in 1916 . He is viewed as the most technically advanced Japanese animator of the 1910s . His works include around 15 movies . The third was Seitaro Kitayama , an early animator who made animations on his own and was not hired by larger corporations . He eventually founded his own animation studio , the Kitayama Eiga Seisakujo , which was later closed due to lack of commercial success . He utilized the chalkboard technique , and later paper animation , with and without pre-printed backgrounds . The works of these two latter pioneers include Namakura Gatana ( `` An Obtuse Sword '' , 1917 ) and a 1918 film Urashima Tarō which were believed to have been discovered together at an antique market in 2007 . However , this Urashima Tarō was later proved to most likely be a different film of the same story than the 1918 one by Kitayama , which , as of October 2017 , remains undiscovered . Prewar productions ( 1923 -- 1939 ) ( edit ) Yasuji Murata , Hakuzan Kimura , Sanae Yamamoto and Noburō Ōfuji were students of Kitayama Seitaro and worked at his film studio . Kenzō Masaoka , another important animator , worked at a smaller animation studio . In 1923 , the Great Kantō earthquake destroyed most of the Kitayama studio and the residing animators spread out and founded studios of their own . Prewar animators faced several difficulties . First , they had to compete with foreign producers such as Disney , which were influential on both audiences and producers . Foreign films had already made a profit abroad and could be undersold in the Japanese market , priced lower than what domestic producers needed to break even . Japanese animators thus had to work cheaply , in small companies with only a handful of employees , which then made it difficult to compete in terms of quality with foreign product that was in color , with sound , and promoted by much bigger companies . Until the mid-1930s , Japanese animation generally used cutout animation instead of cel animation because the celluloid was too expensive . This resulted in animation that could seem derivative , flat ( since motion forward and backward was difficult ) and without detail . But just as postwar Japanese animators were able to turn limited animation into a plus , so masters such as Yasuji Murata and Noburō Ōfuji were able to perform wonders with cutout animation . Animators such as Kenzō Masaoka and Mitsuyo Seo , however , did attempt to bring Japanese animation up to the level of foreign work by introducing cel animation , sound , and technology such as the multiplane camera . Masaoka created the first talkie anime , Chikara to Onna no Yo no Naka , released in 1933 , and the first anime made entirely using cel animation , The Dance of the Chagamas ( 1934 ) . Seo was the first to use the multiplane camera in Ari - chan in 1941 . Such innovations , however , were difficult to support purely commercially , so prewar animation depended considerably on sponsorship , as animators often concentrated on making PR films for companies , educational films for the government , and eventually works of propaganda for the military . During this time , censorship and school regulations discouraged film - viewing by children , so anime which could possess educational value were supported and encouraged by the Monbusho ( the Ministry of Education ) . This proved important for producers that had experienced obstacles releasing their work in regular theaters . Animation had found a place in scholastic , political and industrial use . During the Second World war ( edit ) See also : List of anime by release date ( 1939 -- 1945 ) In the 1930s , the Japanese government began enforcing cultural nationalism . This also lead to a strict censorship and control of published media . Many animators were urged to produce animations which enforced the Japanese spirit and national affiliation . Some movies were shown in newsreel theaters , especially after the Film Law of 1939 promoted documentary and other educational films . Such support helped boost the industry , as bigger companies formed through mergers and prompted major live - action studios such as Shochiku to begin producing animation . It was at Shochiku that such masterworks as Kenzō Masaoka 's Kumo to Chūrippu were produced . Wartime reorganization of the industry , however , merged the feature film studios into three big companies . More animated films were commissioned by the military , showing the sly , quick Japanese people winning against enemy forces . In 1941 , Princess Iron Fan was made in China , as Asia 's first full - length animated feature . In 1943 , Geijutsu Eigasha produced Mitsuyo Seo 's Momotaro 's Sea Eagles with help from the Navy . Shochiku then made Japan 's first full - length animated feature , Seo 's Momotaro 's Divine Sea Warriors in 1945 , again with the help of the Navy . Due to economic factors , it would be Japan which later emerged long after the war with the most readily available resources to continue expanding the industry . Toei animation and Mushi production ( edit ) See also : List of anime by release date ( 1946 -- 1959 ) In 1948 , Toei Animation was founded and produced the first color anime feature film in 1958 , Hakujaden ( The Tale of the White Serpent , 1958 ) . It was released in the US in 1961 as Panda and the Magic Serpent . After the success of the project , Toei released a new feature - length animation annually . Toei 's style was characterized by an emphasis on each animator bringing his own ideas to the production . The most extreme example of this is Isao Takahata 's film Hols : Prince of the Sun ( 1968 ) . Hols is often seen as the first major break from the normal anime style and the beginning of a later movement of `` auteuristic '' or `` progressive anime '' which would eventually involve directors such as Hayao Miyazaki ( creator of Spirited Away ) and Mamoru Oshii . A major contribution of Toei 's style to modern anime was the development of the `` money shot '' . This cost - cutting method of animation allows for emphasis to be placed on important shots by animating them with more detail than the rest of the work ( which would often be limited animation ) . Toei animator Yasuo Ōtsuka began to experiment with this style and developed it further as he went into television . In the 1980s , Toei would later lend its talent to companies like Sunbow Productions , Marvel Productions , DiC Entertainment , Murakami - Wolf - Swenson , Ruby Spears and Hanna Barbera , producing several animated cartoons for America during this period . Other studios like TMS Entertainment , were also being used in the 1980s , which lead to Asian studios being used more often to animate foreign productions , but the companies involved still produced anime for their native Japan . Osamu Tezuka established Mushi Production in 1961 , after Tezuka 's contract with Toei Animation expired . The studio pioneered TV animation in Japan , and was responsible for such successful TV series as Astro Boy , Kimba the White Lion , Gokū no Daibōken and Princess Knight . Mushi Production also produced the first anime to be broadcast in the United States ( on NBC in 1963 ) , although Osamu Tezuka would complain about the restrictions on US television , and the alterations necessary for broadcast . 1960s ( edit ) The 1960s brought anime to television and in America . The first anime film to be broadcast was Three Tales in 1960 . The following year saw the premiere of Japan 's first animated television series , Instant History , although it did not consist entirely of animation . Osamu Tezuka 's Tetsuwan Atom ( Astro Boy ) is often miscredited as the first anime television series , premiering on January 1 , 1963 . Astro Boy was highly influential to other anime in the 1960s , and was followed by a large number of anime about robots or space . 1963 introduced Sennin Buraku as the first `` late night '' anime and Toei Doga 's first anime television series Wolf Boy Ken . Mushi Pro continued to produce more anime television and met success with titles such as Kimba the White Lion in 1965 . What is noted as the first magical girl anime , Sally the Witch , began broadcast in 1966 . The original Speed Racer anime television began in 1967 , and was brought to the West with great success . At the same time , an anime adaptation of Tezuka 's Princess Knight aired , making it one of very few shoujo anime of the decade . The first anime adaptation of Shotaro Ishinomori 's manga Cyborg 009 was created in 1968 , following the film adaptation two years prior . The long - running Sazae - san anime also began in 1969 and continues today with excess of 6,500 episodes broadcast as of 2014 . With an audience share of 25 % the series is still the most - popular anime broadcast . 1970s ( edit ) During the 1970s , the Japanese film market shrank due to competition from television . This reduced Toei animation 's staff and many animators went to studios such as A Pro and Telecom animation . Mushi Production went bankrupt ( though the studio was revived 4 years later ) , its former employees founding studios such as Madhouse and Sunrise . Many young animators were thrust into the position of director , and the injection of young talent allowed for a wide variety of experimentation . One of the earliest successful television productions in the early 1970s was Tomorrow 's Joe ( 1970 ) , a boxing anime which has become iconic in Japan . 1971 saw the first installment of the Lupin III anime . Contrary to the franchise 's currently popularity , the first series ran for 23 episodes before being cancelled . The second series ( starting in 1977 ) saw considerably more success , spanning 155 episodes over three years . Another example of this experimentation is Isao Takahata 's 1974 television series Heidi , Girl of the Alps . This show was originally a hard sell because it was a simple realistic drama aimed at children , and most TV networks thought children needed something more fantastic to draw them in . Heidi was an international success , popular in many European countries , and so successful in Japan that it allowed for Hayao Miyazaki and Takahata to start a series of literary - based anime ( World Masterpiece Theater ) . Miyazaki and Takahata left Nippon Animation in the late 1970s . Two of Miyazaki 's critically acclaimed productions during the 1970s were Future Boy Conan ( 1978 ) and Lupin III : The Castle of Cagliostro ( 1979 ) . During this period , Japanese animation reached continental Europe with productions aimed at European and Japanese children , with the most - pronounced examples being the aforementioned Heidi but also Barbapapa and Vicky the Vikings . Italy , Spain and France grew an interest in Japan 's output , which was offered for a low price . Another genre known as mecha came into being at this time . Some early works include Mazinger Z ( 1972 -- 1974 ) , Science Ninja Team Gatchaman ( 1972 -- 1974 ) , Space Battleship Yamato ( 1974 -- 75 ) and Mobile Suit Gundam ( 1979 -- 80 ) . As a contrast to the action - oriented shows , shows for a female audience such as Candy Candy and Rose of Versailles earned high popularity on Japanese television and later in other parts of the world . By 1978 , over fifty shows were aired on television . 1980s ( edit ) The release of Space Battleship Yamato is often cited as the beginning of anime space operas . The shift towards space operas became more pronounced with the commercial success of Star Wars ( 1977 ) . This allowed for the space opera Space Battleship Yamato ( 1974 ) to be revived as a theatrical film . Mobile Suit Gundam ( 1979 ) was also unsuccessful and revived as a theatrical film in 1982 . The success of the theatrical versions of Yamato and Gundam are seen as the beginning of the anime boom of the 1980s , and of `` Japanese Cinema 's Second Golden Age '' . A subculture in Japan , who later called themselves otaku , began to develop around animation magazines such as Animage or later Newtype . These magazines formed in response to the overwhelming fandom that developed around shows such as Yamato and Gundam in the late 1970s and early 1980s . In the United States , the popularity of Star Wars had a similar , though much smaller , effect on the development of anime . Gatchaman was reworked and edited into Battle of the Planets in 1978 and again as G - Force in 1986 . Space Battleship Yamato was reworked and edited into Star Blazers in 1979 . The Macross series began with The Super Dimension Fortress Macross ( 1982 ) , which was adapted into English as the first arc of Robotech ( 1985 ) , which was created from three separate anime titles : The Super Dimension Fortress Macross , Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross and Genesis Climber Mospeada . The sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam , Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam ( 1985 ) , became the most successful real robot space opera in Japan , where it managed an average television rating of 6.6 % and a peak of 11.7 % . The otaku subculture became more pronounced with Mamoru Oshii 's adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi 's popular manga Urusei Yatsura ( 1981 ) . Yatsura made Takahashi a household name and Oshii would break away from fan culture and take a more auteuristic approach with his 1984 film Urusei Yatsura 2 : Beautiful Dreamer . This break with the otaku subculture would allow Oshii to experiment further . The otaku subculture had some effect on people who were entering the industry around this time . The most famous of these people were the amateur production group Daicon Films which would become Gainax . Gainax began by making films for the Daicon science fiction conventions and were so popular in the otaku community that they were given a chance to helm the biggest - budgeted anime film ( at that time ) , Royal Space Force : The Wings of Honnêamise ( 1987 ) . The film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind helped jumpstart Studio Ghibli . One of the most - influential anime of all time , Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ( 1984 ) , was made during this period . The film gave extra prestige to anime allowing for many experimental and ambitious projects to be funded shortly after its release . It also allowed director Hayao Miyazaki and his longtime colleague Isao Takahata to create their own studio under the supervision of former Animage editor Toshio Suzuki . This studio would become known as Studio Ghibli and its first film was Laputa : Castle in the Sky ( 1986 ) , one of Miyazaki 's most - ambitious films . The success of Dragon Ball ( 1986 ) introduced the martial arts genre and became incredibly influential in the Japanese Animation industry . It influenced many more martial arts anime and manga series ' including YuYu Hakusho ( 1990 ) , One Piece ( 1999 ) , and Naruto ( 2002 ) . The 1980s brought anime to the home video market in the form of original video animation ( OVA ) . The first OVA was Mamoru Oshii 's Dallos ( 1983 -- 1984 ) . Shows such as Patlabor had their beginnings in this market and it proved to be a way to test less - marketable animation against audiences . The OVA allowed for the release of pornographic anime such as Cream Lemon ( 1984 ) ; the first hentai OVA was actually the little - known Wonder Kids studio 's Lolita Anime , also released in 1984 . The 1980s also saw the amalgamation of anime with video games . The airing of Red Photon Zillion ( 1987 ) and subsequent release of its companion game , is considered to have been a marketing ploy by Sega to promote sales of their newly released Master System in Japan . Sports anime , as it is now known , made its debut in 1983 with an anime adaptation of Yoichi Takahashi 's soccer manga Captain Tsubasa , which became the first worldwide successful sports anime . Its themes and stories were a formula that would be used in many sports series that followed , such as Slam Dunk , Prince of Tennis and Eyeshield 21 . The late 1980s saw an increasing number of high - budget and experimental films . In 1985 , Toshio Suzuki helped put together funding for Oshii 's experimental film Angel 's Egg ( 1985 ) . Theatrical releases became more ambitious , each film trying to outclass or outspend its predecessors , taking cues from Nausicaä 's popular and critical success . Night on the Galactic Railroad ( 1985 ) , Tale of Genji ( 1986 ) , and Grave of the Fireflies ( 1988 ) were all ambitious films based on important literary works in Japan . Films such as Char 's Counterattack ( 1988 ) and Arion ( 1986 ) were lavishly budgeted spectacles . This period of lavish budgeting and experimentation would reach its zenith with two of the most - expensive anime film productions ever : Royal Space Force : The Wings of Honneamise ( 1987 ) and Akira ( 1988 ) . Studio Ghibli 's Kiki 's Delivery Service ( 1989 ) was the top - grossing film for 1989 , earning over $40 million at the box office . Despite the commercial failure of Akira in Japan , it brought with it a much larger international fan base for anime . When shown overseas , the film became a cult hit and , eventually , a symbol of the medium for the West . The domestic failure and international success of Akira , combined with the bursting of the bubble economy and Osamu Tezuka 's death in 1989 , brought a close to the 1980s era of anime . 1990s ( edit ) In 1995 , Hideaki Anno wrote and directed the controversial anime , Neon Genesis Evangelion . This show became popular in Japan among anime fans and became known to the general public through mainstream media attention . It is believed that Anno originally wanted the show to be the ultimate otaku anime designed to revive the declining anime industry , but midway through production he also made it into a heavy critique of the subculture , eventually culminating in the controversial successful film The End of Evangelion ( 1997 ) which grossed over $10 million . Anno would go on to produce live - action films . Many scenes in Evangelion were so controversial that it forced TV Tokyo to clamp down with censorship of violence and sexuality in anime . As a result , when Cowboy Bebop ( 1998 ) was first broadcast it was shown heavily edited and only half the episodes were aired ; though it too eventually became a mainstream hit both in and outside of Japan . Evangelion started a series of so - called `` post-Evangelion '' or `` organic '' mecha shows . Most of these were giant robot shows with some kind of religious or difficult plot . These include RahXephon , Brain Powerd , and Gasaraki . It also led to late - night experimental TV shows . Starting with Serial Experiments Lain ( 1998 ) , late - night Japanese television became a forum for experimental anime such as Boogiepop Phantom ( 2000 ) , Texhnolyze ( 2003 ) and Paranoia Agent ( 2004 ) . Experimental anime films were also released in the 1990s , most notably the cyberpunk thriller Ghost in the Shell ( 1995 ) , which alongside Megazone 23 ( 1985 ) , had a strong influence on The Matrix . Ghost in the Shell , alongside Evangelion and the neo-noir space western Cowboy Bebop , helped further entrench the awareness of anime in the international consciousness born out of the success of Akira . The late 1990s also saw a brief revival of the super robot genre that was once popular in the 1960s and 1970s but had become rare due to the popularity of real robot shows such as the Gundam and Macross series in the 1980s and psychological mecha shows such as Neon Genesis Evangelion in the 1990s . The revival of the super robot genre began with the Brave ( Yuusha ) Series , starting with Brave Exkaiser in 1990 , also there were many remakes and sequels of 1970s super robot shows such as Getter Robo Go and Tetsujin - 28 go FX in response to `` post-Evangelion '' trends , but there were very few popular super robot shows produced after this , until Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann in 2007 . Alongside its super robot counterpart , the real robot genre was also declining during the 1990s . Though several Gundam shows were produced during this decade , very few of them were successful . The only Gundam shows in the 1990s which managed an average television rating over 4 % in Japan were Mobile Fighter G Gundam ( 1994 ) and New Mobile Report Gundam Wing ( 1995 ) . It was n't until Mobile Suit Gundam SEED in 2002 that the real robot genre regained its popularity . 3D rendering was used in this scene of Princess Mononoke , the most expensive animated film at the time , costing $20 million The 1990s also saw the popular video game series , Pokémon , spawn an anime television series which is still running , several anime movies , a trading card game , toys , etc . Other 1990s anime series which gained international success were Dragon Ball Z , Sailor Moon , and Digimon ; the success of these shows brought international recognition to the martial arts superhero genre , the magical girl genre , and the action - adventure genre , respectively . In particular , Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon were dubbed into more than a dozen languages worldwide . Another large success was the anime One Piece , based on the best - selling manga of all time , which is still ongoing . In 1997 , Hayao Miyazaki 's Princess Mononoke became the most - expensive animated film up until that time , costing $20 million to produce . Miyazaki personally checked each of the 144,000 cels in the film , and is estimated to have redrawn parts of 80,000 of them . By 1998 , over one hundred shows were aired on television . 2000s ( edit ) The `` Evangelion - era '' trend continued into the 2000s with Evangelion - inspired mecha anime such as RahXephon ( 2002 ) and Zegapain ( 2006 ) -- RahXephon was also intended to help revive 1970s - style mecha designs . The real robot genre ( including the Gundam and Macross franchises ) , which had declined during the 1990s , was revived in 2002 with the success of shows such as Mobile Suit Gundam SEED ( 2002 ) , Eureka Seven ( 2005 ) , Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion ( 2006 ) , Mobile Suit Gundam 00 ( 2007 ) , and Macross Frontier ( 2008 ) . The 1970s - style super robot genre revival began with GaoGaiGar in 1997 and continued into the 2000s , with several remakes of classic series such as Getter Robo and Dancougar , as well as original titles created in the super robot mold like Godannar and Gurren Lagann . Gurren Lagann in particular combined the super robot genre with elements from 1980s real robot shows , as well as 1990s `` post-Evangelion '' shows . Gurren Lagann received both the `` best television production '' and `` best character design '' awards from the Tokyo International Anime Fair in 2008 . This eventually culminated in the release of Shin Mazinger in 2009 , a full - length revival of the first super robot series , Mazinger Z . An art movement started by Takashi Murakami that combined Japanese pop - culture with postmodern art called Superflat began around this time . Murakami asserts that the movement is an analysis of post-war Japanese culture through the eyes of the otaku subculture . His desire is also to get rid of the categories of ' high ' and ' low ' art making a flat continuum , hence the term ' superflat ' . His art exhibitions are very popular and have an influence on some anime creators particularly those from Studio 4 ° C . The experimental late night anime trend popularized by Serial Experiments Lain also continued into the 2000s with experimental anime such as Boogiepop Phantom ( 2000 ) , Texhnolyze ( 2003 ) , Paranoia Agent ( 2004 ) , Gantz ( 2004 ) , and Ergo Proxy ( 2006 ) In addition to these experimental trends , the 2000s were also characterized by an increase of moe - style art and bishōjo and bishōnen character design . There was a rising presence and popularity of genres such as romance , harem and slice of life . Anime based on eroge and visual novels increased in popularity in the 2000s , building on a trend started in the late 1990s by such works as Sentimental Journey ( 1998 ) and To Heart ( 1999 ) . Examples of such works include Green Green ( 2003 ) , SHUFFLE ! ( 2006 ) , Kanon ( 2002 and 2006 ) , Fate / Stay Night ( 2006 ) , Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ( 2006 ) , Ef : A Tale of Memories ( 2007 ) , True Tears ( 2008 ) , and Clannad ( 2008 and 2009 ) . Many shows have been adapted from manga and light novels , including popular titles such as Inuyasha ( 2000 ) , Naruto ( 2002 ) , Fullmetal Alchemist ( 2003 ) , Monster ( 2004 ) , Bleach ( 2004 ) , Rozen Maiden ( 2005 ) , Aria the Animation ( 2005 ) , Shakugan no Shana ( 2005 ) , Pani Poni Dash ! ( 2005 ) , Death Note ( 2006 ) , Mushishi ( 2006 ) , Sola ( 2007 ) , The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ( 2006 ) , Lucky Star ( 2007 ) , Toradora ! ( 2008 -- 09 ) , K - On ! ( 2009 ) , Bakemonogatari ( 2009 ) , and Fairy Tail ( 2009 ) ; these shows typically last several years and achieve large fanbases . Nevertheless , original anime titles continue to be produced with the same success . The 2000s marked a trend of emphasis of the otaku subculture . A notable critique of this otaku subculture is found in the 2006 anime Welcome to the N.H.K. , which features a hikikomori ( socially withdrawn ) protagonist and explores the effects and consequences of various Japanese sub-cultures , such as otaku , lolicon , internet suicide , massively multiplayer online games and multi-level marketing . In contrast to the above - mentioned phenomenon , there have been more productions of late - night anime for a non-otaku audience as well . The first concentrated effort came from Fuji TV 's Noitamina block . The 30 - minute late - Thursday timeframe was created to showcase productions for young women of college age , a demographic that watches very little anime . The first production Honey and Clover was a particular success , peaking at a 5 % TV rating in Kantou , very strong for late - night anime . The block has been running uninterrupted since April 2005 and has yielded many successful productions unique in the modern anime market . There have been revivals of American cartoons such as Transformers which spawned four new series , Transformers : Car Robots in 2000 , Transformers : Micron Legend in 2003 , Transformers : Superlink in 2004 , and Transformers : Galaxy Force in 2005 . In addition , an anime adaptation of the G.I Joe series was produced titled G.I. Joe : Sigma 6 . The revival of earlier anime series was seen in the forms of Fist of the North Star : The Legends of the True Savior ( 2006 ) and Dragon Ball Z Kai ( 2009 ) . Later series also started receiving revivals in the late 2000s and early 2010s , such as with Studio Khara 's Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy ( 2007 -- ) , and new adaptations of Masamune Shirow 's manga Appleseed XIII ( 2011 ) and Ghost in the Shell : Arise ( 2013 -- 2016 ) . The decade also dawned a revival of high - budget feature - length anime films , such as Millennium Actress ( 2001 ) , Metropolis ( 2001 ) , Appleseed ( 2001 ) , Paprika ( 2006 ) , and the most expensive of all being Steamboy ( 2004 ) which cost $26 million to produce . Satoshi Kon established himself alongside Otomo and Oshii as one of the premier directors of anime film , before his premature death at the age of 46 . Other younger film directors , such as Mamoru Hosoda , director of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time ( 2006 ) and Summer Wars ( 2009 ) , also began to reach prominence . During this decade , anime feature films were nominated for and won major international film awards for the first time in the industry 's history . In 2002 , Spirited Away , a Studio Ghibli production directed by Hayao Miyazaki , won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and in 2003 at the 75th Academy Awards it won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature . It was the first non-American film to win the award and is one of only two to do so . It has also become the highest grossing anime film , with a worldwide box office of US $ 274 million . Following the launch of Toonami on Cartoon Network and later Adult Swim , anime saw a giant rise in the North American market . Kid - friendly anime such as Pokémon , Yu - Gi - Oh ! , Digimon , Doraemon , Bakugan , Beyblade , and the 4Kids Entertainment adaptation of One Piece have all received varying levels of success . This era also saw the rise of anime - influenced animation , most notably Avatar : the Last Airbender and its sequel The Legend of Korra , Ben 10 , Chaotic , Samurai Jack , The Boondocks , RWBY and Teen Titans . At the 2004 Cannes Film Festival , Ghost in the Shell 2 : Innocence , directed by Mamoru Oshii , was in competition for the Palme d'Or and in 2006 , at the 78th Academy Awards , Howl 's Moving Castle , another Studio Ghibli - produced film directed by Hayao Miyazaki , was nominated for Best Animated Feature. 5 Centimeters Per Second , directed by Makoto Shinkai , won the inaugural Asia Pacific Screen Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2007 , and so far , anime films have been nominated for the award every year . By 2004 , over two hundred shows were aired on television . 2010s ( edit ) In 2012 , the Toonami block in the US was relaunched as an adult - oriented action block on Adult Swim , bringing uncut anime to a far wider audience . In addition to re-releasing older shows , the block ( as well as Adult Swim itself ) oversees the premiere of English releases for various new shows , including : Durarara ! ! ( 2010 ) , Deadman Wonderland ( 2011 ) , Hunter x Hunter ( 2011 ) , Sword Art Online ( 2012 ) , Attack on Titan ( 2013 ) , Kill la Kill ( 2013 ) , Space Dandy ( 2014 ) , Akame ga Kill ! ( 2014 ) , Parasyte - the maxim - ( 2014 ) , and One Punch Man ( 2015 ) . On September 6 , 2013 Hayao Miyazaki announced that The Wind Rises ( 2013 ) would be his last film , and on August 3 , 2014 it was announced that Studio Ghibli was `` temporarily halting production '' following the release of When Marnie Was There ( 2014 ) , further substantiating the finality of Miyazaki 's retirement . The disappointing sales of Isao Takahata 's comeback film The Tale of Princess Kaguya ( 2013 ) has also been cited as a factor . Additionally , various international anime distribution companies , such as ADV Films , Bandai Entertainment , and Geneon Entertainment , were shut down due to poor revenue , with their assets spun into new companies like Sentai Filmworks or given to other companies . Both Attack on Titan and The Wind Rises reflect a national debate surrounding the reinterpretation of Article 9 of the Constitution of Japan , with Miyazaki 's pacifism in the film coming under fire from the political right , while Attack on Titan has been accused of promoting militarism by people in neighboring Asian countries , despite being intended to show the haunting , hopeless aspects of conflict . The mecha anime genre ( as well as Japanese kaiju films ) received a Western homage with the 2013 film Pacific Rim directed by Guillermo del Toro . Western streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime are increasingly becoming involved in the production and licensing of anime . In 2015 , an all record - high of three hundred forty shows aired on television . Firsts ( edit ) First ...

"The 1960s brought anime to television and in America. The first anime film to be broadcast was Three Tales in 1960. The following year saw the premiere of Japan's first animated television series, Instant History, although it did not consist entirely of animation.[17]:90 Osamu Tezuka's Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) is often miscredited as the first anime television series, premiering on January 1, 1963.[19] Astro Boy was highly influential to other anime in the 1960s,[20] and was followed by a large number of anime about robots or space.\n"

Rust refers to the deindustrialization , or economic decline , population loss , and urban decay due to the shrinking of its once - powerful industrial sector . The term gained popularity in the U.S. in the 1980s . The Rust Belt begins in western New York and traverses west through Pennsylvania , West Virginia , Ohio , Indiana , and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan , ending in northern Illinois , eastern Iowa , and southeastern Wisconsin . New England was also hard hit by industrial decline during the same era . Previously known as the industrial heartland of America , industry has been declining in the region since the mid-20th century due to a variety of economic factors , such as the transfer of manufacturing further West , increased automation , and the decline of the US steel and coal industries . While some cities and towns have managed to adapt by shifting focus towards services and high - tech industries , others have not fared as well , witnessing rising poverty and declining populations . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Geography 3 History 3.1 Outcomes 3.2 Transformation 4 International equivalents 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Background ( edit ) In the 20th century , local economies in these states specialized in large - scale manufacturing of finished medium to heavy industrial and consumer products , as well as the transportation and processing of the raw materials required for heavy industry . The area was referred to as the Manufacturing Belt , Factory Belt , or Steel Belt as distinct from the agricultural Midwestern states forming the so - called Corn Belt and Great Plains states that are often called the `` bread - basket of America '' . The flourishing of industrial manufacturing in the region was caused in part by the close proximity to the Great Lakes waterways , and abundance of paved roads , water canals and railroads . After the transportation infrastructure linked the iron ore found in northern Minnesota , Wisconsin and Upper Michigan with the coal mined from Appalachian Mountains , the Steel Belt was born . Soon it developed into the Factory Belt with its great American manufacturing cities : Chicago , Buffalo , Detroit , Milwaukee , Cincinnati , Toledo , Cleveland , St. Louis , and Pittsburgh among others . This region for decades served as a magnet for immigrants from Austria - Hungary , Poland and Russia who provided the industrial facilities with inexpensive labor . Following several `` boom '' periods from the late - 19th to the mid-20th century , cities in this area struggled to adapt to a variety of adverse economic and social conditions . From 1979 to 1982 , the US Federal Reserve decided to raise the base interest rate in the United States to 19 % . High interest rates attracted wealthy foreign `` hot money '' into US banks and caused the US dollar to appreciate . This made US products more expensive for foreigners to buy and also made imports much cheaper for Americans to purchase . The misaligned exchange rate was not rectified until 1986 , by which time Japanese imports in particular had made rapid inroads into US markets . From 1987 to 1999 , the US stock market went into stratospheric rise , and this continued to pull wealthy foreign money into US banks , which biased the exchange rate against manufactured goods . Related issues include the decline of the iron and steel industry , the movement of manufacturing to the southeastern states with their lower labor costs , the layoffs due to the rise of automation in industrial processes , the decreased need for labor in making steel products , the internationalization of American business , and the liberalization of foreign trade policies due to globalization . Cities struggling with these conditions shared several difficulties , including population loss , lack of education , declining tax revenues , high unemployment and crime , drugs , swelling welfare rolls , deficit spending , and poor municipal credit ratings . Geography ( edit ) See also : Regional economics and Shrinking cities in the United States The Rust Belt of the United States ( red ) As people migrate , they often coin new names for their destinations . Since the term `` Rust Belt '' pertains to a set of economic and social conditions rather than to an overall geographical region of the United States per se , the Rust Belt has no precise boundaries . The extent to which a community may have been described as a `` Rust Belt city '' depends at least as much on how great a role industrial manufacturing played in its local economy in the past and how it does now , as on perceptions of the economic viability and living standards of the present day . News media occasionally refer to a patchwork of defunct centres of heavy industry and manufacturing across the Great Lakes and mid-western United States as the snow belt , the manufacturing belt , or the factory belt - because of their vibrant industrial economies in the past . This includes most of the cities of the Midwest as far west as the Mississippi River , including St. Louis , and many of those in the Great Lakes and Northern New York. . At the centre of this expanse lies an area stretching from northern Indiana and southern Michigan in the west to Upstate New York in the east , where local tax revenues as of 2004 relied more heavily on manufacturing than on any other sector . Before World War II , the cities in the Rust Belt region were among the largest in the United States . However , by the twentieth century 's end their population had fallen the most in the country . History ( edit ) The linking of the former Northwest Territory with the once - rapidly industrializing East Coast was affected through several large - scale infrastructural projects , most notably the Erie Canal in 1825 , the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1830 , the Allegheny Portage Railroad in 1834 , and the consolidation of the New York Central after the American Civil War . A gate was thereby opened between a variety of burgeoning industries on the interior North American continent and the markets not only of the large Eastern cities , but of Western Europe as well . Coal , iron ore and other raw materials were shipped in from surrounding regions which emerged as major ports on the Great Lakes and served as transportation hubs for the region with a proximity to railroad lines . Coming in the other direction were millions of European immigrants , who populated the cities along the Great Lakes shores with then - unprecedented speed . Chicago , famously , was a rural trading post in the 1840s but grew to be as big as Paris by the time of the 1893 Columbian Exposition . Sectors of the US Economy as percent of GDP 1947 -- 2009 . Early signs of the difficulty in the northern states were evident early in the 20th century , before the `` boom years '' were even over . Lowell , Massachusetts , once the centre of textile production in the United States , was described in the magazine Harper 's as a `` depressed industrial desert '' as early as 1931 , as its textile concerns were being uprooted and sent southward , primarily to the Carolinas . After the Great Depression , American entry into the Second World War effected a rapid return to economic growth , during which much of the industrial North reached its peak in population and industrial output . The northern cities experienced changes that followed the end of the war , with the onset of the outward migration of residents to newer suburban communities , and the declining role of manufacturing in the American economy . Deteriorating U.S. net international investment position ( N.I.I.P. ) has caused concern among economists over the effects of outsourcing and high U.S. trade deficits over the long - run . Outsourcing of manufacturing jobs in tradeable goods has been an important issue in the region . One source has been globalization and the expansion of worldwide free trade agreements . Anti-globalization groups argue that trade with developing countries has resulted in stiff competition from countries such as China which pegs its currency to the dollar and has much lower prevailing wages , forcing domestic wages to drift downward . Some economists are concerned that long - run effects of high trade deficits and outsourcing are a cause of economic problems in the U.S. with high external debt ( amount owed to foreign lenders ) and a serious deterioration in the United States net international investment position ( NIIP ) ( − 24 % of GDP ) . Some economists contend that the U.S. is borrowing to fund consumption of imports while accumulating unsustainable amounts of debt . On June 26 , 2009 , Jeff Immelt , the CEO of General Electric , called for the United States to increase its manufacturing base employment to 20 % of the workforce , commenting that the U.S. has outsourced too much in some areas and can no longer rely on the financial sector and consumer spending to drive demand . A disused grain elevator in Buffalo Since the 1960s , the expansion of worldwide free trade agreements have been less favorable to U.S. workers . Imported goods such as steel cost much less to produce in Third World countries with cheap foreign labor ( see steel crisis ) . Beginning with the recession of 1970 -- 71 , a new pattern of deindustrializing economy emerged . Competitive devaluation combined with each successive downturn saw traditional U.S. manufacturing workers experiencing lay - offs . In general , in the Factory Belt employment in the manufacturing sector declined by 32.9 % between 1969 and 1996 . Wealth - producing primary and secondary sector jobs such as those in manufacturing and computer software were often replaced by much - lower - paying wealth - consuming jobs such as those in retail and government in the service sector when the economy recovered . A gradual expansion of the U.S. trade deficit with China began in 1985 . In the ensuing years the U.S. developed a massive trade deficit with the East Asian nations of China , Japan , Taiwan , and South Korea . As a result , the traditional manufacturing workers in the region have experienced economic upheaval . This effect has devastated government budgets across the U.S. and increased corporate borrowing to fund retiree benefits . Some economists believe that GDP and employment can be dragged down by large long - run trade deficits . A March 3 , 2008 Wall Street Journal editorial claimed that , while Ohio lost 10,000 jobs in the past decade , Texas created 1.6 million new jobs . The editorial stated , `` Ohio 's most crippling handicap may be that its politicians -- and thus its employers -- are still in the grip of such industrial unions as the United Auto Workers . '' A September 13 , 2008 opinion column by Phil Gramm and Mike Solon stated , `` Yes , Michigan lost 83,000 auto manufacturing jobs during the past decade and a half , but more than 91,000 new auto manufacturing jobs sprung up in Alabama , Tennessee , Kentucky , Georgia , South Carolina , Virginia and Texas . '' Outcomes ( edit ) Francis Fukuyama considers the social and cultural consequences of deindustrialization and manufacturing decline that turned a former thriving Factory Belt into a Rust Belt as a part of a bigger transitional trend that he called the Great Disruption : `` People associate the information age with the advent of the Internet , in the 1990s but the shift from the industrial era started more than a generation earlier , with the deindustrialization of the Rust Belt in the United States and comparable movements away from manufacturing in other industrialized countries. ... The decline is readily measurable in statistics on crime , fatherless children , broken trust , reduced opportunities for and outcomes from education , and the like '' . Problems associated with the Rust Belt persist even today , particularly around the eastern Great Lakes states , and many once - booming manufacturing metropolises dramatically slowed down . From 1970 to 2006 , Cleveland , Detroit , Buffalo , and Pittsburgh lost about 45 % of their population and median household incomes fell : in Cleveland and Detroit by about 30 percent , in Buffalo by 20 percent , and Pittsburgh by 10 percent . It seemed that during the mid-1990s in several Rust Belt metro areas the negative growth was suspended as indicated by major statistical indicators : unemployment , wages , population change . However , during the first decade of the 21st century , a negative trend persisted : Detroit lost 25.7 % of its population ; Gary , Indiana -- 22 % ; Youngstown , Ohio -- 18.9 % ; Flint , Michigan -- 18.7 % ; and Cleveland , Ohio -- 14.5 % .

Though the blast furnaces themselves remain intact , part of the property was sold in 2007 and turned into the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem . The Huber Breaker ( in Ashley , Pennsylvania ) was one of the largest anthracite coal breakers in North America .

Together with the neighboring Golden Horseshoe of Southern Ontario , Canada , the so - called Rust Belt still composes one of the world 's major manufacturing regions . Transformation ( edit ) Since the 1980s , presidential candidates have devoted much of their time to the economic concerns of the Rust Belt region , which contains the populous swing states of Pennsylvania , Ohio , and Michigan . Those states were also critical and decisive to Donald Trump 's victory in the 2016 US Presidential Election . Different strategies were proposed in order to reverse the fortunes of the former Factory Belt including building casinos and convention centers , retaining the so - called `` creative class '' through arts and downtown renewal , encouraging the `` knowledge '' economy type of entrepreneurship , etc . Lately , analysts suggested that industrial comeback might be the actual path for the future resurgence of the region . That includes growing new industrial base with a pool of skilled labor , rebuilding the infrastructure and infrasystems , creating R&D university - business partnerships , and close cooperation between central , state and local government and business . New types of R&D - intensive nontraditional manufacturing have emerged recently in Rust Belt , such as biotechnology , the polymer industry , infotech , and nanotech . Infotech in particular creates a promising venue for the Rust Belt 's revitalization . Among the successful recent examples is the Detroit Aircraft Corporation , which specializes in unmanned aerial systems integration , testing and aerial cinematography services . In Pittsburgh , robotics research centres and companies such as National Robotics Engineering Center and Robotics Institute , Aethon Inc. , American Robot Corporation , Automatika , Quantapoint , Blue Belt Technologies and Seegrid are creating state - of - the - art robotic technology applications . Akron , a former `` Rubber Capital of the World '' that lost 35,000 jobs after major tire and rubber manufacturers Goodrich , Firestone and General Tire closed their production lines , is now again well known around the world as a centre of polymer research with four hundred polymer - related manufacturing and distribution companies operating in the area . The turnaround was accomplished in part due to a partnership between Goodyear Tire & Rubber , which chose to stay , the University of Akron and the city mayor 's office . The Akron Global Business Accelerator that jump - started a score of successful business ventures in Akron resides in the refurbished B.F. Goodrich tire factory . Additive manufacturing , or 3D printing , creates another promising venue for the manufacturing resurgence . Such innovative companies , as MakerGear from Beachwood , Ohio , or ExOne Company from North Huntingdon , PA , are designing and manufacturing industrial and consumer products using 3 - D imaging systems . Not long ago , the London - based Economist pointed towards a growing trend of reshoring , or inshoring , of manufacture when a growing number of American companies are moving their production facilities from overseas back home . Rustbelt states can ultimately benefit from this process of an international insourcing . However , automation has led to the types of manufacturing that requires fewer workers even with advanced skills . That is why job gains in manufacture in Rust Belt have not been nearly enough to keep pace with lay - offs . As a result , middle class incomes and savings in the Rustbelt states continue to be negatively impacted . Delving into the past and musing on the future of Rustbelt states , the Brookings Institution report suggests that the Great Lakes region has a sizable potential for transformation , citing already existing global trade networks , clean energy / low carbon capacity , developed innovation infrastructure and higher educational network .

"The flourishing of industrial manufacturing in the region was caused in part by the close proximity to the Great Lakes waterways, and abundance of paved roads, water canals and railroads. After the transportation infrastructure linked the iron ore found in northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan with the coal mined from Appalachian Mountains, the Steel Belt was born. Soon it developed into the Factory Belt with its great American manufacturing cities: Chicago, Buffalo, Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Toledo, Cleveland, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh among others. This region for decades served as a magnet for immigrants from Austria-Hungary, Poland and Russia who provided the industrial facilities with inexpensive labor.[7]",

As of 21 March 2015 , there are 55 judges in the High Court , comprising 45 permanent and 10 additional judges . Past judges include Jagdish Singh Khehar , who was elevated to the Supreme Court of India . The court building is known as the Palace of Justice . Designed by Le Corbusier , it and several of his other works were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in July 2016 . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Current Judges 3 See also 4 References History ( edit ) Punjab and Haryana High Court was formerly known as Lahore High Court , which was established on 21 March 1919 . The jurisdiction of that court covered undivided Punjab and Delhi . From 1920 to 1943 , the Court was conferred with extraterritorial jurisdiction over that part of China that formed part of the British consular district of Kashgar , which had previously been under the jurisdiction of the British Supreme Court for China . This ceased upon the ratification of the British - Chinese Treaty for the Relinquishment of Extra-Territorial Rights in China . Following the independence of India on 15 August 1947 , a separate High Court of Punjab was created , based at Shimla . This had jurisdiction over Indian Punjab , Delhi and what are now Himachal Pradesh and Haryana . From 17 January 1955 , the Court was moved to its present location in Chandigarh . The creation of Himachal Pradesh on 15 August 1948 led to a separate Court of Judicial Commissioner ( similar to a High Court ) being established for that state and thus the jurisdiction of the Punjab court was reduced . A separate High Court was constituted for the Union Territory of Delhi under the Delhi High Court Act , 1966 . Three Judges of the Punjab High Court were transferred to the Delhi High Court , which was constituted on 31 October 1966 . The States Reorganisation Act , 1956 paved the way for the formation of Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh from 1 November 1966 . Those formations also saw the renaming of the High Court of Punjab as the High Court of Punjab and Haryana . The Judges of the High Court of Punjab became Judges of the common High Court with all the powers and jurisdiction of the High Court of Punjab . However , the principal seat of the High Court remained at Chandigarh . The High Court of Punjab and Haryana has operated since 1 November 1966 in its present form .

646315531998070144 | Seniority in the United States Senate | Seniority in the United States Senate - wikipedia Seniority in the United States Senate This article is part of a series on the United States Senate History of the United States Senate Members Current members ( by seniority by class ) Former members Hill committees ( DSCC NRSC ) United States Vice President ( list ) President pro tempore ( list ) Presiding officer Party leaders Party leadership of the United States Senate Democratic Caucus Republican Conference Politics and procedure Advice and consent Blue slip Closed session ( list ) Cloture Committees ( list ) Executive session Morning business Filibuster Nuclear option Recess appointment Quorum Quorum call Salaries Saxbe fix Seal Holds Senatorial courtesy Standing Rules Traditions Unanimous consent Vice Presidents ' tie - breaking votes Places United States Capitol Senate chamber Senate Reception Room Senate office buildings ( Dirksen Hart Russell ) Seniority in the United States Senate is valuable as it confers a number of benefits and is based on length of continuous service , with ties broken by a series of factors . Customarily , the terms `` senior senator '' and `` junior senator '' are used to distinguish the two senators representing a particular state . Contents ( hide ) 1 Benefits of seniority 2 Determining the beginning of a term 3 Determining length of seniority 4 Current seniority list 5 See also 6 Notes 7 References Benefits of seniority ( edit ) The United States Constitution does not mandate differences in rights or power , but Senate rules give more power to senators with more seniority . Generally , senior senators will have more power , especially within their own caucuses . In addition , by custom , senior senators from the president 's party control federal patronage appointments in their states . The president pro tempore of the Senate is traditionally the most senior member of the majority party . There are several benefits , including the following : Senators are given preferential treatment in choosing committee assignments based on seniority . Seniority on a committee is based on length of time serving on that committee , which means a senator may rank above another in committee seniority but be more junior in the full Senate . Although the committee chairmanship is an elected position , it is traditionally given to the most senior senator of the majority party serving on the committee , and not already holding a conflicting position such as chairmanship of another committee . The ranking member of a committee ( called the vice-chairman in some select committees ) is elected in the same way . Greater seniority enables a senator to choose a desk closer to the front of the Senate Chamber . Senators with higher seniority may choose to move into better office space as those offices are vacated . Seniority determines the ranking in the United States order of precedence although other factors , such as being a former President or First Spouse , can place an individual higher in the order of precedence . Determining the beginning of a term ( edit ) The beginning of an appointment does not necessarily coincide with the date the Senate convenes or when the new Senator is sworn in . In the case of Senators first elected in a general election for the upcoming Congress , their terms begin on the first day of the new Congress . Since 1935 , that means January 3 of odd - numbered years . The seniority date for an appointed senator is usually the date of the appointment , although the actual term does not begin until they take the oath of office . An incoming Senator who holds another office , including membership in the U.S. House of Representatives , must resign from that office before becoming a Senator . Determining length of seniority ( edit ) A senator 's seniority is primarily determined by length of continuous service ; for example , a senator who has served for 12 years is more senior than one who has served for 10 years . Because several new senators usually join at the beginning of a new Congress , seniority is determined by prior federal or state government service and , if necessary , the amount of time spent in the tiebreaking office . These tiebreakers in order are : Former Senator Former Vice President Former House member Former Cabinet secretary Former state Governor Population of state based on the most recent census when the senator took office Alphabetical by last name ( in case two senators came from the same state on the same day and have identical credentials ) When more than one senator has served in the same previous role , length of time in that prior office is used to break the tie . For instance , Ben Cardin , Bernie Sanders , Sherrod Brown , Bob Casey , Bob Corker , Claire McCaskill , Amy Klobuchar , Sheldon Whitehouse and Jon Tester took office on January 3 , 2007 , and the first three senators mentioned had previously served in the House of Representatives . Cardin , having served 20 years , is more senior than Sanders , who served 16 years , who in turn is more senior than Brown who served 14 years . Casey , Corker , McCaskill , Klobuchar , Whitehouse , and Tester rank in that order because as of the 2000 census , Pennsylvania , Tennessee , Missouri , Minnesota , Rhode Island , and Montana had populations that ranked in that order , so Tester was ranked 100th in seniority when the 110th Congress convened .

The agreement came into force on January 1 , 1994 . It superseded the Canada -- United States Free Trade Agreement between the U.S. and Canada . NAFTA has two supplements : the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation ( NAAEC ) and the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation ( NAALC ) . Most economic analyses indicate that NAFTA has been beneficial to the North American economies and the average citizen , but harmed a small minority of workers in industries exposed to trade competition . Economists hold that withdrawing from NAFTA or renegotiating NAFTA in a way that reestablishes trade barriers will adversely affect the U.S. economy and cost jobs . However , Mexico would be much more severely affected by job loss and reduction of economic growth in both the short term and long term .

Bush , and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney , at the initialing of the draft North American Free Trade Agreement in October 1992 . In front are Mexican Secretary of Commerce and Industrial Development Jaime Serra Puche , United States Trade Representative Carla Hills , and Canadian Minister of International Trade Michael Wilson . The impetus for a North American free trade zone began with U.S. President Ronald Reagan , who made the idea part of his campaign when he announced his candidacy for the presidency in November 1979 . Canada and the United States signed the Canada - United States Free Trade Agreement ( FTA ) in 1988 , and shortly afterward Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari decided to approach US president George H.W. Bush to propose a similar agreement in an effort to bring in foreign investment following the Latin American debt crisis . As the two leaders began negotiating , the Canadian government under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney feared that the advantages Canada had gained through the Canada - US FTA would be undermined by a US - Mexican bilateral agreement , and asked to become a party to the US - Mexican talks . Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1990 among the three nations , the three leaders signed the agreement in their respective capitals on December 17 , 1992 . The signed agreement then needed to be ratified by each nation 's legislative or parliamentary branch . The earlier Canada -- United States Free Trade Agreement had been controversial and divisive in Canada , and featured as an issue in the 1988 Canadian election . In that election , more Canadians voted for anti-free trade parties ( the Liberals and the New Democrats ) but the split of the votes between the two parties meant that the pro-free trade Progressive Conservatives ( PCs ) came out of the election with the most seats and so took power . Mulroney and the PCs had a parliamentary majority easily passed the 1987 Canada - U.S. FTA and NAFTA bills . However , Mulroney was replaced as Conservative leader and prime minister by Kim Campbell . Campbell led the PC party into the 1993 election where they were decimated by the Liberal Party under Jean Chrétien , who campaigned on a promise to renegotiate or abrogate NAFTA . Chrétien subsequently negotiated two supplemental agreements with Bush , who had subverted the LAC advisory process and worked to `` fast track '' the signing prior to the end of his term , ran out of time and had to pass the required ratification and signing of the implementation law to incoming president Bill Clinton . Before sending it to the United States Senate Clinton added two side agreements , the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation ( NAALC ) and the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation ( NAAEC ) , to protect workers and the environment , and also allay the concerns of many House members . They also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own . After much consideration and emotional discussion , the US House of Representatives passed the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act on November 17 , 1993 , 234 -- 200 . The agreement 's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats . The bill passed the Senate on November 20 , 1993 , 61 -- 38 . Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats . Clinton signed it into law on December 8 , 1993 ; the agreement went into effect on January 1 , 1994 . Clinton , while signing the NAFTA bill , stated that `` NAFTA means jobs . American jobs , and good - paying American jobs . If I did n't believe that , I would n't support this agreement . '' NAFTA then replaced the previous Canada - US FTA . This section needs expansion .

Provisions The goal of NAFTA was to eliminate barriers to trade and investment between the U.S. , Canada and Mexico . The implementation of NAFTA on January 1 , 1994 brought the immediate elimination of tariffs on more than one - half of Mexico 's exports to the U.S. and more than one - third of U.S. exports to Mexico . Within 10 years of the implementation of the agreement , all U.S. - Mexico tariffs were to be eliminated except for some U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico to be phased out within 15 years . Most U.S. - Canada trade was already duty - free . NAFTA also sought to eliminate non-tariff trade barriers and to protect the intellectual property rights on traded products . Chapter 52 provides a procedure for the international resolution of disputes over the application and interpretation of NAFTA . It was modeled after Chapter 69 of the Canada - United States Free Trade Agreement . The roster of NAFTA adjudicators includes many retired judges , such as Alice Desjardins , John Maxwell Evans , Constance Hunt , John Richard , Arlin M. Adams , Susan Getzendanner , George C. Pratt , Charles B. Renfrew and Sandra Day O'Connor . The NAFTA is , in part , implemented by Technical Working Groups , which are composed of government officials from each of the three partners . Intellectual property The North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act made some changes to the copyright law of the United States , foreshadowing the Uruguay Round Agreements Act of 1994 by restoring copyright ( within the NAFTA nations ) on certain motion pictures which had entered the public domain . Environment U.S. congressional approval for NAFTA would have been impossible without addressing public concerns about NAFTA 's environmental impact . The Clinton administration negotiated a side agreement on the environment with Canada and Mexico , the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation ( NAAEC ) , which led to the creation of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation ( CEC ) in 1994 . To alleviate concerns that NAFTA , the first regional trade agreement between a developing country and two developed countries , would have negative environmental impacts , the commission was mandated to conduct ongoing ex post environmental assessment , It created one of the first ex post frameworks for environmental assessment of trade liberalization , designed to produce a body of evidence with respect to the initial hypotheses about NAFTA and the environment , such as the concern that NAFTA would create a `` race to the bottom '' in environmental regulation among the three countries , or that NAFTA would pressure governments to increase their environmental protections . The CEC has held four symposia to evaluate the environmental impacts of NAFTA and commissioned 47 papers on the subject from leading independent experts . Agriculture From the earliest negotiation , agriculture was ( and still is ) a controversial topic within NAFTA , as it has been with almost all free trade agreements signed within the WTO framework . Agriculture is the only section that was not negotiated trilaterally ; instead , three separate agreements were signed between each pair of parties . The Canada -- U.S. agreement contains significant restrictions and tariff quotas on agricultural products ( mainly sugar , dairy , and poultry products ) , whereas the Mexico -- U.S. pact allows for a wider liberalization within a framework of phase - out periods ( it was the first North -- South FTA on agriculture to be signed ) . Transportation infrastructure NAFTA established the CANAMEX Corridor for road transport between Canada and Mexico , also proposed for use by rail , pipeline , and fiber optic telecommunications infrastructure . This became a High Priority Corridor under the U.S. Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 . Impact Obama , Peña Nieto and Harper at the IX North American Leaders ' Summit ( informally known as the Three Amigos Summit ) in Toluca . Canada In the year 2008 alone , Canadian exports to the United States and Mexico were at $381.3 billion , with imports at $245.1 billion. . According to University of Toronto economist Daniel Trefler , NAFTA produced a significant net benefit to Canada , with long - term productivity increasing by up to 15 percent in industries that experienced the deepest tariff cuts . While the contraction of low - productivity plants reduced employment ( up to 12 percent of existing positions ) , these job losses lasted less than a decade ; overall , unemployment in Canada has fallen since the passage of the act . Commenting on this trade - off , Trefler said that the critical question in trade policy is to understand `` how freer trade can be implemented in an industrialized economy in a way that recognizes both the long - run gains and the short - term adjustment costs borne by workers and others . '' Another of NAFTA 's biggest economic effects on U.S. - Canada trade has been higher bilateral agricultural flows . A study in 2007 found that NAFTA had `` a substantial impact on international trade volumes , but a modest effect on prices and welfare '' . A 2015 study that focused on the impact of NAFTA 's tariff reductions found that while intra-bloc trade increased by 41 % for the U.S. and 118 % for Mexico , it increased by a modest 11 % for Canada . Moreover , U.S. and Mexico benefited more from the tariff reductions component , with welfare increases of 0.08 % and 1.31 % , respectively , with Canada experiencing a decrease of 0.06 % . Mexico Main article : Effects of NAFTA on Mexico Maquiladoras ( Mexican assembly plants that take in imported components and produce goods for export ) have become the landmark of trade in Mexico . They moved to Mexico from the United States , hence the debate over the loss of American jobs . Income in the maquiladora sector has increased 15.5 % since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994 . Other sectors now benefit from the free trade agreement , and the share of exports to the US from non-border states has increased in the last five years while the share of exports from border states has decreased . This has allowed rapid growth in non-border metropolitan areas such as Toluca , León and Puebla ; all larger in population than Tijuana , Ciudad Juárez , and Reynosa . The overall effect of the Mexico -- U.S. agricultural agreement is disputed . Mexico did not invest in the infrastructure necessary for competition , such as efficient railroads and highways. This resulted in more difficult living conditions for the country 's poor . Mexico 's agricultural exports increased 9.4 percent annually between 1994 and 2001 , while imports increased by only 6.9 percent a year during the same period . One of the most affected agricultural sectors is the meat industry . Mexico went from a small player in the pre-1994 U.S. export market to the second largest importer of U.S. agricultural products in 2004 , and NAFTA may be a major catalyst for this change . Free trade removed the hurdles that impeded business between the two countries , so Mexico has provided a growing market for meat for the U.S. , and increased sales and profits for the U.S. meat industry . A coinciding noticeable increase in the Mexican per capita GDP greatly changed meat consumption patterns ; per capita meat consumption has grown . Production of corn in Mexico has increased since NAFTA . But internal demand for corn has increased beyond Mexico 's supply , and imports have become needed , far beyond the quotas Mexico originally negotiated . Zahniser & Coyle also point out that corn prices in Mexico , adjusted for international prices , have drastically decreased , but through a program of subsidies expanded by former president Vicente Fox , production has remained stable since 2000 . Reducing agricultural subsidies , especially corn subsidies , has been suggested as a way to reduce harm to Mexican farmers . A 2001 Journal of Economic Perspectives review of the existing literature found that NAFTA was a net benefit to Mexico . By the year 2003 , 80 % of the commerce in Mexico was executed only with the U.S. The commercial sales surplus , combined with the deficit with the rest of the world , created a dependency in Mexico 's exports . These effects were evident in 2001 -- 2003 ; the result of that recession was either a low rate or a negative rate in Mexico 's exports . A 2015 study found that Mexico 's welfare increased by 1.31 % as a result of the NAFTA tariff reductions , and that Mexico 's intra-bloc trade increased by 118 % . Inequality and poverty fell in the most globalization - affected regions of Mexico . 2013 and 2015 studies show that Mexican small farmers benefitted more from NAFTA than large - scale farmers . NAFTA has also been credited with the rise of the Mexican middle class . A Tufts University study found that NAFTA lowered the average cost of basic necessities in Mexico by up to 50 % . This price reduction increased cash - on - hand for many Mexican families , allowing Mexico to graduate more engineers than Germany each year . Growth in new sales orders indicates an increase in demand for manufactured products , which resulted in expansion of production and a higher employment rate to satisfy the increment in the demand . The growth in the maquiladora industry and in the manufacturing industry was of 4.7 % in August 2016 . Three quarters of the imports and exports comes are with the U.S. Tufts University political scientist Daniel W. Drezner has argued that NAFTA made it easier for Mexico to transform to a real democracy and become a country that views itself as North American . This has boosted cooperation between the United States and Mexico . United States Economists consider that NAFTA was beneficial for the United States . In a 2012 survey of leading economists , 95 % said that on average U.S. citizens benefited from NAFTA . A 2001 Journal of Economic Perspectives review found that NAFTA was a net benefit to the United States . A 2015 study found that US welfare increased by 0.08 % as a result of NAFTA tariff reductions , and that US intra-bloc trade increased by 41 % . In 2015 , the Congressional Research Service concluded that the `` net overall effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy appears to have been relatively modest , primarily because trade with Canada and Mexico accounts for a small percentage of U.S. GDP . However , there were worker and firm adjustment costs as the three countries adjusted to more open trade and investment among their economies . '' The report also estimated that NAFTA added $80 billion to the US economy since its implementation , equivalent to a 0.5 % increase in US GDP . The U.S. Chamber of Commerce credits NAFTA with increasing U.S. trade in goods and services with Canada and Mexico from $337 billion in 1993 to $1.2 trillion in 2011 , while the AFL - CIO blames the agreement for sending 700,000 American manufacturing jobs to Mexico over that time . University of California , San Diego economics professor Gordon Hanson has said that NAFTA helped the U.S. compete against China and therefore saved U.S. jobs . While some jobs were lost to Mexico as a result of NAFTA , considerably more would have been lost to China if not for NAFTA . Trade balances The U.S. had a trade surplus with NAFTA countries of $28.3 billion for services in 2009 and a trade deficit of $94.6 billion ( 36.4 % annual increase ) for goods in 2010 . This trade deficit accounted for 26.8 percent of all U.S. goods trade deficit . A study published in the August 2008 issue of the American Journal of Agricultural Economics , found NAFTA increased U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico and Canada , even though most of the increase occurred a decade after its ratification . The study focused on the effects that gradual `` phase - in '' periods in regional trade agreements , including NAFTA , have on trade flows . Most of the increase in members ' agricultural trade , which was only recently brought under the purview of the World Trade Organization , was due to very high trade barriers before NAFTA or other regional trade agreements . Investment The U.S. foreign direct investment ( FDI ) in NAFTA countries ( stock ) was $327.5 billion in 2009 ( latest data available ) , up 8.8 % from 2008 . The U.S. direct investment in NAFTA countries is in nonbank holding companies , and in the manufacturing , finance / insurance , and mining sectors . The foreign direct investment of Canada and Mexico in the United States ( stock ) was $237.2 billion in 2009 ( the latest data available ) , up 16.5 % from 2008 . Economy and jobs Main article : NAFTA 's effect on United States employment The economic impacts of NAFTA on the U.S. economy have been modest . In a 2015 report , the Congressional Research Service summarized multiple studies as follows : `` In reality , NAFTA did not cause the huge job losses feared by the critics or the large economic gains predicted by supporters . The net overall effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy appears to have been relatively modest , primarily because trade with Canada and Mexico accounts for a small percentage of U.S. GDP . However , there were worker and firm adjustment costs as the three countries adjusted to more open trade and investment among their economies . '' Many American small businesses depend on exporting their products to Canada or Mexico under NAFTA . According to the U.S. Trade Representative , this trade supports over 140,000 small - and medium - sized businesses in the US . According to the Economic Policy Institute , California , Texas , Michigan and other states with high concentrations of manufacturing jobs were most affected by job loss due to NAFTA . EPI economist Robert Scott estimates some 682,900 U.S. jobs have been `` lost or displaced '' as a result of the trade agreement . However , other studies have found that NAFTA only had a modest impact on manufacturing employment , and that automation explains 87 % of the losses in manufacturing jobs . According to University of California Berkeley professor of economics Brad DeLong , NAFTA had an insignificant impact on US manufacturing . The adverse impact on manufacturing has been very exaggerated in US political discourse according to DeLong , Harvard economist Dani Rodrik agrees . Environment Main article : NAFTA 's Impact on the Environment According to a study in the Journal of International Economics , NAFTA reduced pollution emitted by the US manufacturing sector : `` On average , nearly two - thirds of the reductions in PM and SO emissions from the U.S. manufacturing sector between 1994 and 1998 can be attributed to trade liberalization following NAFTA . '' According to the Sierra Club , NAFTA contributed to large - scale , export - oriented farming , which led to the increased use of fossil fuels , pesticides and GMO . NAFTA also contributed to environmentally destructive mining practices in Mexico . It prevented Canada from effectively regulating its tar sands industry , and created new legal avenues for transnational corporations to fight environmental legislation . In some cases , environmental policy was neglected in the wake of trade liberalization ; in other cases , NAFTA 's measures for investment protection , such as Chapter 11 , and measures against non-tariff trade barriers threatened to discourage more vigorous environmental policy . The most serious overall increases in pollution due to NAFTA were found in the base metals sector , the Mexican petroleum sector , and the transportation equipment sector in the United States and Mexico , but not in Canada . Mobility of persons According to the Department of Homeland Security Yearbook of Immigration Statistics , during fiscal year 2006 ( i.e. , October 2005 through September 2006 ) , 73,880 foreign professionals ( 64,633 Canadians and 9,247 Mexicans ) were admitted into the United States for temporary employment under NAFTA ( i.e. , in the TN status ) . Additionally , 17,321 of their family members ( 13,136 Canadians , 2,904 Mexicans , as well as a number of third - country nationals married to Canadians and Mexicans ) entered the U.S. in the treaty national 's dependent ( TD ) status . Because DHS counts the number of the new I - 94 arrival records filled at the border , and the TN - 1 admission is valid for three years , the number of non-immigrants in TN status present in the U.S. at the end of the fiscal year is approximately equal to the number of admissions during the year . ( A discrepancy may be caused by some TN entrants leaving the country or changing status before their three - year admission period has expired , while other immigrants admitted earlier may change their status to TN or TD , or extend TN status granted earlier ) . According to the International Organization for Migration , deaths of migrants have been on the rise worldwide with 5,604 deaths in 2016 . An increased number of undocumented farmworkers in California may be due to the initial passing of NAFTA Canadian authorities estimated that on December 1 , 2006 , 24,830 U.S. citizens and 15,219 Mexican citizens were in Canada as `` foreign workers '' . These numbers include both entrants under NAFTA and those who entered under other provisions of Canadian immigration law . New entries of foreign workers in 2006 totalled 16,841 U.S. citizens and 13,933 Mexicans . Disputes and controversies 1992 U.S. presidential candidate Ross Perot In the second 1992 presidential debate , Ross Perot argued : We have got to stop sending jobs overseas . It 's pretty simple : If you 're paying $12 , $13 , $14 an hour for factory workers and you can move your factory south of the border , pay a dollar an hour for labor , ... have no health care -- that 's the most expensive single element in making a car -- have no environmental controls , no pollution controls and no retirement , and you do n't care about anything but making money , there will be a giant sucking sound going south . ... when ( Mexico 's ) jobs come up from a dollar an hour to six dollars an hour , and ours go down to six dollars an hour , and then it 's leveled again . But in the meantime , you 've wrecked the country with these kinds of deals . Perot ultimately lost the election , and the winner , Bill Clinton , supported NAFTA , which went into effect on January 1 , 1994 . Legal disputes This article needs to be updated . Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information . ( August 2009 ) In 1996 , the gasoline additive MMT was brought to Canada by Ethyl Corporation , an American company when the Canadian federal government banned imports of the additive . The American company brought a claim under NAFTA Chapter 11 seeking US $201 million , from the Canadian federal government as well as the Canadian provinces under the Agreement on Internal Trade ( AIT ) . They argued that the additive had not been conclusively linked to any health dangers , and that the prohibition was damaging to their company . Following a finding that the ban was a violation of the AIT , the Canadian federal government repealed the ban and settled with the American company for US $13 million . Studies by Health and Welfare Canada ( now Health Canada ) on the health effects of MMT in fuel found no significant health effects associated with exposure to these exhaust emissions . Other Canadian researchers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disagreed citing studies that suggested possible nerve damage . The United States and Canada have argued for years over the United States ' 27 % duty on Canadian softwood lumber imports . Canada filed many motions to have the duty eliminated and the collected duties returned to Canada . After the United States lost an appeal before a NAFTA panel , it responded by saying `` We are , of course , disappointed with the ( NAFTA panel 's ) decision , but it will have no impact on the anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders . '' ( Nick Lifton , spokesman for U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman ) On July 21 , 2006 , the United States Court of International Trade found that imposition of the duties was contrary to U.S. law . Change in income trust taxation not expropriation On October 30 , 2007 , American citizens Marvin and Elaine Gottlieb filed a Notice of Intent to Submit a Claim to Arbitration under NAFTA , claiming thousands of U.S. investors lost a total of $5 billion in the fall - out from the Conservative Government 's decision the previous year to change the tax rate on income trusts in the energy sector . On April 29 , 2009 , a determination was made that this change in tax law was not expropriation . Impact on Mexican farmers Several studies have rejected NAFTA responsibility for depressing the incomes of poor corn farmers . The trend existed more than a decade before NAFTA existed . Also , maize production increased after 1994 , and there was n't a measurable impact on the price of Mexican corn because of subsidized corn from the United States . The studies agreed that the abolition of U.S. agricultural subsidies would benefit Mexican farmers . Zapatista uprising in response to NAFTA in chiapas , Mexico Further information : Zapatista Army of National Liberation Preparations for NAFTA included cancellation of Article 27 of Mexico 's constitution , the cornerstone of Emiliano Zapata 's revolution in 1910 -- 1919 . Under the historic Article 27 , Indian communal landholdings were protected from sale or privatization . However , this barrier to investment was incompatible with NAFTA . Indian farmers feared the loss of their remaining lands , and also feared cheap imports ( substitutes ) from the US . The Zapatistas labelled NAFTA a `` death sentence '' to Indian communities all over Mexico . Then EZLN declared war on the Mexican state on January 1 , 1994 , the day NAFTA came into force . Chapter 11 Another contentious issue is the investor state dispute settlement obligations contained in Chapter 11 of NAFTA . Chapter 11 allows corporations or individuals to sue Mexico , Canada or the United States for compensation when actions taken by those governments ( or by those for whom they are responsible at international law , such as provincial , state , or municipal governments ) violate international law . This chapter has been criticized by groups in the U.S. , Mexico , and Canada for a variety of reasons , including not taking into account important social and environmental considerations . In Canada , several groups , including the Council of Canadians , challenged the constitutionality of Chapter 11 . They lost at the trial level and have subsequently appealed . Methanex Corporation , a Canadian corporation , filed a US $ 970 million suit against the United States because , it said , a California ban on Methyl tert - butyl ether ( MTBE ) , a substance that had found its way into many wells in the state , was hurtful to the corporation 's sales of methanol . The claim was rejected , and the company was ordered to pay US $3 million to the U.S. government in costs , based on the following reasoning : `` But as a matter of general international law , a non-discriminatory regulation for a public purpose , which is enacted in accordance with due process and , which affects , inter alios , a foreign investor or investment is not deemed expropriatory and compensable unless specific commitments had been given by the regulating government to the then putative foreign investor contemplating investment that the government would refrain from such regulation . '' In another case , Metalclad , an American corporation , was awarded US $15.6 million from Mexico after a Mexican municipality refused a construction permit for the hazardous waste landfill it intended to construct in Guadalcázar , San Luis Potosí . The construction had already been approved by the federal government with various environmental requirements imposed ( see paragraph 48 of the tribunal decision ) . The NAFTA panel found that the municipality did not have the authority to ban construction on the basis of its environmental concerns . In Eli Lilly and Company v. Government of Canada the plaintiff presented a US $500 million claim for the way Canada requires usefulness in its drug patent legislation . Apotex is sued the U.S. for US $520 million because of opportunity it says it lost in an FDA generic drug decision . Lone Pine Resources Inc. v. Government of Canada filed a US $250 million claim against Canada , accusing it of `` arbitrary , capricious and illegal '' behaviour , because Quebec intends to prevent fracking exploration under the St. Lawrence Seaway . Milos Barutciski , the lawyer for Lone Pine , has decried portrayals of his client as `` another rapacious multinational challenging governments ' ability to regulate for health , safety and the environment '' . Lone Pine Resources is incorporated in Delaware but headquartered in Calgary , and had an initial public offering on the NYSE May 25 , 2011 of 15 million shares each for $13 , which raised US $195 million . Barutciski acknowledged `` that NAFTA and other investor - protection treaties create an anomaly in that Canadian companies that have also seen their permits rescinded by the very same Quebec legislation , which expressly forbids the paying of compensation , do not have the right ( to ) pursue a NAFTA claim , '' and that winning `` compensation in Canadian courts for domestic companies in this case would be more difficult since the Constitution puts property rights in provincial hands . '' A treaty with China would extend similar rights to Chinese investors , including SOEs . Chapter 19 Also contentious is NAFTA 's Chapter 19 , which subjects antidumping and countervailing duty ( AD / CVD ) determinations to binational panel review instead of , or in addition to , conventional judicial review . For example , in the United States , review of agency decisions imposing antidumping and countervailing duties are normally heard before the U.S. Court of International Trade , an Article III court . NAFTA parties , however , have the option of appealing the decisions to binational panels composed of five citizens from the two relevant NAFTA countries . The panelists are generally lawyers experienced in international trade law . Since NAFTA does not include substantive provisions concerning AD / CVD , the panel is charged with determining whether final agency determinations involving AD / CVD conform with the country 's domestic law . Chapter 19 is an anomaly in international dispute settlement since it does not apply international law , but requires a panel composed of individuals from many countries to re-examine the application of one country 's domestic law . A Chapter 19 panel is expected to examine whether the agency 's determination is supported by `` substantial evidence '' . This standard assumes significant deference to the domestic agency . Some of the most controversial trade disputes in recent years , such as the U.S. -- Canada softwood lumber dispute , have been litigated before Chapter 19 panels . Decisions by Chapter 19 panels can be challenged before a NAFTA extraordinary challenge committee . However , an extraordinary challenge committee does not function as an ordinary appeal . Under NAFTA , it will only vacate or remand a decision if the decision involves a significant and material error that threatens the integrity of the NAFTA dispute settlement system . Since January 2006 , no NAFTA party has successfully challenged a Chapter 19 panel 's decision before an extraordinary challenge committee . Criticism from 2016 U.S. presidential candidates In a 60 Minutes interview in September 2015 , American 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump called NAFTA calling it `` the single worst trade deal ever approved in ( the United States ) '' , and said that if elected , he would `` either renegotiate it , or we will break it '' . Juan Pablo Castañón ( es ) president of the trade group Consejo Coordinador Empresarial , expressed concern about renegotiation and the willingness to focus on the car industry . A range of trade experts have said that pulling out of NAFTA would have a range of unintended consequences for the U.S. , including reduced access to the its biggest export markets , a reduction in economic growth , and higher prices for gasoline , cars , fruits , and vegetables . Members of the private initiative in Mexico noted that to eliminate NAFTA , many laws must be adapted by the U.S. Congress . The move would also eventually result in legal complaints by the World Trade Organization . The Washington Post noted that a Congressional Research Service review of academic literature concluded that the `` net overall effect of NAFTA on the U.S. economy appears to have been relatively modest , primarily because trade with Canada and Mexico accounts for a small percentage of U.S. GDP '' . Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders opposed the Trans - Pacific Partnership trade agreement , which he called `` a continuation of other disastrous trade agreements , like NAFTA , CAFTA , and permanent normal trade relations with China '' . He believes that free trade agreements have caused a loss of American jobs and depressed American wages . Sanders has said that America needs to rebuild its manufacturing base using American factories for well - paying jobs for American labor rather than outsourcing to China and elsewhere . Policy of the Trump administration Renegotiation Chrystia Freeland , Luis Videgaray Caso and Rex Tillerson in Mexico City in 2018 Shortly after his election , U.S. President Donald Trump said he would begin renegotiating the terms of NAFTA , to resolve trade issues he had campaigned on . The leaders of Canada and Mexico have indicated their willingness to work with the Trump administration . Although vague on the exact terms he seeks in a renegotiated NAFTA , Trump threatened to withdraw from it if negotiations fail . In July 2017 , the Trump administration provided a detailed list of changes that it would like to see to NAFTA . The top priority was a reduction in the United States ' trade deficit . The administration also called for the elimination of provisions that allowed Canada and Mexico to appeal duties imposed by the United States and limited the ability of the United States to impose import restrictions on Canada and Mexico . The list also alleged subsidized state - owned enterprises and currency manipulation . According to Chad Bown of the Peterson Institute for International Economics , the Trump administration 's list `` is very consistent with the president 's stance on liking trade barriers , liking protectionism . This makes NAFTA in many respects less of a free - trade agreement . '' The concerns expressed by the US Trade Representative over subsidized state - owned enterprises and currency manipulation are not thought to apply to Canada and Mexico , but rather to be designed to send a message to countries beyond North America . Jeffrey Schott of the Peterson Institute for International Economics noted that it would not be possible to conclude renegotiations quickly while also addressing all the concerns on the list . He also said that it would be difficult to do anything about trade deficits . An October 2017 op - ed in Toronto 's Globe and Mail questioned whether the United States wanted to re-negotiate the agreement or planned to walk away from it no matter what , noting that newly appointed American ambassador Kelly Knight Craft is married to the owner of Alliance Resource Partners , a big US coal operation . Canada is implementing a carbon plan , and there is also the matter of a sale of Bombardier jets . `` The Americans inserted so many poison pills into last week 's talks in Washington that they should have been charged with murder '' , wrote the columnist , John Ibbitson . `` A number of the proposals that the United States has put on the table have little or no support from the U.S. business and agriculture community . It is n't clear who they 're intended to benefit '' , said John Murphy , vice-president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce . Pat Roberts , the senior US senator from Kansas , called for an outcry against Trump anti-NAFTA moves , saying the `` issues affect real jobs , real lives and real people '' . Kansas is a major agricultural exporter , and farm groups warn that just threatening to leave NAFTA might cause buyers to minimize uncertainty by seeking out non-US sources . A fourth round of talks included a U.S. demand for a sunset clause that would end the agreement in five years , unless the three countries agreed to keep it in place , a provision U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has said would allow the countries to kill the deal if it was not working . Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with the House Ways and Means Committee , since Congress would have to pass legislation rolling back the treaty 's provisions if Trump tries to withdraw from the pact . Impact of withdrawing from NAFTA Following Donald Trump 's election to the presidency , a range of trade experts have said that pulling out of NAFTA as Trump proposed would have a range of unintended consequences for the U.S. , including reduced access to the U.S. 's biggest export markets , a reduction in economic growth , and increased prices for gasoline , cars , fruits , and vegetables . The worst affected sectors would be textiles , agriculture and automobiles . According to Tufts University political scientist Daniel W. Drezner , the Trump administration 's desire to return relations with Mexico to the pre-NAFTA era are misguided . Drezner argues that NAFTA made it easier for Mexico to transform to a real democracy and become a country that views itself as North American . If Trump acts on many of the threats that he has made against Mexico , it is not inconceivable that Mexicans would turn to left - wing populist strongmen , as several South American countries have . At the very least , US - Mexico relations would worsen , with adverse implications for cooperation on border security , counterterrorism , drug - war cooperation , deportations and managing Central American migration . According to Chad P. Bown ( senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics ) , `` a renegotiated NAFTA that would reestablish trade barriers is unlikely to help workers who lost their jobs -- regardless of the cause -- take advantage of new employment opportunities '' . According to Harvard economist Marc Melitz , `` recent research estimates that the repeal of NAFTA would not increase car production in the United States '' . Melitz notes that this would cost manufacturing jobs . Trans - Pacific Partnership If the Trans - Pacific Partnership ( TPP ) comes into effect , existing agreements such as NAFTA will be reduced to those provisions that do not conflict with the TPP , or that require greater trade liberalization than the TPP . However , only Canada and Mexico will have the prospect of becoming members of the TPP after U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the agreement in January 2017 . In May 2017 , the 11 remaining members of the TPP , including Canada and Mexico , agreed to proceed with the trade deal without U.S. participation . U.S. public opinion on NAFTA The American public is largely divided on its view of the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) , with a wide partisan gap in beliefs . In a February 2018 Gallup Poll , 48 % of Americans said NAFTA was good for the U.S. , while 46 % said it was bad . According to a journal from the Law and Business Review of the Americas ( LBRA ) , U.S. public opinion of NAFTA centers around three issues : NAFTA 's impact on the creation or destruction of American jobs , NAFTA 's impact on the environment , and NAFTA 's impact on immigrants entering the U.S. After President Trump 's election in 2016 , support for NAFTA has become very polarized between Republicans and Democrats . Donald Trump expressed negative views of NAFTA , calling it `` the single worst trade deal ever approved in this country . '' Republican support for NAFTA has decreased from 43 % support in 2008 to 34 % in 2017 . Meanwhile , Democrat support for NAFTA has increased from 41 % support in 2008 to 71 % in 2017 . The political gap is especially large in concern to views on free trade with Mexico . As opposed to a favorable view of free trade with Canada , whom 79 % of American describe as a fair trade partner , only 47 % of Americans believe Mexico practices fair trade . The gap widens between Democrats and Republicans : 60 % of Democrats believe Mexico is practicing fair trade , while only 28 % of Republicans do . This is the highest level from Democrats and the lowest level from Republicans ever recorded by the Chicago Council Survey . Republicans have more negative views of Canada as a fair trade partner than Democrats , as well . NAFTA has strong support from young Americans . In a February 2017 Gallup poll , 73 % of Americans aged 18 - 29 said NAFTA was good for the U.S , showing higher support than any other U.S. age group . It also has slightly stronger support from unemployed Americans than from employed Americans . The issue of NAFTA continues to remain a predominantly divisive issue .

"Before sending it to the United States Senate Clinton added two side agreements, the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC) and the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC), to protect workers and the environment, and also allay the concerns of many House members. They also required U.S. partners to adhere to environmental practices and regulations similar to its own.[citation needed] After much consideration and emotional discussion, the US House of Representatives passed the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act on November 17, 1993, 234–200. The agreement's supporters included 132 Republicans and 102 Democrats. The bill passed the Senate on November 20, 1993, 61–38.[21] Senate supporters were 34 Republicans and 27 Democrats. Clinton signed it into law on December 8, 1993; the agreement went into effect on January 1, 1994.[22][23] Clinton, while signing the NAFTA bill, stated that \"NAFTA means jobs. American jobs, and good-paying American jobs. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't support this agreement.\"[24] NAFTA then replaced the previous Canada-US FTA."

-703175437469889881 | Cancer survivor | Cancer survivor - wikipedia Cancer survivor Jump to : navigation , search A cancer survivor is a person with cancer of any type who is still living . Whether a person becomes a survivor at the time of diagnosis or after completing treatment , whether people who are actively dying are considered survivors , and whether healthy friends and family members of the cancer patient are also considered survivors , varies from group to group . Some people who have been diagnosed with cancer reject the term survivor or disagree with some definitions of it . How many people are cancer survivors depends on the definition used . Currently nearly 65 % of adults diagnosed with cancer in the developed world are expected to live at least five years after the cancer is discovered . In the U.S. for example , about 11 million Americans alive today -- one in 30 people -- are either currently undergoing treatment for cancer or have done so in the past . Many cancer survivors describe the process of living with and beating cancer as a life - changing experience . It is not uncommon for survivors to use the experience as opportunities for creative self - transformation into a `` better person '' or as motivation to meet goals of great personal importance , such as climbing a mountain or reconciling with an estranged family member . This process of posttraumatic growth is called benefit finding . Cancer survivors often have specific medical and non-medical needs related to their cancer experience .

The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship ( NCCS ) pioneered the definition of survivor as being any person diagnosed with cancer , from the time of initial diagnosis until his or her death . This expansive definition of `` survivor '' includes people who are dying from untreatable cancer . NCCS later expanded the definition of survivor even further to include family , friends and voluntary caregivers who are affected by the diagnosis in any way . The US National Cancer Institute 's Office of Cancer Survivorship uses a variant of this expanded definition . The word survivor is a loaded term . Within the breast cancer culture , survivorship is conferred upon women ( and men ) who are perceived as having suffered emotional or physical trauma , even if their breast cancer was a non-life - threatening pre-cancerous condition like LCIS or DCIS . The term tends to erase and degrade people who are dying of incurable cancer . This idea of survivorship emphasizes and values longevity of life after diagnosis , while overlooking issues of quality of life . Some people reject the term survivor as being a narrow conceptualization of highly variable human experiences . Alternatives include alivers and thrivers , which put emphasis on living as well as possible , despite limitations and disability . A third term , the diers , is used by some terminally ill patients who reject the claim that dying is part of survivorship or should be covered up with inappropriately optimistic language . The term previvor has been used to describe unaffected carriers . Unaffected carriers , or previvors , are those who have not diagnosed with cancer , but who know that they are likely to develop cancer due to certain genetic mutations that form a known cancer syndrome . They have a survived the predisposition , or higher risk , of cancer . As such , this is the first generation in human history who , armed with information about a predisposition to a cancer after opting into DNA testing , can make informed choices prior to cancer diagnosis . The typical previvor has tested positive for a BRCA mutation and learned that she is at high risk for developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer , and is attempting to manage that risk through a combination of increased surveillance through mammograms , breast MRIs , pelvic ultrasounds , oophorectomy , bilateral mastectomy , and other medical procedures . There has been much controversy over the term previvor , due to the fact that the name compares these healthy women to people have actually been diagnosed with invasive cancer . Needs of cancer survivors ( edit ) People who have finished cancer treatment often have psychological and physical medical challenges . These effects can vary from person to person , change over time , and range in intensity from mild and intermittent to fully disabling . They commonly include fatigue , pain , sleep problems , physical side effects like lymphoedema , weight gain , anxiety and depression , fear of cancer recurrence , and impaired quality of life . Psychosocial ( edit ) Returning to life ( edit ) If the treatment is lengthy and disruptive , many patients experience some difficulty in returning to normal daily life . The energy needed to cope with a rigorous treatment program may have caused them to disconnect from previous daily patterns , such as working , normal self - care , and housekeeping . A small number of patients become dependent on the attention and sympathy that they received during their treatment and feel neglected when life returns to normal . There are tremendous implications that cancer has on the relationships that survivors have with their loved ones ( particularly their partners ) once their cancer has been treated , and social support plays a critical role in their long - term emotional adjustment . Ongoing effects ( edit ) Some survivors , even if the cancer has been permanently cured , struggle emotionally from the trauma of having experienced a life - threatening disease . Cancer survivors suffer from more psychological distress than those who have never experienced cancer ( 5.6 % compared to 3.0 % ) Serious psychosocial distress was seen 40 % more among cancer survivors of five years or more than in those who have never had cancer . About 10 % develop major depressive disorder ; others experience an adjustment disorder . In young adult cancer survivors , one small study found that 20 % of participants met the full clinical diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) , and 45 % to 95 % displayed at least one symptom of PTSD . Survivors of adult cancer are at an increased risk of suicidal ideology ( having thoughts about suicide ) , while as many as 13 % of childhood cancer survivors experience suicidal ideology . Issues of pain and physical ailments have been hypothesized as major contributing factors in cancer survivors experiencing this suicidal ideology . Fear of cancer recurrence ( edit ) Patients whose cancer is in remission may still have to cope with the uncertainty that at any time their cancer could return without warning . After the initial treatment has ended , anxiety is more common among cancer survivors than among other people . This anxiety regarding the cancer 's return is referred to as fear of cancer recurrence . Many patients are anxious that any minor symptom indicates that the cancer has returned , with as many as 9 in 10 patients fearful that their cancer will recur or spread . In addition to the appearance of any new aches and pains , common triggers for a fear that the cancer may return include hearing that someone else has been diagnosed with cancer , annual medical exams to determine whether the cancer recurred and news stories about cancer . This anxiety leads to more medical check ups , which can be measured even after a period of up to ten years . This fear can have a significant impact on individual 's lives , resulting in difficulties in their daily life such as work and socialising , and difficulties planning for the future . Overall , fear of cancer recurrence is related to a reduced quality of life in cancer survivors While Fear of Cancer Recurrence ( FCR ) can be adaptive at low levels , high levels of FCR require psychological treatment . At present , there are no psychometrically sound measures of FCR , which makes research into the effectiveness of treatment protocols difficult to interpret . Treatments that are being investigated include : cognitive - behavioural therapy , Meta - cognitive therapy and Cognitive - existential group therapy and exercise . Survivorship ( edit ) The cultural ideal of a survivor may add to individual patients ' distress if the patient is unable or unwilling to live up to the ideal . The ideal survivor is bravely committed to mainstream medicine and optimistic or even certain of a physical cure . He or she is open about diagnosis and treatment and becomes an educated , empowered medical consumer . The ideal survivor , like a superwoman who simultaneously manages her home , family , and career , struggles valiantly to prevent cancer from affecting loved ones by appearing , behaving , and working as much as possible . Once the immediate crisis is past , the person may feel strongly pressured to donate time , money , and energy to cancer - related organizations . Above all , the ideal survivor does not die of cancer . People who publicly conform to this ideal are given social status and respect . Physical ( edit ) In terms of medical challenges , some survivors experience cancer - related fatigue , may have long - term side effects from cancer and its treatment , and may need extensive rehabilitation for mobility and function if aggressive surgery was required to remove the cancer . They may experience temporary or persistent post-chemotherapy cognitive impairment . Some young survivors lose their ability to have children . Cancer survivors frequently need medical monitoring , and some treatments for unrelated diseases in the future may be contraindicated . For example , a patient who has had a significant amount of radiation therapy may not be a good candidate for more radiation treatments in the future . To assist with these needs , `` survivor care plans '' have been promoted . These are personalized documents that describe the person 's diagnosis and treatment in detail , list common known side effects , and specifically outline the steps that the survivor should take in the future , ranging from maintaining a healthy weight to receiving specific medical tests on a stated schedule . Medical tests to determine whether the cancer has returned commonly provoke fears . Informally , this is called scanxiety , a portmanteau of scan and anxiety . A desire to avoid feeling this fear can prompt survivors to postpone or refuse tests . Survivors of childhood cancer have a life expectancy up to 28 % shorter than people in the general population . Therefore , there is a need to closely monitor these patients for much longer than usual . The Children 's Oncology Group recommends that monitoring should include periodic follow up and screening by a clinician familiar with these patients ' risks . Improving these patients ' longevity requires recognition and treatment of illnesses associated with late effects in the decades after therapy for childhood cancer . For example , survivors of childhood cancer may have more difficulty than typical with breastfeeding and require more support to undertake this health - promoting activity . Others experience various forms of heart disease . One challenge to achieving this goal is that childhood cancer survivors are both very adaptable and accustomed to denying difficulties ; as a result , they tend to minimize their symptoms . Therefore , internists may not give them all the attention they need and thus the actual help they may need . Symptom management , health promotion , specific attention to psychosocial needs , and surveillance for recurrence and specific late effects of treatment are helpful . Adolescent and young adult survivors ( edit ) Adolescent and young adult ( AYA ) survivors , often defined as being between the ages of 15 and 39 , have seen advancements in technology and modern medicine causing a dramatic increase in the number of AYA survivors . Prior to 1970 , being diagnosed with cancer during childhood was considered a universally fatal disease . From 1995 to 2000 , however , the 5 - year survival rate for children diagnosed with cancer was 80 % . Significant progress has been built in the last 25 years as there are now approximately 270,000 survivors of pediatric cancer in the U.S. , which translates to approximately 1 in every 640 young adults being a survivor of childhood cancer . However , as studies have shown , as patient needs increase , the likelihood of having an unmet need also increases . For the AYA population , 2 out of 3 childhood cancer survivors will develop 1 complication due to the therapy they received and 1 out of 3 will develop serious or life - threatening complications , meaning they will most likely need treatment and follow - up care . In addition , AYAs may experience greater difficulties adhering to treatment , which may negatively impact future outcomes . An AYA survivor faces a variety of issues as a result of their cancer diagnosis and treatment that are unique to their particular age group which differentiate their survivor population from the adult survivor population . For example , AYA survivors report that their education , employment , sexual functioning , marriage , fertility , and other life values are impacted by their cancer . Data show that AYA survivors have a much greater risk of getting a second primary malignancy as a side effect of the treatment for their original diagnosis . It is believed that AYAs have a much higher relative risk of developing a second primary cancer because the intensity of the treatment for their original diagnosis , typically including any combination of chemotherapy , surgery , and radiation , is much higher than the level of intensity given to patients over 40 . Furthermore , since AYA survivors are diagnosed and treated at such a young age , their length of time as a survivor is much longer than their adult counterparts , making it more likely they will face a second primary cancer in their lifetime . Barriers to quality long - term follow - up care ( edit ) Childhood cancer survivors , in particular , need comprehensive long - term follow - up care to thrive . One way this can be accomplished is through continuous follow - up care with a primary care physician who is trained to identify possible late effects from previous treatments and therapies . The Children 's Oncology Group ( COG ) has designed a set of survivorship guidelines that hope to aid both health care professionals and survivors themselves , in both the intricacies and basics of long - term follow - up care . The COG has guidelines for how a patient should put together their own `` treatment summary '' , so they can have their treatment history with them when they visit any health care provider . The COG suggests that a survivor include the following in his / her treatment summary : Name of disease , date of diagnosis , stage of disease , contact information of the clinics / hospitals where you received your care Names and doses of the chemotherapy and radiation you have received and the area of the body that was radiated Names and dates of any surgeries you have had If you have received a transplant , the type of transplant and where it was received and whether you developed any chronic Graft - versus - Host Disease Names and dates of any significant complications and treatment received for those complications With the treatment summary , experts hope that survivors will be better equipped to face the significant burden of maintaining quality follow - up care long after their original treatment . This is especially important for the AYA population , in particular , because they are typically facing major social changes regarding their relationship status , employment or education status , their insurance coverage , and even their place of residence , etc . Typically , most of these factors are pretty constant for the adult population and if they experience any changes , it would occur in one or two aspects of their life . However , with the AYA population , the period of time until they are 40 is when they are going to , for the majority of the population , undergo the most change . This reality underscores the importance of a smooth transition from child - centered to adult - focused health care services through which they are consistently managed . Impact of Affordable care act. on the AYA survivor population ( edit ) The US Affordable Care Act ( ACA ) in 2010 makes it illegal for health insurance providers to deny coverage for a pre-existing condition , such as previously having survived cancer . Young adults will now be required to have insurance coverage and , with a few exceptions , will be able to be covered under their parent 's coverage until the age of 26 as a dependent in their parent 's plan . Care ( edit ) Studies among endometrial cancer survivors show that satisfaction with information provided about the disease and treatment increases the quality of life , lowers depression and results in less anxiety . People who receive information on paper , compared to oral , indicate that they receive more information and are more satisfied about the information provided . The American Institute of Medicine and the Dutch Health Council recommend the use of a Survivorship Care Plan ; which is a summary of a patient 's course of treatment , with recommendations for subsequent surveillance , management of late effects , and strategies for health promotion . Cancer survivors are encouraged to meet the same guidelines for physical activity as the rest of the population . Increased physical activity reduces both all - cause and cancer - specific mortality in breast and colo - rectal cancer survivors . Physical activity improves quality of life among a range of cancer survivors and may also assist with cancer - related fatigue and common co-morbidities . Diet can also impact long - term mortality , with evidence across various cancer types . However , adherence to diet and exercise recommendations among cancer survivors is often poor . Digital behaviour change interventions can be successful at increasing physical activity and may also help with diet in cancer survivors . Family members ( edit ) Family members can be significantly affected by the cancer experience of their loved ones . For parents of children with cancer , finishing treatment can be a particularly vulnerable time . In the post-treatment period , some parents may experience increases in anxiety , depression and feelings of helplessness . Evidence - based psychological interventions tailored to the needs of parents of childhood cancer survivors may assist parents in resuming their normal lives after their child has finished treatment . Spouses of cancer survivors are more likely than other people to experience anxiety in the years after their partner 's successful treatment .

The band currently consists of Serj Tankian ( lead vocals , keyboards ) , Daron Malakian ( vocals , guitar ) , Shavo Odadjian ( bass , backing vocals ) and John Dolmayan ( drums ) . The band achieved commercial success with the release of five studio albums , three of which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 . System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards , and their song `` B.Y.O.B. '' won the Best Hard Rock Performance of 2006 . The group briefly disbanded in August 2006 and reunited in November 2010 , embarking on a tour for the following three years . System of a Down has sold over 40 million records worldwide .

They formed a band named Soil with Tankian on vocals and keyboards , Malakian on vocals and guitar , Dave Hakopyan ( who later played in The Apex Theory / Mt . Helium ) on bass and Domingo `` Dingo '' Laranio on drums . The band hired Shavo Odadjian ( another Rose and Alex Pilibos alumnus ) as manager , although he eventually joined Soil as rhythm guitarist . In 1994 , after only one live show , and one jam session recording , Hakopyan and Laranio left the band , feeling that it was not going anywhere . Demo tapes and signing ( 1994 -- 97 ) After Soil split up , Tankian , Odadjian , and Malakian formed a new band , System of a Down . The group took its name from a poem that Malakian had written titled `` Victims of a Down '' . The word `` victims '' was changed to `` system '' because Odadjian believed that it would appeal to a much wider audience and also because the group wanted their records to be alphabetically shelved closer to their musical heroes , Slayer . Odadjian switched from guitar to bass and passed on his managerial duties to Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group and its founder David `` Beno '' Benveniste . The band recruited drummer Ontronik `` Andy '' Khachaturian , an old school friend of Malakian 's and Odadjian 's who had played with Malakian in a band called Snowblind during their teens . In early 1995 , System played as `` Soil '' at the Cafe Club Fais Do - Do , a nightclub in Los Angeles . Shortly after the event , System of a Down made what is known as Untitled 1995 Demo Tape , which was not commercially released but appeared on file sharing networks around the time of the band 's success with Toxicity about six years later . Demo Tape 2 was released in 1996 . At the beginning of 1997 , System of a Down recorded their final publicly released demo tape , Demo Tape 3 . In mid-1997 , drummer Khachaturian left the band because of a hand injury ( he subsequently co-founded The Apex Theory , which included former Soil bassist Dave Hakopyan ) . Khachaturian was replaced by John Dolmayan . The band 's first official release of a professionally recorded song was on a collection called Hye Enk ( `` we 're Armenian '' in English ) , an Armenian Genocide recognition compilation , in 1997 . Soon after playing at notable Hollywood clubs such as the Whisky - A-Go - Go and Viper Room the band caught famed producer Rick Rubin 's attention who asked them to keep in touch with him . Showing great interest , the group recorded Demo Tape 4 near the end of 1997 . Unlike the previous demo tapes , however , Demo Tape 4 was made only to be sent to record companies ( although it has since been leaked onto the internet ) . Rubin signed the group onto his American / Columbia Records , and System of a Down began to record in Rubin 's studio with engineer Sylvia Massy , laying down tracks that would eventually be released on their debut album . Also in 1997 , the group won the Best Signed Band Award from the Rock City Awards . Self - titled album ( 1998 -- 2000 ) In June 1998 , System of a Down released their debut album , System of a Down . They enjoyed moderate success as their first singles `` Sugar '' and `` Spiders '' became radio favorites and the music videos for both songs were frequently aired on MTV . After the release of the album , the band toured extensively , opening for Slayer and Metallica before making their way to the second stage of Ozzfest . Following Ozzfest , they toured with Fear Factory and Incubus before headlining the Sno - Core Tour with Puya , Mr. Bungle , The Cat and Incubus providing support . In November 1998 , System of a Down appeared on South Park 's Chef Aid album , providing the music for the song `` Will They Die 4 You ? '' Near the end of the song Tankian can be heard saying , `` Why must we kill our own kind ? '' a line that would later be used in the song `` Boom ! '' Although System of a Down is credited on the album , South Park character Chef does not introduce them as he does every other artist featured on the record . System of a Down 's former drummer , Ontronik Khachaturian , briefly reunited with the band at a show at The Troubadour in 1999 , filling in on vocals for an ill Tankian . In 2000 , the band contributed their cover of the Black Sabbath song `` Snowblind '' to the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black 2 . Toxicity and Steal This album ! ( 2001 -- 03 ) Guitarist Daron Malakian met Serj Tankian for the first time in 1993 before forming the band a year later . On September 3 , 2001 , System of a Down had planned on launching their second album at a free concert in Hollywood as a `` thank you '' to fans . The concert , which was to be held in a parking lot , was set up to accommodate 3,500 people ; however , an estimated 7,000 to 10,000 fans showed up . Because of the large excess number of fans , the performance was cancelled by police officers just before the group took the stage . No announcement was made that the concert had been cancelled . Fans waited for more than an hour for the group to appear , but when a banner hanging at the back of the stage that read `` System of a Down '' was removed by security , the audience rushed the stage , destroying all the band 's touring gear ( approximately $30,000 worth of equipment ) and began to riot , throwing rocks at police , breaking windows , and knocking over portable toilets . The riot lasted six hours , during which six arrests were made . The band 's manager , David `` Beno '' Benveniste , later said that the riot could have been avoided if the group had been permitted to perform or had they been allowed to make a statement at the concert regarding the cancellation . System of a Down 's scheduled in - store performance the next day was cancelled to prevent a similar riot . The group 's big break arrived when their second album , Toxicity , debuted at No. 1 on the American and Canadian charts , despite the events of September 11 . The album has eventually achieved 3x multi-platinum certification in the US and has since sold over 12 million copies worldwide . It was still on top in America during the week of the September 11 , 2001 attacks and the political environment caused by the attacks added to the controversy surrounding the album 's hit single `` Chop Suey ! '' The song was taken off the radio as it contained politically sensitive lyrics according to the 2001 Clear Channel memorandum at the time such as `` ( I do n't think you ) trust in my self - righteous suicide . '' Regardless , the video gained constant play on MTV as did the album 's second single , `` Toxicity '' . Even with the controversy surrounding `` Chop Suey ! '' ( which earned a Grammy nomination ) , System of a Down still received constant airplay in the United States throughout late 2001 and 2002 with `` Toxicity '' and `` Aerials '' . In May 2006 , VH1 listed `` Toxicity '' in the number 14 slot in the 40 Greatest Metal Songs . In 2001 , the band went on tour with Slipknot throughout the United States and Mexico . Following a performance in Grand Rapids , Michigan , Odadjian was allegedly harassed , ethnically intimidated , and was physically assaulted by security guards backstage , who then dragged him out of the venue . Odadjian received medical attention from police and later filed a suit against the security company . Despite the incident , the tour was a success and System of a Down and Slipknot went on the Pledge of Allegiance Tour with Rammstein in 2001 . In late 2001 , unreleased tracks from the Toxicity sessions made their way onto the internet . This collection of tracks was dubbed Toxicity II by fans . The group released a statement that the tracks were unfinished material and subsequently released the final versions of the songs as their third album , Steal This Album ! , which was released in November 2002 . Steal This Album ! resembled a burnable CD that was marked with a felt - tip marker . 50,000 special copies of the album with different CD designs were also released , each designed by a different member of the band . The name of the album is a reference to Abbie Hoffman 's counter-culture book , Steal This Book as well as a message to those who leaked the songs onto the internet . The song `` Innervision '' was released as a promo single and received constant airplay on alternative radio . A video for `` Boom ! '' was filmed with director Michael Moore as a protest against the War in Iraq . Mezmerize , Hypnotize and separation ( 2004 -- 06 ) Serj Tankian has gained a reputation for his large vocal range along with his unusual delivery . Between 2004 and 2005 , the group recorded the follow - up to Steal This Album ! , a double album , which they released as separate installments six months apart from each other . The releases notably included album cover artwork by Malakian 's father , Vartan Malakian , and were designed to connect the two separate album covers . The first album , Mezmerize , was released on May 17 , 2005 to favorable reviews by critics . It debuted at No. 1 in the United States , Canada , Australia and all around the world , making it System of A Down 's second No. 1 album . First week sales rocketed to over 800,000 copies worldwide . The Grammy Award - winning single `` B.Y.O.B. '' , which questions the integrity of military recruiting in America , worked its way up the Billboard Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts . The next single , `` Question ! '' was released with Shavo Odadjian co-directing the music video . Following the release of Mezmerize , the band toured extensively throughout the United States and Canada with The Mars Volta and Bad Acid Trip supporting . The second part of the double album , Hypnotize , was released on November 22 , 2005 . Like Mezmerize , it debuted at No. 1 in the US , making System of a Down , along with The Beatles , Guns N ' Roses , and rappers 2Pac and DMX , the only artists to ever have two studio albums debut at No. 1 in the same year . In February 2006 , System of a Down won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance for `` B.Y.O.B. '' , beating out other established artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Robert Plant . Their second single off the Hypnotize album , `` Lonely Day '' was released in March in the United States . System of a Down released `` Kill Rock ' N Roll '' and `` Vicinity of Obscenity '' as their next promo singles . The band headlined Ozzfest 2006 in cities where tour founder Ozzy Osbourne opted not to appear or was not playing on the main stage ( with the exception of the show at Randall 's Island , where Ozzy Osbourne headlined the second stage before System of a Down 's performance that night ) . Whereas on System of a Down 's previous albums most of the lyrics were written and sung by Tankian and the music was co-written by Tankian and Malakian ( and sometimes Odadjian ) , much of the music and lyrics on Mezmerize / Hypnotize were written by Malakian who also took on a much more dominant role as vocalist on both albums , often leaving Tankian providing keyboards and backing vocals . System of a Down 's song `` Lonely Day '' was nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance in the 49th Grammy Awards in 2007 , but lost to `` Woman '' by Wolfmother . May 2006 saw the UK publication of a biography of the band entitled System of a Down : Right Here in Hollywood by writer Ben Myers . It was published in the US in 2007 through The Disinformation Company . Also in 2006 , concert footage and interviews with the band concerning the importance of helping create awareness and recognition of the Armenian Genocide were featured in the film Screamers , directed by Carla Garapedian . An interview with Tankian 's grandfather , a survivor of the Genocide , was also included in the film as well as Tankian 's and Dolmayan 's meeting with ( then ) Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert during which the two musicians campaigned for the United States government 's official recognition of the Genocide . Footage of Tankian and Dolmayan marching with protesters outside the Turkish embassy in Washington D.C. was also used in Screamers . In May also , the band announced they were going on hiatus . Malakian confirmed the break would probably last a few years , which Odadjian specified as a minimum of three years in an interview with Guitar magazine . He told MTV , `` We 're not breaking up . If that was the case , we would n't be doing this Ozzfest . We 're going to take a very long break after Ozzfest and do our own things . We 've done System for over ten years , and I think it 's healthy to take some rest . '' System of a Down 's final performance before their separation took place on August 13 , 2006 in West Palm Beach , Florida . `` Tonight will be the last show we play for a long time together , '' Malakian told the crowd during Sunday 's last performance . `` We 'll be back . We just do n't know when . '' During the band 's hiatus , Malakian formed a band called Scars on Broadway , which was joined by Dolmayan . After one self - titled album the project became dormant and Dolmayan has since left the band . Dolmayan , alongside working with Scars on Broadway , formed his own band , Indicator , as well as opened Torpedo Comics , an online comic book store . Odadjian pursued his project with RZA of Wu - Tang Clan , a hip - hop group named AcHoZeN , worked on his urSESSION website / record label , and performed as a member of funk legend George Clinton 's backing band . Tankian opted for solo career and released his debut solo album Elect the Dead in the autumn of 2007 . He has continued releasing solo albums , recording them almost by himself , after System of a Down reunited . Reunion and touring ( 2010 -- 2015 ) On November 29 , 2010 , following several weeks of Internet rumors , System of a Down officially announced that they would be reuniting for a string of large European festival dates in June 2011 . Among the announced tour dates included UK 's Download Festival , Switzerland 's Greenfield Festival , Germany 's Rock am Ring / Rock im Park , Sweden 's Metaltown , Austria 's Nova Rock Festival and Finland 's Provinssirock . The reunion tour commenced on May 10 , 2011 in Edmonton , Alberta . System 's first tour through Mexico and South America began on September 28 , 2011 in Mexico City , ending in Santiago ( Chile ) on October 7 , 2011 . From late February to early March 2012 , they headlined five dates at Soundwave festival . This was the band 's first visit to Australia since 2005 . The band have continued playing around the world . On August 11 and 12 , 2012 , they played the Heavy MTL and Heavy T.O. music festivals in Montreal and Toronto , respectively . In August 2013 System of a Down played at the UK 's Reading and Leeds Festivals , among other festivals and venues that year . System of a Down played their only 2013 US performance at the Hollywood Bowl on July 29 ; tickets sold out hours after going on sale on March 22 . On November 23 , 2014 , System of a Down announced the Wake Up The Souls Tour to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide . The tour included a free concert in Republic Square in Yerevan , Armenia on April 23 , 2015 , their first show in the country . Planned sixth studio album ( 2016 -- present ) In a November 2016 interview with Kerrang ! , drummer John Dolmayan revealed that System of a Down has been working on more than a dozen songs for their follow - up to the Mezmerize and Hypnotize albums . He stated , `` We 've been working on a new album for the last six months and there 's about 15 songs that I think are album - worthy . '' Although Dolmayan stated that the band does not know when the album will be released , he added that , `` I want everyone on board and feeling good about it . That 's what we 're trying to accomplish right now . There 's a tremendous amount of pressure on us , though , because it 's been 11 years -- at least 12 by the time it comes out . '' In a video question - and - answer session with fans on July 2 , 2017 , Shavo Odadjian was asked about the status of the next album , he responded , `` I 'm waiting for a new album too . It 's not happening . I do n't know . I do n't know when it 's gon na be . Not right now . '' Musical style , lyricism , and influences Lyricism System of a Down 's lyrics are often oblique or dadaist , and have discussed topics such as drug abuse , politics and sexual intercourse . `` Prison Song '' criticizes the War on Drugs whereas Rolling Stone describes `` Roulette '' as a `` scared , wounded love letter '' . `` Boom ! '' , among the band 's most straightforward and unambiguous songs , lambasts globalization and spendings on bombs and armament . Commenting on the track `` I-E-A-I-A-I-O '' , drummer John Dolmayan said it was inspired by an encounter he had with Knight Rider 's actor David Hasselhoff in a liquor store in Los Angeles when he was around 12 . On Mezmerize , `` Cigaro '' makes explicit references to phallic imagery and bureaucracy , while `` Violent Pornography '' harshly views television and degradation of women . System of a Down 's discontent towards the controversial Iraq War arises in `` B.Y.O.B. '' , which includes a double entendre reference to both beer and bombs , containing the forthright lyric `` Why do n't presidents fight the war ? Why do they always send the poor ? '' `` Old School Hollywood '' describes a celebrity baseball game . On their album `` Hypnotize '' , `` Tentative '' describes war , `` Hypnotize '' refers to the Tiananmen Square events and `` Lonely Day '' describes angst . The album title Steal This Album ! is a play on the book Steal This Book by left - wing political activist Abbie Hoffman . System of a Down 's firm commitment for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide emerges in two songs : `` P.L.U.C.K. '' and `` Holy Mountains '' , which rank among the band 's most political songs . Music Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic stated `` Like many late - ' 90s metal bands System of a Down struck a balance between ' 80s underground thrash metal and metallic early - ' 90s alternative rockers like Jane 's Addiction '' . System of a Down 's music has variously been termed alternative metal , nu metal , hard rock , progressive metal , thrash metal , art rock and avant - garde metal . Malakian has stated that `` We do n't belong to any one scene '' and that `` I do n't like the nu - metal drop - A 7 - string guitar sound ; it is not my thing , at least not yet . '' In interview with Mike Lancaster , he also said , `` People always seem to feel the need to put us into a category , but we just do n't fit into any category . '' According to Tankian , `` As far as arrangement and everything , ( our music ) is pretty much pop . To me , System of a Down is n't a progressive band . ( ... ) But it 's not a typical pop project , obviously . We definitely pay attention to the music to make sure that it 's not something someone 's heard before . '' The band has used a wide range of instruments , such as electric mandolins , baritone electric guitars , acoustic guitars , ouds , sitars and twelve string guitars . According to Malakian , he would often write songs in E ♭ tuning , which would later be changed to drop C tuning in order to be performed by the band . Malakian states that `` For me , the drop - C tuning is right down the center . It has enough of the clarity and the crisp sound -- most of our riffy stuff is done on the top two strings , anyway -- but it 's also thicker and ballsier . '' Influences and comparison to other artists The band 's influences include Middle Eastern music , Ozzy Osbourne , Dead Kennedys , Frank Zappa , Slayer , Kiss , Mr. Bungle and Van Halen . One reviewer claimed that their music encompasses different sounds , from sounding like `` Fugazi playing Rush '' to sometimes `` tread ( ing ) close to Frank Zappa territory . '' Malakian has stated that `` I 'm a fan of music . I 'm not necessarily a fan of any one band . '' Dolmayan stated `` I do n't think we sound like anybody else . I consider us System of a Down . '' Odadjian stated `` You can compare us to whoever you want . I do n't care . Comparisons and labels have no effect on this band . Fact is fact : We are who we are and they are who they are . '' Awards and nominations Main article : List of awards and nominations received by System of a Down System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards , of which has won one in 2006 for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song `` B.Y.O.B.

Bell Introduced by John Conboy Duration 1973 -- First appearance November 1973 The Chancellors are fictional characters and a core family from the CBS Daytime soap opera , The Young and the Restless . Since their introduction in 1973 , the family has mainly been represented by Katherine Chancellor ( Jeanne Cooper ) and her feud with her husband Phillip II ( Donnelly Rhodes ) 's young mistress Jill Foster ( Jess Walton ) . After years of feuding , Jill and Katherine form a bond and Kay becomes a mother figure to Jill , and a grandmother to Jill 's sons . The family is currently represented by Jill , her son Billy Abbott ( Jason Thompson ) , and his children and Katherine 's own grandchildren Devon Hamilton ( Bryton James ) and Mackenzie Browning ( Kelly Kruger ) . Contents 1 Family members 1.1 First Generation 1.2 Second Generation 1.3 Third Generation 1.4 Fourth Generation 1.5 In - Laws 2 Family tree 3 Chancellor Industries 3.1 Chancellor divisions 3.2 Chancellor subsidiaries 3.3 Personnel 3.4 Former personnel 4 References 5 External links Family members ( edit ) First generation ( edit ) The history of the Chancellor family is deeply rooted in the history of Genoa City , which was founded by Civil War hero Garfield Dandridge Chancellor . In 1973 Garfield 's great - great - grandson , Phillip Chancellor II , was running Chancellor Industries . He resided in the Chancellor mansion with his alcoholic and promiscuous wife Katherine ( Kay ) . The two barely communicated with each other as husband and wife , and the lonely Phillip , driven to distraction by Katherine 's obsessive behavior , sought refuge in the company of Katherine 's young and beautiful paid companion , Jill Foster . Phillip and Jill fell in love , Jill was a virgin but became pregnant the one and only time they made love . Phillip obtained a divorce from Katherine in the Dominican Republic , but Katherine got her revenge by picking Phillip up from the airport on his return , and drove him off a cliff when he refused to give her another chance . Phillip married Jill on his deathbed in order to provide for her and their unborn child . However , Katherine later had Phillip 's divorce from her invalidated , on the basis she was drunk when she signed the divorce papers , which automatically annulled Phillip and Jill 's marriage . So Katherine was reinstated as Phillip 's legal widow . Phillip 's affair with Jill Foster produced a son , Phillip III . The stage was set for a long and bitter feud between the two women that would continue for decades . Katherine Chancellor ( Jeanne Cooper ) Born on October 25 , 1928 as Katherine Shepherd , and known affectionately as Kay , Katherine marries high school and college sweetheart Gary Reynolds . Together they have one son , Brock . When Brock and Gary are out of the country , Katherine has an affair with Gary 's golfing buddy , Arthur Hendricks and later gives birth to his son , Tucker , who she secretly gave up for adoption without even seeing him . After Gary 's passing , Katherine marries Phillip Chancellor . However , Katherine and Phillip 's unhappy marriage is upended by Jill Foster who gets pregnant with his child . The two women would fight over everything from men to children for the next four decades . Katherine was remarried in 2009 to Patrick Murphy . Katherine dies on August 1 , 2013 at the age of 84 . Second generation ( edit ) Brock Reynolds ( Beau Kazer ) Brock is Katherine 's son with her first husband , Gary Reynolds . When Brock is first introduced as a rebellious college aged kid , wasting his inheritance in Europe , with childhood friend , Lorie Brooks .

Before his death , Phillip Chancellor II supervised all of the company 's holdings , including the factory in Genoa City where Liz Foster worked . After Phillip 's death , Katherine relied on good friend Victor Newman to keep an eye on things , and on Mitchell Sherman for legal advice . In later years Jill Foster Abbott , Neil Winters , and Cane Ashby all acted as CEO . For a brief period Katherine hired Jack Abbott as CEO . It was also the parent company of Jabot Cosmetics . The company was referred to as a sleeping giant according to former CEO Jack Abbott , CI was `` financially capable and always without scandal . '' For a couple years CI was wholly owned subsidiary of Tucker McCall Unlimited when Katherine 's long lost son , billionaire business mogul Tucker McCall assumed ownership via a hostile takeover . Tucker eventually sold Katherine majority ownership of CI under pressure from Victor Newman . A couple of weeks after Katherine 's funeral , on September 27 , 2013 , Victor Newman received a letter from Katherine leaving him Chancellor Industries . Her letter to him read : My Dear friend Victor , by the time you read this , you will have learned of my passing . I lived a long and colorful life and have no regrets about entering the next phase of my journey , save one . I wanted to ensure the longevity of my beloved Chancellor Industries . That is why I 've decided to name you the sole owner of the company . I hope you will accept this gift in the loving spirit in which it was given . Love , Katherine . As the new majority shareholder and Chairman of Chancellor Industries , Victor immediately plans a merger between Chancellor and Newman Enterprises . The new company is titled Newman - Chancellor Industries . Victor was having cash management issues due to some bad acquisitions , so it became necessary for him to sell Chancellor Industries . He gave Jill an exclusive opportunity before putting it on the market , acknowledging `` If Katherine would want the company to go to anyone but me , I think it would be Jill . '' On February 2 , 2015 Jill Foster Abbott bought Chancellor Industries from Victor Newman . Currently Jill Foster Abbott Atkinson is the sole owner of Chancellor Industries . Cane Ashby is its CEO . Katherine 's grandson Devon Hamilton loaned Jill some of the money for the purchase initially because of a blackmail attempt by Jill 's husband , and Cane 's father Colin Atkinson . But later Devon gave the money of his own free will explaining `` You know , Jill , Katherine gave me this money to do what I want with it , and what I want is for you and Cane to have the company . I really do . As long as Colin has nothing to do with it .

It was recorded by Redding twice in 1967 , including once just days before his death in a plane crash . The song was released on Stax Records ' Volt label in 1968 , becoming the first posthumous single to top the charts in the US . It reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart . Redding started writing the lyrics to the song in August 1967 , while sitting on a rented houseboat in Sausalito , California . He completed the song with the help of Cropper , who was a Stax producer and the guitarist for Booker T. & the M.G. 's . The song features whistling and sounds of waves crashing on a shore . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origins 1.1 Charts 1.1. 1 Weekly charts 1.1. 2 Year - end charts 2 Later versions 3 Reception 3.1 Universal success 3.2 Legacy 3.2. 1 Other cover versions 4 References 5 Bibliography 6 External links Origins ( edit ) While on tour with the Bar - Kays in August 1967 , Redding wrote the first verse of the song , under the abbreviated title `` Dock of the Bay , '' on a houseboat at Waldo Point in Sausalito , California . He had completed his famed performance at the Monterey Pop Festival just weeks earlier . While touring in support of the albums King & Queen ( a collaboration with female vocalist Carla Thomas ) and Live in Europe , he continued to scribble lines of the song on napkins and hotel paper . In November of that year , he joined producer and guitarist Steve Cropper at the Stax recording studio in Memphis , Tennessee , to record the song . In a September 1990 interview on NPR 's Fresh Air , Cropper explained the origins of the song : Otis was one of those the kind of guy who had 100 ideas . ( ... ) He had been in San Francisco doing The Fillmore . And the story that I got he was renting boathouse or stayed at a boathouse or something and that 's where he got the idea of the ships coming in the bay there . And that 's about all he had : `` I watch the ships come in and I watch them roll away again . '' I just took that ... and I finished the lyrics . If you listen to the songs I collaborated with Otis , most of the lyrics are about him . ( ... ) Otis did n't really write about himself but I did . Songs like `` Mr. Pitiful , '' `` Fa - Fa - Fa - Fa - Fa ( Sad Song ) '' ; they were about Otis and Otis ' life . `` Dock of the Bay '' was exactly that : `` I left my home in Georgia , headed for the Frisco Bay '' was all about him going out to San Francisco to perform . Together , they completed the music and melancholy lyrics of `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay . '' From those sessions emerged Redding 's final recorded work , including `` Dock of the Bay , '' which was recorded on November 22 , with additional overdubs on December 7 . Redding 's restrained yet emotive delivery is backed by Cropper 's memorably succinct guitar playing . The song is somewhat different in style from most of Redding 's other recordings . While discussing the song with his wife , Redding stated that he had wanted to `` be a little different '' with `` The Dock of the Bay '' and `` change his style '' . There were concerns that `` The Dock of the Bay '' had too much of a pop feel for an Otis Redding record , and contracting the Stax gospel act the Staple Singers to record backing vocals was discussed but never carried out . Redding had considered the song to be unfinished and planned to record what he considered a final version , but never got the chance . The song features a whistled tune heard before the song 's fade . It was originally performed by Redding , who ( according to Cropper ) had `` this little fadeout rap he was gon na do , an ad - lib . He forgot what it was so he started whistling . '' Redding continued to tour after the recording sessions . On December 10 , his charter plane crashed into Lake Monona , outside Madison , Wisconsin . Redding and six others were killed . After Redding 's death , Cropper mixed `` Dock of the Bay '' at Stax Studios . He added the sound of seagulls and waves crashing to the background , as Redding had requested , recalling the sounds he heard when he was staying on the houseboat . The fade - out whistling was originally recorded by Redding and was re-recorded by his bandleader , Sam `` Bluzman '' Taylor .

( June 2016 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) `` The Dock of the Bay '' has been hugely popular , even after its stay at the top of the charts . The song has been recorded by many artists , from Redding 's peers , like Glen Campbell , Cher , Peggy Lee , David Allan Coe , Bob Dylan , Don Partridge , Percy Sledge , Dee Clark , and Sam & Dave , to artists in various genres , including Jimmy Velvit ( whose cover version was included on his 2001 Grammy - nominated album Sun Sea & Sand ) , Widespread Panic ( who opened their New Year 's Eve 2005 concert with the song ) , Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson ( whose duet peaked at number 13 on the U.S. Hot Country Songs chart ) , Kenny Rankin , Dennis Brown , Michel Pagliaro , Jacob Miller , Pearl Jam , the Format , T. Rex ( as the B - side of `` Dreamy Lady '' , released in 1975 ) , Brent Smith of Shinedown ( during an acoustic set in 2008 and with Zach Myers in a 2014 EP ) , Justin Nozuka ( 2007 ) , Sara Bareilles ( 2008 ) , and Garth Brooks ( for the 2013 Blue - Eyed Soul album in the Blame It All on My Roots : Five Decades of Influences compilation ) . Playing for Change recorded a version featuring Grandpa Elliott and other performers . Sammy Hagar released a version of the song as a non-album single in 1979 . His version features the song 's co-writer , Steve Cropper , on guitar and members of the band Boston -- Brad Delp , Sib Hashian and Barry Goudreau -- on backup vocals . Producer John S. Carter had the track recorded in May 1979 with Cropper , bassist Leland Sklar and drummer Alvin Taylor . Later , he added Hagar 's vocals with background harmonies by the three members of Boston , with whom Hagar had just toured . Although the single was a modest hit for Hagar , peaking at number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100 , he considered it Carter 's efforts to manufacture a pop top 40 pop hit despite Hagar 's heavy metal roots . Hagar and Cropper 's work on the song was rated the thirty - seventh worst guitar solo in history by Pitchfork in 1998 . The song was not released on an album until 1992 , when it appeared on The Best of Sammy Hagar . The B - side of Hagar 's single was the first release of his studio version of `` I 've Done Everything for You '' . Michael Bolton included the song on his 1987 album The Hunger . His version peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Zelma Redding , Otis 's widow , said she was so moved by Bolton 's performance `` that it brought tears to my eyes . It reminded me so much of my husband that I know if he heard it , he would feel the same . '' In a framed letter that hangs on the wall of Bolton 's office , she referred to the record as `` my all - time favorite version of my husband 's classic . '' In April 2013 , Justin Timberlake performed the song as part of a tribute to Memphis soul music at the `` In Performance '' concert series performed at the White House . The series was attended by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama . Reception ( edit ) Many who first heard the final version had doubts about the song , the sound , and the production . Among the skeptics were Phil Walden and Jim Stewart . Redding accepted some of the criticisms and fine - tuned the song . He reversed the opening , which was Redding 's whistling part , and put it at the end as suggested . `` The Dock of the Bay '' was released early in 1968 and topped the charts in the US and UK . Billboard ranked the record as the number 4 song for 1968 . Universal success ( edit ) `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay '' was released in January 1968 , shortly after Redding 's death . R&B stations quickly added the song to their playlists , which had been saturated with Redding 's previous hits . The song shot to number one on the R&B charts in early 1968 and , starting in March , topped the pop charts for four weeks . The album , which shared the song 's title , became his largest - selling to date , peaking at number four on the pop albums chart . `` Dock of the Bay '' was popular in countries across the world and became Redding 's most successful record , selling more than four million copies worldwide . The song went on to win two Grammy Awards : Best R&B Song and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance . Legacy ( edit ) Redding 's body of work at the time of his death was immense , including a backlog of archived recordings as well as those created in November and December 1967 , just before his death . In mid-1968 , Stax Records severed its distribution contract with Atlantic Records , which retained the label 's back catalog and the rights to the unreleased Otis Redding masters . Through its Atco subsidiary ( Atco had distributed Otis Redding 's releases from Stax 's Volt label ) , Atlantic issued three more albums of new Redding material , one live album , and eight singles between 1968 and 1970 . Reprise Records issued a live album featuring Redding and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival . Both studio albums and anthologies sold well in America and abroad . Redding was especially successful in the United Kingdom , where The Dock of the Bay went to number one , becoming the first posthumous album to reach the top spot there . In 1999 , BMI named the song as the sixth-most performed song of the twentieth century , with about six million performances . Rolling Stone ranked The Dock of the Bay number 161 on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time , the third of five Redding albums on the list . `` ( Sittin ' On ) The Dock of the Bay '' was ranked twenty - eighth on Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time , the second - highest of four Redding songs on the list , after `` Respect '' . Jim Morrison made reference to `` Dock of the Bay '' in the Doors ' song `` Runnin ' Blue '' , written by Robby Krieger , from their 1969 album The Soft Parade . Morrison sings an a capella intro for the song , singing directly about Otis Redding . `` Poor Otis dead and gone , left me here to sing his song , pretty little girl with a red dress on , poor Otis dead and gone . '' And during the verse , the lyrics `` Got to find a dock and a bay '' appear more than once ; as well as several other references to Redding 's song . Other cover versions ( edit ) In addition to the original Otis Redding version , several other versions have charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States . King Curtis 's version charted for five weeks starting in March 1968 and peaked at number 84 ( during the same month , the original was number one ) . A year later , Sergio Mendes & Brasil ' 66 's version charted for five weeks starting in June 1969 and peaked at number 66 . Sammy Hagar 's version charted for five weeks starting in April 1979 , peaking at number 65 . The Reddings , who included two of Otis Redding 's sons , released a version which charted for nine weeks starting in June 1982 and peaked at number 55 . Michael Bolton 's rendition charted for 17 weeks starting in January 1988 and peaked at number 11 , making it the highest - charting cover version .

-7563897933726115699 | Bile | Bile - wikipedia Bile Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the fluid produced by the liver . For other uses , see Bile ( 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 . ( October 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Bile ( yellow material ) in a liver biopsy in the setting of bile stasis , i.e. cholestasis . H&E stain Bile or gall is a dark green to yellowish brown fluid , produced by the liver of most vertebrates , that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine . In humans , bile is produced continuously by the liver ( liver bile ) , and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder ( gallbladder bile ) . After eating , this stored bile is discharged into the duodenum . The composition of gallbladder bile is 97 % water , 0.7 % bile salts , 0.2 % bilirubin , 0.51 % fats ( cholesterol , fatty acids and lecithin ) , and 200 meq / l inorganic salts . Bile was the yellow bile in the four humor system of medicine , the standard of medical practice in Europe from 500 B.C. to the early nineteenth century . About 400 to 800 ml of bile is produced per day in adult humans . Contents ( hide ) 1 Function 2 Clinical significance 2.1 Biliary obstruction 3 Society and culture 3.1 Bile soap 3.2 Bile in food 3.3 Animal abuse 4 Principal bile acids 5 See also 6 References 7 Further reading Function ( edit ) Action of bile salts in digestion Recycling of the bile Bile acts to some extent as a surfactant , helping to emulsify the lipids in food . Bile salt anions are hydrophilic on one side and hydrophobic on the other side ; consequently , they tend to aggregate around droplets of lipids ( triglycerides and phospholipids ) to form micelles , with the hydrophobic sides towards the fat and hydrophilic sides facing outwards . The hydrophilic sides are negatively charged , and this charge prevents fat droplets coated with bile from re-aggregating into larger fat particles . Ordinarily , the micelles in the duodenum have a diameter around 14 -- 33 μm . The dispersion of food fat into micelles provides a greatly increased surface area for the action of the enzyme pancreatic lipase , which actually digests the triglycerides , and is able to reach the fatty core through gaps between the bile salts . A triglyceride is broken down into three fatty acids and a monoglyceride , which are absorbed by the villi on the intestine walls . After being transferred across the intestinal membrane , the fatty acids reform into triglycerides ( re-esterified ) , before being absorbed into the lymphatic system through lacteals . Without bile salts , most of the lipids in food would be excreted in faeces , undigested . Since bile increases the absorption of fats , it is an important part of the absorption of the fat - soluble substances , such as the vitamins A , D , E , and K . Besides its digestive function , bile serves also as the route of excretion for bilirubin , a byproduct of red blood cells recycled by the liver . Bilirubin derives from hemoglobin by glucuronidation . Bile tends to be alkali on average . The pH of common duct bile ( 7.50 to 8.05 ) is higher than that of the corresponding gallbladder bile ( 6.80 to 7.65 ) . Bile in the gallbladder becomes more acidic in the longer a person goes without eating , though resting slows this fall in pH . As an alkali , it also has the function of neutralizing excess stomach acid before it enters the duodenum , the first section of the small intestine . Bile salts also act as bactericides , destroying many of the microbes that may be present in the food . Clinical significance ( edit ) In the absence of bile , fats become indigestible and are instead excreted in feces , a condition called steatorrhea . Feces lack their characteristic brown color and instead are white or gray , and greasy . Steatorrhea can lead to deficiencies in essential fatty acids and fat - soluble vitamins . In addition , past the small intestine ( which is normally responsible for absorbing fat from food ) the gastrointestinal tract and gut flora are not adapted to processing fats , leading to problems in the large intestine . The cholesterol contained in bile will occasionally accrete into lumps in the gallbladder , forming gallstones . Cholesterol gallstones are generally treated through surgical removal of the gallbladder . However , they can sometimes be dissolved by increasing the concentration of certain naturally occurring bile acids , such as chenodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid . On an empty stomach -- after repeated vomiting , for example -- a person 's vomit may be green or dark yellow , and very bitter . The bitter and greenish component may be bile or normal digestive juices originating in the stomach . The color of bile is often likened to `` fresh - cut grass '' , unlike components in the stomach that look greenish yellow or dark yellow . Bile may be forced into the stomach secondary to a weakened valve ( pylorus ) , the presence of certain drugs including alcohol , or powerful muscular contractions and duodenal spasms . Biliary obstruction ( edit ) Biliary obstruction can be caused by a variety of dietary factors . Most biliary obstructions are caused by the high consumption of sugar , fat and processed foods . These foods can cause gallstones . Primarily , biliary obstruction is caused by blockage in the bile ducts . Bile ducts carry bile from the liver and gallbladder through the pancreas . A huge amount of the bile is then released into the small intestine duodenum . The remaining bile is stored in the gallbladder . After food consumption the bile in the gallbladder is released to help with digestion and fat absorption . Society and culture ( edit ) In medical theories prevalent in the West from Classical Antiquity to the Middle Ages , the body 's health depended on the equilibrium of four `` humors '' , or vital fluids , two of which related to bile : blood , phlegm , `` yellow bile '' ( choler ) , and `` black bile '' . These `` humors '' are believed to have its roots in the appearance of a blood sedimentation test made in open air , which exhibits a dark clot at the bottom ( `` black bile '' ) , a layer of unclotted erythrocytes ( `` blood '' ) , a layer of white blood cells ( `` phlegm '' ) and a layer of clear yellow serum ( `` yellow bile '' ) . Excesses of black bile and yellow bile were thought to produce depression and aggression , respectively , and the Greek names for them gave rise to the English words cholera ( from Greek kholé ) and melancholia . Those same theories explain the derivation of the English word bilious from bile , the meaning of gall in English as `` exasperation '' or `` impudence '' , and the Latin word cholera , derived from the Greek kholé , which was passed upon several Romance languages in words meaning `` anger '' such as colère ( French ) and cólera ( Spanish ) . Bile soap ( edit ) Bile from dead mammals can be mixed with soap . This mixture , called bile soap , can be applied to textiles a few hours before washing and is a traditional and rather effective method for removing various kinds of tough stains . Bile in food ( edit ) `` Pinapaitan '' is a dish in Philippine cuisine that uses bile as flavoring . Animal abuse ( edit ) In regions like Asia where bile products are a popular ingredient in traditional medicine , there are several cases of abuse of bears from which bile is farmed .

Spouse ( s ) Henry Burton ( Deceased ) Significant other ( s ) Andrew Perkins Mark Sloan Theodora `` Teddy '' Altman , M.D. is a fictional character from the ABC medical drama Grey 's Anatomy , portrayed by actress Kim Raver . She was an attending cardiothoracic surgeon at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital , the fictional institution where the show is set . She leaves the show in the 8th - season finale after it is revealed that she has been offered a chief position with Army Medical Command , but has turned it down out of loyalty to Dr. Owen Hunt . In order to liberate her from the hospital where her husband died , Hunt fires her from Seattle Grace . Teddy returns for a few episodes in season 14 . Contents ( hide ) 1 Storylines 2 Development 2.1 Casting and creation 2.2 Characterization 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Storylines ( edit ) Teddy attended the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center . She completed her surgical residency at George Washington University Medical School and her fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Florida . As an attending physician , Teddy worked at Columbia , but after her best friend was killed during the collapse of the second tower on September 11 , 2001 , she left and joined the army , meeting trauma surgeon Owen Hunt ( Kevin McKidd ) during her tour in Baghdad . Owen brings Teddy to Seattle Grace Mercy West hospital to mentor his girlfriend , Cristina Yang ( Sandra Oh ) . Teddy admits that she is in love with Owen , but he tells her that he loves Cristina . When Teddy assigns Cristina a difficult surgery for her first solo cardiothoracic case and refuses to assist , Owen questions Teddy 's motives . Teddy decides to leave Seattle Grace ; Cristina pleads with her to stay , even offering to break up with Owen if Teddy will continue to teach her . Although Teddy agrees to stay , Owen convinces Cristina to stay with him , and Teddy briefly removes her from her service . Teddy develops a friendship with pediatric surgeon Arizona Robbins ( Jessica Capshaw ) , who sets her up with plastic surgeon Mark Sloan ( Eric Dane ) . They have a brief relationship , which they both enjoy despite knowing that neither wants the other -- Teddy still wants Owen , and Mark is in love with Lexie Grey ( Chyler Leigh ) . The two separate amicably when Teddy walks in on Mark sleeping with resident Reed Adamson ( Nora Zehetner ) . Towards the end of season six , Teddy has to fight for her job as Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery . Cristina asks Owen to put in a good word for Teddy ; he does the opposite by telling Chief of Surgery Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) that she would land on her feet . Ultimately another candidate refuses to take the post and Teddy receives a full - time contract . Teddy later learns of , and is hurt by Owen 's betrayal . Teddy has a brief relationship with Dr. Andrew Perkins , whose service at the hospital is temporary . Before his departure , he suggests that Teddy has a tendency to fall for people who are either otherwise engaged or only in town for a month . She later meets Henry Burton , a patient with the rare genetic condition Von Hippel - Lindau disease , who can no longer afford to pay for his medical care . Teddy marries him so that he can use her health insurance , and only comes to appreciate the gravity of this decision when Henry suffers a near fatal complication of his illness . Teddy discovers that he has listed her as his emergency contact and is forced to make a life - or - death decision regarding his care , not as his doctor but as his wife . Though the newly - weds both maintain that theirs is a simple marriage of convenience , and Teddy continues to date other men , Henry later confesses that he has feelings for Teddy . She tells him she does not feel the same way . Teddy again removes Cristina from her service when she performs a surgery despite Teddy 's opposition . She tells Owen that Cristina 's over-abundance of confidence makes her dangerous , and that she will keep Cristina off her service until she feels she is ready to return . When Andrew returns and asks Teddy to move to Germany with him , she accepts , and agrees to divorce Henry . However , in the seventh season finale , Teddy changes her mind and tells Henry that she is falling in love with him . The two begin their married life properly , but in season eight , Henry dies , leaving Teddy distraught . She blames Owen because she was n't told that Henry had died until after her surgery on another patient . Feeling that he put the hospital before her , she breaks off her friendship with him , causing problems with them being able to work together that are later made worse by Cristina 's own relationship troubles with Owen ( During this time , Cristina tells Owen that he has to grant Teddy her anger , to which an enraged Owen lashes out the hypocrisy in the situation , given that when Cristina discovered she was pregnant with Owen 's child , she told him that keeping the pregnancy was non negotiable and wanted to pursue an abortion , despite Owen 's desire to have a child , and his pleas to keep the pregnancy , points out that Cristina never `` granted him any anger '' over what he thought was her selfish decision ) . After a particularly bad case , Dr. Bailey sternly tells Teddy that what happened with Henry was not Owen 's fault and that Teddy knows this and needs to get over it , which pushes Teddy to behave more civilly towards Owen , but she finally lets go of her anger after she desperately begs Owen to convince Cristina ( who by this point has broken up with him ) to not transfer away from Seattle and is left shocked and silent when Owen furiously tells her he will not do that because he and Teddy are only co-workers and , as she made very clear , not friends and therefore she has no right to ask him for any help or favors . She and Owen eventually make up in the season finale . Owen finds out she was offered a job at the United States Army Medical Command , but turned it down because she wanted to be there for Owen , if he and Cristina were to separate . He ultimately fires her and she does take the military job , and tells her that he 'll be okay as they part having restored their friendship. Teddy and Owen make up and hug each other goodbye as he wants her to take the job offer , which would be good for her . Teddy was later mentioned in season thirteen episode `` True Colors . '' Army officers knocked at Owen 's door stating that his sister Megan is believed to have been found alive ten years after her disappearance . At first , Owen is not sure what to believe , but his wife Amelia Shepherd mentioned to Owen that Teddy saw Megan and recognized her . This seemed to be the first time Teddy was mentioned after her departure . Development ( edit ) Raver initially signed for a recurring role , but was promoted to a series regular . Casting and creation ( edit ) In October 2009 , it was reported that actress Kim Raver would play the character and have a recurring role on the show 's sixth season . In January 2010 , Raver was promoted to a series regular . On May 18 , 2012 , the day after the season eight finale , Grey 's Anatomy creator , Shonda Rhimes , announced that it was Raver 's decision to leave the show , `` I know this season 's finale had some surprises for viewers and the exit of Kim Raver was one of the big ones . But Kim 's series option was up and she was ready to give Teddy Altman a much - needed vacation . It 's been a pleasure working with someone as talented and funny and kind as Kim ; everyone is going to miss her terribly . I like to imagine that Teddy is still out there in the Grey 's Anatomy universe , running Army Medical Command and building a new life . '' When the news of the character 's departure was released , Raver wrote on her Twitter , `` I 've had one of the best times of my creative career working on Grey 's with Shonda , Betsy and the best cast on Television , '' she wrote , adding : `` I feel fortunate and grateful to have worked with such an amazing team at GA ( Grey 's Anatomy ) . ( I ) am going to miss everyone ! ! And to the GA ( Grey 's Anatomy ) fans , you guys rock ! I am sure S9 ( season nine ) will be great ! '' On June 20 , 2017 , it was announced that Raver would be reprising her role as Teddy Altman for a guest arc during the show 's 14th season . Characterization ( edit ) This section is empty . You can help by adding to it . ( July 2012 ) We see Teddy as a person who is willing to do whatever possible to make herself a much appreciated doctor and friend at Grey Sloan . In Season 14 's premiere , `` Break Down the House '' , Teddy and Owen Reunite after long times away from each other . Teddy comforts Owen after he is on the verge of having a meltdown . is this just the beginning of a newly discovered friendship between the two after so much time away from each other ? Reception ( edit ) This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it .

Taking inspiration from `` The Night Before Christmas '' , the attraction retells the story of Jack Skellington ( as `` Sandy Claws '' ) visiting the Haunted Mansion on Christmas Eve , leaving holiday chaos in his wake . The Haunted Mansion typically closes for two and half weeks in late summer so it can be converted into the Haunted Mansion Holiday . The overlaid attraction is then open to guests from late - September through early January before being closed again to remove the overlay . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Storyline 3 Attraction 4 Additions 5 Soundtrack 6 Voice cast 7 See also 8 References 9 Further reading 10 External links History ( edit ) Two similar overlays -- Country Bear Christmas Special and It 's a Small World Holiday -- had already been successful for some time when Haunted Mansion Holiday was developed . Initially , Disney considered doing a retelling of Charles Dickens ' A Christmas Carol , but decided against it due to the attraction 's setting in New Orleans Square and the incongruity of bringing Santa Claus into the eerie environment of the Haunted Mansion . Instead , they decided to base it on The Nightmare Before Christmas after considering which Disney character would celebrate Christmas in the Haunted Mansion , should Santa Claus ever land there on his journey . Steve Davison took the idea and worked with Walt Disney Creative Entertainment to develop the overlay . One issue Disney had to deal with was the fact that many of the key performers in the original attraction -- Paul Frees , Leota Toombs , Eleanor Audley , most of the singing busts , and almost all of the original voice actors -- had died years earlier . Paul Frees was replaced in his role as the Ghost Host by Corey Burton , who had done voiceover work with Disney before . Leota Toombs ' daughter , Kim Irvine , resembled her mother and was thus chosen to perform in her place as Madame Leota . Susan Blakeslee ( impersonating Eleanor Audley ) provides the voice of Madame Leota . The singing busts were topped with Jack - O - Lanterns and given computer - animated singing projections . New voice actors were picked for the graveyard ghosts that sound similar to the originals ( with the exception of the Headsman Trio ; The Knight and Executioner seem to have had their voices swapped ) . Haunted Mansion Holiday opened October 3 , 2001 , and quickly became popular with guests , leading to the attraction 's FastPass machines being activated during the overlay ( they are now always active ) . The Tokyo version props were intended for Walt Disney World , but when the park abandoned plans to install the attraction , Tokyo ( which features a carbon copy of their Haunted Mansion ) received all the props . On September 13 , 2013 ( Friday the 13th ) , the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland opened to the public outfitted with new effects and set pieces in celebration of its 13th year . Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Paris do not have seasonal overlays . Outside of Phantom Manor , guests can get their photo taken with Jack and Sally . Storyline ( edit ) The Haunted Mansion Holiday takes place shortly after the events of the film it conjoins with , The Nightmare Before Christmas , where Jack Skellington , who tried to create his very own twisted Christmas in a Halloween - style overlay in the movie , now discovers the Haunted Mansion , home to 999 Happy Haunts . Deciding to spread joy to the mansion 's gloomy residents for the holidays , Jack and his creepy crew from Halloween Town bring hundreds of Jack 's original evil Christmas presents and decorations to the manor and deck the haunting grounds for a thrilling and chilling holiday for the Grim Grinning Ghosts inhabiting the abandoned house , setting the stage for the ride itself . Attraction ( edit ) Upon visiting the mansion , guests first see that the facade has been completely redecorated , with jack - o - lanterns and candles . Jack 's sleigh is on the roof . In the foyer , a grim rendition of Making Christmas plays while the Ghost Host begins to tell the story of what is happening at the mansion . A picture of Jack Skellington slowly changes into Jack dressed as `` Sandy Claws '' . Doors open , letting guests into the famous octagonal portrait gallery . Large stained glass paintings line the walls , depicting innocent Christmas scenes . After the doors close shut , all goes dark with the horrendous sound of the paintings breaking in half . The room begins to stretch , the tension rises , and with a thunderclap , Jack 's face appears in the cupola above , shouting : `` Happy Holidays , Everyone ! '' Since 2013 , the ceiling has been retooled to depict a stained glass wreath , changing color as the room stretches . It will shatter twice , once in the face of a grinning pumpkin head , then entirely to reveal a fully animated Jack Skellington looking down upon guests . When the lights come back on , the Ghost Host can still be seen in the rafters . A dreadful scream and the shattering of bones is heard , and the doors reopen . Guests are lead into the Loading Area , where they board their Doom Buggy to begin the tour . From above , Jack greets guests with Sally and the Vampire Teddy . Down another hallway , paintings of characters from Halloween Town watch guests ' every move . In the library , Zero has created a spinning Christmas tree of books , wrapped in garlands . The staring busts remain . The Doom Buggies then float into the Music Room , where Sally sits , listening to the Vampire Teddy play for her rapidly on the piano . As guests glide upstairs , insects shiver in fear inside of cages , with tags reading , `` To Oogie '' . Oogie 's shadow can be seen dancing on the face of the moon and turning into a Christmas tree . Guests float past an Endless Hallway , with bone decor all around . Zero , Jack 's dog floats inside , barking happily . In the Conservatory , a group of flowers has sprung to life and now forms the choir . A man tries to escape his Christmas - wrapped coffin , but the Vampire Teddy Bear sits atop , hammer and nails in hand . The hallway , which guests travel through backwards , has been redeocrated as well , with skulls and garlands . Doors on either side make strange noises , as though something on the other side were trying to get out . A monstrous man - eating wreath waits above the guests , reaching out to grab them . More of the comically vicious flowers seem to be sprouting from it . The possessed grandfather clock chimes 13 as the hands spin wildly backwards , and a note reads `` To Leota : 13 Special Gifts for You ! - Sandy Claws '' In the Seance Room , Madame Leota recites the `` 13 Days of Christmas '' , her 13 Christmas gifts . Tarot cards showing all of her gifts float about the room , while the Vampire Teddy Bear rings bells maniacally . A zombified nutcracker imitates Leota chanting her incantations . The Happy Haunts finally begin to materialize in the ballroom . A cake sits on the table that bears resemblance to the spiral hill from Halloween town , but covered in snow . An immense , dead Christmas tree is in the middle of the room , with glowing skull and jack - o - lantern ornaments and ascending and desscending spider ornaments . Ghosts dance right through the tree while a ghost organist plays Kidnap the Sandy Claws as a waltz . In the Attic , all of Jack 's presents have been stored . Ghastly , glowing presents lie about the room , jack - in - the - boxes popping up to scare passing guests . A snake , having eaten some presents , sits with Jack 's Naughty and Nice list hanging out of its mouth . The Graveyard has been completely covered in snow and the spiral hill from Halloween Town sits in the middle of the graveyard , covered with snow and singing , glowing jack - o - lanterns . Jack Skellington greets guests at the gates , wishing them a Merry Christmas with Zero . A quintet of busts have been topped with singing jack - o - lanterns while the graveyard ghosts sing about their perfect Christmas . Ghosts ride around on bicycles with Jack 's bonedeer . Giant ice angles with jack - o - lantern heads blow on their horns overhead . Guests finally enter the exit crypt , as the Vampire Teddy Bear plays his own little horn to say goodbye . The Ghost Host warns guests about followers , as Lock , Shock , and Barrel playfully peek out of presents . Guilded mirrors surround the next walls , and in those mirrors , Lock , Shock , or Barrel sit in your car . Sally can then be seen , waving to Jack as he leaves , crossing the face of the moon and wishing her a Merry Christmas . Guests then disembark their Doom Buggy , hearing the ghosts play a jazzy tune to give them something to remember after they leave . Additions ( edit ) Disneyland offers an `` Oogie Boogie 's Holiday Tricks and Treats '' scavenger hunt . Oogie has hidden cameos throughout the mansion , which guests are asked to look for . For instance , Oogie can be found in shrubbery in the gardens , a shadow on the Christmas card , a doll in the attic , etc . Soundtrack ( edit ) The attraction 's musical score was originally composed by Gordon Goodwin . It was replaced in 2002 with an adapted score by John Debney , based on themes from the film 's soundtrack composed by Danny Elfman . Since 2003 , Goodwin 's original music has been used in the stretching rooms and the exit crypt ( where Goodwin 's attic music is used ) , while the rest of Elfman 's score remains . Several characters in the ride are voiced by the original actors from the film , and the various sound effects are an admixture of tracks from the original attraction and new ones .

Numerous cultures formed . The arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 started the European colonization of the Americas . Most colonies formed after 1600 . By the 1770s , thirteen British colonies contained 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachian Mountains . After defeating France , the British government imposed a series of new taxes after 1765 , rejecting the colonists ' argument that new taxes needed their approval ( see Stamp Act 1765 ) . Tax resistance , especially the Boston Tea Party ( 1773 ) , led to punitive laws by Parliament designed to end self - government in Massachusetts . Armed conflict began in 1775 . In 1776 , the Second Continental Congress declared a new , independent nation : the United States of America . Led by General George Washington , it won the Revolutionary War with large support from France . The peace treaty of 1783 gave the new nation the land east of the Mississippi River ( except Canada and Florida ) . The Articles of Confederation established a central government , but it was ineffectual at providing stability , as it could not collect taxes and had no executive officer . A convention in 1787 wrote a new Constitution that was adopted in 1789 . In 1791 , a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee inalienable rights . With Washington as the first president and Alexander Hamilton his chief adviser , a strong central government was created . Purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 doubled the size of the United States . A second and final war with Britain was fought in 1812 , which solidified national pride . Encouraged by the notion of manifest destiny , U.S. territory expanded all the way to the Pacific coast . While the United States was large in terms of area , its population in 1790 was only 4 million . However this grew rapidly , reaching 7.2 million in 1810 , 32 million in 1860 , 76 million in 1900 , 132 million in 1940 , and 321 million in 2015 . Economic growth in terms of overall GDP was even greater . However compared to European powers , the nation 's military strength was relatively limited in peacetime before 1940 . The expansion was driven by a quest for inexpensive land for yeoman farmers and slave owners . The expansion of slavery was increasingly controversial and fueled political and constitutional battles , which were resolved by compromises . Slavery was abolished in all states north of the Mason -- Dixon line by 1804 , but the South continued to profit off of the institution , mostly from production of cotton . Republican Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 on a platform of halting the expansion of slavery . Seven Southern slave states rebelled and created the foundation of the Confederacy . Its attack of Fort Sumter against the Union forces started the Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) . Confederate defeat led to the impoverishment of the South and the abolition of slavery . In the Reconstruction Era ( 1863 -- 1877 ) , legal and voting rights were extended to freed slaves . The national government emerged much stronger , and because of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 , it gained the explicit duty to protect individual rights . However , when white Democrats regained their power in the South in 1877 , often by paramilitary suppression of voting , they passed Jim Crow laws to maintain white supremacy , and new disfranchising constitutions that prevented most African Americans and many poor whites from voting . This continued until gains of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and passage of federal legislation to enforce constitutional rights were made . The United States became the world 's leading industrial power at the turn of the 20th century due to an outburst of entrepreneurship in the Northeast and Midwest and the arrival of millions of immigrant workers and farmers from Europe . The national railroad network was completed and large - scale mining and factories industrialized the Northeast and Midwest . Mass dissatisfaction with corruption , inefficiency and traditional politics stimulated the Progressive movement , from the 1890s to 1920s , which led to many reforms including the 16th to 19th constitutional amendments , which brought the federal income tax , direct election of Senators , prohibition , and women 's suffrage . Initially neutral during World War I , the United States declared war on Germany in 1917 and funded the Allied victory the following year . After a prosperous decade in the 1920s , the Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the onset of the decade - long worldwide Great Depression . Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the Republican dominance of the White House and implemented his New Deal programs , which included relief for the unemployed , support for farmers , Social Security and a minimum wage . The New Deal defined modern American liberalism . After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 , the United States entered World War II and financed the Allied war effort and helped defeat Nazi Germany in the European theater . Its involvement culminated in using newly invented nuclear weapons on two Japanese cities to defeat Imperial Japan in the Pacific theater . The United States and the Soviet Union emerged as rival superpowers in the aftermath of World War II . During the Cold War , the two countries confronted each other indirectly in the arms race , the Space Race , proxy wars , and propaganda campaigns . The purpose of this was to stop the spread of communism . In the 1960s , in large part due to the strength of the Civil Rights Movement , another wave of social reforms was enacted by enforcing the constitutional rights of voting and freedom of movement to African - Americans and other racial minorities . The Cold War ended when the Soviet Union was officially dissolved in 1991 , leaving the United States as the world 's only superpower . After the Cold War , the United States began focusing on modern conflicts in the Middle East and nuclear programs in North Korea . The beginning of the 21st century saw the September 11 attacks by Al - Qaeda in 2001 , which was later followed by the U.S. - led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan . In 2008 , the United States had its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression , which was followed by slower - than - usual rates of economic growth during the 2010s .

It is not definitively known how or when the Native Americans first settled the Americas and the present - day United States . The prevailing theory proposes that people migrated from Eurasia across Beringia , a land bridge that connected Siberia to present - day Alaska during the Ice Age , and then spread southward throughout the Americas and possibly going as far south as the Antarctic Peninsula . This migration may have begun as early as 30,000 years ago and continued through to about 10,000 + years ago , when the land bridge became submerged by the rising sea level caused by the ending of the last glacial period . These early inhabitants , called Paleoamericans , soon diversified into many hundreds of culturally distinct nations and tribes . The pre-Columbian era incorporates all period subdivisions in the history and prehistory of the Americas before the appearance of significant European influences on the American continents , spanning the time of the original settlement in the Upper Paleolithic period to European colonization during the early modern period . While technically referring to the era before Christopher Columbus ' voyages of 1492 to 1504 , in practice the term usually includes the history of American indigenous cultures until they were conquered or significantly influenced by Europeans , even if this happened decades or even centuries after Columbus ' initial landing . Native development prior to European contact ( edit ) Main article : History of Native Americans in the United States The Cultural areas of pre-Columbian North America , according to Alfred Kroeber . Native American cultures are not normally included in characterizations of advanced stone age cultures as `` Neolithic , '' which is a category that more often includes only the cultures in Eurasia , Africa , and other regions . The archaeological periods used are the classifications of archaeological periods and cultures established in Gordon Willey and Philip Phillips ' 1958 book Method and Theory in American Archaeology . They divided the archaeological record in the Americas into five phases ; see Archaeology of the Americas . The Clovis culture , a megafauna hunting culture , is primarily identified by use of fluted spear points . Artifacts from this culture were first excavated in 1932 near Clovis , New Mexico . The Clovis culture ranged over much of North America and also appeared in South America . The culture is identified by the distinctive Clovis point , a flaked flint spear - point with a notched flute , by which it was inserted into a shaft . Dating of Clovis materials has been by association with animal bones and by the use of carbon dating methods . Recent reexaminations of Clovis materials using improved carbon - dating methods produced results of 11,050 and 10,800 radiocarbon years B.P. ( roughly 9100 to 8850 BCE ) . Numerous Paleoindian cultures occupied North America , with some arrayed around the Great Plains and Great Lakes of the modern United States of America and Canada , as well as adjacent areas to the West and Southwest . According to the oral histories of many of the indigenous peoples of the Americas , they have been living on this continent since their genesis , described by a wide range of traditional creation stories . Other tribes have stories that recount migrations across long tracts of land and a great river , believed to be the Mississippi River . Genetic and linguistic data connect the indigenous people of this continent with ancient northeast Asians . Archeological and linguistic data has enabled scholars to discover some of the migrations within the Americas . A Folsom point for a spear . The Folsom Tradition was characterized by use of Folsom points as projectile tips , and activities known from kill sites , where slaughter and butchering of bison took place . Folsom tools were left behind between 9000 BCE and 8000 BCE . Na - Dené - speaking peoples entered North America starting around 8000 BCE , reaching the Pacific Northwest by 5000 BCE , and from there migrating along the Pacific Coast and into the interior . Linguists , anthropologists and archeologists believe their ancestors comprised a separate migration into North America , later than the first Paleo - Indians . They migrated into Alaska and northern Canada , south along the Pacific Coast , into the interior of Canada , and south to the Great Plains and the American Southwest . They were the earliest ancestors of the Athabascan - speaking peoples , including the present - day and historical Navajo and Apache . They constructed large multi-family dwellings in their villages , which were used seasonally . People did not live there year - round , but for the summer to hunt and fish , and to gather food supplies for the winter . The Oshara Tradition people lived from 5500 BCE to 600 CE . They were part of the Southwestern Archaic Tradition centered in north - central New Mexico , the San Juan Basin , the Rio Grande Valley , southern Colorado , and southeastern Utah . Since the 1990s , archeologists have explored and dated eleven Middle Archaic sites in present - day Louisiana and Florida at which early cultures built complexes with multiple earthwork mounds ; they were societies of hunter - gatherers rather than the settled agriculturalists believed necessary according to the theory of Neolithic Revolution to sustain such large villages over long periods . The prime example is Watson Brake in northern Louisiana , whose 11 - mound complex is dated to 3500 BCE , making it the oldest , dated site in the Americas for such complex construction . It is nearly 2,000 years older than the Poverty Point site . Construction of the mounds went on for 500 years until was abandoned about 2800 BCE , probably due to changing environmental conditions . Poverty Point culture is a Late Archaic archaeological culture that inhabited the area of the lower Mississippi Valley and surrounding Gulf Coast . The culture thrived from 2200 BCE to 700 BCE , during the Late Archaic period . Evidence of this culture has been found at more than 100 sites , from the major complex at Poverty Point ( a UNESCO World Heritage Site ) across a 100 - mile ( 160 km ) range to the Jaketown Site near Belzoni , Mississippi . Totem poles in Wrangell , Alaska . Poverty Point is a 1 square mile ( 2.6 km ) complex of six major earthwork concentric rings , with additional platform mounds at the site . Artifacts show the people traded with other Native Americans located from Georgia to the Great Lakes region . This is one among numerous mound sites of complex indigenous cultures throughout the Mississippi and Ohio valleys . They were one of several succeeding cultures often referred to as mound builders . The Woodland period of North American pre-Columbian cultures refers to the time period from roughly 1000 BCE to 1,000 CE in the eastern part of North America . The term `` Woodland '' was coined in the 1930s and refers to prehistoric sites dated between the Archaic period and the Mississippian cultures . The Hopewell tradition is the term for the common aspects of the Native American culture that flourished along rivers in the northeastern and midwestern United States from 200 BCE to 500 CE . The indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast were of many nations and tribal affiliations , each with distinctive cultural and political identities , but they shared certain beliefs , traditions and practices , such as the centrality of salmon as a resource and spiritual symbol . Their gift - giving feast , potlatch , is a highly complex event where people gather in order to commemorate special events . These events , such as , the raising of a Totem pole or the appointment or election of a new chief . The most famous artistic feature of the culture is the Totem pole , with carvings of animals and other characters to commemorate cultural beliefs , legends , and notable events . The Hopewell tradition was not a single culture or society , but a widely dispersed set of related populations , who were connected by a common network of trade routes , known as the Hopewell Exchange System . At its greatest extent , the Hopewell exchange system ran from the Southeastern United States into the southeastern Canadian shores of Lake Ontario . Within this area , societies participated in a high degree of exchange ; most activity was conducted along the waterways that served as their major transportation routes . The Hopewell exchange system traded materials from all over the United States . Major cultures ( edit ) Grave Creek Mound , located in Moundsville , West Virginia , is one of the largest conical mounds in the United States . It was built by the Adena culture . Adena culture : The Adena culture was a Native American culture that existed from 1000 BC to 200 BC , in a time known as the Early Woodland period . The Adena culture refers to what were probably a number of related Native American societies sharing a burial complex and ceremonial system . A map showing the extent of the Coles Creek cultural period and some important sites . Coles Creek culture : The Coles Creek culture is an indigenous development of the Lower Mississippi Valley that took place between the terminal Woodland period and the later Plaquemine culture period . The period is marked by the increased use of flat - topped platform mounds arranged around central plazas , more complex political institutions , and a subsistence strategy still grounded in the Eastern Agricultural Complex and hunting rather than on the maize plant as would happen in the succeeding Plaquemine Mississippian period . The culture was originally defined by the unique decoration on grog - tempered ceramic ware by James A. Ford after his investigations at the Mazique Archeological Site . He had studied both the Mazique and Coles Creek Sites , and almost went with the Mazique culture , but decided on the less historically involved sites name . It is ancestral to the Plaquemine culture . The Great House at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument . Hohokam culture : The Hohokam was a culture centered along American Southwest . The early Hohokam founded a series of small villages along the middle Gila River . They raised corn , squash and beans . The communities were located near good arable land , with dry farming common in the earlier years of this period . They were known for their pottery , using the paddle - and - anvil technique . The Classical period of the culture saw the rise in architecture and ceramics . Buildings were grouped into walled compounds , as well as earthen platform mounds . Platform mounds were built along river as well as irrigation canal systems , suggesting these sites were administrative centers allocating water and coordinating canal labor . Polychrome pottery appeared , and inhumation burial replaced cremation . Trade included that of shells and other exotics . Social and climatic factors led to a decline and abandonment of the area after 1400 A.D. Ancestral Puebloan archeological sites The Great Kiva of Chetro Ketl at the Chaco Culture National Historical Park , UNESCO World Heritage Site . Cliff Palace , Mesa Verde National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Taos Pueblo , a UNESCO World Heritage site , is an Ancient Pueblo belonging to a Native American tribe of Pueblo people , marking the cultural development in the region during the Pre-Columbian era . White House Ruins , Canyon de Chelly National Monument Ancestral Puebloan culture : The Ancestral Puebloan culture covered present - day Four Corners region of the United States , comprising southern Utah , northern Arizona , northwestern New Mexico , and southwestern Colorado . It is believed that the Ancestral Puebloans developed , at least in part , from the Oshara Tradition , who developed from the Picosa culture . They lived in a range of structures that included small family pit houses , larger clan type structures , grand pueblos , and cliff sited dwellings . The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a complex network that stretched across the Colorado Plateau linking hundreds of communities and population centers . The culture is perhaps best known for the stone and earth dwellings built along cliff walls , particularly during the Pueblo II and Pueblo III eras . Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in the United States are credited to the Pueblos : Mesa Verde National Park , Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Taos Pueblo . The best - preserved examples of the stone dwellings are in National Parks , examples being , Navajo National Monument , Chaco Culture National Historical Park , Mesa Verde National Park , Canyons of the Ancients National Monument , Aztec Ruins National Monument , Bandelier National Monument , Hovenweep National Monument , and Canyon de Chelly National Monument . Mississippian culture Monks Mound of Cahokia ( UNESCO World Heritage Site ) in summer . The concrete staircase follows the approximate course of the ancient wooden stairs . An artistic recreation of The Kincaid Site from the prehistoric Mississippian culture as it may have looked at its peak 1050 -- 1400 CE . Engraved stone palette from Moundville , illustrating two horned rattlesnakes , perhaps referring to The Great Serpent of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex . Mississippian culture : The Mississippian culture which extended throughout the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and built sites throughout the Southeast , created the largest earthworks in North America north of Mexico , most notably at Cahokia , on a tributary of the Mississippi River in present - day Illinois . The ten - story Monks Mound at Cahokia has a larger circumference than the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan or the Great Pyramid of Egypt . The 6 square miles ( 16 km ) city complex was based on the culture 's cosmology ; it included more than 100 mounds , positioned to support their sophisticated knowledge of astronomy , and built with knowledge of varying soil types . The society began building at this site about 950 CE , and reached its peak population in 1,250 CE of 20,000 -- 30,000 people , which was not equalled by any city in the present - day United States until after 1800 . Cahokia was a major regional chiefdom , with trade and tributary chiefdoms located in a range of areas from bordering the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico . Kincaid c. 1050 -- 1400 AD , is one of the largest settlements of the Mississippian culture , it was located at the southern tip of present - day U.S. state of Illinois . Kincaid Mounds has been notable for both its significant role in native North American prehistory and for the central role the site has played in the development of modern archaeological techniques . The site had at least 11 substructure platform mounds ( ranking fifth for mound - culture pyramids ) . Artifacts from the settlement link its major habitation and the construction of the mounds to the Mississippian period , but it was also occupied earlier during the Woodland period . The Mississippian culture developed the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex , the name which archeologists have given to the regional stylistic similarity of artifacts , iconography , ceremonies and mythology . The rise of the complex culture was based on the people 's adoption of maize agriculture , development of greater population densities , and chiefdom - level complex social organization from 1200 CE to 1650 CE . The Mississippian pottery are some of the finest and most widely spread ceramics north of Mexico . Cahokian pottery was especially fine , with smooth surfaces , very thin walls and distinctive tempering , slips and coloring . Map of the Five Nations of the Iroquois ( from the Darlington Collection ) . Iroquois Culture : The Iroquois League of Nations or `` People of the Long House '' , based in present - day upstate and western New York , had a confederacy model from the mid-15th century . It has been suggested that their culture contributed to political thinking during the development of the later United States government . Their system of affiliation was a kind of federation , different from the strong , centralized European monarchies . Leadership was restricted to a group of 50 sachem chiefs , each representing one clan within a tribe . The Oneida and Mohawk people had nine seats each ; the Onondagas held fourteen ; the Cayuga had ten seats ; and the Seneca had eight . Representation was not based on population numbers , as the Seneca tribe greatly outnumbered the others . When a sachem chief died , his successor was chosen by the senior woman of his tribe in consultation with other female members of the clan ; property and hereditary leadership were passed matrilineally . Decisions were not made through voting but through consensus decision making , with each sachem chief holding theoretical veto power . The Onondaga were the `` firekeepers '' , responsible for raising topics to be discussed . They occupied one side of a three - sided fire ( the Mohawk and Seneca sat on one side of the fire , the Oneida and Cayuga sat on the third side . ) Elizabeth Tooker , an anthropologist , has said that it was unlikely theU. S. founding fathers were inspired by the confederacy , as it bears little resemblance to the system of governance adopted in the United States . For example , it is based on inherited rather than elected leadership , selected by female members of the tribes , consensus decision - making regardless of population size of the tribes , and a single group capable of bringing matters before the legislative body . Long - distance trading did not prevent warfare and displacement among the indigenous peoples , and their oral histories tell of numerous migrations to the historic territories where Europeans encountered them . The Iroquois invaded and attacked tribes in the Ohio River area of present - day Kentucky and claimed the hunting grounds . Historians have placed these events as occurring as early as the 13th century , or in the 17th century Beaver Wars . Through warfare , the Iroquois drove several tribes to migrate west to what became known as their historically traditional lands west of the Mississippi River . Tribes originating in the Ohio Valley who moved west included the Osage , Kaw , Ponca and Omaha people . By the mid-17th century , they had resettled in their historical lands in present - day Kansas , Nebraska , Arkansas and Oklahoma . The Osage warred with Caddo - speaking Native Americans , displacing them in turn by the mid-18th century and dominating their new historical territories . Native development in Hawaii ( edit ) Kamehameha I , founder of the Kingdom of Hawaii . Main article : History of Hawaii Native development in Hawaii begins with the settlement of Polynesians between 1st century to 10th century . Around 1200 AD Tahitian explorers found and began settling the area as well . This became the rise of the Hawaiian civilization and would be separated from the rest of the world for another 500 years until the arrival of the British . Europeans under the British explorer Captain James Cook arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1778 . Within five years of contact , European military technology would help Kamehameha I conquer most of the people , and eventually unify the islands for the first time ; establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii . Colonial period ( edit ) Main article : Colonial history of the United States European territorial claims in North America , c. 1750 France Great Britain Spain After a period of exploration sponsored by major European nations , the first successful English settlement was established in 1607 . Europeans brought horses , cattle , and hogs to the Americas and , in turn , took back to Europe maize , turkeys , potatoes , tobacco , beans , and squash . Many explorers and early settlers died after being exposed to new diseases in the Americas . The effects of new Eurasian diseases carried by the colonists , especially smallpox and measles , were much worse for the Native Americans , as they had no immunity to them . They suffered epidemics and died in very large numbers , usually before large - scale European settlement began . Their societies were disrupted and hollowed out by the scale of deaths . Spanish , Dutch , and French colonization ( edit ) Main articles : Spanish colonization of the Americas , Dutch colonization of the Americas , and French colonization of the Americas Spanish conquests of Continental United States The Spaniard Juan Ponce de León named Florida . The Spanish conquistador Coronado explored parts of the American Southwest from 1540 to 1542 . Spanish explorers were the first Europeans with Christopher Columbus ' second expedition , to reach Puerto Rico on November 19 , 1493 ; others reached Florida in 1513 . Spanish expeditions quickly reached the Appalachian Mountains , the Mississippi River , the Grand Canyon and the Great Plains . In 1540 , Hernando de Soto undertook an extensive exploration of the Southeast . In 1540 , Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explored from Arizona to central Kansas . Small Spanish settlements eventually grew to become important cities , such as San Antonio , Texas ; Albuquerque , New Mexico ; Tucson , Arizona ; Los Angeles , California ; and San Francisco , California . New Netherland was a 17th - century Dutch colony centered on present - day New York City and the Hudson River Valley ; the Dutch traded furs with the Native Americans to the north . The colony served as a barrier to expansion from New England . Despite being Calvinists and building the Reformed Church in America , the Dutch were tolerant of other religions and cultures . The colony , which was taken over by Britain in 1664 , left an enduring legacy on American cultural and political life . This includes secular broad - mindedness and mercantile pragmatism in the city as well as rural traditionalism in the countryside ( typified by the story of Rip Van Winkle ) . Notable Americans of Dutch descent include Martin Van Buren , Theodore Roosevelt , Franklin D. Roosevelt , Eleanor Roosevelt and the Frelinghuysens . New France was the area colonized by France from 1534 to 1763 . There were few permanent settlers outside Quebec and Acadia , but the French had far - reaching trading relationships with Native Americans throughout the Great Lakes and Midwest . French villages along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers were based in farming communities that served as a granary for Gulf Coast settlements . The French established plantations in Louisiana along with settling New Orleans , Mobile and Biloxi . The Wabanaki Confederacy were military allies of New France through the four French and Indian Wars while the British colonies were allied with the Iroquois Confederacy . During the French and Indian War -- the North American theater of the Seven Years ' War -- New England fought successfully against French Acadia . The British removed Acadians from Acadia ( Nova Scotia ) and replaced them with New England Planters . Eventually , some Acadians resettled in Louisiana , where they developed a distinctive rural Cajun culture that still exists . They became American citizens in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase . Other French villages along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers were absorbed when the Americans started arriving after 1770 , or settlers moved west to escape them . French influence and language in New Orleans , Louisiana and the Gulf Coast was more enduring ; New Orleans was notable for its large population of free people of color before the Civil War . British colonization ( edit ) Further information : British colonization of the Americas The Mayflower , which transported Pilgrims to the New World . During the first winter at Plymouth , about half of the Pilgrims died . The strip of land along the eastern seacoast was settled primarily by English colonists in the 17th century along with much smaller numbers of Dutch and Swedes . Colonial America was defined by a severe labor shortage that employed forms of unfree labor such as slavery and indentured servitude and by a British policy of benign neglect ( salutary neglect ) . Over half of all European immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants . Salutary neglect permitted the development of an American spirit distinct from that of its European founders . Squanto known for having been an early liaison between the native populations in Southern New England and the Mayflower settlers , who made their settlement at the site of Squanto 's former summer village . The first successful English colony , Jamestown , was established in 1607 on the James River in Virginia . Jamestown languished for decades until a new wave of settlers arrived in the late 17th century and established commercial agriculture based on tobacco . Between the late 1610s and the Revolution , the British shipped an estimated 50,000 to 120,000 convicts to their American colonies . A severe instance of conflict was the 1622 Powhatan uprising in Virginia in which Native Americans killed hundreds of English settlers . The largest conflicts between Native Americans and English settlers in the 17th century were King Philip 's War in New England and the Yamasee War in South Carolina . Jennie Augusta Brownscombe , The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth , 1914 , Pilgrim Hall Museum , Plymouth , Massachusetts New England was initially settled primarily by Puritans . The Pilgrims established a settlement in 1620 at Plymouth Colony , which was followed by the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 . The Middle Colonies , consisting of the present - day states of New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , and Delaware , were characterized by a large degree of diversity . The first attempted English settlement south of Virginia was the Province of Carolina , with Georgia Colony -- the last of the Thirteen Colonies -- established in 1733 . The Indian massacre of Jamestown settlers in 1622 . Soon the colonists in the South feared all natives as enemies . The colonies were characterized by people primarily of the Judeo - Christian faiths , with many Congregationalists in New England , German and Dutch Reformed in the Middle Colonies , Catholics in Maryland , and Scots - Irish Presbyterians on the frontier . Sephardic Jews were among early settlers in cities of New England and the South . Many immigrants arrived as religious refugees : French Huguenots settled in New York , Virginia and the Carolinas . Many royal officials and merchants were Anglicans . Religiosity expanded greatly after the First Great Awakening , a religious revival in the 1740s led by preachers such as Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield . American Evangelicals affected by the Awakening added a new emphasis on divine outpourings of the Holy Spirit and conversions that implanted within new believers an intense love for God . Revivals encapsulated those hallmarks and carried the newly created evangelicalism into the early republic , setting the stage for the Second Great Awakening beginning in the late 1790s . In the early stages , evangelicals in the South such as Methodists and Baptists preached for religious freedom and abolition of slavery ; they converted many slaves and recognized some as preachers . John Gadsby Chapman , The Baptism of Pocahontas ( 1840 ) . A copy is on display in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol . Each of the 13 American colonies had a slightly different governmental structure . Typically , a colony was ruled by a governor appointed from London who controlled the executive administration and relied upon a locally elected legislature to vote taxes and make laws . By the 18th century , the American colonies were growing very rapidly as a result of low death rates along with ample supplies of land and food . The colonies were richer than most parts of Britain , and attracted a steady flow of immigrants , especially teenagers who arrived as indentured servants . The tobacco and rice plantations imported African slaves for labor from the British colonies in the West Indies , and by the 1770s African slaves comprised a fifth of the American population . The question of independence from Britain did not arise as long as the colonies needed British military support against the French and Spanish powers . Those threats were gone by 1765 . London regarded the American colonies as existing for the benefit of the mother country . This policy is known as mercantilism . 18th century ( edit ) An upper - class , with wealth based on large plantations operated by slave labor , and holding significant political power and even control over the churches , emerged in South Carolina and Virginia . A unique class system operated in upstate New York , where Dutch tenant farmers rented land from very wealthy Dutch proprietors , such as the Rensselaer family . The other colonies were more equalitarian , with Pennsylvania being representative . By the mid-18th century Pennsylvania was basically a middle - class colony with limited deference to its small upper - class . A writer in the Pennsylvania Journal in 1756 summed it up : The People of this Province are generally of the middling Sort , and at present pretty much upon a Level . They are chiefly industrious Farmers , Artificers or Men in Trade ; they enjoy in are fond of Freedom , and the meanest among them thinks he has a right to Civility from the greatest . Political integration and autonomy ( edit ) Join , or Die : This 1756 political cartoon by Benjamin Franklin urged the colonies to join together during the French and Indian War . The French and Indian War ( 1754 -- 63 ) was a watershed event in the political development of the colonies . It was also part of the larger Seven Years ' War . The influence of the main rivals of the British Crown in the colonies and Canada , the French and North American Indians , was significantly reduced with the territory of the Thirteen Colonies expanding into New France both in Canada and the Louisiana Territory . Moreover , the war effort resulted in greater political integration of the colonies , as reflected in the Albany Congress and symbolized by Benjamin Franklin 's call for the colonies to `` Join or Die '' . Franklin was a man of many inventions -- one of which was the concept of a United States of America , which emerged after 1765 and was realized in July 1776 . Following Britain 's acquisition of French territory in North America , King George III issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 with the goal of organizing the new North American empire and protecting the native Indians from colonial expansion into western lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains . In ensuing years , strains developed in the relations between the colonists and the Crown . The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765 , imposing a tax on the colonies without going through the colonial legislatures . The issue was drawn : did Parliament have this right to tax Americans who were not represented in it ? Crying `` No taxation without representation '' , the colonists refused to pay the taxes as tensions escalated in the late 1760s and early 1770s . An 1846 painting of the 1773 Boston Tea Party . The population density in the American Colonies in 1775 . The Boston Tea Party in 1773 was a direct action by activists in the town of Boston to protest against the new tax on tea . Parliament quickly responded the next year with the Coercive Acts , stripping Massachusetts of its historic right of self - government and putting it under army rule , which sparked outrage and resistance in all thirteen colonies . Patriot leaders from all 13 colonies convened the First Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance to the Coercive Acts . The Congress called for a boycott of British trade , published a list of rights and grievances , and petitioned the king for redress of those grievances . The appeal to the Crown had no effect , and so the Second Continental Congress was convened in 1775 to organize the defense of the colonies against the British Army . Ordinary folk became insurgents against the British even though they were unfamiliar with the ideological rationales being offered . They held very strongly a sense of `` rights '' that they felt the British were deliberately violating -- rights that stressed local autonomy , fair dealing , and government by consent . They were highly sensitive to the issue of tyranny , which they saw manifested in the arrival in Boston of the British Army to punish the Bostonians . This heightened their sense of violated rights , leading to rage and demands for revenge . They had faith that God was on their side . The American Revolutionary War began at Concord and Lexington in April 1775 when the British tried to seize ammunition supplies and arrest the Patriot leaders . In terms of political values , the Americans were largely united on a concept called Republicanism , that rejected aristocracy and emphasized civic duty and a fear of corruption . For the Founding Fathers , according to one team of historians , `` republicanism represented more than a particular form of government . It was a way of life , a core ideology , an uncompromising commitment to liberty , and a total rejection of aristocracy . '' American Revolution ( edit ) Main articles : American Revolution and History of the United States ( 1776 -- 89 ) See also : Commemoration of the American Revolution Washington 's surprise crossing of the Delaware River in Dec. 1776 was a major comeback after the loss of New York City ; his army defeated the British in two battles and recaptured New Jersey . The Thirteen Colonies began a rebellion against British rule in 1775 and proclaimed their independence in 1776 as the United States of America . In the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 -- 83 ) the Americans captured the British invasion army at Saratoga in 1777 , secured the Northeast and encouraged the French to make a military alliance with the United States . France brought in Spain and the Netherlands , thus balancing the military and naval forces on each side as Britain had no allies . General George Washington ( 1732 -- 99 ) proved an excellent organizer and administrator , who worked successfully with Congress and the state governors , selecting and mentoring his senior officers , supporting and training his troops , and maintaining an idealistic Republican Army . His biggest challenge was logistics , since neither Congress nor the states had the funding to provide adequately for the equipment , munitions , clothing , paychecks , or even the food supply of the soldiers . As a battlefield tactician , Washington was often outmaneuvered by his British counterparts . As a strategist , however , he had a better idea of how to win the war than they did . The British sent four invasion armies . Washington 's strategy forced the first army out of Boston in 1776 , and was responsible for the surrender of the second and third armies at Saratoga ( 1777 ) and Yorktown ( 1781 ) . He limited the British control to New York City and a few places while keeping Patriot control of the great majority of the population . Trumbull 's Declaration of Independence The Loyalists , whom the British counted upon too heavily , comprised about 20 % of the population but never were well organized . As the war ended , Washington watched proudly as the final British army quietly sailed out of New York City in November 1783 , taking the Loyalist leadership with them . Washington astonished the world when , instead of seizing power for himself , he retired quietly to his farm in Virginia . Political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset observes , `` The United States was the first major colony successfully to revolt against colonial rule . In this sense , it was the first ' new nation ' . '' On July 4 , 1776 , the Second Continental Congress , meeting in Philadelphia , declared the independence of `` the United States of America '' in the Declaration of Independence . July 4 is celebrated as the nation 's birthday . Historian George Billias says : Independence amounted to a new status of interdependence : the United States was now a sovereign nation entitled to the privileges and responsibilities that came with that status . America thus became a member of the international community , which meant becoming a maker of treaties and alliances , a military ally in diplomacy , and a partner in foreign trade on a more equal basis . The new nation was founded on Enlightenment ideals of liberalism in what Thomas Jefferson called the unalienable rights to `` life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness '' , and dedicated strongly to republican principles . Republicanism emphasized the people are sovereign ( not hereditary kings ) , demanded civic duty , feared corruption , and rejected any aristocracy . Every nation constructs and honors the memory of its founding ; following generations use it to establish its identity and define patriotism . The Revolution became the main source of the non-denominational `` American civil religion '' that has shaped patriotism , and the memory and meaning of the nation 's birth ever since . Key events and people were viewed as icons of fundamental virtues . Thus the Revolution produced a Moses - like leader ( George Washington ) , prophets ( Thomas Jefferson , Tom Paine ) , disciples ( Alexander Hamilton , James Madison ) and martyrs ( Boston Massacre , Nathan Hale ) , as well as devils ( Benedict Arnold ) . There are sacred places ( Valley Forge , Bunker Hill ) , rituals ( Boston Tea Party ) , emblems ( the new flag ) , sacred days ( Independence Day ) , and sacred scriptures whose every sentence is carefully studied ( The Declaration of Independence , the Constitution and the Bill of Rights ) . Early years of the Republic ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1789 -- 1849 ) See also : First Party System and Second Party System Confederation and Constitution ( edit ) Further information : Articles of Confederation and History of the United States Constitution Economic growth in America per capita income . Index with 1700 set as 100 . In the 1780s the national government was able to settle the issue of the western territories , which were ceded by the states to Congress and became territories . With the migration of settlers to the Northwest , soon they became states . Nationalists worried that the new nation was too fragile to withstand an international war , or even internal revolts such as the Shays ' Rebellion of 1786 in Massachusetts . Nationalists -- most of them war veterans -- organized in every state and convinced Congress to call the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 . The delegates from every state wrote a new Constitution that created a much more powerful and efficient central government , one with a strong president , and powers of taxation . The new government reflected the prevailing republican ideals of guarantees of individual liberty and of constraining the power of government through a system of separation of powers . The Congress was given authority to ban the international slave trade after 20 years ( which it did in 1807 ) . A compromise gave the South Congressional apportionment out of proportion to its free population by allowing it to include three - fifths of the number of slaves in each state 's total population . This provision increased the political power of southern representatives in Congress , especially as slavery was extended into the Deep South through removal of Native Americans and transportation of slaves by an extensive domestic trade . To assuage the Anti-Federalists who feared a too - powerful national government , the nation adopted the United States Bill of Rights in 1791 . Comprising the first ten amendments of the Constitution , it guaranteed individual liberties such as freedom of speech and religious practice , jury trials , and stated that citizens and states had reserved rights ( which were not specified ) . The New chief executive ( edit ) George Washington legacy remains among the two or three greatest in American history , as Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army , hero of the Revolution , and the first President of the United States . George Washington -- a renowned hero of the American Revolutionary War , commander - in - chief of the Continental Army , and president of the Constitutional Convention -- became the first President of the United States under the new Constitution in 1789 . The national capital moved from New York to Philadelphia and finally settled in Washington DC in 1800 . The major accomplishments of the Washington Administration were creating a strong national government that was recognized without question by all Americans . His government , following the vigorous leadership of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton , assumed the debts of the states ( the debt holders received federal bonds ) , created the Bank of the United States to stabilize the financial system , and set up a uniform system of tariffs ( taxes on imports ) and other taxes to pay off the debt and provide a financial infrastructure . To support his programs Hamilton created a new political party -- the first in the world based on voters -- the Federalist Party . Thomas Jefferson and James Madison formed an opposition Republican Party ( usually called the Democratic - Republican Party by political scientists ) . Hamilton and Washington presented the country in 1794 with the Jay Treaty that reestablished good relations with Britain . The Jeffersonians vehemently protested , and the voters aligned behind one party or the other , thus setting up the First Party System . Depiction of election - day activities in Philadelphia by John Lewis Krimmel , 1815 Federalists promoted business , financial and commercial interests and wanted more trade with Britain . Republicans accused the Federalists of plans to establish a monarchy , turn the rich into a ruling class , and making the United States a pawn of the British . The treaty passed , but politics became intensely heated . The Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 , when western settlers protested against a federal tax on liquor , was the first serious test of the federal government . Washington called out the state militia and personally led an army , as the insurgents melted away and the power of the national government was firmly established . Washington refused to serve more than two terms -- setting a precedent -- and in his famous farewell address , he extolled the benefits of federal government and importance of ethics and morality while warning against foreign alliances and the formation of political parties . John Adams , a Federalist , defeated Jefferson in the 1796 election . War loomed with France and the Federalists used the opportunity to try to silence the Republicans with the Alien and Sedition Acts , build up a large army with Hamilton at the head , and prepare for a French invasion . However , the Federalists became divided after Adams sent a successful peace mission to France that ended the Quasi-War of 1798 . Slavery ( edit ) Main article : Slavery in the United States Slaves Waiting for Sale : Richmond , Virginia . Painted upon the sketch of 1853 During the first two decades after the Revolutionary War , there were dramatic changes in the status of slavery among the states and an increase in the number of freed blacks . Inspired by revolutionary ideals of the equality of men and influenced by their lesser economic reliance on slavery , northern states abolished slavery . States of the Upper South made manumission easier , resulting in an increase in the proportion of free blacks in the Upper South ( as a percentage of the total non-white population ) from less than one percent in 1792 to more than 10 percent by 1810 . By that date , a total of 13.5 percent of all blacks in the United States were free . After that date , with the demand for slaves on the rise because of the Deep South 's expanding cotton cultivation , the number of manumissions declined sharply ; and an internal U.S. slave trade became an important source of wealth for many planters and traders . In 1809 , president James Madison severed the US 's involvement with the Atlantic slave trade . 19th century ( edit ) Jeffersonian Republican Era ( edit ) Jefferson saw himself as a man of the frontier and a scientist ; he was keenly interested in expanding and exploring the West . Jefferson 's major achievement as president was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 , which provided U.S. settlers with vast potential for expansion west of the Mississippi River . Jefferson , a scientist himself , supported expeditions to explore and map the new domain , most notably the Lewis and Clark Expedition . Jefferson believed deeply in republicanism and argued it should be based on the independent yeoman farmer and planter ; he distrusted cities , factories and banks . He also distrusted the federal government and judges , and tried to weaken the judiciary . However he met his match in John Marshall , a Federalist from Virginia . Although the Constitution specified a Supreme Court , its functions were vague until Marshall , the Chief Justice ( 1801 -- 35 ) , defined them , especially the power to overturn acts of Congress or states that violated the Constitution , first enunciated in 1803 in Marbury v. Madison . War of 1812 ( edit ) Main article : War of 1812 Territorial expansion ; Louisiana Purchase in white . Thomas Jefferson defeated Adams for the presidency in the 1800 election . Americans were increasingly angry at the British violation of American ships ' neutral rights in order to hurt France , the impressment ( seizure ) of 10,000 American sailors needed by the Royal Navy to fight Napoleon , and British support for hostile Indians attacking American settlers in the Midwest . They may also have desired to annex all or part of British North America . Despite strong opposition from the Northeast , especially from Federalists who did not want to disrupt trade with Britain , Congress declared war on June 18 , 1812 . Oliver Hazard Perry 's message to William Henry Harrison after the Battle of Lake Erie began with what would become one of the most famous sentences in American military history : `` We have met the enemy and they are ours ''. ( citation needed ) This 1865 painting by William H. Powell shows Perry transferring to a different ship during the battle . The war was frustrating for both sides . Both sides tried to invade the other and were repulsed . The American high command remained incompetent until the last year . The American militia proved ineffective because the soldiers were reluctant to leave home and efforts to invade Canada repeatedly failed . The British blockade ruined American commerce , bankrupted the Treasury , and further angered New Englanders , who smuggled supplies to Britain . The Americans under General William Henry Harrison finally gained naval control of Lake Erie and defeated the Indians under Tecumseh in Canada , while Andrew Jackson ended the Indian threat in the Southeast . The Indian threat to expansion into the Midwest was permanently ended . The British invaded and occupied much of Maine . The British raided and burned Washington , but were repelled at Baltimore in 1814 -- where the `` Star Spangled Banner '' was written to celebrate the American success . In upstate New York a major British invasion of New York State was turned back . Finally in early 1815 Andrew Jackson decisively defeated a major British invasion at the Battle of New Orleans , making him the most famous war hero . With Napoleon ( apparently ) gone , the causes of the war had evaporated and both sides agreed to a peace that left the prewar boundaries intact . Americans claimed victory on February 18 , 1815 as news came almost simultaneously of Jackson 's victory of New Orleans and the peace treaty that left the prewar boundaries in place . Americans swelled with pride at success in the `` second war of independence '' ; the naysayers of the antiwar Federalist Party were put to shame and the party never recovered . The Indians were the big losers ; they never gained the independent nationhood Britain had promised and no longer posed a serious threat as settlers poured into the Midwest . Era of good feelings ( edit ) Main article : Era of Good Feelings Era of Good Feelings As strong opponents of the war , the Federalists held the Hartford Convention in 1814 that hinted at disunion . National euphoria after the victory at New Orleans ruined the prestige of the Federalists and they no longer played a significant role as a political party . President Madison and most Republicans realized they were foolish to let the Bank of the United States close down , for its absence greatly hindered the financing of the war . So , with the assistance of foreign bankers , they chartered the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 . Settlers crossing the Plains of Nebraska . The Republicans also imposed tariffs designed to protect the infant industries that had been created when Britain was blockading the U.S. With the collapse of the Federalists as a party , the adoption of many Federalist principles by the Republicans , and the systematic policy of President James Monroe in his two terms ( 1817 -- 25 ) to downplay partisanship , the nation entered an Era of Good Feelings , with far less partisanship than before ( or after ) , and closed out the First Party System . The Monroe Doctrine , expressed in 1823 , proclaimed the United States ' opinion that European powers should no longer colonize or interfere in the Americas . This was a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States . The Monroe Doctrine was adopted in response to American and British fears over Russian and French expansion into the Western Hemisphere . In 1832 , President Andrew Jackson , 7th President of the United States , ran for a second term under the slogan `` Jackson and no bank '' and did not renew the charter of the Second Bank of the United States of America , ending the Bank in 1836 . Jackson was convinced that central banking was used by the elite to take advantage of the average American , and instead implemented state banks , popularly known as `` pet banks . '' Indian removal ( edit ) Main article : Indian removal The Indian Removal Act resulted in the transplantation of several Native American tribes and the Trail of Tears . In 1830 , Congress passed the Indian Removal Act , which authorized the president to negotiate treaties that exchanged Native American tribal lands in the eastern states for lands west of the Mississippi River . Its goal was primarily to remove Native Americans , including the Five Civilized Tribes , from the American Southeast ; they occupied land that settlers wanted . Jacksonian Democrats demanded the forcible removal of native populations who refused to acknowledge state laws to reservations in the West ; Whigs and religious leaders opposed the move as inhumane . Thousands of deaths resulted from the relocations , as seen in the Cherokee Trail of Tears . Many of the Seminole Indians in Florida refused to move west ; they fought the Army for years in the Seminole Wars . Second Party system ( edit ) Main articles : Second Party System and Presidency of Andrew Jackson Henry Clay After the First Party System of Federalists and Republicans withered away in the 1820s , the stage was set for the emergence of a new party system based on well organized local parties that appealed for the votes of ( almost ) all adult white men . The former Jeffersonian ( Democratic - Republican ) party split into factions . They split over the choice of a successor to President James Monroe , and the party faction that supported many of the old Jeffersonian principles , led by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren , became the Democratic Party . As Norton explains the transformation in 1828 : Jacksonians believed the people 's will had finally prevailed . Through a lavishly financed coalition of state parties , political leaders , and newspaper editors , a popular movement had elected the president . The Democrats became the nation 's first well - organized national party ... and tight party organization became the hallmark of nineteenth - century American politics . Opposing factions led by Henry Clay helped form the Whig Party . The Democratic Party had a small but decisive advantage over the Whigs until the 1850s , when the Whigs fell apart over the issue of slavery . Behind the platforms issued by state and national parties stood a widely shared political outlook that characterized the Democrats : Horace Greeley 's New York Tribune -- the leading Whig paper -- endorsed Clay for President and Fillmore for Governor , 1844 . The Democrats represented a wide range of views but shared a fundamental commitment to the Jeffersonian concept of an agrarian society . They viewed the central government as the enemy of individual liberty . The 1824 `` corrupt bargain '' had strengthened their suspicion of Washington politics ... Jacksonians feared the concentration of economic and political power . They believed that government intervention in the economy benefited special - interest groups and created corporate monopolies that favored the rich . They sought to restore the independence of the individual ( the `` common man , '' i.e. the artisan and the ordinary farmer ) by ending federal support of banks and corporations and restricting the use of paper currency , which they distrusted . Their definition of the proper role of government tended to be negative , and Jackson 's political power was largely expressed in negative acts . He exercised the veto more than all previous presidents combined . Jackson and his supporters also opposed reform as a movement . Reformers eager to turn their programs into legislation called for a more active government . But Democrats tended to oppose programs like educational reform mid the establishment of a public education system . They believed , for instance , that public schools restricted individual liberty by interfering with parental responsibility and undermined freedom of religion by replacing church schools . Nor did Jackson share reformers ' humanitarian concerns . He had no sympathy for American Indians , initiating the removal of the Cherokees along the Trail of Tears . Second Great Awakening ( edit ) Main article : Second Great Awakening A drawing of a Protestant camp meeting , 1829 . The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant revival movement that affected the entire nation during the early 19th century and led to rapid church growth . The movement began around 1790 , gained momentum by 1800 , and , after 1820 membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations , whose preachers led the movement . It was past its peak by the 1840s . It enrolled millions of new members in existing evangelical denominations and led to the formation of new denominations . Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age . The Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements -- including abolitionism and temperance designed to remove the evils of society before the anticipated Second Coming of Jesus Christ . Abolitionism ( edit ) Main article : Abolitionism in the United States Officers and men of the Irish - Catholic 69th New York Volunteer Regiment attend Catholic services in 1861 . After 1840 the abolitionist movement redefined itself as a crusade against the sin of slave ownership . It mobilized support ( especially among religious women in the Northeast affected by the Second Great Awakening ) . William Lloyd Garrison , a radical abolitionist , published the most influential of the many anti-slavery newspapers , The Liberator , while Frederick Douglass , an ex-slave , began writing for that newspaper around 1840 and started his own abolitionist newspaper North Star in 1847 . The great majority of anti-slavery activists , such as Abraham Lincoln , rejected Garrison 's theology and held that slavery was an unfortunate social evil , not a sin . Westward expansion and manifest Destiny ( edit ) Main article : American frontier The American colonies and the new nation grew rapidly in population and area , as pioneers pushed the frontier of settlement west . The process finally ended around 1890 -- 1912 as the last major farmlands and ranch lands were settled . Native American tribes in some places resisted militarily , but they were overwhelmed by settlers and the army and after 1830 were relocated to reservations in the west . The highly influential `` Frontier Thesis '' of Wisconsin historian Frederick Jackson Turner argues that the frontier shaped the national character , with its boldness , violence , innovation , individualism , and democracy . The California Gold Rush news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad . Recent historians have emphasized the multicultural nature of the frontier . Enormous popular attention in the media focuses on the `` Wild West '' of the second half of the 19th century . As defined by Hine and Faragher , `` frontier history tells the story of the creation and defense of communities , the use of the land , the development of markets , and the formation of states '' . They explain , `` It is a tale of conquest , but also one of survival , persistence , and the merging of peoples and cultures that gave birth and continuing life to America . '' The first settlers in the west were the Spanish in New Mexico ; they became U.S. citizens in 1848 . The Hispanics in California ( `` Californios '' ) were overwhelmed by over 100,000 gold rush miners . California grew explosively . San Francisco by 1880 had become the economic hub of the entire Pacific Coast with a diverse population of a quarter million . From the early 1830s to 1869 , the Oregon Trail and its many offshoots were used by over 300,000 settlers . ' 49ers ( in the California Gold Rush ) , ranchers , farmers , and entrepreneurs and their families headed to California , Oregon , and other points in the far west . Wagon - trains took five or six months on foot ; after 1869 , the trip took 6 days by rail . Manifest Destiny was the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across the continent . This concept was born out of `` A sense of mission to redeem the Old World by high example ... generated by the potentialities of a new earth for building a new heaven . '' Manifest Destiny was rejected by modernizers , especially the Whigs like Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln who wanted to build cities and factories -- not more farms . Democrats strongly favored expansion , and won the key election of 1844 . After a bitter debate in Congress the Republic of Texas was annexed in 1845 , leading to war with Mexico , who considered Texas to be a part of Mexico due to the large numbers of Mexican settlers . The American occupation of Mexico City in 1848 The Mexican -- American War ( 1846 -- 48 ) broke out with the Whigs opposed to the war , and the Democrats supporting the war . The U.S. army , using regulars and large numbers of volunteers , defeated the Mexican armies , invaded at several points , captured Mexico City and won decisively . The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war in 1848 . Many Democrats wanted to annex all of Mexico , but that idea was rejected by southerners who argued that by incorporating millions of Mexican people , mainly of mixed race , would undermine the United States as an exclusively white republic . Instead the U.S. took Texas and the lightly settled northern parts ( California and New Mexico ) . The Hispanic residents were given full citizenship and the Mexican Indians became American Indians . Simultaneously , gold was discovered in California in 1849 , attracting over 100,000 men to northern California in a matter of months in the California Gold Rush . A peaceful compromise with Britain gave the U.S. ownership of the Oregon Country , which was renamed the Oregon Territory . Divisions between North and South ( edit ) Main articles : Origins of the American Civil War and History of the United States ( 1849 -- 65 ) United States map , 1863 Union states Union territories not permitting slavery Border Union states , permitting slavery Confederate states Union territories permitting slavery ( claimed by Confederacy ) The central issue after 1848 was the expansion of slavery , pitting the anti-slavery elements in the North , against the pro-slavery elements that dominated the South . A small number of active Northerners were abolitionists who declared that ownership of slaves was a sin ( in terms of Protestant theology ) and demanded its immediate abolition . Much larger numbers in the North were against the expansion of slavery , seeking to put it on the path to extinction so that America would be committed to free land ( as in low - cost farms owned and cultivated by a family ) , free labor , and free speech ( as opposed to censorship of abolitionist material in the South ) . Southern whites insisted that slavery was of economic , social , and cultural benefit to all whites ( and even to the slaves themselves ) , and denounced all anti-slavery spokesmen as `` abolitionists . '' Justifications of slavery included economics , history , religion , legality , social good , and even humanitarianism , to further their arguments . Defenders of slavery argued that the sudden end to the slave economy would have had a profound and killing economic impact in the South where reliance on slave labor was the foundation of their economy . They also argued that if all the slaves were freed , there would be widespread unemployment and chaos . Religious activists split on slavery , with the Methodists and Baptists dividing into northern and southern denominations . In the North , the Methodists , Congregationalists , and Quakers included many abolitionists , especially among women activists . ( The Catholic , Episcopal and Lutheran denominations largely ignored the slavery issue . ) The issue of slavery in the new territories was seemingly settled by the Compromise of 1850 , brokered by Whig Henry Clay and Democrat Stephen Douglas ; the Compromise included the admission of California as a free state in exchange for no federal restrictions on slavery placed on Utah or New Mexico . The point of contention was the Fugitive Slave Act , which increased federal enforcement and required even free states to cooperate in turning over fugitive slaves to their owners . Abolitionists pounced on the Act to attack slavery , as in the best - selling anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom 's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe . The Compromise of 1820 was repealed in 1854 with the Kansas -- Nebraska Act , promoted by Senator Douglas in the name of `` popular sovereignty '' and democracy . It permitted voters to decide on the legality slavery in each territory , and allowed Douglas to adopt neutrality on the issue of slavery . Anti-slavery forces rose in anger and alarm , forming the new Republican Party . Pro - and anti - contingents rushed to Kansas to vote slavery up or down , resulting in a miniature civil war called Bleeding Kansas . By the late 1850s , the young Republican Party dominated nearly all northern states and thus the electoral college . It insisted that slavery would never be allowed to expand ( and thus would slowly die out ) . The Southern slavery - based societies had become wealthy based on their cotton and other agricultural commodity production , and some particularly profited from the internal slave trade . Northern cities such as Boston and New York , and regional industries , were tied economically to slavery by banking , shipping , and manufacturing , including textile mills . By 1860 , there were four million slaves in the South , nearly eight times as many as there were nationwide in 1790 . The plantations were highly profitable , due to the heavy European demand for raw cotton . Most of the profits were invested in new lands and in purchasing more slaves ( largely drawn from the declining tobacco regions ) . The United States , immediately before the Civil War . All of the lands east of , or bordering , the Mississippi River were organized as states in the Union , but the West was still largely unsettled . For 50 of the nation 's first 72 years , a slaveholder served as President of the United States and , during that period , only slaveholding presidents were re-elected to second terms . In addition , southern states benefited by their increased apportionment in Congress due to the partial counting of slaves in their populations . Slave rebellions , by Gabriel Prosser ( 1800 ) , Denmark Vesey ( 1822 ) , Nat Turner ( 1831 ) , and most famously by John Brown ( 1859 ) , caused fear in the white South , which imposed stricter oversight of slaves and reduced the rights of free blacks . The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required the states to cooperate with slave owners when attempting to recover escaped slaves , which outraged Northerners . Formerly , an escaped slave that reached a non-slave state was presumed to have attained sanctuary and freedom under the Missouri Compromise . The Supreme Court 's 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional ; angry Republicans said this decision threatened to make slavery a national institution . After Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 election , seven Southern states seceded from the union and set up a new nation , the Confederate States of America ( Confederacy ) , on February 8 , 1861 . It attacked Fort Sumter , a U.S. Army fort in South Carolina , thus igniting the war . When Lincoln called for troops to suppress the Confederacy in April 1861 , four more states seceded and joined the Confederacy . A few of the ( northernmost ) `` slave states '' did not secede and became known as the border states ; these were Delaware , Maryland , Kentucky , and Missouri . During the war , the northwestern portion of Virginia seceded from the Confederacy . and became the new Union state of West Virginia . West Virginia is usually associated with the border states . Civil War ( edit ) Main article : American Civil War The Union had large advantages in men and resources at the start of the war . The ratio grew steadily in favor of the Union . The Civil War began on April 12 , 1861 , when elements of 100,000 Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina . In response to the attack , on April 15 , Lincoln called on the states to send detachments totaling 75,000 troops to recapture forts , protect the capital , and `` preserve the Union '' , which in his view still existed intact despite the actions of the seceding states . The two armies had their first major clash at the First Battle of Bull Run ( Battle of Manassas ) , ending in a Union defeat , but , more importantly , proved to both the Union and Confederacy that the war would be much longer and bloodier than originally anticipated . Lincoln with Allan Pinkerton and Major General John Alexander McClernand at the Battle of Antietam . The war soon divided into two theaters : Eastern and Western . In the western theater , the Union was relatively successful , with major battles , such as Perryville and Shiloh along with Union gunboat dominance of navigable rivers producing strategic Union victories and destroying major Confederate operations . Warfare in the Eastern theater began poorly for the Union as the Confederates won at Manassas Junction ( Bull Run ) , just outside Washington . Major General George B. McClellan was put in charge of the Union armies . After reorganizing the new Army of the Potomac , McClellan failed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond , Virginia in his Peninsula Campaign and retreated after attacks from newly appointed Confederate General Robert E. Lee . Meanwhile , both sides concentrated in 1861 -- 62 on raising and training new armies . The main action was Union success in controlling the border states , with Confederates largely driven out of Maryland , West Virginia ( a new state ) , Kentucky and Missouri . The autumn 1862 Confederate campaign into Maryland was designed to hurt Union morale and win European support . It ended with Confederate retreat at the Battle of Antietam , and Lincoln 's warning he would issue an Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863 if the states did not return . Making slavery a central war goal Energized Republicans in the North , as well as their enemies , the anti-war Copperhead Democrats . It ended the risk of British and French intervention . Lee 's smaller army won at the Battle of Fredericksburg late in 1862 , causing yet another change in commanders . Lee won again at the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863 , while losing his top aide , Stonewall Jackson . But Lee pushed too hard and ignored the Union threat in the west . Lee invaded Pennsylvania in search of supplies and to cause war - weariness in the North . In perhaps the turning point of the war , Lee 's army was badly beaten at the Battle of Gettysburg , July 1 -- 3 , 1863 , and barely made it back to Virginia . On the homefront , industrial expansion in the North expanded dramatically , using its extensive railroad service , and moving industrial workers into munitions factories . Foreign trade increased , with the United States providing both food and cotton to Britain , And Britain sending in manufactured products and thousands of volunteers for the Union Army ( plus a few to the Confederates ) . The British operated blockade runners bringing in food , luxury items and munitions to the Confederacy , bringing out tobacco and cotton . The Union blockade increasingly shut down Confederate ports , and by late 1864 the blockade runners Were usually captured before they could make more than handful of runs . The Battle of Franklin , November 30 , 1864 . In the West , on July 4 , 1863 , Union forces under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant gained control of the Mississippi River at the Battle of Vicksburg , thereby splitting the Confederacy . Lincoln made General Grant commander of all Union armies . Grant put General William Tecumseh Sherman in charge of the Western armies . In 1864 , Sherman marched south from Chattanooga to capture Atlanta , a decisive victory that ended war jitters among Republicans in the North who feared they might fail to reelect Lincoln in 1864 . Lincoln won a landslide . The last two years of the war were bloody for both sides , With Sherman marching almost unopposed through central and eastern Georgia , then moving up through South Carolina and North Carolina , burning cities , destroying plantations , ruining railroads and bridges , but avoiding civilian casualties . Sherman demonstrated that the South line the long - term ability to resist a northern invasion . Much of the heartland of the Confederacy was physically destroyed , and could no longer provide desperately needed food , horses , mules , wagons , boots or munitions to its combat armies . In spring 1864 Grant , realizing that Lee was unable to replenishes casualties , while Lincoln would provide replacements for Union losses , launched a war of attrition against Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia . This war of attrition was divided into three main campaigns . The first of these , the Overland Campaign forced Lee to retreat into the city of Petersburg where Grant launched his second major offensive , the Richmond - Petersburg Campaign in which he besieged Petersburg . After a near ten - month siege , Petersburg surrendered . However , the defense of Fort Gregg allowed Lee to move his army out of Petersburg . Grant pursued and launched the final , Appomattox Campaign which resulted in Lee surrendering his Army of Northern Virginia numbering 28,000 on April 9 , 1865 , at Appomattox Court House . Other Confederate armies followed suit and the war ended with no postwar insurgency . The American Civil War was the world 's earliest industrial war . Railroads , the telegraph , steamships , and mass - produced weapons were employed extensively . The mobilization of civilian factories , mines , shipyards , banks , transportation and food supplies all foreshadowed the impact of industrialization in World War I. It remains the deadliest war in American history , resulting in the deaths of about 750,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties . About ten percent of all Northern males 20 -- 45 years old , and 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18 -- 40 died . Its legacy includes ending slavery in the United States , restoring the Union , and strengthening the role of the federal government . According to historian Allan Nevins the Civil War had a major long - term impact on the United States in terms of developing its leadership potential and moving the entire nation beyond the adolescent stage : The fighting and its attendant demands upon industry , finance , medicine , and law also helped train a host of leaders who during the next 35 years , to 1900 , made their influence powerfully felt on most of the social , economic , and cultural fronts . It broke down barriers of parochialism ; it ended distrust of large - scale effort ; it hardened and matured the whole people emotionally . The adolescent land of the 1850s ... rose under the blows of battle to adult estate . The nation of the post-Appomattox generation , though sadly hurt ( especially in the South ) by war losses , and deeply scarred psychologically ( especially in the North ) by war hatreds and greeds , had at last the power , resolution , and self - trust of manhood . Emancipation ( edit ) See also : Military history of African Americans in the American Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln by Francis Bicknell Carpenter ( People in the image are clickable . ) The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1 , 1863 . In a single stroke it changed the legal status , as recognized by the U.S. government , of 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy from `` slave '' to `` free . '' It had the practical effect that as soon as a slave escaped the control of the Confederate government , by running away or through advances of federal troops , the slave became legally and actually free . The owners were never compensated . Plantation owners , realizing that emancipation would destroy their economic system , sometimes moved their slaves as far as possible out of reach of the Union army . By June 1865 , the Union Army controlled all of the Confederacy and liberated all of the designated slaves . Large numbers moved into camps run by the Freedmen 's Bureau , where they were given food , shelter , medical care , and arrangements for their employment were made . The severe dislocations of war and Reconstruction had a large negative impact on the black population , with a large amount of sickness and death . Reconstruction Era ( edit ) Main article : Reconstruction Era See also : History of the United States ( 1865 -- 1918 ) Freedmen voting in New Orleans , 1867 . Reconstruction lasted from Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1 , 1863 to the Compromise of 1877 . The major issues faced by Lincoln were the status of the ex-slaves ( called `` Freedmen '' ) , the loyalty and civil rights of ex-rebels , the status of the 11 ex-Confederate states , the powers of the federal government needed to prevent a future civil war , and the question of whether Congress or the President would make the major decisions . The severe threats of starvation and displacement of the unemployed Freedmen were met by the first major federal relief agency , the Freedmen 's Bureau , operated by the Army . Three `` Reconstruction Amendments '' were passed to expand civil rights for black Americans : the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery ; the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed equal rights for all and citizenship for blacks ; the Fifteenth Amendment prevented race from being used to disfranchise men . Ex-Confederates remained in control of most Southern states for over two years , but changed when the Radical Republicans gained control of Congress in the 1866 elections . President Andrew Johnson , who sought easy terms for reunions with ex-rebels , was virtually powerless in the face of the Radical Republican Congress ; he was impeached , but the Senate 's attempt to remove him from office failed by one vote . Congress enfranchised black men and temporarily stripped many ex-Confederate leaders of the right to hold office . New Republican governments came to power based on a coalition of Freedmen made up of Carpetbaggers ( new arrivals from the North ) , and Scalawags ( native white Southerners ) . They were backed by the U.S. Army . Opponents said they were corrupt and violated the rights of whites . Atlanta 's railyard and roundhouse in ruins shortly after the end of the Civil War State by state they lost power to a conservative - Democratic coalition , which gained control of the entire South by 1877 . In response to Radical Reconstruction , the Ku Klux Klan ( KKK ) emerged in 1867 as a white - supremacist organization opposed to black civil rights and Republican rule . President Ulysses Grant 's vigorous enforcement of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1870 shut down the Klan , and it disbanded . Paramilitary groups , such as the White League and Red Shirts emerged about 1874 that worked openly to use intimidation and violence to suppress black voting to regain white political power in states across the South during the 1870s . Rable described them as the military arm of the Democratic Party . Reconstruction ended after the disputed 1876 election . The Compromise of 1877 gave Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes the White House in exchange for removing all remaining federal troops in the South . The federal government withdrew its troops from the South , and Southern Democrats took control of every Southern state . From 1890 to 1908 , southern states effectively disfranchised most black voters and many poor whites by making voter registration more difficult through poll taxes , literacy tests , and other arbitrary devices . They passed segregation laws and imposed second - class status on blacks in a system known as Jim Crow that lasted until the Civil Rights Movement . The West and the Gilded Age ( edit ) Main article : Gilded Age The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad ( 1869 ) at First Transcontinental Railroad , by Andrew J. Russell . The latter half of the nineteenth century was marked by the rapid development and settlement of the far West , first by wagon trains and riverboats and then aided by the completion of the transcontinental railroad . Large numbers of European immigrants ( especially from Germany and Scandinavia ) took up low - cost or free farms in the Prairie States . Mining for silver and copper opened up the Mountain West . The United States Army fought frequent small - scale wars with Native Americans as settlers encroached on their traditional lands . Gradually the U.S. purchased the Native American tribal lands and extinguished their claims , forcing most tribes onto subsidized reservations . According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census ( 1894 ) , from 1789 to 1894 : The Indian wars under the government of the United States have been more than 40 in number . They have cost the lives of about 19,000 white men , women and children , including those killed in individual combats , and the lives of about 30,000 Indians . The actual number of killed and wounded Indians must be very much higher than the given ... Fifty percent additional would be a safe estimate ... Scottish immigrant Andrew Carnegie led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry . The `` Gilded Age '' was a term that Mark Twain used to describe the period of the late 19th century with a dramatic expansion of American wealth and prosperity , underscored by the mass corruption in the government . Reforms of the Age included the Civil Service Act , which mandated a competitive examination for applicants for government jobs . Other important legislation included the Interstate Commerce Act , which ended railroads ' discrimination against small shippers , and the Sherman Antitrust Act , which outlawed monopolies in business . Twain believed that this age was corrupted by such elements as land speculators , scandalous politics , and unethical business practices . Since the days of Charles A. Beard and Matthew Josephson , some historians have argued that the United States was effectively plutocratic for at least part of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era . As financiers and industrialists such as J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller began to amass vast fortunes , many U.S. observers were concerned that the nation was losing its pioneering egalitarian spirit . By 1890 American industrial production and per capita income exceeded those of all other world nations . In response to heavy debts and decreasing farm prices , wheat and cotton farmers joined the Populist Party . An unprecedented wave of immigration from Europe served to both provide the labor for American industry and create diverse communities in previously undeveloped areas . From 1880 to 1914 , peak years of immigration , more than 22 million people migrated to the United States . Most were unskilled workers who quickly found jobs in mines , mills , factories . Many immigrants were craftsmen ( especially from Britain and Germany ) bringing human skills , and others were farmers ( especially from Germany and Scandinavia ) who purchased inexpensive land on the Prairies from railroads who sent agents to Europe . Poverty , growing inequality and dangerous working conditions , along with socialist and anarchist ideas diffusing from European immigrants , led to the rise of the labor movement , which often included violent strikes . Skilled workers banded together to control their crafts and raise wages by forming labor unions in industrial areas of the Northeast . Before the 1930s few factory workers joined the unions in the labor movement . Samuel Gompers led the American Federation of Labor ( 1886 -- 1924 ) , coordinating multiple unions . Industrial growth was rapid , led by John D. Rockefeller in oil and Andrew Carnegie in steel ; both became leaders of philanthropy ( Gospel of Wealth ) , giving away their fortunes to create the modern system of hospitals , universities , libraries , and foundations . Mulberry Street , along which Manhattan 's Little Italy is centered . Lower East Side , circa 1900 . Almost 97 % of residents of the 10 largest American cities of 1900 were non-Hispanic whites . The Panic of 1893 broke out and was a severe nationwide depression impacting farmers , workers , and businessmen who saw prices , wages , and profits fall . Many railroads went bankrupt . The resultant political reaction fell on the Democratic Party , whose leader President Grover Cleveland shouldered much of the blame . Labor unrest involved numerous strikes , most notably the violent Pullman Strike of 1894 , which was shut down by federal troops under Cleveland 's orders . The Populist Party gained strength among cotton and wheat farmers , as well as coal miners , but was overtaken by the even more popular Free Silver movement , which demanded using silver to enlarge the money supply , leading to inflation that the silverites promised would end the depression . The financial , railroad , and business communities fought back hard , arguing that only the gold standard would save the economy . In the most intense election in the nation 's history , conservative Republican William McKinley defeated silverite William Jennings Bryan , who ran on the Democratic , Populist , and Silver Republican tickets . Bryan swept the South and West , but McKinley ran up landslides among the middle class , industrial workers , cities , and among upscale farmers in the Midwest . Prosperity returned under McKinley , the gold standard was enacted , and the tariff was raised . By 1900 the U.S. had the strongest economy on the globe . Apart from two short recessions ( in 1907 and 1920 ) the overall economy remained prosperous and growing until 1929 . Republicans , citing McKinley 's policies , took the credit . 20th century ( edit ) Progressive Era ( edit ) Main article : Progressive Era American children of many ethnic backgrounds celebrate noisily in a 1902 Puck cartoon . Dissatisfaction on the part of the growing middle class with the corruption and inefficiency of politics as usual , and the failure to deal with increasingly important urban and industrial problems , led to the dynamic Progressive Movement starting in the 1890s . In every major city and state , and at the national level as well , and in education , medicine , and industry , the progressives called for the modernization and reform of decrepit institutions , the elimination of corruption in politics , and the introduction of efficiency as a criterion for change . Leading politicians from both parties , most notably Theodore Roosevelt , Charles Evans Hughes , and Robert La Follette on the Republican side , and William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson on the Democratic side , took up the cause of progressive reform . Women became especially involved in demands for woman suffrage , prohibition , and better schools ; their most prominent leader was Jane Addams of Chicago , who created settlement houses . `` Muckraking '' journalists such as Upton Sinclair , Lincoln Steffens and Jacob Riis exposed corruption in business and government along with rampant inner city poverty . Progressives implemented anti-trust laws and regulated such industries of meat - packing , drugs , and railroads . Four new constitutional amendments -- the Sixteenth through Nineteenth -- resulted from progressive activism , bringing the federal income tax , direct election of Senators , prohibition , and woman suffrage . The Progressive Movement lasted through the 1920s ; the most active period was 1900 -- 18 . Imperialism ( edit ) Further information : American imperialism This cartoon reflects the view of Judge magazine regarding America 's imperial ambitions following a quick victory in the Spanish -- American War of 1898 . The American flag flies from the Philippines and Hawaii in the Pacific to Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean . The United States emerged as a world economic and military power after 1890 . The main episode was the Spanish -- American War , which began when Spain refused American demands to reform its oppressive policies in Cuba . The `` splendid little war '' , as one official called it , involved a series of quick American victories on land and at sea . At the Treaty of Paris peace conference the United States acquired the Philippines , Puerto Rico , and Guam . Cuba became an independent country , under close American tutelage . Although the war itself was widely popular , the peace terms proved controversial . William Jennings Bryan led his Democratic Party in opposition to control of the Philippines , which he denounced as imperialism unbecoming to American democracy . President William McKinley defended the acquisition and was riding high as the nation had returned to prosperity and felt triumphant in the war . McKinley easily defeated Bryan in a rematch in the 1900 presidential election . After defeating an insurrection by Filipino nationalists , the United States engaged in a large - scale program to modernize the economy of the Philippines and dramatically upgrade the public health facilities . By 1908 , however , Americans lost interest in an empire and turned their international attention to the Caribbean , especially the building of the Panama Canal . In 1912 when Arizona became the final mainland state , the American Frontier came to an end . The canal opened in 1914 and increased trade with Japan and the rest of the Far East . A key innovation was the Open Door Policy , whereby the imperial powers were given equal access to Chinese business , with not one of them allowed to take control of China . World War I ( edit ) Main articles : American entry into World War I and United States home front during World War I American Cemetery at Romagne - sous - Montfaucon As World War I raged in Europe from 1914 , President Woodrow Wilson took full control of foreign policy , declaring neutrality but warning Germany that resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare against American ships supplying goods to Allied nations would mean war . Germany decided to take the risk and try to win by cutting off supplies to Britain through the sinking of ships such as the RMS Lusitania ; the U.S. declared war in April 1917 mainly from the threat of the Zimmermann telegram . American money , food , and munitions arrived quickly , but troops had to be drafted and trained ; by summer 1918 American soldiers under General John J. Pershing arrived at the rate of 10,000 a day , while Germany was unable to replace its losses . The result was Allied victory in November 1918 . President Wilson demanded Germany depose the Kaiser and accept his terms in the famed Fourteen Points speech . Wilson dominated the 1919 Paris Peace Conference but Germany was treated harshly by the Allies in the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919 ) as Wilson put all his hopes in the new League of Nations . Wilson refused to compromise with Senate Republicans over the issue of Congressional power to declare war , and the Senate rejected the Treaty and the League . Women 's suffrage ( edit ) Further information : Women 's suffrage in the United States Women suffragists demonstrating for the right to vote in 1913 . The women 's suffrage movement began with the June 1848 National Convention of the Liberty Party . Presidential candidate Gerrit Smith argued for and established women 's suffrage as a party plank . One month later , his cousin Elizabeth Cady Stanton joined with Lucretia Mott and other women to organize the Seneca Falls Convention , featuring the Declaration of Sentiments demanding equal rights for women , and the right to vote . Many of these activists became politically aware during the abolitionist movement . The women 's rights campaign during `` first - wave feminism '' was led by Stanton , Lucy Stone and Susan B. Anthony , among many others . Stone and Paulina Wright Davis organized the prominent and influential National Women 's Rights Convention in 1850 . The movement reorganized after the Civil War , gaining experienced campaigners , many of whom had worked for prohibition in the Women 's Christian Temperance Union . By the end of the 19th century a few western states had granted women full voting rights , though women had made significant legal victories , gaining rights in areas such as property and child custody . Women 's suffragists parade in New York City in 1917 , carrying placards with signatures of more than a million women . Around 1912 the feminist movement began to reawaken , putting an emphasis on its demands for equality and arguing that the corruption of American politics demanded purification by women because men could not do that job . Protests became increasingly common as suffragette Alice Paul led parades through the capital and major cities . Paul split from the large National American Woman Suffrage Association ( NAWSA ) , which favored a more moderate approach and supported the Democratic Party and Woodrow Wilson , led by Carrie Chapman Catt , and formed the more militant National Woman 's Party . Suffragists were arrested during their `` Silent Sentinels '' pickets at the White House , the first time such a tactic was used , and were taken as political prisoners . Women surrounded by posters in English and Yiddish supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt , Herbert H. Lehman , and the American Labor Party teach other women how to vote , 1936 . The old anti-suffragist argument that only men could fight a war , and therefore only men deserve the right to vote , was refuted by the enthusiastic participation of tens of thousands of American women on the home front in World War I. Across the world , grateful nations gave women the right to vote . Furthermore , most of the Western states had already given the women the right to vote in state and national elections , and the representatives from those states , including the first woman Jeannette Rankin of Montana , demonstrated that woman suffrage was a success . The main resistance came from the south , where white leaders were worried about the threat of black women voting . Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919 , and women could vote in 1920 . NAWSA became the League of Women Voters , and the National Woman 's Party began lobbying for full equality and the Equal Rights Amendment , which would pass Congress during the second wave of the women 's movement in 1972 . Politicians responded to the new electorate by emphasizing issues of special interest to women , especially prohibition , child health , and world peace . The main surge of women voting came in 1928 , when the big - city machines realized they needed the support of women to elect Al Smith , a Catholic from New York City . Meanwhile , Protestants mobilized women to support Prohibition and vote for Republican Herbert Hoover . Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1918 -- 45 ) Further information : Great Depression , Causes of the Great Depression , and New Deal Prohibition agents destroying barrels of alcohol in Chicago , 1921 . In the 1920s the U.S. grew steadily in stature as an economic and military world power . The United States Senate did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles imposed by its Allies on the defeated Central Powers ; instead , the United States chose to pursue unilateralism . The aftershock of Russia 's October Revolution resulted in real fears of Communism in the United States , leading to a Red Scare and the deportation of aliens considered subversive . Money supply decreased a lot between Black Tuesday and the Bank Holiday in March 1933 when there were massive bank runs across the United States . While public health facilities grew rapidly in the Progressive Era , and hospitals and medical schools were modernized , the nation in 1918 lost 675,000 lives to the Spanish flu pandemic . In 1920 , the manufacture , sale , import and export of alcohol were prohibited by the Eighteenth Amendment , Prohibition . The result was that in cities illegal alcohol became a big business , largely controlled by racketeers . The second Ku Klux Klan grew rapidly in 1922 -- 25 , then collapsed . Immigration laws were passed to strictly limit the number of new entries . The 1920s were called the Roaring Twenties due to the great economic prosperity during this period . Jazz became popular among the younger generation , and thus the decade was also called the Jazz Age . Dorothea Lange 's Migrant Mother depicts destitute pea pickers in California , centering on Florence Owens Thompson , a mother of seven , age 32 , in Nipomo , California , March 1936 . The Great Depression ( 1929 -- 39 ) and the New Deal ( 1933 -- 36 ) were decisive moments in American political , economic , and social history that reshaped the nation . During the 1920s , the nation enjoyed widespread prosperity , albeit with a weakness in agriculture . A financial bubble was fueled by an inflated stock market , which later led to the Stock Market Crash on October 29 , 1929 . This , along with many other economic factors , triggered a worldwide depression known as the Great Depression . During this time , the United States experienced deflation as prices fell , unemployment soared from 3 % in 1929 to 25 % in 1933 , farm prices fell by half , and manufacturing output plunged by one - third . Outgoing president Herbert Hoover and Roosevelt on Inauguration Day , 1933 In 1932 , Democratic presidential nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt promised `` a New Deal for the American people '' , coining the enduring label for his domestic policies . The desperate economic situation , along with the substantial Democratic victories in the 1932 elections , gave Roosevelt unusual influence over Congress in the `` First Hundred Days '' of his administration . He used his leverage to win rapid passage of a series of measures to create welfare programs and regulate the banking system , stock market , industry , and agriculture , along with many other government efforts to end the Great Depression and reform the American economy . The New Deal regulated much of the economy , especially the financial sector . It provided relief to the unemployed through numerous programs , such as the Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) and for young men , the Civilian Conservation Corps that undertook jobs such as forest fire fighting and creating public works . Large scale spending projects designed to provide high paying jobs and rebuild the infrastructure were under the purview of the Public Works Administration . Roosevelt turned left in 1935 -- 36 , building up labor unions through the Wagner Act . Unions became a powerful element of the merging New Deal Coalition , which won reelection for Roosevelt in 1936 , 1940 , and 1944 by mobilizing union members , blue collar workers , relief recipients , big city machines , ethnic , and religious groups ( especially Catholics and Jews ) and the white South , along with blacks in the North ( where they could vote ) . Some of the programs were dropped in the 1940s when the conservatives regained power in Congress through the Conservative Coalition . Of special importance is the Social Security program , begun in 1935 . World War II ( edit ) Further information : World War II , Military history of the United States during World War II , and United States home front during World War II The Japanese crippled American naval power with the attack on Pearl Harbor , destroying many battleships . In the Depression years , the United States remained focused on domestic concerns while democracy declined across the world and many countries fell under the control of dictators . Imperial Japan asserted dominance in East Asia and in the Pacific . Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy militarized and threatened conquests , while Britain and France attempted appeasement to avert another war in Europe . U.S. legislation in the Neutrality Acts sought to avoid foreign conflicts ; however , policy clashed with increasing anti-Nazi feelings following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 that started World War II . Roosevelt positioned the U.S. as the `` Arsenal of Democracy '' , pledging full - scale financial and munitions support for the Allies -- but no military personnel . This was carried out through the Lend - Lease agreements . Japan tried to neutralize America 's power in the Pacific by attacking Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 , which catalyzed American support to enter the war . The main contributions of the U.S. to the Allied war effort comprised money , industrial output , food , petroleum , technological innovation , and ( especially 1944 -- 45 ) , military personnel . Much of the focus in Washington was maximizing the economic output of the nation . The overall result was a dramatic increase in GDP , the export of vast quantities of supplies to the Allies and to American forces overseas , the end of unemployment , and a rise in civilian consumption even as 40 % of the GDP went to the war effort . This was achieved by tens of millions of workers moving from low - productivity occupations to high efficiency jobs , improvements in productivity through better technology and management , and the move into the active labor force of students , retired people , housewives , and the unemployed , and an increase in hours worked . Into the Jaws of Death : The Normandy landings began the Allied march toward Germany from the west . American corpses sprawled on the beach of Tarawa , November 1943 . It was exhausting ; leisure activities declined sharply . People tolerated the extra work because of patriotism , the pay , and the confidence that it was only `` for the duration '' , and life would return to normal as soon as the war was won . Most durable goods became unavailable , and meat , clothing , and gasoline were tightly rationed . In industrial areas housing was in short supply as people doubled up and lived in cramped quarters . Prices and wages were controlled , and Americans saved a high portion of their incomes , which led to renewed growth after the war instead of a return to depression . The Allies -- the United States , Britain , and the Soviet Union , China , as well as Poland , Canada and other countries -- fought the Axis powers of Germany , Italy , and Japan . The Allies saw Germany as the main threat and gave highest priority to Europe . The U.S. dominated the war against Japan and stopped Japanese expansion in the Pacific in 1942 . After losing Pearl Harbor and in the Philippines to the Japanese , and drawing the Battle of the Coral Sea ( May 1942 ) , the American Navy inflicted a decisive blow at Midway ( June 1942 ) . American ground forces assisted in the North African Campaign that eventually concluded with the collapse of Mussolini 's fascist government in 1943 , as Italy switched to the Allied side . A more significant European front was opened on D - Day , June 6 , 1944 , in which American and Allied forces invaded Nazi - occupied France from Britain . Bronze statue of Eisenhower at Capitol rotunda . On the home front , mobilization of the U.S. economy was managed by Roosevelt 's War Production Board . The wartime production boom led to full employment , wiping out this vestige of the Great Depression . Indeed , labor shortages encouraged industry to look for new sources of workers , finding new roles for women and blacks . However , the fervor also inspired anti-Japanese sentiment , leading to internment of Japanese - Americans . Research and development took flight as well , best seen in the Manhattan Project , a secret effort to harness nuclear fission to produce highly destructive atomic bombs . The Allies pushed the Germans out of France but faced an unexpected counterattack at the Battle of the Bulge in December . The final German effort failed , and , as Allied armies in East and West were converging on Berlin , the Nazis hurriedly tried to kill the last remaining Jews . The western front stopped short , leaving Berlin to the Soviets as the Nazi regime formally capitulated in May 1945 , ending the war in Europe . Over in the Pacific , the U.S. implemented an island hopping strategy toward Tokyo , establishing airfields for bombing runs against mainland Japan from the Mariana Islands and achieving hard - fought victories at Iwo Jima and Okinawa in 1945 . Bloodied at Okinawa , the U.S. prepared to invade Japan 's home islands when B - 29s dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , forcing the empire 's surrender in a matter of days and thus ending World War II . The U.S. occupied Japan ( and part of Germany ) , sending Douglas MacArthur to restructure the Japanese economy and political system along American lines . During the war , Roosevelt coined the term `` Four Powers '' to refer four major Allies of World War II , the United States , the United Kingdom , the Soviet Union and China , which later became the foundation of the United Nations Security Council . Though the nation lost more than 400,000 military personnel , the mainland prospered untouched by the devastation of war that inflicted a heavy toll on Europe and Asia . Participation in postwar foreign affairs marked the end of predominant American isolationism . The awesome threat of nuclear weapons inspired both optimism and fear . Nuclear weapons were never used after 1945 , as both sides drew back from the brink and a `` long peace '' characterized the Cold War years , starting with the Truman Doctrine in May 22 , 1947 . There were , however , regional wars in Korea and Vietnam . The Cold War , Counterculture , and Civil rights ( edit ) Main articles : History of the United States ( 1945 -- 64 ) , History of the United States ( 1964 -- 80 ) , and United States in the 1950s Cuban Missile Crisis a meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna in 1961 . Following World War II , the United States emerged as one of the two dominant superpowers , the USSR being the other . The U.S. Senate on a bipartisan vote approved U.S. participation in the United Nations ( UN ) , which marked a turn away from the traditional isolationism of the U.S. and toward increased international involvement . The primary American goal of 1945 -- 48 was to rescue Europe from the devastation of World War II and to contain the expansion of Communism , represented by the Soviet Union . U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War was built around the support of Western Europe and Japan along with the policy of containment , stopping the spread of communism . The U.S. joined the wars in Korea and Vietnam to try to stop its spread . The Truman Doctrine of 1947 provided military and economic aid to Greece and Turkey to counteract the threat of Communist expansion in the Balkans . In 1948 , the United States replaced piecemeal financial aid programs with a comprehensive Marshall Plan , which pumped money into the economy of Western Europe , and removed trade barriers , while modernizing the managerial practices of businesses and governments . President Kennedy 's Civil Rights Address , June 11 , 1963 . The Plan 's $13 billion budget was in the context of a U.S. GDP of $258 billion in 1948 and was in addition to the $12 billion in American aid given to Europe between the end of the war and the start of the Marshall Plan . Soviet head of state Joseph Stalin prevented his satellite states from participating , and from that point on , Eastern Europe , with inefficient centralized economies , fell further and further behind Western Europe in terms of economic development and prosperity . In 1949 , the United States , rejecting the long - standing policy of no military alliances in peacetime , formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) alliance , which continues into the 21st century . In response the Soviets formed the Warsaw Pact of communist states , leading to the `` iron curtain '' . Apollo 11 In August 1949 the Soviets tested their first nuclear weapon , thereby escalating the risk of warfare . The threat of mutually assured destruction however , prevented both powers from nuclear war , and resulted in proxy wars , especially in Korea and Vietnam , in which the two sides did not directly confront each other . Within the United States , the Cold War prompted concerns about Communist influence . The unexpected leapfrogging of American technology by the Soviets in 1957 with Sputnik , the first Earth satellite , began the Space Race , won by the Americans as Apollo 11 landed astronauts on the moon in 1969 . The angst about the weaknesses of American education led to large - scale federal support for science education and research . In the decades after World War II , the United States became a global influence in economic , political , military , cultural , and technological affairs . Beginning in the 1950s , middle - class culture became obsessed with consumer goods . White Americans made up nearly 90 % of the population in 1950 . In 1960 , the charismatic politician John F. Kennedy was elected as the first and -- thus far -- only Roman Catholic President of the United States . The Kennedy family brought a new life and vigor to the atmosphere of the White House . His time in office was marked by such notable events as the acceleration of the United States ' role in the Space Race , escalation of the American role in the Vietnam War , the Cuban missile crisis , the Bay of Pigs Invasion , the jailing of Martin Luther King , Jr. during the Birmingham campaign , and the appointment of his brother Robert F. Kennedy to his Cabinet as Attorney General . Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas , Texas , on November 22 , 1963 , leaving the nation in profound shock . Climax of liberalism ( edit ) American soldiers during the Vietnam War , 1967 The climax of liberalism came in the mid-1960s with the success of President Lyndon B. Johnson ( 1963 -- 69 ) in securing congressional passage of his Great Society programs . They included civil rights , the end of segregation , Medicare , extension of welfare , federal aid to education at all levels , subsidies for the arts and humanities , environmental activism , and a series of programs designed to wipe out poverty . As recent historians have explained : Gradually , liberal intellectuals crafted a new vision for achieving economic and social justice . The liberalism of the early 1960s contained no hint of radicalism , little disposition to revive new deal era crusades against concentrated economic power , and no intention to redistribute wealth or restructure existing institutions . Internationally it was strongly anti-Communist . It aimed to defend the free world , to encourage economic growth at home , and to ensure that the resulting plenty was fairly distributed . Their agenda - much influenced by Keynesian economic theory - envisioned massive public expenditure that would speed economic growth , thus providing the public resources to fund larger welfare , housing , health , and educational programs . Johnson was rewarded with an electoral landslide in 1964 against conservative Barry Goldwater , which broke the decades - long control of Congress by the Conservative coalition . However , the Republicans bounced back in 1966 and elected Richard Nixon in 1968 . Nixon largely continued the New Deal and Great Society programs he inherited ; conservative reaction would come with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 . Meanwhile , the American people completed a great migration from farms into the cities and experienced a period of sustained economic expansion . Civil rights movement ( edit ) Main article : Civil Rights Movement Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. ( right ) , with President Lyndon B. Johnson in the background ( left ) Starting in the late 1950s , institutionalized racism across the United States , but especially in the South , was increasingly challenged by the growing Civil Rights Movement . The activism of African - American leaders Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King , Jr. led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott , which launched the movement . For years African Americans would struggle with violence against them but would achieve great steps toward equality with Supreme Court decisions , including Brown v. Board of Education and Loving v. Virginia , the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 , which ended the Jim Crow laws that legalized racial segregation between whites and blacks . Duncan West speaking with Cesar Chavez . The Delano UFW rally . Duncan represented the Teamsters who were supporting the UFW and condemning their IBT leadership for working as thugs against a fellow union . Duncan and his wife Mary were the branch organizers of the LA IS . Martin Luther King , Jr. , who had won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to achieve equality of the races , was assassinated in 1968 . Following his death others led the movement , most notably King 's widow , Coretta Scott King , who was also active , like her husband , in the Opposition to the Vietnam War , and in the Women 's Liberation Movement . There were 164 riots in 128 American cities in the first nine months of 1967 . Frustrations with the seemingly slow progress of the integration movement led to the emergence of more radical discourses during the early 1960s , which , in turn , gave rise to the Black Power movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s . The decade would ultimately bring about positive strides toward integration , especially in government service , sports , and entertainment . Native Americans turned to the federal courts to fight for their land rights . They held protests highlighting the federal government 's failure to honor treaties . One of the most outspoken Native American groups was the American Indian Movement ( AIM ) . In the 1960s , Cesar Chavez began organizing poorly paid Mexican - American farm workers in California . He led a five - year - long strike by grape pickers . Then Chávez formed the nation 's first successful union of farm workers . His United Farm Workers of America ( UFW ) faltered after a few years but after Chavez died in 1993 he became an iconic `` folk saint '' in the pantheon of Mexican Americans . The women 's movement ( edit ) Further information : Second - wave feminism Anti-Vietnam War demonstration , 1967 A new consciousness of the inequality of American women began sweeping the nation , starting with the 1963 publication of Betty Friedan 's best - seller , The Feminine Mystique , which explained how many housewives felt trapped and unfulfilled , assaulted American culture for its creation of the notion that women could only find fulfillment through their roles as wives , mothers , and keepers of the home , and argued that women were just as able as men to do every type of job . In 1966 Friedan and others established the National Organization for Women , or NOW , to act for women as the NAACP did for African Americans . Two hippies at Woodstock Protests began , and the new Women 's Liberation Movement grew in size and power , gained much media attention , and , by 1968 , had replaced the Civil Rights Movement as the U.S 's main social revolution . Marches , parades , rallies , boycotts , and pickets brought out thousands , sometimes millions . There were striking gains for women in medicine , law , and business , while only a few were elected to office . The Movement was split into factions by political ideology early on , however ( with NOW on the left , the Women 's Equity Action League ( WEAL ) on the right , the National Women 's Political Caucus ( NWPC ) in the center , and more radical groups formed by younger women on the far left ) . The proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution , passed by Congress in 1972 was defeated by a conservative coalition mobilized by Phyllis Schlafly . They argued that it degraded the position of the housewife and made young women susceptible to the military draft . However , many federal laws ( i.e. , those equalizing pay , employment , education , employment opportunities , and credit ; ending pregnancy discrimination ; and requiring NASA , the Military Academies , and other organizations to admit women ) , state laws ( i.e. , those ending spousal abuse and marital rape ) , Supreme Court rulings ( i.e. ruling that the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applied to women ) , and state ERAs established women 's equal status under the law , and social custom and consciousness began to change , accepting women 's equality . The controversial issue of abortion , deemed by the Supreme Court as a fundamental right in Roe v. Wade ( 1973 ) , is still a point of debate today . The Counterculture Revolution and Cold War détente ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1964 -- 80 ) United States Navy F - 4 Phantom II shadows a Soviet Tu - 95 Bear D aircraft in the early 1970s U.S. Senator Edmund Muskie speaking at Fairmount Park , Philadelphia on Earth Day , 1970 Amid the Cold War , the United States entered the Vietnam War , whose growing unpopularity fed already existing social movements , including those among women , minorities , and young people . President Lyndon B. Johnson 's Great Society social programs and numerous rulings by the Warren Court added to the wide range of social reform during the 1960s and 1970s . Feminism and the environmental movement became political forces , and progress continued toward civil rights for all Americans . The Counterculture Revolution swept through the nation and much of the western world in the late sixties and early seventies , further dividing Americans in a `` culture war '' but also bringing forth more liberated social views . Johnson was succeeded in 1969 by Republican Richard Nixon , who attempted to gradually turn the war over to the South Vietnamese forces . He negotiated the peace treaty in 1973 which secured the release of POWs and led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops . The war had cost the lives of 58,000 American troops . Nixon manipulated the fierce distrust between the Soviet Union and China to the advantage of the United States , achieving détente ( relaxation ; ease of tension ) with both parties . Nixon departs The Watergate scandal , involving Nixon 's cover - up of his operatives ' break - in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex destroyed his political base , sent many aides to prison , and forced Nixon 's resignation on August 9 , 1974 . He was succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford . The Fall of Saigon ended the Vietnam War and resulted in North and South Vietnam being reunited . Communist victories in neighboring Cambodia and Laos occurred in the same year . The OPEC oil embargo marked a long - term economic transition since , for the first time , energy prices skyrocketed , and American factories faced serious competition from foreign automobiles , clothing , electronics , and consumer goods . By the late 1970s the economy suffered an energy crisis , slow economic growth , high unemployment , and very high inflation coupled with high interest rates ( the term stagflation was coined ) . Since economists agreed on the wisdom of deregulation , many of the New Deal era regulations were ended , such as in transportation , banking , and telecommunications . Jimmy Carter , running as someone who was not a part of the Washington political establishment , was elected president in 1976 . On the world stage , Carter brokered the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt . In 1979 , Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took 66 Americans hostage , resulting in the Iran hostage crisis . With the hostage crisis and continuing stagflation , Carter lost the 1980 election to the Republican Ronald Reagan . On January 20 , 1981 , minutes after Carter 's term in office ended , the remaining U.S. captives held at the U.S. embassy in Iran were released , ending the 444 - day hostage crisis . Close of the 20th century ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1980 -- 91 ) Ronald Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate challenges Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall in 1987 , shortly before the end of the Cold War . Ronald Reagan produced a major realignment with his 1980 and 1984 landslide elections . Reagan 's economic policies ( dubbed `` Reaganomics '' ) and the implementation of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 lowered the top marginal tax rate from 70 % to 28 % over the course of seven years . Reagan continued to downsize government taxation and regulation . The U.S. experienced a recession in 1982 , but the negative indicators reversed , with the inflation rate decreasing from 11 % to 2 % , the unemployment rate decreasing from 10.8 % in December 1982 to 7.5 % in November 1984 , and the economic growth rate increasing from 4.5 % to 7.2 % . Reagan ordered a buildup of the U.S. military , incurring additional budget deficits . Reagan introduced a complicated missile defense system known as the Strategic Defense Initiative ( SDI ) ( dubbed `` Star Wars '' by opponents ) in which , theoretically , the U.S. could shoot down missiles with laser systems in space . The Soviets reacted harshly because they thought it violated the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty , and would upset the balance of power by giving the U.S. a major military advantage . For years Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev argued vehemently against SDI . However , by the late 1980s he decided the system would never work and should not be used to block disarmament deals with the U.S. Historians argue how great an impact the SDI threat had on the Soviets -- whether it was enough to force Gorbachev to initiate radical reforms , or whether the deterioration of the Soviet economy alone forced the reforms . There is agreement that the Soviets realized they were well behind the Americans in military technology , that to try to catch up would be very expensive , and that the military expenses were already a very heavy burden slowing down their economy . Reagan 's Invasion of Grenada and bombing of Libya were popular in the U.S , though his backing of the Contras rebels was mired in the controversy over the Iran -- Contra affair that revealed Reagan 's poor management style . Supreme Court Justice - nominee Sandra Day O'Connor talks with President Ronald Reagan outside the White House , July 15 , 1981 . Serving from her appointment in 1981 by Ronald Reagan until her retirement in 2006 . She was the first woman to serve as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States . Reagan met four times with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev , who ascended to power in 1985 , and their summit conferences led to the signing of the Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty . Gorbachev tried to save Communism in the Soviet Union first by ending the expensive arms race with America , then by shedding the East European empire in 1989 . The Soviet Union collapsed on Christmas Day 1991 , ending the U.S -- Soviet Cold War . Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty The United States emerged as the world 's sole remaining superpower and continued to intervene in international affairs during the 1990s , including the 1991 Gulf War against Iraq . Following his election in 1992 , President Bill Clinton oversaw one of the longest periods of economic expansion and unprecedented gains in securities values , a side effect of the digital revolution and new business opportunities created by the Internet . He also worked with the Republican Congress to pass the first balanced federal budget in 30 years . In 1998 , Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of lying about a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky . He was acquitted by the Senate . The failure of impeachment and the Democratic gains in the 1998 election forced House Speaker Newt Gingrich , a Republican , to resign from Congress . Clinton , Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat during the Oslo Accords on September 13 , 1993 . The Republican Party expanded its base throughout the South after 1968 ( excepting 1976 ) , largely due to its strength among socially conservative white Evangelical Protestants and traditionalist Roman Catholics , added to its traditional strength in the business community and suburbs . As white Democrats in the South lost dominance of the Democratic Party in the 1990s , the region took on the two - party apparatus which characterized most of the nation . The Republican Party 's central leader by 1980 was Ronald Reagan , whose conservative policies called for reduced government spending and regulation , lower taxes , and a strong anti-Soviet foreign policy . His iconic status in the party persists into the 21st century , as practically all Republican Party leaders acknowledge his stature . Social scientists Theodore Caplow et al. argue , `` The Republican party , nationally , moved from right - center toward the center in 1940s and 1950s , then moved right again in the 1970s and 1980s . '' They add : `` The Democratic party , nationally , moved from left - center toward the center in the 1940s and 1950s , then moved further toward the right - center in the 1970s and 1980s . '' The presidential election in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore was one of the closest in U.S. history and helped lay the seeds for political polarization to come . The vote in the decisive state of Florida was extremely close and produced a dramatic dispute over the counting of votes . The U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore ended the recount with a 5 -- 4 vote . That meant Bush , then in the lead , carried Florida and the election . Including 2000 , the Democrats outpolled the Republicans in the national vote in every election from 1992 to 2016 , except for 2004 . 21st century ( edit ) 9 / 11 and the War on Terror ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1991 -- 2008 ) Further information : September 11 attacks and War on Terror The NASDAQ Composite index swelled with the dot - com bubble in the optimistic `` New Economy '' . The bubble burst in 2000 . On September 11 , 2001 ( `` 9 / 11 '' ) , the United States was struck by a terrorist attack when 19 al - Qaeda hijackers commandeered four airliners to be used in suicide attacks and intentionally crashed two into both twin towers of the World Trade Center and the third into the Pentagon , killing 2,937 victims -- 206 aboard the three airliners , 2,606 who were in the World Trade Center and on the ground , and 125 who were in the Pentagon . The fourth plane was re-taken by the passengers and crew of the aircraft . While they were not able to land the plane safely , they were able to re-take control of the aircraft and crash it into an empty field in Pennsylvania , killing all 44 people including the four terrorists on board , thereby saving whatever target the terrorists were aiming for . Within two hours , both Twin Towers of the World Trade Center completely collapsed causing massive damage to the surrounding area and blanketing Lower Manhattan in toxic dust clouds . All in all , a total of 2,977 victims perished in the attacks . In response , President George W. Bush on September 20 announced a `` War on Terror '' . On October 7 , 2001 , the United States and NATO then invaded Afghanistan to oust the Taliban regime , which had provided safe haven to al - Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden . The former World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan during September 11 attacks in 2001 One World Trade Center , built in its place The federal government established new domestic efforts to prevent future attacks . The controversial USA PATRIOT Act increased the government 's power to monitor communications and removed legal restrictions on information sharing between federal law enforcement and intelligence services . A cabinet - level agency called the Department of Homeland Security was created to lead and coordinate federal counter-terrorism activities . Some of these anti-terrorism efforts , particularly the U.S. government 's handling of detainees at the prison at Guantanamo Bay , led to allegations against the U.S. government of human rights violations . George W. Bush addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations on 12 September 2002 to outline the complaints of the United States government against the Iraqi government . In 2003 , from March 19 to May 1 , the United States launched an invasion of Iraq , which led to the collapse of the Iraq government and the eventual capture of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein , with whom the U.S. had long - standing tense relations . The reasons for the invasion cited by the Bush administration included the spreading of democracy , the elimination of weapons of mass destruction ( a key demand of the UN as well , though later investigations found parts of the intelligence reports to be inaccurate ) , and the liberation of the Iraqi people . Despite some initial successes early in the invasion , the continued Iraq War fueled international protests and gradually saw domestic support decline as many people began to question whether or not the invasion was worth the cost . In 2007 , after years of violence by the Iraqi insurgency , President Bush deployed more troops in a strategy dubbed `` the surge '' . While the death toll decreased , the political stability of Iraq remained in doubt . Headquarters of the Lehman Brothers , who filed for bankruptcy in September 2008 at the height of the U.S. financial crisis . In 2008 , the unpopularity of President Bush and the Iraq war , along with the 2008 financial crisis , led to the election of Barack Obama , the first African - American President of the United States . After his election , Obama reluctantly continued the war effort in Iraq until August 31 , 2010 , when he declared that combat operations had ended . However , 50,000 American soldiers and military personnel were kept in Iraq to assist Iraqi forces , help protect withdrawing forces , and work on counter-terrorism until December 15 , 2011 , when the war was declared formally over and the last troops left the country . At the same time , Obama increased American involvement in Afghanistan , starting a surge strategy using an additional 30,000 troops , while proposing to begin withdrawing troops sometime in December 2014 . With regards to Guantanamo Bay , President Obama forbade torture but in general retained Bush 's policy regarding the Guantanamo detainees , while also proposing that the prison eventually be closed . In May 2011 , after nearly a decade in hiding , the founder and leader of Al Qaeda , Osama bin Laden , was killed in Pakistan in a raid conducted by U.S. naval special forces acting under President Obama 's direct orders . While Al Qaeda was near collapse in Afghanistan , affiliated organizations continued to operate in Yemen and other remote areas as the CIA used drones to hunt down and remove its leadership . The Boston Marathon Bombing was a bombing incident , followed by subsequent related shootings , that occurred when two pressure cooker bombs exploded during the Boston Marathon on April 15 , 2013 . The bombs exploded about 12 seconds and 210 yards ( 190 m ) apart at 2 : 49 pm EDT , near the marathon 's finish line on Boylston Street . They killed 3 people and injured an estimated 264 others . The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -- formerly known as Al - Qaeda in Iraq -- rose to prominence in September 2014 . In addition to taking control of much of Western Iraq and Eastern Syria , ISIS also beheaded three journalists , two American and one British . These events lead to a major military offensive by the US and its allies in the region . On December 28 , 2014 , President Obama officially ended the combat mission in Afghanistan and promised a withdrawal of all remaining U.S. troops at the end of 2016 with the exception of the embassy guards . The Great recession ( edit ) Main article : Great Recession Congressional leadership meeting with then - President Obama in 2011 . In September 2008 , the United States , and most of Europe , entered the longest post -- World War II recession , often called the `` Great Recession . '' Multiple overlapping crises were involved , especially the housing market crisis , a subprime mortgage crisis , soaring oil prices , an automotive industry crisis , rising unemployment , and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression . The financial crisis threatened the stability of the entire economy in September 2008 when Lehman Brothers failed and other giant banks were in grave danger . Starting in October the federal government lent $245 billion to financial institutions through the Troubled Asset Relief Program which was passed by bipartisan majorities and signed by Bush . Following his election victory by a wide electoral margin in November 2008 , Bush 's successor -- Barack Obama -- signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , which was a $787 billion economic stimulus aimed at helping the economy recover from the deepening recession . Obama , like Bush , took steps to rescue the auto industry and prevent future economic meltdowns . These included a bailout of General Motors and Chrysler , putting ownership temporarily in the hands of the government , and the `` cash for clunkers '' program which temporarily boosted new car sales . The recession officially ended in June 2009 , and the economy slowly began to expand once again . The unemployment rate peaked at 10.1 % in October 2009 after surging from 4.7 % in November 2007 , and returned to 5.0 % as of October 2015 . However , overall economic growth has remained weaker in the 2010s compared to expansions in previous decades .

From 2009 to 2010 , the 111th Congress passed major legislation such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , informally known as Obamacare , the Dodd -- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Do n't Ask , Do n't Tell Repeal Act , which were signed into law by President Obama . Following the 2010 midterm elections , which resulted in a Republican - controlled House of Representatives and a Democratic - controlled Senate , Congress presided over a period of elevated gridlock and heated debates over whether or not to raise the debt ceiling , extend tax cuts for citizens making over $250,000 annually , and many other key issues . These ongoing debates led to President Obama signing the Budget Control Act of 2011 . In the Fall of 2012 , Mitt Romney challenged Barack Obama for the Presidency . Following Obama 's reelection in November 2012 , Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 -- which resulted in an increase in taxes primarily on those earning the most money . Congressional gridlock continued as Congressional Republicans ' call for the repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- popularly known as `` Obamacare '' -- along with other various demands , resulted in the first government shutdown since the Clinton administration and almost led to the first default on U.S. debt since the 19th century . As a result of growing public frustration with both parties in Congress since the beginning of the decade , Congressional approval ratings fell to record lows , with only 11 % of Americans approving as of October 2013 . Other major events that have occurred during the 2010s include the rise of new political movements , such as the conservative Tea Party movement and the liberal Occupy movement . There was also unusually severe weather during the early part of the decade . In 2012 , over half the country experienced record drought and Hurricane Sandy caused massive damage to coastal areas of New York and New Jersey . On the morning of June 26 , 2015 outside the Supreme Court , the crowd reacts to the Court 's decision on Obergefell v. Hodges The ongoing debate over the issue of rights for the LGBT community , most notably that of same - sex marriage , began to shift in favor of same - sex couples , and has been reflected in dozens of polls released in the early part of the decade . In 2012 , President Obama became the first president to openly support same - sex marriage , and the 2013 Supreme Court decision in the case of United States v. Windsor provided for federal recognition of same - sex unions . In June 2015 , the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationally in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges . Political debate has continued over issues such as tax reform , immigration reform , income inequality and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East , particularly with regards to global terrorism , the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and an accompanying climate of Islamophobia . Trump signing Executive Order 13769 at the Pentagon as the Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of Defense James Mattis look on , January 27 , 2017 On November 8 , 2016 , Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to become the President - elect of the United States . Trump 's election became mired in controversy after U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that associates of the Russian government interfered in the election `` to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process . '' This , along with questions about potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials , led to the launch of investigations into the matter by the FBI , and the Senate and the House Intelligence Committees .

"Armed conflict began in 1775. In 1776, the Second Continental Congress declared a new, independent nation: the United States of America. Led by General George Washington, it won the Revolutionary War with large support from France. The peace treaty of 1783 gave the new nation the land east of the Mississippi River (except Canada and Florida). The Articles of Confederation established a central government, but it was ineffectual at providing stability, as it could not collect taxes and had no executive officer. A convention in 1787 wrote a new Constitution that was adopted in 1789. In 1791, a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee inalienable rights. With Washington as the first president and Alexander Hamilton his chief adviser, a strong central government was created. Purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 doubled the size of the United States. A second and final war with Britain was fought in 1812, which solidified national pride."

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 by talking about the circus , then severs his arm and drags him into the sewer drain . 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 , and is lured into the basement of the library by Pennywise , before escaping the library . He is attacked by Bowers ' gang for being fat and has an ' H ' carved into his stomach . He is able to escape before Henry can finish his name and flees into the Barrens and meets Bill 's group . They find the sneaker of a missing girl named Betty Ripsom , while a member of the pursuing Bowers Gang , Patrick Hockstetter , is killed by Pennywise looking for Ben . The Losers see Ben bloody , and rush to the nearest drug store to fix him up . They do n't have enough money , however , and Beverly helps them in stealing the products . Beverly Marsh , a girl ostracized over rumors of promiscuity , helps clean Ben 's wound and joins the group ; both Bill and Ben develop feelings for her . Later , the group befriends homeschooled black kid Mike Hanlon after defending him from Bowers in a rock war . All the while each member of the group has encountered terrifying phenomena in various forms ; these include a menacing clown for Richie , a headless boy for Ben , a fountain of blood for Beverly , a diseased and rotting man known as a Leper for Eddie , a creepy painting come to life for Stan , Mike 's parents burning alive , and finally a phantom Georgie for Bill . 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 the town 's original well 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 . Bill and Richie leave Eddie behind , and Eddie sees the leper . Richie then gets locked in a room full of clown dolls , and sees a casket with a doll of himself inside . Pennywise jumps out from behind the casket and chases Richie out the door . They realize Eddie is gone , and find him right before Pennywise kills him . 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 Eddie is forbidden to see the group by his overprotective mother , Richie argues that fighting It is n't worth their lives leading to him , leading him to say Georgie is did in which Bill punches Richie in the face . Richie , Stan and Mike leave the group , and only Bill , Ben , and Beverly remain resolute in fighting It and prepare for another confrontation . Weeks later , after Beverly confronts and incapacitates her 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 ( and possibly his remaining gang ) after being compelled into madness by It , attacks the group . Mike fights back and pushes Henry down the well to his apparent death . Amidst , Beverly wakes up in Pennywise 's lair . She tries to run away , but Pennywise catches her , and shows her It 's true form ; the Deadlights . The Losers descend into the sewers and Stan is separated and almost killed by It in the form of the `` Flute Lady '' , but is rescued by the Losers . They 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 is Pennywise in disguise , and shoots him with Mike 's bolt gun . Pennywise attacks the group and takes Bill hostage , offering to spare the others if they let It keep Bill . Richie lists bad things Bill has done to him , but realizes friendship is important , and attacks Pennywise with a baseball bat . The Losers see their various fears , but wound It quickly . 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 finds his brother 's raincoat and accepts his death while his friends comfort him and the missing children 's bodies float to the ground . The Losers then leave the sewers . As summer ends , Beverly informs the group of a vision she had while catatonic , where she saw them fighting It 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 by cutting their palms with a glass shard . 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 share a 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 concerning false rumors that she is promiscuous . Her home life is also dismal , as her violent father is sexually abusive to her . 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 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 amount 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 high school thugs , 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 ; Javier Botet appears as The Leper , a diseased and rotting man that encounters Eddie Kaspbrak at the house on 29 Neibolt Street ; Tatum Lee appears as Judith , one of It 's horrifying creations ; Steven Williams appears as Leroy Hanlon , the stern grandfather of Mike Hanlon , who runs a nearby abattoir ; Stephen Bogaert appears as Alvin Marsh , the abusive father of Beverly Marsh ; 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 ; Ari Cohen appears as Rabbi Uris , the father of Stanley Uris ; Stuart Hughes appears as Oscar `` Butch '' Bowers , a police officer and abusive father of Henry Bowers ; Megan Charpentier appears as Greta Keene , the pharmacist 's daughter who targets Beverly for ridicule . 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 Hocksetter . 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 80s 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 . Music On March 23 , 2017 , Benjamin Wallfisch was announced as the composer of It 's score . The soundtrack album was released in preview in August 2017 . All tracks written by Benjamin Wallfisch .

( 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 As of November 5 , 2017 , It has grossed $325.9 million in the United States and Canada , and $351.7 million in other territories , for a worldwide total of $677.6 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 84 % based on 283 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 '' . Accolades It received a 2017 Golden Trailer Awards nomination for Best Horror , which it subsequently won . List of awards and nominations Award Date of ceremony Recipient ( s ) and nominee ( s ) Result Ref . Golden Trailer Awards June 6 , 2017 Best Horror It Won Sequel On February 16 , 2016 , producer Roy Lee , in an interview with Collider.com , mentioned the final film of the planned It duology , remarking that : `` ( Dauberman ) wrote the most recent draft working with ( Muschietti ) , so it 's being envisioned as two movies . '' 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 a sequel would be released on September 6 , 2019 , with co-scriptwriter Gary Dauberman returning to write the script . 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 '' .

"\nBill Skarsgård as It / Pennywise the Dancing Clown:[N 1]\nAn ancient, trans-dimensional evil that awakens every twenty-seven years.[30][31][32][33] Will Poulter was previously cast in the role but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts,[30] 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.\"[34] 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 haven't had a chance to connect with that [new] director.\"[35] Mark Rylance, Ben Mendelsohn, Kirk Acevedo, Richard Armitage, Hugo Weaving, and Tilda Swinton were considered for the role,[36][37][38][39][40] with Mendelsohn passing on the project, as New Line wanted him to take a sizable pay cut.[41] On June 3, 2016, The Independent officially reported, after final negotiations took place, that Muschietti had chosen actor Bill Skarsgård to portray the character.[42] 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.\"[43] 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,[44] \"What's funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it's funny.\"[45] 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.\"[46] 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.\"[47][48] 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.\"[49] 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.\"[50] 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.\"[50] 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.\"[51][52][53][54][55] 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.\"[56] On selecting Skarsgård to portray Pennywise, Muschietti wanted to stay true to the essence of the character, and Skarsgård caught his attention,[57] \"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.\"[58]\n\nWyatt Oleff as Stanley \"Stan\" Uris:\nA Jewish mysophobe who is the son of a rabbi. He is studying for his bar mitzvah but isn'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.\"[59]\n\nJeremy Ray Taylor as Benjamin \"Ben\" Hanscom:\nHanscom 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.[26][60] On the character of Hanscom, Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair, \"... Ben is bullied at school.\"[61]\n\nSophia Lillis as Beverly \"Bev\" Marsh:\nThe only female member of the Losers' Club, she is bullied at school, particularly concerning false rumors that she is promiscuous. Her home life is also dismal, as her violent father is sexually abusive to her.[62] 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.\"[63] 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 weren't allowed to see him until our scenes, because we wanted the horror to be real.\"[64] 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.\"[64] 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.\"[64]\n\nFinn Wolfhard as Richard \"Richie\" Tozier:\nThe bespectacled best friend of Bill Denbrough, whose loud mouth and foul language often get him into trouble.[26][60] 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.[65][66][67] On the character of Tozier, Muschietti spoke of him knowing a situation of despair, \"We don'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.\"[68]\n\nJack Dylan Grazer as Edward \"Eddie\" Kaspbrak:\nKaspbrak is the epitome of the hypochondriac, overly exaggerated by the immense amount of objects in his medicine cabinet; a sickly boy who only feels truly well when he is with his friends.[26][60][59] 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.\"[69]\n\nChosen Jacobs as Michael \"Mike\" Hanlon:\nAn 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.[26][70][60][71][59] On the experience of shooting Muschietti's piece, Jacobs spoke of the experience as \"... my favorite summer of my 16 long years on earth ...\"[72]\n\nNicholas Hamilton as Henry Bowers:\nA young sociopath who leads the Bowers Gang, a gang of high school thugs, and terrorizes the Losers' Club.[73][74] 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.[75] 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.\"[75] 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.\"[75]\n\nJackson Robert Scott as George \"Georgie\" Denbrough:\nThe 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.[76][77]\n\n"

See Wikipedia 's guide to writing better articles for suggestions . ( January 2013 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Rest , in physics , refers to an object being stationary relative to a particular frame of reference or another object . When the position of a body with respect to its surroundings does not change with time it is said to be `` at rest '' . According to the theory of relativity , it is said that an object is `` at rest relative to '' another . For example , a train decelerates approaching a station and eventually comes to rest alongside the platform . The train can be said to be `` at rest with respect to the station '' , or , as the correct frame of reference is usually implicit and / or provided by context , simply `` at rest '' . Given an inertial frame of reference , Newton 's first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest , while the motion of a moving object will remain unchanged until acted upon by an external force . An object at rest , therefore , can be described as without velocity and acceleration -- although , according to relativity , an object is either at rest or in motion relative to other moving objects . The concept of `` relative rest '' is closely linked to that of inertial observers and the statement that nothing is at absolute rest is loosely equivalent to stating that there are no frames of reference which are truly inertial . So - called non-inertial observers are addressed by the theory of general relativity . In reality , there is nothing at absolute rest . For example , Earth 's gravitation constantly pulls objects toward its surface , while Earth is one of the objects the Sun constantly pulls towards itself , causing it to orbit the Sun ; the Sun , in turn , orbits the center of the Milky Way ; and so on. Two or more than two objects are said to be at rest , if its position with respect to each other is not changing or moving with uniform velocity with respect to each other. Rest and motion are relative term . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ `` Newton 's first law '' . The Physics classroom . 2014 - 03 - 20 .

"Rest, in physics, refers to an object being stationary relative to a particular frame of reference or another object. When the position of a body with respect to its surroundings does not change with time it is said to be \"at rest\". According to the theory of relativity, it is said that an object is \"at rest relative to\" another. For example, a train decelerates approaching a station and eventually comes to rest alongside the platform. The train can be said to be \"at rest with respect to the station\", or, as the correct frame of reference is usually implicit and/or provided by context, simply \"at rest\"."

7598855063257892118 | The Dragon (Beowulf) | The dragon ( Beowulf ) - wikipedia The dragon ( Beowulf ) Jump to : navigation , search Beowulf battles his nemesis , the dragon , shown in an 1908 illustration by J.R. Skelton . The final act of the Anglo - Saxon poem Beowulf is about the hero Beowulf 's fight with a dragon , the third monster he encounters in the epic . On his return from Heorot , where he killed Grendel and Grendel 's mother , Beowulf becomes king of the Geats and rules peacefully for fifty winters until a slave awakens and angers a dragon by stealing a jewelled cup from its lair in order to gain freedom from killing his brother . When the angry dragon mercilessly burns the Geats ' homes and lands , Beowulf decides to fight and kill the monster personally . He and his thanes climb to the dragon 's lair where , upon seeing the beast , the thanes flee in terror , leaving only Wiglaf to battle at Beowulf 's side . When the dragon wounds Beowulf fatally , Wiglaf slays it . This depiction indicates the growing importance and stabilization of the modern concept of the dragon within European mythology . Beowulf is the first piece of English literature to present a dragonslayer . Although many motifs common to the Beowulf dragon existed in the Scandinavian and Germanic literature , the Beowulf poet was the first to combine features and present a distinctive fire - breathing dragon . The Beowulf dragon was later copied in literature with similar themes such as J.R.R. Tolkien 's The Hobbit ( 1937 ) , one of the forerunners of modern high fantasy . The dragon fight , occurring at the end of the poem , is foreshadowed in earlier scenes . The dragon fight symbolizes Beowulf 's stand against evil and destruction , and , as the hero , he knows that failure will bring destruction to his people after many years of peace . The dragon himself acts a mock `` gold - king , '' one who sees attacking Beowulf 's kingdom as suitable retribution for the theft of just a single cup . The scene is structured in thirds , ending with the deaths of the dragon and Beowulf .

Fifty years pass with Beowulf leading as a wise king , when a local dragon is angered when a slave enters its lair and takes a cup from its treasure . The creature attacks the neighboring towns in revenge . Beowulf and a troop of men ( `` the Geats '' ) leave to find the dragon 's lair . The Geats run away in fear , leaving only Beowulf and his young companion Wiglaf to slay the dragon . Beowulf receives a fatal wound from the dragon , but Wiglaf impales the dragon 's belly to reduce the flames , and Beowulf deals the fatal blow . In his death - speech , Beowulf nominates Wiglaf as his heir , and that of the treasure . Background ( edit ) Sigurd and Fafnir by Arthur Rackham , from his 1911 illustrations for Richard Wagner 's Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods Beowulf is the oldest extant heroic poem in English literature and the first to present a dragon slayer . The legend of the dragonslayer already existed in Norse sagas such as the tale of Sigurd and Fafnir , and the Beowulf poet incorporates motifs and themes common to dragon - lore in the poem . Beowulf is the earliest surviving piece of Anglo - Saxon literature to feature a dragon , and it is possible that the poet had access to similar stories from Germanic legend . Secular Germanic literature and the literature of Christian hagiography featured dragons and dragon fights . Although the dragons of hagiography were less fierce than the dragon in Beowulf , similarities exist in the stories such as presenting the journey to the dragon 's lair , cowering spectators , and the sending of messages relaying the outcome of the fight . The dragon with his hoard is a common motif in early Germanic literature with the story existing to varying extents in the Norse sagas , but it is most notable in the Völsunga saga and in Beowulf . Beowulf preserves existing medieval dragon - lore , most notably in the extended digression recounting the Sigurd / Fafnir tale . Nonetheless , comparative contemporary narratives did not have the complexity and distinctive elements written into Beowulf 's dragon scene . Beowulf is a hero who previously killed two monsters . The scene includes extended flashbacks to the Geatish - Swedish wars , a detailed description of the dragon and the dragon - hoard , and ends with intricate funerary imagery . Beowulf scholar J.R.R. Tolkien considered the dragon in Beowulf to be one of only two real dragons in northern European literature , writing of it , `` dragons , real dragons , essential both to the machinery and the ideas of a poem or tale , are actually rare . In northern literature there are only two that are significant ... we have but the dragon of the Völsungs , Fáfnir , and Beowulf 's bane . '' Furthermore , Tolkien believes the Beowulf poet emphasizes the monsters Beowulf fights in the poem and claims the dragon is as much of a plot device as anything . Tolkien expands on Beowulf 's dragon in his own fiction , which indicates the lasting impact of the Beowulf poem . Within the plot structure , however , the dragon functions differently in Beowulf than in Tolkien 's fiction . The dragon fight ends Beowulf , while Tolkien uses the dragon motif ( and the dragon 's love for treasure ) to trigger a chain of events in The Hobbit . Characterization ( edit ) See also : European dragon The Beowulf dragon is the earliest example in literature of the typical European dragon and first incidence of a fire - breathing dragon . The Beowulf dragon is described with Old English terms such as draca ( dragon ) , and wyrm ( reptile , or serpent ) , and as a creature with a venomous bite . Also , the Beowulf poet created a dragon with specific traits : a nocturnal , treasure - hoarding , inquisitive , vengeful , fire - breathing creature . The fire is likely symbolic of the hellfire of the devil , reminiscent of the monster in the Book of Job . In the Septuagint Bible , Job 's monster is characterized as a draco , and identified with the devil . Job 's dragon would have been accessible to the author of Beowulf , as a Christian symbol of evil , the `` great monstrous adversary of God , man and beast alike . '' A study of German and Norse texts reveals three typical narratives for the dragonslayer : a fight for the treasure , a battle to save the slayer 's people , or a fight to free a woman . The characteristics of Beowulf 's dragon appear to be specific to the poem , and the poet may have melded together dragon motifs to create a dragon with specific traits that weave together the complicated plot of the narrative . Importance ( edit ) The third act of the poem differs from the first two . In Beowulf 's two earlier battles , Grendel and Grendel 's mother are characterised as descendants of Cain : `` ( Grendel ) had long lived in the land of monsters / since the creator cast them out / as the kindred of Cain '' and seem to be humanoid : in the poet 's rendition they can be seen as giants , trolls , or monsters . The dragon , therefore , is a stark contrast to the other two antagonists . Moreover , the dragon is more overtly destructive . He burns vast amounts of territory and the homes of the Geats : `` the dragon began to belch out flames / and burn bright homesteads '' . Beowulf 's fight with the dragon has been described variously as an act of either altruism or recklessness . In contrast with the previous battles , the fight with the dragon occurs in Beowulf 's kingdom and ends in defeat , whereas Beowulf fought the other monsters victoriously in a land distant from his home . The dragon fight is foreshadowed with earlier events : Scyld Shefing 's funeral and Sigmund 's death by dragon , as recounted by a bard in Hrothgar 's hall . Beowulf scholar Alexander writes that the dragon fight likely signifies Beowulf 's ( and by extension , society 's ) battle against evil . The people 's fate depend on the outcome of the fight between the hero and the dragon , and , as a hero , Beowulf must knowingly face death . Wiglaf is the single warrior to stay and witness the death of the hero . Illustration by J.R. Skelton . Beowulf 's eventual death from the dragon presages `` warfare , death , and darkness '' for his Geats . The dragon 's hoard symbolizes the vestige of an older society , now lost to wars and famine , left behind by a survivor of that period . His imagined elegy foreshadows Beowulf 's death and elegy to come . Before he faces the dragon , Beowulf thinks of his past : his childhood and wars the Geats endured during that period , foreshadowing the future . At his death , peace in his lands will end , and his people will again suffer a period of war and hardship . An embattled society without `` social cohesion '' is represented by the avarice of the `` dragon jealously guarding its gold hoard '' , and the elegy for Beowulf becomes an elegy for the entire culture . The dragon 's hoard is representative of a people lost and antique , which is juxtaposed against the Geatish people , whose history is new and fleeting . As king of his people , Beowulf defends them against the dragon , and when his thanes desert him , the poem shows the disintegration of a `` heroic society '' which `` depends upon the honouring of mutual obligations between lord and thane '' . Wiglaf remains loyal to his king and stays to confront the dragon . The parallel in the story lies with the similarity to Beowulf 's hero Sigemund and his companion : Wiglaf is a younger companion to Beowulf and , in his courage , shows himself to be Beowulf 's successor . The presence of a companion is seen as a motif in other dragon stories , but the Beowulf poet breaks hagiographic tradition with the hero 's suffering ( hacking , burning , stabbing ) and subsequent death . Moreover , the dragon is vanquished through Wiglaf 's actions : although Beowulf dies fighting the dragon , the dragon dies at the hand of the companion . The dragon battle is structured in thirds : the preparation for the battle , the events prior to the battle , and the battle itself . Wiglaf kills the dragon halfway through the scene , Beowulf 's death occurs `` after two - thirds '' of the scene , and the dragon attacks Beowulf three times . Ultimately , as Tolkien writes in Beowulf : The Monsters and the Critics ( 1936 ) , the death by dragon `` is the right end for Beowulf , '' for he claims , `` a man can but die upon his death - day '' . Critical reception ( edit ) Before Tolkien ( edit ) In 1918 , William Witherle Lawrence argued in his article `` The Dragon and His Lair in Beowulf '' that the fight between Beowulf and the dragon tends to receive less critical attention than other portions of the poem , commenting that `` Grendel and his dam have , as it were , become more beloved of the commentators '' . Conversely , Kemp Malone writes in `` The Kenning in Beowulf '' that Beowulf 's fight with the dragon receives much critical attention , but that commentators fail to note that `` the dragon was no fighter . Not that it refused to fight when challenged , but that it did not seek out Beowulf or anyone else . It left Beowulf to do the seeking out '' . In his 1935 work Beowulf and the Seventh Century , Ritchie Girvan writes that Beowulf should be seen as having some degree of historical accuracy despite the presence of a dragon in it ; he argues that `` Tales of dragons as well as a belief in dragons survived till recent times , and the popular mind is apt to accept with credulity stories of water - monsters . The stories , moreover , are often attached to real persons and localized precisely in time and place . The habit is so well known that examples are superfluous '' . Raymond Wilson Chambers , in his Beowulf : An Introduction to the Study of the Poem with a Discussion of the Stories of Offa and Finn , says that Beowulf 's dragon acts like `` the typical dragon of Old English proverbial lore '' because he guards treasure . W.P. Ker criticized the inclusion of Beowulf 's fight with the dragon and his subsequent death in the poem , writing `` It is as if to the end of the Odyssey there had been added some later books telling in full of the old age of Odysseus , far from the sea , and his death at the hands of Telegonus '' . Tolkien , 1936 : the monsters and the Critics ( edit ) Main article : Beowulf : The Monsters and the Critics In Beowulf : The Monsters and the Critics , J.R.R. Tolkien noted that the dragon and Grendel are `` constantly referred to in language which is meant to recall the powers of darkness which Christian men felt themselves to be encompassed . They are ' inmates of hell ' , ' adversaries of God ' , ' offspring of Cain ' , ' enemies of mankind ' ... And so Beowulf , for all that he moves in the world of the primitive Heroic Age of the Germans , nevertheless is almost a Christian knight '' . After Tolkien ( edit ) Scholarly opinion ( edit ) Peter Gainsford noted in the article `` The Deaths of Beowulf and Odysseus : Narrative Time and Mythological Tale Types '' that `` In the twenty - first century Beowulf does not lack for commentators to defend the literary merit of the dragon episode '' . Adrien Bonjour opined in 1953 that the dragon 's `` ultimate significance in the poem '' remains a `` mystery '' . General opinion ( edit ) The New Yorker 's Joan Acocella wrote that `` unlike Grendel and his mother , ( the dragon ) is less a monster than a symbol . He is not sad or weird . Indeed , he is rather glamorous '' . According to Seamus Heaney , the dragon `` could be read as a projection of Beowulf 's own chthonic wisdom refined in the crucible of experience '' . James Parker of The Atlantic argues that because Beowulf dies even though he killed the dragon , `` There is no transcendence in Beowulf , and no redemption ... kill the dragon -- but the dragon will get you anyway '' . Legacy ( edit ) In From Homer to Harry Potter : A Handbook on Myth and Fantasy , Matthew Dickerson and David O'Hara argue that the Beowulf poet added the figure of the dragon to `` the pot ... that is ladeled out of by most modern fantasy writers '' ; they argued that both numerous works with villainous dragons , as well as literature with benign dragons like the My Father 's Dragon books and the Pern series by Anne McCaffrey , were influenced by Beowulf 's dragon . Dickerson and O'Hara further elaborated that through its dragon , Beowulf turned the `` notion of having a monstrous evil ( and not mere human foes ) as the enemy '' into `` a hallmark of modern fantasy '' present in C.S. Lewis ' Narnia books , Ursula K. Le Guin 's Earthsea books , and the Thomas Covenant series by Stephen Donaldson . J.R.R. Tolkien used the dragon story of Beowulf as a template for Smaug of The Hobbit ; in each case , the dragon awakens upon the hoard being disturbed by one stealing a chalice and goes into a wrathful rampage until slain by another person . Aia Hussein of the National Endowment for the Humanities has written that the fight between Harry Potter and the Hungarian Horntail in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ( 2000 ) by J.K. Rowling was influenced by the confrontation between the dragon and the title character in Beowulf . James Parker of The Atlantic saw similarities between the dragon in Beowulf and the dragons in Game of Thrones ( 2011 - present ) . The tale of Beowulf was translated and rewritten in prose as a children 's story by Rosemary Sutcliff in 1961 , titled Dragon Slayer .

Organised by cricket 's governing body , the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) , the tournament currently consists of 16 teams , comprising all ten ICC full members and six other associate or affiliate members chosen through the World Twenty20 Qualifier . All matches played are accorded Twenty20 International status . The event has generally been held every two years . However , the next edition of the tournament is scheduled to take place in 2020 in Australia , four years after the conclusion of the 2016 edition . In May 2016 , the ICC put forward the idea of having a tournament in 2018 , with South Africa being the possible host . But at the conclusion of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy , the ICC announced that the next edition of the World T20 would take place in 2020 in Australia , as originally scheduled . Six tournaments have so far been played , and only the West Indies , who currently hold the title , has won the tournament on multiple occasions . The inaugural event , the 2007 World Twenty20 , was staged in South Africa , and won by India , who defeated Pakistan in the final at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg . The 2009 tournament took place in England , and was won by the previous runner - up , Pakistan , who defeated Sri Lanka in the final at Lord 's . The third tournament was held in 2010 , hosted by the countries making up the West Indies cricket team . England defeated Australia in the final in Barbados , which was played at Kensington Oval . The fourth tournament , the 2012 World Twenty20 , was held in Asia for the first time , with all matches played in Sri Lanka . The West Indies won the tournament by defeating Sri Lanka in the final , winning its first international tournament since the 2004 Champions Trophy . The fifth tournament , the 2014 ICC World Twenty20 , was hosted by Bangladesh , and was won by Sri Lanka , who became the first team to play in three finals . West Indies are the current World T20I holders , beating England in the 2016 final , winning their second title .

Cricketing authorities were looking to boost the game 's popularity with the younger generation in response to dwindling crowds and reduced sponsorship . It was intended to deliver fast - paced , exciting cricket accessible to thousands of fans who were put off by the longer versions of the game . Stuart Robertson , the marketing manager of the ECB , proposed a 20 over per innings game to county chairmen in 2001 and they voted 11 -- 7 in favour of adopting the new format . Regional tournaments Bangladesh V South Africa at the 2007 tournament The first official Twenty20 matches were played on 13 June 2003 between the English counties in the Twenty20 Cup . The first season of Twenty20 in England was a relative success , with the Surrey Lions defeating the Warwickshire Bears by 9 wickets in the final to claim the title . The first Twenty20 match held at Lord 's , on 15 July 2004 between Middlesex and Surrey , attracted a crowd of 27,509 , the largest attendance for any county cricket game at the ground other than a one - day final since 1953 . Soon after with the adoption of Twenty20 matches by other cricket boards , the popularity of the format grew with unexpected crowd attendance , new regional tournaments such as Pakistan 's Faysal Bank T20 Cup and Stanford 20 / 20 tournament and the financial incentive in the format . The West Indies regional teams competed in what was named the Stanford 20 / 20 tournament . The event was financially backed by convicted fraudster Allen Stanford , who gave at least US $28,000,000 funding money , the fruit of his massive Ponzi scheme . It was intended that the tournament would be an annual event . Guyana won the inaugural event , defeating Trinidad and Tobago by 5 wickets , securing US $1,000,000 in prize money . A spin - off tournament , the Stanford Super Series , was held in October 2008 between Middlesex and Trinidad and Tobago , the respective winners of the English and Caribbean Twenty20 competitions , and a Stanford Superstars team formed from West Indies domestic players ; Trinidad and Tobago won the competition , securing US $280,000 prize money . On 1 November , the Stanford Superstars played England in what was expected to be the first of five fixtures in as many years with the winner claiming a US $20,000,000 in each match . Twenty20 Internationals Main article : Twenty20 International On 17 February 2005 Australia defeated New Zealand in the first men 's full international Twenty20 match , played at Eden Park in Auckland . The game was played in a light - hearted manner -- both sides turned out in kit similar to that worn in the 1980s , the New Zealand team 's a direct copy of that worn by the Beige Brigade . Some of the players also sported moustaches / beards and hair styles popular in the 1980s taking part in a competition amongst themselves for best retro look , at the request of the Beige Brigade . Australia won the game comprehensively , and as the result became obvious towards the end of the NZ innings , the players and umpires took things less seriously -- Glenn McGrath jokingly replayed the Trevor Chappell underarm incident from a 1981 ODI between the two sides , and Billy Bowden showed him a mock red card ( red cards are not normally used in cricket ) in response . Inaugural tournaments ( edit ) Lasith Malinga bowling to Shahid Afridi in the 2009 Final at Lord 's . It was first decided that every two years an ICC World Twenty20 tournament is to take place , except in the event of an Cricket World Cup being scheduled in the same year , in which case it will be held the year before . The first tournament was in 2007 in South Africa where India defeated Pakistan in the final . Two Associate teams had played in the first tournament , selected through the 2007 ICC World Cricket League Division One , a 50 - over competition . In December 2007 it was decided to hold a qualifying tournament with a 20 - over format to better prepare the teams . With six participants , two would qualify for the 2009 World Twenty20 and would each receive $250,000 in prize money . The second tournament was won by Pakistan who beat Sri Lanka by 8 wickets in England on 21 June 2009 . The 2010 ICC World Twenty20 tournament was held in West Indies in May 2010 , where England defeated Australia by 7 wickets . The 2012 ICC World Twenty20 was won by the West - Indies , by defeating Sri Lanka at the finals . For the first time , a host nation competed in the final of the ICC World Twenty20 . There were 12 participants for the title including Ireland and Afghanistan as 2012 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier . It was the first time the T20 World Cup tournament took place in an Asian country . Expansion to 16 teams ( edit ) The 2012 edition was to be expanded into a 16 team format however this was reverted to 12 . The 2014 tournament , held in Bangladesh was the first to feature 16 teams including all ten full members and six associate members who qualified through the 2013 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier . However the top eight full member teams in the ICC T20I Championship rankings on 8 October 2012 were given a place in the Super 10 stage . The remaining eight teams competed in the group stage , from which two teams advance to the Super 10 stage . Three new teams ( Nepal , Hong Kong and UAE ) made their debut in this tournament . Format ( edit ) Qualification ( edit ) See also : ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier All ICC full members qualify automatically for the tournament , with the remaining places filled by other ICC members through a qualification tournament , known as the World Twenty20 Qualifier . Qualification for the inaugural 2007 World Twenty20 came from the results of the first cycle of the World Cricket League , a 50 - over league for ICC associate and affiliate members . The two finalists of the 2007 WCL Division One tournament , Kenya and Scotland , qualified for the World Twenty20 later in the year . A separate qualification tournament was implemented for the 2009 World Twenty20 , and has been retained since then . The number of teams qualifying through the World Twenty20 Qualifier has varied , however , ranging from two ( in 2010 and 2012 ) to six ( in 2014 and 2016 ) . Final tournament ( edit ) In each group stage ( both the preliminary round and the Super 10 round ) , teams are ranked against each other based on the following criteria : Higher number of points If equal , higher number of wins If still equal , higher net run rate If still equal , lower bowling strike rate If still equal , result of head to head meeting . In case of a tie ( that is , both teams scoring the same number of runs at the end of their respective innings ) , a Super Over would decide the winner . In the case of a tie occurring again in the Super Over , the match is won by the team that has scored the most sixes in their innings . This is applicable in all stages of the tournament , having been implemented during the 2009 tournament . During the 2007 tournament , a bowl - out was used to decide the loser of tied matches . Hosts ( edit ) The International Cricket Council 's executive committee votes for the hosts of the tournament after examining bids from the nations which have expressed an interest in holding the event . After South Africa in 2007 , England , West Indies and Sri Lanka hosted the tournament in 2009 , 2010 and 2012 respectively . Bangladesh hosted the tournament in 2014 . India hosted the last edition of the tournament in 2016 . In December 2015 , Tim Anderson , the ICC 's head of global development , suggested that a future tournament be hosted by the United States . He believed that hosting the event could help spur growth of the game in the country , where it is relatively obscure and faces competition by other sports such as baseball .

NBA and NHL seasons span two calendar years . Michael Vick was suspended by the NFL in 2007 . The Atlanta Falcons were unsuccessful in a civil legal process to attempt to recoup $20 million of the $100 million in bonuses paid to Vick under terms of his contract extension . During his contract years , Michael Schumacher had significantly higher annual earnings than the athletes on this list with larger total contracts . On top of his $31 million per year paid by the Ferrari team , which alone ranked as the highest annual earnings at the time , he also earned a significant amount more per year from race winnings . David Beckham signed a five - year deal with MLS soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy that was worth a reported $251 million , but that figure included commercial endorsements ; only $5 million a year of that figure is salary from the club , while the rest will come via existing endorsements and profit sharing with the club . Lewis Hamilton signed a contract with McLaren Mercedes worth at least ₤ 70 million ( $138 million USD ) over 5 seasons ( 2008 -- 2012 ) . However , no official contract details have been released by the team . In 2010 , the NHL rejected a 17 - year , $102 million contract between the New Jersey Devils and Ilya Kovalchuk , saying that the contract was `` a circumvention of the collective bargaining agreement . '' The later years of the contract would have paid Kovalchuk only $550,000 per year , which lowered the average value per year of the contract . ( The NHL 's salary cap is based on the average value per year . ) References ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Brown , Tim ( 2014 - 11 - 17 ) . `` Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton agrees to 13 year , $325 million contract extension '' . yahoo.com .

It began operating in Australia since the late 19th Century . Administratively it is now divided between The Salvation Army , Australia Eastern Territory and The Salvation Army , Australia Southern Territory .

( May 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) The first Salvation Army meeting in Australia was held in 1880 . Edward Saunders and John Gore led the meeting from the back of a greengrocer 's cart in Adelaide Botanic Park with an offer of food for those who had not eaten . In 1883 , Major James Barker led the way to establish the first Salvation Army social institution anywhere in the world on a permanent basis , known as the `` Prison Gate '' program . Barker saw that prisoners being released from the Melbourne Gaol had nowhere to go and no work , so they inevitably re-offended and returned to gaol . Barker leased a small house in Lygon Street , Carlton , to provide accommodation for prisoners discharged from Melbourne 's gaols . This led to the formation of the Prison-Gate Brigade , the members of which met discharged prisoners upon their release and offered them a home and the prospect of a job . The Salvos also involved themselves in finding work for the unemployed and in re-uniting families . In Melbourne from 1897 to 1910 , The Army 's Limelight Department was established as Australia 's first film production company . Eighty - four cents in every dollar donated to The Salvation Army goes directly to those in need . This is one of the most efficient rates of any charity in Australia . It is thought that the name of the popular biscuit by Arnotts , SAO , stands for ' Salvation Army Officer ' . The Salvation Army helps more than one million Australians every year . In an average week , the Salvation Army provides an estimated : 100,000 meals for the hungry 2,000 beds for the homeless 5,000 to 8,000 food vouchers 1,000 people with assistance in finding employment Refuge to 500 victims of abuse Assistance to 500 people addicted to drugs , alcohol or gambling Several thousand people with counselling 3,000 elderly people with aged care services 1,000 people in the court system with chaplaincy services Family tracing services which locate 40 missing family members From these diverse activities , The Salvos have grown to be one of Australia 's most respected charitable organisations , with a 2009 survey by Sweeney Research and the advertising group Grey Global finding the Salvation Army and the nation 's Ambulance Service to be Australia 's most trusted entities . Australia 's George Carpenter was General of the Salvation Army ( worldwide leader ) from 1939 -- 1946 and Eva Burrows during the 1980s and 1990s . Salvation Army growth 19th Century ( edit ) The Salvation Army grew quickly within Australia , but it was a growth fraught with difficulty . In its early days The Salvation Army often met with suspicion , derision and violence . Salvationists simply walking down the streets would often suffer abuse and sustain injury from thrown objects . Several local councils even passed by - laws forbidding Salvation Army street processions , and the Police were liable to arrest them . From 1881 to 1907 , across the country , more than 100 Salvationists were fined or jailed for holding street - meetings and marches . `` Almost every night some of our soldiers are getting hurt . One night during the week , as we were all having our usual open - air meeting , a crowd of 200 roughs gathered around , and threw lumps of road metal . One piece struck the Captain on the mouth and split one of his teeth , and loosened two others ; yet , with all , we were able to sing , ' Hallelujah ! ' `` Another night a sister got struck on the head , almost forcing her to the ground . In the face of all , there are certain officials of the law who stand by and enjoy the brutal sport . '' -- War Cry magazine Brisbane circa 1900 Despite persecution and prosecution the number of Salvation Army Corps grew at an amazing rate , so much so that by 1900 there were over 1,300 Corps and outposts across Australia and New Zealand and The Salvation Army in Australasia could boast the following statistics : Officers & Cadets & Employees : 1929 Soldiers ( Members ) estimated at 50,000 Corps ( Churches ) : 512 Outposts : 858 Training Homes : 2 Women 's Industrial Homes : 4 Rescue Homes : 16 Maternity Homes : 7 Slum Posts & Women 's Shelters : 5 Prison-Gate Brigade Homes : 7 Men 's Shelters & Labour Yards : 6 Men 's Industrial Homes & Farms : 7 League of Mercy : 4 Military Home : 1 Australian sex abuse cases ( edit ) See also : Forgotten Australians and Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse From the 1940s to the 1980s the Salvation Army in Australia sheltered approximately 30,000 children . In 2006 the Australian Salvation Army acknowledged that sexual abuse may have occurred during this time and issued an apology . In it , the Army explicitly rejected a claim , made by a party unnamed in the apology , that there were as many as 500 potential claimants . In 2013 it was reported that private settlements totalling A $ 15.5 million had been made in Victoria relating to 474 abuse cases ; a Salvation Army spokesman said that `` This should not have happened and this was a breach of the trust placed in us '' and that they were `` deeply sorry '' whilst claiming that the abuse was `` the result of individuals and not a culture within the organisation . '' On 28 January 2014 , the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse , a royal commission of inquiry initiated in 2013 by the Australian Government and supported by all of its state governments , began an investigation into abuse cases at the Alkira Salvation Army Home for Boys at Indooroopilly ; the Riverview Training Farm ( also known as Endeavour Training Farm ) at Riverview -- both in Queensland ; the Bexley Boys ' Home at Bexley ; and the Gill Memorial Home at Goulburn -- both in New South Wales . The investigation also examined The Salvation Army 's processes in investigating , disciplining , removing and / or transferring anyone accused of , or found to have engaged in , child sexual abuse in these homes . On 27 March 2014 , the Royal Commission began an investigation into the handling by The Salvation Army ( Eastern Territory ) of claims of child sexual abuse between 1993 and 2014 . Many questions were raised during the course of the investigation as to whether high - ranking members of the organisation knew about these cases of child sexual abuse and failed to investigate , discipline , sack and prosecute sex offenders while boys and girls were beaten , bashed and raped . The Royal Commission published a case study report on the findings and recommendations for one of the abovementioned case studies .

"The first Salvation Army meeting in Australia was held in 1880. Edward Saunders and John Gore led the meeting from the back of a greengrocer's cart in Adelaide Botanic Park with an offer of food for those who had not eaten.[1] In 1883, Major James Barker led the way to establish the first Salvation Army social institution anywhere in the world on a permanent basis, known as the \"Prison Gate\" program. Barker saw that prisoners being released from the Melbourne Gaol had nowhere to go and no work, so they inevitably re-offended and returned to gaol. Barker leased a small house in Lygon Street, Carlton, to provide accommodation for prisoners discharged from Melbourne's gaols. This led to the formation of the Prison-Gate Brigade, the members of which met discharged prisoners upon their release and offered them a home and the prospect of a job.[2] The Salvos also involved themselves in finding work for the unemployed and in re-uniting families. In Melbourne from 1897 to 1910, The Army's Limelight Department was established as Australia's first film production company.[3]"

-6714250643340069294 | Maximum life span | Maximum life span - wikipedia Maximum life span Maximum life span ( or , for humans , maximum reported age at death ) is a measure of the maximum amount of time one or more members of a population have been observed to survive between birth and death . The term can also denote an estimate of the maximum amount of time that a member of a given species could survive between birth and death , provided circumstances that are optimal to that member 's longevity . Most living species have at least one upper limit on the number of times the cells of a member can divide . This is called the Hayflick limit , although number of cell divisions does not strictly control lifespan . Contents 1 Definition 2 In humans 3 In other animals 3.1 Exceptions 4 In plants 5 Increasing maximum life span 6 Correlation with DNA repair capacity 7 Research data 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Definition ( edit ) In animal studies , maximum span is often taken to be the mean life span of the most long - lived 10 % of a given cohort . By another definition , however , maximum life span corresponds to the age at which the oldest known member of a species or experimental group has died . Calculation of the maximum life span in the latter sense depends upon initial sample size . Maximum life span contrasts with mean life span ( average life span , life expectancy ) , and longevity . Mean life span varies with susceptibility to disease , accident , suicide and homicide , whereas maximum life span is determined by `` rate of aging '' . Longevity refers only to the characteristics of the especially long lived members of a population , such as infirmities as they age or compression of morbidity , and not the specific life span of an individual . In humans ( edit ) Main articles : Oldest people and List of the verified oldest people The longest - living person whose dates of birth and death were verified to the modern norms of Guinness World Records and the Gerontology Research Group was Jeanne Calment ( 1875 - 1997 ) , a French woman who lived to 122 . Reduction of infant mortality has accounted for most of the increased average life span longevity , but since the 1960s mortality rates among those over 80 years have decreased by about 1.5 % per year . `` The progress being made in lengthening lifespans and postponing senescence is entirely due to medical and public - health efforts , rising standards of living , better education , healthier nutrition and more salubrious lifestyles . '' Animal studies suggest that further lengthening of human lifespan could be achieved through `` calorie restriction mimetic '' drugs or by directly reducing food consumption . Although calorie restriction has not been proven to extend the maximum human life span , as of 2014 , results in ongoing primate studies have demonstrated that the assumptions derived from rodents are valid in primates as well ( Reference : Nature 1 April 2014 ) . No fixed theoretical limit to human longevity is apparent today . `` A fundamental question in aging research is whether humans and other species possess an immutable life - span limit . '' `` The assumption that the maximum human life span is fixed has been justified , ( but ) is invalid in a number of animal models and ... may become invalid for humans as well . '' Studies in the biodemography of human longevity indicate a late - life mortality deceleration law : that death rates level off at advanced ages to a late - life mortality plateau . That is , there is no fixed upper limit to human longevity , or fixed maximal human lifespan . This law was first quantified in 1939 , when researchers found that the one - year probability of death at advanced age asymptotically approaches a limit of 44 % for women and 54 % for men . Scientists have observed that a person 's VO max value ( a measure of the volume of oxygen flow to the cardiac muscle ) decreases as a function of age . Therefore , the maximum lifespan of a person could be determined by calculating when the person 's VO max value drops below the basal metabolic rate necessary to sustain life , which is approximately 3 ml per kg per minute . On the basis of this hypothesis , athletes with a VO max value between 50 and 60 at age 20 would be expected `` to live for 100 to 125 years , provided they maintained their physical activity so that their rate of decline in VO max remained constant '' . Average and commonly accepted maximum lifespans correspond to the extremums of the body mass ( 1 , 2 ) and mass normalized to height ( 3 , 4 ) of men ( 1 , 3 ) and women ( 2 , 4 ) . A theoretical study suggested the maximum human lifespan to be around 125 years using a modified stretched exponential function for human survival curves . The analysis of dynamics of the body mass in human population indicates extremums , which correspond to mean ( 70 - 75 years ) , the commonly accepted maximum ( 100 -- 110 years ) and maximum known ( 140 -- 160 years ) lifespan . In another study , researchers claimed that there exists a maximum lifespan for humans , and that the human maximal lifespan has been declining since the 1990s . This study is now disputed on the basis of simple coding errors and biased sampling . This study also supports a continuing increase in both theoretical and observed upper human lifespan , based on observed data from 200 national populations . However , a theoretical study also suggested that the maximum human life expectancy at birth is limited by the human life characteristic value δ , which is around 104 years . The United Nations has undertaken an important Bayesian sensitivity analysis of global population burden based on life expectancy projection at birth in future decades . The 2017 95 % prediction interval of 2090 average life expectancy rises as high as + 6 ( 106 , in Century Representation Form ) by 2090 , with dramatic , ongoing , layered consequences on world population and demography should that happen . The prediction interval is extremely wide , and the United Nations can not be certain . Organizations like the Methuselah Foundation are working toward an end to senescence and practically unlimited human lifespan . If successful , the demographic implications for human population will be greater in effective multiplier terms than any experienced in the last five centuries if maximum lifespan remains unlimited by law . In other animals ( edit ) Main article : List of longest - living organisms Small animals such as birds and squirrels rarely live to their maximum life span , usually dying of accidents , disease or predation . The maximum life span of most species is documented in the Anage repository . Maximum life span is usually longer for species that are larger or have effective defenses against predation , such as bird flight , chemical defenses or living in social groups . The differences in life span between species demonstrate the role of genetics in determining maximum life span ( `` rate of aging '' ) . The records ( in years ) are these : for common house mouse , 4 for Brown rat , 3.8 for dogs , 29 ( See List of oldest dogs ) for cats , 38 for polar bears , 42 ( Debby ) for horses , 62 for Asian elephants , 86 The longest - lived vertebrates have been variously described as Large parrots ( Macaws and cockatoos can live up to 80 -- 100 years in captivity ) Koi ( A Japanese species of fish , allegedly living up to 200 years , though generally not exceeding 50 -- A specimen named Hanako was reportedly 226 years old upon her death ) Tortoises ( Galápagos tortoise ) ( 190 years ) Tuataras ( a New Zealand reptile species , 100 -- 200 + years ) Eels , the so - called Brantevik Eel ( Swedish : Branteviksålen ) is thought to have lived in a water well in southern Sweden since 1859 , which makes it over 150 years old . It was reported that it had died in August 2014 at an age of 155 . Whales ( Bowhead Whale ) ( Balaena mysticetus about 200 years ) Although this idea was unproven for a time , recent research has indicated that bowhead whales recently killed still had harpoons in their bodies from about 1890 , which , along with analysis of amino acids , has indicated a maximum life span , stated as `` the 211 year - old bowhead could have been from 177 to 245 years old '' . Greenland Sharks are currently the vertebrate species with the longest known lifespan . An examination of 28 specimens in one study published in 2016 determined by radiocarbon dating that the oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for about 392 ± 120 years ( a minimum of 272 years and a maximum of 512 years ) . The authors further concluded that the species reaches sexual maturity at about 150 years of age . Invertebrate species which continue to grow as long as they live ( e.g. , certain clams , some coral species ) can on occasion live hundreds of years : A bivalve mollusc ( Arctica islandica ) ( aka `` Ming '' , lived 507 ± 2 years . ) Exceptions ( edit ) Some jellyfish species , including Turritopsis dohrnii , Laodicea undulata , and Aurelia sp. 1 , are able to revert to the polyp stage even after reproducing ( so called life cycle reversal ) , rather than dying as in other jellyfish . Consequently , these species are considered biologically immortal and have no maximum lifespan . There may be no natural limit to the Hydra 's life span , but it is not yet clear how to estimate the age of a specimen . Flatworms , or Platyhelminthes , are known to be `` almost immortal '' as they have a great regeneration capacity , continuous growth and binary fission type cellular division . Lobsters are sometimes said to be biologically immortal because they do n't seem to slow down , weaken , or lose fertility with age . However , due to the energy needed for moulting , they can not live indefinitely . Tardigrades can live indefinitely in a state of suspended animation , a state which they enter when they are not hydrated . In this state , they can withstand an extremely large number of environmental pressures , including intense radioactivity and heat , and being sent into space . Despite this , they can only live in a hydrated state for a few months . In plants ( edit ) Main article : List of oldest trees Plants are referred to as annuals which live only one year , biennials which live two years , and perennials which live longer than that . The longest - lived perennials , woody - stemmed plants such as trees and bushes , often live for hundreds and even thousands of years ( one may question whether or not they may die of old age ) . A giant sequoia , General Sherman is alive and well in its third millennium . A Great Basin Bristlecone Pine called Methuselah is 4,848 years old ( as of 2017 ) and the Bristlecone Pine called Prometheus was a little older still , at least 4,844 years ( and possibly as old as 5,000 years ) , when it was cut down in 1964 . The oldest known plant ( possibly oldest living thing ) is a clonal Quaking Aspen ( Populus tremuloides ) tree colony in the Fishlake National Forest in Utah called Pando at about 80,000 years . Lichen , a symbiotic algae and fungal proto - plant , such as Rhizocarpon geographicum can live upwards of 10,000 years . Increasing maximum life span ( edit ) Main article : Life extension `` Maximum life span '' here means the mean life span of the most long - lived 10 % of a given cohort . Caloric restriction has not yet been shown to break mammalian world records for longevity . Rats , mice , and hamsters experience maximum life - span extension from a diet that contains all of the nutrients but only 40 -- 60 % of the calories that the animals consume when they can eat as much as they want . Mean life span is increased 65 % and maximum life span is increased 50 % , when caloric restriction is begun just before puberty . For fruit flies the life extending benefits of calorie restriction are gained immediately at any age upon beginning calorie restriction and ended immediately at any age upon resuming full feeding . A few transgenic strains of mice have been created that have maximum life spans greater than that of wild - type or laboratory mice . The Ames and Snell mice , which have mutations in pituitary transcription factors and hence are deficient in Gh , LH , TSH , and secondarily IGF1 , have extensions in maximal lifespan of up to 65 % . To date , both in absolute and relative terms , these Ames and Snell mice have the maximum lifespan of any mouse not on caloric restriction ( see below on GhR ) . Mutations / knockout of other genes affecting the GH / IGF1 axis , such as Lit , Ghr and Irs1 have also shown extension in lifespan , but much more modest both in relative and absolute terms . The longest lived laboratory mouse ever was a Ghr knockout mouse , which lived to ≈ 1800 days in the lab of Andrzej Bartke at Southern Illinois University . The maximum for normal B6 mice under ideal conditions is 1200 days . Most biomedical gerontologists believe that biomedical molecular engineering will eventually extend maximum lifespan and even bring about rejuvenation . Anti-aging drugs are a potential tool for extending life . Aubrey de Grey , a theoretical gerontologist , has proposed that aging can be reversed by Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence . De Grey has established The Methuselah Mouse Prize to award money to researchers who can extend the maximum life span of mice . So far , three Mouse Prizes have been awarded : one for breaking longevity records to Dr. Andrzej Bartke of Southern Illinois University ( using GhR knockout mice ) ; one for late - onset rejuvenation strategies to Dr. Stephen Spindler of the University of California ( using caloric restriction initiated late in life ) ; and one to Dr. Z. Dave Sharp for his work with the pharmaceutical rapamycin . Correlation with DNA repair capacity ( edit ) The neutrality of this article is disputed . Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page . Please do not remove this message until conditions to do so are met . ( July 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Main article : DNA damage theory of aging Accumulated DNA damage appears to be a limiting factor in the determination of maximum life span . The theory that DNA damage is the primary cause of aging , and thus a principal determinant of maximum life span , has attracted increased interest in recent years . This is based , in part , on evidence in human and mouse that inherited deficiencies in DNA repair genes often cause accelerated aging . There is also substantial evidence that DNA damage accumulates with age in mammalian tissues , such as those of the brain , muscle , liver and kidney ( reviewed by Bernstein et al. and see DNA damage theory of aging and DNA damage ( naturally occurring ) ) . One expectation of the theory ( that DNA damage is the primary cause of aging ) is that among species with differing maximum life spans , the capacity to repair DNA damage should correlate with lifespan . The first experimental test of this idea was by Hart and Setlow who measured the capacity of cells from seven different mammalian species to carry out DNA repair . They found that nucleotide excision repair capability increased systematically with species longevity . This correlation was striking and stimulated a series of 11 additional experiments in different laboratories over succeeding years on the relationship of nucleotide excision repair and life span in mammalian species ( reviewed by Bernstein and Bernstein ) . In general , the findings of these studies indicated a good correlation between nucleotide excision repair capacity and life span . The association between nucleotide excision repair capability and longevity is strengthened by the evidence that defects in nucleotide excision repair proteins in humans and rodents cause features of premature aging , as reviewed by Diderich . Further support for the theory that DNA damage is the primary cause of aging comes from study of Poly ADP ribose polymerases ( PARPs ) . PARPs are enzymes that are activated by DNA strand breaks and play a role in DNA base excision repair . Burkle et al. reviewed evidence that PARPs , and especially PARP - 1 , are involved in maintaining mammalian longevity . The life span of 13 mammalian species correlated with poly ( ADP ribosyl ) ation capability measured in mononuclear cells . Furthermore , lymphoblastoid cell lines from peripheral blood lymphocytes of humans over age 100 had a significantly higher poly ( ADP - ribosyl ) ation capability than control cell lines from younger individuals . Research data ( edit ) A comparison of the heart mitochondria in rats ( 7 - year maximum life span ) and pigeons ( 35 - year maximum life span ) showed that pigeon mitochondria leak fewer free - radicals than rat mitochondria , despite the fact that both animals have similar metabolic rate and cardiac output For mammals there is a direct relationship between mitochondrial membrane fatty acid saturation and maximum life span Studies of the liver lipids of mammals and a bird ( pigeon ) show an inverse relationship between maximum life span and number of double bonds Selected species of birds and mammals show an inverse relationship between telomere rate of change ( shortening ) and maximum life span Maximum life span correlates negatively with antioxidant enzyme levels and free - radicals production and positively with rate of DNA repair Female mammals express more Mn − SOD and glutathione peroxidase antioxidant enzymes than males . This has been hypothesized as the reason they live longer However , mice entirely lacking in glutathione peroxidase 1 do not show a reduction in lifespan . The maximum life span of transgenic mice has been extended about 20 % by overexpression of human catalase targeted to mitochondria A comparison of 7 non-primate mammals ( mouse , hamster , rat , guinea - pig , rabbit , pig and cow ) showed that the rate of mitochondrial superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production in heart and kidney were inversely correlated with maximum life span A study of 8 non-primate mammals showed an inverse correlation between maximum life span and oxidative damage to mtDNA ( mitochondrial DNA ) in heart & brain A study of several species of mammals and a bird ( pigeon ) indicated a linear relationship between oxidative damage to protein and maximum life span There is a direct correlation between DNA repair and maximum life span for mammalian species Drosophila ( fruit - flies ) bred for 15 generations by only using eggs that were laid toward the end of reproductive life achieved maximum life spans 30 % greater than that of controls Overexpression of the enzyme which synthesizes glutathione in long - lived transgenic Drosophila ( fruit - flies ) extended maximum lifespan by nearly 50 % A mutation in the age − 1 gene of the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans increased mean life span 65 % and maximum life span 110 % . However , the degree of lifespan extension in relative terms by both the age - 1 and daf - 2 mutations is strongly dependent on ambient temperature , with ≈ 10 % extension at 16 ° C and 65 % extension at 27 ° C . Fat - specific Insulin Receptor KnockOut ( FIRKO ) mice have reduced fat mass , normal calorie intake and an increased maximum life span of 18 % . The capacity of mammalian species to detoxify the carcinogenic chemical benzo ( a ) pyrene to a water - soluble form also correlates well with maximum life span . Short - term induction of oxidative stress due to calorie restriction increases life span in Caenorhabditis elegans by promoting stress defense , specifically by inducing an enzyme called catalase . As shown by Michael Ristow and co-workers nutritive antioxidants completely abolish this extension of life span by inhibiting a process called mitohormesis .

Forcing Caesar and his tribe of intelligent apes against a rogue U.S. military faction known as Alpha - Omega . Led by a ruthless Colonel , Alpha - Omega employs many apes formerly loyal to Koba . These apes are derogatorily called `` donkeys '' . An attack by an Alpha - Omega platoon on an ape colony is rebuffed when Caesar rallies his apes in defense . Capturing alive a soldier named Preacher , three other soldiers and `` donkey '' gorilla named Red , Caesar explains that he executed Koba for causing the war and only desires peace . Caesar then releases the soldiers , hoping the display of mercy will show the Colonel that the apes are not savages . Meanwhile , Red escapes by injuring the albino gorilla Winter . While ceremonially disposing of the dead apes , Caesar welcomes back his eldest son Blue Eyes and his lieutenant Rocket from a long journey . Blue Eyes reports that they have found a place across the desert that is ideal for them . An uneasy Winter beseeches that the tribe leave immediately . Though agreeing to leave , Caesar feels they need to prepare first . That night , the Colonel leads a team of soldiers in infiltrating the ape 's home . Believing he had succeeded , the Colonel begins to leave only to be discovered by Caesar . Enraged upon seeing that the human killed his wife Cornelia and son , he attempts to prevent the Colonel 's escape but fails . After the attack the apes can not find Winter . In the morning , the tribe gathers to journey to safety . Leaving his youngest son , Cornelius , in the care of Blue Eyes ' wife Lake , Caesar departs to exact revenge while serving as the decoy for the other apes . Accompanied by his orangutan adviser Maurice , gorilla lieutenant Luca , and Rocket , the apes enter an abandoned village where they kill a deserted soldier in self - defense . Searching the village the apes discover a mute girl . Maurice befriends and adopts the girl , giving her a small rag doll . At a beach side military camp , the apes spot Winter inside and the group sneak in . Winter , who became a `` donkey '' , tells Caesar that the Colonel has departed for the border , to meet soldiers from the north . Winter attempts to call out for help but the apes restrain him and in the struggle Caesar accidentally kills him . In the morning the military breaks camp and the apes follow . Along the way , the apes discover some soldiers who have been shot and left for dead . Their examination of a surviving soldier reveals that he is mute like the girl . Dying from his wounds , Caesar kills him in an act of mercy . Climbing atop a radio tower , the apes search for direction the soldier 's traveled . During this , a hooded figure steals one of their horses and the apes give chase . Ending at a lodge , the apes corner the figure who is revealed to be a chimpanzee named Bad Ape . The group is surprised to discover he is an intelligent ape but from another zoo . While camping with Bad Ape they discover he knows where the border is and he hesitantly agrees to lead them there . The group reach the border where they see a quarantine facility . When attempting to get a closer look , Luca is killed protecting Caesar from some soldiers . An angered Caesar decides to proceed alone rather than endanger his allies further . At the facility , Caesar learns that Alpha - Omega captured his tribe and are forcing them to build a wall without food or water . Caesar is then captured by Red who brings him to the Colonel . The Colonel tells Caesar that he intended to kill him rather than his son and wife . With an act of defiance Caesar causes the other apes to stop working but the Colonel threatens to kill Caesar to get the apes to continue working . Caesar deduces that the Colonel is barricading the facility to fend off other military who are against him for killing his own soldiers . The Colonel commends Caesar 's intelligence and goes on to tell Caesar that the Simian Flu virus had mutated and the human carriers became mute and devolved into a primitive state . The mutation infecting his only son , The Colonel killed him and ordered his men to kill anyone that happens to be infected or defies his instruction . A survivor of this purge told the military in the north who sent men to relieve the Colonel of his command . The Colonel says he spared one person to give a message to the military to come after him at the facility . The Colonel knows that the facility used to be a weapons depot and plans on using it 's resources to fight off the military . Finally the Colonel declares that he is fighting a `` holy war '' for humanity 's survival and redemption . Caesar is tortured with starvation to force his clan to work . The mute girl sneaks into the facility to give Caesar food , water , and her rag doll . To prevent her from being discovered , Rocket allows himself to be captured as a diversion . The next day , the Colonel comes to see if Caesar is still alive , and confiscates the doll upon discovering it . Together , Caesar and Rocket are able to work out a means of escape via an underground tunnel leading out of the facility . Here Maurice names the girl Nova , and along with Bad Ape use the tunnel to rescue the apes , but Caesar remains behind to settle his affair with the Colonel as the facility comes under attack by the northern army . Caesar finds the Colonel has been infected by the virus from contact with Nova 's doll . Caesar chooses not to kill the Colonel , instead watching him commit suicide with his pistol . The escaping apes are caught in the crossfire between the two armies . Red watches the apes suffering and begins to doubt his allegiance to Alpha - Omega . Caesar attempts to blow up a large fuel tank to take out the Alpha - Omega forces from behind but he is shot with a crossbow by Preacher . Red uses a grenade launcher to kill Preacher and saves Caesar 's life but is shot dead by a soldier . Caesar succeeds in blowing up the fuel tank and escapes the facility as it is consumed in cascade of explosions . The victorious northern army notices Caesar but before they can kill him , an avalanche descends upon the base . The apes , carrying Nova , all survive by climbing nearby trees . The apes then cross the desert to find an oasis . While the other apes joyously celebrate their new home , Maurice discovers Caesar 's fatal arrow wound . Maurice promises to tell Cornelius who his father was and what he did for their tribe . Caesar then slowly and silently succumbs to his wounds , dying peacefully while Maurice and the other apes look on .

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

Marketing ( edit ) Special behind - the - scenes footage for the film was aired on TV on November 22 , 2015 , as part of a contest announcement presented by director Matt Reeves and Andy Serkis . The footage aired during The Walking Dead on AMC . The announcement allowed winners to wear a performance - capture suit and appear in a scene as an ape . The announcement was released on 20th Century Fox 's official YouTube page later the same day . At a New York Comic Con special event on October 6 , Reeves , Serkis and producer Dylan Clark debuted an exclusive look at the film . Serkis has also mentioned that the film would be accompanied by a video game , for which he performed motion capture . Titled Planet of the Apes : Last Frontier , the game was released for the PlayStation 4 , Xbox One and PC in fall 2017 . Home media ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes was released on Digital HD on October 10 , 2017 , and on Blu - ray and DVD on October 24 , 2017 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment . Reception ( edit ) Box Office ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes grossed $146.9 million in the United States and Canada and $343.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $490.7 million , against a production budget of $150 million . In North America , the film was projected to gross $50 -- 60 million in its opening weekend , however , given its acclaimed status and strong word - of - mouth , rival studios believed the film had the potential to debut as high as $70 -- 80 million . War was closely monitored by analysts while the summer was witnessing a decline in ticket sales , a situation that they blamed on franchise fatigue for an overabundance of sequels and reboots ( such as Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Men Tell No Tales , Transformers : The Last Knight and The Mummy ) . However , box office analysts noted that well - reviewed films have tended to perform in - line with estimates ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 , Wonder Woman and Spider - Man : Homecoming ) . The film grossed $5 million from Thursday night previews at 3,021 theaters , up 22 % from the $4.1 million earned by its predecessor , and $22.1 million on its first day . It went on to debut to $56.3 million , topping the box office , albeit with a 22 % drop from Dawn 's $72.6 million debut . In its second weekend , the film grossed $20.9 million ( a drop of 62.9 % , more than the 50.4 % fall Dawn saw ) , finishing 4th at the box office . In its third weekend , the film made $10.5 million ( dropping another 49.9 % ) , finishing 6th at the box office . It was lower than the third weeks of both Rise ( $16.1 million ) and Dawn ( $16.8 million ) . Outside North America , War for the Planet of the Apes received a scattered release in a span of three months ( July -- September ) . The film began its release in about a third of the marketplace on July 14 , albeit only in two major markets , and was projected to have an opening of $50 -- 60 million , with the potential to go higher if smaller Asian markets over-perform , as they have for recent tent poles . The film ended up having an international debut of $44.2 million , including $9.27 million in the United Kingdom . Critical response ( edit ) War for the Planet of the Apes received praise for the cast 's performances ( particularly Serkis ) , Reeves 's direction , visual effects , musical score , cinematography and its morally complex storyline . On review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes , the film has an approval rating of 93 % based on 294 reviews , with a rating average of 8.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` War for the Planet of the Apes combines breathtaking special effects and a powerful , poignant narrative to conclude this rebooted trilogy on a powerful -- and truly blockbuster -- note . '' On review aggregator Metacritic , which assigns a weighted average rating to reviews , the film has a score of 82 out of 100 , based on 50 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A -- '' on an A+ to F scale , the same score earned by its two immediate predecessors . Scott Collura of IGN awarded the film a score of 9.5 out of 10 , saying : `` War for the Planet of the Apes is an excellent closing act to this rebooted trilogy , but also one that does enough world - building that the series can potentially continue from here -- and it 's a rare case where , after three movies , we 're left wanting more . '' A.O. Scott of The New York Times said of the film , `` `` War for the Planet of the Apes , '' directed by Matt Reeves , is the grimmest episode so far , and also the strongest , a superb example -- rare in this era of sloppily constructed , commercially hedged cinematic universes -- of clear thinking wedded to inventive technique in popular filmmaking , '' and lauded Andy Serkis 's performance in the film , stating that `` Andy Serkis 's performance as Caesar is one of the marvels of modern screen acting . '' Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars , and said that Serkis performed `` with a resonant power and depth of feeling that 's nearly Shakespearean . Oscar , get busy : Serkis deserves the gold , '' and went on to say that `` War for the Planet of the Apes -- No. 9 in the simian cinema canon -- is the best of the Apes films since the 1968 original . '' Eric Kohn of Indiewire gave the film a B+ rating , and praised Matt Reeves 's directing , saying `` It 's a given that an expensive 21st century sci - fi movie with talking animals , exploding tanks , and jarring machine guns would look and sound great , but Reeves applies these effects with such a measured strategy that they 're always working in service of a greater narrative agenda . '' Kohn went on to applaud the visuals and musical score , stating that `` The breathlessly paced montage of flying bullets and angry monkeys raining down on terrified men , aided by Michael Giacchino 's vibrant score , is a strong indicator of the next - level craftsmanship that distinguishes these movies from so many cacophonous Hollywood spectacles ; not only is the action easy to follow , but you care for the motion - captured characters at the center of it , while the humans cower in fear .

Age range 7 + Cards 108 Playing time Normally , up to an hour but can go longer Random chance easy Uno ( / ˈuːnoʊ / ; from Italian and Spanish for ' one ' ; stylized as UNO ) is an American shedding - type card game that is played with a specially printed deck . The game 's general principles put it into the Crazy Eights family of card games . The game was originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading , Ohio , a suburb of Cincinnati . It has been a Mattel brand since 1992 . When his family and friends began to play more and more , he spent $8,000 to have 5,000 copies of the game made . He sold it from his barbershop at first , and local businesses began to sell it as well . Robins later sold the rights to UNO to a group of friends headed by Robert Tezak , a funeral parlor owner in Joliet , Illinois , for $50,000 plus royalties of 10 cents per game . Tezak formed International Games , Inc. , to market UNO , with offices behind his funeral parlor . The games were produced by Lewis Saltzman of Saltzman Printers in Maywood , Illinois . In 1992 , International Games became part of the Mattel family of companies. There can be 2 - 10 players .

Action cards ( Skip , Draw Two and Reverse ) are worth 20 Points while Wild and Wild Draw Four cards are worth 50 Points . The deck consists of 108 cards , of which there are 25 of each color ( red , green , blue , and yellow ) , each color having two of each rank except zero . The ranks in each color are zero to nine , `` Skip '' , `` Draw Two '' , and `` Reverse '' ( the last three being `` action cards '' ) . In addition , the deck contains four each of `` Wild '' and `` Wild Draw Four '' cards . To start a hand , seven cards are dealt to each player , with the top card of the deck flipped over and set aside to begin the discard pile . The player to the dealer 's left plays first unless the first card on the discard pile is an action or Wild card ( see below ) . On a player 's turn , they must do one of the following : play a card matching the discard in color , number , or symbol play a Wild card , or a playable Wild Draw Four card ( see restriction below ) draw the top card of the deck Play proceeds clockwise around the table . Action and Wild cards have the following effects : Card Effect when played from hand Effect as first discard Skip Next player in sequence misses a turn Player to dealer 's left misses a turn Reverse Order of play switches directions ( clockwise to counterclockwise , or vice versa ) Dealer plays first ; play proceeds counterclockwise Draw Two ( + 2 ) Next player in sequence draws two cards and misses a turn Player to dealer 's left draws two cards and misses a turn Wild Player determines the next color to be matched ( may be used on any turn even if the player has matching color ) Player who puts the color card down chooses the color of the new card by putting down a card of that color . Wild Draw Four / Draw Four Wild ( + 4 and wild ) Player determines next color to be matched ; next player in sequence draws four cards and misses a turn . May be legally played only if the player has no cards of the current color ( see Penalties ) Return card to the deck , shuffle , flip top card to start discard pile A player who draws from the deck must either play or keep that card and may play no other card from their hand on that turn . A player may play a Wild card at any time , even if that player has other playable cards . A player may play a Wild Draw Four card only if that player has no cards matching the current color . The player may have cards of a different color matching the current number or symbol or a Wild card and still play the Wild Draw Four card . A player who plays a Wild Draw Four may be challenged by the next player in sequence ( see Penalties ) to prove that their hand meets this condition . If the entire deck is used during play , the top discard is set aside and the rest of the pile is shuffled to create a new deck . Play then proceeds normally . It is illegal to trade cards of any sort with another player . A player who plays their next - to - last - card must call `` Uno '' as a warning to the other players . The first player to get rid of their last card ( `` going out '' ) wins the hand and scores points for the cards held by the other players . Number cards count their face value , all action cards count 20 , and Wild and Wild Draw Four cards count 50 . If a Draw Two or Wild Draw Four card is played to go out , the next player in the sequence must draw the appropriate number of cards before the score is tallied . If the next player has a Draw Two or Wild Draw Four card , it can be stacked and possibly bring the `` out '' player back into play . The first player to score 500 points wins the game . Penalties ( edit ) If a player does not call `` Uno '' after laying down their next - to - last card and is caught before the next player in sequence takes a turn ( i.e. , plays a card from their hand , draws from the deck , or touches the discard pile ) , they must draw two cards as a penalty . If the player is not caught in time ( subject to interpretation ) or remembers to call `` Uno '' before being caught , they suffer no penalty . If a player falsely calls `` Uno '' while having multiple cards in their hand , they must draw two cards . If a player plays a Wild Draw Four card , the following player can challenge its use . The player who used the Wild Draw Four must privately show their hand to the challenging player , in order to demonstrate that they had no matching colored cards . If the challenge is correct , then the challenged player draws four cards instead . If the challenge is wrong , then the challenger must draw six cards ; the four cards they were already required to draw plus two more cards . Two - player game ( edit ) In a two - player game , the Reverse card acts like a Skip card ; when played , the other player misses a turn . House rules ( edit ) The following house rules are suggested in the Uno rulebook , to alter the game : Progressive Uno : If a draw card is played , and the following player has the same card , they can play that card and `` stack '' the penalty , which adds to the current penalty and passes it to the following player . Seven - O : When a certain card is played , the player is able to trade hands with another player or with all players . For example , the person who played the 7 card is able to switch all of their cards with another player ; the player who played the 0 card is able to make every player exchange all their cards to the next player . Jump - In : If a player has exactly the same card ( both number and color ) as the top card of the discard pile , they may play it immediately , even if it is not their turn . The game then continues as if that player had just taken their turn . Strategies ( edit ) A strategy at Uno may be offensive ( aiming to go out ) , or defensive ( aiming to minimize the value of one 's hand , in the event that another player goes out , thus getting those points ) . Part of the skill of playing Uno is knowing when to adopt an offensive or defensive strategy . An offensive strategy would be holding on to Wild and Wild Draw Four cards because they can be played near the end of the hand in order to go out ( when it 's harder to play a matching card ) . However , a defensive strategy would advise getting rid of such cards early , because they have a high point value . A defensive strategy would advise playing a high card in order to reduce the point value of the hand . However , an offensive strategy would suggest playing a 0 when the player wants to continue on the current color , because it is less likely to be matched by another 0 of a different color ( there is only one 0 of each color , but two of each 1 -- 9 ) . A player holding only one card is required to call out `` Uno '' or risk being penalized if caught . A player who calls `` Uno '' risks being the target of concerted action by the other players , who may be able to use action cards to prevent that player from going out . Depending on the level and seriousness of play , some players may deliberately avoid saying `` Uno '' , in the hope of avoiding detection and then going out on the next turn . For this reason , it is useful to conceal how many cards are in your hand and to keep track of how many cards every other player holds . Little has been published on the optimal strategy for the game of Uno . Simulations of games may shed some light on the matter . Attempts to reduce point count in a player 's hands can be `` read '' by other players if too transparent . This information can be exploited by other players , and it follows that a mixed strategy may be more appropriate . Some work has been done into the psychology of Uno as it relates to individual and group behavior . Players may exhibit physical tells , in which a subtle , often repeated , cue inadvertently reveals their state of mind during a game . Alternatively , they may change their playing style , switching from an aggressive card - shedding strategy to a more subdued one , or vice versa . Card and deck styles ( edit ) A deck of English Uno cards from 1994 . This particular deck uses the older card design , where letters appear on the action cards instead of symbols . The new Uno action cards bear symbols which denote their action , except for the Wild cards which still bear the word `` Wild . '' Before the design change , such cards in English versions of the game had letters only . Especially old English versions can be denoted by the absence of the white rim that surrounds the edge of most Uno cards . Other versions use symbols and images in both old and new designs , especially ones with Wild cards that do not bear the word `` Wild '' . The Xbox 360 version of the game uses the new English style of the cards . There are also language - free versions of the newer styles that do not bear the word `` Wild '' but have the same styling . There is a new version called `` Uno Mod '' where the cards have symbols instead of letters or numbers . This version also comes in a red and white case . It is one of several `` Mod '' games by Mattel , the others being Othello ( game ) Mod , Apples to Apples Mod , Phase 10 Mod , and Skip - Bo Mod . Theme packs ( edit ) There are many different themes and versions of Uno . These theme games may come with slightly different directions and special cards .

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( May 2014 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) GEICO advertising campaigns are known for using surreal humor and satire , often featuring distinctive characters such as the company 's mascot , the GEICO gecko . The advertising strategy incorporates a saturation - level amount of print ( primarily mail circulars ) and television parody advertisements , as well as radio advertisements . A common line used by GEICO is `` 15 minutes could save you 15 % or more on car insurance . '' Investor Warren Buffett , chairman and CEO of GEICO parent Berkshire Hathaway , has stated that he would spend $2 billion on GEICO ads if he could , approximately double the spending in 2012 , which was $1.1 billion , over twice that of second place Progressive Corporation , with 6.8 % of premiums going into commercials . In 2016 , GEICO was the top spending brand in the United States , with over $1.4 billion in advertising , ousting second place Verizon and previous leader AT&T . However , this is offset by not paying agents commissions , since GEICO uses a direct to consumer model . This has resulted in GEICO being the second largest auto insurer in the United States ( behind State Farm ) . Many of the most prominent TV ad campaigns , such as the GEICO Gecko , the GEICO Cavemen , the Rhetorical Questions campaign featuring Mike McGlone , Maxwell the Pig , and the GEICO Hump Day Camel were developed by The Martin Agency .

The 15 - second long commercials , animated by Bill Plympton , featured a curious little man walking up to an object and eventually getting hurt due to his curiosity of the object . One of the commercials , for example , involved him finding a cannon and pressing a button , causing a resulting cannonball to fire out and stick to his face . The original saying in the commercial was `` You could still save money on car insurance . Even if you made a few mistakes . '' ; later modified to `` We all do dumb things . Paying too much for car insurance does n't have to be one of them . '' The Gecko ( edit ) The company 's ads sometimes focus on its reptilian mascot , The Gecko , an anthropomorphic Day Gecko created by The Martin Agency , modified in 2005 to a CGI character by Animation Director David Hulin and his team at Framestore . The gecko first appeared in 1999 , during the Screen Actors Guild strike that prevented the use of live actors . The original commercial features the Gecko , voiced by actor Kelsey Grammer , who climbs onto a microphone on a podium and utters `` This is my final plea : I am a gecko , not to be confused with GEICO , which could save you hundreds on car insurance . So , STOP CALLING ME ! '' , before licking his eye . Later `` wrong number '' ads used Dave Kelly as the voice of the gecko . In the subsequent commercials with Jake Wood ( which portray him as a representative of the company ) , the gecko speaks with a British Cockney accent , because it would be unexpected , according to Martin Agency 's Steve Bassett . In 2010s commercials , the gecko 's accent is more working - class , perhaps in an effort to further `` humanize '' him . `` As computer animation got better and as we got to know the character better , we did a few things , '' says Steve Bassett , creative director at The Martin Agency . `` We wanted to make him a little more guy - next - door . And he looks a lot more real than he 's looked before . '' Chelsea Clinton , daughter of former president Bill Clinton and then - Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton , interviewed the Geico Gecko in April 2013 . He had since became GEICO 's longest - running mascot , appearing in more than 150 commercials as of 2017 . Maxwell the pig ( edit ) Maxwell is an anthropomorphic talking pig and recurring character in GEICO advertisements . Maxwell debuted in an installment of the Rhetorical Questions campaign as the `` little piggy who cried ' wee wee wee ' all the way home '' ( referencing the famous nursery rhyme `` This Little Piggy '' ) being driven home by a friend 's mother , squealing along the way . While Maxwell was originally intended as a one - time character , the popularity of his debut commercial resulted in him being spun off into his own series of commercials which usually feature him as a tech - savvy , informative pig who is most concerned with his GEICO - related objects . Cavemen ( edit ) Main article : GEICO Cavemen A popular series of well - received advertisements uses cavemen as pitchmen . Also developed by the Martin Agency , the ads center on Neanderthal - like cavemen , no different from modern - day individuals ( outside of somewhat prehistoric facial features ) , encountering either an ad or commercial with the tagline `` GEICO : so easy a caveman could do it , '' followed by their disgust with the supposed stereotype of caveman stupidity . The ads posit a world where cavemen are still alive and active members of society in the present day , behaving and living nothing at all like the stereotypical caveman . The main characters presented in the ads are affluent , educated , and cultured , eating at fancy restaurants , going to exclusive parties , and seeing their therapists ( portrayed in the commercials by two - time Oscar - nominated actress Talia Shire ) . The humor revolves around the relative normality of the cavemen 's presence and their reactions to the stereotype represented in the ads , and their attempts at defending themselves from the stereotype . The ads were so successful that the commercial actors are appearing in a successful series of interactive websites written and produced by GEICO 's in - house creative team at Caveman 's Crib and most recently , iHeartcavemen . A spin - off TV series , titled Cavemen and starring new actors , debuted on ABC in October 2007 to overwhelmingly negative critical reaction . It was canceled after only six episodes were aired . Parodies ( edit ) Another common theme is misdirection , in which the commercial appears to be about an unrelated product ( or , in fact , may not even be a commercial ) , suddenly changing to become a plug for GEICO . The commercials use a variety of fictional characters such as Speed Racer , Chatty Cathy , Jed Clampett , and Bill Dutchess . Other commercials relate to a hair loss doctor who has saved by switching to GEICO , a nature show about a fish , workout with Tony Little , and a soap opera of a couple who are breaking up . Another set of GEICO ads involved a fictional reality show called `` Tiny House '' in which contestants were forced to live in a half - scale house . An additional commercial theme is the promotion of fictional products . In 2006 parody ads featured such products as long distance phone service , tomato soda , fast - food , a reality TV show , dolls , and even poking fun at the Old Navy commercials -- in all cases , the parody portion of the ad ends with `` but it wo n't save you any money on car insurance . '' After the GEICO slogan is heard , the commercials end with `` Why have n't you called GEICO ? '' Including Wonder Glue . The parody pitch crossed over to the Caveman campaign in 2007 , in a 10 - second spot that appears to be a talking heads news interview , but features the popular caveman . In response to some of the parody ads , Seth Green and Matthew Senreich wrote a sketch using the character C in a parody of one of the celebrity ads for their second Robot Chicken Star Wars special . MADtv also made a sketch parodying these ads using characters of Elmo ( who was performed by Frank Caeti ) and Carlos Mencia ( who was played by Johnny Sanchez ) . Actor Scott Whyte has made a series of commercial parodies , calling the company , `` Schmeiko '' , while performing a series of impressions . `` I 've got good news '' ( edit ) In another ad campaign , a character would be breaking bad news to another ( such as a baseball manager replacing a struggling pitcher with a reliever ) , but then offers helpfully , `` I 've got good news : I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO ! '' That news , of course , is of no immediate use at all to the other character ( s ) . Some of the ads were parodies and / or featured celebrities including , for example , Esteban ; one featured the popular anime character Speed Racer . The exchange became parodied for a time while the ads were popular . One of the most watched `` I 've got good news '' spots was a soap opera parody featuring television actor Sebastian Siegel . Bland salesman ( edit ) In another series of ads , a GEICO pitchman is played by actor Jerry Lambert in an extremely bland and understated way , parodying the stereotype of an insurance man , such as reading to a group of uninterested children from a book of fairy tales about insurance , watching a view of cats in the living room where a gecko is standing on the couch , relaxing on a hot tub with a couple , and a flashback about `` Honk If You Like '' . In one segment , he reads a supposed e-mail from a viewer saying it would be `` da bomb '' ( i.e. , something good ) , if the Gecko would do a dance called `` The Robot '' . Cut to the Gecko doing that dance smoothly and gracefully ( to the tune of a not - for - public - sale melody called `` Sweet World '' by a group called Omega Men , which was used in the arcade video game In the Groove 2 ) and then back to the insurance salesman attempting to do the same dance , seemingly more stiffly than an actual robot would . The newest commercial featuring the GEICO gecko depicts the Gecko receiving a business suit from the salesman , in order to present a more professional appearance , but he declines . `` Real service , real savings '' ( edit ) In this campaign , a real GEICO customer would present his / her testimonials , while a celebrity standing next to , or behind , the customer uses his / her signature styles to help get the customer 's word across . Some of these celebrities included : Peter Graves ( 1926 -- 2010 ) Peter Frampton Burt Bacharach Little Richard Mrs. Butterworth Joan Rivers ( 1933 -- 2014 ) The Pips ( 1952 -- 1989 ) Charo James Lipton Michael Winslow Verne Troyer Don LaFontaine ( 1940 -- 2008 ) The slogan exclusive to this campaign is `` GEICO : Real service , real savings '' . My Great Rides ( edit ) In 2007 , GEICO also launched a social networking site , My Great Rides , for motorcycle owners . My Great Rides is a place for cycle owners to share stories about trips they have taken on their bikes , as well as post pictures of their motorcycles , and comment on other members ' stories and pictures . My Great Rides was taken down on 27 February 2012 . GEICO racing ( edit ) The number 7 car of the NASCAR Nationwide Series is driven by Mike Wallace and was sponsored by GEICO prior to 2009 . Commercials involving the race team are of a memorably disdainful young boy , played by actor Eddie Heffernan claiming to be a relative of Mike Wallace and being a better driver . The boy says , `` When people see Mike Wallace and the GEICO number 7 doing well , they 'll think of saving a bunch of money on car insurance . But when they see me , they 'll say , ' There goes Lauren Wallace ; the greatest thing to ever climb into a race car . ' '' The commercials are sometimes presented in an interview fashion , where an unseen narrator speaks to the ambitious go - kart driver . `` What do you think of Mike Wallace ? '' the child is asked , to which he responds , `` Whatever , he 's out there selling car insurance , I 'm out there to win . '' When questioned on his relation to the NASCAR driver , Lauren shakes his head and concludes , `` I did n't say I would n't go fishing with the man , all I 'm saying is if he comes near me , I 'll put him in the wall . '' To which the narrator questions him , `` You do n't race in the Busch Series . '' Lauren replies `` Listen , go - kart track , grocery store , those remote controlled boats ; when it comes to Mike Wallace the story ends with me putting him in the wall . '' New ads in this lineup include Lauren referring to himself as being , `` 100 miles away and ready to strike , '' and `` lightning in a bottle . '' The success of those ads resulted in the launch of an interactive website written and produced by GEICO 's in - house creative team at GEICO Garage . The site includes cameo appearances by Lauren Wallace and drivers Mike Wallace , his daughter Chrissy Wallace , Speed TV 's Tommy Kendall , Paul Tracy , Christian Fittipaldi and Max Papis . Trs : the real scoop ( edit ) Introduced in 2 August 2007 , this series of ads features an E ! True Hollywood Story - type show about famed fictional characters such as Fred Flintstone , Jed Clampett , and even a Cabbage Patch Kid named Ben Winkler claiming to have their cars ( the Flintmobile , Jed 's 1923 Oldsmobile truck , and a Plymouth Reliant / Dodge Aries , respectively ) insured by GEICO , featuring interviews with made - up investigators ( however , the Ben Winkler spot does not have an interview ) . These commercials were voiced over by narrator David O'Brien . `` The money You could be saving '' ( edit ) Starting in 2008 , GEICO has aired a series of TV ads featuring two paper - banded stacks of U.S. bills with a pair of big , googly eyes on top . Kash , who never says anything , just sits and stares at people ( in a manner intended to be unsettling ) , set to a remix of a Rockwell / Michael Jackson song , `` Somebody 's Watching Me '' by Mysto & Pizzi . Rhetorical question campaign ( edit ) Toward the end of 2009 until mid 2012 , GEICO introduced another advertising campaign in which Mike McGlone walks into an empty room and queries the viewer , `` Could switching to GEICO really save you 15 % or more on car insurance ? '' After this , he pauses and then asks a rhetorical and / or obvious question which is immediately followed by a scene cut to the subject at hand .

"The company's ads sometimes focus on its reptilian mascot, The Gecko, an anthropomorphic Day Gecko created by The Martin Agency, modified in 2005 to a CGI character by Animation Director David Hulin and his team at Framestore. The gecko first appeared in 1999, during the Screen Actors Guild strike that prevented the use of live actors.[8] The original commercial features the Gecko, voiced by actor Kelsey Grammer, who climbs onto a microphone on a podium and utters \"This is my final plea: I am a gecko, not to be confused with GEICO, which could save you hundreds on car insurance. So, STOP CALLING ME!\", before licking his eye. Later \"wrong number\" ads used Dave Kelly as the voice of the gecko. In the subsequent commercials with Jake Wood[9] (which portray him as a representative of the company), the gecko speaks with a British Cockney accent, because it would be unexpected, according to Martin Agency's Steve Bassett. In 2010s commercials, the gecko's accent is more working-class, perhaps in an effort to further \"humanize\" him.[10] \"As computer animation got better and as we got to know the character better, we did a few things,\" says Steve Bassett, creative director at The Martin Agency. \"We wanted to make him a little more guy-next-door. And he looks a lot more real than he's looked before.\"[8] Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former president Bill Clinton and then-Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, interviewed the Geico Gecko in April 2013.[11] He had since became GEICO's longest-running mascot, appearing in more than 150 commercials as of 2017."

-6417700826803951491 | Tourism in Iceland | Tourism in Iceland - wikipedia Tourism in Iceland Jump to : navigation , search Tourism in Iceland has grown considerably in economic significance in the past 15 years . As of 2016 , the tourism industry is estimated to contribute about 10 percent to the Icelandic GDP ; the number of foreign visitors is set to exceed 2,000,000 by the end of 2017 ; tourism is responsible for a share of nearly 30 percent of the country 's export revenue . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Tourist Demographics 3 Popular Tourist Destinations 4 Arrivals by country 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Evolution of the annual number of foreign visitors to Iceland , as compared to the growth of the resident population . Services provided to foreign tourists were for a long time an insignificant part of the Icelandic economy , rarely contributing more than 2 percent to GDP , even long after the advent of international air travel . Until the early 1980s , the number of foreign visitors to Iceland increased slowly and erratically , never exceeding 80,000 in a single year , and for many years after that only barely kept pace with the increase in the number of Icelanders traveling to and from the country . This situation lasted until the turn of the century , when the annual number of visitors exceeded the total resident population for the first time , at around 300,000 . A few years later the Icelandic tourism industry started to experience a boom which to this day shows no signs of abating , as witnessed by the fact that the number of foreign visitors grew on average by 6 percent per year between 2003 and 2010 , and by some 20 percent per year on average between 2010 and 2014 . In 2015 , this rapid increase has continued , with the number of foreign visitors already exceeding 1 million in the period January to October . According to the Icelandic Tourist Board , the total number of overnight stays by foreign visitors to Iceland grew from 595,000 in 2000 to 2.1 million in 2010 , before rising to 4.4 million in 2014 . The number of people working in tourism - related industries in Iceland was 21,600 in 2014 , representing nearly 12 percent of the total workforce , and tourism 's direct contribution to GDP is now close to 5 percent . Tourist demographics ( edit ) Iceland is well known for its untouched nature and unique atmosphere . Iceland receives the highest number of tourists during summer ( June -- August ) . In 2014 , around 42 % of visitors arrived in Iceland during its summer months , proportionally a slight decrease compared to the previous two years , the percentage of winter visitors having increased by over 4 % in the same period . As of year 2014 , Iceland 's largest tourism markets comprises tourists from Central / South Europe , followed by those from other regions : North America , the UK , then the Nordic countries . In terms of visitors from individual countries , the top five for 2014 were the UK , USA , Germany , France and Norway . Canada had the largest percentage increase in visitor numbers in the 2013 - 2014 period , with an increase of over 60 % year on year . Popular Tourist destinations ( edit ) According to a survey carried out by the Icelandic Tourist Board in 2014 , the following 10 destinations are the ones most frequently visited in Iceland , out of 39 specifically mentioned in the survey ( the percentages indicate the proportion of all foreign tourists visiting the destination in question and relate to the summer season , some of the destinations being less easily accessible in winter ) .

The following list includes democratic and non-democratic states : Full presidential systems ( edit ) In full presidential systems , the president is both head of state and head of government . There is generally no prime minister , although if one exists , in most cases , he or she serves purely at the discretion of the president ( with the exceptions being Belarus and Kazakhstan , where the prime minister is effectively the head of government ) .

The president 's degree of executive power may range from being reasonably significant to little ( e.g. India ) , to only having certain limited reserve powers ( e.g. Ireland ) or none at all . Where the president holds little executive power , his or her function is primarily that of a symbolic figurehead . Albania Austria Bangladesh Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Croatia Czech Republic Dominica Estonia Ethiopia Fiji Finland Germany Greece Hungary Iceland India Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Kosovo Kyrgyzstan Latvia Lebanon Macedonia Malta Mauritius Moldova Montenegro Nepal Pakistan Serbia Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Somalia Trinidad and Tobago Turkey Vanuatu Mixed republican systems ( edit ) A combined head of state and government is elected by the legislature , however they are not subject to parliamentary confidence during their term ( although their cabinet may be ) ; the exceptions are South Africa , where the president may be forced to resign by the Parliament 's will , and Kiribati , where the president is popularly elected and a successful parliamentary motion of no confidence automatically triggers a new presidential election . Botswana Marshall Islands Federated States of Micronesia Kiribati Myanmar Nauru San Marino South Africa Suriname Switzerland Directorial systems ( edit ) In the directorial system a council jointly exercises both state functions and governmental powers ( the council is the collective head of state and government ) . The council is elected by the parliament , but it is not subject to political confidence during its term which has a fixed duration . San Marino Switzerland Constitutional monarchies ( edit ) These are systems in which the head of state is a constitutional monarch ; the existence of their office and their ability to exercise their authority is established and restrained or held back by constitutional law . Constitutional monarchies with ceremonial monarchs ( edit ) Systems in which a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government . In some cases the prime minister is also leader of the legislature , in other cases the executive branch is clearly separated from legislature although the entire cabinet or individual ministers must step down in the case of a vote of no confidence . The head of state is a constitutional monarch who normally only exercises his or her powers with the consent of the government , the people or their representatives .

It has elements of intergovernmentalism , with the European Council acting as its collective `` president '' , and also elements of supranationalism , with the European Commission acting as its executive and bureaucracy .

Scandinavian Political Studies . Wiley . 24 ( 2 ) : 95 -- 109 . doi : 10.1111 / 1467 - 9477.00048 . as follows : `` There are hardly any grounds for the epithet ' semi-presidential ' . '' Arter 's own conclusions are only slightly more nuanced : `` The adoption of a new constitution on 1 March 2000 meant that Finland was no longer a case of semi-presidential government other than in the minimalist sense of a situation where a popularly elected fixed - term president exists alongside a prime minister and cabinet who are responsible to parliament ( Elgie 2004 : 317 ) '' . According to the Finnish Constitution , the President has no possibility to rule the government without the ministerial approval , and substantially has not the power to disband the parliament under its own desire .

Ileum Small intestine The cecal fossa . The ileum and cecum are drawn backward and upward . Details Precursor midgut Artery ileal arteries Vein ileal veins Nerve celiac ganglia , vagus Identifiers Latin Ileum Dorlands / Elsevier Ileum TA A05. 6.04. 001 FMA 7208 Anatomical terminology ( edit on Wikidata ) Ileocecal junction ( Terminal ileum appear in brown color ) The ileum / ˈɪliəm / is the final section of the small intestine in most higher vertebrates , including mammals , reptiles , and birds . In fish , the divisions of the small intestine are not as clear and the terms posterior intestine or distal intestine may be used instead of ileum . The ileum follows the duodenum and jejunum and is separated from the cecum by the ileocecal valve ( ICV ) . In humans , the ileum is about 2 -- 4 m long , and the pH is usually between 7 and 8 ( neutral or slightly alkaline ) . Ileum is derived from the Greek word eilein , meaning `` to twist up tightly . '' Contents ( hide ) 1 Structure 1.1 Histology 1.2 Development 2 Function 3 Clinical significance 4 Other animals 5 References 6 External links Structure ( edit ) The ileum is the third and final part of the small intestine . It follows the jejunum and ends at the ileocecal junction , where the terminal ileum communicates with the cecum of the large intestine through the ileocecal valve . The ileum , along with the jejunum , is suspended inside the mesentery , a peritoneal formation that carries the blood vessels supplying them ( the superior mesenteric artery and vein ) , lymphatic vessels and nerve fibers . There is no line of demarcation between the jejunum and the ileum . There are , however , subtle differences between the two : The ileum has more fat inside the mesentery than the jejunum . The diameter of its lumen is smaller and has thinner walls than the jejunum . Its circular folds are smaller and absent in the terminal part of the ileum . While the length of the intestinal tract contains lymphoid tissue , only the ileum has abundant Peyer 's patches , unencapsulated lymphoid nodules that contain large numbers of lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system . Histology ( edit ) Main article : Gastrointestinal wall The four layers that make up the wall of the ileum are consistent with those of the gastrointestinal tract . From the inner to the outer surface , these are : A mucous membrane , itself formed by three different layers : A single layer of tall cells that line the lumen of the organ . The epithelium that forms the innermost part of the mucosa has five distinct types of cells that serve different purposes , these are : enterocytes with microvilli , which digest and absorb nutrients ; goblet cells , which secrete mucin , a substance that lubricates the wall of the organ ; Paneth cells , most common in the terminal part of the ileum , are only found at the bottom of the intestinal glands and release antimicrobial substances such as alpha defensins and lysozyme ; microfold cells , which take up and transport antigens from the lumen to lymphatic cells of the lamina propria ; and enteroendocrine cells , which secrete hormones . An underlying lamina propria composed of loose connective tissue and containing germinal centers and large aggregates of lymphoid tissue called Peyer 's patches , which are a distinctive feature of the ileum . A thin layer of smooth muscle called muscularis mucosae . A submucosa formed by dense irregular connective tissue that carries the larger blood vessels and a nervous component called submucosal plexus , which is part of the enteric nervous system . An external muscular layer formed by two layers of smooth muscle arranged in circular bundles in the inner layer and in longitudinal bundles in the outer layer . Between the two layers is the myenteric plexus , formed by nervous tissue and also a part of the enteric nervous system . A serosa composed of mesothelium , a single layer of flat cells with varying quantities of underlying connective and adipose tissue . This layer represents the visceral peritoneum and is continuous with the mesentery . General structure of the gut wall . Brunner 's glands are not found in the ileum , but are a distinctive feature of the duodenum . Goblet cells in the wall of an ileum vili . At its sides , enterocytes are visible over a core of lamina propria . Cross section of ileum with a Peyer 's patch circled . Development ( edit ) The small intestine develops from the midgut of the primitive gut tube . By the fifth week of embryological life , the ileum begins to grow longer at a very fast rate , forming a U-shaped fold called the primary intestinal loop . The proximal half of this loop will form the ileum . The loop grows so fast in length that it outgrows the abdomen and protrudes through the umbilicus . By week 10 , the loop retracts back into the abdomen . Between weeks six and ten the small intestine rotates anticlockwise , as viewed from the front of the embryo . It rotates a further 180 degrees after it has moved back into the abdomen . This process creates the twisted shape of the large intestine . In the fetus the ileum is connected to the navel by the vitelline duct . In roughly 2 − 4 % of humans , this duct fails to close during the first seven weeks after birth , leaving a remnant called Meckel 's diverticulum . Function ( edit ) The function of the ileum is mainly to absorb vitamin B and bile salts and whatever products of digestion were not absorbed by the jejunum . The wall itself is made up of folds , each of which has many tiny finger - like projections known as villi on its surface . In turn , the epithelial cells that line these villi possess even larger numbers of microvilli . Therefore , the ileum has an extremely large surface area both for the adsorption ( attachment ) of enzyme molecules and for the absorption of products of digestion . The DNES ( diffuse neuroendocrine system ) cells of the ileum secrete various hormones ( gastrin , secretin , cholecystokinin ) into the blood . Cells in the lining of the ileum secrete the protease and carbohydrase enzymes responsible for the final stages of protein and carbohydrate digestion into the lumen of the intestine . These enzymes are present in the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells . The villi contain large numbers of capillaries that take the amino acids and glucose produced by digestion to the hepatic portal vein and the liver . Lacteals are small lymph vessels , and are present in villi . They absorb fatty acid and glycerol , the products of fat digestion . Layers of circular and longitudinal smooth muscle enable the chyme ( partly digested food and water ) to be pushed along the ileum by waves of muscle contractions called peristalsis . The remaining chyme is passed to the colon . Clinical significance ( edit ) It is of importance in medicine as it can be affected in a number of diseases , including : Crohn 's disease Tuberculosis Lymphoma Neuroendocrine tumours ( carcinoid ) Other animals ( edit ) In veterinary anatomy , the ileum is distinguished from the jejunum by being that portion of the jejunoileum that is connected to the caecum by the ileocecal fold . The ileum is the short terminal part of the small intestine and forms the connection to the large intestine . It is suspended by the caudal part of the mesentery ( mesoileum ) and is attached , in addition , to the cecum by the ileocecal fold . The ileum terminates at the cecocolic junction of the large intestine forming the ileal orifice . In the dog the ileal orifice is located at the level of the first or second lumbar vertebra , in the ox in the level of the fourth lumbar vertebrae , in the sheep and goat at the level of the caudal point of the costal arch . By active muscular contraction of the ileum , and closure of the ileal opening as a result of engorgement , the ileum prevents the backflow of ingesta and the equalization of pressure between jejunum and the base of the cecum . Disturbance of this sensitive balance is not uncommon and is one of the causes of colic in horses . During any intestinal surgery , for instance , during appendectomy , distal 2 feet of ileum should be checked for the presence of Meckel 's diverticulum .

While exploring the ruins , Klaus finds a broken spyglass with an insignia of an eye embedded on the front . Shortly afterwards , they are sent to live with their distant relative Count Olaf , a cruel and vain amateur actor , who forces them into servitude . One night , the siblings prepare puttanesca for Olaf 's theatre troupe only for him to demand roast beef upon arriving home . The children state that they were never asked to prepare roast beef , angering Olaf and prompting him to slap Klaus across the face when he protests about the sleeping arrangements . Meanwhile , a mother and father are held against their will by a mysterious captor . `` The Bad Beginning : Part Two '' Barry Sonnenfeld Daniel Handler January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) The Baudelaires attempt to convince Mr. Poe of Olaf 's actions , only to be sent away when Poe dismisses their claims . When Olaf gives Violet the starring role in his latest theatrical production , which ends with the two main characters being married , the siblings realize that Olaf intends to acquire their fortune by marrying Violet for real . Klaus confronts Olaf , who threatens to kill Sunny if Violet does n't follow through with his plans . At the very last minute , however , Violet signs the marriage certificate with her left hand , invalidating the proceedings due to the fact that she is right - handed . Mr. Poe 's mysterious secretary Jacquelyn reveals they were intended to be put in the care of their distant relative Montgomery Montgomery . Meanwhile , Jacquelyn 's ally Gustav is mysteriously drowned , after being hit by a poisoned dart . `` The Reptile Room : Part One '' Mark Palansky Daniel Handler January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) The Baudelaires are sent to live with their herpetologist uncle Montgomery Montgomery , who has recently come across a reptile he calls the Incredibly Deadly Viper . While attempting to learn more about Montgomery , Klaus discovers that the hedge maze in Montgomery 's garden is exactly the same shape as the tattoo on Olaf 's ankle . Olaf poses as Montgomery 's new assistant Stephano and attempts to kidnap the Baudelaires , but Monty assures the Baudelaires that he recognizes Stephano as a threat . The four arrive at a movie theatre , where Monty deciphers a code sent for him through the subtitles of the film , using a spyglass identical to Klaus ' . The message instructs him to bring the children to Peru . He fires Stephano shortly afterwards , believing him to be a spy sent to steal his research . `` The Reptile Room : Part Two '' Mark Palansky Emily Fox January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) Immediately after dismissing `` Stephano , '' Montgomery notices that the door to his Reptile Room is ajar and investigates , only to be attacked by an unseen figure . The next day , the Baudelaires discover Olaf standing next to Montgomery 's corpse . Olaf threatens to kill Sunny unless the siblings accompany him to Peru , but is prevented from carrying out his plan when Mr. Poe accidentally crashes into their car when they are trying to leave . Olaf 's theatre troupe then arrives disguised as police and nurses , and claim Monty was killed by the Incredibly Deadly Viper , despite Monty 's claim of it being completely harmless . While searching for proof of the snake 's innocence , Klaus discovers a statue in Monty 's hedge maze , and a photograph of Monty , both of them carrying spyglasses identical to Klaus ' . Violet proves Olaf to be the murderer ; however , he escapes via the hedge maze with Klaus ' spyglass . While pursuing him , the Baudelaires meet Jacquelyn , who is posing as a statue . She tells them to seek answers on the spyglasses from their Aunt Josephine while she hunts down Olaf via underground passageways . 5 5 `` The Wide Window : Part One '' Barry Sonnenfeld Daniel Handler January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) Mr. Poe takes the Baudelaires to live with their Aunt Josephine , an irrationally frightened woman who lives in a dilapidated house overlooking Lake Lachrymose . She refuses to answer questions about their parents , so the siblings pursue answers themselves around her house , and discover their parents were members of a secret organization , with spyglasses being used as useful devices . They are also shocked to find out that Josephine was once fierce and formidable , and developed her phobias after the death of her husband . Olaf , who has followed the Baudelaires , disguises himself as a sailor named Captain Sham before pretending to fall in love with Josephine . Despite the siblings ' warnings , Josephine accepts his invitation to take her out for a fried egg sandwich . Later that night , the siblings discover that Josephine has jumped out the library 's bay window and left a note informing them that `` Captain Sham '' is their new guardian . 6 6 `` The Wide Window : Part Two '' Barry Sonnenfeld Daniel Handler January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) As Mr. Poe prepares to hand the Baudelaires over to `` Captain Sham , '' the siblings discover the note has several grammatical errors , something Josephine would never do since she was obsessed with proper grammar . Mr. Poe takes the children to a restaurant and prepares to complete the transfer , but allows the siblings to leave after Larry , a waiter secretly a member of their parents ' organization , triggers their allergy to peppermint . After returning to the house , the siblings decipher Josephine 's suicide note and discover she is still alive moments before a hurricane sends the house teetering over the cliff . Escaping with a photograph of their parents standing in front of a lumber mill , the siblings find Josephine at a nearby cave , only to be confronted by Olaf , who abandons Josephine to be eaten alive by the leeches that inhabit Lake Lachrymose . Upon returning to shore , Olaf escapes after being unmasked in front of Mr. Poe while the Baudelaires sneak away and set out to find the lumber mill in the photograph . 7 7 `` The Miserable Mill : Part One '' Bo Welch Joe Tracz January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) Upon arriving at the Lucky Smells Lumber Mill , the Baudelaires are forced to work by the owner Sir , who blames their parents for starting a fire that destroyed the entire town . While investigating the workers ' unnaturally happy behavior , Klaus ' glasses are broken by the Hook - Handed Man posing as Foreman Flacutono , and he visits local optometrist Georgina Orwell , who puts him into a hypnotic trance . Later that day , the siblings learn that two visitors are waiting to see them . Believing that their parents are still alive , the three are shocked to instead find Orwell and her receptionist `` Shirley St. Ives , '' who is a poorly - disguised Olaf . Meanwhile , the mother and father who were previously held captive are revealed to be the parents of the Quagmire triplets , with whom they are reunited . 8 8 `` The Miserable Mill : Part Two '' Bo Welch Tatiana Suarez - Pico January 13 , 2017 ( 2017 - 01 - 13 ) The Baudelaires discover the entire mill is under a hypnotic trance , ensuring they do not leave their jobs . Orwell and Olaf use a still - hypnotized Klaus to murder Sir 's aide Charles , but Violet figures out how to break everyone 's trance in the nick of time . The workers then storm the mill , causing Orwell to fall into the furnace and die . Sir , Olaf , and the Hook - Handed Man all escape in the chaos . Charles reveals the truth about the Baudelaires ' role in the town , where they actually helped to fight the fire . The three siblings are reunited with Mr. Poe , and Jacquelyn sends Klaus the broken spyglass that Olaf stole from him . Poe then sends the three siblings to a dreary boarding school , which two of the three Quagmire siblings are also sent to , due to their house being burnt down by an unknown woman . The Quagmires ' parents are revealed to be members of the organization . In the final scene , Lemony Snicket , Count Olaf , the Baudelaires and Mr. Poe sing the song `` That 's Not How the Story Goes . '' Season 2 ( 2018 ) ( edit ) The second season adapts books five through nine of the novel series : The Austere Academy , The Ersatz Elevator , The Vile Village , The Hostile Hospital , and The Carnivorous Carnival . No . overall No. in season Title Directed by Written by Original release date 9 `` The Austere Academy : Part 1 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Daniel Handler March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The Baudelaires are introduced to life at Prufrock Preparatory School , an unpleasant institution run by an unpleasant vice-principal named Nero and terrorized by an equally unpleasant student named Carmelita Spats . The school 's only redeeming qualities are its friendly librarian , Olivia Caliban , and the surviving Quagmire triplets , Duncan and Isadora . During a lunch break , Klaus and Isadora discover that they are holding two halves of the same spyglass . The newfound friends quickly realize that they must track down a book on secret organizations to find the answers they seek -- a book Jacquelyn sent Larry to give them , but which he carelessly misplaced . Meanwhile , Count Olaf and his troupe lurk around the grounds of the school , unable to enter the front doors due to an advanced computer system programmed by Nero to detect Olaf 's presence . However , with Carmelita 's help , Olaf finally gains entry and locks Larry in the cafeteria 's walk - in refrigerator . He then dons his latest disguise : the school 's new turban - wearing gym teacher . 10 `` The Austere Academy : Part 2 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Joe Tracz March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Olaf is able to convince Nero to put the Baudelaires under a grueling exercise program , making the siblings run endless laps at night to prevent them from scheming against him , while also causing them to perform poorly in class from lack of sleep . Due to their slumping grades , Nero threatens to expel the Baudelaires if they fail a comprehensive exam to be given in front of the entire school , but because they must still exercise under Olaf 's program , they know they will likely fail . The Quagmires offer to help , and that night take their place during exercises ; however , their identity is discovered , and while hiding in the library , they find the copy of the book on secret organizations and read up on the purpose of the spyglass before they are caught by the Hook - Handed Man . The next day , with Mr. Poe in attendance , the Baudelaires readily pass the exam , and through it reveal Olaf 's identity . Olaf and his gang then escape with the Quagmires , who try to shout the initials `` V.F.D. '' from the backseat of Olaf 's car . Meanwhile , Larry is rescued from the refrigerator with the help of Lemony 's brother , Jacques , while Olivia walks off with the book on secret organizations that the Quagmires left behind . 11 `` The Ersatz Elevator : Part 1 '' Bo Welch Daniel Handler March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) While a citywide manhunt for Count Olaf is underway , Mr. Poe takes the Baudelaires to the penthouse of Jerome Squalor and his trendy financial advisor wife Esmé . While being introduced to the Squalors , they find Olaf has already arrived , posing as a foreign auctioneer named Gunther . The Baudelaires theorize that Olaf is trying to kill Jerome so that he can marry Esmé and become their legal guardian again . They search the penthouse for the Quagmires to no avail , but Klaus becomes suspicious of an extra elevator that only seems to serve the penthouse . Meanwhile , Olivia tries to convince Mr. Poe about Olaf 's scheme , which leads Jacquelyn to contact Jacques , who enlists her into their society . Esmé suggests they go out for lunch at a fashionable salmon - themed restaurant Cafe Salmonella , where Larry works to prolong their visit , giving Jacques and Olivia time to search the Squalor 's building for the Quagmires . When the Baudelaires manage to sneak away and examine the second elevator , they learn that it is merely an empty shaft . With a makeshift parachute , they descend it to find the Quagmires locked in a cage at its bottom . 12 `` The Ersatz Elevator : Part 2 '' Bo Welch Daniel Handler March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The Baudelaires do not have the tools to free the Quagmires , so they ascend the shaft by turning the parachute into a hot - air balloon . They try to warn Esmé of Olaf 's scheme , but learn too late that she is in cahoots with him and that they are planning to smuggle the Quagmires out of the city . Esmé pushes them down the elevator shaft , where they are caught in a net midway down . Sunny helps them to escape safely , and afterwards they find a secret passage that leads to the ashen ruins of their home . At the auction in Veblen Hall , the Baudelaires start a bidding war on a box labeled `` V.F.D. '' , which they believe contains the Quagmires . Though they win the item , they find the box contains only doilies . In the aftermath , Olaf and his troupe escape with the Quagmires , who are hidden inside a red herring statue . The Baudelaires ask Jerome to help track down Olaf , but he is far too timid to do so , and gives up his guardianship of them . Mr. Poe tells the children that a village with the initials `` V.F.D. '' is willing to raise them . 13 5 `` The Vile Village : Part 1 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Sigrid Gilmer March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Mr. Poe drops the Baudelaires off at the Village of Fowl Devotees , where the whole community will care for them collectively . The Baudelaires take up residence with Hector , a kindly handyman prone to fainting spells who is secretly building a self - sustaining hot - air mobile home , and soon begin finding clues written by the Quagmires themselves . Olaf , Esmé , and the troupe also arrive at the village , with Esmé disguising herself as the town 's new chief of police . Jacques and Olivia also arrive and detain Olaf at the local jailhouse ; the next day , the villagers learn of Olaf 's capture and hold a town hall meeting , where Olaf appears in the disguise of Detective Dupin , tricking everyone into believing Jacques is Olaf . Jacques is sentenced to death , but Olivia convinces Esmé to free her and Jacques in exchange for the location of the Sugar Bowl , an object with ties to Esmé 's past . Jacques stays behind to confront Olaf ; however , the villain is unfazed by Jacques ' offer of a truce , and he and Esmé incapacitate and kill him . The next morning , as the Baudelaires try to break into the jail to rescue Jacques , they are informed that `` Olaf '' has been murdered . 14 6 `` The Vile Village : Part 2 '' Barry Sonnenfeld Sigrid Gilmer March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The disguised Olaf and Esmé quickly convince Mr. Poe and the town that the Baudelaires murdered Jacques / `` Olaf , '' and they are promptly condemned to be burned at the stake . While in jail , the children instruct Hector to prepare his hot - air mobile home to help them escape . While Violet creates a battering ram to weaken the jail wall , Klaus deduces from their clues that the Quagmires are hidden inside a crow fountain in the village square . Larry and Jacquelyn arrive on the scene to distract the villagers long enough for the children to escape via a fire truck and follow Hector . The Baudelaires cover for the Quagmires as they use the truck 's ladder to climb aboard the mobile home . As they do so , Olaf , Esmé , and the villagers arrive , and Esmé begins damaging Hector 's home with a harpoon gun . Realizing their danger , the Baudelaires tell Hector to escape with the Quagmires . In thanks , the Quagmires try to throw their friends their notes about the secrets of V.F.D. , but Esmé shoots them with a harpoon , scattering the pages and harming a crow . While the villagers accost the disguised villains over the injured bird , the Baudelaires collect as many of the ruined pages as they can and make their escape . 15 7 `` The Hostile Hospital : Part 1 '' Alan Arkush Joshua Conkel March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) The Baudelaires hitch a ride with volunteer singing candy stripers heading to Heimlich Hospital . They learn that there is a Library of Records that collects and stores esoterica . After sneaking past the hospital 's administrator Babs , they meet Hal , the man who runs the library . He welcomes their help , but forbids them to read material in storage . While Hal shows them the ropes , a film reel labeled `` Snicket '' arrives and catches the children 's attention . Meanwhile , believing the Sugar Bowl to be in the hospital , Olaf and his troupe infiltrate the building . Desperate for answers , the children are forced to steal Hal 's keys to access the library , where they find the film . It contains a debriefing of Jacques by a V.F.D. volunteer , with Jacques informing the interviewer that someone has survived a fire , which may or may not be the one that killed the Baudelaire 's parents . However , before they can watch any further , they are interrupted by Esmé ; as they try to escape , the library is ruined . Violet is captured by Olaf while Klaus and Sunny hide in a chute , in possession of the film . 16 8 `` The Hostile Hospital : Part 2 '' Alan Arkush Joshua Conkel March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Olaf and Esmé hide Violet under a false name ; to find her , Klaus disguises himself as `` Dr. Faustus , '' with Sunny hidden in a sling underneath his coat . They eventually deduce which room Violet is in , but this is a trap laid by Olaf , who forces Klaus to operate on Violet inside an operating theater . Esmé promises to call off the scheme if Klaus can give her what he stole from the Library of Records , and he does so -- only , it 's not the Sugar Bowl that she has been searching for . Olaf , however , is interested in the Snicket film , and dashes off to watch it to learn its secret . Furious at its revelations , he burns the film , which also starts a fire in the hospital . The Baudelaires successfully evacuate the hospital and realize that their only chance to escape safely is in the trunk of Olaf 's car . Hal is left depressed over the loss of the Library of Records . Elsewhere , an unknown person recovers the Sugar Bowl from the burning hospital . 17 9 `` Carnivorous Carnival : Part 1 '' Loni Peristere Joe Tracz March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) A flashback to a masked ball at the V.F.D. headquarters shows Lemony trying to warn Beatrice about Olaf . In the present , Olaf and his troupe arrive at the Caligari Carnival to speak with its fortune - teller , Madame Lulu , about the fire 's survivor . Lulu , who is really Olivia in disguise , tells them to wait for the answer in the morning . The Baudelaires overhear this , and hoping to speak to Lulu as well , assume the identities of circus freaks , with Violet and Klaus as a two - headed person and Sunny as a wolf child . After calling V.F.D. , Olivia is able to tell Olaf the next day that one of the Baudelaire parents did indeed survive the fire . Olaf then presents a freak show that proves disastrous , so he sets off to find a pack of roaming lions to help attract a larger crowd . This gives an opportunity for the children to sneak into Lulu 's tent , where they discover films , books , and disguises belonging to the Volunteer Fire Department -- the secret organization their parents and guardians belonged to . Olivia then appears and reveals her true identity to them . 18 10 `` Carnivorous Carnival : Part 2 '' Loni Peristere Joe Tracz March 30 , 2018 ( 2018 - 03 - 30 ) Olivia explains to the Baudelaires that `` Madame Lulu '' is an alias used by V.F.D. agents to gather information . While Olivia admits she had to lie to Olaf about one of the children 's parents surviving the fire , Jacques had asserted that there was a survivor , and they should head to the V.F.D. headquarters in the Mortmain Mountains to find them . Meanwhile , Olaf plans to throw one of the freaks into a pit filled with the hungry lions he has corralled , while Esmé connives to have Lulu killed . The next day , Olaf selects Violet and Klaus for the pit . When Olivia is told to push the children to the lions , she instead pushes them to safety , and is sent tumbling into the pit by Olaf for her troubles . As the children try to collect the V.F.D. materials from Lulu 's tent , Olaf arrives and forces them to burn the tent down . Then , after placing Violet and Klaus in a towed caravan and taking Sunny in his car , Olaf has the other freaks cut the towing rope on a steep mountain path . At the same time , the last operative to pose as Madame Lulu arrives at the burning carnival as Lemony Snicket claims that she is someone he knows . Season 3 ( edit ) The third season will adapt the final four books of the novel series in seven episodes : The Slippery Slope , The Grim Grotto and The Penultimate Peril will be adapted into two episodes each , and The End will conclude the series with a longer single episode . Barry Sonnenfeld will direct the episodes for The Penultimate Peril . Liza Johnson and Jonathan Teplitzky will also direct episodes in the season . Production ( edit ) Development ( edit ) The thirteen A Series of Unfortunate Events novels , written by Daniel Handler under the pen name Lemony Snicket from 1999 to 2006 , achieved success in young adult fiction around the same time as the Harry Potter novels . As such , the Snicket books had been optioned to be filmed before they were published . This led to the development of a 2004 feature film , Lemony Snicket 's A Series of Unfortunate Events , which covered the narratives of the first three novels in the series . Barry Sonnenfeld , who has expressed his love for the series , was originally slated to direct the feature film , and had hired Handler to write the screenplay . About 10 months into production , shortly after the casting of Jim Carrey as Olaf , there was a `` big crisis '' , according to Handler , which caused producer Scott Rudin to walk away and Sonnenfeld left the production under unclear terms . With the film 's completion in flux , its producing studios Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks fired Handler . While the film was eventually completed and released , sequels which would adapt the other novels in the series became unlikely due to `` corporate shakeups '' within DreamWorks , according to Handler , and the child actors that portrayed the Baudelaire children grew too old to star in a sequel . In November 2014 , Netflix , in association with Paramount Television , announced its plans to adapt the novels into an original television series , with the author of the series , Daniel Handler , serving as executive producer . In September 2015 , it was announced that Barry Sonnenfeld and Mark Hudis had agreed to helm the series . Hudis would serve as showrunner , Sonnenfeld as director , and both as executive producers , with Handler writing some of the scripts along with working with the series ' writing team . However , in January 2016 , Netflix announced that Hudis had left the project , with a replacement showrunner not named at the time . The first season consists of eight episodes , with two episodes adapting each of the first four books of the series . Handler considered this more in line with how he had written the books in the manner of a serialized melodrama , citing The Perils of Pauline as one of his influences in writing the book series . In January 2017 , Handler revealed that he was writing the series ' second season , to consist of ten episodes adapting the fifth through ninth books of the series . A third season would adapt the remaining novels of the series , which Handler hoped `` to get the go - ahead to do '' since `` given how quickly young actors age and change , we 're trying to film everything as quickly as possible . '' In March 2017 , Netflix revealed the series had been renewed for a second season by releasing a video on their social media pointing to a viral marketing website , where a letter written by Snicket revealed the decision . A month later , the series was `` quietly '' renewed for a third season , which Harris confirmed would be the final one for the series . Casting ( edit ) Neil Patrick Harris portrays Count Olaf in the series and serves as a producer . On December 3 , 2015 , an open casting call was announced for the roles of Violet and Klaus Baudelaire . In January 2016 , Netflix announced that Neil Patrick Harris had been cast as Count Olaf and Malina Weissman and Louis Hynes were cast as Violet and Klaus . Handler had first considered Harris for the role of Olaf after seeing him perform the opening number `` It 's Not Just for Gays Anymore '' , at the 65th Tony Awards in 2011 , noting `` I just immediately saw someone who could pull off a million things at once '' as was necessary for the character of Olaf , who utilizes various disguises and accents in his quest to steal the Baudelaire fortune . In March 2016 , K. Todd Freeman was cast as Mr. Poe , followed shortly after by the casting of Patrick Warburton as Lemony Snicket , and Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty . In September 2016 , it was revealed that Dylan Kingwell and Avi Lake were cast as the Quagmire siblings , Duncan and Isadora , respectively . In November 2016 , Handler revealed Catherine O'Hara , Don Johnson , and Alfre Woodard had been cast as Dr. Georgina Orwell , Sir , and Aunt Josephine , respectively ; O'Hara had previously portrayed Justice Strauss in the 2004 film adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events . It was also revealed that Presley Smith would play Sunny Baudelaire , whose quasi-nonsensical lines are voiced by Tara Strong , and Rhys Darby would play Charles , Sir 's partner . Filming ( edit ) Production began in May 2016 in Vancouver , British Columbia , and in August 2016 several cast members expressed through social media that filming had finished . Filming for the second season began in April 2017 . The third season began filming on January 5 , 2018 . One aspect of the series of books that the production team wanted to be captured in the series was the notion of a lack of specific time period or geography for the settings ; Handler stated that he wrote enough for establishing set pieces , but purposely left more specific details vague `` in order for young readers to fill in the blanks themselves . '' Sonnenfeld wanted to capture that same sense of ambiguous time and place , and he and his team worked to try to define a set of subjective rules of what elements could be included . Sonnenfeld brought on Bo Welch , production designer for Edward Scissorhands , which Handler considered to capture the same sense of a `` familiar but completely imaginary '' suburban setting he had in mind for his books . While the production team used computer - generated imagery where needed , they attempted to avoid this use where possible , such as by using large painted backdrops , by key scenic artist John E. Wilcox , rather than employing green screen filming . Music ( edit ) In April 2016 , Nick Urata was initially reported to be composing music for the series . Once the first season was released , it was revealed that Urata collaborated with Daniel Handler to compose the main title theme , `` Look Away '' , as well as various original songs that appear throughout the series , with Handler contributing the lyrics . The first season 's original score was composed by James Newton Howard , with his frequent collaborators Sven Faulconer and Chris Bacon filling in to score certain episodes . In the second season , Jim Dooley joined the production as composer and subsequently wrote the music for all ten episodes . `` Look Away '' , the theme song for the opening titles of the series , is performed by Neil Patrick Harris . In keeping with the tone of the book series , the song warns the viewer against continuing to watch the unpleasant story any further . The lyrics of one verse of the song change for each pair of episodes , comprising a brief synopsis of those episodes ' premise . Visual effects ( edit ) Zoic Studios created visual effects for the series , including the effects for many of Sunny Baudelaire 's actions . Tippett Studio also did work on the series , including the effects for the destruction of Josephine 's house , landscape shots of Lake Lachrymose and some of the more movement heavy Sunny Baudelaire shots . Release ( edit ) All eight episodes of the first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events were released worldwide on Netflix on January 13 , 2017 , in Ultra HD 4K . The second season was released on March 30 , 2018 . Marketing ( edit ) On July 5 , 2015 a video titled `` An Unfortunate Teaser '' was uploaded to YouTube by a user named `` Eleanora Poe '' . Netflix quickly released a statement saying `` This was not released from Netflix . '' Media outlets were almost unanimous in agreement that the trailer was fan - made . However , Caitlin Petrakovitz of CNET argued that the trailer may be real and that Netflix 's carefully worded denial was a marketing campaign , noting the user name `` Eleanora Poe '' being the same as a character from the series , and that a vinyl record seen in the trailer was of The Gothic Archies , a band who provided the theme music for the audio books of A Series of Unfortunate Events . The trailer was later revealed to be a spec promo , similar to a spec script , by an independent commercial director , whom Netflix contracted to make a title sequence for the series after the video 's popularity , though they did not go ahead with the concept . In October 2016 , Netflix released the first teaser trailer for A Series of Unfortunate Events , where Warburton narrates the events of the series as Lemony Snicket . A trailer , featuring footage from the series and Neil Patrick Harris 's character , Count Olaf , was released by Netflix in November 2016 , followed shortly by the first full trailer . The second trailer was released in December 2016 , followed by a `` holiday - themed '' trailer from Count Olaf leading fans to a viral marketing website for the fictional Valorous Farms Dairy , which featured four holiday e-cards for download . Reception ( edit ) Audience viewership ( edit ) As Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series , Symphony Technology Group compiled data for the first season based on people using software on their devices that measure television viewing by detecting a program 's sound . According to Symphony , 3.755 million viewers age 18 - 49 were watching an episode of A Series of Unfortunate Events over the average minute in its first weekend of release . Critical response ( edit ) Season 1 ( edit ) The first season of A Series of Unfortunate Events received critical acclaim . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the season an approval rating of 94 % based on 62 reviews , with an average rating of 8.1 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads , `` Enjoyably dark , A Series of Unfortunate Events matches the source material 's narrative as well as its tone , leaving viewers with a wonderfully weird , dry , gothic comedy . '' On Metacritic the season has a score of 81 out of 100 , based on 23 critics , indicating `` universal acclaim '' . Erik Adams of The A.V. Club awarded the season a B and praised it for treating `` mature themes like grief , loss , and disappointment with sardonic honesty . '' Adams compared the program positively to the Adam West Batman series , calling it `` kids stuff with adult sophistication , driven by two - part stories , outrageous visuals , and the scenery - chewing of big - name guest stars '' . Ben Travers of Indiewire gave the series an A - , saying that it `` proves as inspirational and endearing as it claims to be forlorn and heartbreaking '' . Brian Lowry of CNN praised the showrunners for `` infusing the show with a lemony - fresh feel , conjuring a series similar to the fantastical tone of Pushing Daisies '' . Lowry wrote that `` the show proves a good deal of fun '' and that `` Harris dives into his over-the - top character with considerable gusto . '' He also argued that the series improved upon the 2004 film . Several critics praised the television series as a better adaptation of the books than the 2004 feature film , which starred Jim Carrey as Count Olaf . Kelly Lawler of USA Today felt the television format gave the stories more room to develop , the addition of Warburton as the fourth wall - breaking Snicket helped to convey some of the wordplay humor used in the books , and Harris 's portrayal of Olaf was `` much more dynamic , and creepier '' than Carrey 's version . The Verge 's Chaim Gartenburg said that the show follows the books much more faithfully than the film , and `` nails down the tone that made the stories so special '' . Los Angeles Times writer Robert Lloyd felt that the backgrounds of Sonnenfeld and Welch made them `` the right people for this job , set in a milieu that is hard to fix in time , except to say it is not now '' , in capturing the tones of the book compared to the feature film . Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com , on the other hand , gave the series a negative review , calling it `` an unfunny parody of sadness '' that is `` never as clever as it wants to be '' and would only appeal to fans of the books . Caroline Framke of Vox Media praised the series for its unique and weird visuals , but found the show 's tone , pacing and performances to be haphazard and considered the show to be `` literally , a series of unfortunate events '' . Season 2 ( edit ) As with the first season , the second season received critical acclaim . Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the second season an approval rating of 100 % based on 13 reviews , with an average rating of 7.8 / 10 . The site 's critical consensus reads : `` Season two of A Series of Unfortunate Events is as gothic , twisted and absurd as the first , to the delight of moody tweens of all ages . '' Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent praised the show as one that `` essentially deals with thoughtful , intelligent young people battling to speak up against an illogical world . '' While observing that the `` show may revel in the miserable '' , she opined `` that the purpose of its own morbidity is to offer the assurance that hope lives in even the darkest of places . '' Loughrey also credited the show 's expanded storyline for the Baudelaires ' adult allies for `` plumping up '' the episodes ' narrative arcs and deepening the show 's emotional impact . Tristram Fane Saunders of The Telegraph awarded the second season four out of five stars . He described the show as a `` gothic treat ( that ) also offers a wicked line in absurdist humour , and the most gorgeously toybox - like set designs you 'll find anywhere outside a Wes Anderson film . '' Radio Times reviewer Huw Fullerton praised the series for its faithfulness to the original novels . While praising the improved CGI used to make Presley Smith 's character Sunny Baudelaire react better to situations , he criticized the addition of supporting `` good '' characters such as Nathan Fillion 's Jacques Snicket and Sara Canning 's Jacquelyn for `` undercutting the bleakness and loneliness that characterized the novels . '' Rohan Naahar of the Hindustan Times described A Series of Unfortunate Events as `` one of the most lavish originals in Netflix 's bottomless catalogue , created by fans , for fans . '' He also praised Neil Patrick Harris ' performance as Count Olaf . The Den of Geek reviewer Michael Ahr praised tortoise - shell ' amphibiophones ' and stone marimbas score for giving the television series its primal sound . IGN reviewer Jonathon Dornbush criticized the second season 's formulaic plot structure and lack of the insightful observations compared to the first season . He also praised several of the second season 's episodes particularly `` The Ersatz Elevator '' , `` The Hostile Hospital '' , and `` The Carnivorous Carnival '' for smartly twisting the story formula and deepening the novel series ' mythology . Dornbush also praised the performance of guest stars such as Lucy Punch and Patrick Warburton and awarded the second season 7.2 stars .

Davis has a younger sister . He was educated at Chinthurst School and later the City of London Freemen 's School . Davis was born with Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita , an extremely rare form of dwarfism . When Davis was 11 , his grandmother heard a radio advert calling for people who were 4 feet ( 1.2 m ) tall or shorter to be in Return of the Jedi . To Davis , who was a fan of the Star Wars films , it was a dream come true . During the filming of Return of the Jedi , Mark Hamill bought Davis every Star Wars figure he did not have . Career ( edit ) Davis with fellow Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels ( C - 3PO ) in 2010 Davis was originally cast as an extra Ewok , but when Kenny Baker , who was originally going to be Wicket , fell ill , George Lucas picked Davis to be the new Wicket after seeing how he carried himself as an Ewok . Davis based his Ewok movements on his dog , who would tilt his head from side to side whenever he saw something strange . During production on the film , Davis was the subject of a short mockumentary film about his experience as Wicket , titled Return of the Ewok , made by Return of the Jedi 's first assistant director , David Tomblin . The unreleased film was a fictional look at his decision to become an actor and act in the film and his transformation into Wicket the Ewok .

In 1987 , Davis was called to Elstree Studios near London to meet with Ron Howard and George Lucas to discuss a new film project called Willow , which was written with Davis specifically in mind .

In addition to playing Flitwick , Davis played the role of the goblin Griphook in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , despite the role being played previously by fellow dwarf actor Verne Troyer . In 2004 , Davis played the character `` Plates '' in the indie film Skinned Deep , directed by special effects artist Gabriel Bartalos . In 2006 , Davis appeared , alongside fellow Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe , in an episode of BBC 's comedy series Extras as a satirical version of himself .

Many of Davis 's co-stars and fellow dwarf actors from Star Wars , Willow , Labyrinth and the Harry Potter series are represented by the agency .

He has said the only real drawback to being small was the associated health problems . Of his own dwarfism , Davis has said , `` As you get older , you can suffer from painful hips , and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height . '' Davis ' wife , Samantha , has achondroplasia , and their two children also have SED . Their daughter , Annabelle Davis , stars in the CBBC show , The Dumping Ground as Sasha Bellman . As a result of having different causes of dwarfism , the couple 's first two children , sons Lloyd and George , died shortly after birth , having had a fatal combination of the conditions . Samantha is the daughter of Davis ' business partner Peter Burroughs and the sister of actress Hayley Burroughs . Davis met the Burroughs family while filming Willow , where Samantha had a minor role as a Nelwyn villager . Filmography ( edit ) Year Title Role Notes 1982 Return of the Ewok Himself ; Wicket W.

The country has seen the rise of popular styles that have had a significant influence on global culture , including ragtime , blues , jazz , swing , rock , bluegrass , country , R&B , doo wop , gospel , soul , funk , heavy metal , punk , disco , house , techno , salsa , grunge and hip hop . In addition , the American music industry is quite diverse , supporting a number of regional styles such as zydeco , klezmer and slack - key . Distinctive styles of American popular music emerged early in the 19th century , and in the 20th century the American music industry developed a series of new forms of music , using elements of blues and other genres of American folk music . These popular styles included country , R&B , jazz and rock . The 1960s and 1970s saw a number of important changes in American popular music , including the development of a number of new styles , such as heavy metal , punk , soul , and hip hop . Though these styles were not in the sense of mainstream , they were commercially recorded and are thus examples of popular music as opposed to folk or classical music .

The earliest songs that could be considered American popular music , as opposed to the popular music of a particular region or ethnicity , were sentimental parlor songs by Stephen Foster and his peers , and songs meant for use in minstrel shows , theatrical productions that featured singing , dancing and comic performances . Minstrel shows generally used African instruments and dance , and featured performers with their faces blackened , a technique called blackface . By the middle of the 19th century , touring companies had taken this music not only to every part of the United States , but also to the UK , Western Europe , and even to Africa and Asia . Minstrel shows were generally advertised as though the music of the shows was in an African American style , though this was often not true . Sheet music cover for `` Dandy Jim from Caroline '' by Dan Emmett , London , c. 1844 . Black people had taken part in American popular culture prior to the Civil War era , at least dating back to the African Grove Theatre in New York in the 1820s and the publication of the first music by a black composer , Francis Johnson , in 1818 . However , these important milestones still occurred entirely within the conventions of European music . The first extremely popular minstrel song was `` Jump Jim Crow '' by Thomas `` Daddy '' Rice , which was first performed in 1832 and was a sensation in London when Rice performed it there in 1836 . Rice used a dance that he copied from a stable boy with a tune adopted from an Irish jig . The African elements included the use of the banjo , believed to derive from West African string instruments , and accented and additive rhythms . Many of the songs of the minstrel shows are still remembered today , especially those by Daniel Emmett and Stephen Foster , the latter being , according to David Ewen , `` America 's first major composer , and one of the world 's outstanding writers of songs '' . Foster 's songs were typical of the minstrel era in their unabashed sentimentality , and in their acceptance of slavery . Nevertheless , Foster did more than most songwriters of the period to humanize the blacks he composed about , such as in `` Nelly Was a Lady '' , a plaintive , melancholy song about a black man mourning the loss of his wife . The minstrel show marked the beginning of a long tradition of African American music being appropriated for popular audiences , and was the first distinctly American form of music to find international acclaim , in the mid-19th century . As Donald Clarke has noted , minstrel shows contained `` essentially black music , while the most successful acts were white , so that songs and dances of black origin were imitated by white performers and then taken up by black performers , who thus to some extent ended up imitating themselves '' . Clarke attributes the use of blackface to a desire for white Americans to glorify the brutal existence of both free and slave blacks by depicting them as happy and carefree individuals , best suited to plantation life and the performance of simple , joyous songs that easily appealed to white audiences . Blackface minstrel shows remained popular throughout the last part of the 19th century , only gradually dying out near the beginning of the 20th century . During that time , a form of lavish and elaborate theater called the extravaganza arose , beginning with Charles M. Barras ' The Black Crook . Extravaganzas were criticized by the newspapers and churches of the day because the shows were considered sexually titillating , with women singing bawdy songs dressed in nearly transparent clothing . David Ewen described this as the beginning of the `` long and active careers in sex exploitation '' of American musical theater and popular song . Later , extravaganzas took elements of burlesque performances , which were satiric and parodic productions that were very popular at the end of the 19th century . Like the extravaganza and the burlesque , the variety show was a comic and ribald production , popular from the middle to the end of the 19th century , at which time it had evolved into vaudeville . This form was innovated by producers like Tony Pastor who tried to encourage women and children to attend his shows ; they were hesitant because the theater had long been the domain of a rough and disorderly crowd . By the early 20th century , vaudeville was a respected entertainment for women and children , and songwriters like Gus Edwards wrote songs that were popular across the country . The most popular vaudeville shows were , like the Ziegfeld Follies , a series of songs and skits that had a profound effect on the subsequent development of Broadway musical theater and the songs of Tin Pan Alley . `` Old Folks at Home '' Popular minstrel songs , such as this one by Stephen Foster , formed part of the repertoire of camp bands during the Civil War . This performance is by Civil War re-enactors , the 2nd South Carolina String Band . Problems playing this file ? See media help . Tin Pan Alley ( edit ) Tin Pan Alley was an area called Union Square in New York City , which became the major center for music publishing by the mid-1890s . The songwriters of this era wrote formulaic songs , many of them sentimental ballads . During this era , a sense of national consciousness was developing , as the United States became a formidable world power , especially after the Spanish -- American War . The increased availability and efficiency of railroads and the postal service helped disseminate ideas , including popular songs . Some of the most notable publishers of Tin Pan Alley included Willis Woodward , M. Witmark & Sons , Charles K. Harris , and Edward B. Marks and Joseph W. Stern . Stern and Marks were among the more well - known Tin Pan Alley songwriters ; they began writing together as amateurs in 1894 . In addition to the popular , mainstream ballads and other clean - cut songs , some Tin Pan Alley publishers focused on rough and risqué . Coon songs were another important part of Tin Pan Alley , derived from the watered - down songs of the minstrel show with the `` verve and electricity '' brought by the `` assimilation of the ragtime rhythm '' . The first popular coon song was `` New Coon in Town '' , introduced in 1883 , and followed by a wave of coon shouters like Ernest Hogan and May Irwin . Broadway ( edit ) The early 20th century also saw the growth of Broadway , a group of theatres specializing in musicals . Broadway became one of the preeminent locations for musical theater in the world , and produced a body of songs that led Donald Clarke to call the era , the golden age of songwriting . The need to adapt enjoyable songs to the constraints of a theater and a plot enabled and encouraged a growth in songwriting and the rise of composers like George Gershwin , Vincent Youmans , Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern . These songwriters wrote songs that have remained popular and are today known as the Great American Songbook . Foreign operas were popular among the upper - class throughout the 19th century , while other styles of musical theater included operettas , ballad operas and the opera bouffe . The English operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan were particularly popular , while American compositions had trouble finding an audience . George M. Cohan was the first notable American composer of musical theater , and the first to move away from the operetta , and is also notable for using the language of the vernacular in his work . By the beginning of the 20th century , however , black playwrights , composers and musicians were having a profound effect on musical theater , beginning with the works of Will Marion Cook , James Reese Europe and James P. Johnson ; the first major hit black musical was Shuffle Along in 1921 . Imported operettas and domestic productions by both whites like Cohan and blacks like Cook , Europe and Johnson all had a formative influence on Broadway . Composers like Gershwin , Porter and Kern made comedic musical theater into a national pastime , with a feel that was distinctly American and not dependent on European models . Most of these individuals were Jewish , with Cole Porter the only major exception ; they were the descendants of 19th century immigrants fleeing persecution in the Russian Empire , settled most influentially in various neighborhoods in New York City . Many of the early musicals were influenced by black music , showing elements of early jazz , such as In Dahomey ; the Jewish composers of these works may have seen connections between the traditional African American blue notes and their own folk Jewish music . Broadway songs were recorded around the turn of the century , but did not become widely popular outside their theatrical context until much later . Jerome Kern 's `` They Did n't Believe Me '' was an early song that became popular nationwide . Kern 's later innovations included a more believable plot than the rather shapeless stories built around songs of earlier works , beginning with Show Boat in 1927 . George Gershwin was perhaps the most influential composer on Broadway , beginning with `` Swanee '' in 1919 and later works for jazz and orchestras . His most enduring composition may be the opera Porgy and Bess , a story about two blacks , which Gershwin intended as a sort of `` folk opera '' , a creation of a new style of American musical theater based on American idioms . Ragtime ( edit ) Ragtime was a style of dance music based around the piano , using syncopated rhythms and chromaticisms ; the genre 's most well - known performer and composer was undoubtedly Scott Joplin . Donald Clarke considers ragtime the culmination of coon songs , used first in minstrel shows and then vaudeville , and the result of the rhythms of minstrelsy percolating into the mainstream ; he also suggests that ragtime 's distinctive sound may have come from an attempt to imitate the African American banjo using the keyboard . Due to the essentially African American nature of ragtime , it is most commonly considered the first style of American popular music to be truly black music ; ragtime brought syncopation and a more authentic black sound to popular music . Popular ragtime songs were notated and sold as sheet music , but the general style was played more informally across the nation ; these amateur performers played a more free - flowing form of ragtime that eventually became a major formative influence on jazz . Early recorded popular music ( edit ) Thomas Edison 's invention of the phonograph cylinder kicked off the birth of recorded music . The first cylinder to be released was `` Semper Fidelis '' by the U.S. Marine Band . At first , cylinders were released sparingly , but as their sales grew more profitable , distribution increased . These early recorded songs were a mix of vaudeville , barbershop quartets , marches , opera , novelty songs , and other popular tunes . Many popular standards , such as `` The Good Old Summertime '' , `` Shine On Harvest Moon '' , and `` Over There '' come from this time . There were also a few early hits in the field of jazz , beginning with the Original Dixieland Jazz Band 's 1917 recordings , and followed by King Oliver 's Creole Jazz Band , who played in a more authentic New Orleans jazz style . Blues had been around a long time before it became a part of the first explosion of recorded popular music in American history . This came in the 1920s , when classic female blues singers like Ma Rainey , Bessie Smith and Mamie Smith grew very popular ; the first hit of this field was Mamie Smith 's `` Crazy Blues '' . These urban blues singers changed the idea of popular music from being simple songs that could be easily performed by anyone to works primarily associated with an individual singer . Performers like Sophie Tucker , known for `` Some of These Days '' , became closely associated with their hits , making their individualized interpretations just as important as the song itself . At the same time , record companies like Paramount Records and OKeh Records launched the field of race music , which was mostly blues targeted at African American audiences . The most famous of these acts went on to inspire much of the later popular development of the blues and blues - derived genres , including Charley Patton , Lonnie Johnson and Robert Johnson . Popular jazz ( 1920 -- 1935 ) and swing ( 1935 -- 1947 ) ( edit ) Jazz is a kind of music characterized by blue notes , syncopation , swing , call and response , polyrhythms , and improvisation . Though originally a kind of dance music , jazz has now been `` long considered a kind of popular or vernacular music ( and has also ) become a sophisticated art form that has interacted in significant ways with the music of the concert hall '' . Jazz 's development occurred at around the same time as modern ragtime , blues , gospel and country music , all of which can be seen as part of a continuum with no clear demarcation between them ; jazz specifically was most closely related to ragtime , with which it could be distinguished by the use of more intricate rhythmic improvisation , often placing notes far from the implied beat . The earliest jazz bands adopted much of the vocabulary of the blues , including bent and blue notes and instrumental `` growls '' and smears . Paul Whiteman was the most popular bandleader of the 1920s , and claimed for himself the title `` The King of Jazz . '' Despite his hiring many of the other best white jazz musicians of the era , later generations of jazz lovers have often judged Whiteman 's music to have little to do with real jazz . Nonetheless , his notion of combining jazz with elaborate orchestrations has been returned to repeatedly by composers and arrangers of later decades . Whiteman commissioned Gershwin 's `` Rhapsody in Blue '' , which was debuted by Whiteman 's Orchestra . Ted Lewis 's band was second only to the Paul Whiteman in popularity during the 1920s , and arguably played more real jazz with less pretension than Whiteman , especially in his recordings of the late 1920s . Some of the other `` jazz '' bands of the decade included those of : Harry Reser , Leo Reisman , Abe Lyman , Nat Shilkret , George Olsen , Ben Bernie , Bob Haring , Ben Selvin , Earl Burtnett , Gus Arnheim , Rudy Vallee , Jean Goldkette , Isham Jones , Roger Wolfe Kahn , Sam Lanin , Vincent Lopez , Ben Pollack and Fred Waring . In the 1920s , the music performed by these artists was extremely popular with the public and was typically labeled as jazz . Today , however , this music is disparaged and labeled as `` sweet music '' by jazz purists . The music that people consider today as `` jazz '' tended to be played by minorities . In the 1920s and early 1930s , however , the majority of people listened to what we would call today `` sweet music '' and hardcore jazz was categorized as `` hot music '' or `` race music . '' The largest and most influential recording label of the time , The Victor Talking Machine ( RCA Victor after 1928 ) was a restraining influence on the development of `` sweet jazz '' until the departure of Eddie King in October 1926 . King was well known as an authoritarian who would not permit drinking on the job or severe departure from the written music , unless within solos acceptable by popular music standards of the time . This irritated many Victor jazz artists , including famed trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke . Sudhalter , in Lost Chords , cites an example of a 1927 recording by the Goldkette Orchestra in which musicians were allowed considerable freedom , and remarks `` What , one wonders , would this performance have been if Eddie King had been in charge , and not the more liberal Nat Shilkret . Since the Victor ledgers show no less than five recording sessions in January and February 1926 , when King actually conducted Goldkette 's Orchestra , comparison between the approach of Goldkette and King is readily available . In 1935 , swing music became popular with the public and quickly replaced jazz as the most popular type of music ( although there was some resistance to it at first ) . Swing music is characterized by a strong rhythm section , usually consisting of a double bass and drums , playing in a medium to fast tempo , and rhythmic devices like the swung note . Swing is primarily a kind of 1930s jazz fused with elements of the blues and the pop sensibility of Tin Pan Alley . Swing used bigger bands than other kinds of jazz had and was headed by bandleaders that tightly arranged the material , discouraging the improvisation that had been an integral part of jazz . David Clarke called swing the first `` jazz - oriented style ( to be ) at the center of popular music ... as opposed to merely giving it backbone '' . By the end of the 1930s , vocalists became more and more prominent , eventually taking center stage following the American Federation of Musicians strike , which made recording with a large band prohibitively expensive . Swing came to be accompanied by a popular dance called the swing dance , which was very popular across the United States , among both white and black audiences , especially youth . `` Jumpin ' at the Woodside '' This is by Count Basie & His Orchestra , a popular swing song by a jazz legend . Problems playing this file ? See media help . Blues diversification and popularization ( edit ) In addition to the popular jazz and swing music listened to by mainstream America , there were a number of other genres that were popular among certain groups of people -- e.g. , minorities or rural audiences . Beginning in the 1920s and accelerating greatly in the 1940s , the blues began rapidly diversifying into a broad spectrum of new styles . These included an uptempo , energetic style called rhythm and blues ( R&B ) , a merger of blues and Anglo - Celtic song called country music and the fusion of hymns and spirituals with blues structures called gospel music . Later than these other styles , in the 1940s , a blues , R&B and country fusion eventually called rock and roll developed , eventually coming to dominate American popular by the beginning of the 1960s . Country music is primarily a fusion of African American blues and spirituals with Appalachian folk music , adapted for pop audiences and popularized beginning in the 1920s . Of particular importance was Irish and Scottish tunes , dance music , balladry and vocal styles , as well as Native American , Spanish , German , French and Mexican music . The instrumentation of early country revolved around the European - derived fiddle and the African - derived banjo , with the guitar added later . Country music instrumentation used African elements like a call - and - response format , improvised music and syncopated rhythms . Later still , string instruments like the ukulele and steel guitar became commonplace due to the popularity of Hawaiian music in the early 20th century and the influence of musicians such as Sol Hoʻopiʻi and Lani McIntyre . The roots of modern country music are generally traced to 1927 , when music talent scout Ralph Peer recorded Jimmie Rodgers and The Carter Family . Their recordings are considered the foundation for modern country music . There had been popular music prior to 1927 that could be considered country , but , as Ace Collins points out , these recordings had `` only marginal and very inconsistent '' effects on the national music markets , and were only superficially similar to what was then known as hillbilly music . In addition to Rodgers and the Carters , a musician named Bob Wills was an influential early performer known for a style called Western swing , which was very popular in the 1920s and 30s , and was responsible for bringing a prominent jazz influence to country music . Rhythm and blues ( R&B ) is a style that arose in the 1930s and 1940s , a rhythmic and uptempo form of blues with more complex instrumentation . Author Amiri Baraka described early R&B as `` huge rhythm units smashing away behind screaming blues singers ( who ) had to shout to be heard above the clanging and strumming of the various electrified instruments and the churning rhythm sections. . R&B was recorded during this period , but not extensively , and it was not widely promoted by record companies that felt it was not suited for most audiences , especially middle - class whites , because of the suggestive lyrics and driving rhythms . Bandleaders like Louis Jordan innovated the sound of early R&B . Jordan 's band featured a small horn section and prominent rhythm instrumentation and used songs with bluesy lyrical themes . By the end of the 1940s , he had produced nineteen major hits , and helped pave the way for contemporaries like Wynonie Harris , John Lee Hooker and Roy Milton . Christian spirituals and rural blues music were the origin of what is now known as gospel music . Beginning in about the 1920s , African American churches featured early gospel in the form of worshipers proclaiming their religious devotion ( testifying ) in an improvised , often musical manner . Modern gospel began with the work of composers , most importantly Thomas A. Dorsey , who `` ( composed ) songs based on familiar spirituals and hymns , fused to blues and jazz rhythms '' . From these early 20th - century churches , gospel music spread across the country . It remained associated almost entirely with African American churches , and usually featured a choir along with one or more virtuoso soloists . Rock and roll is a kind of popular music , developed primarily out of country , blues and R&B . Easily the single most popular style of music worldwide , rock 's exact origins and early development have been hotly debated . Music historian Robert Palmer has noted that the style 's influences are quite diverse , and include the Afro - Caribbean `` Bo Diddley beat '' , elements of `` big band swing '' and Latin music like the Cuban son and `` Mexican rhythms '' . Another author , George Lipsitz claims that rock arose in America 's urban areas , where there formed a `` polyglot , working - class culture ( where the ) social meanings previously conveyed in isolation by blues , country , polka , zydeco and Latin musics found new expression as they blended in an urban environment '' . 1950s and 1960s ( edit ) The middle of the 20th century saw a number of very important changes in American popular music . The field of pop music developed tremendously during this period , as the increasingly low price of recorded music stimulated demand and greater profits for the record industry . As a result , music marketing became more and more prominent , resulting in a number of mainstream pop stars whose popularity was previously unheard of . Many of the first such stars were Italian - American crooners like Dean Martin , Rudy Vallee , Tony Bennett , Perry Como , Frankie Laine and , most famously , the `` first pop vocalist to engender hysteria among his fans '' Frank Sinatra . The era of the modern teen pop star , however , began in the 1960s . Bubblegum pop groups like The Monkees were chosen entirely for their appearance and ability to sell records , with no regard to musical ability . The same period , however , also saw the rise of new forms of pop music that achieved a more permanent presence in the field of American popular music , including rock , soul and pop - folk . By the end of the 1960s , two developments had completely changed popular music : the birth of a counterculture , which explicitly opposed mainstream music , often in tandem with political and social activism , and the shift from professional composers to performers who were both singers and songwriters . Rock and roll first entered mainstream popular music through a style called rockabilly , which fused the nascent rock sound with elements of country music . Black - performed rock and roll previously had limited mainstream success , and some observers at the time believed that a white performer who could credibly sing in an R&B and country style would be a success . Sam Phillips , of Memphis , Tennessee 's Sun Records , found such a performer in Elvis Presley , who became one of the best - selling musicians in history , and brought rock and roll to audiences across the world . Presley 's success was preceded by Bill Haley , a white performer whose `` Rock Around the Clock '' is sometimes pointed to as the start of the rock era . However , Haley 's music was `` more arranged '' and `` more calculated '' than the `` looser rhythms '' of rockabilly , which also , unlike Haley , did not use saxophones or chorus singing . `` Good Rockin ' Tonight '' This is sung by Elvis Presley and is one of the most popular songs of the rockabilly era .

R&B remained extremely popular during the 1950s among black audiences , but the style was not considered appropriate for whites , or respectable middle - class blacks , because of its suggestive nature . Many popular R&B songs instead were performed by white musicians like Pat Boone , in a more palatable , mainstream style , and turned into pop hits . By the end of the 1950s , however , there was a wave of popular black blues - rock and country - influenced R&B performers gaining unprecedented fame among white listeners ; these included Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry . Over time , producers in the R&B field gradually turned to more rock - based acts like Little Richard and Fats Domino . Doo wop is a kind of vocal harmony music performed by groups who became popular in the 1950s . Though sometimes considered a kind of rock , doo wop is more precisely a fusion of vocal R&B , gospel and jazz with the blues and pop structures , though until the 1960s , the lines separating rock from doo wop , R&B and other related styles were very blurry . Doo wop became the first style of R&B - derived music `` to take shape , to define itself as something people recognized as new , different , strange , theirs '' ( emphasis in original ) . As doo wop grew more popular , more innovations were added , including the use of a bass lead vocalist , a practice that began with Jimmy Ricks of The Ravens . Doo wop performers were originally almost all black , but a few white and integrated groups soon became popular . These included a number of Italian - American groups such as Dion & the Belmonts , while others added female vocalists and even formed all - female groups in the nearly universally male field ; these included The Queens and The Chantels . The 1950s saw a number of brief fads that went on to have a great impact on future styles of music . Performers like Pete Seeger and The Weavers popularized a form of old - time revival of Anglo - American music . This field eventually became associated with the political left - wing and Communism , leading to a decline in acceptability as artists were increasingly blacklisted and criticized . Nevertheless , this form of pop - folk exerted a profound influence in the form of 1950s folk - rock and related styles . Alongside the rather sporadic success of popularized Anglo folk music came a series of Latin dance fads , including mambo , rumba , chachachá and boogaloo . Though their success was again sporadic and brief , Latin music continued to exert a continuous influence on rock , soul and other styles , as well as eventually evolving into salsa music in the 1970s . Country : Nashville sound ( edit ) Beginning in the late 1920s , a distinctive style first called `` old - timey '' or `` hillbilly '' music began to be broadcast and recorded in the rural South and Midwest ; early artists included the Carter Family , Charlie Poole and his North Carolina Ramblers , and Jimmie Rodgers . The performance and dissemination of this music was regional at first , but the population shifts caused by World War II spread it more widely . After the war , there was increased interest in specialty styles , including what had been known as race and hillbilly music ; these styles were renamed to rhythm and blues and country and western , respectively . Major labels had some success promoting two kinds of country acts : Southern novelty performers like Tex Williams and singers like Frankie Laine , who mixed pop and country in a conventionally sentimental style . This period also saw the rise of Hank Williams , a white country singer who had learned the blues from a black street musician named Tee - Tot , in northwest Alabama . Before his death in 1953 , Hank Williams recorded eleven singles that sold at least a million copies each and pioneered the Nashville sound . The Nashville sound was a popular kind of country music that arose in the 1950s , a fusion of popular big band jazz and swing with the lyricism of honky - tonk country . The popular success of Hank Williams ' recordings had convinced record labels that country music could find mainstream audiences . Record companies then tried to strip the rough , honky - tonk elements from country music , removing the unapologetically rural sound that had made Williams famous . Nashville 's industry was reacting to the rise of rockabilly performer Elvis Presley by marketing performers that crossed the divide between country and pop . Chet Atkins , head of RCA 's country music division , did the most to innovate the Nashville sound by abandoning the rougher elements of country , while Owen Bradley used sophisticated production techniques and smooth instrumentation that eventually became standard in the Nashville Sound , which also grew to incorporate strings and vocal choirs . By the early part of the 1960s , the Nashville sound was perceived as watered - down by many more traditionalist performers and fans , resulting in a number of local scenes like the Lubbock sound and , most influentially , the Bakersfield sound . Throughout the 1950s , the most popular kind of country music was the Nashville Sound , which was a slick and pop - oriented style . Many musicians preferred a rougher sound , leading to the development of the Lubbock Sound and Bakersfield Sound . The Bakersfield Sound was innovated in Bakersfield , California in the mid to late 1950s , by performers like Wynn Stewart , who used elements of Western swing and rock , such as the breakbeat , along with a honky tonk vocal style . He was followed by a wave of performers like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard , who popularized the style . Soul ( edit ) Soul music is a combination of R&B and gospel that began in the late 1950s in the United States . Soul music is characterized by its use of gospel techniques with a greater emphasis on vocalists , and the use of secular themes . The 1950s recordings of Sam Cooke , Ray Charles , and James Brown are commonly considered the beginnings of soul music . Solomon Burke 's early recordings for Atlantic Records codified the style , and as Peter Guralnick writes , `` it was only with the coming together of Burke and Atlantic Records that you could see anything resembling a movement '' . The Motown Record Corporation in Detroit , Michigan became successful with a string of heavily pop - influenced soul records , which were palatable enough to white listeners so as to allow R&B and soul to crossover to mainstream audiences . An important center of soul music recording was Florence , Alabama , where the FAME Studios operated . Jimmy Hughes , Percy Sledge and Arthur Alexander recorded at Fame ; later in the 1960s , Aretha Franklin would also record in the area . Fame Studios , often referred to as Muscle Shoals , after a town neighboring Florence , enjoyed a close relationship with Stax , and many of the musicians and producers who worked in Memphis also contributed to recordings done in Alabama . In Memphis , Stax Records produced recordings by soul pioneers Otis Redding , Wilson Pickett , and Don Covay . Other Stax artists such as Eddie Floyd and Johnnie Taylor also made significant contributions to soul music . By 1968 , the soul music movement had begun to splinter , as James Brown and Sly & the Family Stone began to expand upon and abstract both soul and rhythm and blues into other forms . Guralnick wrote that more `` than anything else ... what seems to me to have brought the era of soul to a grinding , unsettling halt was the death of Martin Luther King in April 1968 '' . 1960s rock ( edit ) Among the first of the major new rock genres of the 1960s was surf , pioneered by Californian Dick Dale . Surf was largely instrumental and guitar - based rock with a distorted and twanging sound , and was associated with the Southern California surfing - based youth culture . Dale had worked with Leo Fender , developing the `` Showman amplifier and ... the reverberation unit that would give surf music its distinctively fuzzy sound '' . Inspired by the lyrical focus of surf , if not the musical basis , The Beach Boys began their career in 1961 with a string of hits like `` Surfin ' U.S.A. '' . Their sound was not instrumental , nor guitar - based , but was full of `` rich , dense and unquestionably special '' `` floating vocals ( with ) Four Freshman - ish harmonies riding over a droned , propulsive burden '' . The Beach Boys ' songwriter Brian Wilson grew gradually more eccentric , experimenting with new studio techniques as he became associated with the burgeoning counterculture . The counterculture was a youth movement that included political activism , especially in opposition to the Vietnam War , and the promotion of various hippie ideals . The hippies were associated primarily with two kinds of music : the folk - rock and country rock of people like Bob Dylan and Gram Parsons , and the psychedelic rock of bands like Jefferson Airplane and The Doors . This movement was very closely connected to the British Invasion , a wave of bands from the United Kingdom who became popular throughout much of the 1960s . The British Invasion initially included bands like the Beatles , the Rolling Stones , and The Zombies who were later joined by bands like the Moody Blues and The Who . The sound of these bands was hard - edged rock , with the Beatles originally known for songs that resembled classic black rock songs by Little Richard , Chuck Berry , Smokey Robinson , The Shirelles and the Isley Brothers . Later , as the counterculture developed , The Beatles began using more advanced techniques and unusual instruments , such as the sitar , as well as more original lyrics . Joan Baez and Bob Dylan Folk - rock drew on the sporadic mainstream success of groups like the Kingston Trio and the Almanac Singers , while Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger helped to politically radicalize rural white folk music . The popular musician Bob Dylan rose to prominence in the middle of the 1960s , fusing folk with rock and making the nascent scene closely connected to the Civil Rights Movement . He was followed by a number of country - rock bands like The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers and folk - oriented singer - songwriters like Joan Baez and the Canadian Joni Mitchell . However , by the end of the decade , there was little political or social awareness evident in the lyrics of pop - singer - songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King , whose self - penned songs were deeply personal and emotional . Psychedelic rock was a hard , driving kind of guitar - based rock , closely associated with the city of San Francisco , California . Though Jefferson Airplane was the only psychedelic San Francisco band to have a major national hit , with 1967 's `` Somebody to Love '' and `` White Rabbit '' , the Grateful Dead , a folk , country and bluegrass - flavored jam band , `` embodied all the elements of the San Francisco scene and came ... to represent the counterculture to the rest of the country '' ; the Grateful Dead also became known for introducing the counterculture , and the rest of the country , to the ideas of people like Timothy Leary , especially the use of hallucinogenic drugs like LSD for spiritual and philosophical purposes . `` White Rabbit '' This is by Jefferson Airplane and is one of the most legendary songs of the psychedelic rock genre .

What was formerly known as rock and roll , a reasonably discrete style of music , had evolved into a catchall category called simply rock music , an umbrella term which would eventually include diverse styles like heavy metal music , punk rock and , sometimes even hip hop music . During the 1970s , however , most of these styles were not part of mainstream music , and were evolving in the underground music scene . The early 1970s saw a wave of singer - songwriters who drew on the introspective , deeply emotional and personal lyrics of 1960s folk - rock . They included James Taylor , Carole King and others , all known just as much for their lyric ability as for their performances . The same period saw the rise of bluesy Southern rock and country rock groups like the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd . In the 1970s , soft rock developed , a kind of simple , unobtrusive and mellow form of pop - rock , exemplified by a number of bands like America and Bread , most of whom are little remembered today ; many were one - hit wonders . In addition , harder arena rock bands like Chicago and Styx also saw some major success . Willie Nelson The early 1970s saw the rise of a new style of country music that was as rough and hard - edged , and which quickly became the most popular form of country . This was outlaw country , a style that included such mainstream stars as Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings . Outlaw country was very rock - oriented , and had lyrics that focused on the criminal , especially drug and alcohol - related , antics of its performers , who grew their hair long , wore denim and leather and looked like hippies in contrast to the clean - cut country singers that were pushing the Nashville sound . By the mid-1970s , disco , a form of dance music , was becoming popular , evolving from underground dance clubs to mainstream America . Disco reached its zenith following the release of Saturday Night Fever and the phenomenon surrounding the movie and the soundtrack by The Bee Gees . Disco 's time was short , however , and by 1980 was soon replaced with a number of genres that evolved out of the punk rock scene , like new wave . Bruce Springsteen became a major star , first in the mid to late 1970s and then throughout the 1980s , with dense , inscrutable lyrics and anthemic songs that resonated with the middle and lower classes . 1970s funk and soul ( edit ) In the early 1970s , soul music was influenced by psychedelic rock and other styles . The social and political ferment of the times inspired artists like Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield to release album - length statements with hard - hitting social commentary . Artists like James Brown led soul towards more dance - oriented music , which eventually evolved into funk . Funk was typified by 1970s bands like Parliament - Funkadelic , The Meters , and James Brown himself , while more versatile groups like War , The Commodores and Earth , Wind and Fire also became popular . During the 1970s , some highly slick and commercial blue - eyed soul acts like Philadelphia 's Hall & Oates achieved mainstream success , as well as a new generation of street - corner harmony or city - soul groups like The Delfonics and Howard University 's Unifics . By the end of the 1970s , Philly soul , funk , rock and most other genres were dominated by disco - inflected tracks . During this period , funk bands like The O'Jays and The Spinners continued to turn out hits . After the death of disco in 1980 , soul music survived for a short time before going through yet another metamorphosis . With the introduction of influences from electro music and funk , soul music became less raw and more slickly produced , resulting in a genre of music that was again called R&B , usually distinguished from the earlier rhythm and blues by identifying it as contemporary R&B . 1980s pop ( edit ) By the 1960s , the term rhythm and blues had no longer been in wide use ; instead , terms like soul music were used to describe popular music by black artists . In the 1980s , however , rhythm and blues came back into use , most often in the form of R&B , a usage that has continued to the present . Contemporary R&B arose when sultry funk singers like Prince became very popular , alongside dance - oriented pop stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna . By the end of the 1980s , pop - rock largely consisted of the radio - friendly glam metal bands , who used images derived from the British glam movement with macho lyrics and attitudes , accompanied by hard rock music and heavy metal virtuosic soloing . Bands from this era included many British groups like Def Leppard , as well as heavy metal - influenced American bands Mötley Crüe , Guns N ' Roses , Bon Jovi and Van Halen . The mid-1980s also saw Gospel music see its popularity peak . A new form of gospel had evolved , called Contemporary Christian music ( CCM ) . CCM had been around since the late 1960s , and consisted of a pop / rock sound with slight religious lyrics . CCM had become the most popular form of gospel by the mid-1980s , especially with artists like Amy Grant , Michael W. Smith , and Kathy Troccoli . Amy Grant was the most popular CCM , and gospel , singer of the 1980s , and after experiencing unprecedented success in CCM , crossed over into mainstream pop in the 1980s and 1990s . Michael W. Smith also had considerable success in CCM before crossing over to a successful career in pop music as well . Grant would later produce CCM 's first # 1 pop hit ( `` Baby Baby '' ) , and CCM 's best - selling album ( Heart In Motion ) . In the 1980s , the country music charts were dominated by pop singers with only tangential influences from country music , a trend that has continued since . The 1980s saw a revival of honky - tonk - style country with the rise of people like Dwight Yoakam and the new traditionalists Emmylou Harris and Ricky Skaggs , as well as the development of alternative country performers like Uncle Tupelo . Later alternative country performers , like Whiskeytown 's Ryan Adams and Wilco , found some mainstream success . Birth of the underground ( edit ) During the 1970s , a number of diverse styles emerged in stark contrast to mainstream American popular music . Though these genres were not largely popular in the sense of selling many records to mainstream audiences , they were examples of popular music , as opposed to folk or classical music . In the early 1970s , African Americans and Puerto Ricans in New York City developed hip hop culture , which produced a style of music also called hip hop . At roughly the same time , Latinos , especially Cubans and Puerto Ricans , in New York also innovated salsa music , which combined many forms of Latin music with R&B and rock . The genres of punk rock and heavy metal were most closely associated with the United Kingdom in the 1970s , while various American derivatives evolved later in the decade and into the 1980s . Meanwhile , Detroit slowly evolved a series of electronic music genres like house and techno that later became a major part of popular music worldwide . Hip hop ( edit ) Hip hop is a cultural movement , of which music is a part , along with graffiti and breakdancing . The music is composed of two parts , rapping , the delivery of swift , highly rhythmic and lyrical vocals , and DJing , the production of instrumentation either through sampling , instrumentation , turntablism or beatboxing . Hip hop arose in the early 1970s in The Bronx , New York City . Jamaican immigrant DJ Kool Herc is widely regarded as the progenitor of hip hop ; he brought with him the practice of toasting over the rhythms of popular songs . In New York , DJs like Kool Herc played records of popular funk , disco and rock songs . Emcees originally arose to introduce the songs and keep the crowd excited and dancing ; over time , the DJs began isolating the percussion breaks ( the rhythmic climax of songs ) , thus producing a repeated beat that the emcees rapped over . Rapping included greetings to friends and enemies , exhortations to dance and colorful , often humorous boasts . By the beginning of the 1980s , there had been popular hip hop songs like `` Rappers Delight '' by the Sugarhill Gang and a few major celebrities of the scene , like LL Cool J and Kurtis Blow . Other performers experimented with politicized lyrics and social awareness , while others performed fusions with jazz , heavy metal , techno , funk and soul . Hip hop began to diversify in the latter part of the 1980s . New styles appeared , like alternative hip hop and the closely related jazz rap fusion , pioneered by rappers like De La Soul and Guru . The crews Public Enemy and N.W.A did the most during this era to bring hip hop to national attention ; the former did so with incendiary and politically charged lyrics , while the latter became the first prominent example of gangsta rap . Salsa ( edit ) Salsa music is a diverse and predominantly Caribbean rhythm that is popular in many Latin American countries . Salsa incorporates multiple styles and variations ; the term can be used to describe most any form of the popular Cuban - derived musical genres ( like chachachá and mambo ) . Most specifically however , salsa refers to a particular style was developed by mid-1970s groups of New York City - area Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants to the United States , and stylistic descendants like 1980s salsa romantica . Salsa music always has a 4 / 4 meter . The music is phrased in groups of two bars , using recurring rhythmic patterns , and the beginning of phrases in the song text and instruments . Typically , the rhythmic patterns played on the percussion are rather complicated , often with several different patterns played simultaneously . The clave rhythm is an important element that forms the basis of salsa . Apart from percussion , a variety of melodic instruments are commonly used as accompaniment , such as a guitar , trumpets , trombones , the piano , and many others , all depending on the performing artists . Bands are typically divided into horn and rhythm sections , led by one or more singers ( soneros or salseros ) . Punk and alternative rock ( edit ) Joey and Dee Dee Ramone in concert , 1983 Punk was a kind of rebellious rock music that began in the 1970s as a reaction against the popular music of the day - especially disco , which was seen as insipid and uninspired . Punk drew on American bands including the Velvet Underground , The Stooges and the New York Dolls . Punk was loud , aggressive and usually very simple , requiring little musical training to play . Later in the decade , British bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash found short - lived fame at home and , to a lesser degree , in the United States . American bands in the field included most famously The Ramones , as well as groups like the Talking Heads that played a more artsy kind of music that was closely associated with punk before eventually evolving into pop - new wave . Other major acts include Blondie , Patti Smith and Television . Most of these bands got their start at what is considered `` ground zero '' of punk rock , a club named CBGB . The small club in New York threw a festival in 1975 that showed off the `` top 40 unrecorded rock bands '' . Among these bands were the previously mentioned The Ramones , Sex Pistols , Blondie and the like . Hardcore punk was the response of American youths to the worldwide punk rock explosion of the late 1970s . Hardcore stripped punk rock and New Wave of its sometimes elitist and artsy tendencies , resulting in short , fast , and intense songs that spoke to disaffected youth . Hardcore exploded in the American metropolises of Los Angeles , Washington , DC , New York and Boston and most American cities had their own local scenes by the end of the 1980s . Alternative rock is a diverse grouping of rock bands that in America developed largely from the hardcore scene in the 1980s in stark opposition to the mainstream music scene . Alternative rock subgenres that developed during the decade include indie rock , Gothic rock , noise rock , grunge , and college rock . Most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to punk , which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s . Though the genre is considered to be rock , some styles were influenced by American folk , reggae and jazz . Like punk and hardcore , alternative rock had little mainstream success in America in the 1980s , but via the grassroots establishment of an indie scene through touring , college radio , fanzines , and word - of - mouth , alternative bands laid the groundwork for the breakthrough of the genre in the American public consciousness in the next decade . `` Because the Night '' Song by Patti Smith , one of the most popular of the punk era .

Heavy metal ( edit ) Heavy metal is a form of music characterized by aggressive , driving rhythms and highly amplified distorted guitars , generally with grandiose lyrics and virtuosic instrumentation . Heavy metal is a development of blues , blues rock , rock and prog rock . Its origins lie in the British hard rock bands who between 1967 and 1974 took blues and rock and created a hybrid with a heavy , guitar - and - drums - centered sound . Most of the pioneers in the field , like Black Sabbath , were English , though many were inspired by American performers like Blue Cheer and Jimi Hendrix . Bon Jovi performing in 2001 In the early 1970s , the first major American bands began appearing , like Blue Öyster Cult and Aerosmith , and musicians like Eddie Van Halen began their career . Heavy metal remained , however , a largely underground phenomenon . During the 1980s , a pop - based form of hard rock , with a party - hearty spirit and a glam - influenced visual aesthetic ( sometimes referred to as `` hair metal '' ) dominated the music charts , led by superstars like Poison , Bon Jovi , Mötley Crüe , and Ratt . The 1987 debut of Guns N ' Roses , a hard rock band whose image reflected the grittier underbelly of the Sunset Strip , was at least in part a reaction against the overly polished image of hair metal , but that band 's wild success was in many ways the last gasp of the hard - rock and metal scene . By the mid-1980s , as the term `` heavy metal '' became the subject of much contestation , the style had branched out in so many different directions that new classifications were created by fans , record companies , and fanzines , although sometimes the differences between various subgenres were unclear , even to the artists purportedly belonging to a given style . The most notable of the 1980s metal subgenres in the United States was the swift and aggressive thrash metal style , pioneered by bands like Anthrax , Megadeth , Metallica , and Slayer . 1990s ( edit ) Perhaps the most important change in the 1990s in American popular music was the rise of alternative rock through the popularity of grunge . This was previously an explicitly anti-mainstream grouping of genres that rose to great fame beginning in the early 1990s . The genre in its early stages was largely situated on Sub Pop Records , a company founded by Bruce Pavitt and John Poneman . Significant grunge bands signed to the label were Green River ( half of the members from this band would later become founding members of Pearl Jam ) , Sonic Youth ( although not a grunge band they were influential on grunge bands and in fact it was upon the insistence of Kim Gordon that the David Geffen Company signed Nirvana ) and Nirvana . Grunge is an alternative rock subgenre with a `` dark , brooding guitar - based sludge '' sound , drawing on heavy metal , punk , and elements of bands like Sonic Youth and their use of `` unconventional tunings to bend otherwise standard pop songs completely out of shape . '' With the addition of a `` melodic , Beatlesque element '' to the sound of bands like Nirvana , grunge became wildly popular across the United States . Grunge became commercially successful in the early 1990s , peaking between 1991 and 1994 . Bands from cities in the U.S. Pacific Northwest especially Seattle , Washington , were responsible for creating grunge and later made it popular with mainstream audiences . The supposed Generation X , who had just reached adulthood as grunge 's popularity peaked , were closely associated with grunge , the sound which helped `` define the desperation of ( that ) generation . '' Later Post Grunge bands such as Foo Fighters and Creed became popular form of Alternative rock because it was and still is very radio friendly unlike the Grunge band of which they were musically influenced by . Pop punk bands like Green Day and Blink 182 also gained popularity . In the second half of the 1990s nu metal arose with bands such as Linkin Park , Korn , Limp Bizkit and Slipknot . The independent culture slumbered in the underground scenes with new genres such as lo - fi ( Beck , Sparklehorse , Guided By Voices ) , math rock ( Slint , Shellac ) and post-rock ( Mogwai , Explosions in the Sky ) . Emocore and Post-hardcore became more known with bands such as At the Drive - In and Fugazi . Gangsta rap is a kind of hip hop , most importantly characterized by a lyrical focus on macho sexuality , physicality and a dangerous , criminal image . Though the origins of gangsta rap can be traced back to the mid-1980s raps of Philadelphia 's Schoolly D and the West Coast 's Ice - T , the style is usually said to have begun in the Los Angeles and Oakland area , where Too Short , NWA and others found their fame . This West Coast rap scene spawned the early 1990s G - funk sound , which paired gangsta rap lyrics with a thick and hazy tone , often relying on samples from 1970s P - funk ; the best - known proponents of this sound were the breakthrough rappers Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg . 2000s ( edit ) By the end of the 1990s and into the early 2000s pop music consisted mostly of a combination of pop - hip hop and R&B - tinged pop , including a number of boy bands . Notable female singers also cemented their status in American and worldwide popular music , such as Beyoncé ( with her solo career and as lead singer of Destiny 's Child ) , Britney Spears , Christina Aguilera , Katy Perry , Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift . Also notable was the influence of hip - hop producers on popular music in the mid-late 2000s , including the Neptunes and Timbaland , who made the sounds first heard on Justin Timberlake 's FutureSex / LoveSounds and Nelly Furtado 's Loose imitated throughout popular radio with artists Madonna , Akon and Lady Gaga . In the late 2000s into the early 2010s , pop music began to move towards being heavily influenced by the European electronic dance music scene , taking root in the college crowd through producers like David Guetta , Calvin Harris , Swedish House Mafia and Skrillex . Hip hop / pop combination had also begun to dominate 2000s and early 2010s . In the early 2010s , prominent artists like Bruno Mars , Drake , Lil Wayne , 2 Chainz , Kendrick Lamar , Machine Gun Kelly , and Macklemore began to dominate the mainstream music scene . The predominant sound in 1990s country music was pop with only very limited elements of country . This includes many of the best - selling artists of the 1990s , like Clint Black , Shania Twain , Faith Hill and the first of these crossover stars , Garth Brooks . On the other hand a guitar revival took place and raised a new generation of alternative guitar bands often described as post-punk revival or garage rock revival . Prominent US bands of this generation are White Stripes , The Strokes , and The Killers . New Weird America or sometimes called Freak Folk is a new movement emphasizing the artistic individuality of genre crossing artists such as Antony and the Johnsons , Joanna Newsom , The Dodos , Animal Collective and Cat Power . `` Come as You Are '' This song is by Nirvana , who did more than any other group to bring grunge into the mainstream . Problems playing this file ? See media help . International and social impact ( edit ) American popular music has become extremely popular internationally . Rock , hip hop , jazz , country and other styles have fans across the globe . The combination of parts of international and American popular music has been attempted between the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s . However , the results of synthesis were for the most part unsuccessful . BBC Radio DJ Andy Kershaw , for example , has noted that country music is popular across virtually the entire world . Indeed , out of `` all the contributions made by Americans to world culture ... ( American popular music ) has been taken ( most ) to heart by the entire world '' . Other styles of American popular music have also had a formative effect internationally , including funk , the basis for West African Afrobeat , R&B , a major source for Jamaican reggae , and rock , which has profoundly influenced most every genre of popular music worldwide . Rock , country , jazz and hip hop have become an entrenched part of many countries , leading to local varieties like Australian country music , Tanzanian Bongo Flava and Russian rock . Rock has had a formative influence on popular music , which had the effect of transforming `` the very concept of what popular music '' is . while Charlie Gillett has argued that rock and roll `` was the first popular genre to incorporate the relentless pulse and sheer volume of urban life into the music itself '' . The social impacts of American popular music have been felt both within the United States and abroad . Beginning as early as the extravaganzas of the late 19th century , American popular music has been criticized for being too sexually titillating and for encouraging violence , drug abuse and generally immoral behavior .

Levy Collection of Sheet Music Notes ( edit ) ^ Garofalo is an example of starting with Tin Pan Alley , in a chapter that also contains the coverage of ragtime ^ Ewen is an example , covering national ballads and patriotic songs , folk music , songs of the Negro , minstrel show and its songs and extravaganza to vaudeville ^ Ewen , pg. 69 Ewen claims Dan Emmett was a `` popular - song composer '' , then goes on another , and even more significant , was his contemporary , Stephen Foster -- America 's first major composer , and one of the world 's outstanding writers of songs . ^ Clarke , pgs. 28 -- 29 Clarke notes the song `` Massa 's in the Cold Ground '' as a clear attempt to sentimentalize slavery , though he notes that many slaves must have loved their masters , on whom they depended for everything . Clarke also notes that songs like `` Nelly Was a Lady '' describe the black experience as ordinary human feelings ; they are people as real as the characters in Shakespeare . ^ Ewen , pg. 81 When Milly Cavendish stepped lightly in front of the footlights , wagged a provocative finger at the men in her audience , and sang in her high - pitched baby voice , `` You Naughty , Naughty Men '' -- by T. Kennick and G. Bicknell -- the American musical theater and the American popular song both started their long and active careers in sex exploitation . ^ Ewen , pg. 94 Ewen claims New York was the music publishing center of the country by the 1890s , and says the ' ' publishers devised formulas by which songs could be produced with speed and dispatch ... Songs were now to be produced from a serviceable matrix , and issued in large quantities : stereotypes for foreign songs , Negro songs , humorous ditties , and , most important of all , sentimental ballads . ^ Ewen , pg. 101 Ewen is the source for both `` Drill Ye Tarriers '' and the nature of coon songs ^ Ewen , pg. 101 and Clarke , pg . 62Ewen attributes `` New Coon in Town '' to Paul Allen , though Clarke attributes it to J.S. Putnam -- both agree on the year , 1883 ^ Clarke , pg. 95 Clarke dates the golden age as c. 1914 -- 50 ^ Clarke , pgs. 56 -- 57 Coon songs came out of minstrelsy , and were already established in vaudeville , when all this culminted in ragtime ... ragtime may have begun with attempts to imitate the banjo on the keyboard . ^ Ferris , pg. 228 Conceived as dance music , and long considered a kind of popular or vernacular music , jazz has become a sophisticated art form that has interacted in significant ways with the music of the concert hall . ^ Clarke , pgs. 200 -- 201 From 1935 until after the Second World War a jazz - oriented style was at the centre of popular music for the first time ( and the last , so far ) , as opposed to merely giving it backbone . ^ Garofalo , pg. 45 The ukulele and steel guitar were introduced to this country by the Hawaiian string bands that toured the country after Hawaii became a U.S. territory in 1900 . ^ Collins , pg. 11 In addition , Collins notes that early pseudo-country musicians like Vernon Dalhart who had made their name recording ' country music songs ' were not from the hills and hollows or plains and valleys . These recording stars sang both rural music and city music , and most knew more about Broadway than they did about hillbillies . Their rural image was often manufactured for the moment and the dollar . In contrast , Collins later explains , both the Carter Family and Rodgers had rural folk credibility that helped make Peer 's recording session such an influential success ; it was the Carter Family that was Ralk Peer 's tie to the hills and hollows , to lost loves and found faith , but it took Jimmie Rodgers to connect the publisher with some of country music 's other beloved symbols -- trains and saloons , jail and the blues . ^ Broughton , Viv and James Attlee . `` Devil Stole the Beat '' in the Rough Guide to World Music , Volume 2 , pg. 569 Its seminal figure was a piano player and ex-blues musician by the name of Thomas A. Dorsey ( 1899 -- 1993 ) , who began composing songs based on familiar spirituals and hymns fused to blues and jazz rhythms . ( emphasis in original ) ^ Garofalo , pg. 72 The first pop vocalist to engender hysteria among his fans ( rather than simple admiration or adoration ) was an Italian American who refused to anglicize his name -- Frank Sinatra , the `` Sultan of Swoon '' . ^ Rolling Stone , pgs. 99 -- 100 Ward , Stokes and Tucker call cover versions the ants at the increasingly sumptuous rhythm - and - blues picnic . ^ Szatmary , pgs. 69 -- 70 Also a guitar enthusiast who had released a few undistinctive singles on his own label in 1960 , Dale worked closely with Leo Fender , the manufacturer of the first mass - produced , solid - body electric guitar and the president of Fender Instruments , to improve the Showman amplifier and to develop the reverberation unit that would give surf music its distinctively fuzzy sound . ^ Rolling Stone , pg. 251 Though the Beach Boys ' instrumental sound was often painfully thin , the floating vocals , with the Four Freshman - ish harmonies riding over a droned , propulsive burden ( `` inside outside , U.S.A. '' in `` Surfin ' U.S.A. '' ; `` rah , rah , rah , rah , sis boom bah '' in `` Be True to Your School '' ) were rich , dense and unquestionably special . ^ Garofalo , pg. 201 Garofalo specifically lists `` Roll Over Beethoven '' by Chuck Berry , `` Long Tall Sally '' by Little Richard , `` Twist and Shout '' by the Isley Brothers , `` Money '' by Barrett Strong , `` Boys '' and Baby It 's You '' by The Shirelles , `` You 've Really Got a Hold on Me '' by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and `` Chains '' by The Cookies . ^ Garofalo , pg. 218 The Grateful Dead combined the anticommercial tendencies of white middle - class youth with the mind - altering properties of lyseric acid diethylamide ( LSD ) . ^ Garofalo , pg. 448 Garofalo describes a sampler called Sub Pop 200 as an early anthology of the dark , brooding guitar - based sludge that came to be known as grunge . ^ Garofalo , pg. 451 From ( Glenn Branca 's ) group they learned to use unconventional tunings to bend otherwise standard pop songs completely out of shape , a trademark of Sonic Youth that , in Seattle , resonated as well as the dark side of their musical vision . ^ Szatmary , pg. 285 Recording the songs that would become Nevermind , Nirvana added a melodic , Beatlesque element , which had shaped Cobain , Novoselic , and new drummer Dave Grohl . ^ Szatmary , pg. 284 Grunge , growing in the Seattle offices of the independent Sub Pop Records , combined hardcore and metal to top the charts and help define the desperation of a generation. ; in context , this presumably refers to Generation X , though that term is not specifically used . ^ Kershaw , pg. 167 , from the Rough Guide to World Music , Part Two , `` Our Life Is Precisely a Song '' , pg. 167 Kershaw specifically notes that North Korea was the only country in which he never heard country music ^ Ewen , pg. 3 Of all the contributions made by Americans to world culture -- automation and the assembly line , advertising , innumerable devices and gadgets , skyscrapers , supersalesmen , baseball , ketchup , mustard and hot dogs and hamburrgers -- one , undeniably native has been taken to heart by the entire world . It is American popular music . ^ Garofalo , pg. 94 Suffice it to say , lest we get lost in history , that the music that came to be called rock ' n ' roll began in the 1950s as diverse and seldom heard segments of the population achieved a dominant voice in mainstream culture and transformed the very concept of what popular music was . ^ Gillett , pg . i , quote from Garofalo , pg. 4 Garofalo quotes Gillett as Rock and Roll ( sic ) was perhaps the first form of popular culture to celebrate without reservation characteristics of city life that had been among the most criticized .

"Distinctive styles of American popular music emerged early in the 19th century, and in the 20th century the American music industry developed a series of new forms of music, using elements of blues and other genres of American folk music. These popular styles included country, R&B, jazz and rock. The 1960s and 1970s saw a number of important changes in American popular music, including the development of a number of new styles, such as heavy metal, punk, soul, and hip hop.

Stages of death Pallor mortis Algor mortis Rigor mortis Livor mortis Putrefaction Decomposition Skeletonization Fossilization Rigor mortis ( Latin : rigor `` stiffness '' , mortis `` of death '' ) or postmortem rigidity , the third stage of death , is one of the recognizable signs of death , caused by chemical changes in the muscles post mortem , which cause the limbs of the corpse to stiffen . In humans , rigor mortis can occur as soon as 4 hours post mortem . Contents 1 Physiology 2 Physical changes 3 Applications in meat industry 4 Application in forensic pathology 5 See also 6 References 7 Bibliography Physiology ( edit ) After death , respiration in an organism ceases , depleting the source of oxygen used in the making of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) . ATP is required to cause separation of the actin - myosin cross-bridges during relaxation of muscle . When oxygen is no longer present , the body may continue to produce ATP via anaerobic glycolysis . When the body 's glycogen is depleted , the ATP concentration diminishes , and the body enters rigor mortis because it is unable to break those bridges . Additionally , calcium enters the cytosol after death . Calcium is released into the cytosol due to the deterioration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum . Also , the breakdown of the sarcolemma causes additional calcium to enter the cytosol . The calcium activates the formation of actin - myosin cross-bridging . Once calcium is introduced into the cytosol , it binds to the troponin of thin filaments , which causes the troponin - tropomyosin complex to change shape and allow the myosin heads to bind to the active sites of actin proteins . In rigor mortis myosin heads continue binding with the active sites of actin proteins via adenosine diphosphate ( ADP ) , and the muscle is unable to relax until further enzyme activity degrades the complex . Normal relaxation would occur by replacing ADP with ATP , which would destabilize the myosin - actin bond and break the cross-bridge . However , as ATP is absent , there must be a breakdown of muscle tissue by enzymes ( endogenous or bacterial ) during decomposition . As part of the process of decomposition , the myosin heads are degraded by the enzymes , allowing the muscle contraction to release and the body to relax . Decomposition of the myofilaments occurs 48 to 60 hours after the peak of rigor mortis , which occurs approximately 13 hours after death . Physical Changes ( edit ) At the time of death , a condition called `` primary flaccidity '' occurs . Following this , the muscles stiffen in rigor mortis . All muscles in the body are affected . Starting between two and six hours following death , rigor mortis begins with the eyelids , neck , and jaw . The sequence may be due to different lactic acid levels among different muscles , which is directly related to the difference in glycogen levels and different types of muscle fibers . Rigor mortis then spreads to the other muscles , including the internal organs , within the next four to six hours . The onset of rigor mortis is affected by the individual 's age , sex , physical condition , and muscular build . Rigor mortis may not be perceivable in many infant and child corpses due to their smaller muscle mass . Applications in meat industry ( edit ) Rigor mortis is very important in meat technology . The onset of rigor mortis and its resolution partially determine the tenderness of meat . If the post-slaughter meat is immediately chilled to 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ) , a phenomenon known as cold shortening occurs , whereby the muscle sarcomeres shrink to a third of their original length . Cold shortening is caused by the release of stored calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibers , in response to the cold stimulus . The calcium ions trigger powerful muscle contraction aided by ATP molecules . To prevent cold shortening , a process known as electrical stimulation is carried out , especially in beef carcasses , immediately after slaughter and skinning . In this process , the carcass is stimulated with alternating current , causing it to contract and relax , which depletes the ATP reserve from the carcass and prevents cold shortening . Application in forensic pathology ( edit ) The degree of rigor mortis may be used in forensic pathology , to determine the approximate time of death . A dead body holds its position as rigor mortis sets in . If the body is moved after death , but before rigor mortis begins , forensic techniques such as livor mortis can be applied . If the position in which a body is found does not match the location where it is found ( for example , if it is flat on its back with one arm sticking straight up ) , that could mean someone moved it . Several factors also affect the progression of rigor mortis , and investigators take these into account when estimating the time of death . One such factor is the ambient temperature . In warm environments , the onset and pace of rigor mortis are sped up by providing a conducive environment for the metabolic processes that cause decay . Low temperatures , however , slow them down . Therefore , for a person who dies outside in frozen conditions rigor mortis may last several days more than normal , so investigators may have to abandon it as a tool for determining time of death .

"Rigor mortis (Latin: rigor \"stiffness\", mortis \"of death\") or postmortem rigidity, the third stage of death, is one of the recognizable signs of death, caused by chemical changes in the muscles post mortem, which cause the limbs of the corpse to stiffen.[1] In humans, rigor mortis can occur as soon as 4 hours post mortem.\n"

( September 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) David Bailie ( 1937 - 12 - 04 ) 4 December 1937 ( age 80 ) Springs , South Africa Occupation Actor , photographer , videographer , computer programmer , furniture maker / designer Years active 1961 -- present Spouse ( s ) Egidija Bailie ( m . 2002 ) Website http://davidbailie.co.uk/ David Bailie ( born 4 December 1937 ) is an English actor , known for his performances on stage , television and film . In the 1960s and 1970s he worked for both the National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company , where he was an associate artist . On TV he played `` Dask '' in the 1977 Doctor Who serial The Robots of Death , and also appeared in Blake 's 7 . On film , he played the mute pirate Cotton in the Pirates of the Caribbean series . Bailie is also a professional photographer , specialising in portrait photography . He has a studio in West Kensington , London . Contents ( hide ) 1 Life and career 2 Filmography 3 TV 4 References 5 External links Life and career ( edit ) Bailie was born in Springs , South Africa , and went to boarding school in Swaziland , before emigrating to Rhodesia ( now Zimbabwe ) with his family in 1952 . His first acting experience soon after school in 1955 was an amateur production of Doctor in the House , which persuaded him he wanted to be an actor . After leaving school he worked in a bank and then for Central African Airlines . In 1958 , he made his first trip from Rhodesia to Britain . In 1960 he moved to Britain and landed his first small role in the film Flame in the Streets ( 1961 ) and then played one of the bell boys in Arthur Kopit 's Oh Dad , Poor Dad , Mamma 's Hung You in the Closet and I 'm Feelin ' So Sad ( 1961 ) with Stella Adler playing Madame Rosepettle . He then bluffed his way into weekly repertory in Barrow - in - Furness as juvenile lead -- terrified the while that he would be exposed as totally inexperienced . Recognising the need for training , he auditioned three times for a bursary to the RADA -- each time being accepted only as a fee - paying student , which he could n't afford . He finally sent for the last of his standby money ( £ 200 ) he had left in Rhodesia and paid for the first term ( 1963 ) . At the end of term he persuaded John Fernald to allow him free tuition for the next two years . Terry Hands was also a student at the same time , but had left a little earlier than Bailie and formed the Everyman Theatre with Peter James in Liverpool . On leaving RADA Bailie was invited to join the Everyman in 1964 . Amongst other roles he played `` Tolen '' in The Knack ... , `` Becket '' in Murder in the Cathedral , `` Dion '' in The Great God Brown , `` MacDuff '' in Macbeth and `` Lucky '' in Waiting for Godot . After a year there , he came back to London and auditioned for and was accepted by Sir Laurence Olivier joining the National Theatre . He played minor roles and also understudied Olivier in Love for Love . Terry Hands , who had by now joined the Royal Shakespeare Company ( RSC ) at Stratford - upon - Avon ( and later became its artistic director ) , invited Bailie to join them as an associate artist ( 1965 ) . There he portrayed `` Florizel '' opposite Judi Dench 's `` Perdita '' in The Winter 's Tale along with `` Valentine '' in The Two Gentlemen of Verona , `` The Bastard '' in King John , `` Kozanka '' in The Plebeians Rehearse the Uprising and `` Leslie '' in The Madness of Lady Bright . During the early 1970s he worked with Stomu Yamashta at his Red Buddha Theatre . He was cast as the lead in a show called Raindog , requiring him to do everything from singing and dancing , to performing Martial Arts and gymnastics -- which he frankly admits been a demand too far and when Yamashta offered him a paltry sum for performing the opportunity was there to depart which he did . He was then cast by Michael E. Briant in 1976 to play the part of the villain `` Dask '' in the Doctor Who serial The Robots of Death . He also played in a number of other series prominent at the time . For personal reasons Bailie then had a long recess in his acting career . Between 1980 and 1989 he ran a furniture - making business . In 1990 he closed that down and returned to acting , having in fact to virtually restart his career . It did n't help that at exactly this point he had to have a cancer removed from his lip , which required learning to speak again . Whilst awaiting work in the acting field he busied himself with CAD design , self - training and writing computer programs and also doing health and safety work in the building industry . In the mid-1990s after playing alongside Brian Glover in The Canterbury Tales he made a comeback in the film business as `` Skewer '' in Cutthroat Island ( 1995 ) , then played an English Judge in The Messenger : The Story of Joan of Arc ( 1999 ) , and also `` The Engineer '' in Gladiator ( 2000 ) . Bailie 's best - known work in film is the role of `` Cotton '' , a mute pirate who has his tongue cut out , so he trained his parrot , also named Cotton , to speak on his behalf , though it can not say more than stock phrases . Bailie first appears as Cotton in Pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl ( 2003 ) as one of the pirates Jack Sparrow chooses in Tortuga . He is one of the Black Pearl crewmembers to survive the Kraken attack in the sequel Dead Man 's Chest ( 2006 ) , and also played Cotton in the third instalment : At World 's End ( 2007 ) . Bailie also emerged as a radio actor . He played the mad scientist `` Taren Capel '' , a re-incarnation of his earlier work from the 60s series Doctor Who . He has recently been involved in two Big Finish Productions audio dramas playing the `` Celestial Toymaker '' . Bailie also works as a professional photographer , portraiture and landscapes being his speciality . He has established a YouTube channel mdebailes to which he uploads readings and performance excerpts .

Section 2 . This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three - fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress . History ( edit ) Ulysses S. Grant narrowly lost his party 's nomination , and chance for a third term in 1880 . Woodrow Wilson , pictured in 1923 , deadlocked the Democratic convention in 1920 , but was not nominated . He wished to run again in 1924 , but lacked support and died before the convention . Although the Twenty - second Amendment was clearly a reaction to Franklin D. Roosevelt 's service as President for an unprecedented four terms , the notion of presidential term limits has long - standing roots in American politics . The Constitutional Convention of 1787 considered the issue extensively , although it ultimately declined to restrict the amount of time a person could serve as president . But following George Washington 's decision to retire after his second elected term , numerous public figures subsequently argued he had established a `` two - term tradition '' that served as a vital check against any one person , or the presidency as a whole , accumulating too much power . In his Farewell Address , written near the end of his second term , Washington both reveals he considered not standing for reelection in 1792 , and that his decision not to seek a third term in 1796 was due to age , not intention to set precedent . Eleven years later , Thomas Jefferson further contributed to the convention of a voluntary two - term limit when he wrote in 1807 , `` if some termination to the services of the chief Magistrate be not fixed by the Constitution , or supplied by practice , his office , nominally four years , will in fact become for life . '' Three of the next four presidents after Jefferson -- James Madison , James Monroe , and Andrew Jackson -- served two terms , and each one adhered to the two - term principle . In spite of the strong two - term tradition , a few presidents prior to Franklin Roosevelt did attempt to secure a third term . Ulysses S. Grant , after having served as president from 1869 to 1877 , sought nomination for another term at the 1880 Republican National Convention , but narrowly lost to James Garfield , who would go on to win the 1880 election . Given the Republican Party 's dominance during that period , had Grant been nominated , he might well have won a third term . Theodore Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency on September 14 , 1901 , following William McKinley 's assassination ( 194 days into his second term ) , and was subsequently elected to a full term in 1904 . While he declined to seek a third ( second full ) term in 1908 , Roosevelt did seek one four years later , in the election of 1912 , where he lost to Woodrow Wilson . Wilson himself sought nomination to a third term in 1920 , at the Democratic National Convention ; he deliberately blocked the nomination of the former Secretary of the Treasury , his son - in - law William Gibbs McAdoo , the front - runner . Although seriously ill at the time , Wilson anticipated that the party would side with their sitting president were the convention deadlocked . Wilson was too unpopular even within his own party at the time , and James M. Cox was nominated . He would again contemplate running for a nonconsecutive third term in 1924 , devising a strategy for his comeback , but again lacked any support and died at the beginning of the year . Franklin D. Roosevelt , pictured in August 1944 , was elected to both a third and fourth term , the only president to serve more than eight years . Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the months leading up to the 1940 Democratic National Convention refusing to state whether he would seek a third term . His Vice President , John Nance Garner , along with Postmaster General James Farley , announced their candidacies for the Democratic nomination . When the convention came , Roosevelt sent a message to the convention , saying he would run only if drafted , saying delegates were free to vote for whomever they pleased . The delegates issued 946 votes for Roosevelt , 72 for Farley , and 61 for Garner ; they replaced Garner with Henry A. Wallace as the vice presidential nominee , and Farley resigned as postmaster general . In the 1940 general election , while Republican Wendell Willkie received six million more votes than the previous Republican candidate ( Alfred Landon ) had in 1936 , Roosevelt still won decisively , taking 38 of 48 states . His supporters cited impending war as a reason for breaking with precedent , while Willkie had run against the principle of a third term . Roosevelt was the first president elected to a third term , and remains the only one to exceed eight years in office . Four years later , in the election of 1944 , Roosevelt defeated New York governor Thomas E. Dewey to win an unprecedented fourth term . While he effectively quelled rumors of his poor health during the campaign , Roosevelt 's health was in reality deteriorating . On April 12 , 1945 , only 82 days after his fourth inauguration , he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died . Near the end of the 1944 campaign , Thomas Dewey announced support of an amendment that would limit future presidents to two terms . According to Dewey , `` four terms , or sixteen years ( which is what Roosevelt would have served had he lived until 1949 ) , is the most dangerous threat to our freedom ever proposed . '' The Republican - controlled 80th Congress approved a Joint resolution `` proposing an amendment to the Constitution relating to the terms of office of the president '' . in March 1947 ; it was signed by Speaker of the House Joseph W. Martin and acting President pro tempore of the Senate William F. Knowland . The ratification process for the 22nd Amendment was completed on February 27 , 1951 , 7003143900000000000 ♠ 3 years , 343 days after it was sent to the states . The new amendment 's 2 - term limit did not apply ( due to the grandfather clause in Section 1 ) to the incumbent president , Harry S. Truman . He remained eligible for election to more than two terms . On November 22 , 1963 , President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while riding through Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas , Texas . Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson , who was also in the motorcade , three cars back , was unhurt . Upon Kennedy 's death , Johnson became the nation 's 36th president , and served out the remaining 7002425000000000000 ♠ 1 year , 59 days of Kennedy 's term . Under the terms of the 22nd Amendment , Johnson , who ran for and won a full four -- year term in 1964 was eligible to run for another full term in 1968 ( as he had served less than two years of Kennedy 's term ) . He chose not to do so , announcing his intentions in a March 31 , 1968 , speech to the nation , saying , `` I shall not seek , and I will not accept , the nomination of my party for another term as your president . '' Had he done so and won , and served the full term ( through January 20 , 1973 ) , the total length of his presidency would have been 7003334700000000000 ♠ 9 years , 59 days . Proposal and ratification ( edit ) Congress proposed the Twenty - second Amendment on March 21 , 1947 . The proposed amendment was adopted on February 27 , 1951 . Amendment XXII in the National Archives The following states ratified the amendment : Maine ( March 31 , 1947 ) Michigan ( March 31 , 1947 ) Iowa ( April 1 , 1947 ) Kansas ( April 1 , 1947 ) New Hampshire ( April 1 , 1947 ) Delaware ( April 2 , 1947 ) Illinois ( April 3 , 1947 ) Oregon ( April 3 , 1947 ) Colorado ( April 12 , 1947 ) California ( April 15 , 1947 ) New Jersey ( April 15 , 1947 ) Vermont ( April 15 , 1947 ) Ohio ( April 16 , 1947 ) Wisconsin ( April 16 , 1947 ) Pennsylvania ( April 29 , 1947 ) Connecticut ( May 21 , 1947 ) Missouri ( May 22 , 1947 ) Nebraska ( May 23 , 1947 ) Virginia ( January 28 , 1948 ) Mississippi ( February 12 , 1948 ) New York ( March 9 , 1948 ) South Dakota ( January 21 , 1949 ) North Dakota ( February 25 , 1949 ) Louisiana ( May 17 , 1950 ) Montana ( January 25 , 1951 ) Indiana ( January 29 , 1951 ) Idaho ( January 30 , 1951 ) New Mexico ( February 12 , 1951 ) Wyoming ( February 12 , 1951 ) Arkansas ( February 15 , 1951 ) Georgia ( February 17 , 1951 ) Tennessee ( February 20 , 1951 ) Texas ( February 22 , 1951 ) Nevada ( February 26 , 1951 ) Utah ( February 26 , 1951 ) Minnesota ( February 27 , 1951 ) Ratification was completed on February 27 , 1951 . The amendment was subsequently ratified by the following states : North Carolina ( February 28 , 1951 ) South Carolina ( March 13 , 1951 ) Maryland ( March 14 , 1951 ) Florida ( April 16 , 1951 ) Alabama ( May 4 , 1951 ) In addition , the following states voted to reject the amendment : Oklahoma ( June 1947 ) Massachusetts ( June 9 , 1949 ) The following states took no action to consider the amendment : Arizona Kentucky Rhode Island Washington West Virginia ( Neither Alaska nor Hawaii had yet been admitted as states at the time . ) Attempts at repeal ( edit ) According to historian Glenn W. LaFantasie of Western Kentucky University ( who was opposed to repealing the amendment ) , `` ever since 1985 , when Ronald Reagan was serving in his second term as president , there have been repeated attempts to repeal the Twenty - second Amendment to the Constitution , which limits each president to two terms . '' In early 1989 , during an exit interview with Tom Brokaw of NBC , President Reagan stated his intention to fight for the amendment 's repeal . However , after being diagnosed with Alzheimer 's disease in 1994 , his post-presidential ambitions had to be scrapped . In addition , several congressmen , including Democrats Rep. Barney Frank , Rep. José E. Serrano , Rep. Howard Berman , and Sen. Harry Reid , and Republicans Rep. Guy Vander Jagt , Rep. David Dreier and Sen. Mitch McConnell have introduced legislation to repeal the Twenty - second Amendment , but each resolution died before making it out of its respective committee . Other alterations have been proposed , including replacing the absolute two term limit with a limit of no more than two consecutive terms and giving Congress the power to grant an exemption to a current or former president by way of a supermajority vote in both houses . On January 4 , 2013 , Rep. José E. Serrano again introduced a resolution proposing an Amendment to repeal the Twenty - second Amendment , as he had done every two years since 1997 ; he did not do so during the 114th Congress . Interaction with the Twelfth Amendment ( edit ) There is a point of contention regarding the interpretation of the Twenty - second Amendment as it relates to the Twelfth Amendment , ratified in 1804 , which provides that `` no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States '' . While it is clear that under the Twelfth Amendment the original constitutional qualifications of age , citizenship , and residency apply to both the President and Vice President , it is unclear whether a two - term president could later serve as Vice President . Some argue that the Twenty - second Amendment and Twelfth Amendment bar any two - term president from later serving as Vice President as well as from succeeding to the presidency from any point in the United States presidential line of succession . Others contend that the Twelfth Amendment concerns qualification for service , while the Twenty - second Amendment concerns qualifications for election , and thus a former two - term president is still eligible to serve as vice president . The practical applicability of this distinction has not been tested , as no former president has ever sought the vice presidency , although in 1980 , former president Gerald Ford was mentioned as a possible running mate for Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan and there were some negotiations between the two camps . Nothing ever became of the idea , and had Ford been selected , he would have still been eligible for election as President , as he had only served less than one full term in finishing out Richard Nixon 's second term . During Hillary Clinton 's 2016 candidacy , she jokingly said that she had considered naming Bill Clinton as her Vice President , but had been advised it would be unconstitutional . Others contend that a `` termed out '' President would be eligible to ascend to the Presidency via Presidential succession rules given the text 's explicit reference to election . The Constitution does not restrict the number of terms a person can serve as Vice President . Affected individuals ( edit ) The amendment explicitly did not apply to the sitting president ( Harry S. Truman ) at the time it was proposed by Congress . Truman , who had served nearly all of Franklin D. Roosevelt 's unexpired fourth term and who had been elected to a full term in 1948 , was thus eligible to seek re-election in 1952 . However , after poor performance in the 1952 New Hampshire primary , Truman chose not to seek his party 's nomination . He theoretically also would have been eligible in later elections . Since the amendment 's ratification , Dwight D. Eisenhower , Richard M. Nixon , Ronald Reagan , Bill Clinton , George W. Bush , and Barack Obama have been elected president twice . The same party has won the presidency in three consecutive elections only once since World War II , when Republican George H.W. Bush won in 1988 after two terms as Vice President with Republican Ronald Reagan . In all other cases , the opposing party 's candidate has won after two terms with a single party : Dwight D. Eisenhower ( R ) in 1952 , John F. Kennedy ( D ) in 1960 , Richard Nixon ( R ) in 1968 , Jimmy Carter ( D ) in 1976 , Bill Clinton ( D ) in 1992 , George W. Bush ( R ) in 2000 , Barack Obama ( D ) in 2008 , and Donald Trump ( R ) in 2016 . The only president who took office after the ratification of the Twenty - second Amendment and who could have served more than eight years was Lyndon B. Johnson . He became President in 1963 when John F. Kennedy was assassinated , served the final 14 months ( less than two years ) of Kennedy 's term , was elected president in 1964 , and ran briefly for re-election in 1968 but chose to withdraw from the race . Gerald Ford became president on August 9 , 1974 , and served the final 29 months ( more than two years ) of Richard Nixon 's unexpired term . Ford , who lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976 , would have been eligible to be elected in his own right only once . Since Ford 's death in 2006 , the only former presidents who remain technically eligible to seek another term are Jimmy Carter ( elected in 1976 , defeated in 1980 ) and George H.W. Bush ( elected in 1988 , defeated in 1992 ) ; both are now nonagenarians and neither has announced any plans to ever run again .

They first fly to Oyster Bay , New York , on Long Island , to pick up Pam 's father , retired CIA operative Jack Byrnes ( De Niro ) , her mother Dina ( Danner ) and one - year - old nephew Little Jack ( the son of Bob and Debbie Banks ) . But rather than going to the airport as planned , Jack decides to drive the family to Miami to meet the Fockers in his new RV . Once they arrive , they are greeted by Greg 's eccentric but fun - loving and amiable father , Bernie ( Hoffman ) , and mother , Roz ( Streisand ) , who is a sex therapist for elderly couples . Worried that Jack may be put off by the Focker 's lifestyle , Greg convinces Roz to pretend that she is a yoga instructor for the weekend . However , small cracks begin to form between Jack and the Fockers , due to their contrasting personalities . The meet gets off to a bad start when a chase between the Focker 's active dog , Moses , and the Byrnes 's cat , Jinx , culminates with Jinx flushing Moses down the RV 's toilet , forcing Bernie to destroy it to save Moses . Later , Bernie accidentally injures Jack 's back during a game of football . Meanwhile , Pam informs Greg that she 's pregnant , and the two decide to keep it secret from Jack . Jack again becomes suspicious of Greg 's integrity and quality , when they are introduced to the Fockers ' housekeeper , Isabel Villalobos ( Alanna Ubach ) , with whom Bernie reveals Greg had a sexual affair fifteen years before . Jack later takes the RV to Isabel 's fifteen - year - old son , Jorge ( Ray Santiago ) , to fix the toilet , but is disturbed by Jorge 's striking resemblance to Greg , and the fact that Jorge never met his father , and jumps to the conclusion that he may be Greg 's son with Isabel . Meanwhile , Roz , Bernie and Dina realize Pam is pregnant , but promise not to tell Jack . Growing envious of Bernie and Roz 's active sex life , Dina consults Roz on sex tips in order to seduce Jack , but none of them work . Greg and Jack 's relationship goes off with a bang when Greg is left alone to babysit Little Jack , whom Jack has been raising via the Ferber method . Despite Jack 's instructions to leave Little Jack to self - soothe , Greg can not stand to listen to Little Jack 's cries and tends to the boy to cheer him up by hugging him , letting him watch TV , acting funny and inadvertently teaching Little Jack the word `` asshole . '' Disaster strikes when Greg answers a brief phone call from Roz , which is long enough for Little Jack to wander out of his playpen ( after Jinx opens it ) , put on Scarface and glue his hands to a bottle of rum . After a furious argument with the Fockers and his own family ( though amends are quickly made ) , Jack resumes his spying on Greg and sends Greg and Jorge 's hair samples for a DNA test , while inviting Jorge to the Fockers ' planned engagement party in the hope of getting Greg to admit he is Jorge 's father . At the engagement party , Jack , who automatically assumes that Greg knew about Jorge and has deliberately been keeping him a secret from Pam , introduces Greg to Jorge . Later , when Greg denies knowing anything about Jorge , Jack does not believe him and drugs him with truth serum to make him talk . On stage , Greg uncontrollably blurts out that Pam is pregnant and that Jorge is , without a doubt , his son ( in a comically Darth Vader-esque manner ) before losing consciousness . The next morning , Pam questions Greg about Jorge , and Greg does not confirm or deny that he is Jorge 's father , but insists that he knew nothing about him before the previous evening . Pam believes him , and is willing to work things out with him . Jack reaches his breaking point with Greg 's dishonesty and demands that Pam and Dina leave the island with him . Dina refuses and reveals Jack 's actions to everyone . Everyone turns against Jack , with Pam announcing her intent to marry Greg regardless of him having Jorge with Isabel , and Dina admits that they all knew of Pam 's pregnancy . A shocked and hurt Jack leaves with his grandson . Bernie and Greg pursue Jack , but are soon tasered and arrested by an incompetent deputy sheriff , Vern LeFlore ( Tim Blake Nelson ) , for speeding . Jack returns to defend them after being informed Greg is not Jorge 's father ( his real father turns out to be a baseball player who also resembles Greg ) , but the overzealous LeFlore tasers and arrests him as well . In their cell , Greg , Jack and Bernie are released by the local judge , Ira ( Shelley Berman ) , who is a client of Roz and close friend of the Fockers . Before they leave , Greg asks both Jack and Bernie to stop their feud . Jack admits that he made a mistake regarding Jorge and reveals his past career in the CIA to Bernie , before apologizing for his actions and making up with the two of them . Greg and Pam are married that weekend by Pam 's ex-fiancé , Kevin ( Owen Wilson ) , who is now an ordained interfaith minister . During the party , Jack asks Roz for some sex tips and sneaks into the RV with Dina . During the post-credit scene , Jack watches hidden baby - cam footage of the Fockers giving attention to Little Jack over Jack 's previous objections : Roz gives Little Jack chocolate , Bernie advises him to use his crying to disagree with everything Jack says , and Greg pretends to drunkenly tell Little Jack to keep it a secret that he left to smoke pot , not answer the phone , when he left Little Jack unattended and that Pam is not really pregnant and only said it so that Jack would let them get married . Greg then pretends to only just discover the camera but then after making mocking gestures at it , Greg reveals that he knew about it all along and none of the things he said before were true .

They were announced during a Google event on October 4 , 2017 , as the successors to the Pixel and Pixel XL . They were released on October 19 , 2017 , and serve as the second set of smartphones in the Google Pixel hardware line . Contents 1 History 2 Specifications 2.1 Design 2.2 Hardware 2.3 Software 3 Reception 4 Issues 4.1 Screen issues 4.2 Audio issues 4.3 Other issues 4.4 Fixed issues 5 Sales 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) In early March 2017 , Google 's Rick Osterloh confirmed that they would bring a `` next - gen '' Pixel phone later that year . He stated it would `` stay premium '' and that there would be no `` cheap Pixel '' . Google originally intended to use HTC to manufacture both their 2017 flagships , but later shifted to LG to manufacture the bigger Pixel 2 XL . The unreleased device that was supposed to be the Pixel 2 XL under the codename `` Muskie '' , was later re-developed by HTC into the HTC U11+ . The Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are currently carried in the United States by Verizon and Project Fi . Specifications ( edit ) Design ( edit ) The back of the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is made from aluminum with a thin `` premium coating '' of plastic and has a top section made from glass to provide wireless transmissivity . Unlike the original Pixel XL , which was simply an enlarged version of the Pixel design with no other changes , the Pixel 2 XL 's external design differs from its smaller sibling , employing a taller 18 : 9 P - OLED display instead of the Pixel 2 's 16 : 9 AMOLED . Hardware ( edit ) The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL are both powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 , coupled with 4 GB LPDDR4X RAM . They both come in storage options of 64 or 128 GB . Magnified view showing the diagonal PenTile pixel arrangement on the Pixel 2 ( not XL ) The Pixel 2 has a 5 - inch ( 130 mm ) AMOLED display panel with 1920 × 1080 resolution , coming in at around 441 ppi , while the Pixel 2 XL comes with a 6 - inch ( 150 mm ) P - OLED display panel with a 18 : 9 aspect ratio and a 2880 × 1440 resolution at 538 ppi . Both phones have a 12.2 megapixel rear camera capable of recording 4K video at 30 FPS , 1080p video at 120 FPS , and 720p video at 240 FPS . The camera also contains phase - detection autofocus , laser autofocus , and HDR+ processing . The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL also include the Intel - designed Pixel Visual Core image processor for faster and lower power image processing , though it was not enabled until Android 8.1 was released in January 2018 . The camera does not allow capturing Raw images and lacks manual controls . Unlike Apple 's iPhone 8 and iPhone X , the Pixels do not have support for 4K video at 60 FPS , as the processor is not powerful enough . Although the camera has Optical Image Stabilization it is unable to remove some high frequency vibrations that other smartphones are able to remove . Pixel 2 owners receive free unlimited storage for all photos and videos taken on the phone in original quality through the end of 2020 , with unlimited high - quality storage continuing afterwards . The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL support USB Power Delivery quick charging , have a fingerprint sensor on the rear , IP67 dust and water resistance and are Daydream - ready . Software ( edit ) The phones ship with stock Android 8.0 `` Oreo '' on launch . Google has promised three years of software and security updates , making it closer to the average four years of support that Apple provides for its iPhones . The new Pixels also include a feature called `` Active Edge '' . With this , the Google Assistant can be launched by squeezing the phone 's sides , similar to the HTC U11 's `` Edge Sense '' feature . This phone was also released with the new Google Lens app , which is designed to bring up relevant information using visual analysis by the camera . Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL also automatically reverse searches songs which are playing around the device . Android 8.1 Oreo was released for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL on December 5 , 2017 . Reception ( edit ) The Pixel 2 camera received a score of 98 from DxOMark , making it the highest performing mobile device camera at the end of 2017 , and was overtaken in March 2018 by Samsung 's Galaxy S9+ . The Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL received mixed reviews . The phone was praised for the camera quality and water resistance , but was criticized for the removal of the headphone jack , particularly after Google mocked Apple for doing the same with its iPhone 7 phone at the launch of the first generation Pixel phone just 12 months prior . Google was also criticized for the price of the USB - C to 3.5 mm headphone adapter it sells , which costs US $20 while Apple 's Lightning to 3.5 mm adapter costs US $9 , as well as for not including headphones with the phone . However , news outlets noted that because USB - C is a standard interface , unlike Lightning , there are a variety of third - party adapters that retail for less than Google 's official one . Google later dropped the price of the adapter to US $9 , keeping the price in - line with Apple 's offering . YouTuber JerryRigEverything , who performs durability tests on various smartphones , criticized Google for their design choice with the antenna lines on the sides of the handset . When he bent the Pixel 2 , it cracked at the antenna line near the middle of the phone , voiding its water resistance and warranty , while most other phones from competitors pass his bend test . This does not apply to the Pixel 2 XL . The design of the smaller Pixel 2 was regarded as plain , and its big chunky bezels were not well received , considering that earlier 2017 phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 had moved to nearly bezel-less screens . The Pixel 2 XL screen became infamous for quality control issues , a flaw shared with the LG V30 which also has the same manufacturer and P - OLED screen type . The Pixel 2 XL has a blue tint visible on the screen when the phone is viewed at an angle . Many were dissatisfied and it was speculated that Google had installed the polarizer incorrectly . However , when Google addressed the tint , they stated that it was a design choice to have the blue tint to go along with the cooler color temperature used by the screen ( it is calibrated to a D67 white point , which is 6700K ) . Issues ( edit ) Screen issues ( edit ) Vlad Savov of The Verge has complained of under - saturated and distorted OLED displays , and there have also been reports of screen burn - in on some Pixel 2 XL units . The Pixel 2 XL also suffers from a `` black smear '' problem , which occurs when a group of black pixels transition to colored ones , and tend to linger for a while , before changing to their expected state . Google conducted an investigation and said that a software update would be coming soon that would add a new mode for more saturated colors , reducing the maximum brightness of the Pixel 2 XL devices by 50 cd / m to reduce load on the display , and fading out the navigation bar after a period of inactivity . The November security patch came with three new screen modes that Google promised earlier , although Google has also said that further enhancements would be included in a separate software update to be released in December . Google also extended device warranty to two years for both devices worldwide . The Pixel 2 XL has an issue where the screen may flash randomly . It occurs when the phone is locked or unlocked . The issue was fixed in the June system software update , but returned back with the July update . Audio issues ( edit ) Hundreds of Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL owners have been complaining of high - pitched and clicking sounds coming from the phone . Google investigated the issue and recommended turning off NFC to temporarily fix the problem until a software update comes out . The November security patch fixed the clicking sound as well as the KRACK WPA2 Wi - Fi security issue , however , it did not fix the buzzing sounds heard during calls on some devices . Google has promised a fix in a future update . The Pixel 2 XL has a volume flaw that reduces the sound level of audio clips sent through messaging apps such as Google Allo , Instagram , and Telegram among others . Google is aware of the problem and is looking into it . Some of the USB - C to 3.5 mm adapters for the headphones do not work . In some cases , rebooting the phone can fix the issue temporarily . Google is offering replacements for the faulty adapters . Some Pixel 2 XL suffer from speaker rattling when playing content or even during phone calls . Multiple users reported that the microphone can randomly stop working . A possible solution is to blow into the microphone . Some units suffer from Bluetooth connectivity issues . There is an issue where Google Assistant does not work with some Bluetooth headphones . Other issues ( edit ) The Pixel 2 XL comes with a charger capable of fast charging at 18 W , but the phone is not able to charge at more than 10.5 W , taking two and a half hours for a full charge . Below 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) the charging speed is just a mere 3 - 4W , but the phone will still display `` Charging rapidly '' , which is misleading . The phones are known to randomly reboot . Google promised a fix in the coming weeks . The random reboots are believed to be caused by the LTE modem . The Android 8.1 release in 2017 did not fix the problem . The Android 8.1 update introduces an issue in the Pixel 2 XL making the fingerprint sensor slower . Google is investigating the issue . The phones have issues with Wi - Fi mesh networks , where disconnects are common . Google is already investigating this issue . Users started reporting battery drain issues after the February security update . The battery drain become worse after the April security updates . Google is looking for a fix . Users are reporting proximity sensor issues . Google is aware of the issue and looking for a fix . Some users are having issues making calls and receiving MMS messages . Google claims these issues are fixed but users are still complaining about them . The Pixel 2 produces blurry panoramas . Google has known about this issue since December 2017 , but has not been able to deliver a fix . There is a workaround for this issue but it requires rooting the phone ( which requires a full wipe if the bootloader was n't previously unlocked ) . Google has promised a fix later in 2018 . The June OTA update introduces an issue that makes the phone much slower to wake up from sleep . Google is already aware of the issue and looking for a fix . The camera has an issue where it sometimes shows `` fatal camera error '' . Google is aware of the issue and working on a fix . Android Pie update causes an issue with the fast charge functionality on the Pixel 2 XL . Google is aware of the issue and looking for a fix . The phone has lag issues and can get extremely laggy without a known cause . The only known fix is to replace the device . Google is aware of the issue and looking for a fix . Fixed issues ( edit ) Some Pixel 2 XL devices also fail to register touch near the edges of the screen . Android 8.1 fixes this issue . Some Pixel 2 XL units suffer from poor audio recording quality . The recorded audio is high - pitched and distorted . Android 8.1 fixes this issue . Some Pixel 2 XL devices were shipped to consumers without an operating system , rendering them unusable . Many users are reporting that unlocked devices have a locked bootloader . Google fixed the issue , but the solution includes factory resetting the device . Sales ( edit ) In the United States , Verizon and Project Fi are the exclusive carriers for the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL . They are available direct - to - consumer for use on any wireless network through Google 's online store , or from Best Buy and Target . On March 21 , 2018 , Google did a temporary offer if a consumer financed a Pixel for 2 years the consumer receives $200 cashback , to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S9 and iPhone X . The promotion ended March 31 , 2018 . On July 9th , 2018 , Google reduced the Pixel 2 XL price significantly .

The Patriots defeated the Panthers by the score of 32 - 29 . The game was played at Reliant Stadium in Houston , Texas , on Sunday , February 1 , 2004 . At the time , this was the most watched Super Bowl ever with 144.4 million viewers . The Panthers were making their first ever Super Bowl appearance after posting an 11 -- 5 regular season record . They also made it the second straight year that a team from the NFC South division made the Super Bowl , with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning Super Bowl XXXVII . The Patriots were seeking their second Super Bowl title in three years after posting a 14 -- 2 record . NFL fans and sports writers widely consider this game one of the most well - played and thrilling Super Bowls ; Sports Illustrated writer Peter King hailed it as the `` Greatest Super Bowl of all time . '' Although neither team could score in the first and third quarters , they ended up with a combined total of 868 yards and 61 points . The game was scoreless for a Super Bowl record 26 : 55 before the two teams combined for 24 points prior to halftime . The clubs then combined for a Super Bowl record 37 points in the fourth quarter . The contest was finally decided when the Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri 's 41 - yard field goal was made with four seconds left . Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named Super Bowl MVP for the second time in his career . The game is also known for its controversial halftime show in which Janet Jackson 's breast , adorned with a nipple shield , was exposed by Justin Timberlake for about half a second , in what was later referred to as a `` wardrobe malfunction '' . Along with the rest of the halftime show , it led to an immediate crackdown by the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) , and widespread debate on perceived indecency in broadcasting .

This was the first Super Bowl to be played in a stadium with a retractable roof ( but it was eventually closed during the game ) . It also marked the first time in 4 tries that the Patriots played a Super Bowl that was not in New Orleans . This game marked a six - month stretch for Texas hosting the Super Bowl , NCAA men 's Division I basketball Final Four and Major League Baseball ( MLB ) All - Star Game . The Final Four was played at the Alamodome in San Antonio and the MLB All - Star Game was also played in Houston at nearby Minute Maid Park . Beginning with this game , all Super Bowl games have been played on the first Sunday in February every year . This is based on the 22 weeks necessary from opening week through Super Bowl Sunday , which includes scheduling no games until after Labor Day , granting a bye week to each team during the sixteen - game season , and granting a bye week to the teams qualifying for the Super Bowl after each wins their respective conference championship game . Consequently , the Super Bowl is currently scheduled no earlier than February 1 and no later than February 7 . This game set the record for most Roman numerals in a Super Bowl title ( seven ) . This will not be matched until Super Bowl LXXVIII after the 2043 NFL season and Super Bowl LXXXVII after the 2052 season , and not surpassed until Super Bowl LXXXVIII after the 2053 season . The Panthers go from 1 -- 15 to the Super Bowl ( edit ) Main article : 2003 Carolina Panthers season The Panthers made their first trip to the Super Bowl after posting a one - win regular season just two years earlier . The franchise was only in their ninth year of existence , joining the league as an expansion team in 1995 . In just their second season , they posted a 12 -- 4 regular season record and advanced to the NFC Championship Game , but lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers 30 -- 13 ( the Packers coincidentally went on to defeat the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI 35 -- 21 ) . But from 1997 onward , they had just one non-losing season ( an 8 -- 8 finish in 1999 ) until they finally suffered through a franchise worst 1 -- 15 record in 2001 , winning only the first game of the regular season against the Minnesota Vikings . After that year , head coach George Seifert was relieved of his duties and replaced by John Fox , former defensive coordinator for the New York Giants who helped lead the Giants to Super Bowl XXXV in 2000 . With John Fox at the helm and the team taking advantage of the free agent market and the salary cap rules , the Panthers improved in 2002 , finishing with a 7 -- 9 record . Then in 2003 , they recorded an 11 -- 5 record and won the NFC South . One of the free agents that Carolina signed before the 2003 season was quarterback Jake Delhomme . Delhomme was not picked by any team in the NFL Draft , but later joined the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 1998 . Delhomme also then played for the NFL Europe 's Frankfurt Galaxy in 1999 , and along with Pat Barnes , he was part of the `` double - headed quarterback monster '' that led the Galaxy to a World Bowl victory over the Barcelona Dragons . Although he only played 6 games in his 5 seasons with New Orleans , the Panthers signed Delhomme in 2003 to be the backup to starting quarterback Rodney Peete . However , after the Panthers fell to a 17 -- 0 third quarter deficit in their first game of the season against the Jacksonville Jaguars , gaining only one first down and 36 offensive yards , Fox immediately replaced Peete with Delhomme . Delhomme ended up leading Carolina to a 24 -- 23 comeback victory over the Jaguars . Delhomme became the team 's starting quarterback for the rest of the season , throwing for 3,219 yards and 19 touchdowns , with 16 interceptions . The team 's main receiving threat was multi-talented third - year wide receiver Steve Smith , who also specialized as a kickoff and punt returner. Smith caught 88 passes for 1,110 yards and 7 touchdowns , rushed for 42 yards , gained 439 yards and another touchdown returning punts , and recorded 309 kickoff return yards . Wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad was also a constant breakaway threat , recording 54 receptions for 837 yards and 3 touchdowns . However , the Panthers ' strength on offense was their running game , led by running backs Stephen Davis and DeShaun Foster . Davis was the team 's leading rusher with a franchise record 1,444 yards and 8 touchdowns , while Foster rushed for 429 yards and caught 26 passes for 207 yards . Carolina also had running back Rod Smart on their roster , who became widely known for his XFL debut jersey name `` He Hate Me '' during that league 's only season in 2001 . During 2003 , Smart was primarily used as the Panthers ' other kickoff returner , recording 947 yards and one touchdown . On defense , Carolina 's main strength was their defensive line , anchored by defensive ends Julius Peppers ( 7 sacks and 3 forced fumbles ) and Mike Rucker ( 12 sacks and 1 interception ) , and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kris Jenkins ( 5 sacks and 1 fumble recovery ) . The secondary was led by defensive backs Reggie Howard ( 2 interceptions ) , Mike Minter ( 3 interceptions for 100 return yards and 2 touchdowns ) , Deon Grant ( 3 interceptions ) , and Ricky Manning Jr. ( 3 interceptions for 33 return yards and 1 touchdown ) . The Patriots go for two out of three ( edit ) Main article : 2003 New England Patriots season Despite their victory in Super Bowl XXXVI after the 2001 season , the Patriots stumbled early in the 2002 season , recorded a 9 -- 7 regular season record , and failed to make the playoffs . Then , New England seemed to implode before the 2003 season ever started . Five days before their opening game against the Buffalo Bills , Pro Bowl safety Lawyer Milloy , one of the Patriots ' defensive leaders , was unexpectedly cut by the team after refusing to restructure his contract . The move devastated many of the New England players , while Milloy immediately signed with the Bills two days later . With the Patriots seemingly in emotional disarray , Buffalo defeated New England , 31 -- 0 , with Milloy forcing an interception and recording one sack and five tackles . However , after a 2 -- 2 start , the Patriots ended up winning their last 12 games ( including a mirror 31 -- 0 shutout of the Bills in the final week ) to earn a league - best 14 -- 2 record . Tom Brady , the Super Bowl XXXVI MVP , had become the team 's permanent starter in 2002 after quarterback Drew Bledsoe left the team to lead the Bills . Brady had a solid season in 2003 , completing 317 out of 527 ( 60.2 percent ) of his passes for 3,620 yards and 23 touchdowns , with only 12 interceptions . His primary weapon was second year wide receiver Deion Branch , who caught 57 passes for 803 yards . Another key contributor was wide receiver David Givens , who filled in for the injured starter David Patten . Givens recorded 34 receptions for 510 yards and 6 touchdowns . Other weapons in the passing game included veteran wide receiver Troy Brown , who had 40 receptions , 472 yards , 4 touchdowns , and 293 yards returning punts , and tight end Daniel Graham who recorded 28 catches , 409 yards , and 4 touchdowns . In the backfield , the team 's rushing game was led by running backs Antowain Smith and Kevin Faulk , who carried the ball equally . Smith was the team 's leading rusher with 642 yards and 3 touchdowns , while Faulk rushed for 638 yards and caught 48 passes for 440 yards . New England 's defense was retooled before the 2003 season when the team signed veteran safety Rodney Harrison as a free agent and traded for defensive lineman Ted Washington . With these additions , the Patriots led the league in fewest passing yards allowed per attempt ( 5.64 ) , fewest passing touchdowns allowed ( 11 ) , and most interceptions ( 29 ) . They also ranked 4th in fewest rushing yards allowed ( 1,434 ) and 7th in fewest total yards ( 4,919 ) . Washington helped anchor New England 's defensive line , recording 32 tackles and 2 sacks . Pro Bowl defensive tackle Richard Seymour also contributed with 8 sacks . Behind them , the Patriots had 3 outstanding linebackers : Pro Bowl linebacker Willie McGinest ( 5.5 sacks , 2 fumble recoveries and 1 interception ) , Mike Vrabel ( 9.5 sacks , 1 fumble recovery , four forced fumbles , and 2 interceptions ) , and Tedy Bruschi ( 131 tackles , 2 sacks , 1 fumble recovery , 3 interceptions , and 2 touchdowns ) . Harrison became the veteran leader in the secondary , recording 92 tackles , 3 interceptions , and 3 sacks . Meanwhile , Pro Bowl cornerback Ty Law recorded 6 interceptions , cornerback ( and ex-Panthers player ) Tyrone Poole had 6 interceptions for 112 return yards and 1 touchdown , and rookie safety Eugene Wilson recorded 4 interceptions . Overall , the secondary combined for 19 interceptions . Common opponents of both teams ( edit ) The Patriots and Panthers both played against the AFC South and NFC East in the regular season . The Patriots lost to the Washington Redskins 20 -- 17 in Week Four but swept the rest of the NFC East and the entire AFC South ; the Patriots shut out Dallas in bitter cold and edged the Giants in the rain while hammering Philly following the infamously erroneous `` They hate their coach '' quote from Tom Jackson ; the Patriots also edged the Titans , Houston in overtime , and former division rival Indianapolis in shootouts while routing Jacksonville ( which , like Carolina , had entered the NFL in 1995 ) in the regular season , and then edged the Titans and hammered the Colts in the playoffs . The Panthers had less success , going 6 -- 4 against the two divisions , losing to the Titans and Houston while defeating Jacksonville and the Colts , and defeating Washington and the Giants while losing to Philadelphia and Dallas in the regular season , then routing the Cowboys and edging the Eagles in the playoffs .

The St. Louis Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles had better regular season records at 12 -- 4 , and thus under the playoff format , each would have to win two playoff games to reach the league championship game . Against Carolina 's first opponent , the Dallas Cowboys , Delhomme threw for 273 yards and a touchdown , Davis recorded 104 rushing yards and a touchdown , and kicker John Kasay made 5 field goals , en route to a thorough 29 -- 10 victory . The Panthers then eliminated the Rams on the road , 29 -- 23 in double overtime . St. Louis built a 6 -- 0 lead early in the second quarter , but Carolina took the lead after Muhammad 's fumble recovery in the end zone . Both teams spent the rest of the second and the third quarter exchanging field goals before Brad Hoover 's 7 - yard rushing touchdown gave the Panthers a 23 -- 12 fourth quarter lead . However , the Rams rallied back with a touchdown , a successful two - point conversion , and a field goal to send the game into overtime . Both teams missed field goals in the first overtime period , but Delhomme threw a 69 - yard touchdown pass to Smith on the first play of the second overtime period to win the game . The Panthers then went on the road again to eliminate the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game , 14 -- 3 . Philadelphia was coming off of a 20 -- 17 overtime win over the Green Bay Packers , that included quarterback Donovan McNabb 's 28 - yard pass to Freddie Mitchell on a famous play known as `` 4th and 26 '' . This was the third consecutive NFC Championship Game appearance for Philadelphia , and thus they were heavily favored to win . But Carolina 's defense only allowed a field goal and held McNabb to just 10 of 22 completions for 100 yards . Ricky Manning also intercepted McNabb 3 times . Although Carolina 's offense only scored 14 points , it was more than enough for the team to earn their first trip to the Super Bowl with a 14 -- 3 win . The Panthers became the first No. 3 seed to advance to the Super Bowl since the league expanded to a 12 - team playoff format in 1990 . In doing so , they were also the first division winner to advance to the league championship after playing three playoff games . All other instances up to this point where teams advanced to the Super Bowl after playing all three rounds of the playoffs were wild card teams in Super Bowls XV , XX , XXVII , XXXII , XXXIV , and XXXV . Prior to Super Bowl XVII , the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins both won three playoff games to reach the Super Bowl , but that came during the strike - shortened 1982 season when the regular season was reduced to nine games and the playoffs were expanded to 16 teams , with no teams receiving first - round byes . Since then , there have been six instances of teams advancing to the Super Bowl after playing three playoff games : the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL as the No. 6 seeded team , the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI as the No. 3 seed , the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII as the No. 5 seed , the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII as the No. 4 seed , the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV as the No. 6 seed , and again the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI as the No. 4 seed . The Colts , Cardinals , and the Giants in 2011 , like the Panthers , were division winners in those years ( Although in the Colts case , they played the No. 4 seeded New England Patriots in the AFC Championship that year , ensuring at least the second division winner to play three rounds to make it to the Super Bowl . ) , and all but the Cardinals went on to win it all . The Super Bowl would mark the third game ( out of four ) of the playoffs in which Carolina scored 29 points . Meanwhile , the Patriots first defeated the Tennessee Titans , 17 -- 14 , in one of the coldest games in NFL history , with temperatures reaching 4 ° F ( − 15 ° C ) . New England jumped to 14 -- 7 lead in the first half with a touchdown pass by Brady and a touchdown run from Smith . However , quarterback Steve McNair 's 11 - yard touchdown pass to receiver Derrick Mason tied the game in the third period . With 4 : 06 remaining in the game , Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri made a 46 - yard field goal to take the lead . New England 's defense later clinched a victory as they stopped the Titans from scoring on fourth down on their last drive of the game . New England then eliminated the Indianapolis Colts , 24 -- 14 , in the AFC Championship Game . The Colts entered the game leading the NFL in passing yards and ranked third in total offensive yards . With quarterback Peyton Manning , wide receiver Marvin Harrison , and running back Edgerrin James , the Colts had scored 79 points in their 2 playoff victories against the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs , including a 38 -- 31 victory over the Chiefs in the first punt-less game in NFL playoff history . However , New England 's defense dominated the Colts , only allowing 14 points , intercepting 4 passes from Manning ( 3 of them by Ty Law ) , and forcing a safety . Although New England 's offense only scored one touchdown , Vinatieri scored 5 field goals to make up the difference . Broadcasting and Entertainment ( edit ) The game was broadcast on television in the United States by CBS , with Greg Gumbel handling the play - by - play duties and color commentator Phil Simms in the broadcast booth . Armen Keteyian and Bonnie Bernstein roamed the sidelines . Jim Nantz hosted all the events with help from his fellow cast members from The NFL Today : Dan Marino , Deion Sanders , and Boomer Esiason . This would be the final Super Bowl game Greg Gumbel would call ; as before the 2004 season began , he and Nantz would switch roles ; though by the time CBS next aired a Super Bowl ; James Brown was brought in as host of The NFL Today while Gumbel had moved to a secondary play - by - play role . Westwood One carried the game nationwide over terrestrial radio with Marv Albert on play - by - play and Boomer Esiason on color commentary , with Jim Gray hosting the pregame and halftime shows . Locally , Gil Santos and Gino Cappelletti called the game for the Patriots and Bill Rosinski and Eugene Robinson served that position for the Panthers . After the postgame coverage was complete , CBS aired the season premiere for Survivor : All Stars . Pregame ceremonies ( edit ) Both teams passed on the opportunity for their starters to be introduced individually before the game , a move perpetuated by the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI . The game was held exactly one year , to the day , after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster , in Houston , the same city as the Johnson Space Center . Thus , the lost crew of the Columbia was honored in a pregame tribute by singer Josh Groban , performing `` You Raise Me Up '' . Also appearing on the field was the crew of STS - 114 , the `` Return to Flight '' Space Shuttle mission that eventually launched Space Shuttle Discovery on July 26 , 2005 . Houston - native Beyoncé then sang the national anthem . Aerosmith performed Baby , Please Do n't Go and Dream On as part of the pre-show ceremony . The coin toss ceremony featured former NFL players and Texas natives Earl Campbell , Ollie Matson , Don Maynard , Y.A. Tittle , Mike Singletary , Gene Upshaw . Tittle tossed the coin . The NFL logo was painted at midfield for the first time since Super Bowl XXX , and the Super Bowl XXXVIII logo was placed on the 25 - yard lines . From Super Bowls XXXI through XXXVII , the Super Bowl logo was painted at midfield , and the helmets of the teams painted at the 30 - yard lines . From Super Bowl VI through Super Bowl XXX , the NFL logo was painted on the 50 - yard line , except for Super Bowls XXV and XXIX . The Super Bowl XXV logo was painted at midfield and the NFL logo was painted at each 35 - yard line . In Super Bowl XXIX , the NFL 75th Anniversary logo was painted at midfield with the Super Bowl logo at each 30 - yard line . Halftime show ( edit ) Further information : Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime - show controversy Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake ( pictured ) became the center of controversy during the end of the halftime show The most controversial and widely discussed moment of Super Bowl XXXVIII came during halftime . The show was produced by Viacom 's MTV and CBS Sports , and was sponsored by America Online 's TopSpeed software for dial - up Internet service . The show was themed supposedly around MTV 's Choose or Lose vote campaign , however beyond some flag imagery , Jessica Simpson 's declaration that Houston should `` Choose to Party ! '' and a vague call to action for younger persons to vote in a celebrity montage the first minute of the program and an audio outro about choices , the theme was not called out for the remainder of the show . After a brief appearance by Simpson , the show began with a joint performance by marching bands the Spirit of Houston , from the University of Houston , and the `` Ocean of Soul '' of Texas Southern University . Next , Janet Jackson made her first appearance , singing `` All for You '' . Then , P. Diddy , Nelly , and Kid Rock appeared respectively , and performed a mixture of their hits . After Jackson 's performance of her song `` Rhythm Nation '' , Justin Timberlake appeared , and he and Jackson sang a duet of Timberlake 's song `` Rock Your Body '' . The performance featured many suggestive dance moves by both Timberlake and Jackson . As the song reached the final line , `` I 'm gon na have you naked by the end of this song , '' Timberlake pulled off a part of Jackson 's costume , revealing her outer right breast ( adorned with a large , sun - shaped nipple shield , a piece of jewelery worn to accentuate the appearance of a nipple piercing ) . CBS quickly cut to an aerial view of the stadium , however the action was too late to be effective . Many people considered this indecent exposure , and numerous viewers contacted the network to complain , saying it was inappropriate in the context of a football game . This was the most rewatched moment in TiVo history . Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show Spirit of Houston Ocean of Soul `` All for You '' `` Hey Mickey '' `` Hot in Herre '' `` Mo Money Mo Problems '' `` Bawitdaba '' `` Cowboy '' `` Rhythm Nation '' `` The Knowledge '' `` Rock Your Body '' Just before the start of the second half , a British streaker , Mark Roberts , ran onto the field disguised as a referee , undressed , and performed a dance wearing only a thong . He was tackled to the ground by Patriots linebacker Matt Chatham and arrested . It is customary for American television to avoid broadcasting such events , but it was later shown on Late Show with David Letterman . He received a $1,000 fine for trespassing . Game Summary ( edit ) This game is noted for its unusual scoring pattern between the teams . Nearly ninety percent of the first half and all of the third quarter were scoreless . Twenty - four points were scored in the last three minutes of the first half , and a record 37 points were scored in the fourth quarter . First quarter ( edit ) Most of the first half was a defensive struggle , with neither team able to score until late in the second quarter , despite several early scoring opportunities for New England . After Carolina was forced to punt on their opening drive , Patriots receiver Troy Brown gave his team great field position with a 28 - yard return to the Panthers 47 - yard line . The Patriots subsequently marched to the 9 - yard line , but Carolina kept them out of the end zone and Adam Vinatieri missed a 31 - yard field goal attempt . The Patriots forced Carolina to punt after 3 plays and again got the ball with great field position , receiving Todd Sauerbrun 's 40 - yard punt at the Panthers 49 - yard line . New England then drove to the 31 - yard line , but on third down , linebacker Will Witherspoon tackled Brown for a 10 - yard loss on an end - around play , pushing the Patriots out of field goal range . Second quarter ( edit ) Later on , New England drove 57 yards to the Panthers 18 - yard line with 6 minutes left in the second quarter , but once again they failed to score as Carolina kept them out of the end zone and Vinatieri 's 36 - yard field goal attempt was blocked by Panthers defender Shane Burton . Meanwhile , the Carolina offense was stymied by the New England defense , with quarterback Jake Delhomme completing just one out of his first nine passes , sacked three times , and fumbling once . That fumble occurred 3 plays after Vinatieri 's second missed field goal ; Delhomme lost the ball while being sacked by linebacker Mike Vrabel , and Patriots defensive tackle Richard Seymour recovered the ball at the Panthers 20 - yard line ; by this point of the game the Panthers had suffered a net loss of nine yards on twenty offensive snaps . Two plays later , New England faced a third down and 7 , but quarterback Tom Brady scrambled 12 yards to the 5 - yard line for a first down . Then wide receiver Deion Branch caught a 5 - yard touchdown pass from Brady on the next play . The play was a play - action fake to Antowain Smith . Carolina 's Dan Morgan bit on the route , causing the touchdown . Branch 's touchdown came after 26 : 55 had elapsed in the game , setting the record for the longest amount of time a Super Bowl remained scoreless . The play also suddenly set off a scoring explosion from both teams for the remainder of the first half . The Panthers stormed down the field on their ensuing possession , driving 95 yards in 8 plays , and tying the game on a 39 - yard touchdown pass from Delhomme to wide receiver Steve Smith with just 1 : 07 left in the half . The Patriots immediately countered with a 6 - play , 78 - yard scoring drive of their own . Starting from their own 22 - yard line , Brady completed a 12 - yard pass to wide receiver David Givens . Then after throwing an incompletion , Brady completed a long pass to Branch , who caught it at the Panthers 24 - yard line in stride before being tackled at the 14 - yard line for a 52 - yard gain . Three plays later , Givens caught a 5 - yard touchdown from Brady to give New England a 14 -- 7 lead with only 18 seconds left in the half . The Patriots decided to squib kick the ensuing kickoff to prevent a long return , but their plan backfired as Carolina tight end Kris Mangum picked up the ball at his own 35 - yard line and returned it 12 yards to the 47 . The Patriots expected a pass play from the Panthers , but instead running back Stephen Davis ran for 21 yards on the next play to set up kicker John Kasay 's 50 - yard field goal as time expired in the half , cutting Carolina 's deficit to 14 -- 10 . Third quarter ( edit ) The third quarter was scoreless as each team exchanged punts twice . However , with 3 : 57 left in the period , the Patriots put together a 71 - yard , 8 - play scoring drive , featuring tight end Daniel Graham 's 33 - yard reception to advance to the Carolina 9 - yard line . Fourth quarter ( edit ) Running back Antowain Smith then capped off the drive with a 2 - yard touchdown run on the second play on the fourth quarter to increase their lead , 21 -- 10 . This was the start of another scoring explosion , one that became one of the biggest explosions in Super Bowl history , with both teams scoring a combined 37 points in the last 15 minutes , the most ever in a single quarter of a Super Bowl . Delhomme started out Carolina 's ensuing drive with a 13 - yard completion to wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad . After committing a false start penalty on the next play , Delhomme completed a pair of passes to Smith for gains of 18 and 22 yards . Running back DeShaun Foster then scored on a 33 - yard touchdown run , cutting the Panthers ' deficit to 21 -- 16 after Delhomme 's 2 - point conversion pass fell incomplete . The Patriots responded on their ensuing possession by driving all the way to Carolina 's 9 - yard line , but the drive ended when Panthers defensive back Reggie Howard intercepted a third down pass from Brady in the end zone . Then on 3rd down from his own 15 - yard line , Delhomme threw for the longest play from scrimmage in Super Bowl history , an 85 - yard touchdown completion to Muhammad . Carolina 's 2 - point conversion attempt failed again , but they took their first lead of the game , 22 -- 21 , with 6 : 53 remaining . It was the first time in Super Bowl history a team down 10 + points during the 4th quarter had come back to take the lead . Three other times teams have come back to tie the game ; the Tennessee Titans against the Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV , the Rams against the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI , and the Patriots against the Falcons in Super Bowl LI . However , New England retook the lead on their next drive , advancing 68 yards with the aid of a pair of completions from Brady to Givens for gains of 18 and 25 yards . Once again the Patriots were faced with third down and goal , but this time they scored with Brady 's 1 - yard pass to Vrabel , who had lined up in an eligible tight end position . Then on a two - point conversion attempt , running back Kevin Faulk took a direct snap and ran into the end zone to make the score 29 -- 22 . Despite amassing over 1,000 combined yards , Faulk 's two - point conversion constituted the only points he scored all season . The Panthers countered on their next possession . Foster started the drive with a 9 - yard run and a 7 - yard reception . After that , Delhomme completed a 19 - yard pass to Muhammad , followed by a 31 - yard completion to receiver Ricky Proehl . Then Proehl , who caught the fourth quarter game - tying touchdown pass against the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXVI two years earlier for the St. Louis Rams , finished the drive with a 12 - yard touchdown reception . Kasay 's ensuing extra point tied the game , 29 -- 29 , with 1 : 08 to play in regulation and it appeared that the game would be the first Super Bowl ever to go into overtime . However , Kasay kicked the ensuing kickoff out of bounds , giving New England the ball on their own 40 - yard line . Brady led the Patriots offense down the field with a 13 - yard pass to Brown on second down . An offensive pass interference penalty on Brown pushed New England back to their own 43 - yard line , but another 13 - yard reception to Brown and a 4 - yard pass to Graham brought up a critical 3rd down and 3 from the Carolina 40 - yard line . The Panthers defense could not prevent the Patriots from gaining the first down , as Brady completed a 17 - yard pass to Branch . On the next play , Vinatieri kicked a 41 - yard field goal to give New England the lead , 32 -- 29 , with four seconds left in the game . Carolina failed on their last chance , as Rod Smart went nowhere on the ensuing kickoff , and the Patriots had won their second Super Bowl in three years . This was the fourth Super Bowl to be decided on a field goal in the final seconds ( Super Bowl V was won on a last second kick by the Baltimore Colts ' Jim O'Brien to defeat the Dallas Cowboys , Super Bowl XXV had the Buffalo Bills ' Scott Norwood miss his field goal chance against the New York Giants , and in Super Bowl XXXVI Vinatieri made his to defeat the St. Louis Rams ) .

The two teams combined for 868 yards of total offense , the second - highest total in Super Bowl history . Both starting quarterbacks threw for at least 300 yards for only the second time in Super Bowl history , with Dan Marino and Joe Montana each passing for at least 300 yards in Super Bowl XIX . This was also only the second Super Bowl to feature one 100 - yard receiving performance on each team , with Deion Branch and Muhsin Muhammad each reaching 100 yards . Andre Reed and Michael Irvin first accomplished the feat in Super Bowl XXVII . The 37 total points scored in the 4th quarter were the most combined points in a 4th quarter in a Super Bowl and the most in any quarter by two teams . Washington 's 35 points in Super Bowl XXII was the previous high for most combined points in a single quarter in a Super Bowl . The fourth quarter was the second in Super Bowl history to have five touchdowns scored in a single quarter , the first being when the Redskins had five in Super Bowl XXII in the second quarter . It was also the first time in Super Bowl history that both teams would score at least two touchdowns in the same quarter . Delhomme finished the game with 16 completions out of 33 attempts for 323 yards , three touchdowns , and no interceptions for a passer rating of 113.6 . He was seen standing on the field during the Patriots ' post-game celebration ; he later commented : `` I wanted to catch up to the moment of what it feels like to be on the other side , to be on this side , the losing side . To let it sink in , to hurt , so when we start practice in the fall , the two - a-days and there are days during the season when I 'm tired and I want to go home , but I need to watch that extra film . I want to get back there , but I want to get on the other side of that field . They rope you off , the losing team basically . I just want to get on the other side of that rope . I just wanted to watch and let it sink in and hurt a little bit . When I have a tough day , I 'll just think about that feeling and it will make me dig down just a little deeper . '' Muhsin Muhammad caught four passes for 140 yards , an average of 35 yards per catch , and a touchdown . Steve Smith caught four passes for 80 yards and a touchdown . He also returned a punt for two yards , and returned a kickoff for 30 yards , giving him 112 total yards . Proehl caught four passes for 71 yards and a touchdown .

He has released five studio albums , several EPs and singles , as well as a few download - only releases , which include a live album ( a recording of his 2005 Bonnaroo performance ) . He occasionally tours with a full band . Beam was raised in South Carolina before moving to Virginia and then Florida to attend school . He now resides in Durham , North Carolina . The name Iron & Wine is taken from a dietary supplement named `` Beef , Iron & Wine '' that he found in a general store while shooting a film . Contents ( hide ) 1 Early life 2 Musical career 3 Personal life 4 Discography 4.1 Albums 4.2 EPs 4.3 Singles 4.4 Other contributions 5 References 6 External links Early life ( edit ) Beam was raised in Chapin , South Carolina , where his father worked in land management and his mother was a schoolteacher . When he was a child , his family took regular trips to the country , where his grandfather ran a farm . He attended Seven Oaks Elementary School , Chapin Middle School , and Chapin High School . While home from college , he was a waiter at California Dreaming restaurant in Columbia . Beam earned a bachelor 's degree in art from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond , Virginia . He specialized in painting before graduating from the Florida State University Film School with an MFA degree . Before the release of the first Iron & Wine album , Beam 's main source of income was as a professor of film and cinematography at the University of Miami and Miami International University of Art & Design . He had been writing songs for over seven years before a friend lent him a four - track recorder . He began making demos and gave one to his friend Michael Bridwell , brother of Band of Horses lead singer , Ben Bridwell . Michael handed it to Mike McGonigal , editor of Yeti magazine , who chose `` Dead Man 's Will '' , later released on In the Reins , for inclusion on one of his magazine 's compilation CDs . Beam later came to the attention of Sub Pop Records co-owner , Jonathan Poneman , who contacted Beam to propose a deal . Musical career ( edit ) Beam released his first Iron & Wine album , The Creek Drank the Cradle , on the Sub Pop label in 2002 . Beam wrote , performed , recorded and produced the album in his home studio . Featuring acoustic guitars , banjo , and slide guitar , the album 's music has been compared to that of Nick Drake , Simon and Garfunkel , Elliott Smith , Neil Young and John Fahey . Also in 2002 , Beam recorded a cover of The Postal Service 's then - unreleased song `` Such Great Heights '' . Rather than being included on an Iron & Wine release , the track was initially included as a b - side of the original version by The Postal Service . It was later included on the B - sides and rarities album , Around the Well . He then followed up on his debut album in 2003 with The Sea & The Rhythm , an EP containing other home - recorded tracks with a similar style to the songs on the debut . Beam 's second full - length album , Our Endless Numbered Days ( 2004 ) , was recorded in a professional studio with a significant increase in fidelity . Produced in Chicago by Brian Deck , the focus was still on acoustic material , but the inclusion of other band members gave rise to a slightly different sound . That same year , he recorded the song `` The Trapeze Swinger '' for the film In Good Company , and had his version of `` Such Great Heights '' featured in an advertisement for M&M 's and in the film and soundtrack for Garden State . This version was later used in a 2006 Ask.com advertisement , and eventually released as a single in 2006 backed with recordings of `` The Trapeze Swinger '' and `` Naked as We Came '' made for Radio Vienna . Sarah Beam , Samuel 's sister , at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland In February 2005 , he released an EP entitled Woman King , which expanded on the sounds of his previous LP with the addition of electric guitars . Each track features a spiritual female figure , and had subtle Biblical undertones . The EP In the Reins , a collaboration with the Arizona - based rock band Calexico , was released in September 2005 . Beam wrote all of the EP 's songs years earlier , but Calexico added their trademark fusion of southwestern rock , traditional Mexican music and jazz to the songs ' arrangements . Several tracks , most notably , `` Burn That Broken Bed '' , feature brass instruments , a first for Beam 's music . The third full - length Iron & Wine album , entitled The Shepherd 's Dog , was released September 25 , 2007 . This album was voted one of the ten best of 2007 by Paste magazine . Contributors included Joey Burns and Paul Niehaus of Calexico , as well as jazz musicians Matt Lux and Rob Burger . When asked to describe the album to The Independent , Beam remarked that `` it 's not a political propaganda record , but it 's definitely inspired by political confusion , because I was really taken aback when Bush got reelected . '' Beam has released most of his music on iTunes , including several exclusive EPs . The Iron & Wine iTunes Exclusive EP features unreleased studio recordings , including a Stereolab cover and two tracks which had previously only appeared on vinyl . The Live Session ( iTunes Exclusive ) features Beam and his sister , Sarah Beam , performing a number of tracks from his albums , as well as a cover of New Order 's `` Love Vigilantes '' . Sarah Beam has contributed backing vocals on many of Beam 's studio recordings . Beam 's music has appeared in television series such as Grey 's Anatomy , The L Word and House M.D. `` Flightless Bird , American Mouth '' was used in the film Twilight . The song was specifically chosen for the film 's prom scene by Kristen Stewart , the female lead , and appears on the film 's soundtrack . The B - sides and rarities album Around the Well was released in 2009 . Iron & Wine also contributed the song `` Stolen Houses ( Die ) '' to the AIDS benefit album Dark Was the Night produced by the Red Hot Organization . On November 26 , 2010 Iron & Wine released a special edition Record Store Day Black Friday 12 '' vinyl and CD single called , Walking Far From Home for independent record stores . Kiss Each Other Clean , Iron & Wine 's fourth full - length album , was released on January 25 , 2011 on Warner Bros. Records in North America and 4AD for the rest of the world . With this album , Beam blended his earlier styles with a stronger pop influence . Ghost on Ghost , Iron & Wine 's fifth studio album , was released in April 2013 on Nonesuch Records in North America and 4AD for the rest of the world . Ghost on Ghost marked a further exploration into the pop sounds of Kiss Each Other Clean while also exhibiting jazz and R&B influences , with jazz drummer Brian Blade contributing to the album . In January 2014 , recording during the polar vortex in Chicago , Beam and his regular collaborator Brian Deck co-produced eight of the ten songs on Chadwick Stokes ' 2015 album The Horse Comanche . Beam contributed the Iron & Wine band to the sessions and sang backing vocals . Iron & Wine released two albums in 2015 . Archive Series : Volume 1 , released in February , featured unreleased songs recorded during the same period as The Creek Drank the Cradle . Covers album , Sing Into My Mouth , recorded with Band of Horses singer Ben Bridwell , was released in July . Love Letter for Fire , an album of duets with American singer - songwriter Jesca Hoop , was released in 2016 on Sub Pop . Produced , recorded , and mixed by Tucker Martine , the album also featured contributions from Wilco 's Glenn Kotche , Rob Burger , Eyvind Kang , Sebastian Steinberg , and Edward Rankin - Parker . In August 2017 , Iron & Wine 's sixth studio album Beast Epic was released through Sub Pop Records . The record saw Beam strip back the production and array of instruments from previous records to return to more simple and melodic song structures . Personal life ( edit ) Beam , his wife Kim , and their five daughters live in Durham , North Carolina . He was raised in the Bible belt as a Christian , but is now an agnostic : `` That was a confusing time for me , but I do n't miss being misled . I 'm not an atheist . There 's an undeniable unseen world that some people call God and think they know more about than other people . I try not to get hung up on the names . '' In 2011 , a portrait of Beam was painted by British artist Joe Simpson . The painting was exhibited around the UK , including in a solo exhibition at The Royal Albert Hall .

5683639966309028645 | Le bonheur de vivre | Le bonheur de vivre - wikipedia Le bonheur de vivre Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Joy of life . Le bonheur de vivre Artist Henri Matisse Year Between October 1905 and March 1906 Medium Oil on canvas 176.5 cm × 240.7 cm ( 69.5 in × 94.75 in ) Location Barnes Foundation , Philadelphia , Pennsylvania Le bonheur de vivre ( The Joy of Life ) is a painting by Henri Matisse . Along with Picasso 's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon , Le bonheur de vivre is regarded as one of the pillars of early modernism . The monumental canvas was first exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants of 1906 , where its cadmium colors and spatial distortions caused a public expression of protest and outrage . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 Inspiration 3 Conservation 4 References 5 External links Description ( edit ) In the central background of the piece is a group of figures that is similar to the group depicted in his painting The Dance ( 1909 -- 10 ) . In the picture , there are several nude bodies of women and men in a landscape drenched with vivid color . Inspiration ( edit ) `` The work is known to have invigorated fellow artists , especially Pablo Picasso , who , in an effort to outdo Matisse in terms of shock value , immediately began work on his watershed Les Demoiselles D'Avignon '' , writes Martha Lucy , associate curator at the Barnes Foundation . James B. Cuno and Thomas Puttfarken suggest that the inspiration for the work was Agostino Carracci 's engraving of Reciproco Amore or Love in the Golden Age after the similarly named painting by the 16th - century Flemish painter Paolo Fiammingo . Based on the many similarities with the engraving , in particular its theme of pastoral fantasy and its composition with the circle of dancers in the background , Cuno came to the conclusion that Carracci 's engraving had a decisive influence on the final composition of Le Bonheur de Vivre . According to Hilton Kramer Le bonheur de vivre , owing to its long sequestration in the collection of the Barnes Foundation which never permitted its reproduction in color , is the least familiar of modern masterpieces . Yet this painting was Matisse 's own response to the hostility his work had met with in the Salon d'Automne of 1905 , a response that entrenched his art even more deeply in the esthetic principles that had governed his Fauvist paintings which had caused a furor and which did so on a far grander scale , too . '' ( The `` sequestration '' Kramer referred to relates to the very limited hours of the museum , when its collection was located in suburban Merion , Pennsylvania ; in 2012 , the collection was moved to a new , more accessible facility in downtown Philadelphia . ) Conservation ( edit ) Le bonheur de vivre features a large amount of cadmium sulfide - based yellow . Portions of the painting containing cadmium sulfide are turning white or brown , degrading the work . University of Delaware Prof. Robert L. Opila , in collaboration with Barbara Buckley , head of conservation at the Barnes , and Jennifer Mass , a senior scientist and head of the Scientific Research and Analysis Laboratory at Winterthur , studied the paint 's material microstructure in an attempt to determine why the cadmium sulfide is changing color . `` It is a very disheartening phenomenon , considering the painting 's position in history , '' says Opila , professor of materials science at UD . Preliminary tests carried out by UD doctoral student Jonathan Church at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility ( ESRF ) in Grenoble , France , show that carbon dioxide is reacting with the cadmium sulfide , causing the formation of cadmium carbonate , which is white . Also , the presence of chloride in the paint appears to be acting as a catalyst for the deterioration . Opila and his research team theorize that the binder , an oil similar to linseed oil , may be turning brown . `` The scientific studies being undertaken will contribute significantly to the preservation of the painting and to our understanding of the change that has taken place to the visual appearance of the painting , '' says Buckley .

It was originally released on May 19 , 2017 as the lead single from her debut studio album Camila , then titled The Hurting . The Healing . The Loving . Despite being generally well received from critics , it only managed to attain moderate chart success and thus , was omitted from the album . Its music video premiered the same date . The song was written by Cabello , Sia , and Benny Blanco . It is a mid-tempo tropical pop and dance track . It is her first release as a solo artist since her departure from the girl group Fifth Harmony . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background and release 2 Composition and lyrical interpretation 3 Critical reception 4 Music video 5 Live performances 6 Charts 6.1 Weekly charts 7 Certifications 8 Release history 9 References 10 External links Background and release ( edit ) Cabello previously collaborated with producers Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat on the latter 's song `` Love Incredible '' , recorded in May 2016 . Following Cabello 's departure from the girl group Fifth Harmony , and after years of writing in her downtime , she began writing songs in earnest for her debut . In November 2016 , during a writing session with Blanco , singer - songwriter Sia conceived the concept for a demo , and both composed the song . After Blanco offered her `` Crying in the Club '' , Cabello rewrote the song 's bridge and recorded the track . `` It had a message about healing through the power of music , '' she said later , `` That theme was a key part of what I wanted for my album . '' The song was released on May 19 , 2017 to digital music stores and streaming services , following several music collaborations by Cabello , including `` Bad Things '' with Machine Gun Kelly -- which reached the top 10 on several Billboard charts . `` Crying in the Club '' was serviced to US contemporary hit radio on May 23 , 2017 . Composition and lyrical interpretation ( edit ) Benny Blanco ( left ) and Sia ( right ) contributed to the songwriting . `` Crying in the Club '' is a mid-tempo pop and dance track featuring a `` subdued '' minor - key dance groove and dancehall - inspired beat . Some critics described it as a tropical track . Lyrically , the song contains themes of the healing powers of music and dancing your heartbreak away . The song samples Christina Aguilera 's `` Genie in a Bottle '' , written by David Frank , Steve Kipner and Pamela Sheyne . The song is written in the key of F ♯ minor , with Cabello 's vocals spanning from the low note of E3 to the high belted note of F ♯ 5 . Sia Furler performed backing vocals for the song . Critical reception ( edit ) Writing for Billboard , Joe Lynch opined the song `` demonstrates just enough vocal flair for the former Fifth Harmony star to escape the more generic tropes of top 40 , '' while in Rolling Stone , Ryan Reed noted Cabello `` finds emotional redemption '' in the song . Editors from Rap - Up wrote `` the song blends island flavors with intense pop sounds , making it a dance - ready soundtrack for optimism . '' Anna Gaca of Spin described the song as a `` dancehall - inspired beat that bears a passing resemblance to Sia 's ' Cheap Thrills ' . '' Idolator writer Mike Wass called the song a `` moody , mid-tempo bop '' , and opined , `` the 20 - year - old followed Sia 's demo a little too closely . She 's almost unrecognizable and that 's worrying for something trying to establish their independence . '' Music video ( edit ) Directed by Emil Nava , the song 's accompanying music video was released on May 19 , 2017 . The clip opens in black and white with Cabello standing against a brick wall , dancing through the fog and soaking in a tub as she performs the song `` I Have Questions '' , before transitioning into the song itself with the singer getting loose in a crowded club . The video has received positive reviews . Writing for Billboard , Gil Kaufman related the concept to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde . In Rolling Stone , Ryan Reed opined the video `` mirrors the song 's emotional journey . It opens with black - and - white shots of the singer crying and reclining in a bathtub before exploding with color in the nightclub . '' As of 3 December 2017 , the video has reached 116 million views on YouTube . Live performances ( edit ) Cabello performed the song live for the first time at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards on May 21 . The singer started her performance by singing `` I Have Questions '' before transitioning into `` Crying in the Club '' . Wearing sparkly gold attire , Cabello danced amid male backup dancers and drummers as fires burned behind them . The singer also performed the song on Britain 's Got Talent on May 31 , and at the 2017 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards on June 18 . Cabello delivered a `` stripped - back '' acoustic rendition on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on June 22 . Idolator 's Mike Wass considered it `` her best live performance yet . '' She also included the song as a part of her setlist as an opening act on tour with Bruno Mars .

"\"Crying in the Club\" is the debut solo single by Cuban-American singer and songwriter Camila Cabello. It was originally released on May 19, 2017 as the lead single from her debut studio album Camila, then titled The Hurting. The Healing. The Loving. Despite being generally well received from critics, it only managed to attain moderate chart success and thus, was omitted from the album.[1][2] Its music video premiered the same date. The song was written by Cabello, Sia, and Benny Blanco. It is a mid-tempo tropical pop and dance track. It is her first release as a solo artist since her departure from the girl group Fifth Harmony."

For other uses of the term , see The Kill ( disambiguation ) . `` The Kill '' Single by Thirty Seconds to Mars from the album A Beautiful Lie Released January 24 , 2006 ( 2006 - 01 - 24 ) Format Compact Disc , digital download Genre Alternative rock , post-hardcore Length 3 : 47 Label Immortal Virgin Songwriter ( s ) Jared Leto Producer ( s ) Josh Abraham Thirty Seconds to Mars Thirty Seconds to Mars singles chronology `` Attack '' ( 2005 ) `` The Kill '' ( 2006 ) `` From Yesterday '' ( 2006 ) `` Attack '' ( 2005 ) `` The Kill '' ( 2006 ) `` From Yesterday '' ( 2006 ) `` The Kill ( Rebirth ) '' Artwork for the UK version of the single . Audio sample file help Music video `` The Kill '' on YouTube `` The Kill '' ( written `` The Kill ( Bury Me ) '' on the single and music video ) is a song by American band Thirty Seconds to Mars , the song was released as the second single from their second album , A Beautiful Lie . The cover art of the single depicts a Venus flytrap . Contents ( hide ) 1 Overview 2 Music video 2.1 Plot 3 Track listing 4 Personnel 5 Charts 6 Accolades 7 Awards 8 In popular culture 9 Covers 10 References 11 External links Overview ( edit ) Jared Leto described the meaning of the song as , `` It 's really about a relationship with yourself . It 's about confronting your fear and confronting the truth about who you are . '' He has also said it is about `` confrontation as a crossroads '' -- coming face - to - face with who you really are . In September 2007 , `` The Kill '' was re-released again in the UK . It was also available as a Compact Disc with a A Beautiful Lie poster and two stickers , and a special limited edition 7 '' vinyl version . The song is played in 6 / 8 time . Two alternate versions of the songs exist : the `` Rebirth '' version , which adds in orchestral accompaniment and has no screaming , and an acoustic version featuring Brazilian singer Pitty that was only released in Brazil . On May 2 , 2010 , the band performed the song live with Chino Moreno from Deftones . Music video ( edit ) The video is a homage to the Stanley Kubrick 's 1980 film The Shining based on the Stephen King novel . Several scenes are based on the film , such as when Shannon Leto enters Room 6277 and encounters the woman in the bathroom and another when Matt Wachter is served drinks at the bar by a doppelgänger apparition . The video culminates in an elegant ballroom in the same manner as the photo at the end of the film . At 2 : 07 , the papers that Jared Leto has been typing are briefly made visible and the words on them appear to read , over and over , `` This is who I really am . '' This is another allusion to The Shining , in which Jack Torrance types up pages and pages of the same line , `` All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy '' , over and over in the same sense . The scene with a man in a bear costume , in a bedroom , is also from The Shining . As for the cinematography , Jared Leto adopted the split screen visual from working with Darren Aronofsky in Requiem for a Dream . The haunted room number is changed from 237 to 6277 in the video because it spells out `` Mars '' on a telephone keypad . The number also makes an appearance in the video for `` From Yesterday '' and `` Up in the Air . '' Scenes from the music video - top : Jared Leto confronting himself . Bottom : The band perform the song to the 1920s - themed audience . The music video was selected as the greatest rock video in the Kerrang Rock 100 on 27 June 2009 . When the press release info for `` The Kill '' video was released , Jared stated that the video was directed by an albino Danish man named Bartholomew Cubbins . This was intended as a joke as Cubbins is the main character of the Dr. Seuss book The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins , however airings of the video on music channels still list Cubbins as the director . Bartholomew Cubbins has remained Jared Leto 's alias for directing Thirty Seconds to Mars ' videos ( with the exception of the video for A Beautiful Lie ) . The hotel scenes in the video were filmed at The Carlu in Toronto , Ontario . Plot ( edit ) The music video features the band exploring a hotel which they are care - taking . At the start , Jared Leto states that they have the hotel all to themselves for three days ; although , later on , after the first chorus , it comes on the screen saying `` One Week Later '' , before showing the pages saying `` This is who I really am '' . In the extended version of the video , the other band members complain that they have been at the hotel longer than expected and have canceled shows because of Jared 's peculiar behavior , explaining the discrepancy . A letter from the hotel owner tells the band to `` Enjoy your stay and please stay out of Room 6277 . '' Shannon Leto does not heed the warning and opens Room 6277 . Following the opening of the door , each band member begins to experience the effects of the room opening throughout the hotel . Each member experiences the effects differently , but one thing remains constant for each individual -- they encounter a version of themselves dressed in a 1920s style tuxedo with tails . Several other apparitions then take up residence in the hotel , dispelling the promise Jared made in the beginning of the video that the band will have the hotel all to themselves and that `` there 's not gon na be a single fucking soul '' . The video reaches its climax when Tomo encounters himself in bed with a man in a bear suit ( another Shining reference ) , and immediately the band dressed in tuxedos are shown performing the song in the hotel 's ballroom in front of a crowd of twins , dressed like the roaring 1920 's , dancing with themselves . The theme of duplicity resonates throughout the video . Track listing ( edit ) Standard `` The Kill ( Bury Me ) '' -- 3 : 52 `` Attack '' ( live at CBGB , July 2006 ) -- 4 : 06 `` The Kill ( Bury Me ) '' ( acoustic , live on VH1 ) -- 3 : 48 UK release `` The Kill ( Rebirth ) '' -- 3 : 52 `` The Kill ( Rebirth ) '' ( acoustic , live on VH1 ) -- 3 : 48 UK re-release `` The Kill ( Rebirth ) '' -- 3 : 52 `` Was It a Dream ?

Their next single , `` From Yesterday '' , would be their first to reach the top , but spent less time on the charts than `` The Kill '' . The song crossed to the Billboard Hot 100 , where it peaked at number 65 .

The song is featured in the January 21 , 2007 Without a Trace episode , `` Primed '' . During the 2007 MTV Movie Awards , `` The Kill '' was played as the background music of the nomination screen for the film 300 , which was nominated for the Best Movie award . The song was featured in the October 25 , 2007 episode of the television show Hollyoaks . The song is available as downloadable content for Rock Band . The song is featured in the video games Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero Live . The song is featured in the video game Rock Band Track Pack Volume 1 for the PlayStation 2 and Wii . The song is used by the International Luge Federation for their TV live introductions . Covers ( edit ) The American Christian metal band Blood of the Martyrs recorded a cover of the song and released it as a single on November 23 , 2011 . The cover was a departure from the band 's deathcore style , instead opting for a metalcore sound with clean vocals .

He was perhaps best known for breaking Major League Baseball 's color barrier by signing African American player Jackie Robinson , for drafting the first Hispanic superstar , Roberto Clemente , for creating the framework for the modern minor league farm system , for encouraging the Major Leagues to add new teams through his involvement in the proposed Continental League , and for introducing the batting helmet . He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1967 . Rickey played in MLB for the St. Louis Browns and New York Highlanders from 1905 through 1907 . After struggling as a player , Rickey returned to college , where he learned about administration from Philip Bartelme . Returning to MLB in 1913 , Rickey embarked on a successful managing and executive career with the St. Louis Browns , the St. Louis Cardinals , Brooklyn Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates . The Cardinals elected him to their team Hall of Fame in 2014 . Rickey also had a career in the sport of American football , as a player for the professional Shelby Blues and as a coach at Ohio Wesleyan University and Allegheny College . His many achievements and deep Christian faith earned him the nickname `` the Mahātmā .

Rickey was a relative of Beth Rickey , a Louisiana political activist . He graduated from Valley High School in Lucasville , Ohio , in 1899 , and he was a catcher on the baseball team at Ohio Wesleyan University , where he obtained his B.A. Rickey was a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity . Rickey was a Master Mason in Tuscan Lodge # 240 in Saint Louis . After arriving in Brooklyn , Rickey joined Montauk Masonic Lodge # 286 in Brooklyn . Stricken with tuberculosis , he took the `` cure '' in Saranac Lake , New York in 1908 and 1909 at the Trudeau Sanatorium . Later , he moved into the Jacob Schiff cottage . Career ( edit ) Professional playing career ( edit ) Before his front office days , Rickey played both football and baseball professionally . He played in both baseball 's minor and major leagues . Football ( edit ) In 1902 , Rickey played professional football for the Shelby Blues of the `` Ohio League '' , the direct predecessor to the modern National Football League ( NFL . ) Rickey often played for pay with Shelby while he was attending Ohio Wesleyan . During his time with Shelby , Rickey became friends with his teammate Charles Follis , who was the first black professional football player . He also played against him on October 17 , 1903 , when Follis ran for a 70 - yard touchdown against the Ohio Wesleyan football team . After that game Rickey praised Follis , calling him `` a wonder . '' It is also possible that Follis ' poise and class under the pressures of such racial tension , as well as his exceptional play in spite of it , could have inspired Rickey to sign Jackie Robinson decades later . Baseball ( edit ) In 1903 , Rickey signed a contract with Terre Haute , Indiana of the Class B Central League , making his professional debut on June 20 . Rickey was assigned to Le Mars , Iowa of the Class D Iowa -- South Dakota League . During this period , Rickey also spent two seasons -- 1904 and 1905 -- coaching baseball , basketball and football and teaching at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania where he also served as Athletic Director . Rickey debuted in the major leagues , with the St. Louis Browns in 1905 . Sold to the New York Highlanders in 1907 , Rickey could neither hit nor field while with the club , and his batting average dropped below . 200 . One opposing team stole 13 bases in one game while Rickey was behind the plate , setting a record which still stands a century later . Rickey also injured his throwing arm and retired as a player after just one year . Return to College ( edit ) Rickey attended the University of Michigan , where he received his J.D. While at Michigan , Rickey applied for the job as Michigan 's baseball coach . Rickey asked every alumnus he had ever met to write letters to Philip Bartelme , the school 's athletic director , on his behalf . Bartelme recalled , `` Day after day those letters came in . '' Bartelme was reportedly impressed with Rickey 's passion for baseball and his idealism about the proper role of athletics on a college campus . Bartelme convinced the dean of the law school that Rickey could handle his law studies while serving as the school 's baseball coach . Bartelme reportedly called Rickey into his office to tell him he had the job if only `` to put a stop to those damn letters that come in every day . '' The hiring also marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship and business relationship between Rickey and Bartelme . Bartelme and Rickey worked together for most of the next 35 years , and in 1944 a California newspaper noted : `` He and Rickey have had a close association in baseball ever since Bartelme was head of the athletic department of the University of Michigan where Rickey took to baseball just as a means to build up his failing health . '' During his four years as head baseball coach from 1910 - 1913 his record was 68 - 32 - 4 . Return to professional baseball ( edit ) Rickey batting for the Browns in 1906 . Rickey returned to the big leagues in 1913 , as a front office executive with the Browns . He was responsible for signing young George Sisler . Rickey became the team 's manager for the final 12 games of the season , and managed the team for two more full seasons . But the Browns finished under . 500 both years . World War I ( 1917 -- 19 ) ( edit ) Rickey served as an officer in the U.S. Army in France during World War I. He commanded a chemical training unit that included Ty Cobb and Christy Mathewson . Rickey served in the 1st Gas Regiment during the war , and spent over four months as a member of the Chemical Warfare Service . St. Louis Cardinals ( 1919 -- 42 ) ( edit ) Further information : History of the St. Louis Cardinals ( 1920 -- 52 ) He then returned to St. Louis in 1919 , but clashed with new Browns owner Phil Ball and jumped to the crosstown rivals Cardinals , to become team president and manager . In 1920 , Rickey gave up the team presidency to the Cards ' new majority owner , Sam Breadon . The Cardinals wore uniforms for the first time that featured the two familiar cardinal birds perched on a baseball bat over the name `` Cardinals '' with the letter `` C '' of the word hooked over the bat in 1922 . The concept of this pattern originated in a Presbyterian church in Ferguson , Missouri , at which Rickey was speaking . He noticed a colorful cardboard arrangement featuring two cardinal birds perched on a branch on a table . The arrangement 's designer was a woman named Allie May Schmidt . Schmidt 's father , a graphic designer , assisted Rickey in creating the logo that is part of a familiar staple on Cardinals uniforms . Under Rickey 's leadership as on - the - field manager for six relatively mediocre years , the Cardinals posted winning records from 1921 to 1923 . Breadon fired him early in the 1925 season . However , he could not deny Rickey 's acumen for player development , and offered to let him stay to run the front office . An embittered Rickey stated , `` You ca n't do this to me , Sam . You are ruining me . '' `` No '' , Breadon responded . `` I am doing you the greatest favor one man has ever done to another . '' Rickey had wisely invested in several minor league baseball clubs , using them to develop future talent and supplement the Cardinals major league roster . At 43 years of age upon his firing , he had been a player , manager and executive in the Major Leagues . However , there had been little indication to this point that he would ever belong in the Baseball Hall of Fame . Although he was not the first executive titled as a general manager in Major League Baseball history -- his actual title was business manager -- through his activities , including inventing and building the farm system , Rickey came to embody the position of the baseball operations executive who mastered scouting , player acquisition and development and business affairs , which is the definition of the modern GM . Second baseman Rogers Hornsby , winner of two Major League Baseball Triple Crowns , replaced Rickey to become a player - manager , and in 1926 , his first full year as manager , Hornsby then led the Cardinals to their first World Series championship . Fruition of the farm system ( edit ) Rickey with the Cardinals By 1930 , Rickey 's Cardinals , known as the `` Gashouse Gang '' , were the class of the National League . They won 101 games in 1931 and won the World Series in seven games . The star of the 1931 World Series was rookie Pepper Martin , one of the first Cardinal stars that came from Branch 's minor league system . Soon , other minor league graduates joined the team , among them future hall of famers Dizzy Dean and Joe Medwick , nicknamed `` Ducky '' , and Dean 's brother Paul `` Daffy '' Dean . The Deans and Medwick were integral parts of the 1934 Cardinals , who won the franchise 's third World Series title . Kenesaw Mountain Landis , the Commissioner of Baseball , was concerned that Rickey 's minor league system was going to ruin baseball by destroying existing minor league teams , and he twice released over 70 Cardinal minor leaguers . Despite Landis ' efforts , Rickey 's minor league system stayed in existence , and similar systems were adopted by every major league team within a few years . Arguably , the farm system saved the minor leagues , by keeping them necessary after the television age began and minor league attendance figures declined . Rickey continued to develop the Cardinals up until the early 1940s . In his final year at St. Louis , 1942 , the Cardinals had their best season in franchise history , winning 106 games and the World Series title . The team was led by a new crop of players developed by the Cardinals , two of whom , Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial , became Hall of Famers ; and several others , among them future MVP Marty Marion , who were among the best at their position during their eras . Even their manager Billy Southworth was a product of their farm system . Brooklyn Dodgers ( 1942 -- 50 ) ( edit ) Rickey was a good friend of Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Larry MacPhail , himself a sound baseball man . MacPhail enlisted in the army to serve in World War II after the 1942 season , and the Dodgers hired Branch Rickey to replace him as President and GM , ending a tenure of over two decades with the Cardinals . Further innovations ( edit ) Rickey continued to innovate in his time with Brooklyn . He was responsible for the first full - time spring training facility , in Vero Beach , Florida , and encouraged the use of now - commonplace tools such as the batting cage , pitching machines , and batting helmets . He also pioneered the use of statistical analysis in baseball ( what is now known as sabermetrics ) , when he hired statistician Allan Roth as a full - time analyst for the Dodgers in 1947 . After viewing Roth 's evidence , Rickey promoted the idea that on - base percentage was a more important hitting statistic than batting average . While working under Rickey , Roth was also the first person to provide statistical evidence that platoon effects were real and quantifiable . Breaking the color barrier ( edit ) Rickey 's most memorable act with the Dodgers involved signing Jackie Robinson , thus breaking baseball 's color barrier , which had been an unwritten rule since the 1880s . This policy had continued under a succession of baseball leaders , including Landis , who was openly opposed to integrating Major League Baseball for what he regarded as legitimate reasons . Landis died in 1944 , but Rickey had already set the process in motion , having sought ( and gained ) approval from the Dodgers Board of Directors in 1943 to begin the search for `` the right man . '' On August 28 , 1945 , Rickey signed Robinson to a minor league contract . Robinson had been playing in the Negro leagues for the Kansas City Monarchs . On October 23 , 1945 , it was announced that Robinson would join the Montreal Royals , the Dodgers ' International League affiliate , for the 1946 season . He would end up as the league 's batting champion , and led the Royals to a dominant league championship . There was no statute officially banning blacks from baseball , only a universally recognized unwritten rule which no club owner was prepared to break that was perpetuated by culturally entrenched racism and a desire by club owners to be perceived as representing the values and beliefs of everyday American white men . The service of black Americans in the Second World War , and the celebrated pre-war achievements of black athletes in American sports , such as Joe Louis in boxing and Jesse Owens in track , helped pave the way for the cultural shift necessary to break the barrier . Rickey knew that Robinson would face racism and discrimination . Rickey made it clear in their momentous first meeting that he anticipated wide - scale resistance both inside and outside baseball to opening its doors to Negroes . As predicted by Rickey , right from the start Robinson faced obstacles among his teammates and other teams ' players . No matter how harsh the white people were towards Robinson , he could not retaliate . Robinson had agreed with Rickey not to lose his temper and jeopardize the chances of all the blacks who would follow him if he could help break down the barriers . Usually placing fourth in team stats he still made history ending up in Baseball 's Hall of Fame . Red Barber recounted in Ken Burns 's documentary Baseball that Rickey 's determination to desegregate Major League Baseball was born out of a combination of idealism and astute business sense . The idealism was at least partially rooted in an incident involving a team for which Rickey worked early on . While managing at Ohio Wesleyan University , a black player , Charles Thomas , was extremely upset at being refused accommodation , because of his race , at the hotel where the team stayed . Though an infuriated Rickey managed to get him into the hotel for the night , he never forgot the incident and later said , `` I may not be able to do something about racism in every field , but I can sure do something about it in baseball . '' The business element was based on the fact that the Negro Leagues had numerous star athletes , and logically , the first Major League team to hire them would get first pick of the players at an attractive price . At the time , Mexican brewery czar Jorge Pasquel was raiding America for black talent ( e.g. , Satchel Paige ) , as well as disgruntled white players , for the Mexican League with the idea of creating an integrated league that could compete on a talent level with the U.S. major leagues . However idealistic , Rickey did not compensate Monarchs ownership for the rights to obtain Robinson , nor did he pay for rights to Don Newcombe , who would also join the Dodgers from a Negro leagues club . Rickey also attempted to sign Monte Irvin but Newark Eagles business owner Effa Manley refused to allow Irvin to leave her club without compensation . When she threatened to sue him in court , Rickey stopped the pursuit of Irvin , who would later sign with the New York Giants . Amid much fanfare , Jackie debuted , and turned out to be a success . Robinson was baseball 's first rookie of the year , and while he was often jeered by opposing baseball players , managers , and fans , he became extremely popular with the American public . His success became the crowning achievement of Rickey 's illustrious career . His Dodgers would make the World Series that year . Although they lost in seven games to the New York Yankees , Rickey 's vision and action had set the stage for the Dodgers to be contenders for decades to come . And it opened the door for other leaders like Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians , who integrated the American League in 1947 , as well . Later career with Dodgers ( edit ) In 1950 , there were four owners of the Dodgers , each with one quarter of the franchise . When one of the four ( John L. Smith ) died , Walter O'Malley took control of that quarter . Also in 1950 , Branch Rickey 's contract as Dodger president expired , and Walter O'Malley decided that were Rickey to retain the job , almost all of Rickey 's power would be gone ; for example , he would no longer take a percentage of every franchise sale ; Rickey declined a new contract as President . Then , in order to be a majority owner , O'Malley offered to buy Rickey 's portion . Seeing no reason to hold on to the club , Rickey decided to comply . However , in a final act of retaliation against O'Malley , Rickey instead offered the club percentage to a friend for one million dollars . His chances at complete franchise control at risk , O'Malley was forced to offer more money , and Rickey finally sold his portion for $1,050,000 . Pirates ( edit ) After leaving the Dodgers , Rickey was offered the position of general manager for the Pittsburgh Pirates . During the 1953 season , the Pirates became the first team to permanently adopt batting helmets on both offense and defense . These helmets resembled a primitive fiberglass `` miner 's cap '' . This was the mandate of Rickey , who also owned stock in the company producing the helmets . Under Rickey 's orders , all Pirate players had to wear the helmets both at bat and in the field . The helmets became a permanent feature for all Pirate hitters , but within a few weeks the team began to abandon their use of helmets on defense , partly because of their awkwardly heavy feel . Once the Pirates discarded the helmets on defense , the trend disappeared from the game . After presiding over a last place season with the Pirates , Branch Rickey proposed cutting the pay of power superstar Ralph Kiner . When Kiner objected , Rickey famously quipped , `` Son , we could have finished last without you ! '' Health problems forced Branch Rickey to retire in 1955 ; however , his contributions would help lead to a World Championship for Pittsburgh in 1960 . This includes the drafting of Roberto Clemente . Return to Cardinals ( edit ) On October 29 , 1962 , Rickey returned to the Cardinals exactly 20 years to the day he left to become general consultant on production and development of Cardinal players . He had previously worked as a field manager , business manager , and vice president for the Cardinals from 1917 until 1942 . He returned to be closer to home after suffering a heart attack in Canada a year earlier and after the death of his son Branch Rickey , Jr . Rickey near the stadium in Cincinnati Death ( edit ) A public speaker in his later years , on November 13 , 1965 , Rickey collapsed in the middle of a speech in Columbia , Missouri , as he was being elected to the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame . He had told a story of physical courage and was about to relate an illustration from the Holy Bible . `` Now I 'm going to tell you a story from the Bible about spiritual courage , '' he said . Rickey murmured he could not continue , collapsed and never spoke again . He faltered , fell back into his seat and slipped onto the floor . He never regained consciousness . His brain was damaged when his breathing stopped momentarily , though his heart picked up its rhythm again . Through the next 26 days , hospitalized in a coma , there was little change . On December 9 , at about 10 p.m. he died of heart failure at Boone County Memorial Hospital in Columbia , Missouri , 11 days before his 84th birthday . Branch Rickey was interred at Rush Township Burial Park in Rushtown , Ohio , near where his parents , his widow Jane ( who died in 1971 ) , and three of his children ( including his son , Branch Rickey Jr. , who died from complications of diabetes in 1961 ) also rest . Rickey 's grave overlooks the Scioto Valley , about three miles from his boyhood home in Stockdale , Ohio . Honors and legacy ( edit ) In addition to Rickey 's election to the Baseball Hall of Fame as a contributor in 1967 , in 1997 he was inducted into the St. Louis Walk of Fame , in 2009 he was elected to the College Baseball Hall of Fame . In January 2014 , the Cardinals announced Rickey among 22 former players and personnel to be inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum for the inaugural class of 2014 . A ballpark in Portsmouth , Ohio , once used by the Portsmouth Explorers , a charter member of the Frontier League before the club folded in 1996 , is named in Rickey 's honor . The Branch Rickey Arena at Ohio Wesleyan University is also named in his honor . A section of State Highway 23 in Ohio , running north from the Franklin County border to the city of Delaware , has been named the Branch Rickey Memorial Highway . In 1992 , Rotary International of Denver , Colorado , created the Branch Rickey Award , which is given annually to a Major League Baseball player in recognition of exceptional community service . Outside of Coors Field in Denver is a monument to Rickey by the sculptor George Lundeen , dedicated in 2005 , with this simple inscription : It is not the honor that you take with you but the heritage you leave behind . Another quotation attributed to Rickey is : Luck is the residue of design . His descendants also became involved in baseball : his son , Branch Jr. , who died four years before his father , and Branch Rickey III , a president of the Pacific Coast League . In popular Culture ( edit ) In the 1950 movie The Jackie Robinson Story , he is portrayed by Minor Watson . In the 1996 HBO movie Soul of the Game Rickey is played by Edward Herrmann . In the 2013 film 42 , Rickey is played by Harrison Ford . Rickey 's great - granddaughter , actress Kelley Jakle , also appears in the film . Rickey is featured in the 2013 book Dissident Gardens by Jonathan Lethem .

"Wesley Branch Rickey (December 20, 1881 – December 9, 1965) was an American sports executive. He was perhaps best known for breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier by signing African American player Jackie Robinson, for drafting the first Hispanic superstar, Roberto Clemente, for creating the framework for the modern minor league farm system, for encouraging the Major Leagues to add new teams through his involvement in the proposed Continental League, and for introducing the batting helmet. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1967."

For other uses , see ABO ( disambiguation ) . `` H substance '' redirects here . For use in inflammation , see histamine . For hydrogen atom , see hydrogen . ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells and IgM antibodies present in the serum The ABO blood group system is used to denote the presence of one , both , or neither of the A and B antigens on erythrocytes . In human blood transfusions it is the most important of the 36 different blood type ( or group ) classification systems currently recognized . A very rare ( in modern medicine ) mismatch in this , or any other serotype , can cause a serious , potentially fatal , adverse reaction after a transfusion , or a contra - indicated immune response to an organ transplant . The associated anti-A and anti-B antibodies are usually IgM antibodies , which are produced in the first years of life by sensitization to environmental substances , such as food , bacteria , and viruses . The ABO blood types were discovered by Karl Landsteiner in 1901 , for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930 . ABO blood types are also present in some other animals such as rodents and apes , including chimpanzees , bonobos , and gorillas .

The ABO blood types were first discovered by an Austrian Physician Karl Landsteiner working at the Pathological - Anatomical Institute of the University of Vienna ( now Medical University of Vienna ) . In 1900 , he found that blood sera from different persons would clump together ( agglutinate ) when mixed in test tubes , and not only that some human blood also agglutinated with animal blood . He wrote a two - sentence footnote : The serum of healthy human beings not only agglutinates animal red cells , but also often those of human origin , from other individuals . It remains to be seen whether this appearance is related to inborn differences between individuals or it is the result of some damage of bacterial kind . This was the first evidence that blood variation exists in humans -- it was believed that all humans have similar blood . The next year , in 1901 , he made a definitive observation that blood serum of an individual would agglutinate with only those of certain individuals . Based on this he classified human bloods into three groups , namely group A , group B , and group C. He defined that group A blood agglutinates with group B , but never with its own type . Similarly , group B blood agglutinates with group A. Group C blood is different in that it agglutinates with both A and B . This was the discovery of blood groups for which Landsteiner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930 . In his paper , he called the specific blood group interactions as isoagglutination , and also introduced the concept of agglutinins ( antibodies ) , which is the actual basis of antigen - antibody reaction in ABO system . He asserted : ( It ) may be said that there exist at least two different types of agglutinins , one in A , another one in B , and both together in C. The red blood cells are inert to the agglutinins which are present in the same serum . Thus , he discovered two antigens ( agglutinogens A and B) and two antibodies ( agglutinins - anti-A and anti-B ) . His third group ( C ) indicated absence of both A and B antigens , but contains anti-A and anti-B . The following year , his students Adriano Sturli and Alfred von Decastello discovered the fourth type ( but not naming it , and simply referred to it as `` no particular type '' ) . Ukraine marine uniform imprint , showing the wearer 's blood type as `` B ( III ) Rh + '' . In 1910 , Ludwik Hirszfeld and Emil Freiherr von Dungern introduced the term 0 ( null ) for the group Landsteiner designated as C , and AB for the type discovered by Sturli and von Decastello . They were also the first to explain the genetic inheritance of the blood groups . ) Jan Janský , who invented type I , II , III , IV system . Czech serologist Jan Janský independently introduced blood type classification in 1907 in a local journal . He used the Roman numerical I , II , III , and IV ( corresponding to modern O , A , B , and AB ) . Unbeknown to Janský , an American physician William L. Moss devised a slightly different classification using the same numerical ; his I , II , III , and IV corresponding to modern AB , A , B , and O. These two systems created confusion and potential danger in medical practice . Moss 's system was adopted in Britain , France , and US , while Janský 's was preferred in most European countries and some parts of US . To resolve the chaos , the American Association of Immunologists , the Society of American Bacteriologists , and the Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists made a joint recommendation in 1921 that the Jansky classification be adopted based on priority . But it was not followed particularly where Moss 's system had been used . In 1927 , Landsteiner , who had moved to the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York , and as a member of a committee of the National Research Council concerned with blood grouping suggested to substitute Janský 's and Moss 's systems with the letters 0 , A , B , and AB . ( There was another confusion on the use of figure 0 for German null as introduced by Hirszfeld and von Dungern , because others used the letter O for ohne , meaning without or zero ; Landsteiner chose the latter . ) This classification was adopted by the National Research Council and became variously known as the National Research Council classification , the International classification , and most popularly the `` new '' Landsteiner classification . The new system was gradually accepted and by the early 1950s , it was universally followed . The first practical use of blood typing in transfusion was by an American physician Reuben Ottenberg in 1907 . And the large - scale application started during the First World War ( 1914 - 1915 ) when citric acid was developed as blood clot prevention . Felix Bernstein demonstrated the correct blood group inheritance pattern of multiple alleles at one locus in 1924 . Watkins and Morgan , in England , discovered that the ABO epitopes were conferred by sugars , to be specific , N - acetylgalactosamine for the A-type and galactose for the B - type . After much published literature claiming that the ABH substances were all attached to glycosphingolipids , Finne et al. ( 1978 ) found that the human erythrocyte glycoproteins contain polylactosamine chains that contains ABH substances attached and represent the majority of the antigens . The main glycoproteins carrying the ABH antigens were identified to be the Band 3 and Band 4.5 proteins and glycophorin . Later , Yamamoto 's group showed the precise glycosyl transferase set that confers the A , B and O epitopes . Diagram showing the carbohydrate chains that determine the ABO blood group Student blood test . Three drops of blood are mixed with anti-B ( left ) and anti-A ( right ) serum . Agglutination on the right side indicates blood type A . There are three basic variants of immunoglobulin antigens in humans that share a very similar chemical structure but are distinctly different . Red circles show where there are differences in chemical structure in the antigen - binding site ( sometimes called the antibody - combining site ) of human immunoglobulin . Notice the O - type antigen does not have a binding site . Alteration of ABO antigens for transfusion ( edit ) In April 2007 , an international team of researchers announced in the journal Nature Biotechnology an inexpensive and efficient way to convert types A , B , and AB blood into type O . This is done by using glycosidase enzymes from specific bacteria to strip the blood group antigens from red blood cells . The removal of A and B antigens still does not address the problem of the Rh blood group antigen on the blood cells of Rh positive individuals , and so blood from Rh negative donors must be used . Patient trials will be conducted before the method can be relied on in live situations . Another approach to the blood antigen problem is the manufacture of artificial blood , which could act as a substitute in emergencies . Genetics ( edit ) A and B are codominant , giving the AB phenotype . Blood groups are inherited from both parents . The ABO blood type is controlled by a single gene ( the ABO gene ) with three types of alleles inferred from classical genetics : i , I , and I . The I designation stands for isoagglutinogen , another term for antigen . The gene encodes a glycosyltransferase -- that is , an enzyme that modifies the carbohydrate content of the red blood cell antigens . The gene is located on the long arm of the ninth chromosome ( 9q34 ) . The I allele gives type A , I gives type B , and i gives type O. As both I and I are dominant over i , only ii people have type O blood . Individuals with I I or I i have type A blood , and individuals with I I or I i have type B. I I people have both phenotypes , because A and B express a special dominance relationship : codominance , which means that type A and B parents can have an AB child . A couple with type A and type B can also have a type O child if they are both heterozygous ( I i , I i ) The cis - AB phenotype has a single enzyme that creates both A and B antigens . The resulting red blood cells do not usually express A or B antigen at the same level that would be expected on common group A or B red blood cells , which can help solve the problem of an apparently genetically impossible blood group .

The four possibilities represent the combinations obtained when one allele is taken from each parent ; each has a 25 % chance , but some occur more than once . Blood group inheritance by phenotype only Blood type O AB O O O or A O or B A or B O or A O or A O , A , B or AB A , B or AB O or B O , A , B or AB O or B A , B or AB AB A or B A , B or AB A , B or AB A , B or AB Historically , ABO blood tests were used in paternity testing , but in 1957 only 50 % of American men falsely accused were able to use them as evidence against paternity . Occasionally , the blood types of children are not consistent with expectations -- for example , a type O child can be born to an AB parent -- due to rare situations , such as Bombay phenotype and cis AB . Subgroups ( edit ) The A blood type contains about 20 subgroups , of which A1 and A2 are the most common ( over 99 % ) . A1 makes up about 80 % of all A-type blood , with A2 making up almost all of the rest . These two subgroups are not always interchangeable as far as transfusion is concerned , as some A2 individuals produce antibodies against the A1 antigen . Complications can sometimes arise in rare cases when typing the blood . With the development of DNA sequencing , it has been possible to identify a much larger number of alleles at the ABO locus , each of which can be categorized as A , B , or O in terms of the reaction to transfusion , but which can be distinguished by variations in the DNA sequence . There are six common alleles in white individuals of the ABO gene that produce one 's blood type : A O A101 ( A1 ) A201 ( A2 ) B101 ( B1 ) O01 ( O1 ) O02 ( O1v ) O03 ( O2 ) The same study also identified 18 rare alleles , which generally have a weaker glycosylation activity . People with weak alleles of A can sometimes express anti-A antibodies , though these are usually not clinically significant as they do not stably interact with the antigen at body temperature . Cis AB is another rare variant , in which A and B genes are transmitted together from a single parent . Distribution and evolutionary history ( edit ) Main article : Blood type distribution by country The distribution of the blood groups A , B , O and AB varies across the world according to the population . There are also variations in blood type distribution within human subpopulations . In the UK , the distribution of blood type frequencies through the population still shows some correlation to the distribution of placenames and to the successive invasions and migrations including Norsemen , Danes , Saxons , Celts , and Normans who contributed the morphemes to the placenames and the genes to the population . The two common O alleles , O01 and O02 , share their first 261 nucleotides with the group A allele A01 . However , unlike the group A allele , a guanosine base is subsequently deleted . A premature stop codon results from this frame - shift mutation . This variant is found worldwide , and likely predates human migration from Africa . The O01 allele is considered to predate the O02 allele . Some evolutionary biologists theorize that there are four main lineages of the ABO gene and that mutations creating type O have occurred at least three times in humans . From oldest to youngest , these lineages comprise the following alleles : A101 / A201 / O09 , B101 , O02 and O01 . The continued presence of the O alleles is hypothesized to be the result of balancing selection . Both theories contradict the previously held theory that type O blood evolved first . Origin theories ( edit ) It is possible that food and environmental antigens ( bacterial , viral , or plant antigens ) have epitopes similar enough to A and B glycoprotein antigens . The antibodies created against these environmental antigens in the first years of life can cross-react with ABO - incompatible red blood cells that it comes in contact with during blood transfusion later in life . Anti-A antibodies are hypothesized to originate from immune response towards influenza virus , whose epitopes are similar enough to the α - D-N - galactosamine on the A glycoprotein to be able to elicit a cross-reaction . Anti-B antibodies are hypothesized to originate from antibodies produced against Gram - negative bacteria , such as E. coli , cross-reacting with the α - D - galactose on the B glycoprotein . However , it is more likely that the force driving evolution of allele diversity is simply negative frequency - dependent selection ; cells with rare variants of membrane antigens are more easily distinguished by the immune system from pathogens carrying antigens from other hosts . Thus , individuals possessing rare types are better equipped to detect pathogens . The high within - population diversity observed in human populations would , then , be a consequence of natural selection on individuals . HIV can be neutralized in in vitro experiments using antibodies against blood group antigens specifically expressed on the HIV - producing cell lines . Clinical relevance ( edit ) The carbohydrate molecules on the surfaces of red blood cells have roles in cell membrane integrity , cell adhesion , membrane transportation of molecules , and acting as receptors for extracellular ligands , and enzymes . ABO antigens are found having similar roles on epithelial cells as well as red blood cells . Bleeding and thrombosis ( von Willebrand factor ) ( edit ) The ABO antigen is also expressed on the von Willebrand factor ( vWF ) glycoprotein , which participates in hemostasis ( control of bleeding ) . In fact , having type O blood predisposes to bleeding , as 30 % of the total genetic variation observed in plasma vWF is explained by the effect of the ABO blood group , and individuals with group O blood normally have significantly lower plasma levels of vWF ( and Factor VIII ) than do non-O individuals . In addition , vWF is degraded more rapidly due to the higher prevalence of blood group O with the Cys1584 variant of vWF ( an amino acid polymorphism in VWF ) : the gene for ADAMTS13 ( vWF - cleaving protease ) maps to the ninth chromosome ( 9q34 ) , the same locus as ABO blood type . Higher levels of vWF are more common amongst people who have had ischemic stroke ( from blood clotting ) for the first time . The results of this study found that the occurrence was not affected by ADAMTS13 polymorphism , and the only significant genetic factor was the person 's blood group . Disease risks ( edit ) Compared to O group individuals , non-O group ( A , AB , and B) individuals have a 14 % reduced risk of squamous cell carcinoma and 4 % reduced risk of basal cell carcinoma . Conversely , type O blood is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer . The B antigen links with increased risk of ovarian cancer . Gastric cancer has reported to be more common in blood group A and least in group O . According to Glass , Holmgren , et al. , those in the O blood group have an increased risk of infection with cholera , and those O - group individuals who are infected have more severe infections . The mechanisms behind this association with cholera are unclear in the literature . ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn ( edit ) Main article : Hemolytic disease of the newborn ( ABO ) ABO blood group incompatibilities between the mother and child does not usually cause hemolytic disease of the newborn ( HDN ) because antibodies to the ABO blood groups are usually of the IgM type , which do not cross the placenta . However , in an O - type mother , IgG ABO antibodies are produced and the baby can potentially develop ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn . Clinical applications ( edit ) In human cells , the ABO alleles and their encoded glycosyltransferases have been described in several oncologic conditions . Using anti-GTA / GTB monoclonal antibodies , it was demonstrated that a loss of these enzymes was correlated to malignant bladder and oral epithelia . Furthermore , the expression of ABO blood group antigens in normal human tissues is dependent the type of differentiation of the epithelium . In most human carcinomas , including oral carcinoma , a significant event as part of the underlying mechanism is decreased expression of the A and B antigens . Several studies have observed that a relative down - regulation of GTA and GTB occurs in oral carcinomas in association with tumor development . More recently , a genome wide association study ( GWAS ) has identified variants in the ABO locus associated with susceptibility to pancreatic cancer . Clinical marker ( edit ) A multi-locus genetic risk score study based on a combination of 27 loci , including the ABO gene , identified individuals at increased risk for both incident and recurrent coronary artery disease events , as well as an enhanced clinical benefit from statin therapy . The study was based on a community cohort study ( the Malmo Diet and Cancer study ) and four additional randomized controlled trials of primary prevention cohorts ( JUPITER and ASCOT ) and secondary prevention cohorts ( CARE and PROVE IT - TIMI 22 ) . Pseudoscience ( edit ) During the 1930s , connecting blood groups to personality types became popular in Japan and other areas of the world . Studies of this association have yet to confirm its existence definitively . Other popular but unsupported ideas include the use of a blood type diet , claims that group A causes severe hangovers , group O is associated with perfect teeth , and those with blood group A2 have the highest IQs . Scientific evidence in support of these concepts is nonexistent .

2321065739157209288 | Voting age | Voting age - Wikipedia Voting age Jump to : navigation , search A voting age is a minimum age established by law that a person must attain before they become eligible to vote in a public election . Today , the most common voting age is 18 years ; however , voting ages as low as 16 and as high as 25 exist ( see list below ) . Most countries have set a minimum voting age , often set in their constitution . In a number of countries voting is compulsory for those eligible to vote , while in most it is optional . When the right to vote was being established in democracies , the voting age was generally set at 21 or higher . In the 1970s many countries reduced the voting age to 18 . Debate is ongoing in a number of countries on proposals to reduce the voting age to or below 16 .

Czechoslovakia was the first to reduce the voting age to 20 years in 1946 , and by 1968 a total of 17 countries had lowered their voting age . Many countries , particularly in Western Europe , reduced their voting ages to 18 years during the 1970s , starting with the United Kingdom ( 1970 ) , with the United States ( 26th Amendment ) ( 1971 ) , Canada , Germany ( 1972 ) , Australia ( 1974 ) , France ( 1974 ) and others following soon afterwards . By the end of the 20th century , 18 had become by far the most common voting age . However , a few countries maintain a voting age of 20 years or higher . It was argued that 18 - year - old men could be drafted to go to war , and many people felt they should be able to vote at the age of 18 . In the late 20th and early 21st centuries voting ages were lowered to 18 in India , Switzerland , Austria and Morocco . Japan was due to make the change to 18 in 2016 . A dispute is continuing in the Maldives . Debate on lowering voting age to 16 ( edit ) Demonstration in favor of lowering the voting age by members of NYRA Berkeley , California ( 2004 ) Around the year 2000 a number of countries began to consider whether the voting age ought to be reduced further , with arguments most often being made in favour of a reduction to 16 . The earliest moves came during the 1990s , when the voting age for municipal elections in some States of Germany was lowered to 16 . Lower Saxony was the first state to make such a reduction , in 1995 , and four other states did likewise . Arguments against lowering the voting age to sixteen include lack of political maturity and arguments for include encouraging interest in politics in young people . During the 2000s several proposals for a reduced voting age were put forward in U.S. states , including California , Florida and Alaska , but none was successful . A national reduction was proposed in 2005 in Canada and in the Australian state of New South Wales , but these proposals were not adopted . In May 2009 , Danish Member of Parliament Mogens Jensen presented an initiative to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg to lower the voting age in Europe to 16 . Austria ( edit ) In 2007 , Austria became the first member of the European Union to adopt a voting age of 16 for most purposes . The voting age had been reduced in Austria from 19 to 18 at all levels in 1992 . At that time a voting age of 16 was proposed by the Green Party , but was not adopted . The voting age for municipal elections in some states was lowered to 16 shortly after 2000 . Three states had made the reduction by 2003 ( Burgenland , Carinthia and Styria ) , and in May 2003 Vienna became the fourth . Salzburg followed suit , and so by the start of 2005 the total had reached at least five states out of nine . As a consequence of state law , reduction of the municipal voting age in the states of Burgenland , Salzburg and Vienna resulted in the reduction of the regional voting age in those states as well . After the 2006 election , the winning SPÖ - ÖVP coalition announced on 12 January 2007 that one of its policies would be the reduction of the voting age to 16 for elections in all states and at all levels in Austria . The policy was set in motion by a Government announcement on 14 March , and a bill proposing an amendment to the Constitution was presented to the legislature on 2 May . On 5 June the National Council approved the proposal following a recommendation from its Constitution Committee . During the passage of the bill through the chamber relatively little opposition was raised to the reduction , with four out of five parties explicitly supporting it ; indeed , there was some dispute over which party had been the first to suggest the idea . Greater controversy surrounded the other provisions of the bill concerning the Briefwahl , or postal vote , and the extension of the legislative period for the National Council from four to five years . A further uncontroversial inclusion was a reduction in the candidacy age from 19 to 18 . The Federal Council approved the Bill on 21 June , with no party voting against it . The voting age was reduced when the Bill 's provisions came into force on 1 July 2007 . Austria thus became the first member of the European Union , and the first of the developed world democracies , to adopt a voting age of 16 for all purposes . Lowering the voting age encouraged political interest in young people in Austria . More sixteen and seventeen year olds voted than eighteen to twenty - one year olds in Austria . Brazil ( edit ) Brazil lowered the voting age from 18 to 16 in the 1988 constitution . The presidential election of 1989 was the first with the lower voting age . People between the ages 18 and 70 are required to vote . Malta ( edit ) On 20 November 2013 , Malta lowered the voting age from 18 to 16 for local elections starting from 2015 . The proposal had wide support from both the government and opposition , social scientists and youth organizations . On Monday 29 January 2018 , the Maltese Parliament will be debating to lower the voting age to 16 for General Elections , European Parliament Elections and referenda . On Monday , 5 March 2018 , the Maltese Parliament unanimously voted in favour of ammeding the constitution , lowering the official voting age from 18 to 16 , making Malta the second state in the EU to lower its voting age to 16 . United Kingdom ( edit ) The Representation of the People Act 1969 lowered the voting age from 21 to 18 , with effect from 1970 and remained in force until the Scottish Independence Referendum Act 2013 which allowed 16 year olds to vote for the first time , but only in Scotland and only in that particular referendum . The Scottish Parliament reduced the voting age to 16 for its own and Scottish local elections in 2015 . Men in military service who turned 19 during the first world war were entitled to vote in 1918 irrespective of their age as part of the Representation of the People Act 1918 which also allowed some women over the age of 30 to vote . The Representation of the People ( Equal Franchise ) Act 1928 brought the voting age for women down to 21 . The reduction of the voting age to 16 in the United Kingdom was first given serious consideration on 15 December 1999 , when the House of Commons considered in Committee an amendment proposed by Simon Hughes to the Representation of the People Bill . This was the first time the reduction of a voting age below 18 had ever been put to a vote in the Commons . The Government opposed the amendment , and it was defeated by 434 votes to 36 . The Votes at 16 coalition , a group of political and charitable organisations supporting a reduction of the voting age to 16 , was launched on 29 January 2003 . At that time a Private Member 's Bill was also proposed in the House of Lords by Lord Lucas , and received a Second Reading on 9 January . In 2004 , the UK Electoral Commission conducted a major consultation on the subject of the voting and candidacy ages , and received a significant response . In its conclusions it recommended that the voting age remain at 18 . On 29 November 2005 the House of Commons voted 136 - 128 ( on a free vote ) against a Private Member 's Bill for a reduction in the voting age to 16 proposed by Liberal Democrat MP Stephen Williams . Parliament chose not to include a provision reducing the voting age in the Electoral Administration Act during its passage in 2006 . On 27 February 2006 , the report of the Power Inquiry called for a reduction of the voting age , and of the candidacy age for the House of Commons , to 16 . On the same day the Chancellor of the Exchequer , Gordon Brown , indicated in an article in The Guardian that he favoured a reduction provided it was made concurrently with effective citizenship education . The UK Ministry of Justice published on 3 July 2007 a Green Paper entitled The Governance of Britain , in which it proposed the establishment of a `` Youth Citizenship Commission '' . The Commission would examine the case for lowering the voting age . On launching the Paper in the House of Commons , PM Gordon Brown said : `` Although the voting age has been 18 since 1969 , it is right , as part of that debate , to examine , and hear from young people themselves , whether lowering that age would increase participation . '' The Scottish National Party 's conference voted unanimously on 27 October 2007 for a policy of reducing the voting age to 16 , as well as in favour of a campaign for the necessary power to be devolved to the Scottish Parliament . During the Youth Parliament debates of 30 October 2009 in the House of Commons , Votes at 16 was debated and young people of that age group voted for it overwhelmingly as a campaign priority . Since that debate the issue has been raised in Prime Minister 's Questions and has also gained the widespread support of the major political parties . In April 2015 , Labour announced that it would support the policy if it won an overall majority in the 2015 general election . There was some criticism about not reducing the voting age to 16 years for the referendum on the membership in the European Union in 2016 . Scotland ( edit ) In September 2011 , it was announced that the voting age was likely to be reduced from 18 to 16 for the Scottish independence referendum . This was approved by the Scottish Parliament in June 2013 . In June 2015 , the Scottish Parliament voted unanimously to reduce the voting age to 16 for Scottish Parliament elections and Scottish local government elections . Crown dependencies ( edit ) Moves to lower the voting age to 16 were successful in each of the three British Crown dependencies from 2006 to 2008 . The Isle of Man was the first to amend its law , when in July 2006 it reduced the voting age to 16 for its general elections , with the House of Keys approving the move by 19 votes to 4 . Jersey followed suit on 4 July 2007 , when it approved in principle a reduction of the voting age to 16 . The States of Jersey voted narrowly in favour , by 25 votes to 21 , and the legislative amendments were adopted on 26 September . The law was sanctioned by Order in Council on 12 December , and was brought into force on 1 April , in time for the general elections in late 2008 . On 31 October 2007 , a proposal for a reduction made by the House Committee of the States of Guernsey , and approved by the States ' Policy Committee , was adopted by the assembly by 30 votes to 15 . An Order in Council sanctioning the law was made on 12 December , and it was registered at the Court of Guernsey on 19 December . It came into force immediately , and the voting age was accordingly reduced in time for the Guernsey general election , 2008 . Alderney and Sark , each part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey , have autonomy in deciding the question . Both have yet to favour a reduction to 16 . United States ( edit ) Blue indicates a state that allows 17 - year - olds who will turn 18 on or before election day to vote in caucuses or primaries . Main article : Voting rights in the United States § Young people In the United States , the debate about lowering voting age from 21 to 18 began during World War II and intensified during the Vietnam War , when most of those subjected to the draft were too young to vote , and the image of young men being forced to risk their lives in the military without the privileges of voting successfully pressured legislators to lower the voting age nationally and in many states . By 1968 , several states had lowered the voting age below 21 years : Alaska and Hawaii 's minimum age was 20 , Kentucky 's was 19 , and Georgia 's was 18 . In 1970 , the Supreme Court in Oregon v. Mitchell ruled that Congress had the right to regulate the minimum voting age in federal elections ; however , not at local and state level . The 26th Amendment ( passed and ratified in 1971 ) set the voting age for federal and state elections at 18 years , but does not prevent states from establishing a lower voting age . Except for the express limitations provided for in Amendments XIV , XV , XIX and XXVI , voter qualifications for House and Senate elections are largely delegated to the States under Article I , Section 2 and Amendment XVII of the United States Constitution , which respectively state that `` The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States , and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature . '' and `` The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State , elected by the people thereof , for six years ; and each Senator shall have one vote . The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures . '' 21 states permit 17 - year - olds to vote in primary elections and caucuses if they will be 18 by election day : Alaska , Connecticut , Hawaii , Illinois , Indiana , Iowa , Kansas , Kentucky , Maine , Maryland , Mississippi , Nebraska , Nevada , New Mexico , North Dakota , North Carolina , Ohio , Oregon , Virginia , Vermont , and Washington . Alaska , Kansas , North Dakota and Washington allow 17 - year - olds to participate in Democrat caucuses , but not in the Republican caucus . Minnesota allows 17 - year - olds to participate in presidential caucuses , but may not vote in primary elections for other offices . New Hampshire allows anyone who will be 18 years old by the time of next election to register , meaning some 17 - year - olds can register to vote in this state . Currently , the Maine Green Independent Party , the state branch of the Green Party of the United States , calls for the lowering of the voting age to 17 . Youth suffrage appears to be gaining ground in Massachusetts ; three of the four Democratic United States Senate candidates in 2010 supported lowering the voting age . In 2013 , the City of Takoma Park , Maryland became the first place in the United States to lower its voting age to 16 , for local ( but not general ) elections and referendums . Iran ( edit ) Iran had been unique in awarding suffrage at 15 , but raised the age to 18 in January 2007 despite the opposition of the Government . In May 2007 the Iranian Cabinet proposed a bill to reverse the increase . Switzerland ( edit ) On 6 May 2007 , the Swiss Canton of Glarus reduced the voting age from 18 to 16 for cantonal and local elections . New Zealand ( edit ) The New Zealand Green Party MP Sue Bradford announced on 21 June 2007 that she intended to introduce her Civics Education and Voting Age Bill on the next occasion upon which a place became available for the consideration of Members ' Bills . When this happened on 25 July Bradford abandoned the idea , citing an adverse public reaction . The Bill would have sought to reduce the voting age to 16 in New Zealand and make civics education part of the compulsory curriculum in schools . Venezuela ( edit ) A request to lower the voting age to 16 was made during consideration of revisions to the Constitution of Venezuela in 2007 . Cilia Flores , president of the National Assembly , announced that the Mixed Committee for Constitutional Reform had found the idea acceptable . Following approval in the legislature the amendment formed part of the package of constitutional proposals , and was defeated in the 2007 referendum . Australia ( edit ) A report suggesting that consideration be given to reducing the voting age to 16 in the Australian Capital Territory in Canberra , Australia was tabled in the territorial legislature on 26 September 2007 and defeated . In 2015 , federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said that the voting age should be lowered to 16 . Luxembourg ( edit ) Luxembourg has compulsory voting from the age of 18 . A proposal by the government to introduce optional voting for those aged 16 and 17 was rejected by 81 % of voters in a June 2015 referendum . Voting ages around the world ( edit ) Eighteen is the most common voting age , with a small minority of countries differing from this rule . Those with a national minimum age of 17 include East Timor , Greece , Indonesia , North Korea , South Sudan and Sudan . The minimum age is 16 in Argentina , Austria , Brazil , Cuba , Ecuador , Nicaragua and the Isle of Man , Jersey and Guernsey ( three self - governing British Crown Dependencies ) . People aged 16 -- 18 can vote in Bosnia , Serbia and Montenegro if employed . The highest minimum voting age is 21 in several nations . Some countries have variable provision for the minimum voting age , whereby a lower age is set for eligibility to vote in state , regional or municipal elections . The only known maximum voting age is in the Holy See , where the franchise for electing a new Pope is restricted to Cardinals under the age of 80 .

Males Neil Postman Sonia Yaco Related ( show ) Animal rights Anti-racism Direct democracy Egalitarianism Feminism Libertarianism Socialism Students rights Youth rights Social movements portal The Children 's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ( COPPA ) is a United States federal law , located at 15 U.S.C. § § 6501 -- 6506 ( Pub. L. 105 -- 277 , 112 Stat. 2681 - 728 , enacted October 21 , 1998 ) . The act , effective April 21 , 2000 , applies to the online collection of personal information by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction about children under 13 years of age . It details what a website operator must include in a privacy policy , when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent or guardian , and what responsibilities an operator has to protect children 's privacy and safety online including restrictions on the marketing of those under 13 . While children under 13 can legally give out personal information with their parents ' permission , many websites -- particularly social media sites -- disallow underage children from using their services altogether due to the cost and work involved in complying with the law . Contents 1 Background 2 Violations 3 Compliance 4 International scope 5 Criticisms 6 See also 7 References 8 External links Background ( edit ) In 1990s , the electronic commerce was on its rise , but there have been expressed various concerns about the data collection practices and the impact of Internet commerce on the user privacy - especially children , because very few websites had their own privacy policies . Center of Media Education has petitioned Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to investigate the data collection and use practices of the KidsCom.com website , and take legal action since the data practices violated Section 5 of FTC Act concerning `` unfair / deceptive practices '' . After FTC has completed the investigation , it issued the `` KidsCom Letter '' - the report that the data collection and use practices were indeed subject to legal action . This resulted in the need to inform parents about the risks of children 's online privacy , as well as to parental consent necessity . This resulted in the drafting of COPPA . The Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) has the authority to issue regulations and enforce COPPA . Also under the terms of COPPA , the FTC - designated `` safe harbor '' provisioning is designed to encourage increased industry self - regulation . Under this provision , industry groups and others may request Commission approval of self - regulatory guidelines to govern participants ' compliance , such that website operators in Commission - approved programs would first be subject to the disciplinary procedures of the safe harbor program in lieu of FTC enforcement . As of June 2016 , the FTC has approved seven safe harbor programs operated by TRUSTe , ESRB , CARU , PRIVO , Aristotle , Inc. , Samet Privacy ( kidSAFE ) , and the Internet Keep Safe Coalition ( iKeepSafe ) . In September 2011 , the FTC announced proposed revisions to the COPPA rules , the first significant changes to the act since the issuance of the rules in 2000 . The proposed rule changes expanded the definition of what it meant to `` collect '' data from children . The proposed rules presented a data retention and deletion requirement , which mandated that data obtained from children be retained only for the amount of time necessary to achieve the purpose that it was collected for . It also added the requirement that operators ensure that any third parties to whom a child 's information is disclosed have reasonable procedures in place to protect the information . The act applies to websites and online services operated for commercial purposes that are either directed towards children under 13 or have actual knowledge that children under 13 are providing information online . Most recognized non-profit organizations are exempt from most of the requirements of COPPA . However , the Supreme Court ruled that non-profits operated for the benefit of their members ' commercial activities are subject to FTC regulation and consequently COPPA as well . The type of `` verifiable parental consent '' that is required before collecting and using information provided by children under 13 is based upon a `` sliding scale '' set forth in a Federal Trade Commission regulation that takes into account the manner in which the information is being collected and the uses to which the information will be put . Violations ( edit ) The FTC has brought a number of actions against website operators for failure to comply with COPPA requirements , including actions against Girls ' Life , American Pop Corn Company , Lisa Frank , Inc. , Mrs. Fields Cookies , and The Hershey Company . In February 2004 , UMG Recordings , Inc. was fined US $400,000 for COPPA violations in connection with a web site that promoted the then 13 - year - old pop star Lil ' Romeo and hosted child - oriented games and activities , and Bonzi Software , which offered downloads of an animated figure `` BonziBuddy '' that provided shopping advice , jokes , and trivia was fined US $75,000 for COPPA violations . Similarly , the owners of the Xanga website were fined US $ 1 million in 2006 for COPPA violations of repeatedly allowing children under 13 to sign up for the service without getting their parent 's consent . In 2016 , the mobile advertising network , inMobi was fined US $950,000 for tracking all ages of users ( 13 and younger and older ) geo - location unknowingly . The advertising software continuously tracked user location despite privacy preferences on the mobile device . Other websites that were directed towards children and fined due to COPPA include Imbee ( 2008 ) Kidswirl ( 2011 ) , and Skid - e-Kids ( 2011 ) . Compliance ( edit ) In December 2012 , the Federal Trade Commission issued revisions effective July 1 , 2013 , which created additional parental notice and consent requirements , amended definitions , and added other obligations for organizations that ( 1 ) operate a website or online service that is `` directed to children '' under 13 and that collects `` personal information '' from users or ( 2 ) knowingly collects personal information from persons under 13 through a website or online service . After July 1 , 2013 , operators must : Post a clear and comprehensive online privacy policy describing their information practices for personal information collected online from persons under age 13 ; Make reasonable efforts ( taking into account available technology ) to provide direct notice to parents of the operator 's practices with regard to the collection , use , or disclosure of personal information from persons under 13 , including notice of any material change to such practices to which the parents has previously consented ; Obtain verifiable parental consent , with limited exceptions , prior to any collection , use , and / or disclosure of personal information from persons under age 13 ; Provide a reasonable means for a parent to review the personal information collected from their child and to refuse to permit its further use or maintenance ; Establish and maintain reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality , security , and integrity of the personal information collected from children under age 13 , including by taking reasonable steps to disclose / release such personal information only to parties capable of maintaining its confidentiality and security ; and Retain personal information collected online from a child for only as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and delete the information using reasonable measures to protect against its unauthorized access or use . Operators are prohibited from conditioning a child 's participation in an online activity on the child providing more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity . According to a notice issued by the Federal Trade Commission an operator has actual knowledge of a user 's age if the site or service asks for -- and receives -- information from the user that allows it to determine the person 's age . An example cited by the FTC includes , an operator who asks for a date of birth on a site 's registration page has actual knowledge as defined by COPPA if a user responds with a year that suggests they 're under 13 . Another example cited by the FTC that an operator may have actual knowledge based on answers to `` age identifying '' questions like `` What grade are you in ? '' or `` What type of school do you go to ? ( a ) elementary ; ( b ) middle ; ( c ) high school ; ( d ) college . '' A small fee is charged by Microsoft under COPPA as a way to verify parent consent . The fee is donated to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children . Google , however , charges the small fee as a way to verify one 's date of birth . In the changes effective July 1 , 2013 , the definition of an operator was updated to make clear that COPPA covers a child - directed site or service that integrates outside services , such as plug - ins or advertising networks , that collect personal information from its visitors . The definition of a website or online service directed to children is expanded to include plug - ins or ad networks that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information through a child - directed website or online service . Websites and services that target children as a secondary audience may differentiate among users , and are required to provide notice and obtain parental consent only for those users who identify themselves as being younger than 13 . The definition of personal information requiring parental notice and consent before collection now includes `` persistent identifiers '' that can be used to recognize users over time and across different websites or online services . However , no parental notice and consent is required when an operator collects a persistent identifier for the sole purpose of supporting the website or online service 's internal operations . The definition of personal information after July 1 , 2013 , also includes geolocation information , as well as photos , videos , and audio files that contain a child 's image or voice . On November 19 , 2015 , the FTC announced it had approved an additional method for obtaining verifiable parental consent : `` face match to verified photo identification '' ( FMVPI ) . The two - step process allows a parent to submit a government - sanctioned ID for authentication , then submit an impromptu photo via mobile device or web camera , which is then compared to the photo on the ID . International scope ( edit ) While COPPA is an American law , the Federal Trade Commission has made it clear that the requirements of COPPA will apply to foreign - operated web sites if such sites `` are directed to children in the U.S. or knowingly collect information from children in the U.S. '' Since it is US Federal law , it 's applicable only to websites that are run : by websites under U.S. jurisdiction ; by websites which are hosted on servers in the U.S. ; by websites with owners headquartered in U.S. territory ; or by commercial websites available in U.S. market . Criticisms ( edit ) COPPA is controversial and has been criticized as ineffective and potentially unconstitutional by legal experts and mass media since it was drafted . Complaints leveled against the legislation include website owners banning users 12 and under -- which only `` encourages age fraud and allows websites to bypass the burden of obtaining parental consent '' -- and the active suppression of children 's rights to freedom of speech , self - expression , and other First Amendment rights . Delays in obtaining parental consent often result in children moving on to other activities that are less appropriate for their age or pose bigger privacy risk . In addition , age restrictions and the `` parental consent '' process is easy for children to circumvent , and parents generally help them to lie about their age . An Internet Safety Technical Task Force composed of experts from academia and commercial companies found in 2012 that mandatory age verification is not only a poor solution for privacy but also constitutes a violation of privacy . The law has also many safety flaws . For example , it does not protect kids from predatory advertising , it does not prevent kids from accessing pornography or lying about their age , and it does n't ensure a totally safe environment online . Tech journalist Larry Magid , a long - time vocal opponent of the law -- also notes that parents , not the government , hold the bulk of responsibility of protecting children online . COPPA has also been criticized for its potential chilling effect on children 's apps , content , websites and online services . For example , Snapchat released a Snapkidz version of its app in June 2013 , but unlike Snapchat , Snapkidz did n't allow photo sharing at all due to COPPA regulations . Similarly , it has been pointed out that the COPPA Rule was not necessarily about privacy protection but more about `` enforcing the laws . '' COPPA 's penalties ( $40,000 per violation ) can be potentially catastrophic for the small businesses , undermining their business model . While some major corporations have enough money to pay the fine or implement a parental consent mechanism , small businesses often can not afford it . With the rise of virtual education COPPA may inadequately represent the role of administrators , teachers , and the school in protecting student privacy under the assumption of loco parentis . Mark Zuckerberg , co-founder and CEO of Facebook , has expressed opposition to COPPA and stated `` That will be a fight we take on at some point . My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really , really young age .

'' Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Marketing campaign 3 Today 3.1 Media references 4 Gallery 5 See also 6 References 7 External links History ( edit ) Wall Drug historic display , including items from Hustead 's early practice The small town drugstore made its first step towards fame when it was purchased by Ted Hustead in 1931 . Hustead was a Nebraska native and pharmacist who was looking for a small town with a Catholic church in which to establish his business . He bought Wall Drug , located in a 231 - person town in what he referred to as `` the middle of nowhere , '' and strove to make a living . Business was very slow until his wife , Dorothy , thought of advertising free ice water to parched travelers heading to the newly opened Mount Rushmore monument 60 miles ( 97 km ) to the west . From that time on business was brisk . Wall Drug grew into a cowboy - themed shopping mall / department store . Wall Drug includes a western art museum , a chapel based on the one found at New Melleray Abbey near Dubuque , Iowa , and an 80 - foot ( 24 m ) apatosaurus ( formerly brontosaurus ) that can be seen right off Interstate 90 . It was designed by Emmet Sullivan who also created the dinosaurs at Dinosaur Park in Rapid City and Dinosaur World in Arkansas . Marketing campaign ( edit ) Wall Drug earns much of its fame from its self - promotion . Billboards advertising the establishment can be seen for hundreds of miles throughout South Dakota and the neighboring states . In addition , many visitors of Wall Drug have erected signs throughout the world announcing the miles to Wall Drug from famous locations . By 1981 Wall Drug was claiming it was giving away 20,000 cups of water per day during the peak tourist season , lasting from Memorial Day until Labor Day , and during the hottest days of the summer . Most of Wall Drug 's advertisement billboards can be found on an approximately 650 - mile - long ( 1,050 km ) stretch of Interstate 90 from Minnesota to Billings , Montana . The signs are created by South Dakota billboard artists , including Dobby Hansen and Barry Knutson of Philip and Mike Kurtz , KurtzSigns.com ( 1 ) formerly of Rapid City . Today ( edit ) The Wall Drug Dinosaur To date , Wall Drug still offers free ice water , but as they have become more popular , they have started to offer free bumper stickers and signs to aid in promotion , and coffee for 5 cents . Some popular free bumper stickers read `` Where the heck is Wall Drug ? '' , `` How many miles to Wall Drug ? '' , and `` Where in the world is Wall Drug ? '' . When the United States Air Force was still operating Minuteman missile silos in the western South Dakota plains , Wall Drug used to offer free coffee and doughnuts to service personnel if they stopped in on their way to or from Ellsworth Air Force Base ( 50 miles ( 80 km ) west on Interstate 90 ) . Ted Hustead died in 1999 . The following day , South Dakota Governor Bill Janklow began his annual State of the State address by commemorating Hustead as `` a guy that figured out that free ice water could turn you into a phenomenal success in the middle of a semi-arid desert way out in the middle of someplace . '' Media references ( edit ) In 1981 , Wall Drug was featured in Time magazine as one of the largest tourist attractions in the north . In his 1989 book The Lost Continent , Bill Bryson wrote , `` It 's an awful place , one of the world 's worst tourist traps , but I loved it and I wo n't have a word said against it . '' The history of Wall Drug was told in a two - episode story arc of the podcast The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd . In 2016 `` Z Nation '' featured wall Drug in season 3 , episode 8 .

This list contains all known stars and brown dwarfs at a distance of up to 5 parsecs ( 16.3 light - years ) from the Solar System .

Double and triple stars are shown `` stacked '' , but the true location is the star closest to the central plane . Color corresponds to the table above . This is a 3D map of the nearest stars using the coordinates listed above . The stars in the front have a right ascension of 18h . An animated version is available here . 3D red green glasses are recommended to view this image correctly . The locations of the four star systems closest to the Sun . Two , a brown dwarf and a free planet were found by the WISE satellite . The year when the distance to each system was determined is listed after the system 's name . Future and past ( edit ) Distances of the nearest stars from 20,000 years ago until 80,000 years in the future Backwards extrapolation of the motion of Gamma Microscopii has shown that approximately 3.8 million years ago , it was only around 6 light - years from the Sun . Because it is a yellow giant , it would then have had an apparent magnitude of − 3 , brighter than Sirius currently is . It is estimated that Scholz 's star and its companion brown dwarf passed about 52,000 astronomical units ( 0.25 parsecs ; 0.82 light - years ) from the Sun about 70,000 years ago . Ross 248 , currently at a distance of 10.3 light - years , has a radial velocity of − 81 km / s . In about 31,000 years it may be the closest star to the Sun for several millennia , with a minimum distance of 0.927 parsecs ( 3.02 light - years ) in 36,000 years . Gliese 445 , currently at a distance of 17.6 light - years , has a radial velocity of − 119 km / s . In about 40,000 years it will be the closest star for a period of several thousand years . Gliese 710 is currently about 63.8 light - years ( 19.6 parsecs ) from Earth , but its proper motion , distance , and radial velocity indicate that it will approach within a very small distance -- perhaps under one light year -- from the Sun within 1.4 million years , based on past and current Hipparcos data . At closest approach it will be a first - magnitude star about as bright as Antares . The proper motion of Gliese 710 is very small for its distance , meaning it is traveling nearly directly in our line of sight . In a time interval of ± 10 million years from the present , Gliese 710 is the star whose combination of mass and close approach distance will cause the greatest gravitational perturbation of the Solar System . HIP 85605 's spectral type and trajectory are not fully understood . More - accurate astrometry is required to determine the distance to the star , and thus if it will pass close to the Sun .

The only known threat strong enough against the empire 's power and plans is the legendary `` Defender of the Universe '' Voltron , a 100 - meter tall robot warrior composed of five lion mechas whose pilots are known as the Paladins . At the crux of the war that ended with the destruction of planet Altea , Voltron was separated by King Alfor of Altea in order to protect Voltron from falling into the Galran Emperor Zarkon 's possession . King Alfor bonded the five lion 's energies to his daughter Allura 's life force and sent them across the universe to different locations until the time for the next generation of Paladins to appear and pilot Voltron arrived . Princess Allura , her retainer Coran , and the Altean Castle of Lions were hidden on planet Arus along with the Black Lion . In the present , the Galra Empire 's path of conquest and search for Voltron has led them to Earth 's solar system . A group of space pilots -- Shiro , Keith , Lance , Pidge , and Hunk -- discover the Blue Lion and immediately get swept up into the Galran War . They meet Princess Allura , become Paladins , and reunite the five lions to form Voltron to combat Emperor Zarkon 's nefarious schemes , with the hopes of ultimately defeating the entire Galra Empire . Cast and characters ( edit ) See also : List of Voltron characters Main ( edit ) Josh Keaton as Takashi `` Shiro '' Shirogane - The Black Paladin , the pilot of the Black Lion and Guardian Spirit of Sky . The Leader of the Defenders of the Universe , Shiro was captured by the Galra Empire a year before the start of the series during which he was given a weaponized prosthetic right arm . A natural , decisive leader , Shiro is calm and always in control . At the end of season two , Shiro reclaims his personal bayard weapon from Zarkon that enables them to defeat him , but Shiro mysteriously vanishes afterwards . In season three , it is revealed he was teleported to a Galra ship , as he ended up on one before escaping and was eventually found by the team . After finding that the Black Lion no longer accepts him as its true paladin , he continues to aid the team by providing guidance and support to them from the Castle of the Lions . At the start of season four , Shiro manages to re-establish his bond with the Black Lion when Keith was absent during an intense battle . In season five , he has become an unwitting mole of Haggar , who can see through his eyes to keep an eye on Lotor . Steven Yeun as Keith - The Red Paladin , the pilot of the Red Lion and Guardian Spirit of Fire . Formerly a cadet at Galaxy Garrison academy before being expelled , Keith is an orphan and a lone wolf as a result . Sullen and temperamental , Keith spends his free time honing his skills for battle . In season two , Keith discovers he has Galra blood , apparently from his maternal side of the family . The revelation comes from a knife which associated him with a secret rebel group of the Galra called the `` Blade of Marmora , '' but also ends up straining Allura 's trust in him for a while . Due to Shiro 's absence , Keith takes over as the head of Voltron as the new pilot of the Black Lion in season three . At the start of season four , Keith officially steps down as the leader of Voltron , handing the position back to Shiro so that he can continue to work with the Blade of Marmora . At the end of season five , Keith is reunited with the Galra who is his mother . Jeremy Shada as Lance - The Blue Paladin , the pilot of the Blue Lion and Guardian Spirit of Water . Lance was the fighter pilot of his team at Galaxy Garrison academy . Cocky and confident , Lance is the comic relief of the Defenders and likes to think of himself as a ladies ' man as well as the sharpshooter . Lance has maintained a one - sided rivalry with Keith from when the two were at the Galaxy Garrison together , but the two have shown to be an effective team . Lance takes over piloting the Red Lion in season three . Bex Taylor - Klaus as Katie `` Pidge '' Holt - The Green Paladin , the pilot of the Green Lion and Guardian Spirit of Forest . Katie disguised herself as a boy named Pidge Gunderson to get into Galaxy Garrison academy to find out what happened to her father and brother who disappeared whilst on the same mission which Shiro was captured on . A technical genius , Pidge is the smartest member of the team able to create specialist modifications for the Green Lion such as a cloaking device ( which only lasts thirty seconds ) and she re-purposed a Galran drone to work for her , naming it Rover , who later sacrifice itself to protect her . During her time as a Paladin , she eventually rescues her family and while her brother , Matt keeps fighting for the alliance , her father returns to Earth to warn the Galaxy Garrison about the war against the Galra . Tyler Labine as Hunk - The Yellow Paladin , the pilot of the Yellow Lion and Guardian Spirit of Land . Hunk was the engineer of his team at Galaxy Garrison academy . A gentle giant with an equally large appetite , Hunk is the heart of the team , lifting them up and making peace between them . After witnessing first hand the devastation and misery that Zarkon 's conquest of the universe has brought upon the people of various worlds , Hunk is determined to free those enslaved . Kimberly Brooks as Princess Allura - Crown Princess of Altea , the daughter of King Alfor , Allura is the last known female Altean . Pilot and keeper of the Castle of Lions , a structure that is both a castle and a spaceship , Allura granted the Defenders their titles and sent them on their mission to defeat Zarkon and liberate the universe . Allura wishes more than anything to finish her father 's work in stopping Zarkon . In season three , she becomes the new pilot of the Blue Lion as the Pink Paladin . As an Altean , Allura 's abilities include the chameleon - like ability to blend in with other species and magical abilities related to quintessence . She has a telepathic bond with some Altean mice that had ended up in the same cryo - pod that she was hibernating inside of . Rhys Darby as Coran - The Royal advisor to Princess Allura 's family and the last known male Altean . Energetic and excitable , Coran serves Allura dutifully whilst being fiercely protective of her . He tends to ramble on and on about his past , particularly about his supposedly daring feats or past experiences . Despite his odd and quirky character , he is a reliable and steadfast ally to his princess and the Paladins . Neil Kaplan as Emperor Zarkon - The Emperor of the ruthless Galra Empire , and the ruler of most of the known universe after spending the last ten thousand years conquering it . He desires the Lions of Voltron , not only because they represent the biggest threat to his campaign , but because he is later revealed to be the former Black Paladin . As such , he views the Lions as his own property rather than seeing himself as a former chosen one to pilot the Black Lion . He is powerful enough to go toe - to - toe directly with the Lions themselves . At the end of season two , Zarkon faces Voltron and the Paladins in an experimental mecha armor and is defeated but left in critical condition , unconscious and requiring life - support . By the end of season three , his history is fully revealed and Haggar successfully reawakens him and he starts a manhunt for Lotor . In season five , Lotor seems to have killed him in a duel to the death , and he is declared dead by the empire . Cree Summer as Witch Haggar - Zarkon 's primary advisor , and leader of the Druids , dark mystics who fanatically serve the Galra Empire . Haggar is both a dangerous sorceress and a mad scientist . She combines her unnatural magic with abominable science to arm Galra soldiers with powerful weapons , create terrible monsters ( dubbed `` Ro - beasts '' in the second season ) to fight Voltron , and leech all manner of living things , including entire planets , of the mystical energy known as Quintessence for the Galra to use in their conquest of the universe . In battle , her magical abilities allow her to teleport , cast illusions , fog the minds of others with hallucinations , and use her hands to project energy blasts and shields . Haggar is revealed to be Altean in the second - season finale , and after Zarkon 's defeat , orders the remaining Galran commanders to summon their lord 's son , Prince Lotor . By the end of season three , she is revealed to be Honerva , an Altean alchemist and wife to Zarkon before both of them were corrupted by dark creatures , that are linked to Voltron 's origins , ten thousand years ago . Haggar seemed to have lost her memory of her former life , only recently discovering this knowledge with her magic and using it to gradually recover the rest of her memories , learning that Prince Lotor is her own son . A.J. Locascio as Prince Lotor - The son of Zarkon and Honerva ( Witch Haggar ) and heir to the Galra Empire , who assumes control of the Galra following his father 's defeat . Lotor follows a different philosophy than other Galra , believing that strength comes from bringing in worthy followers from the worlds they conquer rather than expending further resources to keep them subjugated . He has a personal all - female strike team consisting of individuals who are , like himself , only half - Galra . During his leadership of the Galra , he ignores matters that he deems a waste of time . It is eventually revealed that he has been working on his own plans to obtain Quintessence , and as a result , Zarkon declares him an outlaw . At the end of season 4 , he provides assistance to the Paladins , saving them from an ambush by Haggar and offers an alliance with them . In season 5 , Lotor defeats his father in a fight to the death and assumes control of the Empire , while forming an alliance with the Paladins and dealing with insurgents who question his authority .

She said the meaning behind the title is `` It 's kind of about like bringing light to a situation , or to someone 's life , or somebody else who brings light to your life , or sweetening the situation . '' A May 2018 cover article in Time magazine by Sam Lansky notes that , for the first time with this album , Grande `` took the lead on writing '' . In late May 2018 , she announced that the album would feature 15 tracks and three collaborations , which are Missy Elliott , Nicki Minaj and Pharrell Williams .

Prior to the album 's release , Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic commented that the first three singles from the album `` sparked with a sense of defiance and rattled mortality ... ( a ) trifecta of pseudo-spiritualism and sneaky innovation ... Grande 's music and videos radiate ( intoxicating , unworried confidence ) '' . Composition Music and lyrics `` It 's definitely more personal . You know , I feel like ' Dangerous Woman ' was a grown - up ' My Everything , ' and this is a grown - up ' Yours Truly .

Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic stated that the album `` deepens the R&B inclinations of 2016 's Dangerous Woman .

She went on saying : `` When somebody that famous picks up on a song that has had its day and gives it a second life , it 's a real gift . I think she 's done a lovely version of it . '' `` Pete Davidson '' is an interlude of the album and has a trap and hip hop production . Lyrically , it is about her then - fiancé , Pete Davidson . `` Get Well Soon '' is a soul - ballad that has a laid back R&B melody .

Critical reception Professional ratings Aggregate scores Source Rating AnyDecentMusic ? 7.5 / 10 Metacritic 81 / 100 Review scores Source Rating AllMusic The Daily Telegraph Entertainment Weekly A -- The Guardian The Independent The Irish Times NME Pitchfork 8.1 / 10 Rolling Stone The Times At Metacritic , which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics , Sweetener has an average score of 81 based on 20 reviews . In The New York Times , Jon Pareles wrote that Grande 's voice `` can be silky , breathy or cutting , swooping through long melismas or jabbing out short R&B phrases ; it 's always supple and airborne , never forced. ... Ms. Grande sails above any fray , past or present . Her aplomb is her triumph . '' Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone called the album `` a refreshing , cohesive package. ... ( The producers ' approach lets ) Grande 's easy way with trap phrasing find a home next to her flair for Broadway-esque dramatic runs '' ; it combines `` the sensual romance of the album 's plentiful love songs and the aching heartbreak of the others . '' Spanos concludes that it is Grande 's `` best album yet , and one of 2018 's strongest pop releases to date . Kate Solomon of The Independent commented that with music that is `` often unexpected , sometimes in a good way , it is an album by an artist in flux -- trying to move forward while reluctant to fully relinquish old ideas . '' Writing for NME , Douglas Greenwood deemed the album `` ( a ) confident , accomplished , sometimes left - field collection of pop bangers , proving that she 's not shy of experimentation . '' He also commented that `` there are a couple of songs on Sweetener that you 'd happily leave on the shelf . '' Similarly , in The Guardian , Alexis Petridis said that `` her collaborations with Pharrell really push the boundaries . But they make the rest of this album seem formulaic . '' He considered the album `` uneven '' , with its attempts to balance out what Grande called a `` weird '' record . Petridis felt that `` the world could use more pop music as imaginative as Sweetener 's highlights . '' Neil McCormick in The Daily Telegraph felt that `` the quality of the songs is high , although there are moments when they might be trying too hard to demonstrate that the teen queen is all grown up now , '' and argued , `` as modern , branded , blockbuster pop albums go , Sweetener is a delightful confection . '' He commented less favorably about guest rappers Nicki Minaj and Missy Elliott , who `` sound like they dialled in clichéd verses for a pay cheque . '' Commercial performance In the United States , Sweetener opened at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 231,000 album - equivalent units , of which 127,000 were from traditional album sales , thus becoming Grande 's third number - one album in the United States . It also logged the largest streaming week for a non-hip hop album by a female artist ; the songs were streamed 126.7 million times in the album 's first week . On the US Billboard Hot 100 chart issue dated September 1 , ten songs ( nine of which are from Sweetener ) appeared simultaneously , placing Grande as the fourth female artist with the most simultaneous entries on the chart by a solo female artist behind Taylor Swift , Beyoncé , and Cardi B. Grande also topped the Artist 100 chart the same week due to album sales and song streams . In its second week , Sweetener dropped to number four moving 75,000 equivalent album units , while in its third week , it fell one position to number five moving an additional 56,000 equivalent album units .

In the ecclesiological sense of the term , `` hierarchy '' strictly means the `` holy ordering '' of the Church , the Body of Christ , so to respect the diversity of gifts and ministries necessary for genuine unity . ( 1 Cor 12 ) In canonical and general usage , it refers to those who exercise authority within a Christian church . In the Catholic Church , authority rests chiefly with the bishops , while priests and deacons serve as their assistants , co-workers or helpers . Accordingly , `` hierarchy of the Catholic Church '' is also used to refer to the bishops alone . As of 31st of December 2014 , the Catholic Church consisted of 2,998 dioceses or equivalent jurisdictions , each overseen by a bishop . Dioceses are divided into individual communities called parishes , each staffed by one or more priest , deacon , or lay ecclesial minister . Ordinarily , care of a parish is entrusted to a priest , though there are exceptions . Approximately 22 % of all parishes do not have a resident pastor , and 3,485 parishes worldwide are entrusted to a deacon or lay ecclesial minister . All clergy , including deacons , priests , and bishops , may preach , teach , baptize , witness marriages , and conduct funeral liturgies . Only priests and bishops can celebrate the sacraments of the Eucharist ( though others may be ministers of Holy Communion ) , Penance ( Reconciliation , Confession ) , Confirmation ( priests may administer this sacrament with prior ecclesiastical approval ) , and Anointing of the Sick . Only bishops can administer the sacrament of Holy Orders , by which men are ordained as bishops , priests or deacons .

'' In the year 2012 , there were 5,133 Catholic bishops ; at the end of 2014 , there were 5,237 Catholic bishops . The Pope himself is a bishop ( the bishop of Rome ) and traditionally uses the title `` Venerable Brother '' when writing formally to another bishop . The typical role of a bishop is to provide pastoral governance for a diocese . Bishops who fulfill this function are known as diocesan ordinaries , because they have what canon law calls ordinary ( i.e. not delegated ) authority for a diocese . These bishops may be known as hierarchs in the Eastern Catholic Churches . Other bishops may be appointed to assist ordinaries ( auxiliary bishops and coadjutor bishops ) or to carry out a function in a broader field of service to the Church , such as appointments as papal nuncios or as officials in the Roman Curia . Bishops of a country or region may form an episcopal conference and meet periodically to discuss current problems . Decisions in certain fields , notably liturgy , fall within the exclusive competence of these conferences . The decisions of the conferences are binding on the individual bishops only if agreed to by at least two - thirds of the membership and confirmed by the Holy See . Bishops are normally ordained to the episcopate by at least three other bishops , though for validity only one is needed and a mandatum from the Holy See is required . Ordination to the episcopate is considered the completion of the sacrament of Holy Orders ; even when a bishop retires from his active service , he remains a bishop , since the ontological effect of Holy Orders is permanent . On the other hand , titles such as archbishop or patriarch imply no ontological alteration , and existing bishops who rise to those offices do not require further ordination . Sacramentally , all bishops are equal . According to jurisdiction , office , and privileges , however , various ranks are distinguished , as indicated below . All bishops are `` vicars of Christ '' . Pope ( bishop of Rome ) ( edit ) Main article : Pope Pope Francis , bishop of Rome The pope is the bishop of Rome . He is also , by virtue of that office : Vicar of Jesus Christ , Successor of the Prince of the Apostles , Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church , Patriarch of the Latin Church , Primate of Italy , Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province , Sovereign of the Vatican City State , Servant of the servants of God . Offices and titles ( edit ) `` Pope '' is a pronominal honorific , not an office or a title , meaning `` Father '' ( the common honorific for all clergy ) . The honorific `` pope '' was from the early 3rd century used for any bishop in the West , and is known in Greek as far back as Homer 's Odyssey ( 6 : 57 ). ( 18 ) In the East , `` pope '' is still a common form of address for clergy in the Russian Orthodox Church , and is the style of the Bishop of Alexandria . Pope Marcellinus ( d . 304 ) is the first Bishop of Rome shown in sources to have had the title `` pope '' used of him . From the 6th century , the imperial chancery of Constantinople normally reserved this designation for the Bishop of Rome. ( 18 ) From the early 6th century , it began to be confined in the West to the Bishop of Rome , a practice that was firmly in place by the 11th century , when Pope Gregory VII declared it reserved for the Bishop of Rome . As bishop of the Church of Rome , he is successor to the co-patrons of that local Church , Saint Peter and Saint Paul . As such , the Church of Rome , and its bishop , has always had a prominence in the Catholic communion and at least to some degree primacy among his peers , the other bishops , as Peter had a certain primacy among his peers , the other apostles . The exact nature of that primacy is one of the most significant ecumenical issues of the age , and has developed as a doctrine throughout the entire history of the Church . The Catechism of the Catholic Church , quoting the Second Vatican Council 's document Lumen gentium , states : `` The pope , Bishop of Rome and Peter 's successor , ' is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful . ' '' Communion with bishop of Rome has become such a significant identifier of Catholic identity that at times the Catholic Church has been known in its entirety as `` Roman Catholic '' , though this is inaccurate in Catholic theology ( ecclesiology ) . Three other of the pope 's offices stem directly from his office as bishop of the Church of Rome . As the Latin Church owes its identity and development to its origins in the liturgical , juridical , and theological patrimony of Rome , the bishop of Rome is de facto the patriarch of the Latin Church . According to no less than Pope Benedict XVI , there has been much ' confusion ' between the pope 's primacy as patriarch of the western church and his primacy as first patriarch among equals , that this `` failure to distinguish '' between the roles and responsibilities of these two distinct positions lead in time to the `` extreme centralization of the Catholic Church '' and the schism between East and West . As the first local Church of Italy , the bishop of Rome is the Primate of Italy and is empowered to appoint the president of the Italian Bishops ' Conference . The Church of Rome is also the principal church of the Province of Rome , so the bishop of Rome is Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman province . As a bishop , the pope is referred to as a Vicar of Christ . This title was common to all bishops from the fourth through twelfth centuries , reserved to the bishop of Rome from the twelfth through early twentieth centuries , and restored to all bishops at the Second Vatican Council . The pope resides in Vatican City , an independent state within the city of Rome , set up by the 1929 Lateran Pacts between the Holy See and Italy . As popes were sovereigns of the papal states ( 754 -- 1870 ) , so do they exercise absolute civil authority in the microstate of Vatican City since 1929 . Ambassadors are accredited not to Vatican City State but to the Holy See , which was a subject of international law even before the state was instituted . The body of officials that assist the Pope in governance of the Church as a whole is known as the Roman curia . The term `` Holy See '' ( i.e. of Rome ) is generally used only of Pope and curia , because the Code of Canon Law , which concerns governance of the Latin Church as a whole and not internal affairs of the see ( diocese ) of Rome itself , necessarily uses the term in this technical sense . Finally , the title `` Servant of the servants of God '' was an addition of Pope Gregory the Great , a reminder that in Christianity , leadership is always about service / ministry ( diakonia ) . The style of address for the bishop of Rome is `` His Holiness '' . Election ( edit ) The present rules governing the election of a pope are found in the apostolic constitution Universi Dominici Gregis . This deals with the powers , from the death of a pope to the announcement of his successor 's election , of the cardinals and the departments of the Roman curia ; with the funeral arrangements for the dead pope ; and with the place , time and manner of voting of the meeting of the cardinal electors , a meeting known as a conclave . This word is derived from Latin com - ( together ) and clavis ( key ) and refers to the locking away of the participants from outside influences , a measure that was introduced first as a means instead of forcing them to reach a decision . Like all bishops , the pope has the option of resigning , though unlike other bishops , it is not required . The best known cases are those of Pope Celestine V in 1294 , Pope Gregory XII in 1415 and Pope Benedict XVI in 2013 . Approximately 10 % of all popes left or were removed from office before death . Patriarchs ( edit ) The heads of some autonomous ( in Latin , sui iuris ) particular Churches consisting of several local Churches ( dioceses ) have the title of Patriarch . The pope , as patriarch of the Latin Church , is the head of the only sui iuris Church in the West , leading to the relatively short - lived title Patriarch of the West ( in use 1863 -- 2006 ) . Eastern patriarchs are elected by the synod of bishops of their particular Church . The Patriarchs who head autonomous particular Churches are : The Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria ( Coptic Catholic Church ) The Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch of Antioch ( Melkite Greek Catholic Church ) The Maronite Patriarch of Antioch ( Maronite Church ) The Syriac Catholic Patriarch of Antioch ( Syriac Catholic Church ) The Armenian Catholic Patriarch of Cilicia ( Armenian Catholic Church ) The Chaldean Catholic Patriarch of Babylonia ( Chaldean Catholic Church ) These have authority not only over the bishops of their particular Church , including metropolitans , but also directly over all the faithful . Eastern Catholic patriarchs have precedence over all other bishops , with the exceptions laid down by the Pope . The honorary title prefixed to their names is `` His Beatitude '' . There are also titular patriarchs in the Latin Church , who , for various historical reasons , were granted the title , but never the corresponding office and responsibilities , of `` patriarch '' . They include the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem , the Patriarch of Venice , the Patriarch of Lisbon , and the Patriarch of the East Indies . All of these offices are honorary , and the patriarchs are not the heads of autonomous particular Churches . The Patriarch of the East Indies is the archbishop of Goa , while the other patriarchs are the archbishops of the named cities . The title of Patriarch of the West Indies was in the past granted to some Spanish bishops ( not always of the same see ) , but is long in abeyance .

The Syro - Malankara Catholic Church uses the title Catholicos for their major archbishop . With few exceptions , the authority of a major archbishop in his sui iuris Church is equivalent to that of a patriarch in his Church . This less prestigious office was established in 1963 for those Eastern Catholic Churches which have developed in size and stability to allow full self - governance if historical , ecumenical , or political conditions do not allow their elevation to a patriarchate . At present , there are four major archbishops : Major archdiocese Country Church Archbishop Ernakulam - Angamaly India Syro - Malabar Cardinal George Alencherry Făgăraş and Alba Iulia Romania Romanian Cardinal Lucian Mureșan Kiev -- Galicia Ukraine Ukrainian Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk Trivandrum India Syro - Malankara Cardinal Baselios Cleemis Cardinals ( edit ) Main article : Cardinal ( Catholicism ) A cardinal ( second from left ) and bishops Cardinals are princes of the Church appointed by the Pope . He generally chooses bishops who head departments of the Roman Curia or important episcopal sees throughout the world . As a whole , the cardinals compose a College of Cardinals which advises the Pope , and those cardinals under the age of 80 at the death or resignation of a Pope elect his successor . Their heraldic achievement is surmounted by the red galero and tassels as a form of martyred position in the Church . Not all cardinals are bishops . Domenico Bartolucci , Karl Josef Becker , Roberto Tucci and Albert Vanhoye are examples of 21st - century non-bishop cardinals . The 1917 Code of Canon Law introduced the requirement that a cardinal must be at least a priest . Previously , they need only be in minor orders and not even deacons . Teodolfo Mertel , who died in 1899 , was the last non-priest cardinal . In 1962 , Pope John XXIII made it a rule that a man who has been nominated a cardinal is required to be consecrated a bishop , if not one already , but some ask for and obtain dispensation from this requirement . It is rare that the Pope will appoint Cardinals who are priests only and not consecrated as a bishop . The 1917 Code of Canon Law , continuing the tradition observed , for instance , at the First Vatican Council , laid down that cardinals have precedence over all other prelates , even patriarchs . The 1983 Code of Canon Law did not deal with questions of precedence . The cardinalate is not an integral part of the theological structure of the Catholic Church , but largely an honorific distinction that has its origins in the 1059 assignation of the right of electing the Pope exclusively to the principal clergy of Rome and the bishops of the seven suburbicarian dioceses . Because of their resulting importance , the term cardinal ( from Latin cardo , meaning `` hinge '' ) was applied to them . In the 12th century the practice of appointing ecclesiastics from outside Rome as cardinals began . Each cardinal is still assigned a church in Rome as his `` titular church '' or is linked with one of the suburbicarian dioceses . Of these sees , the Dean of the College of Cardinals holds that of Ostia , while keeping his preceding link with one of the other six sees . Traditionally , only six cardinals held the rank of Cardinal Bishop , but when Eastern patriarchs are made cardinals , they too hold the rank of Cardinal Bishop , without being assigned a suburbicarian see . The other cardinals have the rank either of Cardinal Priest or Cardinal Deacon , the former rank being normally assigned to bishops in charge of dioceses , and the latter to officials of the Curia and to priests raised to the cardinalate . Primates ( edit ) The Latin Church title of primate has in some countries been granted to the bishop of a particular ( usually metropolitan ) see . It once involved authority over all the other sees in the country or region , but now only gives a `` prerogative of honor '' with no power of governance unless an exception is made in certain matters by a privilege granted by the Holy See or by an approved custom . The title is usually assigned to the ordinary of the first diocese or the oldest archdiocese in the country . Thus in Poland , the primate is the archbishop of the oldest archdiocese ( Gniezno , founded in 1000 ) , and not the oldest diocese ( Poznań , founded in 968 ) . Notably , the Archbishop of Baltimore is not formally considered a primate of the Catholic Church in the United States , but `` prerogative of the place '' . The closest equivalent position in Eastern Orthodoxy is an exarch holding authority over other bishops without being a patriarch . In the Eastern Catholic Churches , exarchs , whether apostolic or patriarchal , do not hold authority over other bishops ( see below , # Equivalents of diocesan bishops in law ) . Metropolitans ( edit ) Archbishop Robert Carlson , Metropolitan Archbishop of St. Louis . Note his wearing of the pallium . A Latin Church Metropolitan is the bishop of the principal ( the `` metropolitan '' ) see of an ecclesiastical province composed of several dioceses . The metropolitan receives a pallium from the pope as a symbol of his office . The metropolitan bishop has limited oversight authority over the suffragan dioceses in their province , including ensuring that the faith and ecclesiastical discipline are properly observed . He also has the power to name a diocesan administrator for a vacant suffragan see if the diocesan council of consultors fails to properly elect one . His diocesan tribunal additionally serves by default as the ecclesiastical court of appeal for suffragans ( court of second instance ) , and the metropolitan has the option of judging those appeals personally . Eastern metropolitans in patriarchal or major archiepiscopal churches have a level of authority similar to that of Latin metropolitans , subject to the specific laws and customs of their sui iuris church . Eastern metropolitans who head a metropolitan sui iuris church have much greater authority within their church , although it is less than that of a major archbishop or patriarch . All metropolitans have the title of Archbishop , and the metropolitan see is usually referred to as an archdiocese or archeparchy , a title held not only by the 553 metropolitan sees but also by 77 other sees . An exception is the metropolitan Diocese of Rome . Archbishops ( edit ) The title of archbishop is held not only by bishops who head metropolitan sees , but also by those who head archdioceses that are not metropolitan sees ( most of these are in Europe and the Levant ) . In addition , it is held by certain other bishops , referred to as `` Titular Archbishops '' ( see `` Other Bishops '' below ) who have been given no - longer - residential archdioceses as their titular sees -- many of these in administrative or diplomatic posts , for instance as papal nuncios or secretaries of curial congregations . The bishop of a non-archiepiscopal see may be given the personal title of archbishop without also elevating his see ( such a bishop is known as an archbishop ad personam ) , though this practice has seen significantly reduced usage since the Second Vatican Council . Diocesan bishops ( edit ) The bishop or eparch of a see , even if he does not also hold a title such as Archbishop , Metropolitan , Major Archbishop , Patriarch or Pope , is the centre of unity for his diocese or eparchy , and , as a member of the College of Bishops , shares in responsibility for governance of the whole Church ( cf . Catechism of the Catholic Church , 886 ) . As each local particular Church is an embodiment of the whole Catholic Church , not just an administrative subdivision of something larger , the bishop who is its head is not a delegate of the Pope . Instead , he has of himself primary teaching , governance and sanctifying responsibility for the see for which he has been ordained bishop . Within each diocese , even if the Eucharist is celebrated by another bishop , the necessary communion with the Bishop of the diocese is signified by the mention of his name . In Eastern eparchies the name of the patriarch , major archbishop or metropolitan is also mentioned , because these also have direct responsibility within all the eparchies of the particular Church in question . For the same reason , every Catholic celebration of the Eucharist has a mention of the Pope by name . Ordination to the episcopate is the fullness of the priesthood and the completion of the sacrament of Holy Orders . Bishops are considered the successors of the apostles . Within the Catholic Church the following posts have similarities to that of a diocesan bishop , but are not necessarily held by a bishop . Equivalents of diocesan bishops in Law ( edit ) Canon 368 of the Code of Canon Law lists five Latin Church jurisdictional areas that are considered equivalent to a diocese . These are headed by : A Territorial Prelate , formerly called a Prelate nullius dioceseos ( of no diocese ) , in charge of a geographical area that has not yet been raised to the level of diocese A Territorial Abbot , in charge of an area , which in mission countries can be quite vast , associated with an abbey A Vicar Apostolic ( normally a bishop of a titular see ) , in charge of an apostolic vicariate , usually in a mission country , not yet ready to be made a diocese A Prefect Apostolic ( usually not a bishop ) , in charge of an apostolic prefecture , not yet ready to be made an apostolic vicariate A Permanent Apostolic Administrator , in charge of a geographical area that for serious reasons can not be made a diocese . To these may be added : An Apostolic Exarch ( normally a bishop of a titular see ) , in charge of an apostolic exarchate -- not yet ready to be made an eparchy -- for the faithful of an Eastern Catholic Church in an area that is situated outside the home territory of that Eastern Church . A Patriarchal Exarch , a bishop in charge of a patriarchal exarchate -- not yet ready to be made an eparchy -- for the faithful of an Eastern Catholic Church in an area situated within the home territory of that patriarchal Eastern Church . A Military Ordinary , serving Catholics in a country 's armed forces A Personal Prelate , in charge of a group of persons without regard to geography : the only personal prelature existing is that of Opus Dei . An Apostolic Administrator of a Personal Apostolic Administration : only one exists , the Personal Apostolic Administration of Saint John Mary Vianney An Ordinary of a personal ordinariate for former Anglicans A Superior of an autonomous mission Of somewhat similar standing is the Diocesan Administrator ( formerly called a Vicar Capitular ) elected to govern a diocese during a vacancy . Apart from certain limitations of nature and law , he has , on a caretaker basis , the same obligations and powers as a Diocesan Bishop ( canons 427 -- 429 of the Code of Canon Law ) . Occasionally an Apostolic Administrator is appointed by the Holy See to run a vacant diocese , or even a diocese whose bishop is incapacitated or otherwise impeded . Other bishops ( edit ) A Diocesan Bishop may have bishops who assist in his ministry . The Coadjutor Bishop of a see has the right of succession on the death or resignation of the Diocesan Bishop , and , if the see is an archdiocese , holds the title of Archbishop . Similarly , a retired Diocesan Bishop keeps his connection with the see to which he was appointed , and is known as Bishop ( or Archbishop ) Emeritus of that see . On the other hand , an Auxiliary Bishop , who may also hold posts such as vicar general or episcopal vicar , is appointed bishop of a titular see , a see that in the course of history has ceased to exist as an actual jurisdictional unit . The titular sees -- which may be archiepiscopal or simply episcopal -- assigned to such bishops were once known as sees in partibus infidelium , because they were situated in areas lost to Christianity as a result of Muslim conquests . Now former sees even in Christian countries are assigned as titular sees . These sees are also assigned to bishops who serve in the Roman Curia , as Papal Nuncios , or as equivalents of Diocesan Bishops in law ( see above ) , such as Vicars Apostolic and Apostolic Exarchs . The term `` Titular Bishop '' is frequently used for such bishops , but is , strictly speaking , inaccurate , since they are indeed bishops , even if they do not serve the see to which they are appointed , and are not merely holders of an honorary title of bishop . They are members of the College of Bishops as much as the Diocesan Bishops . In most English - speaking countries , the honorary title prefixed to the name of a bishop is `` The Most Reverend '' . However , in the United Kingdom and in those countries most strongly influenced by English ( not Irish ) practice , `` The Most Reverend '' is reserved for archbishops , and other bishops are called `` The Right Reverend '' . Important titles or functions usually , but not necessarily , held by ( arch ) bishops who are not in charge of a diocese or an equivalent community include those of Apostolic Delegate , Apostolic Nuncio , Papal Legate , Patriarchal Vicar , Pontifical Delegate . Ordinaries and local ordinaries ( edit ) Main article : Ordinary ( officer ) Local ordinaries are placed over or exercise ordinary executive power in particular churches or equivalent communities . The Supreme Pontiff ( the Pope ) is a local ordinary for the whole Catholic Church . In Eastern Catholic Churches , Patriarchs , major archbishops , and metropolitans have ordinary power of governance for the whole territory of their respective autonomous particular churches . Diocesan / eparchial bishops / eparchs Other prelates who head , even if only temporarily , a particular church or a community equivalent to it ( see above # Equivalents of diocesan bishops in law ) Vicars general and protosyncelli Main article : Vicar general Episcopal vicars and syncelli Main article : Vicar general Major superiors of religious institutes ( including abbots ) and of societies of apostolic life are ordinaries of their respective memberships , but not local ordinaries . Presbyterate ( edit ) Main article : Priesthood in the Catholic Church In general ( edit ) Bishops are assisted by priests and deacons . All priests and deacons are incardinated in a diocese or religious order . Parishes , whether territorial or person - based , within a diocese are normally in the charge of a priest , known as the parish priest or the pastor . In the Latin Church , only celibate men , as a rule , are ordained as priests , while the Eastern Churches , again as a rule , ordain both celibate and married men . Among the Eastern particular Churches , the Ethiopic Catholic Church ordains only celibate clergy , while also having married priests who were ordained in the Orthodox Church , while other Eastern Catholic Churches , which do ordain married men , do not have married priests in certain countries . The Western or Latin Church does sometimes , though rarely , ordain married men , usually Protestant clergy who have become Catholics . All sui iuris Churches of the Catholic Church maintain the ancient tradition that , following ordination , marriage is not allowed . Even a married priest whose wife dies may not then marry again . The Catholic Church and the ancient Christian Churches see priestly ordination as a sacrament dedicating the person ordained to a permanent relationship of service , and , like Baptism and Confirmation , having an ontological effect on the person . It is for this reason that a person may be ordained to each of the three orders only once . They also consider that ordination can be conferred only on males . Priests in service outside their diocese ( edit ) Although priests are incardinated into a diocese or order , they may obtain the permission of their diocesan ordinary or religious superior to serve outside the normal jurisdiction of the diocese or order . These assignments may be temporary or more permanent in nature . Temporary assignments may include studying for an advanced degree at a Pontifical University in Rome . They may also include short - term assignments to the faculty of a seminary located outside the diocese 's territory . Long - term assignments include serving the universal church on the staff of a dicastery or tribunal of the Roman Curia or in the diplomatic corps of the Holy See . They may also be appointed the rector or to long - term teaching assignments to the faculty of a seminary or Catholic university . Priests may also serve on the staff of their episcopal conference , as military chaplains in the military ordinariates , or as missionaries . Positions within a diocese at diocesan level ( edit ) The diocesan bishop appoints a vicar general to assist him in the governance of the diocese . Usually , only one vicar general is appointed ; particularly large dioceses may have more than one vicar general . The vicar general or one of them is usually appointed moderator of the curia who coordinates the diocesan administrative offices and ministries . A diocesan bishop can also appoint one or more episcopal vicars for the diocese . They have the same ordinary power as a vicar general , however , it is limited to a specified division of the diocese , to a specific type of activity , to the faithful of a particular rite , or to certain groups of people . Vicars general and episcopal vicars must be priests or bishops . In the Eastern Catholic Churches , they are called protosyncelli and syncelli ( canon 191 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches ) . Diocesan bishops are required to appoint a judicial vicar to whom is delegated the bishop 's ordinary power to judge cases ( canon 1420 of the Code of Canon Law , canon 191 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches ) . In the Latin church , the judicial vicar may also be called officialis . The person holding this post must be a priest , have earned a doctorate in canon law ( or at least a license ) , be at least thirty years old , and , unless the smallness of the diocese or the limited number of cases suggests otherwise , must not be the vicar general . As one of the jobs of the judicial vicar is to preside over collegiate tribunals , many dioceses have adjutant judicial vicars who can preside over collegiate tribunals in place of the judicial vicar and must have the same qualifications . The diocesan bishop appoints a chancellor , possibly a vice-chancellor , and notaries to the diocesan chancery . These officials maintain the records and archives of the diocese . They also serve as the secretaries of the diocesan curia . The bishop also appoints a finance officer and a finance council to oversee the budget , temporal goods , income , and expenses of the diocese . The diocesan bishop may appoint priests to be members of the chapter of his cathedral or of a collegiate church ( so called after their chapter ) . These priests are given the title of canon . He also appoints six to twelve priests from the presbyteral council to serve as a college of consultors . They have the responsibility to elect the diocesan administrator in the event of the vacancy of the see . The bishop appoints priests and other members of the faithful to various advisory bodies . These include the presbyteral council , the diocesan synod , and the pastoral council . Vicars forane or deans ( edit ) `` The Vicar Forane known also as the Dean or the Archpriest or by some other title , is the priest who is placed in charge of a vicariate forane '' ( canon 553 of the Code of Canon Law ) , namely of a group of parishes within a diocese . Unlike a regional Episcopal Vicar , a Vicar Forane acts as a help for the Parish Priests and other priests in the vicariate forane , rather than as an intermediate authority between them and the Diocesan Bishop . Parish priest / pastor ( edit ) This section concerns the priest who in the Code of Canon Law is referred to by the term parochus , which is some English - speaking countries is rendered as `` the parish priest '' , in others as `` the pastor '' . The English term `` pastor '' is also used in a more generic sense corresponding instead to the Latin term pastor : The parish priest is the proper pastor of the parish entrusted to him . He exercises the pastoral care of the community entrusted to him under the authority of the diocesan Bishop , whose ministry of Christ he is called to share , so that for this community he may carry out the offices of teaching , sanctifying and ruling with the cooperation of other priests or deacons and with the assistance of lay members of Christ 's faithful , in accordance with the law -- canon 519 of the Code of Canon Law in the English translation by the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland , assisted by the Canon Law Society of Australia and New Zealand and the Canadian Canon Law Society The pastor ( parochus ) is the proper pastor ( pastor ) of the parish entrusted to him , exercising the pastoral care of the community committed to him under the authority of the diocesan bishop in whose ministry of Christ he has been called to share , so that for that same community he carries out the functions of teaching , sanctifying , and governing , also with the cooperation of other presbyters or deacons and with the assistance of lay members of the Christian faithful , according to the norm of law -- canon 519 of the Code of Canon Law in the English translation by the Canon Law Society of America ) . Assistant priests / parochial vicars ( edit ) The parish priest / pastor may be assisted by one or more other priests : Whenever it is necessary or opportune for the due pastoral care of the parish , one or more assistant priests can be joined with the parish priest . As cooperators with the parish priest and sharers in his concern , they are , by common counsel and effort with the parish priest and under his authority , to labour in the pastoral ministry -- canon 545 of the Code of Canon Law in the English translation by the Canon Law Society of Great Britain and Ireland , assisted by the Canon Law Society of Australia and New Zealand and the Canadian Canon Law Society Whenever it is necessary or opportune in order to carry out the pastoral care of a parish fittingly , one or more parochial vicars can be associated with the pastor . As co-workers with the pastor and sharers in his solicitude , they are to offer service in the pastoral ministry by common counsel and effort with the pastor and under his authority -- canon 545 of the Code of Canon Law in the English translation by the Canon Law Society of America Honorary titles ( edit ) The honorary title of monsignor is conferred by the Pope upon diocesan priests ( not members of religious institutes ) in the service of the Holy See , and may be granted by him also to other diocesan priests at the request of the priest 's bishop . The priest so honored is considered to be a member of the papal household . The title goes with any of the following three awards : Chaplain of His Holiness ( called Papal Chamberlain until a 1969 reform ) , the lowest level , distinguished by purple buttons and trim on the black cassock , with a purple sash . Honorary Prelate ( until 1969 called Domestic Prelate ) , the middle level , distinguished by red buttons and trim on the black cassock , with a purple sash , and by choir dress that includes a purple cassock . Protonotary Apostolic , the highest level , with the same dress as that of an Honorary Prelate , except that the non-obligatory purple silk cape known as a ferraiolo may be worn also . In December 2013 , Pope Francis decided to make future grants of the title of Monsignor to priests not in the service of the Holy See only in the rank of Chaplain of His Holiness and only to priests aged 65 or over . Under legislation of Pope Pius X , vicars general and vicars capitular ( the latter are now called diocesan administrators ) are titular ( not actual ) Protonotaries durante munere , i.e. , as long as they hold those offices , and so are entitled to be addressed as Monsignor , as indicated also by the placing of the abbreviated title `` Mons . '' before the name of every member of the secular ( diocesan ) clergy listed as a vicar general in the Annuario Pontificio . ( Honorary titles such as that of `` Monsignor '' are not considered appropriate for religious . ) Some of the Eastern Catholic Churches of Syriac tradition use the title Chorbishop , roughly equivalent to the Western title of Monsignor . Other Eastern Catholic Churches bestow the honorific title of Archimandrite upon unmarried priests as a mark of respect or gratitude for their services . Married presbyters may be honored with the position of Archpriest , which has two grades , the higher is `` Mitred Archpriest '' which permits the priest to wear a mitre . In the Latin Church titles of Archpriest is sometimes attached to the pastor of a few number of historic churches including the major basilicas in Rome . These archpriests are not presbyers , but bishops or cardinals . Similarly , the title of Archdeacon is sometimes conferred on presbyters . Diaconate ( edit ) Deacons are ordained ministers of the Church who are co-workers with the bishop alongside presbyters , but are intended to focus on the ministries of direct service and outreach to the poor and needy , rather than pastoral leadership . They are usually related to a parish , where they have a liturgical function as the ordinary minister of the Gospel and the Prayers of the Faithful , They may preach homilies , and in the Roman Rite , may preside at non-Eucharistic liturgies such as baptisms , weddings , funerals , and adoration / benediction . In the Eastern Catholic Churches , in the absence of a priest , deacons do not vest and may only lead services as a reader , never presiding at weddings or funerals . The scriptural basis and description of the role and qualifications of the deacon can be found in Acts 6 : 1 -- 9 , and in 1 Timothy 3 : 1 -- 13 . They may be seminarians preparing for ordination to the priesthood , `` transitional deacons '' , or `` permanent deacons '' who do not intend to be ordained as priests . To be ordained deacons , the latter must be at least 25 years old , if unmarried ; if married , a prospective deacon must be at least 35 years old and have the consent of his wife . In the Latin Church , married deacons are permanent deacons . In most diocese there is a cut - off age for being accepted into formation for the diaconate . The passage from membership of the laity to that of the clergy occurs with ordination to the diaconate . Previously , the Latin Church rule was that one became a cleric on receiving clerical tonsure , which was followed by minor orders and by the subdiaconate , which was reckoned as one of the major orders . By his motu proprio Ministeria quaedam of 15 August 1972 , Pope Paul VI decreed : `` The orders hitherto called minor are henceforth to be spoken of as ' ministries ' . '' The same motu proprio also decreed that the Latin Church would no longer have the major order of subdiaconate , but it permitted any episcopal conference that so desired to apply the term `` subdeacon '' to those who hold the ministry ( formerly called the minor order ) of `` acolyte '' . Even in those societies within the Latin Church that , with the approval of the Holy See , continue to administer the rites of tonsure , minor orders and subdiaconate , those who receive those rites remain lay people , becoming clerics only on being ordained as deacons . Laity ( edit ) Most of the people of God are the laity , a term derived from Greek λαὸς Θεοῦ ( Laos Theou ) , meaning `` people of God '' . All Christian faithful have the right and duty to bring the gospel message increasingly to `` all people in every age and every land '' . They all have a share in the Church 's mission and have the right to undertake apostolic activity according to their own state and condition . Lay ministry can take the form of exercising the priesthood of all the baptized , and more specifically undertaking the work of catechists . serving the Church pastorally , administratively , and in other ways , including the liturgical services as acolytes , lectors , cantors , and the like , initiation sponsors , pastoral care ministers , and members of parish and diocesan consultative bodies . Some lay Catholics carry out full - time professional and vocational service in the name of the Church , rather than in a secular calling . Though the phenomenon is widespread in North America and much of Europe , the organization and definition of the ministry is left to national bishops conferences . The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has adopted the term lay ecclesial ministry for these individuals , as intentionally distinct from the general apostolate or ministry of the laity described above . The consultative leadership of the church , in both the diocese and the parish , usually comprises a Pastoral Council and a Finance Council , as well as several Commissions usually focusing on major aspects of the church 's life and mission , such as Faith Formation or Christian Education , Liturgy , Social Justice , Ecumenism , or Stewardship . Religious ( edit ) See also : Religious institute ( Catholic ) Religious -- who can be either lay people or clergy -- are members of religious institutes , societies in which the members take public vows and live a fraternal life in common . This is a form of consecrated life distinct from other forms , such as that of secular institutes . It is distinct also from forms that do not involve membership of an institute , such as that of consecrated hermits , that of consecrated virgins , and other forms whose approval is reserved to the Holy See . Religious institutes have historically been subdivided into the categories of orders and congregations .

Although Barbie has appeared in miniseries and short films since 1987 , the series officially began in 2001 with Barbie in the Nutcracker which is tagged as `` ( Barbie ) Starring in Her First ( Feature - length ) Movie '' . It is followed by a total of thirty - five films while the series is on hiatus as of 2017 . Other appearances of Barbie as a character in other films including Mattel 's My Scene line as well as the Toy Story film series are not considered part of the franchise . Created by Mattel Creations ( formerly Mattel Entertainment ) , the films have sold more than 27 million units worldwide , as of 2006 . The Barbie films and their plot lines center on Barbie as a singular CGI actress , and often frame Barbie as a modern girl telling the story to a younger friend while simultaneously starring in the film . Scholars examining how the Barbie films differ from Disney and other princess narratives have concluded that Mattel intentionally attempted to remediate its brand based on feminist criticisms through story - telling in the films . Barbie is always placed as the central heroine of the story , with male characters and romantic interests serving as secondary to the plot . Contents ( hide ) 1 Origins 2 Films 3 Live action film adaptation 4 References 5 External links Origins ( edit ) Barbie 's popularity on the toy market began to decline in the 1990s , and struggled further when MGA Entertainment introduced a line of Bratz dolls , whose sexualized characters contrasted with Barbie 's older , chaste image . Mattel therefore attempted to overhaul the Barbie brand to keep the toy relevant to consumers in the modern age by bringing in consultants and conducting research on key market groups . Mattel consultants initially considered reducing the Barbie 's breast size , but later claimed that the doll 's figure could not be changed because `` being consistent is one of her biggest strengths . '' This move might also have been rejected because of the success of the sexualized Bratz dolls of Mattel 's competitors . Mattel 's team also considered targeting market audiences of career women and their daughters by introducing lines of Doctor or Lawyer Barbies . However , Mattel 's research showed that girls were spending more time online than playing with physical dolls . Therefore , targeted career Barbies were discarded in favor of looking for more interactive platforms through online or digital media . This resulted in the creation of the Barbie film series , which initially revolved around Barbie being reimagined a princess and eventually expanded into various worlds of fashion and fantasy . A primary benefit of this strategy revolved around marketing , as Mattel could sell dolls specific to each film separately from the DVDs and merchandise related to props , costumes , and sets from the films . Tim Kilpin , the senior vice-president for girls marketing at Mattel , stated that `` What you see now are several different Barbie worlds anchored by content and storytelling . A girl can understand what role Barbie is playing , what the other characters are doing , and how they interrelate . That 's a much richer level of story that leads to a richer level of play . '' The strategy worked : US Barbie sales , led by the princess line , `` increased by two percent in 2006 , saving Mattel 's bottom line at a time when its worldwide share of the toy market was declining . '' Within the films , Mattel includes performances by well - known companies and orchestras , such as the London Symphony Orchestra , the Czech Philharmonic and the New York City Ballet . These associations could have been included as an enrichment strategy on behalf of Mattel 's marketing team , to help the films be seen as educational .

Sony Pictures and Mattel are developing a comedic live - action Barbie movie with Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald producing and Jenny Bicks writing the film . On March 4 , 2015 it was announced that Diablo Cody will be doing rewrites on the script . In December 2015 it was announced that Sony would hire three different writers to write scripts , and that they would choose the best one . They are working with the draft written by Hilary Winston . On August 5 , 2015 , Sony Pictures set the film 's release date on June 2 , 2017 . On December 2 , 2016 , The Hollywood Reporter reported that Amy Schumer had been cast as Barbie . It also reported that minor changes would be made in terms of the character and the story itself , centering on a Barbie , who after she is exiled from a world full of Barbies , enters the real world as a normal woman who is imperfect . On March 23 , 2017 , The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Schumer had dropped out of the project due to scheduling conflicts ; similar reports stated that the film was without a director . In August 2017 , it was announced that Anne Hathaway would star as the titular character and that up - and - coming director Alethea Jones would helm the film . Originally scheduled for release on May 12 , 2017 , it was reported that the live - action film adaptation was pushed back and was set for a June 29 , 2018 release in the United States ; it was later pushed back to August 8 , 2018 . The film would later move its release date to May 8 , 2020 . On April 26 , 2018 , Diablo Cody announced she has dropped out of the project . Cody said that she spent too much time involved working on the screenplay for Tully to focus on writing the live action Barbie movie and that she does n't feel she is the right person to write the script .

5595845956101028312 | Military history of New Zealand during World War I | Military History of New Zealand during World war I - wikipedia Military History of New Zealand during World war I Jump to : navigation , search New Zealand troops unloading at a French port in 1918 . The military history of New Zealand during World War I began in August 1914 when Great Britain declared war on Germany at the start of the First World War , the New Zealand government followed without hesitation , despite its geographic isolation and small population . It was believed at the time that any declaration of war by the United Kingdom automatically included New Zealand . The total number of New Zealand troops and nurses to serve overseas in 1914 -- 18 , excluding those in British and other Dominion forces , was 100,444 , from a population of just over a million . Forty - two percent of men of military age served in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force , fighting in the Gallipoli Campaign and on the Western Front . 16,697 New Zealanders were killed and 41,317 were wounded during the war -- a 58 percent casualty rate . Approximately a further thousand men died within five years of the war 's end , as a result of injuries sustained , and 507 died while training in New Zealand between 1914 and 1918 . The First World War saw Māori soldiers serve for the first time in a major conflict with the New Zealand Army ( although a number had fought in the Second Boer War when New Zealand recruiters chose to ignore British military policy of the time of disallowing ' native ' soldiers ) . A contingent took part in the Gallipoli Campaign , and later served with distinction on the Western Front as part of the New Zealand ( Māori ) Pioneer Battalion. 2688 Māori and 346 Pacific islanders , including 150 Niueans , served with New Zealand forces in total . Contents ( hide ) 1 Outbreak of the war 2 Samoa 3 Middle East 3.1 Training in Egypt 3.2 Gallipoli , Turkey 3.3 Evacuation from Gallipoli 3.4 Palestine Campaign 4 Training in England 5 Western Front 6 Other theatres 7 Recruiting and Conscription 8 Hospitals 9 Repatriation 10 Cemeteries and Memorials 11 See also 12 Notes 13 References 14 External links Outbreak of the war ( edit ) Upon the outbreak of the war , the New Zealand Government authorised the raising of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force ( NZEF ) for service overseas . Mobilisation for the NZEF had already begun , with preparations discreetly beginning a few days prior to the declaration of war . Samoa ( edit ) Main article : Occupation of German Samoa The Union Flag being raised at the courthouse at Apia on 30 August 1914 The day after the declaration of war , the British Government requested New Zealand seize the wireless station on the island of Upolu , part of Imperial Germany 's protectorate of German Samoa , deeming it an `` a great and urgent Imperial service . '' A mixed force of 1,413 men , known as the Samoan Expeditionary Force ( SEF ) under the command of Colonel Robert Logan , plus six nursing sisters , sailed from New Zealand on 15 August 1914 . After stopping in Fiji to collect some guides and interpreters as well as additional escort ships , the New Zealanders arrived at Apia on 29 August 1914 . Germany refused to officially surrender the islands but with only a minimal military presence , there was little prospect for meaningful resistance . The Governor of German Samoa , Dr. Erich Schultz , sent a message from the island 's radio station that no resistance would be offered . The New Zealanders proceeded to land at Apia and seized key buildings and facilities without interference . The only opposition encountered was at the radio station , where the equipment was sabotaged by the German operators . Logan officially declared German Samoa to be under the control of New Zealand the following day , 30 August 1914 , in a ceremony at the courthouse in Apia . When Vizeadmiral ( Vice Admiral ) Maximilian von Spee , commander of Germany 's East Asia Squadron , learned of the occupation , he hastened to Samoa with the armoured cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau . Arriving at Apia on 14 September 1914 , the approach of the German ships was observed and the New Zealanders prepared to defend themselves . However , von Spee and his ships soon departed for Tahiti , with neither side opening fire . The SEF remained in Samoa until March 1915 at which time it began returning to New Zealand , a process completed by the following month . Middle east ( edit ) Training in Egypt ( edit ) Map of the landing at Anzac Cove on 25 April 1915 As early as October 1914 the main body of the NZEF sailed from Wellington . Diverted from their original destination in Europe , the New Zealanders were landed in Egypt , where they helped repulse a Turkish attack on the Suez Canal in February 1915 . The New Zealand volunteer soldiers remained encamped in Egypt , alongside their Australian comrades , undergoing training prior to being sent to France . Gallipoli , Turkey ( edit ) On 25 April 1915 , as part of the New Zealand and Australian Division , the New Zealanders landed at Anzac Cove on the Gallipoli peninsula , and fought in the Gallipoli Campaign under the command of British General Alexander Godley . The combined British Empire and French operation was mounted in order to eventually capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople ( now Istanbul ) . Because of a navigational error , the Anzacs came ashore about a mile north of the intended landing point in their initial landing . Instead of facing the expected beach and gentle slope they found themselves at the bottom of steep cliffs , offering the few Turkish defenders an ideal defensive position . Establishing a foothold , the Anzacs found an advance to be impossible . On 30 April 1915 , when the first news of the landing reached New Zealand a half - day holiday was declared and impromptu services were held -- the origin of the commemorative public holiday , ANZAC Day , recognised by New Zealand and Australia and held each year on 25 April . Evacuation from Gallipoli ( edit ) Despite the blunder at ANZAC Cove , the New Zealand soldiers fought valiantly throughout the campaign but it was a failed venture overall . The estimated casualties on both sides were 392,000 of whom 131,000 were killed , with New Zealand casualties of 2,721 dead and 4,852 wounded . The Allied forces eventually evacuated in December 1915 and early January 1916 . The significance of the Gallipoli Campaign was strongly felt in New Zealand ( and Australia ) where it was the first great conflict experienced by the fledgling nation . Before Gallipoli the citizens of New Zealand were confident of the superiority of the British Empire and were proud and eager to offer their service . The campaign in Gallipoli shook that confidence . The New Zealand Rifle Brigade ( less two battalions ) had meanwhile reached Egypt in November 1915 and was sent into the Egyptian desert to help defeat a Senussi invasion from Libya . The 1st Battalion fought two brisk but inexpensive actions south - west of Matruh as part of a mixed force ( including British , Australians , and Indians ) , one on Christmas Day , the other on 23 January 1916 . Both were successful and broke the back of the invasion . In mid-February the 1st Battalion rejoined the rest of the brigade at Moascar in the Suez Canal area . Palestine Campaign ( edit ) In Egypt , the New Zealand Expeditionary Force was reorganised into the New Zealand Mounted Brigade and the New Zealand Division ( infantry ) . Reinforcements from New Zealand replaced the Australian component of the division , which embarked for France in April 1916 . The New Zealand Mounted Brigade , 147 officers and 2,897 other ranks , remained in Egypt as part of the Anzac Mounted Division . In April 1916 , it was deployed to the Sinai Peninsula where it took part in the ultimately successful Sinai and Palestine Campaign against the Turks . New Zealanders fought in most of the battles leading up to the fall of Jerusalem and the defeat of the Ottoman Army , and were praised for their fighting alongside their Australian and British comrades . In 1919 , Field Marshal Sir Edmund Allenby , said this of the New Zealand soldiers in the Sinai campaign ; `` Nothing daunted these intrepid fighters : to them nothing was impossible . '' A total of 17,723 New Zealanders served in this campaign and New Zealand casualties were 640 killed in action and 1,146 wounded . Training in England ( edit ) While in England -- either freshly arrived from New Zealand or having already served at Gallipoli and awaiting transfer to the Western Front -- New Zealand troops were stationed at Sling Camp , an annexe of Bulford Camp in Wiltshire . The troops who were still stationed at the camp at the end of the war created the giant chalk kiwi known as the Bulford Kiwi whilst waiting to be repatriated . Western Front ( edit ) Infantry from the 2nd Battalion , Auckland Regiment , New Zealand Division in the Switch Line near Flers , taken some time in September 1916 , after the Battle of Flers - Courcelette In France , the New Zealand Division settled in on the stalemated Western Front and their first major trial was during the Battle of the Somme . It took part in the Fourth Army 's attack on 15 September , under the command of the British XV Corps . By the time they were relieved on 4 October , the New Zealanders had advanced three kilometres and captured eight kilometres of enemy front line . 7,048 had become casualties , of whom 1,560 were killed . In June 1917 , the New Zealand Division further distinguished itself in the storming of Messines Ridge and the capture of the village of Messines . On 7 June , after the detonation of nearly 500 tons of explosives in huge mines on both sides of the New Zealand sector , the 2nd and 3rd Brigades scrambled over the top , in and out of shell holes , and up the battered slopes . Carrying the German front line and supports , they were soon into the ruined village . The 1st Brigade passed through , helped on the left by a solitary tank , to the final objective . With prisoners and booty including many guns it was a striking success at no great cost ; but the German artillery revived and by the time the division was relieved on 9 and 10 June it had lost 3,700 men , evenly distributed between the three brigades . The New Zealand Division 's next major engagement was at Passchendaele in October 1917 . The division had been training since the end of August to overcome the numerous concrete pillboxes in this sector . The first objective was the Gravenstafel Spur , attacked before dawn on 4 October , as part of a major advance . The 1st and 4th Brigades forestalled a heavy German counter-attack , and the supporting artillery barrage inflicted frightful slaughter on the waiting Germans . Crossing this scene of carnage , the 1st and 4th Brigades gained their objectives after a hard fight , inflicting exceptionally heavy loss on the enemy and capturing much equipment . For such a resounding success the 1,700 New Zealand casualties , though a sad loss , did not in current terms seem excessive . But heavy rain turned the countryside into a bog and tragedy lay ahead . A British attack on the ninth on Bellevue Spur and part of the main Passchendaele ridge gained a little ground at prohibitive cost . Heavy swathes of barbed wire still girdled the hillside , however , and belated and meagre heavy artillery made no impression on them , nor on the many pillboxes beyond . New Zealand gunners slaved to breaking point to get only a few guns and howitzers forward , but stable platforms and accurate fire were unattainable . The division returned to the attack on 12 October , with the 2nd and 3rd Brigades . There was little to encourage the men as they waited overnight in a morass under steady rain . Shelled in their assembly area , some were shelled again by their own guns when the thin barrage opened at 5.25 a.m. , and then they led off into a deluge of small - arms fire , speckled with geyser - like eruptions as shells exploded in the mud . Worst of all was the wire , covered with deadly fire , its few gaps deliberate deathtraps . Some men tried to crawl under it , some threw themselves at it , two got right through and were killed in the act of hurling grenades at the loopholes of the nearest pillbox . The left gained 500 yards of slippery slope , the centre 200 heartbreaking yards , the right nothing until the 80 - odd occupants of two blockhouses and a trench used up all their ammunition . Then they were captured , blockhouses and all , by two brave and skillful men , sole survivors of two Otago platoons . For these small gains , the New Zealanders suffered 640 dead and 2,100 wounded . For the first time the division had failed in a major operation . After this failure , the division continued to hold a sector of the line . The steady drain of men while units only held the line was less spectacular , though it made up half the losses of the division . Here , before withdrawing from the front , 400 more men were lost in the 4th Brigade alone . The division now had four brigades , making it one of the largest on the Western Front , and was stationed in the Polygon Wood area . An attack by the 2nd Brigade on 3 December 1917 gained useful ground but failed to capture Polderhoek Chateau . When the division was relieved , on 24 February 1918 , three `` quiet '' months had cost 3,000 men , more than 1,873 of them killed . As the Germans launched their great Spring Offensive of 1918 , the New Zealand Division was rushed to stem a breakthrough in the First Battle of the Somme , which threatened Amiens . The gap was between the British IV and V Corps in the Ancre Valley . After confused fighting , the New Zealanders eventually gained the upper hand and soon were counter-attacking advantageous land , stabilising the British line . Later in the year , they excelled in the open country fighting that was brought about by the Allied counter-offensive . The advance of the New Zealand Division -- part of the Third Army 's IV Corps -- during the 100 Days Offensive . In their last action of the war , the division captured the ancient fortress ( Vauban - designed ) town of Le Quesnoy in a daring assault on 4 November 1918 . The day proved to be the division 's most successful of their whole time on the Western Front as they pushed east and advanced ten kilometres , capturing 2,000 German soldiers and 60 field guns . The town occupied a strategic position in north - eastern France and had been held by the Germans since 1914 . Although with no specific orders indicating that the town need to be captured with any haste , the New Zealand soldiers were determined to and just before midday the first New Zealand troops reached the outer walls and scaled them with ladders . Propping the ladders against the precariously narrow inner walls , sections of one New Zealand battalion ascended the walls and engaged in hand - to - hand fighting with fleeing German defenders . The few thousand strong German garrison surrendered soon after New Zealand soldiers entered the town itself . The infantry were relieved on the eastern side of the forest at midnight on 5 -- 6 November and the war ended five days later . The division left the Third Army on 28 November , and marched through Belgium , to entrain at the German frontier for Cologne and take up billets in neighbouring towns as part of the army of occupation . Demobilisation soon started and at Mülheim near Cologne the division was finally disbanded on 25 March 1919 . The cost of maintaining the division for two and a half years on the Western Front was appalling . Altogether some 13,250 New Zealanders died of wounds or sickness as a direct result of this campaign , including 50 as prisoners of war and more than 700 at home . Another 35,000 were wounded , and 414 prisoners of war were ultimately repatriated . The total casualties therefrom approached 50,000 , well over half the number of those who served in France or Belgium . Other theatres ( edit ) New Zealand also contributed to the war at sea . The New Zealand Naval Forces was a Division of the Royal Navy . Immediately after the start of the war , the cruiser HMS Philomel , loaned to New Zealand as a training ship , was augmented with 70 New Zealand reservists and sailed with two Royal Navy cruisers to escort the New Zealand troops sent to occupy German Samoa . Later in 1914 these three ships also escorted the New Zealand Expeditionary Force to Egypt . From January 1915 , Philomel patrolled the Gulf of Alexandretta in the Eastern Mediterranean , supporting several landings and sustaining three fatal casualties , one being the first New Zealander killed in action in the war . She also took part in the defence of the Suez Canal , operations in the Gulf of Aden and patrols in the Persian Gulf . Although refitting from time to time at Malta or Bombay kept her seaworthy , age eventually forced her out of the war and in March 1917 she returned to Wellington for a major overhaul . New Zealand was not subject to any significant direct military threat during the war . Although Germany had plans for naval raids on Australia and New Zealand , the threat from her Asiatic Squadron did not eventuate , as that force moved across the Pacific before being destroyed at the Battle of the Falkland Islands . In June 1917 , a German surface raider , the SMS Wolf entered New Zealand waters . She laid two small minefields in New Zealand waters and sank two merchant ships . One ( the Port Kembla ) off Farewell Spit , and another ( the Wairuna ) off the Kermadec Islands . Two fishing trawlers , the Nora Niven and Simplon , were fitted as minesweepers and took up sweeping duties in these areas . Another brief flurry of activity occurred when Felix von Luckner , imprisoned on Motuihe Island after being captured in the Society Islands , escaped and commandeered a small vessel before being recaptured in the Kermadec Islands . New Zealand also contributed a wireless troop to the Mesopotamian Campaign . The Wireless Troop was formed in New Zealand and arrived at Basra in April 1916 . In Mesopotamia the New Zealand troop was amalgamated with the 1st Australian Wireless Signal Squadron , forming `` C '' Wireless Troop of the Anzac Squadron . The troop was much affected by disease , but once in operation was attached to the Cavalry Division in the assault on Baghdad . The Wireless Troop was among the first batch of troops to enter the city on 11 March 1917 . The Wireless Troop joined further operations in Mesopotamia and was then moved to Persia . In June 1917 , the troop was redirected to France , where it was absorbed into the New Zealand Divisional Signal Company . New Zealand had no air force of her own during the First World War but several hundred New Zealanders served with the Royal Flying Corps , the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Air Force . Recruiting and conscription ( edit ) When the supply of volunteers for reinforcements for the New Zealand Expeditionary Force slowed , conscription was introduced , with the first ballot held in Wellington on 16 November 1916 . Men between 20 and 45 could be conscripted , subject to a medical check and limited rights of objection on conscience , family or business grounds . Conscription was extended to Māori for the `` Native Contingent '' in late 1917 , with the first `` Māori ballot '' for the Waikato district held in May 1918 . There wes resistance in the Waikato ( led by Princess Te Puea ) to conscription . By the end of the war 552 Māori had been balloted , but no Māori conscripts had been sent overseas . And 2,227 Māori served in the war ; about 4.5 % of the Māori population or under half of the total contribution per head of the total New Zealand population . Hospitals ( edit ) Walton - on - Thames railway station was about one and a quarter miles from No 2 New Zealand General Hospital New Zealand Hospitals were set up at Port Said and Suez in 1915 , Walton - on - Thames in 1915 , and Amiens , Brockenhurst , Codford and Hornchurch in 1916 . Hospital ships Maheno and Marama were converted in 1915 . Walton closed in 1919 . Repatriation ( edit ) Shortages of shipping , influenza and strikes were among causes for delays in repatriating troops after the war . The frustration of the delay resulted in riots at Sling Camp in March 1919 and at Ismailia in July . Allied governments paid compensation for looted Egyptian shops . New Zealand 's share of the cost was £ 2,529 ( 2016 equivalent $250,000 ) . Cemeteries and memorials ( edit ) New Zealand war deaths are buried or commemorated in CWGC ( Commonwealth War Graves Commission ) cemeteries with other allied soldiers . Gallipoli dead are buried in 24 CWGC cemeteries in Turkey , and in CWGC cemeteries in Egypt , Gibraltar , Greece and Malta . There are memorials to the New Zealand missing on Chunuk Bair and at three CWGC cemeteries : Hill 60 Cemetery , Lone Pine Cemetery and Twelve Tree Copse Cemetery . On the Western Front missing New Zealand soldiers are commemorated in cemeteries near where they were lost rather than at the large memorials of Menin Gate and the Thiepval Memorial on the Somme . The New Zealand monuments to the missing are at Messines in Belgium and Armentierses , Longueval ( Caterpillar Valley Cemetery ) , Grevillers , and Marfaux in France . There are four national battlefield memorials at Passchendaele , Messines , the Somme and Le Quesnoy .

"The total number of New Zealand troops and nurses to serve overseas in 1914–18, excluding those in British and other Dominion forces, was 100,444, from a population of just over a million. Forty-two percent of men of military age served in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, fighting in the Gallipoli Campaign and on the Western Front. 16,697 New Zealanders were killed and 41,317 were wounded during the war – a 58 percent casualty rate.[1] Approximately a further thousand men died within five years of the war's end, as a result of injuries sustained, and 507 died while training in New Zealand between 1914 and 1918."

94169181720489886 | Education in Wales | Education in Wales - wikipedia Education in Wales Education in Wales Department for Education and Skills Cabinet Secretary for Education Kirsty Williams National education budget ( 2014 / 15 ) Budget £ 2,055.5 million General details Primary languages Welsh and English System type National Compulsory education Literacy ( 2003 ) Total 99 % Male 99 % Female 99 % Education in Wales differs in certain respects from education elsewhere in the United Kingdom . For example , a significant minority of students all over Wales are educated either wholly or largely through the medium of Welsh : in 2014 / 15 , 15.7 % of children and young people received Welsh - medium education - a drop from the 15.9 % in 2010 / 11 . And additional 10 % attend schools which had a significant portion of the curriculum is bilingual . The study of the Welsh language is available to all age groups through nurseries , schools , colleges and universities and in adult education . The study of the language is compulsory for all pupils in State Schools until the age of 16 . Since devolution , education policy in the four constituent countries of the UK has diverged : for example , England has pursued reforms based on diversity of school types and parental choice ; Wales ( and Scotland ) remain more committed to the concept of the community - based comprehensive school . Systems of governance and regulation - the arrangements for planning , funding , quality - assuring and regulating learning , and for its local administration - are becoming increasingly differentiated across the four home countries . Education researcher David Reynolds claims that policy in Wales is driven by a `` producerist '' paradigm emphasising collaboration between educational partners . He also alludes to lower funding in Welsh schools compared to England , echoing similar concerns at university level . He concludes that performance data does not suggest that Wales has improved more rapidly than England , although there are considerable difficulties in making these kinds of assessments .

Education is compulsory beginning with the term following the child 's fifth birthday , but may take place at either home or school . Most parents choosing to educate through school - based provision , however , enrol their children in the reception year in September of that school year , with most children thus beginning school at age four or four and a half . This age was traditionally much earlier than in most other Western nations , but in recent years many European countries have lowered their age of compulsory education , usually by making one or more years of kindergarten compulsory . Primary education ( edit ) Primary school pupils in 1960 , in Barmouth , celebrating St David 's Day Main article : Primary education in Wales In 2014 / 15 , there were 1,330 primary schools in Wales with 273,400 pupils and 12,240 full - time equivalent ( FTE ) teachers . The teacher / pupil ratio was 1 : 22 and the average class size was 26 pupils . In the same year , there were 13 nursery schools in with 1,076 pupils and 43 full - time equivalent teachers . In 2015 / 16 , there were 276,950 pupils in 1,310 primary schools - a rise of 3,550 since 2014 / 15 . In 2008 a unique new curriculum - the Foundation phase - was rolled out to all schools in Wales . It began for 3 - to 4 - year - olds and by 2011 is in place for 3 - to 7 - year - olds . It is based on experiential learning , in small groups , with a teacher ratio of 1 : 8 for the youngest ages . In 2014 / 15 , there were 435 Welsh - medium primary schools with 65,460 pupils , rising from 64,366 in 2013 / 14 but the number of Welsh - medium primary schools decreasing from 444 . Secondary education ( edit ) Main article : Secondary education in Wales Pupils in secondary school take part in the compulsory GCSE and the non-compulsory A-level or BTEC qualifications at age 16 and 18 respectively . Since 2007 the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification has also been available as an option although it was ungraded until 2014 . In 2014 / 15 there were 207 secondary schools ( a drop of six since 2013 / 14 ) in Wales with 182,408 pupils and 11,269 FTE teachers ( a drop of 310 since 2013 / 14 ) . The pupil / teacher ratio was 17 : 1 , which has remained largely the same since 2000 / 01 . In 2015 / 16 , there were 178,650 pupils in 205 secondary schools - a drop of 3,700 since 2014 / 15 . The same report found that in 2015 / 16 , there were 8,000 pupils in 34 independent schools , 4,540 pupils in 32 independent special schools , and 730 pupils in 25 pupil referral units . In 2014 / 15 , there were 50 Welsh - medium secondary ( a drop of 2 since 2013 / 14 ) schools with 36,485 pupils , dropping from 37,400 in 2013 / 14 . In the same year , there were 4 Welsh - medium middle schools ( a rise of 2 since 2013 / 14 ) with 2,448 pupils , a rise from 1,577 in 2013 / 14 . In 2016 , 60 / 3 % of Year 11 pupils ( aged 16 ) achieved the Level 2 inclusive threshold ( Level 2 including a grade A * - C in English or Welsh first language and Mathematics ) . 35.6 % of pupils eligible for FSM ( free school meals ) achieved the L2 inclusive threshold. 66.9 % of pupils achieved A * - C in maths. 70.4 % of pupils achieved A * - C in either English or Welsh first language . PISA results , by which the performance of Welsh pupils is compared to that of other countries , is also of enormous concern , with Wales lagging behind all other countries in the UK , leading to the then Minister of Education Leighton Andrews to describe the performance as `` unacceptable '' . Education Consortia There are four formal education consortia in Wales covering : North Wales ( Flintshire , Conwy , Wrexham , Gwynedd , Isle of Anglesey , Denbighshire ) South West and Mid Wales ( Swansea , Neath Port Talbot , Carmarthenshire , Pembrokeshire , Powys , Ceredigion ) Central South Wales ( Bridgend , Cardiff , Merthyr Tydfil , Rhondda Cynon Taff , Vale of Glamorgan ) South East Wales ( Caerphilly , Monmouthshire , Newport , Blaenau Gwent , Torfaen ) Each of the consortia are responsible for school improvement services throughout their respective local authorities and schools . Whilst all aspects of school improvement are considered consortia roles , they are specifically targeted with addressing the three Ministerial priorities of ; improving levels of literacy , numeracy and reducing the impact of poverty on education attainment . Further education ( edit ) Main article : List of further education colleges in Wales Further education ( FE ) includes full - and part - time learning for people over compulsory school age , excluding higher education . FE and publicly funded training in Wales is provided by 15 FE institutions in 2014 / 15 and a range of public , private and voluntary sector training providers , such as the Workers ' Educational Association . Colleges vary in size and mission , and include general FE , tertiary and specialist institutions , including one Roman Catholic Sixth Form College and a residential adult education college . Many colleges offer leisure learning and training programmes designed to meet the needs of business . In 2014 / 15 there were 263,315 FE students in Wales spanning the entire availability of FE at multiple placements , including FE , HE ( higher education ) , LA ( local authority ) Community , and work - based learning . Adult Community learning ( edit ) Adult Community learning is a form of adult education or lifelong learning delivered and supported by local authorities in Wales . Programmes can be formal or informal , non-accredited or accredited , and vocational , academic or leisure orientated . In 2015 / 16 there were 28,710 learners in Local Authority Community Learning . Higher education ( edit ) See also : List of universities in Wales Main Building of Cardiff University St David 's building of the University of Wales Lampeter - Wales ' oldest University Students normally enter higher education ( HE ) from 18 onwards . All undergraduate education is largely state - financed ( with Welsh students contributing £ 1,255 ) , and students are generally entitled to student loans for maintenance . The state does not control syllabi , but it does influence admission procedures and monitors standards through the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales . The typical first degree offered at Welsh universities is the Bachelor 's degree , typically taking three years to complete full - time . Some institutions offer an undergraduate master 's degree as a first degree , typically lasting four years . During a first degree students are known as undergraduates . Some universities offer a vocationally based Foundation degree , typically two years in length . Within Wales , medical undergraduate education is provided by only Cardiff University , while graduate fast track route training is provided at Swansea University . In recent years there has been an increase in the number of universities with their own degree awarding powers owing to the change in the University of Wales from a single awarding body for most of the Universities in Wales to a confederal structure , along with former institutes gaining university status . In 2014 / 15 , there were 8 HE institutions in Wales including one music conservatoire , the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff which is part of the University of Glamorgan Group . The University of Glamorgan , the second largest university in Wales , has never been a member of the University of Wales and awards its own degrees : the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama also awards University of Glamorgan degrees . In 2014 / 15 there were 145,735 enrolments at HE institutions in Wales , including 97,900 first degree and other undergraduates and 27,780 postgraduates . Welsh HE institutions had a total of 10,140 full - time and part - time staff . In 2012 , the minister with responsibility for education within Wales , Leighton Andrews , made a significant statement in relation to the merger of Cardiff Metropolitan University ( CMU , formerly UWIC ) , the University of Glamorgan and University of Wales , Newport ( UWN ) , in which he proposed the dissolution of CMU and UN as part of the process towards merger . However significant such changes may seem , it is arguable that the effective imposition of an average undergraduate fee of £ 7.5 K pa for the three institutions ( and others , but not to Cardiff , Swansea , Bangor and Aberystwyth all of whom will charge £ 9 K pa ) will cause much more substantial long term damage to these universities and reinvent the ' binary divide ' between universities and the former polytechnics and HE institutes .

President Donald Trump meets with ( from left ) U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price ; Vice President Mike Pence ; Speaker of the House Paul Ryan ; Dr. Zeke Emanuel ; and Director of Domestic Policy Council Andrew Bremberg , Monday , March 20 , 2017 , in the Oval Office . The Oval Office in 1981 The Oval Office is the working office space of the President of the United States located in the West Wing of the White House , Washington , D.C. . The room features three large south - facing windows behind the president 's desk , and a fireplace at the north end . It has four doors : the east door opens to the Rose Garden ; the west door leads to a private study and dining room ; the northwest door opens onto the main corridor of the West Wing ; and the northeast door opens to the office of the president 's secretary . Presidents generally decorate the office to suit their personal taste , choosing new furniture , new drapery , and designing their own oval - shaped carpet to take up most of the floor . Artwork is selected from the White House 's own collection , or borrowed from museums for the president 's term in office .

Kennedy , Jr. peering through the front panel of his father 's desk , President Richard Nixon speaking by telephone with the Apollo 11 astronauts during their moonwalk , and daughter Amy Carter bringing her Siamese cat Misty Malarky Ying Yang to brighten President Jimmy Carter 's day . Several presidents have addressed the nation from the Oval Office on occasion . Examples include Kennedy presenting news of the Cuban Missile Crisis ( 1962 ) , Nixon announcing his resignation from office ( 1974 ) , Ronald Reagan following the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster ( 1986 ) , and George W. Bush in the wake of the September 11 attacks ( 2001 ) . In 2018 , former White House stenographer Beck Dorey - Stein published a memoir about her years working for Obama called `` From the Corner of the Oval . '' Antecedents ( edit ) President 's House , Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . George Washington 's Bow Window ( not depicted ) is echoed in the shape of the Oval Office . Washington 's Bow Window ( edit ) George Washington never occupied the White House . He spent most of his presidency in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , which served as the temporary national capital for 10 years , 1790 -- 1800 , while Washington , D.C. was under construction . In 1790 , Washington built a large , two - story , semi-circular addition to the rear of the President 's House in Philadelphia , creating a ceremonial space in which the public would meet the President . Standing before the three windows of this Bow Window , he formally received guests for his Tuesday afternoon levees , delegations from Congress and foreign dignitaries , and the general public at open houses on New Year 's Day , the Fourth of July , and his birthday . `` Washington received his guests , standing between the windows in his back drawing - room . The company , entering a front room and passing through an unfolding door , made their salutations to the President , and turning off , stood on one side . '' President John Adams occupied the Philadelphia mansion beginning in March 1797 , and used the Bow Window in the same manner as his predecessor . Curved foundations of Washington 's Bow Window were uncovered during a 2007 archaeological excavation of the President 's House site . They are exhibited under glass at the President 's House Commemoration , just north of the Liberty Bell Center . White House ( edit ) The Yellow Oval Room as President Grover Cleveland 's library and study , 1886 . Note his use of the Resolute desk . Architect James Hoban visited President Washington in Philadelphia in June 1792 and would have seen the Bow Window . The following month , he was named winner of the design competition for The White House . The `` elliptic salon '' at the center of the White House was the outstanding feature of Hoban 's original plan . An oval interior space was a Baroque concept that was adapted by Neoclassicism . Oval rooms became popular in eighteenth century neoclassical architecture . In November 1800 , John Adams became the first President to occupy the White House . He and his successor , President Thomas Jefferson , used Hoban 's oval rooms in the same ceremonial manner that Washington had used the Bow Window , standing before the three windows at the south end to receive guests . During the 19th century , a number of presidents used the White House 's second - floor Yellow Oval Room as a private office or library . West Wing ( edit ) The West Wing was the idea of President Theodore Roosevelt , brought about by his wife 's opinion that the second floor of the White House , then shared between bedrooms and offices , should be just a domestic space . The one - story Executive Office Building was intended to be a temporary structure , for use until a permanent building was erected either on that site or elsewhere . Building it to the west of the White House allowed the removal of a vast , dilapidated set of pre-Civil War greenhouses that had been constructed by President James Buchanan . Roosevelt moved the offices of the executive branch to the newly constructed wing in 1902 . His workspace was a two - room suite of Executive Office and Cabinet Room , located just west of the present Cabinet Room . The furniture , including the president 's desk , was designed by architect Charles Follen McKim and executed by A.H. Davenport and Company , of Boston . Location of the Yellow Oval Room on the second floor of the White House . A number of presidents used this as their private office or library . The Yellow Oval Room about 1868 used as President Andrew Johnson 's library . Note the bearskin chair on the right . Taft Oval Office : 1909 -- 1933 ( edit ) Taft Oval Office , completed 1909 . Nearly identical in size to the modern office , it was damaged by fire in 1929 and demolished in 1933 . President William Howard Taft made the West Wing a permanent building , expanding it southward , doubling its size , and building the first Oval Office . Designed by Nathan C. Wyeth and completed in 1909 , the office was centered on the south side of the building , much as the oval rooms in the White House are . Taft intended it to be the hub of his administration , and , by locating it in the center of the West Wing , he could be more involved with the day - to - day operation of his presidency . The Taft Oval Office had simple Georgian Revival trim , and was likely the most colorful in history ; the walls were covered with vibrant seagrass green burlap . On December 24 , 1929 , during President Herbert Hoover 's administration , a fire severely damaged the West Wing . Hoover used this as an opportunity to create more space , excavating a partial basement for additional offices . He restored the Oval Office , upgrading the quality of trim and installing air - conditioning . He also replaced the furniture , which had undergone no major changes in twenty years .

The newly built FDR Oval Office in 1934 . Plaster ceiling medallion installed in 1934 includes elements of the Seal of the President of the United States . Ronald Reagan discussing Grenada with Prime Minister Eugenia Charles of Dominica in the Oval Office Dissatisfied with the size and layout of the West Wing , President Franklin D. Roosevelt engaged New York architect Eric Gugler to redesign it in 1933 . To create additional space without increasing the apparent size of the building , Gugler excavated a full basement , added a set of subterranean offices under the adjacent lawn , and built an unobtrusive `` penthouse '' story . The directive to wring the most office space out of the existing building was responsible for its narrow corridors and cramped staff offices . Gugler 's most visible addition was the expansion of the building eastward for a new Cabinet Room and Oval Office . The modern Oval Office was built at the West Wing 's southeast corner , offering FDR , who was physically disabled and used a wheelchair , more privacy and easier access to the Residence . He and Gugler devised a room architecturally grander than the previous two rooms , with more robust Georgian details : doors topped with substantial pediments , bookcases set into niches , a deep bracketed cornice , and a ceiling medallion of the Presidential Seal . Rather than a chandelier or ceiling fixture , the room is illuminated by light bulbs hidden within the cornice that `` wash '' the ceiling in light . In small ways , hints of Art Moderne can be seen , in the sconces flanking the windows and the representation of the eagle in the ceiling medallion . FDR and Gugler worked closely together , often over breakfast , with Gugler sketching the president 's ideas . One notion resulting from these sketches that has become fixed in the layout of the room 's furniture , is that of two high back chairs in front of the fireplace . The public sees this most often with the president seated on the left , and a visiting head of state on the right . This allowed FDR to be seated , with his guests at the same level , de-emphasizing his inability to stand . Construction of the modern Oval Office was completed in 1934 . Decoration ( edit ) The basic Oval Office furnishings have been a desk in front of the three windows at the south end , a pair of chairs in front of the fireplace at the north end , a pair of sofas , and assorted tables and chairs . The Neoclassical mantel was made for the Taft Oval Office in 1909 , and salvaged after the 1929 West Wing fire . A tradition of displaying potted Swedish ivy ( Plectranthus verticillatus ) atop the mantel goes back to the administration of John F. Kennedy , and the current plants were rooted from the original plant . A Federal longcase clock , made in Boston by John and Thomas Seymour c. 1795 -- 1805 -- commonly known as the Oval Office grandfather clock -- was purchased by the White House Historical Association in 1972 , and has stood next to the Oval Office 's northeast door since 1975 . The carpet of the Oval Office bears the Seal of the President . President Harry S. Truman 's oval carpet was the first to incorporate the presidential seal . In Truman 's carpet , the seal was represented monochromatically through varying depths of the cut pile . His carpet was used in the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations . In recent years most administrations have created their own rug , working with an interior designer and the Curator of the White House . As part of her overall restoration of the White House , Jacqueline Kennedy had a redecoration of the Oval Office begun on November 21 , 1963 , when she accompanied President John F. Kennedy on a trip to Texas . The next day , November 22 , a new carpet was installed just as the Kennedys were making their way through Dallas and the President was assassinated . Desks ( edit ) Caroline Kennedy and Kerry Kennedy beneath the Resolute desk in 1963 Six desks have been used in the Oval Office by U.S. Presidents . The Theodore Roosevelt desk was used there by seven presidents -- most recently by Dwight Eisenhower -- and by Theodore Roosevelt in his non-oval office . Equally popular is the Resolute Desk , so named because it was made from the timbers of the British frigate HMS Resolute . The ship had been frozen in Arctic ice and abandoned but was later found and freed by American seamen . It was refurbished and presented as a gift from the United States to Queen Victoria in 1856 . When the ship was decommissioned from the British Navy in 1879 , Queen Victoria ordered twin desks made from its timbers , keeping one and presenting the other as a gift to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880 . President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a kneehole panel with the Presidential Seal added , but work was not completed until after his 1945 death in office . First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy had the desk restored , and she was the first to place it in the Oval Office . Following the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy , the desk toured the country as part of a traveling exhibit for the Kennedy Presidential Library and was then lent to the Smithsonian Institution . President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office in the 1970s . Since then , Presidents Ronald Reagan , Bill Clinton , George W. Bush , Barack Obama and Donald Trump have also used it as their Oval Office desk . When not in use in the Oval Office , a desk is often placed in the adjacent Oval Office Study , in the White House , or is used by the vice-president . Artwork ( edit ) Oval Office floor , replaced during the administration of Ronald Reagan . Designed by Nancy Reagan , the installation is arranged in a contrasting cross pattern of quarter sawn oak and walnut . Decorator Ted Graber arranged for the floor to be built , installed and donated by Rode Brothers from Los Angeles . Art may be selected from the White House collection , or may be borrowed from museums or individuals for the length of an administration . Most presidents have hung a portrait of George Washington -- usually the Rembrandt Peale `` Porthole '' portrait or the Charles Willson Peale three - quarter - length portrait -- over the mantel at the north end of the room . A portrait of Andrew Jackson by Thomas Sully hung in Lyndon Johnson 's office , and in Ronald Reagan 's , George H.W. Bush 's and Bill Clinton 's . A portrait of Abraham Lincoln by George Henry Story hung in George W. Bush 's office , and continued in Barack Obama 's . Three landscapes / cityscapes by minor artists -- City of Washington from Beyond the Navy Yard by George Cooke , Eastport and Passamaquoddy Bay by Victor de Grailly , and The President 's House , a copy after William Henry Bartlett -- have adorned the walls in multiple administrations . The Avenue in the Rain by Childe Hassam and Working on the Statue of Liberty by Norman Rockwell flanked the Resolute Desk in Bill Clinton 's office , and did the same in Barack Obama 's . Statuettes , busts , heads , and figurines are frequently displayed in the Oval Office . Abraham Lincoln has been the most common subject , in works by sculptors Augustus Saint - Gaudens , Gutzon Borglum , Adolph Alexander Weinman , Leo Cherne and others . In recent administrations , traditional busts of George Washington , Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin have given way to heads of Franklin D. Roosevelt , Harry S. Truman or Dwight Eisenhower . Western bronzes by Frederic Remington have been frequent choices : Harry S. Truman displayed Fired On ; Lyndon Johnson displayed The Bronco Buster , as did Gerald Ford , Jimmy Carter , Ronald Reagan , Bill Clinton , George W. Bush and Barack Obama . Presidents Reagan and Bush added its companion piece , Rattlesnake . President Harry S. Truman displayed works related to his home state of Missouri , illustrations of biplanes , and models of jet - airplanes . He hung a large photograph of the White House portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt , under whom he had served as Vice-President , who died in office in 1945 . President Dwight Eisenhower filled the office walls with landscape paintings , as well as a painting of Robert E. Lee . President John F. Kennedy surrounded himself with paintings of naval battles from the War of 1812 , photographs of sailboats , and ship models . President Lyndon Johnson installed sconces on either side of the mantel , and added the office 's first painting by a woman artist , Franklin D. Roosevelt by Elizabeth Shoumatoff . President Richard Nixon tried three different George Washington portraits over the mantel , and hung a copy of Earthrise -- a photograph of the earth taken from the moon 's orbit during the Apollo 8 mission -- beside his desk . President Gerald Ford displayed tasteful , conservative works ; paintings that remained mostly in place through the administrations of Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan . President George H.W. Bush added luminist landscapes . President Bill Clinton chose the Childe Hassam and Norman Rockwell paintings mentioned above , along with Waiting for the Hour by William T. Carlton , a genre painting showing African - Americans gathered in anticipation of the Emancipation Proclamation going into effect . President George W. Bush mixed traditional works with paintings by Texas artists and Western sculptures . Following the September 11 , 2001 attacks , British Prime Minister Tony Blair lent him a bust of Winston Churchill , who had guided Great Britain through World War II . President Barack Obama honored Abraham Lincoln with the portrait by Story , a bust by Augustus Saint - Gaudens , and a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation . Below the proclamation was a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. by Charles Alston , and in the nearby bookcase was a program from the August 28 , 1963 March on Washington , at which Dr. King gave his `` I Have a Dream Speech . '' Redecoration ( edit ) A tradition evolved in the latter part of the twentieth century of each new administration redecorating the office to the President 's liking . A new administration usually selects an oval carpet , new drapery , the paintings on the walls , and some furniture . Most incoming presidents continue using the rug of their predecessor until their new one is installed . The retired carpet very often is then moved to the presidential library of the president for whom it was made . The redecoration of the Oval Office is usually coordinated by the First Lady 's office in the East Wing , working with an interior designer and the White House Curator . Alterations ( edit ) Since the present Oval Office 's construction in 1934 during the administration of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt the room has remained mostly unchanged architecturally . More than any president , FDR left an impression on the room and its use . Doors and window frames have been modified slightly . A screen door on the east wall was removed after the installation of air conditioning . President Lyndon B. Johnson 's row of wire service Teletype machines on the southeast wall required cutting plaster and flooring to accommodate wiring . The Georgian style plaster ornament has been cleaned to remove accumulated paint , and a series of electrified wall sconces have come and gone . Though some presidents have chosen to do day - to - day work in a smaller study just west of the Oval Office , most use the actual Oval Office for work and meetings . Traffic from the large numbers of staff , visitors , and pets over time takes its toll . There have been four sets of flooring in the Oval Office . The original floor was made of cork installed over soft wood ; however , President Dwight D. Eisenhower was an avid golfer and damaged the floor with his golf spikes . Johnson had the floor replaced in the mid-1960s with wood - grain linoleum . In 1982 , President Ronald Reagan had the floor replaced with quarter sawn oak and walnut , in a cross parquet pattern similar in design to Eric Gugler 's 1933 sketch , which had never been installed . In August 2005 , the floor was replaced again under President George W. Bush , in exactly the same pattern as the Reagan floor . Conservation ( edit ) In the late 1980s , a comprehensive assessment of the entire house , including the Oval Office , was made as part of the National Park Service 's Historic American Buildings Survey ( HABS ) . Detailed photographs and measured drawings were made documenting the interior and exterior and showing even slight imperfections . A checklist of materials and methods was generated for future conservation and restoration . Dimensions ( edit ) Dimensions US SI Major axis ( north - south ) 35 ft 10 in 10.9 m Minor axis ( east - west ) 29 ft 8.8 m Eccentricity 0.59 0.59 Height 18 ft 6 in 5.6 m Line of rise ( the point at which the ceiling starts to arch ) 16 ft 7 in 5.0 m Approximate circumference 102 ft 5 in 31.2 m Approximate area 816.2 sq ft 75.8 sq m The ratio of the major axis to the minor axis is approximately 21 : 17 or 1.24 .

"The modern Oval Office was built at the West Wing's southeast corner, offering FDR, who was physically disabled and used a wheelchair, more privacy and easier access to the Residence. He and Gugler devised a room architecturally grander than the previous two rooms, with more robust Georgian details: doors topped with substantial pediments, bookcases set into niches, a deep bracketed cornice, and a ceiling medallion of the Presidential Seal. Rather than a chandelier or ceiling fixture, the room is illuminated by light bulbs hidden within the cornice that \"wash\" the ceiling in light.[17] In small ways, hints of Art Moderne can be seen, in the sconces flanking the windows and the representation of the eagle in the ceiling medallion. FDR and Gugler worked closely together, often over breakfast, with Gugler sketching the president's ideas. One notion resulting from these sketches that has become fixed in the layout of the room's furniture, is that of two high back chairs in front of the fireplace. The public sees this most often with the president seated on the left, and a visiting head of state on the right. This allowed FDR to be seated, with his guests at the same level, de-emphasizing his inability to stand. Construction of the modern Oval Office was completed in 1934.\n"

The state 's armed forces were reorganised -- the war marked the founding of the Royal Air Force , for example -- and increased in size because of the introduction , in January 1916 , of conscription for the first time in the country 's history as well as the raising of what was , at the time , the largest all - volunteer army in history , known as Kitchener 's Army , of more than 2,000,000 men . The outbreak of war has generally been regarded as a socially unifying event , although this view has been challenged by more recent scholarship . In any case , responses in Great Britain in 1914 were similar to those amongst populations across Europe . On the eve of war , there was serious domestic unrest in the UK ( amongst the labour and suffrage movements and especially in Ireland ) but much of the population rapidly rallied behind the government . Significant sacrifices were made in the name of defeating the Empire 's enemies and many of those who could not fight contributed to philanthropic and humanitarian causes . Fearing food shortages and labour shortfalls , the government passed legislation such as the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 , to give it new powers . The war saw a move away from the idea of `` business as usual '' under Prime Minister H.H. Asquith , and towards a state of total war ( complete state intervention in public affairs ) under the premiership of David Lloyd George ; the first time this had been seen in Britain . The war also witnessed the first aerial bombardments of cities in Britain . Newspapers played an important role in maintaining popular support for the war . Large quantities of propaganda were produced by the government under the guidance of such journalists as Charles Masterman and newspaper owners such as Lord Beaverbrook . By adapting to the changing demographics of the workforce ( or the `` dilution of labour '' , as it was termed ) , war - related industries grew rapidly , and production increased , as concessions were quickly made to trade unions . In that regard , the war is also credited by some with drawing women into mainstream employment for the first time . Debates continue about the impact the war had on women 's emancipation , given that a large number of women were granted the vote for the first time in 1918 . The experience of individual women during the war varied ; much depended on locality , age , marital status and occupation . The civilian death rate rose due to food shortages and Spanish Flu , which hit the country in 1918 . Military deaths are estimated to have exceeded 850,000 . The Empire reached its zenith at the conclusion of peace negotiations . However , the war heightened not only imperial loyalties but also individual national identities in the Dominions ( Canada , Newfoundland , Australia , New Zealand and South Africa ) and India . Irish nationalists after 1916 moved from collaboration with London to demands for immediate independence ( see Easter Rising ) , a move given great impetus by the Conscription Crisis of 1918 . Military historians continue to debate matters of tactics and strategy . However , in terms of memory of the war , historian Adrian Gregory argues that : `` The verdict of popular culture is more or less unanimous . The First World War was stupid , tragic and futile . The stupidity of the war has been a theme of growing strength since the 1920s . From Robert Graves , through ' Oh ! What a Lovely War ' to ' Blackadder Goes Forth , ' the criminal idiocy of the British High Command has become an article of faith .

Asquith ( c. 1915 ) , Prime Minister at the beginning of the war Asquith as prime minister ( edit ) Main article : Asquith coalition ministry On 4 August , the King took Britain ( and her Empire ) into the Great War with H.H. Asquith of the Liberal Party as Prime Minister . Britain 's reasons for declaring war were complex . The ostensible reason given was that Britain was required to safeguard Belgium 's neutrality under the 1839 Treaty of London . The German invasion of Belgium was , therefore , the casus belli and , importantly , legitimized and galvanized popular support for the war . The strategic risk posed by German control of the Belgian and ultimately French coast was considered unacceptable . German guarantees of post-war behaviour were cast into doubt by her blasé treatment of Belgian neutrality . However , the Treaty of London had not committed Britain on her own to safeguard Belgium 's neutrality . Moreover , naval war planning demonstrated that Britain herself would have violated Belgian neutrality by blockading her ports ( to prevent imported goods passing to Germany ) in the event of war with Germany . Britain 's relationship with her Entente partners , both France and Russia , were equally significant factors . The Foreign Secretary Edward Grey argued that the secret naval agreements with France ( although they had not been approved by the Cabinet ) created a moral obligation vis a vis Britain and France . What is more , in the event that Britain abandoned its Entente friends , it was feared that if Germany won the war , or the Entente won without British support , then , either way , Britain would be left without any friends . This would have left both Britain and her Empire vulnerable to attack . British Foreign office mandarin Eyre Crowe said : `` Should the war come , and England stand aside , one of two things must happen . ( a ) Either Germany and Austria win , crush France and humiliate Russia . What will be the position of a friendless England ? ( b ) Or France and Russia win . What would be their attitude towards England ? What about India and the Mediterranean ? '' The Liberal Party might have survived a short war , but the totality of the Great War called for strong measures that the Party had long rejected . The result was the permanent destruction of the ability of the Liberal Party to lead a government . Historian Robert Blake explains the dilemma : the Liberals were traditionally the party of freedom of speech , conscience and trade . They were against jingoism , heavy armaments and compulsion ... Liberals were neither wholehearted nor unanimous about conscription , censorship , the Defence of the Realm Act , severity toward aliens and pacifists , direction of labour and industry . The Conservatives ... had no such misgivings . Blake further notes that it was the Liberals , not the Conservatives who needed the moral outrage of Belgium to justify going to war , while the Conservatives called for intervention from the start of the crisis on the grounds of realpolitik and the balance of power . Asquith 's Liberal government was brought down in May 1915 , due in particular to a crisis in inadequate artillery shell production and the protest resignation of Jackie Fisher over the Gallipoli Campaign against Turkey . Reluctant to face doom in an election , Asquith formed a new coalition government on 25 May , with the majority of the new cabinet coming from his own Liberal party and the Unionist ( Conservative ) party , along with a token Labour representation . The new government lasted a year and a half , and was the last time Liberals controlled the government . Lloyd George as prime minister ( edit ) Main article : Lloyd George ministry This coalition government lasted until 1916 , when the Unionists became dissatisfied with Asquith and the Liberals ' conduct of affairs , particularly over the Battle of the Somme . Asquith 's opponents now took control , led by Bonar Law ( leader of the Conservatives ) , Sir Edward Carson ( leader of the Ulster Unionists ) , and David Lloyd George ( then a minister in the cabinet ) . Law , who had few allies outside his own party , lacked sufficient support to form a new coalition ; the Liberal Lloyd George , on the other hand , enjoyed much wider support and duly formed a majority - Conservative coalition government with Lloyd George Liberals and Labour . Asquith was still the party head but he and his followers moved to the opposition benches in Parliament . Lloyd George immediately set about transforming the British war effort , taking firm control of both military and domestic policy . In the first 235 days of its existence , the War Cabinet met 200 times . Its creation marked the transition to a state of total war -- the idea that every man , woman and child should play his or her part in the war effort . Moreover , it was decided that members of the government should be the men who controlled the war effort , primarily utilising the power they had been given under the Defence of the Realm Act . For the first time , the government could react quickly , without endless bureaucracy to tie it down , and with up - to - date statistics on such matters as the state of the merchant navy and farm production . The policy marked a distinct shift away from Asquith 's initial policy of laissez - faire , which had been characterised by Winston Churchill 's declaration of `` business as usual '' in November 1914 . The success of Lloyd George 's government can also be attributed to a general lack of desire for an election , and the practical absence of dissent that this brought about . David Lloyd George ( c. 1920 ) , prime minister at the end of the war In rapid succession in spring 1918 came a series of military and political crises . The Germans , having moved troops from the Eastern front and retrained them in new tactics , now had more soldiers on the Western Front than the Allies . On 21 March 1918 Germany launched a full scale Spring Offensive against the British and French lines , hoping for victory on the battlefield before United States troops arrived in large numbers . The Allied armies fell back 40 miles in confusion , and facing defeat London realized it needed more troops to fight a mobile war . Lloyd George found half a million soldiers and rushed them to France , asked American President Woodrow Wilson for immediate help , and agreed to the appointment of the French Marshal Foch as commander in chief on the Western Front , so that Allied forces could be coordinated to handle the German offensive . Despite strong warnings that it was a bad idea , the War Cabinet decided to impose conscription on Ireland in 1918 . The main reason was that labour in Britain demanded it as the price for cutting back on exemptions for certain workers . Labour wanted the principle established that no one was exempt , but it did not demand that conscription should actually take place in Ireland . The proposal was enacted , but never enforced . The Roman Catholic bishops for the first time entered the fray , calling for open resistance to compulsory military service , while the majority of Irish nationalists moved to supporting the intransigent Sinn Féin movement ( away from the constitutional Irish National Party ) . This proved a decisive moment , marking the end of Irish willingness to stay inside the Union . On 7 May 1918 , a senior army officer on active duty , Major - General Sir Frederick Maurice , prompted a second crisis when he went public with allegations that Lloyd George had lied to Parliament on military matters . Asquith , the Liberal leader in the House , took up the allegations and attacked Lloyd George ( also a Liberal ) . While Asquith 's presentation was poor , Lloyd George vigorously defended his position , treating the debate as a vote of confidence . He won over the House with a powerful refutation of Maurice 's allegations . The main results were to strengthen Lloyd George , weaken Asquith , end public criticism of overall strategy , and strengthen civilian control of the military . Meanwhile , the German offensive stalled and was ultimately reversed . Victory came on 11 November 1918 . Historian George H. Cassar has evaluated Lloyd George 's legacy as a war leader : After all that has been said and done , what are we to make of Lloyd George 's legacy as a war leader ? On the home front he achieved varied results in tackling difficult , and in some instances , unprecedented problems . It would be hard to have improved on his dealings with labour and the program to increase homegrown food , but in the sectors of manpower , price control and food distribution he adopted the same approach as his predecessor , taking action only in response to the changing nature of the conflict . In the vital area of national morale , while he did not have the technical advantages of Churchill , his personal conduct damaged his ability to do more to inspire the nation . All things considered , it is unlikely that any of his political contemporaries could have handled matters at home as effectively as he did , although it can be argued that if someone else had been in charge , the difference would not have been sufficient to change the final outcome . In his conduct of the war he did advance the cause of the Entente significantly in some ways , but in determining strategy , one of the most important tasks for which a prime minister must be responsible , he was undeniably a failure . To sum up , while Lord George 's contributions outweighed his mistakes , the margin is too narrow , in my opinion , to include him In the pantheon of Britain 's outstanding war leaders . Collapse of the Liberal party ( edit ) In the general election of 1918 , Lloyd George , `` the Man Who Won the War '' , led his coalition into another khaki election and won a sweeping victory over the Asquithian Liberals and the newly emerging Labour Party . Lloyd George and the Conservative leader Bonar Law wrote a joint letter of support to candidates to indicate they were considered the official Coalition candidates -- this `` coupon '' , as it became known , was issued to opponents of many sitting Liberal MPs , devastating the incumbents . Asquith and most of his Liberal colleagues lost their seats . Lloyd George was increasingly under the influence of the rejuvenated Conservative party . The Liberal party never recovered . Finance ( edit ) Before the war , the government spent 13 percent of gross national product ( GNP ) ; in 1918 it spent 59 percent of GNP . The war was financed by borrowing large sums at home and abroad , by new taxes , and by inflation . It was implicitly financed by postponing maintenance and repair , and cancelling unneeded projects . The government avoided indirect taxes because they raised the cost of living , and caused discontent among the working class . In 1913 - 14 , indirect taxes on tobacco and alcohol yielded £ 75 million , while direct taxes yielded £ 88 million , including an income tax of £ 44 million and estate duties of £ 22 million . That is , 54 percent of revenue came from direct taxes ; by 1918 , direct taxes were 80 percent of revenue . There was a strong emphasis on being `` fair '' and being `` scientific . '' The public generally supported the heavy new taxes , with minimal complaints . The Treasury rejected proposals for a stiff capital levy , which the Labour Party wanted to use to weaken the capitalists . Instead , there was an excess profits tax , of 50 percent of profits above the normal prewar level ; the rate was raised to 80 percent in 1917 . Excise taxes were added on luxury imports such as automobiles , clocks and watches . There was no sales tax or value added tax . The main increase in revenue came from income tax , which in 1915 went up to 3s . 6d in the pound ( 17.5 % ) , and individual exemptions were lowered . The income tax rate grew to 5s in the pound ( 25 % ) in 1916 , and 6s ( 30 % ) in 1918 . Altogether , taxes provided at most 30 percent of national expenditure , with the rest from borrowing . The national debt soared from £ 625 million to £ 7,800 million . Government bonds typically paid five percent . Inflation escalated so that the pound in 1919 purchased only a third of the basket it had purchased it 1914 . Wages were laggard , and the poor and retired were especially hard hit . Monarchy ( edit ) `` A good riddance '' A 1917 Punch cartoon depicts King George sweeping away his German titles . Further information : George V § First World War The British Royal Family faced a serious problem during the First World War because of its blood ties to the ruling family of Germany , Britain 's prime adversary in the war . Before the war , the British royal family had been known as the House of Saxe - Coburg and Gotha . In 1910 , George V became King on the death of his father , King Edward VII , and remained king throughout the war . He was the first cousin of the German Kaiser Wilhelm II , who came to symbolise all the horrors of the war . Queen Mary , although British like her mother , was the daughter of the Duke of Teck , a descendant of the German Royal House of Württemberg . During the war H.G. Wells wrote about Britain 's `` alien and uninspiring court '' , and George famously replied : `` I may be uninspiring , but I 'll be damned if I 'm alien . '' On 17 July 1917 , to appease British nationalist feelings , King George issued an Order in Council that changed the name of the British Royal Family to the House of Windsor . He specifically adopted Windsor as the surname for all descendants of Queen Victoria then living in Britain , excluding women who married into other families and their descendants . He and his relatives who were British subjects relinquished the use of all German titles and styles , and adopted English surnames . George compensated several of his male relatives by creating them British peers . Thus , his cousin , Prince Louis of Battenberg , became the Marquess of Milford Haven , while his brother - in - law , the Duke of Teck , became the Marquess of Cambridge . Others , such as Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig - Holstein and Princess Helena Victoria of Schleswig - Holstein , simply stopped using their territorial designations . The system for titling members of the royal family was also simplified . Relatives of the British royal family who fought on the German side were simply cut off ; their British peerages were suspended by a 1919 Order in Council under the provisions of the Titles Deprivation Act 1917 . King George V ( right ) with his first cousin Tsar Nicholas II , Berlin , 1913 Developments in Russia posed another set of issues for the monarchy . Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was King George 's first cousin and the two monarchs looked very much alike . When Nicholas was overthrown in the Russian Revolution of 1917 , the liberal Russian Government asked that the tsar and his family be given asylum in Britain . The cabinet agreed but the king was worried that public opinion was hostile and said no . It is likely the tsar would have refused to leave Russia in any case . He remained and in 1918 he and his family were ordered killed by Lenin , the Bolshevik leader . The Prince of Wales -- the future Edward VIII -- was keen to participate in the war but the government refused to allow it , citing the immense harm that would occur if the heir to the throne were captured . Despite this , Edward witnessed trench warfare at first hand and attempted to visit the front line as often as he could , for which he was awarded the Military Cross in 1916 . His role in the war , although limited , led to his great popularity among veterans of the conflict . King George V and his son the Prince of Wales visiting the Grand Fleet in 1918 . From left to right : Admiral David Beatty , RN ; Rear Admiral Hugh Rodman , USN ; King George V ; Prince of Wales ; Vice Admiral William S. Sims , USN Other members of the royal family were similarly involved . Prince Albert , Duke of York ( later George VI ) , was commissioned in the Royal Navy and saw action as a turret officer aboard HMS Collingwood at the battle of Jutland but saw no further action in the war , largely because of ill health . Princess Mary , the King 's only daughter , visited hospitals and welfare organisations with her mother , assisting with projects to give comfort to British servicemen and assistance to their families . One of these projects was Princess Mary 's Christmas Gift Fund , through which £ 162,000 worth of gifts was sent to all British soldiers and sailors for Christmas 1914 . She took an active role in promoting the Girl Guide movement , the Voluntary Aid Detachment ( VAD ) , the Land Girls and in 1918 , she took a nursing course and went to work at Great Ormond Street Hospital . Defence of the Realm Act ( edit ) Main article : Defence of the Realm Act 1914 The first Defence of the Realm Act ( DORA ) was passed on 8 August 1914 , during the early weeks of the war , though in the next few months its provisions were extended . It gave the government wide - ranging powers , such as the ability to requisition buildings or land needed for the war effort . Some of the things the British public were prohibited from doing included loitering under railway bridges , feeding wild animals and discussing naval and military matters . British Summer Time was also introduced . Alcoholic beverages were now to be watered down , pub closing times were brought forward from 12.30 am to 10 pm , and , from August 1916 , Londoners were no longer able to whistle for a cab between 10 pm and 7 am . It has been criticised for both its strength and its use of the death penalty as a deterrent -- although the act itself did not refer to the death penalty , it made provision for civilians breaking these rules to be tried in army courts martial , where the maximum penalty was death . Armed forces ( edit ) Army ( edit ) August 1914 : London army volunteers await their pay at St. Martin - in - the - Fields The British Army during World War I was small in size when compared to the other major European powers . In 1914 , the British had a small , largely urban English , volunteer force of 400,000 soldiers , almost half of whom were posted overseas to garrison the British Empire . ( In August 1914 , 74 of the 157 infantry battalions and 12 of the 31 cavalry regiments were posted overseas . ) This total included the Regular Army and reservists in the Territorial Force . Together they formed the British Expeditionary Force ( BEF ) , for service in France and became known as the Old Contemptibles . The mass of volunteers in 1914 -- 1915 , popularly known as Kitchener 's Army , was destined to go into action at the battle of the Somme . In January 1916 , conscription was introduced , and by the end of 1918 , the army had reached its peak of strength of four million men . Royal Navy ( edit ) Further information : Naval warfare of World War I Ships of the 2nd Battle Squadron of the Royal Navy 's Grand Fleet The Royal Navy at the start of the war was the largest navy in the world due , for the most part , to the Naval Defence Act 1889 and the two - power standard which called for the navy to maintain a number of battleships such as their strength was at least equal to the combined strength of the next two largest navies in the world , which at that point were France and Russia . The major part of the Royal Navy 's strength was deployed at home in the Grand Fleet , with the primary aim of drawing the German High Seas Fleet into an engagement . No decisive victory ever came . The Royal Navy and the German Imperial Navy did come into contact , notably in the Battle of Heligoland Bight , and at the Battle of Jutland . In view of their inferior numbers and firepower , the Germans devised a plan to draw part of the British fleet into a trap and put it into effect at Jutland in May 1916 , but the result was inconclusive . In August 1916 , the High Seas Fleet tried a similar enticement operation and was `` lucky to escape annihilation '' . The lessons learned by the Royal Navy at Jutland made it a more effective force in the future . In 1914 , the navy had also formed the 63rd ( Royal Naval ) Division from reservists , and this served extensively in the Mediterranean and on the Western Front . Almost half of the Royal Navy casualties during the War were sustained by this division , fighting on land and not at sea . British Air services ( edit ) Further information : Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service Royal Flying Corps recruitment poster At the start of the war , the Royal Flying Corps ( RFC ) , commanded by David Henderson , was sent to France and was first used for aerial spotting in September 1914 , but only became efficient when they perfected the use of wireless communication at Aubers Ridge on 9 May 1915 . Aerial photography was attempted during 1914 , but again only became effective the next year . In 1915 Hugh Trenchard replaced Henderson and the RFC adopted an aggressive posture . By 1918 , photographic images could be taken from 15,000 feet ( 4,600 m ) , and interpreted by over 3,000 personnel . Planes did not carry parachutes until 1918 , though they had been available since before the war . On 17 August 1917 , General Jan Smuts presented a report to the War Council on the future of air power . Because of its potential for the ' devastation of enemy lands and the destruction of industrial and populous centres on a vast scale ' , he recommended a new air service be formed that would be on a level with the army and navy . The formation of the new service however would make the under utilised men and machines of the Royal Naval Air Service ( RNAS ) available for action across the Western Front , as well as ending the inter-service rivalries that at times had adversely affected aircraft procurement . On 1 April 1918 , the RFC and the RNAS were amalgamated to form a new service , the Royal Air Force ( RAF ) . Recruitment and conscription ( edit ) Main article : Recruitment to the British Army during the First World War Poster by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee , featuring St. George and the Dragon . Particularly in the early stages of the war , many men , for a wide variety of reasons , decided to `` join up '' to the armed forces -- by 5 September 1914 , over 225,000 had signed up to fight for what became known as Kitchener 's Army . Over the course of the war , a number of factors contributed to recruitment rates , including patriotism , the work of the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee in producing posters , dwindling alternative employment opportunities , and an eagerness for adventure to escape humdrum routine . Pals battalions , where whole battalions were raised from a small geographic area or employer , also proved popular . Higher recruitment rates were seen in Wales and Scotland , though in the case of the Welsh and Irish , political tensions tended to `` put something of a blight upon enlistment '' . A 1914 poster shows a Scottish soldier in Belgium , in response to Germany describing the Treaty of London , which protected Belgium 's independence and neutrality , as a `` scrap of paper '' when they invaded in August 1914 . Recruitment remained fairly steady through 1914 and early 1915 , but fell dramatically during the later years , especially after the Somme campaign , which resulted in 500,000 casualties . As a result , conscription was introduced for the first time in January 1916 for single men , and extended in May -- June to all men aged 18 to 41 across England , Wales and Scotland , by way of the Military Service Acts . Urban centres , with their poverty and unemployment were favourite recruiting grounds of the regular British army . Dundee , where the female dominated jute industry limited male employment had one of the highest proportion of reservists and serving soldiers than almost any other British city . Concern for their families ' standard of living made men hesitate to enlist ; voluntary enlistment rates went up after the government guaranteed a weekly stipend for life to the survivors of men who were killed or disabled . After the introduction of conscription from January 1916 every part of the country was affected . The policy of relying on volunteers had sharply reduced the capacity of heavy industry to produce the munitions needed for the war . Historian R.J.Q. Adams reports that 19 % of the men in the iron and steel industry entered the Army , 22 % of the miners , 20 % in the engineering trades , 24 % in the electrical industries , 16 % among small arms craftsmen , and 24 % of the men who had been engaged in making high explosives . In response critical industries were prioritised over the army ( `` reserved occupations '' ) , including munitions , food production and merchant shipping . Conscription Crisis of 1918 ( edit ) Main article : Conscription Crisis of 1918 In April 1918 legislation was brought forward which allowed for extension of conscription to Ireland . Though this ultimately never materialised , the effect was `` disastrous '' . Despite significant numbers volunteering for Irish regiments , the idea of enforced conscription proved unpopular . The reaction was based particularly on the fact that implementation of conscription in Ireland was linked to a pledged `` measure of self - government in Ireland '' . The linking of conscription and Home Rule in this way outraged the Irish parties at Westminster , who walked out in protest and returned to Ireland to organise opposition . As a result , a general strike was called , and on 23 April 1918 , work was stopped in railways , docks , factories , mills , theatres , cinemas , trams , public services , shipyards , newspapers , shops , and even official munitions factories . The strike was described as `` complete and entire , an unprecedented event outside the continental countries '' . Ultimately the effect was a total loss of interest in Home Rule and of popular support for the nationalist Irish Party who were defeated outright by the separatist republican Sinn Féin party in the December 1918 Irish general election , one of the precursors of the Anglo - Irish War . Conscientious objectors ( edit ) Further information : Conscientious objector § United Kingdom The conscription legislation introduced the right to refuse military service , allowing for conscientious objectors to be absolutely exempted , to perform alternative civilian service , or to serve as a non-combatant in the army , according to the extent to which they could convince a Military Service Tribunal of the quality of their objection . Around 16,500 men were recorded as conscientious objectors , with Quakers playing a large role . 4,500 objectors were sent to work on farms to undertake `` work of national importance '' , 7,000 were ordered non-combatant duties as stretcher bearers , but 6,000 were forced into the army , and when they refused orders , they were sent to prison , as in the case of the Richmond Sixteen . Some 843 conscientious objectors spent more than two years in prison ; ten died while there , seventeen were initially given the death penalty ( but received life imprisonment ) and 142 were imprisoned on life sentences . Conscientious objectors who were deemed not to have made any useful contribution were disenfranchised for five years after the war . Naval and Air raids ( edit ) German bombardments were concentrated on the east coast of England At the start of the First World War , for the first time since the Napoleonic Wars , the population of the British Isles was in danger of attack from naval raids . The country also came under attack from air raids by zeppelins and fixed - wing aircraft , another first . Naval raids ( edit ) Main articles : Raid on Yarmouth and Raid on Scarborough , Hartlepool and Whitby The Raid on Yarmouth , which took place in November 1914 , was an attack by the German Navy on the British North Sea port and town of Great Yarmouth . Little damage was done to the town itself , since shells only landed on the beach once German ships laying mines offshore were interrupted by British destroyers . One British submarine was sunk by a mine as it attempted to leave harbour and attack the German ships , while one German armoured cruiser was sunk after striking two mines outside its own home port . British propaganda fuelled by the German raid on Scarborough In December 1914 , the German navy carried out attacks on the British coastal towns of Scarborough , Hartlepool and Whitby . The attack resulted in 137 fatalities and 593 casualties , many of which were civilians . The attack made the German navy very unpopular with the British public , as an attack against British civilians in their homes . Likewise , the British Royal Navy was criticised for failing to prevent the raid . Bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft ( edit ) Main article : Bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft In April 1916 a German battlecruiser squadron with accompanying cruisers and destroyers bombarded the coastal ports of Yarmouth and Lowestoft . Although the ports had some military importance , the main aim of the raid was to entice out defending ships which could then be picked off either by the battlecruiser squadron or by the full High Seas Fleet , which was stationed at sea ready to intervene if an opportunity presented itself . The result was inconclusive : nearby Royal Navy units were too small to intervene so largely kept clear of the German battlecruisers , and the German ships withdrew before the first British fast response battlecruiser squadron or the Grand Fleet could arrive . British propaganda poster from 1915 , drawing on the fear of zeppelin attacks to aid recruitment Air raids ( edit ) Further information : Zeppelins in World War I German zeppelins bombed towns on the east coast , starting on 19 January 1915 with Great Yarmouth . London was also hit later in the same year , on 31 May . Propaganda supporting the British war effort often used these raids to their advantage : one recruitment poster claimed : `` It is far better to face the bullets than to be killed at home by a bomb '' ( see image ) . The reaction from the public , however , was mixed ; whilst 10,000 visited Scarborough to view the damage there , London theatres reported having fewer visitors during periods of `` Zeppelin weather '' -- dark , fine nights . Throughout 1917 Germany began to deploy increasing numbers of fixed - wing bombers , the Gotha G. IV 's first target being Folkestone on 25 May 1917 , following this attack the number of airship raids decreased rapidly in favour of raids by fixed wing aircraft , before Zeppelin raids were called off entirely . In total , Zeppelins dropped 6,000 bombs , resulting in 556 dead and 1,357 wounded . Soon after the raid on Folkestone , the bombers began raids on London : one daylight raid on 13 June 1917 by 14 Gothas caused 162 deaths in the East End of London . In response to this new threat , Major General Edward Bailey Ashmore , a RFC pilot who later commanded an artillery division in Belgium , was appointed to devise an improved system of detection , communication and control , The system , called the Metropolitan Observation Service , encompassed the London Air Defence Area and would later extend eastwards towards the Kentish and Essex coasts . The Metropolitan Observation Service was fully operational until the late summer of 1918 ( the last German bombing raid taking place on 19 May 1918 ) . During the war , the Germans carried out 51 airship raids and 52 fixed - wing bomber raids on England , which together dropped 280 tons of bombs . The casualties amounted to 1,413 killed , and 3,409 wounded . The success of anti-air defence measures was limited ; of the 397 aircraft that had taken part in raids , only 24 Gothas were shot down ( though 37 more were lost in accidents ) , despite an estimated rate of 14,540 anti-air rounds per aircraft . Anti-zeppelin defences were more successful , with 17 shot down and 21 lost in accidents . Media ( edit ) Propaganda ( edit ) Main article : British propaganda during World War I A world map showing territory that `` Germany Wants '' by Edward Stanford . 1917 . Close reading of the quoted material shows that the map is misleading : it implies that Germany plans to annex all the territory in red , but this is only the case for a small fraction of it . Propaganda and censorship were closely linked during the war . The need to maintain morale and counter German propaganda was recognised early in the war and the War Propaganda Bureau was established under the leadership of Charles Masterman in September 1914 . The Bureau enlisted eminent writers such as HG Wells , Arthur Conan Doyle , Rudyard Kipling as well as newspaper editors . Until its abolition in 1917 , the department published 300 books and pamphlets in 21 languages , distributed over 4,000 propaganda photographs every week , and circulated maps , cartoons , and lantern slides to the media . Masterman also commissioned films about the war such as The Battle of the Somme , which appeared in August 1916 , while the battle was still in progress as a morale - booster and in general it met with a favourable reception . The Times reported on 22 August 1916 that `` Crowded audiences ... were interested and thrilled to have the realities of war brought so vividly before them , and if women had sometimes to shut their eyes to escape for a moment from the tragedy of the toll of battle which the film presents , opinion seems to be general that it was wise that the people at home should have this glimpse of what our soldiers are doing and daring and suffering in Picardy '' . Newspapers ( edit ) Newspapers during the war were subject to the Defence of the Realm Act , which eventually had two regulations restricting what they could publish : Regulation 18 , which prohibited the leakage of sensitive military information , troop and shipping movements ; and Regulation 27 , which made it an offence to `` spread false reports '' , `` spread reports that were likely to prejudice recruiting '' , `` undermine public confidence in banks or currency '' or cause `` disaffection to His Majesty '' . Where the official Press Bureau failed ( it had no statutory powers until April 1916 ) , the newspaper editors and owners operated a ruthless self - censorship . Having worked for government , press barons Viscount Rothermere , Baron Beaverbrook ( in a sea of controversy ) , and Viscount Northcliffe all received titles . For these reasons , it has been concluded that censorship , which at its height suppressed only socialist journals ( and briefly the right wing The Globe ) had less effect on the British press than the reductions in advertising revenues and cost increases which they also faced during the war . One major loophole in the official censorship lay with parliamentary privilege , when anything said in Parliament could be reported freely . The most infamous act of censorship in the early days of the war was the sinking of HMS Audacious in October 1914 , when the press was directed not to report on the loss , despite the sinking being observed by passengers on the liner RMS Olympic and quickly reported in the American press . The most popular papers of the period included dailies such as The Times , The Daily Telegraph and The Morning Post , weekly newspapers such as The Graphic and periodicals like John Bull , which claimed a weekly circulation of 900,000 . The public demand for news of the war was reflected in the increased sales of newspapers . After the German Navy raid on Hartlepool and Scarborough , the Daily Mail devoted three full pages to the raid and the Evening News reported that The Times had sold out by a quarter past nine in the morning , even with inflated prices . The Daily Mail itself increased in circulation from 800,000 a day in 1914 to 1.5 million by 1916 . News magazines ( edit ) The public 's thirst for news and information was in part satisfied by news magazines , which were dedicated to reporting the war . They included amongst others The War Illustrated , The Illustrated War News , and The War Pictorial , and were lavishly filled with photographs and illustrations , regardless of their target audience . Magazines were produced for all classes , and ranged both in price and tone . Many otherwise famous writers contributed towards these publications , of which H.G. Wells , Arthur Conan Doyle and Rudyard Kipling were three examples . Editorial guidelines varied ; in cheaper publications especially it was considered more important to create a sense of patriotism than to relay up - to - the - minutes news of developments of the front . Stories of German atrocities were commonplace . Music ( edit ) On 13 August 1914 , the Irish regiment the Connaught Rangers were witnessed singing `` It 's a Long Way to Tipperary '' as they marched through Boulogne by the Daily Mail correspondent George Curnock , who reported the event in that newspaper on 18 August 1914 . The song was then picked up by other units of the British Army . In November 1914 , it was sung in a pantomime by the well - known music hall singer Florrie Forde , which helped contribute to its worldwide popularity . Another song from 1916 , which became very popular as a music hall and marching song , boosting British morale despite the horrors of that war , was `` Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit - Bag '' . War poems ( edit ) Further information : War poetry during World War I There was also a notable group of war poets who wrote about their own experiences of war , which caught the public attention . Some died on active service , most famously Rupert Brooke , Isaac Rosenberg , and Wilfred Owen , while some , such as Siegfried Sassoon survived . Themes of the poems included the youth ( or naivety ) of the soldiers , and the dignified manner in which they fought and died . This is evident in lines such as `` They fell with their faces to the foe '' , from the `` Ode of Remembrance '' taken from Laurence Binyon 's For the Fallen , which was first published in The Times in September 1914 . Female poets such as Vera Brittain also wrote from the home front , to lament the losses of brothers and lovers fighting on the front . Economy ( edit ) Main article : Economic history of World War I § British Empire On the whole the British successfully managed the economics of the war . There had been no prewar plan for mobilization of economic resources . Controls were imposed slowly , as one urgent need followed another . With the City of London the world 's financial capital , it was possible to handle finances smoothly ; in all Britain spent 4 million pounds everyday on the war effort . The economy ( in terms of GDP ) grew about 14 % from 1914 to 1918 despite the absence of so many men in the services ; by contrast the German economy shrank 27 % . The War saw a decline of civilian consumption , with a major reallocation to munitions . The government share of GDP soared from 8 % in 1913 to 38 % in 1918 ( compared to 50 % in 1943 ) . The war forced Britain to use up its financial reserves and borrow large sums from private and government creditors in the United States . Shipments of American raw materials and food allowed Britain to feed itself and its army while maintaining his productivity . The financing was generally successful , as the City 's strong financial position minimized the damaging effects of inflation , as opposed to much worse conditions in Germany . Overall consumer consumption declined 18 % from 1914 to 1919 . Women were available and many entered munitions factories and took other home front jobs vacated by men . Scotland specialized in providing manpower , ships , machinery , food ( particularly fish ) and money . Its shipbuilding industry expanding by a third . Rationing ( edit ) Main article : Rationing in the United Kingdom A British government wartime leaflet detailing the consequences of breaking the rationing laws In line with its `` business as usual '' policy , the government was initially reluctant to try to control the food markets . It fought off efforts to try to introduce minimum prices in cereal production , though relenting in the area of controlling of essential imports ( sugar , meat and grains ) . When it did introduce changes , they were only limited in their effect . In 1916 , it became illegal to consume more than two courses whilst lunching in a public eating place or more than three for dinner ; fines were introduced for members of the public found feeding the pigeons or stray animals . In January 1917 , Germany started using U-boats ( submarines ) in order to sink Allied and later neutral ships bringing food to the country in an attempt to starve Britain into surrender under their unrestricted submarine warfare programme . One response to this threat was to introduce voluntary rationing in February 1917 , a scheme said to have been endorsed by the King and Queen themselves . Bread was subsidised from September that year ; prompted by local authorities taking matters into their own hands , compulsory rationing was introduced in stages between December 1917 and February 1918 , as Britain 's supply of wheat stores decreased to just six weeks worth . It is said to have in the most part benefited the health of the country , through the ' levelling of consumption of essential foodstuffs ' . To assist with rationing , ration books were introduced on 15 July 1918 for butter , margarine , lard , meat , and sugar . During the war , average calorific intake decreased only three percent , but protein intake six percent . Industry ( edit ) Forging steel shell cases Total British production fell by ten percent over the course of the war ; there were , however , increases in certain industries such as steel . Although Britain faced a highly contentious Shell Crisis of 1915 With severe shortages of artillery shells reported from the Western Front . In 1915 , a powerful new Ministry of Munitions under David Lloyd George was formed to control munitions production . The Government 's policy , according to historian and Conservative politician J.A.R. Marriott , was that : no private interest was to be permitted to obstruct the service , or imperil the safety , of the State . Trade Union regulations must be suspended ; employers ' profits must be limited , skilled men must fight , if not in the trenches , in the factories ; man - power must be economize by the dilution of labour and the employment of women ; Private factories must pass under the control of the State , and new national factories be set up . Results justified the new policy : the output was prodigious ; the goods were at last delivered . By April 1915 , just two million rounds of shells had been sent to France ; by the end of the war the figure had reached 187 million , and a year 's worth of pre-war production of light munitions could be completed in just four days by 1918 . Aircraft production in 1914 provided employment for 60,000 men and women ; by 1918 British firms employed over 347,000 . Labour ( edit ) Industrial production of munitions was a central feature of the war , and with a third of the men in the labour force moved into the military , demand was very high for industrial labour . Large numbers of women were employed temporarily . Most trade unions gave strong support to the war effort , cutting back on strikes and restrictive practices . However the coal miners and engineers were less enthusiastic . Trade unions were encouraged as membership grew from 4.1 million in 1914 to 6.5 million in 1918 , peaking at 8.3 million in 1920 before relapsing to 5.4 million in 1923 . Membership soared from 4.1 million in 1914 to 6.5 million in 1918 , peaking at 8.3 million in 1920 before relapsing to 5.4 million in 1923 . In 1914 , 65 % of union members had been associated with the Trades Union Congress ( TUC ) rising to 77 % in 1920 . Women were grudgingly admitted to the trade unions . Looking at a union of unskilled workers , Cathy Hunt concludes its regard for women workers , `` was at best inconsistent and at worst aimed almost entirely at improving and protecting working conditions for its male members . '' Labour 's prestige had never been higher , and it systematically placed its leaders into Parliament . The Munitions of War Act 1915 followed the Shell Crisis of 1915 when supplies of material to the front became a political issue . The Act forbade strikes and lockouts and replaced them with compulsory arbitration . It set up a system of controlling war industries , and established munitions tribunals that were special courts to enforce good working practices . It suspended , for the duration , restrictive practices by trade unions . It tried to control labour mobility between jobs . The courts ruled the definition of munitions was broad enough to include textile workers and dock workers . The 1915 act was repealed in 1919 , but similar legislation took effect during the Second World War . It was only as late as December 1917 that a War Cabinet Committee on Manpower was established , and the British government refrained from introducing compulsory labour direction ( though 388 men were moved as part of the voluntary National Service Scheme ) . Belgian refugees became workers , though they were often seen as `` job stealers '' . Likewise , the use of Irish workers , because they were exempt from conscription , was another source of resentment . Worried about the impact of the dilution of labour caused by bringing external groups into the main labour pool , workers in some areas turned to strike action . The efficiency of major industries improved markedly during the war . For example , the Singer Clydebank sewing machine factory received over 5000 government contracts , and made 303 million artillery shells , shell components , fuzes , and airplane parts , as well as grenades , rifle parts , and 361,000 horseshoes . Its labour force of 14,000 was about 70 percent female at war 's end . Energy ( edit ) Energy was a critical factor for the British war effort . Most of the energy supplies came from coal mines in Britain , where the issue was labour supply . Critical however was the flow of oil for ships , lorries and industrial use . There were no oil wells in Britain so everything was imported . The U.S. pumped two - thirds of the world 's oil . In 1917 , total British consumption was 827 million barrels , of which 85 percent was supplied by the United States , and 6 percent by Mexico . The great issue in 1917 was how many tankers would survive the German u-boats . Convoys and the construction of new tankers solved the German threat , while tight government controls guaranteed that all essential needs were covered . An Inter-Allied Petroleum Conference allocated American supplies to Britain , France and Italy . Fuel oil for the Royal Navy was the highest priority . In 1917 , the Royal Navy consumed 12,500 tons a month , but had a supply of 30,000 tons a month from the Anglo - Persian Oil Company , using their oil wells in Persia . Social change ( edit ) Main article : Women 's roles in the World Wars § World War I Variously throughout the war , serious shortage of able - bodied men ( `` manpower '' ) occurred in the country , and women were required to take on many of the traditional male roles , particularly in the area of arms manufacture ; though this was only significant in the later years of the war , since unemployed men were often prioritised by employers . Women both found work in the munitions factories ( as `` munitionettes '' ) despite initial trade union opposition , which directly helped the war effort , but also in the Civil Service , where they took men 's jobs , releasing them for the front . The number of women employed by the service increased from 33,000 in 1911 to over 102,000 by 1921 . The overall increase in female employment is estimated at 1.4 million , from 5.9 to 7.3 million , and female trade union membership increased from 357,000 in 1914 to over a million by 1918 -- an increase of 160 percent . Beckett suggests that most of these were working class women going into work at a younger age than they would otherwise have done , or married women returning to work . This taken together with the fact that only 23 percent of women in the munitions industry were actually doing men 's jobs , would limit substantially the overall impact of the war on the long - term prospects of the working woman . First World War poster When the government targeted women early in the war focussed on extending their existing roles -- helping with Belgian refugees , for example -- but also on improving recruitment rates amongst men . They did this both through the so - called `` Order of the White Feather '' and through the promise of home comforts for the men while they were at the front . In February 1916 , groups were set up and a campaign started to get women to help in agriculture and in March 1917 , the Women 's Land Army was set up . One goal was to attract middle - class women who would act as models for patriotic engagement in nontraditional duties . However the uniform of the Women 's Land Army included male overalls and trousers , which sparked debate on the propriety of such cross-dressing . The government responded with rhetoric that explicitly feminized the new roles . In 1918 , the Board of Trade estimated that there were 148,000 women in agricultural employment , though a figure of nearly 260,000 has also been suggested . The war also caused a split in the British suffragette movement , with the mainstream , represented by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel 's Women 's Social and Political Union , calling a ' ceasefire ' in their campaign for the duration of the war . In contrast , more radical suffragettes , like the Women 's Suffrage Federation run by Emmeline 's other daughter , Sylvia , continued their ( at times violent ) struggle . Women were also allowed to join the armed forces in a non-combatant role and by the end of the War 80,000 women had joined the armed forces in auxiliary roles such as nursing and cooking . Following the war , millions of returning soldiers were still not entitled to vote . This posed another dilemma for politicians since they could be seen to be withholding the vote from the very men who had just fought to preserve the British democratic political system . The Representation of the People Act 1918 attempted to solve the problem , enfranchising all adult males as long as they were over 21 years old and were resident householders . It also gave the vote to women over 30 who met minimum property qualifications . The enfranchisement of this latter group was accepted as recognition of the contribution made by women defence workers , though the actual feelings of members of parliament ( MPs ) at the time is questioned . In the same year the Parliament ( Qualification of Women ) Act 1918 allowed women over 21 to stand as MPs . The new coalition government of 1918 charged itself with the task of creating a `` land fit for heroes '' , from a speech given in Wolverhampton by David Lloyd George on 23 November 1918 , where he stated `` What is our task ? To make Britain a fit country for heroes to live in . '' More generally , the war has been credited , both during and after the conflict , with removing some of the social barriers that had pervaded Victorian and Edwardian Britain . Regional conditions ( edit ) The War had a profound influence upon rural areas , as the U-boat blockade required the government to take full control of the food chain , as well as agricultural labour . Cereal production was a high priority , and the Corn Production Act 1917 guaranteed prices , regulated wage rates , and required farmers to meet efficiency standards . The government campaigned heavily for turning marginal land into cropland . The Women 's Land Army brought in 23,000 young women from the towns and cities to milk cows , pick fruit and otherwise replace the men who joined the services . More extensive use of tractors and machinery also replaced farm labourers . However , there was a shortage of both men and horses on the land by late 1915 . County War Agricultural Executive Committees reported that the continued removal of men was undercutting food production because of the farmers ' belief that operating a farm required a set number of men and horses . Kenneth Morgan argues that , `` the overwhelming mass of the Welsh people cast aside their political and industrial divisions and threw themselves into the war with gusto . '' Intellectuals and ministers actively promoted the war spirit . With 280,000 men enrolled in the services ( 14 % of the population ) , the proportionate effort in Wales outstripped both England and Scotland . However Adrian Gregory points out that the Welsh coal miners , while officially supporting the war effort , refused the government request to cut short their vacation time . After some debate , the miners agreed to extend the working day . Scotland 's distinctive characteristics have attracted significant attention from scholars . Daniel Coetzee shows it supported the war effort with widespread enthusiasm . Casualties ( edit ) See also : World War I casualties Poster for a fundraising event in support of Welsh troops by Frank Brangwyn In the post war publication Statistics of the Military Effort of the British Empire During the Great War 1914 -- 1920 ( The War Office , March 1922 ) , the official report lists 908,371 ' soldiers ' as being either killed in action , dying of wounds , dying as prisoners of war or missing in action in the World War . ( This is broken down into Britain and its colonies 704,121 ; British India 64,449 ; Canada 56,639 ; Australia 59,330 ; New Zealand 16,711 ; South Africa 7,121 . ) Listed separately were the Royal Navy ( including the Royal Naval Air Service until 31 March 1918 ) war dead and missing of 32,287 and the Merchant Navy war dead of 14,661 . The figures for the Royal Flying Corps and the nascent Royal Air Force were not given in the War Office report . A second publication , Casualties and Medical Statistics ( 1931 ) , the final volume of the Official Medical History of the War , gives British Empire Army losses by cause of death . The total losses in combat from 1914 to 1918 were 876,084 , which included 418,361 killed , 167,172 died of wounds , 113,173 died of disease or injury , 161,046 missing presumed dead and 16,332 died as a prisoner of war . The Commonwealth War Graves Commission lists 888,246 war dead from the UK and colonies ( excluding the dominions , which are listed separately ) . This figure includes identified burials and those commemorated by name on memorials ; there are an additional 187,644 unidentified burials from the Commonwealth ( then Empire ) as a whole . The civilian death rate exceeded the prewar level by 292,000 , which included 109,000 deaths due to food shortages and 183,577 from Spanish Flu . The 1922 War Office report detailed the deaths of 1,260 civilians and 310 military personnel due to air and sea bombardment the home islands . Losses at sea were 908 civilians and 63 fisherman killed by U-boat attacks . With a population of 4.8 million in 1911 , Scotland sent 690,000 men to the war , of whom 74,000 died in combat or from disease , and 150,000 were seriously wounded . At times Scottish troops made up large proportions of the active combatants , and suffered corresponding loses , as at the Battle of Loos , where there were three full Scots divisions and other Scottish units . Thus , although Scots were only 10 per cent of the British population , they made up 15 per cent of the national armed forces and eventually accounted for 20 per cent of the dead . Some areas , like the thinly populated Island of Lewis and Harris suffered some of the highest proportional losses of any part of Britain . Clydeside shipyards and the engineering shops of west - central Scotland became the most significant centre of shipbuilding and arms production in the Empire . In the Lowlands , particularly Glasgow , poor working and living conditions led to industrial and political unrest . Legacy and Memory ( edit ) The extent of the British Empire in 1898 The extent of the British Empire in 1914 The extent of the British Empire in 1921 The horrors of the Western Front as well as Gallipoli and Mesopotamia were seared into the collective consciousness of the twentieth century . To a large extent the understanding of the war in popular culture focused on the first day of the Battle of the Somme . Historian A.J.P. Taylor argued , `` The Somme set the picture by which future generations saw the First World War : brave helpless soldiers ; blundering obstinate generals ; nothing achieved . '' Images of trench warfare became iconic symbols of human suffering and endurance . The post-war world had many veterans who were maimed or damaged by shell shock . In 1921 1,187,450 men were in receipt of pensions for war disabilities , with a fifth of these having suffered serious loss of limbs or eyesight , paralysis or lunacy . The war was a major economic catastrophe as Britain went from being the world 's largest overseas investor to being its biggest debtor , with interest payments consuming around 40 percent of the national budget . Inflation more than doubled between 1914 and its peak in 1920 , while the value of the Pound Sterling fell by 61.2 percent . Reparations in the form of free German coal depressed the local industry , precipitating the 1926 General Strike . During the war British private investments abroad were sold , raising £ 550 million . However , £ 250 million new investment also took place during the war . The net financial loss was therefore approximately £ 300 million ; less than two years investment compared to the pre-war average rate and more than replaced by 1928 . Material loss was `` slight '' : the most significant being 40 percent of the British merchant fleet sunk by German U-boats . Most of this was replaced in 1918 and all immediately after the war . The military historian Correlli Barnett has argued that `` in objective truth the Great War in no way inflicted crippling economic damage on Britain '' but that the war only `` crippled the British psychologically '' ( emphasis in original ) . Less concrete changes include the growing assertiveness of the Dominions within the British Empire . Battles such as Gallipoli for Australia and New Zealand , and Vimy Ridge for Canada led to increased national pride and a greater reluctance to remain subordinate to London . These battles were often portrayed favourably in these nations ' propaganda as symbolic of their power during the war . The war released pent - up indigenous nationalism , as populations tried to take advantage of the precedent set by the introduction of self - determination in eastern Europe . Britain was to face unrest in Ireland ( 1919 -- 21 ) , India ( 1919 ) , Egypt ( 1919 -- 23 ) , Palestine ( 1920 -- 21 ) and Iraq ( 1920 ) at a time when they were supposed to be demilitarising . Nevertheless , Britain 's only territorial loss came in Ireland , where the delay in finding a resolution to the home rule issue , along with the 1916 Easter Rising and a failed attempt to introduce conscription in Ireland , increased support for separatist radicals , and led indirectly to the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence in 1919 . Further change came in 1919 . With the Treaty of Versailles , London took charge of an additional 1,800,000 square miles ( 4,700,000 km ) and 13 million new subjects . The colonies of Germany and the Ottoman Empire were distributed to the Allied powers ( and to Australia , New Zealand and South Africa ) as League of Nations mandates , with the United Kingdom at least gaining control of Palestine and Transjordan , Iraq , parts of Cameroon and Togo , and Tanganyika . Indeed , the British Empire reached its territorial peak after the settlement .

"The British Royal Family faced a serious problem during the First World War because of its blood ties to the ruling family of Germany, Britain's prime adversary in the war. Before the war, the British royal family had been known as the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. In 1910, George V became King on the death of his father, King Edward VII, and remained king throughout the war. He was the first cousin of the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, who came to symbolise all the horrors of the war. Queen Mary, although British like her mother, was the daughter of the Duke of Teck, a descendant of the German Royal House of Württemberg. During the war H. G. Wells wrote about Britain's \"alien and uninspiring court\", and George famously replied: \"I may be uninspiring, but I'll be damned if I'm alien.\"[46]"

-4407124027501847756 | Ode on a Grecian Urn | Ode on a Grecian urn - wikipedia Ode on a Grecian urn Jump to : navigation , search Tracing of an engraving of the Sosibios vase by Keats `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' is a poem written by the English Romantic poet John Keats in May 1819 and published anonymously in the January 1820 , Number 15 , issue of the magazine Annals of the Fine Arts ( see 1820 in poetry ) . The poem is one of several `` Great Odes of 1819 '' , which includes `` Ode on Indolence '' , `` Ode on Melancholy '' , `` Ode to a Nightingale '' , and `` Ode to Psyche '' . Keats found earlier forms of poetry unsatisfactory for his purpose , and the collection represented a new development of the ode form . He was inspired to write the poem after reading two articles by English artist and writer Benjamin Haydon . Keats was aware of other works on classical Greek art , and had first - hand exposure to the Elgin Marbles , all of which reinforced his belief that classical Greek art was idealistic and captured Greek virtues , which forms the basis of the poem . Divided into five stanzas of ten lines each , the ode contains a narrator 's discourse on a series of designs on a Grecian urn . The poem focuses on two scenes : one in which a lover eternally pursues a beloved without fulfilment , and another of villagers about to perform a sacrifice . The final lines of the poem declare that `` ' beauty is truth , truth beauty , ' -- that is all / Ye know on earth , and all ye need to know '' , and literary critics have debated whether they increase or diminish the overall beauty of the poem . Critics have focused on other aspects of the poem , including the role of the narrator , the inspirational qualities of real - world objects , and the paradoxical relationship between the poem 's world and reality . `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' was not well received by contemporary critics . It was only by the mid-19th century that it began to be praised , although it is now considered to be one of the greatest odes in the English language . A long debate over the poem 's final statement divided 20th - century critics , but most agreed on the beauty of the work , despite various perceived inadequacies . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Structure 3 Poem 4 Themes 5 Critical response 5.1 Beauty is truth debate 5.2 Later responses 6 Notes 7 References 8 Bibliography 9 External links Background ( edit ) John Keats in 1819 , painted by his friend Joseph Severn By the spring of 1819 , Keats had left his job as dresser , or assistant house surgeon , at Guy 's Hospital , Southwark , London , to devote himself entirely to the composition of poetry . Living with his friend Charles Brown , the 23 - year - old was burdened with money problems and despaired when his brother George sought his financial assistance . These real - world difficulties may have given Keats pause for thought about a career in poetry , yet he did manage to complete five odes , including `` Ode to a Nightingale '' , `` Ode to Psyche '' , `` Ode on Melancholy '' , `` Ode on Indolence '' , and `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' . The poems were transcribed by Brown , who later provided copies to the publisher Richard Woodhouse . Their exact date of composition is unknown ; Keats simply dated `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' May 1819 , as he did its companion odes . While the five poems display a unity in stanza forms and themes , the unity fails to provide clear evidence of the order in which they were composed . In the odes of 1819 Keats explores his contemplations about relationships between the soul , eternity , nature , and art . His idea of using classical Greek art as a metaphor originated in his reading of Haydon 's Examiner articles of 2 May and 9 May 1819 . In the first article , Haydon described Greek sacrifice and worship , and in the second article , he contrasted the artistic styles of Raphael and Michelangelo in conjunction with a discussion of medieval sculptures . Keats also had access to prints of Greek urns at Haydon 's office , and he traced an engraving of the `` Sosibios Vase '' , a Neo-Attic marble volute krater , signed by Sosibios , in The Louvre , which he found in Henry Moses 's A Collection of Antique Vases , Altars , Paterae . Keats 's inspiration for the topic was not limited to Haydon , but embraced many contemporary sources . He may have recalled his experience with the Elgin Marbles and their influence on his sonnet `` On Seeing the Elgin Marbles '' . Keats was also exposed to the Townley , Borghese , and Holland House vases and to the classical treatment of subjects in Robert Burton 's The Anatomy of Melancholy . Many contemporary essays and articles on these works shared Keats 's view that classical Greek art was both idealistic and captured Greek virtues . Although he was influenced by examples of existing Greek vases , in the poem he attempted to describe an ideal artistic type , rather than a specific original vase . Although `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' was completed in May 1819 , its first printing came in January 1820 when it was published with `` Ode to a Nightingale '' in the Annals of Fine Art , an art magazine that promoted views on art similar to those Keats held . Following the initial publication , the Examiner published Keats 's ode together with Haydon 's two previously published articles . Keats also included the poem in his 1820 collection Lamia , Isabella , The Eve of St Agnes , and Other Poems . Structure ( edit ) In 1819 , Keats had attempted to write sonnets , but found that the form did not satisfy his purpose because the pattern of rhyme worked against the tone that he wished to achieve . When he turned to the ode form , he found that the standard Pindaric form used by poets such as John Dryden was inadequate for properly discussing philosophy . Keats developed his own type of ode in `` Ode to Psyche '' , which preceded `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' and other odes he wrote in 1819 . Keats 's creation established a new poetic tone that accorded with his aesthetic ideas about poetry . He further altered this new form in `` Ode to a Nightingale '' and `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' by adding a secondary voice within the ode , creating a dialogue between two subjects . The technique of the poem is ekphrasis , the poetic representation of a painting or sculpture in words . Keats broke from the traditional use of ekphrasis found in Theocritus 's Idyll , a classical poem that describes a design on the sides of a cup . While Theocritus describes both motion found in a stationary artwork and underlying motives of characters , `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' replaces actions with a series of questions and focuses only on external attributes of the characters . `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' is organized into ten - line stanzas , beginning with an ABAB rhyme scheme and ending with a Miltonic sestet ( 1st and 5th stanzas CDEDCE , 2nd stanza CDECED , and 3rd and 4th stanzas CDECDE ) . The same overall pattern is used in `` Ode on Indolence '' , `` Ode on Melancholy '' , and `` Ode to a Nightingale '' ( though their sestet rhyme schemes vary ) , which makes the poems unified in structure as well as theme . The word `` ode '' itself is of Greek origin , meaning `` sung '' . While ode - writers from antiquity adhered to rigid patterns of strophe , antistrophe , and epode , the form by Keats 's time had undergone enough transformation that it represented a manner rather than a set method for writing a certain type of lyric poetry . Keats 's odes seek to find a `` classical balance '' between two extremes , and in the structure of `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' , these extremes are the symmetrical structure of classical literature and the asymmetry of Romantic poetry . The use of the ABAB structure in the beginning lines of each stanza represents a clear example of structure found in classical literature , and the remaining six lines appear to break free of the traditional poetic styles of Greek and Roman odes . Keats 's metre reflects a conscious development in his poetic style . The poem contains only a single instance of medial inversion ( the reversal of an iamb in the middle of a line ) , which was common in his earlier works . However , Keats incorporates spondees in 37 of the 250 metrical feet . Caesurae are never placed before the fourth syllable in a line . The word choice represents a shift from Keats 's early reliance on Latinate polysyllabic words to shorter , Germanic words . In the second stanza , `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' , which emphasizes words containing the letters `` p '' , `` b '' , and `` v '' , uses syzygy , the repetition of a consonantal sound . The poem incorporates a complex reliance on assonance , which is found in very few English poems . Within `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' , an example of this pattern can be found in line 13 ( `` Not to the sensual ear , but , more endear 'd '' ) where the `` e '' of `` sensual '' connects with the `` e '' of `` endear 'd '' and the `` ea '' of `` ear '' connects with the `` ea '' of `` endear 'd '' . A more complex form is found in line 11 ( `` Heard melodies are sweet , but those unheard '' ) with the `` ea '' of `` Heard '' connecting to the `` ea '' of `` unheard '' , the `` o '' of `` melodies '' connecting to the `` o '' of `` those '' and the `` u '' of `` but '' connecting to the `` u '' of `` unheard '' . Poem ( edit ) First known copy of `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' , transcribed by George Keats in 1820 The poem begins with the narrator 's silencing the urn by describing it as the `` bride of quietness '' , which allows him to speak for it using his own impressions . The narrator addresses the urn by saying : Thou still unravish 'd bride of quietness ! Thou foster - child of silence and slow time ( lines 1 -- 2 ) The urn is a `` foster - child of silence and slow time '' because it was created from stone and made by the hand of an artist who did not communicate through words . As stone , time has little effect on it and ageing is such a slow process that it can be seen as an eternal piece of artwork . The urn is an external object capable of producing a story outside the time of its creation , and because of this ability the poet labels it a `` sylvan historian '' that tells its story through its beauty : Sylvan historian , who canst thus express A flow'ry tale more sweetly than our rhyme : What leaf - fring 'd legend haunts about thy shape Of deities or mortals , or of both , In Tempe or the dales of Arcady ? What men or gods are these ? What maidens loth ? What mad pursuit ? What struggle to escape ? What pipes and timbrels ? What wild ecstasy ? ( lines 3 -- 10 ) The questions presented in these lines are too ambiguous to allow the reader to understand what is taking place in the images on the urn , but elements of it are revealed : there is a pursuit with a strong sexual component . The melody accompanying the pursuit is intensified in the second stanza : Heard melodies are sweet , but those unheard Are sweeter ; therefore , ye soft pipes , play on ; Not to the sensual ear , but , more endear 'd , Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone : ( lines 11 -- 14 ) There is a hint of a paradox in that indulgence causes someone to be filled with desire and that music without a sound is desired by the soul . There is a stasis that prohibits the characters on the urn from ever being fulfilled : Bold Lover , never , never canst thou kiss , Though winning near the goal -- yet , do not grieve ; She can not fade , though thou hast not thy bliss , For ever wilt thou love , and she be fair ! ( lines 17 -- 20 ) In the third stanza , the narrator begins by speaking to a tree , which will ever hold its leaves and will not `` bid the Spring adieu '' . The paradox of life versus lifelessness extends beyond the lover and the fair lady and takes a more temporal shape as three of the ten lines begin with the words `` for ever '' . The unheard song never ages and the pipes are able to play forever , which leads the lovers , nature , and all involved to be : For ever panting , and for ever young ; All breathing human passion far above , That leaves a heart high - sorrowful and cloyed , A burning forehead , and a parching tongue . ( lines 27 -- 30 ) Raphael 's The Sacrifice at Lystra A new paradox arises in these lines because these immortal lovers are experiencing a living death . To overcome this paradox of merged life and death , the poem shifts to a new scene with a new perspective . The fourth stanza opens with the sacrifice of a virgin cow , an image that appeared in the Elgin Marbles , Claude Lorrain 's Sacrifice to Apollo , and Raphael 's The Sacrifice at Lystra Who are these coming to the sacrifice ? To what green altar , O mysterious priest , Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies , And all her silken flanks with garlands drest ? What little town by river or sea shore , Or mountain - built with peaceful citadel , Is emptied of its folk , this pious morn ? And , little town , thy streets for evermore Will silent be ; and not a soul to tell Why thou art desolate , can e'er return . ( lines 31 -- 40 ) All that exists in the scene is a procession of individuals , and the narrator conjectures on the rest . The altar and town exist as part of a world outside art , and the poem challenges the limitations of art through describing their possible existence . The questions are unanswered because there is no one who can ever know the true answers , as the locations are not real . The final stanza begins with a reminder that the urn is a piece of eternal artwork : O Attic shape ! Fair attitude ! with brede Of marble men and maidens overwrought , With forest branches and the trodden weed ; Thou , silent form , dost tease us out of thought As doth eternity : Cold pastoral ! ( lines 41 -- 45 ) The audience is limited in its ability to comprehend the eternal scene , but the silent urn is still able to speak to them . The story it tells is both cold and passionate , and it is able to help mankind . The poem concludes with the urn 's message : When old age shall this generation waste , Thou shalt remain , in midst of other woe Than ours , a friend to man , to whom thou sayst , `` Beauty is truth , truth beauty , '' -- that is all Ye know on earth , and all ye need to know . ( lines 46 -- 50 ) Themes ( edit ) Keats , Listening to a Nightingale on Hampstead Heath by Joseph Severn Like many of Keats 's odes , `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' discusses art and art 's audience . He relied on depictions of natural music in earlier poems , and works such as `` Ode to a Nightingale '' appeal to auditory sensations while ignoring the visual . Keats reverses this when describing an urn within `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' to focus on representational art . He previously used the image of an urn in `` Ode on Indolence '' , depicting one with three figures representing Love , Ambition and Poesy . Of these three , Love and Poesy are integrated into `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' with an emphasis on how the urn , as a human artistic construct , is capable of relating to the idea of `` Truth '' . The images of the urn described within the poem are intended as obvious depictions of common activities : an attempt at courtship , the making of music , and a religious rite . The figures are supposed to be beautiful , and the urn itself is supposed to be realistic . Although the poem does not include the subjective involvement of the narrator , the description of the urn within the poem implies a human observer that draws out these images . The narrator interacts with the urn in a manner similar to how a critic would respond to the poem , which creates ambiguity in the poem 's final lines : `` ' Beauty is truth , truth beauty , ' -- that is all / Ye know on earth , and all ye need to know . '' The lack of a definite voice of the urn causes the reader to question who is really speaking these words , to whom they are speaking , and what is meant by the words , which encourages the reader to interact with the poem in an interrogative manner like the narrator . As a symbol , an urn can not completely represent poetry , but it does serve as one component in describing the relationship between art and humanity . The nightingale of `` Ode to a Nightingale '' is separated from humanity and does not have human concerns . In contrast , being a piece of art , the urn requires an audience and is in an incomplete state on its own . This allows the urn to interact with humanity , to put forth a narrative , and allows for the imagination to operate . The images on the urn provoke the narrator to ask questions , and the silence of the urn reinforces the imagination 's ability to operate . This interaction and use of the imagination is part of a greater tradition called ut pictura poesis -- the contemplation of art by a poet -- which serves as a meditation upon art itself . In this meditation , the narrator dwells on the aesthetic and mimetic features of art . The beginning of the poem posits that the role of art is to describe a specific story about those with whom the audience is unfamiliar , and the narrator wishes to know the identity of the figures in a manner similar to `` Ode on Indolence '' and `` Ode to Psyche '' . The figures on the urn within `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' lack identities , but the first section ends with the narrator believing that if he knew the story , he would know their names . The second section of the poem , describing the piper and the lovers , meditates on the possibility that the role of art is not to describe specifics but universal characters , which falls under the term `` Truth '' . The three figures would represent how Love , Beauty , and Art are unified together in an idealised world where art represents the feelings of the audience . The audience is not supposed to question the events but instead to rejoice in the happy aspects of the scene in a manner that reverses the claims about art in `` Ode to a Nightingale '' . Similarly , the response of the narrator to the sacrifice is not compatible with the response of the narrator to the lovers . The two contradictory responses found in the first and second scenes of `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' are inadequate for completely describing art , because Keats believed that art should not provide history or ideals . Instead , both are replaced with a philosophical tone that dominates the meditation on art . The sensual aspects are replaced with an emphasis on the spiritual aspects , and the last scene describes a world contained unto itself . The relationship between the audience with the world is for benefiting or educating , but merely to emphatically connect to the scene . In the scene , the narrator contemplates where the boundaries of art lie and how much an artist can represent on an urn . The questions the narrator asks reveal a yearning to understand the scene , but the urn is too limited to allow such answers . Furthermore , the narrator is able to visualise more than what actually exists on the urn . This conclusion on art is both satisfying , in that it allows the audience to actually connect with the art , and alienating , as it does not provide the audience the benefit of instruction or narcissistic fulfilment . Besides the contradictions between the various desires within the poem , there are other paradoxes that emerge as the narrator compares his world with that of the figures on the urn . In the opening line , he refers to the urn as a `` bride of quietness '' , which serves to contrast the urn with the structure of the ode , a type of poem originally intended to be sung . Another paradox arises when the narrator describes immortals on the side of an urn meant to carry the ashes of the dead . In terms of the actual figures upon the urn , the image of the lovers depicts the relationship of passion and beauty with art . In `` Ode to a Nightingale '' and `` Ode on Melancholy '' , Keats describes how beauty is temporary . However , the figures of the urn are able to always enjoy their beauty and passion because of their artistic permanence . The urn 's description as a bride invokes a possibility of consummation , which is symbolic of the urn 's need for an audience . Charles Patterson , in a 1954 essay , explains that `` It is erroneous to assume that here Keats is merely disparaging the bride of flesh wed to man and glorifying the bride of marble wed to quietness . He could have achieved that simple effect more deftly with some other image than the richly ambivalent unravished bride , which conveys ... a hint of disparagement : It is natural for brides to be possessed physically ... it is unnatural for them not to be . '' John Jones , in his 1969 analysis , emphasises this sexual dimension within the poem by comparing the relationship between `` the Eve Adam dreamed of and who was there when he woke up '' and the `` bridal urn '' of `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' . Helen Vendler expands on the idea , in her 1983 analysis of Keats 's odes , when she claimed `` the complex mind writing the Urn connects stillness and quietness to ravishment and a bride '' . In the second stanza , Keats `` voices the generating motive of the poem -- the necessary self - exhaustion and self - perpetuation of sexual appetite . '' To Vendler , desire and longing could be the source of artistic creativity , but the urn contains two contradicting expressions of sexuality : a lover chasing after a beloved and a lover with his beloved . This contradiction reveals Keats 's belief that such love in general was unattainable and that `` The true opponent to the urn - experience of love is not satisfaction but extinction . '' Critical response ( edit ) The first response to the poem came in an anonymous review in the July 1820 Monthly Review , which claimed , `` Mr Keats displays no great nicety in his selection of images . According to the tenets of that school of poetry to which he belongs , he thinks that any thing or object in nature is a fit material on which the poet may work ... Can there be a more pointed concetto than this address to the Piping Shepherds on a Grecian Urn ? '' Another anonymous review followed in the 29 July 1820 Literary Chronicle and Weekly Review that quoted the poem with a note that said that `` Among the minor poems , many of which possess considerable merit , the following appears to be the best '' . Josiah Conder , in a September 1820 Eclectic Review , argues that : Mr Keats , seemingly , can think or write of scarcely any thing else than the ' happy pieties ' of Paganism . A Grecian Urn throws him into an ecstasy : its ' silent form , ' he says , ' doth tease us out of thought as doth Eternity , ' -- a very happy description of the bewildering effect which such subjects have at least had upon his own mind ; and his fancy having thus got the better of his reason , we are the less surprised at the oracle which the Urn is made to utter : ' Beauty is truth , truth beauty , ' -- that is all Ye know on earth , and all ye need to know . That is , all that Mr Keats knows or cares to know. -- But till he knows much more than this , he will never write verses fit to live . George Gilfillan , in an 1845 essay on Keats , placed the poem among `` The finest of Keats ' smaller pieces '' and suggested that `` In originality , Keats has seldom been surpassed . His works ' rise like an exhalation . ' His language has been formed on a false system ; but , ere he died , was clarifying itself from its more glaring faults , and becoming copious clear , and select . He seems to have been averse to all speculative thought , and his only creed , we fear , was expressed in the words -- Beauty is truth , -- truth beauty '' . The 1857 Encyclopædia Britannica contained an article on Keats by Alexander Smith , which stated : `` Perhaps the most exquisite specimen of Keats ' poetry is the ' Ode to the Grecian Urn ' ; it breathes the very spirit of antiquity , -- eternal beauty and eternal repose . '' During the mid-19th century , Matthew Arnold claimed that the passage describing the little town `` is Greek , as Greek as a thing from Homer or Theocritus ; it is composed with the eye on the object , a radiancy and light clearness being added . '' Beauty is truth debate ( edit ) The 20th century marked the beginning of a critical dispute over the final lines of the poem and their relationship to the beauty of the whole work . Poet laureate Robert Bridges sparked the debate when he argued : The thought as enounced in the first stanza is the supremacy of ideal art over Nature , because of its unchanging expression of perfect ; and this is true and beautiful ; but its amplification in the poem is unprogressive , monotonous , and scattered ... which gives an effect of poverty in spite of the beauty . The last stanza enters stumbling upon a pun , but its concluding lines are very fine , and make a sort of recovery with their forcible directness . Bridges believed that the final lines redeemed an otherwise bad poem . Arthur Quiller - Couch responded with a contrary view and claimed that the lines were `` a vague observation -- to anyone whom life has taught to face facts and define his terms , actually an uneducated conclusion , albeit most pardonable in one so young and ardent . '' The debate expanded when I. A. Richards , an English literary critic who analysed Keats 's poems in 1929 , relied on the final lines of the `` Ode on a Grecian Urn '' to discuss `` pseudo-statements '' in poetry : On the one hand there are very many people who , if they read any poetry at all , try to take all its statements seriously -- and find them silly ... This may seem an absurd mistake but , alas ! it is none the less common . On the other hand there are those who succeed too well , who swallow ' Beauty is truth , truth beauty ... , ' as the quintessence of an aesthetic philosophy , not as the expression of a certain blend of feelings , and proceed into a complete stalemate of muddle - mindedness as a result of their linguistic naivety . Poet and critic T.S. Eliot , in his 1929 `` Dante '' essay , responded to Richards : I am at first inclined to agree ... But on re-reading the whole Ode , this line strikes me as a serious blemish on a beautiful poem , and the reason must be either that I fail to understand it , or that it is a statement which is untrue . And I suppose that Keats meant something by it , however remote his truth and his beauty may have been from these words in ordinary use . And I am sure that he would have repudiated any explanation of the line which called it a pseudo-statement ... The statement of Keats seems to me meaningless : or perhaps the fact that it is grammatically meaningless conceals another meaning from me . In 1930 , John Middleton Murry gave a history of these responses `` to show the astonishing variety of opinion which exists at this day concerning the culmination of a poem whose beauty has been acknowledged for many years . Whether such another cause , and such another example , of critical diversity exists , I can not say ; if it does , it is unknown to me . My own opinion concerning the value of those two lines in the context of the poem itself is not very different from Mr. Eliot 's . '' Cleanth Brooks defended the lines from critics in 1947 and argued : We shall not feel that the generalization , unqualified and to be taken literally , is meant to march out of its context to compete with the scientific and philosophical generalizations which dominate our world . ' Beauty is truth , truth beauty ' has precisely the same status , and the same justification as Shakespeare 's ' Ripeness is all . ' It is a speech ' in character ' and supported by a dramatic context . To conclude thus may seem to weight the principle of dramatic propriety with more than it can bear . This would not be fair to the complexity of the problem of truth in art nor fair to Keats 's little parable . Granted ; and yet the principle of dramatic propriety may take us further than would first appear . Respect for it may at least insure our dealing with the problem of truth at the level on which it is really relevant to literature . M.H. Abrams responded to Brooks 's view in 1957 : I entirely agree , then , with Professor Brooks in his explication of the Ode , that ' Beauty is truth ' ... is to be considered as a speech ' in character ' and ' dramatically appropriate ' to the Urn . I am uneasy , however , about his final reference to ' the world - view ... ' For the poem as a whole is equally an utterance by a dramatically presented speaker , and none of its statements is proffered for our endorsement as a philosophical generalization of unlimited scope . They are all , therefore , to be apprehended as histrionic elements which are ' in character ' and ' dramatically appropriate , ' for their inherent interest as stages in the evolution of an artistically ordered ... experience of a credible human being . Earl Wasserman , in 1953 , continued the discussion over the final lines and claimed , `` the more we tug at the final lines of the ode , the more the noose of their meaning strangles our comprehension of the poem ... The aphorism is all the more beguiling because it appears near the end of the poem , for its apparently climactic position has generally led to the assumption that it is the abstract summation of the poem ... But the ode is not an abstract statement or an excursion into philosophy . It is a poem about things '' . Walter Evert , discussing the debate in 1965 , justified the final lines of the poem to declare `` The poem , then , accepts the urn for the immediate meditative imaginative pleasure that it can give , but it firmly defines the limits of artistic truth . In this it is wholly consistent with all the great poetry of Keats 's last creative period . '' Hugh Kenner , in 1971 , explained that Keats `` interrogates an urn , and answers for it , and its last answer , about Beauty and Truth , may seem almost intolerably enigmatic '' . To Kenner , the problem with Keats 's Beauty and Truth statement arises out of the reader 's inability to distinguish between the poet , his reflections on the urn , and any possible statement made by the urn . He concluded that Keats fails to provide his narrator with enough characterization to be able to speak for the urn . Charles Rzepka , in 1986 , offered his view on the matter : `` The truth - beauty equation at the end of the ' Ode on a Grecian Urn ' offers solace but is finally no more convincing than the experience it describes is durable . '' Rick Rylance picked up the debate again in 1990 and explained that the true meaning of the final lines can not be discerned merely by studying the language . This posed a problem for the New Critics , who were prone to closely reading a poem 's text . Later responses ( edit ) Not every 20th - century critic opined primarily on the quality of the final lines when discussing the success or failure of the poem ; Sidney Colvin , in 1920 , explained that `` while imagery drawn from the sculptures on Greek vases was still floating through his mind , he was able to rouse himself to a stronger effort and produce a true masterpiece in his famous Ode on a Grecian Urn . '' In his 1926 analysis , H.W. Garrod felt that the end of the poem did not match with the rest of the poem : `` Perhaps the fourth stanza is more beautiful than any of the others -- and more true . The trouble is that it is a little too true . Truth to his main theme has taken Keats rather farther than he meant to go ... This pure cold art makes , in fact , a less appeal to Keats than the Ode as a whole would pretend ; and when , in the lines that follow these lines , he indulges the jarring apostrophe ' Cold Pastoral ' ( ... ) he has said more than he meant -- or wished to mean . '' In 1933 , M.R. Ridley described the poem as a `` tense ethereal beauty '' with a `` touch of didacticism that weakens the urgency '' of the statements . Douglas Bush , following in 1937 , emphasized the Greek aspects of the poem and stated , `` as in the Ode to Maia , the concrete details are suffused with a rich nostalgia . The hard edges of classical Greek writing are softened by the enveloping emotion and suggestion . In his classical moments Keats is a sculptor whose marble becomes flesh . '' In 1954 , Charles Patterson defended the poem and claimed , `` The meaningfulness and range of the poem , along with its controlled execution and powerfully suggestive imagery , entitle it to a high place among Keats 's great odes . It lacks the even finish and extreme perfection of To Autumn but is much superior in these qualities to the Ode to a Nightingale despite the magic passages in the latter and the similarities of over-all structure . In fact , the Ode on a Grecian Urn may deserve to rank first in the group if viewed in something approaching its true complexity and human wisdom . '' Walter Jackson Bate argued in 1962 that `` the Grecian Urn possesses a quiet and constrained composure hardly equaled by the other odes of this month and perhaps even unsurpassed by the ode To Autumn of the following September ... there is a severe repose about the Ode on a Grecian Urn ; it is both ' interwoven ' and ' complete ' ; and within its tensely braced stanzas is a potential energy momentarily stilled and imprisoned . '' In 1964 , literary critic David Perkins claimed in his essay `` The Ode on a Nightingale '' that the symbol of the urn `` may possibly not satisfy as the principal concern of poetry ... but is rather an element in the poetry and drama of human reactions '' . F.W. Bateson emphasized in 1966 the poem 's ability to capture truth : `` The Ode to a Nightingale had ended with the explicit admission that the ' fancy ' is a ' cheat , ' and the Grecian Urn concludes with a similar repudiation . But this time it is a positive instead of a negative conclusion . There is no escape from the ' woe ' that ' shall this generation waste , ' but the action of time can be confronted and seen in its proper proportions . To enable its readers to do this is the special function of poetry . '' Ronald Sharp followed in 1979 with a claim that the theme of `` the relationship between life and art ... receives its most famous , and its most enigmatic and controversial , treatment '' within the poem . In 1983 , Vendler praised many of the passages within the poem but argued that the poem was unable to fully represent what Keats wanted : `` The simple movement of entrance and exit , even in its triple repetition in the Urn , is simply not structurally complex enough to be adequate , as a representational form , to what we know of aesthetic experience -- or indeed to human experience generally . '' Later in 1989 , Daniel Watkins claimed the poem as `` one of ( Keats 's ) most beautiful and problematic works . '' Andrew Bennett , in 1994 , discussed the poem 's effectiveness : `` What is important and compelling in this poem is not so much what happens on the urn or in the poem , but the way that a response to an artwork both figures and prefigures its own critical response '' . In 1999 , Andrew Motion claimed that the poem `` tells a story that can not be developed . Celebrating the transcendent powers of art , it creates a sense of imminence , but also registers a feeling of frustration . '' Ayumi Mizukoshi , in 2001 , argued that early audiences did not support `` Ode to Psyche '' because it `` turned out to be too reflexive and internalised to be enjoyed as a mythological picture . For the same reason , the ' Ode on a Grecian Urn ' drew neither attention nor admiration . Although the poet is gazing round the surface of the urn in each stanza , the poem can not readily be consumed as a series of ' idylls ' .

"Like many of Keats's odes, \"Ode on a Grecian Urn\" discusses art and art's audience. He relied on depictions of natural music in earlier poems, and works such as \"Ode to a Nightingale\" appeal to auditory sensations while ignoring the visual. Keats reverses this when describing an urn within \"Ode on a Grecian Urn\" to focus on representational art. He previously used the image of an urn in \"Ode on Indolence\", depicting one with three figures representing Love, Ambition and Poesy. Of these three, Love and Poesy are integrated into \"Ode on a Grecian Urn\" with an emphasis on how the urn, as a human artistic construct, is capable of relating to the idea of \"Truth\". The images of the urn described within the poem are intended as obvious depictions of common activities: an attempt at courtship, the making of music, and a religious rite. The figures are supposed to be beautiful, and the urn itself is supposed to be realistic.[28] Although the poem does not include the subjective involvement of the narrator, the description of the urn within the poem implies a human observer that draws out these images.[29] The narrator interacts with the urn in a manner similar to how a critic would respond to the poem, which creates ambiguity in the poem's final lines: \"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' – that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.\" The lack of a definite voice of the urn causes the reader to question who is really speaking these words, to whom they are speaking, and what is meant by the words, which encourages the reader to interact with the poem in an interrogative manner like the narrator.[30]"

The office was established in 1789 by Article I , Section 2 of the United States Constitution . The Speaker is the political and parliamentary leader of the House of Representatives , and is simultaneously the House 's presiding officer , de facto leader of the body 's majority party , and the institution 's administrative head . Speakers also perform various other administrative and procedural functions . Given these several roles and responsibilities , the Speaker usually does not personally preside over debates . That duty is instead delegated to members of the House from the majority party . Neither does the Speaker regularly participate in floor debates or vote . The Constitution does not require the Speaker to be an elected member of the House of Representatives , although every Speaker thus far has been . The Speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession , after the Vice President and ahead of the President pro tempore of the U.S. Senate . The current House Speaker is Congressman Paul Ryan from Wisconsin . He was elected to the office on October 29 , 2015 , and is the 54th person to serve as Speaker .

The Clerk of the House of Representatives requests nominations : there are normally two , one from each major party ( each party having previously met to decide on its nominee ) . The Clerk then calls the roll of the Representatives , each Representative indicating the surname of the candidate the Representative is supporting . Representatives are not restricted to voting for one of the nominated candidates and may vote for any person , even for someone who is not a member of the House at all . They may also abstain by voting `` present '' . Although no rule exists , based on tradition and practice from the earliest days of the nation , to be elected speaker a candidate must receive an absolute majority of all votes cast for individuals , i.e. excluding those who abstain . If no candidate wins such a majority , then the roll call is repeated until a speaker is elected . The last time repeated votes were required was in 1923 , when the Speaker was elected on the ninth ballot . The new Speaker is then sworn in by the Dean of the United States House of Representatives , the chamber 's longest - serving member . In modern practice , the Speaker is chosen by the majority party from among its senior leaders either when a vacancy in the office arrives or when the majority party changes . Previous Speakers have been minority leaders ( when the majority party changes , as they are already the House party leader , and as the minority leader are usually their party 's nominee for Speaker ) , or majority leaders ( upon departure of the current Speaker in the majority party ) , assuming that the party leadership hierarchy is followed . In the past , other candidates have included chairpersons of influential standing committees . So far , the Democrats have always elevated their minority leader to the speakership upon reclaiming majority control of the House . However , Republicans have not always followed this leadership succession pattern . In 1919 , Republicans bypassed James Robert Mann , R - IL , who had been Minority Leader for eight years , and elected a backbencher representative , Frederick H. Gillett , R - MA , to be Speaker . Mann had `` angered many Republicans by objecting to their private bills on the floor , '' and was also a protégé of autocratic Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon ( R - IL18 ) who had been Speaker from 1903 to 1911 , and was still in the House . Many members `` suspected that he ( Mann ) would try to re-centralize power in his hands if elected Speaker . '' More recently , although Robert H. Michel was Minority Leader in 1994 when the Republicans regained control of the House in the 1994 midterm elections , he had already announced his retirement and had little or no involvement in the campaign , including the `` Contract with America '' , which was unveiled six weeks before Election Day . Michel opted not to seek re-election because he had been isolated in the caucus by Minority Whip Newt Gingrich and other younger and more aggressive Congressmen . It is expected that members of the House vote for their party 's candidate . If they do not , they usually vote for someone else in their party or vote `` present '' . Those who vote for the other party 's candidate often face serious consequences , up to and including the loss of seniority . The last instance where a representative voted for the other party 's candidate was in 2000 , when Democrat Jim Traficant of Ohio voted for Republican Dennis Hastert . In response , the Democrats stripped him of his seniority and he lost all of his committee posts . If the Speaker 's party loses control of the House in an election , and if the Speaker and Majority Leader both remain in the leadership hierarchy , they would become the Minority Leader and Minority Whip , respectively . As the minority party has historically had one less leadership position after losing the Speaker 's chair , there may be a contest for the remaining leadership positions ; upon losing control of the House after the 2010 election , the Democrats created the position of Assistant Democratic Leader in order to prevent such a contest . Most Speakers whose party has lost control of the House have not returned to the party leadership ( Tom Foley lost his seat , Dennis Hastert returned to the backbenches and resigned from the House in late 2007 ) . However , Speakers Joseph William Martin , Jr. and Sam Rayburn did seek the post of Minority Leader in the late 1940s and early 1950s . Nancy Pelosi is the most recent example of an outgoing Speaker who was elected Minority Leader , after the Democrats lost control of the House in the 2010 elections . History ( edit ) Frederick Muhlenberg ( 1789 -- 1791 , 1793 -- 1795 ) , was the first Speaker . The first Speaker was Frederick Muhlenberg : he was elected as a Pro-Administration candidate to the 1st Congress , an Anti-Administration candidate to the 2nd and 3rd Congresses , and a Republican candidate to the 4th Congress , according to the Biographical Directory of Congress , though Oswald Seidensticker wrote that he was elected as a Federalist for the first four Congresses . Henry Clay ( 1813 -- 1814 , 1815 -- 1820 , 1823 -- 1825 ) used his influence as speaker to ensure the passage of measures he favored The position of Speaker started to gain its partisan role and its power in legislative development under Henry Clay ( 1811 -- 1814 , 1815 -- 1820 , and 1823 -- 1825 ) . In contrast to many of his predecessors , Clay participated in several debates , and used his influence to procure the passage of measures he supported -- for instance , the declaration of the War of 1812 , and various laws relating to Clay 's `` American System '' economic plan . Furthermore , when no candidate received an Electoral College majority in the 1824 presidential election causing the President to be elected by the House , Speaker Clay threw his support to John Quincy Adams instead of Andrew Jackson , thereby ensuring Adams ' victory . Following Clay 's retirement in 1825 , the power of the speakership once again began to decline , despite speakership elections becoming increasingly bitter . As the Civil War approached , several sectional factions nominated their own candidates , often making it difficult for any candidate to attain a majority . In 1855 and again in 1859 , for example , the contest for Speaker lasted for two months before the House achieved a result . During this time , Speakers tended to have very short tenures . For example , from 1839 to 1863 there were eleven Speakers , only one of whom served for more than one term . To date , James K. Polk is the only Speaker of the House later elected President of the United States . Joseph Gurney Cannon ( 1903 -- 1911 ) was one of the most powerful speakers . Towards the end of the 19th century , the office of Speaker began to develop into a very powerful one . At the time , one of the most important sources of the Speaker 's power was his position as Chairman of the Committee on Rules , which , after the reorganization of the committee system in 1880 , became one of the most powerful standing committees of the House . Furthermore , several Speakers became leading figures in their political parties ; examples include Democrats Samuel J. Randall , John Griffin Carlisle , and Charles F. Crisp , and Republicans James G. Blaine , Thomas Brackett Reed , and Joseph Gurney Cannon . The power of the Speaker was greatly augmented during the tenure of the Republican Thomas Brackett Reed ( 1889 -- 1891 , 1895 -- 1899 ) . `` Czar Reed '' , as he was called by his opponents , sought to end the obstruction of bills by the minority , in particular by countering the tactic known as the `` disappearing quorum '' . By refusing to vote on a motion , the minority could ensure that a quorum would not be achieved , and that the result would be invalid . Reed , however , declared that members who were in the chamber but refused to vote would still count for the purposes of determining a quorum . Through these and other rulings , Reed ensured that the Democrats could not block the Republican agenda . The speakership reached its apogee during the term of Republican Joseph Gurney Cannon ( 1903 -- 1911 ) . Cannon exercised extraordinary control over the legislative process . He determined the agenda of the House , appointed the members of all committees , chose committee chairmen , headed the Rules Committee , and determined which committee heard each bill . He vigorously used his powers to ensure that Republican proposals were passed by the House . In 1910 , however , Democrats and several dissatisfied Republicans joined together to strip Cannon of many of his powers , including the ability to name committee members and his chairmanship of the Rules Committee . Fifteen years later , Speaker Nicholas Longworth restored much , but not all , of the lost influence of the position . One of the most influential Speakers in history was Democrat Sam Rayburn . Rayburn was the longest - serving Speaker in history , holding office from 1940 to 1947 , 1949 to 1953 , and 1955 to 1961 . He helped shape many bills , working quietly in the background with House committees . He also helped ensure the passage of several domestic measures and foreign assistance programs advocated by Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman . Rayburn 's successor , Democrat John William McCormack ( served 1962 -- 1971 ) , was a somewhat less influential speaker , particularly because of dissent from younger members of the Democratic Party . During the mid-1970s , the power of the speakership once again grew under Democrat Carl Albert . The Committee on Rules ceased to be a semi-independent panel , as it had been since 1910 . Instead , it once again became an arm of the party leadership . Moreover , in 1975 , the Speaker was granted the authority to appoint a majority of the members of the Rules Committee . Meanwhile , the power of committee chairmen was curtailed , further increasing the relative influence of the Speaker . Albert 's successor , Democrat Tip O'Neill , was a prominent Speaker because of his public opposition to the policies of President Ronald Reagan . O'Neill is the longest continually serving Speaker , from 1977 through 1987 . He challenged Reagan on domestic programs and on defense expenditures . Republicans made O'Neill the target of their election campaigns in 1980 and 1982 but Democrats managed to retain their majorities in both years . The roles of the parties reversed in 1994 when , after spending forty years in the minority , the Republicans regained control of the House with the `` Contract with America '' , an idea spearheaded by Minority Whip Newt Gingrich . Speaker Gingrich would regularly clash with Democratic President Bill Clinton , leading to the United States federal government shutdown of 1995 and 1996 , in which Clinton was largely seen to have prevailed . Gingrich 's hold on the leadership was weakened significantly by that and several other controversies , and he faced a caucus revolt in 1997 . After the Republicans lost House seats in 1998 ( although retaining a majority ) he did not stand for a third term as Speaker . His successor , Dennis Hastert , had been chosen as a compromise candidate , since the other Republicans in the leadership were more controversial . Hastert played a much less prominent role than other contemporary Speakers , being overshadowed by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and President George W. Bush . The Republicans came out of the 2000 elections with a further reduced majority but made small gains in 2002 and 2004 . The periods of 2001 -- 2002 and 2003 -- 2007 were the first times since 1953 -- 1955 that there was single - party Republican leadership in Washington , interrupted from 2001 -- 2003 as Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont left the Republican Party to become independent and caucused with Senate Democrats to give them a 51 - 49 majority . In the 2006 midterm elections , the Democrats won a majority in the House . Nancy Pelosi became Speaker when the 110th Congress convened on January 4 , 2007 , making her the first female to hold the office . With the election of Barack Obama as President and Democratic gains in both houses of Congress , Pelosi became the first Speaker since Tom Foley to hold the office during single - party Democratic leadership in Washington . During the 111th Congress , Pelosi was the driving force behind several of Obama 's major initiatives that proved controversial , and the Republicans campaigned against the Democrats ' legislation by staging a `` Fire Pelosi '' bus tour and regained control of the House in the 2010 midterm elections . House Minority Leader John Boehner was elected as Speaker . Notable elections ( edit ) Speaker Nancy Pelosi ( right ) with Vice President Dick Cheney behind President George W. Bush at the 2007 State of the Union Address making history as the first woman to sit behind the podium at such an address . President Bush acknowledged this by beginning his speech with the words , `` Tonight , I have a high privilege and distinct honor of my own -- as the first President to begin the State of the Union message with these words : Madam Speaker '' .

In that case , even though the 26th United States Congress convened on December 2 , the House could not begin the speakership election until December 14 because of an election dispute in New Jersey known as the `` Broad Seal War '' . Two rival delegations , one Whig and the other Democrat , had been certified as elected by different branches of the New Jersey government . The problem was compounded by the fact that the result of the dispute would determine whether the Whigs or the Democrats held the majority . Neither party agreed to permit a speakership election with the opposite party 's delegation participating . Finally , it was agreed to exclude both delegations from the election and a Speaker was finally chosen on December 17 . Another , more prolonged fight occurred in 1855 in the 34th United States Congress . The old Whig Party had collapsed but no single party had emerged to replace it . Candidates opposing the Democrats had run under a bewildering variety of labels , including Whig , Republican , American ( Know Nothing ) , and simply `` Opposition '' . By the time Congress actually met in December 1855 , most of the northerners were concentrated together as Republicans , while most of the southerners and a few northerners used the American or Know Nothing label . Opponents of the Democrats held a majority in House , with the party makeup of the 234 Representatives being 83 Democrats , 108 Republicans , and 43 Know Nothings ( primarily southern oppositionists ) . The Democratic minority nominated William Alexander Richardson of Illinois as Speaker , but because of sectional distrust , the various oppositionists were unable to agree on a single candidate for Speaker . The Republicans supported Nathaniel Prentiss Banks of Massachusetts , who had been elected as a Know Nothing but was now largely identified with the Republicans . The southern Know Nothings supported first Humphrey Marshall of Kentucky , and then Henry M. Fuller of Pennsylvania . The voting went on for almost two months with no candidate able to secure a majority , until it was finally agreed to elect the Speaker by plurality vote , and Banks was elected . The House found itself in a similar dilemma when the 36th Congress met in December 1859 . Although the Republicans held a plurality , the Republican candidate , John Sherman , was unacceptable to southern oppositionists due to his anti-slavery views , and once again the House was unable to elect a Speaker for several months . After Democrats allied with southern oppositionists to nearly elect the North Carolina oppositionist William N.H. Smith , Sherman finally withdrew in favor of compromise candidate William Pennington of New Jersey , a former Whig of unclear partisan loyalties , who was finally elected Speaker at the end of January 1860 . The last speakership elections in which the House had to vote more than once occurred in the 65th and 72nd United States Congress . In 1917 , neither the Republican nor the Democratic candidate could attain a majority because three members of the Progressive Party and other individual members of other parties voted for their own party . The Republicans had a plurality in the House but James `` Champ '' Clark remained Speaker of the House because of the support of the Progressive Party members . In 1931 , both the Republicans and the Democrats had 217 members with the Minnesota Farmer - Labor Party having one member who served as the deciding vote . The Farmer - Labor Party eventually voted for the Democrats ' candidate for Speaker , John Nance Garner , who later became Vice President under Franklin Roosevelt . In 1997 , several Republican congressional leaders tried to force Speaker Newt Gingrich to resign . However , Gingrich refused since that would have required a new election for Speaker , which could have led to Democrats along with dissenting Republicans voting for Democrat Dick Gephardt ( then Minority Leader ) as Speaker . After the 1998 midterm elections where the Republicans lost seats , Gingrich did not stand for re-election . The next two figures in the House Republican leadership hierarchy , Majority Leader Richard Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay , chose not to run for the office . The chairman of the House Appropriations Committee , Bob Livingston , declared his bid for the speakership , which was unopposed , making him Speaker - designate . It was then revealed , by Livingston himself , who had been publicly critical of President Bill Clinton 's perjury during his sexual harassment trial , that he had engaged in an extramarital affair . He opted to resign from the House , despite being urged to stay on by House Democratic leader Gephardt . Subsequently , chief deputy whip Dennis Hastert was selected as Speaker . The Republicans retained their majorities in the 2000 , 2002 , and 2004 elections . The Democrats won a majority of seats in the 2006 midterm elections . On November 16 , 2006 , Nancy Pelosi , who was then Minority Leader , was selected as Speaker - designate by House Democrats . When the 110th Congress convened on January 4 , 2007 , she was elected as the 52nd Speaker by a vote of 233 - 202 , becoming the first woman elected Speaker of the House . Pelosi remained Speaker through the 111th Congress . For the 112th Congress , Republican John Boehner was unanimously designated Speaker - designate by House Republicans and was elected the 53rd Speaker of the House . As a show of dissent , nineteen Democratic representatives voted for Democrats other than Pelosi , who had been chosen as House Minority Leader and the Democrats ' candidate for Speaker . Partisan role ( edit ) The sitting Speaker , Paul Ryan , seen taking his oath of office following his election on October 29 , 2015 The Constitution does not spell out the political role of the Speaker . As the office has developed historically , however , it has taken on a clearly partisan cast , very different from the speakership of most Westminster - style legislatures , such as the Speaker of the British House of Commons , which is meant to be scrupulously non-partisan . The Speaker in the United States , by tradition , is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives , outranking the Majority Leader . However , despite having the right to vote , the Speaker usually does not participate in debate and rarely votes . The Speaker is responsible for ensuring that the House passes legislation supported by the majority party . In pursuing this goal , the Speaker may use their power to determine when each bill reaches the floor . They also chair the majority party 's steering committee in the House . While the Speaker is the functioning head of the House majority party , the same is not true of the President pro tempore of the Senate , whose office is primarily ceremonial and honorary . When the Speaker and the President belong to the same party , the Speaker tends to play the role in a more ceremonial light , as seen when Dennis Hastert played a very low - key role during the presidency of fellow Republican George W. Bush . Nevertheless , there are times when the Speaker plays a much larger role if the President is a fellow member of their party , and thus , the Speaker is tasked with pushing through the agenda of the majority party , often at the expense of the minority opposition . This can be seen , most of all , in the speakership of Democratic - Republican Henry Clay , who personally ensured the presidential victory of fellow Democratic - Republican John Quincy Adams . Democrat Sam Rayburn was a key player in the passing of New Deal legislation under the presidency of fellow Democrat Franklin Delano Roosevelt . Republican Joseph Gurney Cannon ( under Theodore Roosevelt ) was particularly infamous for his marginalization of the minority Democrats and centralizing of authority to the speakership . In more recent times , Speaker Nancy Pelosi played a role in continuing the push for health care reform during the presidency of fellow Democrat Barack Obama . The Republicans campaigned against Pelosi and the Democrats ' legislation with their `` Fire Pelosi '' bus tour . On the other hand , when the Speaker and the President belong to opposite parties , the public role and influence of the Speaker tend to increase . As the highest - ranking member of the opposition party ( and de facto Leader of the Opposition ) , the Speaker is normally the chief public opponent of the President 's agenda . In this scenario , the Speaker is known for undercutting the President 's agenda by blocking measures by the minority party or rejecting bills by the Senate . One famous instance came in the form of Thomas Brackett Reed ( under Grover Cleveland ) , a Speaker notorious for his successful attempt to force the Democrats to vote on measures where the Republicans had clear majorities , which ensured that Cleveland 's Democrats were in no position to challenge the Republicans in the House . Joseph Cannon was particularly unique in that he led the conservative `` Old Guard '' wing of the Republican Party , while his President -- Theodore Roosevelt -- was of the more progressive clique , and more than just marginalizing the Democrats , Cannon used his power to punish the dissidents in his party and obstruct the progressive wing of the Republican Party . More modern examples include Tip O'Neill , who was a vocal opponent of President Ronald Reagan 's economic and defense policies ; Newt Gingrich , who fought a bitter battle with President Bill Clinton for control of domestic policy ; Nancy Pelosi , who argued with President George W. Bush over the Iraq War ; and John Boehner , who clashed with President Barack Obama over budget issues and health care . Presiding officer ( edit ) James Polk is the only Speaker to also serve as President of the United States . As presiding officer of the House of Representatives , the Speaker holds a variety of powers over the House and is ceremonially the highest - ranking legislative official in the US government . The Speaker may delegate his powers to a member of the House to act as Speaker pro tempore and preside over the House in the Speaker 's absence ; when this has occurred the delegation has always been to a member of the same party . During important debates , the Speaker pro tempore is ordinarily a senior member of the majority party who may be chosen for his skill in presiding . At other times , more junior members may be assigned to preside to give them experience with the rules and procedures of the House . The Speaker may also designate , with approval of the House , a Speaker pro tempore for special purposes , such as designating a Representative whose district is near Washington , D.C. to sign enrolled bills during long recesses . Under the Rules of the House , the Speaker , `` as soon as practicable after the election of the Speaker and whenever appropriate thereafter , '' must deliver to the Clerk of the House a confidential list of Members who are designated to act as Speaker in the case of a vacancy or physical inability of the Speaker to perform their duties . On the floor of the House , the presiding officer is always addressed as `` Mister Speaker '' or `` Madam Speaker , '' even if it is a Speaker pro tempore , and not the Speaker themselves . When the House resolves itself into a Committee of the Whole , the Speaker designates a member to preside over the Committee as the Chairman , who is addressed as `` Mister Chairman '' or `` Madam Chairwoman . '' To speak , members must seek the presiding officer 's recognition . The presiding officer also rules on all points of order but such rulings may be appealed to the whole House . The Speaker is responsible for maintaining decorum in the House and may order the Sergeant - at - Arms to enforce House rules . The Speaker 's powers and duties extend beyond presiding in the chamber . In particular , the Speaker has great influence over the committee process . The Speaker selects nine of the thirteen members of the powerful Committee on Rules , subject to the approval of the entire majority party . The leadership of the minority party chooses the remaining four members . Furthermore , the Speaker appoints all members of select committees and conference committees . Moreover , when a bill is introduced , the Speaker determines which committee will consider it . As a member of the House , the Speaker is entitled to participate in debate and to vote but , by custom , only does so in exceptional circumstances . Ordinarily , the Speaker votes only when the Speaker 's vote would be decisive or on matters of great importance , such as constitutional amendments or major legislation . Other functions ( edit ) The speaker 's office in the US Capitol , during the term of Dennis Hastert ( 1999 to 2007 ) Because joint sessions and joint meetings of Congress are held in the House chamber , the Speaker presides over joint sessions to hear addresses by the President , and joint meetings to hear addresses from foreign leaders or other invited guests . However , the Twelfth Amendment and 3 U.S.C. § 15 require that the President of the Senate preside over joint sessions of Congress assembled to count electoral votes and to certify the results of a presidential election . The Speaker is also responsible for overseeing the officers of the House : the Clerk , the Sergeant - at - Arms , the Chief Administrative Officer , and the Chaplain . The Speaker can dismiss any of these officers . The Speaker appoints the House Historian and the General Counsel and , jointly with the Majority and Minority Leaders , appoints the House Inspector General . The Speaker is second in the presidential line of succession , immediately after the Vice President , under the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 . The Speaker is followed in the line of succession by the President pro tempore of the Senate and by the heads of federal executive departments . To date , the implementation of the Presidential Succession Act has never been necessary and no Speaker has ever acted as President . Implementation of the law almost became necessary in 1973 after the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew . At the time , many believed that President Richard Nixon would resign because of the Watergate scandal , allowing Speaker Carl Albert to succeed to the Presidency . However , before he resigned , Nixon appointed Gerald Ford as Vice President in accordance with the Twenty - fifth Amendment . Nevertheless , the United States government takes the Speaker 's place in the line of succession seriously enough that , for example , following the terrorist attacks of September 11 , 2001 , Speakers used military jets to fly back and forth to their districts and for other travel until Speaker Boehner discontinued the practice in 2011 .

First appearance Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone Last appearance Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Created by J.K. Rowling Portrayed by Ralph Fiennes , as the Dark Lord finally resurrected from HP4 to the end of the film series in HP7 -- Part 2 Frank Dillane , as a fifteen - year - old in HP6 Hero Fiennes - Tiffin , as an eleven - year - old in HP6 Christian Coulson , as a sixteen - year - old in HP2 Ian Hart , voice in HP1 Richard Bremmer , non-faced in HP1 Voiced by Eddie Izzard , The Lego Batman Movie House Slytherin Full name Tom Marvolo Riddle Lord Voldemort ( / ˈvoʊldəmɔːr / , / - mɔːrt / in the films ; born Tom Marvolo Riddle ) is a fictional character and the main antagonist in J.K. Rowling 's series of Harry Potter novels . Voldemort first appeared in Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , which was released in 1997 . Voldemort appears either in person or in flashbacks in each book and its film adaptation in the series , except the third , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , where he is only mentioned . Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter , who according to a prophecy has `` the power to vanquish the Dark Lord '' . Nearly every witch or wizard dares not utter his unmentionable name , and refers to him instead with such expressions as `` You - Know - Who '' , `` He - Who - Must - Not - Be-Named '' or `` the Dark Lord '' . Voldemort 's obsession with blood purity signifies his aim to rid the wizarding world of Muggle ( non-magical ) heritage and to conquer both worlds , Muggle and wizarding , to achieve pure - blood dominance . Through his mother 's family , he is the last descendant of wizard Salazar Slytherin , one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry . He is the leader of the Death Eaters , a group of evil wizards and witches dedicated to ridding the Wizarding World of Muggles and establishing Voldemort as its supreme ruler .

And so then I kind of worked backwards from that position to find out how that could be , that he would n't know what he was ... When he was one year old , the most evil wizard for hundreds and hundreds of years attempted to kill him . He killed Harry 's parents , and then he tried to kill Harry -- he tried to curse him ... Harry has to find out , before we find out . And -- so -- but for some mysterious reason the curse did n't work on Harry . So he 's left with this lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead and the curse rebounded upon the evil wizard , who has been in hiding ever since . '' In the second book , Rowling establishes that Voldemort hates non-pure - blood wizards , despite being a half - blood himself . In a 2000 interview with the BBC , Rowling described Voldemort as a self - hating bully : `` Well I think it is often the case that the biggest bullies take what they know to be their own defects , as they see it , and they put them right on someone else and then they try and destroy the other and that 's what Voldemort does . '' In the same year , Rowling became more precise about Voldemort . She began to link him to real - life tyrants , describing him as `` a raging psychopath , devoid of the normal human responses to other people 's suffering '' . In 2004 , though , Rowling said that she did not base Voldemort on any real person . In 2006 , Rowling told an interviewer that Voldemort at his core has a human fear : the fear of death . She said : `` Voldemort 's fear is death , ignominious death . I mean , he regards death itself as ignominious . He thinks that it 's a shameful human weakness , as you know . His worst fear is death . '' Throughout the series , Rowling establishes that Voldemort is so feared in the wizarding world that it is considered dangerous even to speak his name . Most characters in the novels refer to him as `` You - Know - Who '' or `` He - Who - Must - Not - Be-Named '' rather than say his name aloud . In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , a `` taboo '' spell is placed upon the name , such that Voldemort or his followers may trace anyone who utters it . By this means , his followers eventually find and capture Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger . In the second book , Rowling reveals that I am Lord Voldemort is an anagram of the character 's birth name , Tom Marvolo Riddle . According to the author , Voldemort 's name is an invented word . Some literary analysts have considered possible meanings in the name : Philip Nel believes that Voldemort is derived from the French for `` flight of death '' , and in a 2002 paper , Nilsen and Nilsen suggest that readers get a `` creepy feeling '' from the name Voldemort , because of the French word `` mort '' ( `` death '' ) within it and that word 's association with cognate English words derived from the Latin mors . Appearances Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone Voldemort on the back of Professor Quirrell 's head in Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone Voldemort makes his debut in Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone . In this story , Rowling introduces him as the Dark Lord who murdered Harry 's parents , James and Lily , but as a result of his mother 's love and willingness to sacrifice herself for him , baby Harry survives when Voldemort tries to murder him with a Killing Curse . Voldemort is disembodied , and Harry carries a mysterious scar on his forehead as a result . In the book , Voldemort unsuccessfully tries to regain his dissolved body by stealing the titular Philosopher 's Stone . To achieve his objective , Voldemort uses Professor Quirrell 's aid by latching onto the back of Quirrell 's head . However , at the climax of the book , Harry manages to prevent Voldemort from stealing the stone . Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets In the second instalment , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , Rowling introduces Tom Marvolo Riddle , a manifestation of a teenage Voldemort that resides inside a magical diary found by Ginny Weasley . In this book , Ginny is written as a shy girl with a crush on Harry . Feeling anxious and lonely , she begins to write into the diary and shares her deepest fears with the sympathetic Tom . However , at the climax of the story , when Riddle rearranges the letters in his name to write `` I am Lord Voldemort '' , Riddle is revealed as a magical manifestation of the boy who would later grow up to become the Dark Lord . Riddle states he has grown strong on Ginny 's fears and eventually possesses her , using her as a pawn to unlock the Chamber of Secrets , whence a basilisk is set free and petrifies several Hogwarts students . Harry defeats the manifestation of Riddle from the diary and the basilisk . In Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince , Albus Dumbledore reveals to Harry that the diary was one of Voldemort 's Horcruxes . Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Voldemort does not appear in the third book , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , either in person or as a magical manifestation . He is , however , heard when Harry passes out from the harsh effects of a Dementor . Towards the end of the story Sybill Trelawney , the Divination professor , makes a rare genuine prophecy : The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless , abandoned by his followers . His servant has been chained these twelve years . Tonight , before midnight , the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master . The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant 's aid , greater and more terrible than ever before . Tonight ... before midnight ... the servant ... will set out ... to rejoin ... his master ... Though it is initially implied that the prophecy refers to Sirius Black , the book 's ostensible antagonist , the servant is eventually revealed to be Peter Pettigrew , who , for the 12 years since Voldemort 's fall , has been disguised as Ron 's pet rat , Scabbers . Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire In the fourth instalment of the series , Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , Voldemort appears at the start and the climax of the book . Rowling lets many seemingly unrelated plot elements fall into order . It is revealed that Voldemort 's minion Barty Crouch Jr , disguised as Hogwarts professor Mad - Eye Moody , has manipulated the events of the Triwizard Tournament in Harry 's favour . Voldemort 's goal is to teleport Harry under Dumbledore 's watch as a reluctant participant to the Little Hangleton graveyard , where the Riddle family is buried . Harry is captured and , after Pettigrew uses Harry 's blood to fulfil a gruesome magical ritual , Voldemort regains his body and is restored to his full power . For the first time in the series , Rowling describes his appearance : `` tall and skeletally thin '' , with a face `` whiter than a skull , with wide , livid scarlet eyes and a nose that was as flat as a snake 's with slits for nostrils '' . Rowling writes that his `` hands were like large , pale spiders ; his long white fingers caressed his own chest , his arms , his face ; the red eyes , whose pupils were slits , like a cat 's , gleamed still more brightly through the darkness '' . It was revealed that , while in Albania , Pettigrew had captured the Ministry of Magic official Bertha Jorkins , who was tortured for information about the Ministry . After they learned that Barty Crouch Jr , a faithful Death Eater , had been smuggled out of Azkaban and was privately confined at his father 's house , they killed her . With Pettigrew 's help , Voldemort creates a small , rudimentary body , corporeal enough to travel and perform magic , and formulated a plan to restore his own body by capturing Harry . A portion of the plan had been overheard by Frank Bryce , a gardener , whom Voldemort then killed . Voldemort then completes his plan and returns to life in his full body as a result of the ritual with Harry 's blood . He then summons his Death Eaters to the graveyard to witness the death of Harry as he challenges Harry to a duel . However , when Voldemort duels Harry , their wands become magically locked together due to the twin Phoenix feather cores of the wands . Because of a phenomenon later revealed as Priori Incantatem , ghost - like manifestations of Voldemort 's most recent victims ( including Harry 's parents ) then appear and distract Voldemort , allowing Harry just enough time to escape via Portkey with the body of fellow - student , Cedric Diggory , who was murdered by Pettigrew on Voldemort 's orders . Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Voldemort appears at the climax of the fifth book , Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , having again plotted against Harry . In this book , Harry goes through extreme emotional stress , and according to Rowling , it was necessary to prove that Harry is emotionally vulnerable and thus human , in contrast to his nemesis Voldemort , who is emotionally invulnerable and thus inhuman : `` ( Harry is ) a very human hero , and this is , obviously , there 's a contrast , between him , as a very human hero , and Voldemort , who has deliberately dehumanised himself . ( ... ) and Harry , therefore , did have to reach a point where he did almost break down . '' In this book , Voldemort makes liberal use of the Ministry of Magic 's refusal to believe that he has returned . Voldemort engineers a plot to free Bellatrix Lestrange and other Death Eaters from Azkaban and then embarks on a scheme to retrieve the full record of a prophecy stored in the Department of Mysteries regarding Harry and himself . He sends a group of Death Eaters to retrieve the prophecy , where the Order of the Phoenix meets them . All but Bellatrix are captured , and Voldemort engages in a ferocious duel with Dumbledore . When Dumbledore gets the upper hand , Voldemort attempts to possess Harry but finds that he can not ; Harry is too full of that which Voldemort finds incomprehensible , and which he detests as weakness : love . Sensing that Dumbledore could win , Voldemort disapparates , but not before the Minister for Magic sees him in person , making his return to life public knowledge in the next book . Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince Voldemort does not appear in Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince , although his presence and actions are felt : he once again declares war , and begins to rise to power once more . He murders Amelia Bones of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement , and begins to target members of the Order of the Phoenix , including Emmeline Vance . Rowling uses several chapters as exposition to establish Voldemort 's backstory . In a series of flashbacks , using the pensieve as a plot device , she reveals that Voldemort was the son of the witch Merope Gaunt and a Muggle called Tom Riddle . Riddle abandoned Merope before their child 's birth , soon after which Merope died , just hours after giving birth . After living in an orphanage , young Riddle met Dumbledore , who told him he was a wizard and arranged for him to attend Hogwarts . Riddle was outwardly a model student , but was in reality a psychopath who takes sadistic pleasure in using his powers to harm and control people . He eventually murdered his father and grandparents as revenge for abandoning him . The book also discusses Riddle 's hatred of `` Muggles '' , his obsession with Horcruxes , and his desire to split his soul to achieve immortality . Rowling stated Voldemort 's conception under the influence of a love potion symbolises the prejudicial circumstances under which he was brought into the world . In the main plot of the book , Voldemort 's next step is to engineer an assault on Hogwarts , and to attack Dumbledore . This is accomplished by Draco Malfoy , who arranges transportation of Death Eaters into Hogwarts by a pair of Vanishing Cabinets , which bypass the extensive protective enchantments placed around the school . The cabinets allow Voldemort 's Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts , where battle commences and Dumbledore is cornered . Hogwarts professor ( and re-doubled agent ) Severus Snape uses the Killing Curse against Dumbledore when Draco could not force himself to do so . Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Further information : Deathly Hallows ( objects ) In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , Voldemort furthers his quest for ultimate power . He disposes of the Minister for Magic and replaces him with Pius Thicknesse , who is under the Imperius Curse . Establishing a totalitarian police state , he has Muggle - borns persecuted and arrested for `` stealing magic '' from the `` pure blood '' wizards . After failing to kill Harry with Draco 's father Lucius Malfoy 's borrowed wand ( to avoid the effect of Priori Incantatem ) , he goes on a murderous search for the Elder Wand , the most powerful wand ever created , seeing it as the weapon he needs to overcome Harry 's wand and make him truly invincible . He goes on a quest that takes him out of the country to Gregorovitch 's wand shop , where he kills the old wandmaker . His journey also takes him to Nurmengard , the prison where Gellert Grindelwald is kept , and he kills Grindelwald as well . He finally locates the Elder Wand and steals it from Dumbledore 's tomb . Later , Voldemort finds out that Harry and his friends are hunting and destroying his Horcruxes when informed of their heist on the Lestranges ' vault at Gringotts in search for Hufflepuff 's Cup . After offering the occupants of Hogwarts mercy if they give up Harry , he assembles a large army and launches an invasion of the castle , where Harry is searching for Ravenclaw 's Diadem . Voldemort orders his pet snake Nagini to execute Snape , believing it would make him the true master of the Elder Wand , since Snape killed Dumbledore . He then calls an hour 's armistice , in exchange for Harry . When Harry willingly walks into Voldemort 's camp in the Forbidden Forest , Voldemort strikes him down with the Elder Wand . However , the use of Harry 's blood to resurrect Voldemort 's body proves to be a major setback : while Harry 's blood runs in Voldemort 's veins , Harry can not be killed as his mother 's protection lives on now in Voldemort too . Instead , Voldemort destroys the part of his own soul that resides in Harry 's body . Voldemort forces Rubeus Hagrid to carry Harry 's apparently lifeless body back to the castle as a trophy , sparking another battle during which Nagini , his last Horcrux , is destroyed by Neville Longbottom . The battle then moves into the Great Hall , where Voldemort fights Minerva McGonagall , Kingsley Shacklebolt , and Horace Slughorn simultaneously . Harry then reveals himself and explains to Voldemort that Draco became the true master of the Elder Wand when he disarmed Dumbledore ; Harry , in turn , won the wand 's allegiance when he took Draco 's wand . Refusing to believe this , Voldemort casts the Killing Curse with the Elder Wand while Harry uses a Disarming Charm with Draco 's , but the Elder Wand refuses to kill its master and the spell rebounds on Voldemort who , with all of his Horcruxes destroyed , finally dies . His body is laid in a different chamber from all the others who died battling him . Rowling stated that after his death , Voldemort is forced to exist in the stunted infant - like form that Harry sees in the King 's Cross-like Limbo after his confrontation with Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest . Rowling also mentioned that , despite his extreme fear of death , he can not become a ghost . Harry Potter and the Cursed child In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child , it is revealed that Bellatrix gave birth to Voldemort 's daughter Delphi in Malfoy Manor before the Battle of Hogwarts . Twenty - two years later , Delphi poses as Cedric 's cousin and manipulates Harry and Ginny 's second son Albus Severus Potter , his friend , Draco and Astoria Greengrass 's son Scorpius Malfoy into stealing a prototype Time Turner with which she hopes to resurrect her father . Using the Time Turner , Scorpius accidentally creates an alternative timeline where Voldemort killed Harry at the battle and now rules the wizarding world . In an attempt to achieve this future , Delphi travels to Godric 's Hollow on the night Voldemort killed Harry 's parents , hoping to avert the prophecy that led to her father 's downfall . After receiving a message from his son , Harry , together with Ron , Hermione and Draco ( who by now has become friends with Harry after they join forces to save their respective sons ) transfigures himself into Voldemort so that he can distract Delphi , allowing them to overpower her . The real Voldemort kills Harry 's parents as prophesied , and Delphi is sent to Azkaban . Portrayals within films Young Tom in his fifth year at Hogwarts as played by Christian Coulson in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets . Voldemort appears in seven Harry Potter films , namely Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2 . Several actors have portrayed him in his varying incarnations and ages . In Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , Voldemort 's manifestation is as a face on the back of Quirrell 's head , an effect achieved by computer generated imagery . Ian Hart , the actor who played Quirrell in the same film , provided the voice and the facial source for this character . Voldemort also appears in a scene in the Forbidden Forest where he is seen drinking the blood of a unicorn . As Voldemort 's face was altered enough by CG work , and Hart 's voice was affected enough , there was no confusion by Hart 's playing of the two roles . In that film , he was also shown in a flashback sequence when he arrived at the home of James and Lily Potter to kill them . In this scene Voldemort is played by Richard Bremmer , though his face is never seen . His next appearance would be in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as the 16 - year - old Tom Marvolo Riddle ( portrayed by Christian Coulson ) . Ralph Fiennes portrays Voldemort from Goblet of Fire to Deathly Hallows Part 2 . In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , Voldemort is initially only heard , possessing the scratchy , weak voice heard in the first film . By the film 's climax , however , he appears in his physical form for the first time , played by Ralph Fiennes . As in the book , Voldemort is shown clad in dark black robes , being tall and emaciated , with no hair and yellowish teeth ; his wand has a white tone and the handle appears to be made of bone ; his finger nails are long and pale blue while his toe nails appear to be infected . Unlike in the book , his pupils are not cat - like and his eyes are blue , because producer David Heyman felt that his evil would not be able to be seen and would not fill the audience with fear ( his eyes do briefly take on a snake - like appearance when he opens them after turning human , but quickly turn normal ) . As in the book , the film version of Voldemort has snake - like slit nostrils with the flesh of his nose significantly pressed back . Ralph Fiennes ' nose was not covered in makeup on the set , but was digitally removed in post-production . In this first appearance , Voldemort also has a forked tongue , but this element was removed for the subsequent films . Fiennes stated that he had two weeks to shoot the climactic showdown scene where he is gloating over a terrified Harry , played by Daniel Radcliffe . Fiennes said with a chuckle : `` I have no doubt children will be afraid of me now if they were n't before . '' In preparation , he read the novel Goblet of Fire , but jokingly conceded : `` I was only interested in my scene , and I had to go through thousands and thousands of other scenes which I did , dutifully , until I got to my scene and I read it many , many , many , many , many times and that was my research . '' Fiennes reprised his role as Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 1 and Part 2 . Fiennes 's nephew , Hero Fiennes - Tiffin , portrayed Tom Riddle as a child in Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince . By the time filming arrived Christian Coulson was 29 , and not considered suitable to return as the adolescent Riddle . Thomas James Longley was originally scheduled to take over the role , but last minute renegotiations saw Frank Dillane cast instead . Characterisation Outward appearance After he regains his body in the fourth book , Rowling describes Voldemort as having pale skin , a chalk - white , skull - like face , snake - like slits for nostrils , red eyes and cat - like slits for pupils , a skeletally thin body and long , thin hands with unnaturally long fingers . As mentioned in the first chapter of the seventh book , he also has no hair or lips . Earlier in life , as seen through flashbacks contained in the second and sixth books , Tom Marvolo Riddle was handsome and tall with pale skin , jet black hair , and dark brown eyes . He could charm many people with his looks . The transformation into his monstrous state is believed to have been the result of creating his Horcruxes and becoming less human as he continued to divide his soul . In the films , Voldemort 's eyes are blue with round pupils . Personality Rowling described Voldemort as `` the most evil wizard for hundreds and hundreds of years '' . She elaborated that he is a `` raging psychopath , devoid of the normal human responses to other people 's suffering '' , and whose only ambition in life is to become all - powerful and immortal . He is also a sadist who hurts and murders people -- especially Muggles -- just for pleasure . He has no conscience , feels no remorse , and does not recognise the worth and humanity of anybody except himself . He feels no need for human companionship or friendship , and can not comprehend love or affection for another . He believes he is superior to everyone around him , to the point that he frequently refers to himself in the third - person as `` Lord Voldemort '' . Rowling also stated that Voldemort is `` incredibly power hungry . Racist , really '' , and that if Voldemort were to look into the Mirror of Erised , he would see `` Himself , all - powerful and eternal . That 's what he wants . '' Rowling also stated that Voldemort 's conception by influence of Amortentia -- a love potion administered by his mother , a witch named Merope Gaunt , to the Muggle Tom Riddle -- is related to his inability to understand love ; it is `` a symbolic way of showing that he came from a loveless union -- but of course , everything would have changed if Merope had survived and raised him herself and loved him . The enchantment under which Tom Riddle fathered Voldemort is important because it shows coercion , and there ca n't be many more prejudicial ways to enter the world than as the result of such a union '' . Like most archetypical villains , Voldemort 's arrogance leads to his downfall . He also suffers from a pathological fear of death , which he regards as a shameful and ignominious human weakness . However , while he had many traits of a megalomaniac , he did not have all , as one common trait associated with megalomania and narcissists was shifting blame . Voldemort admitted he paid an expensive price in attacking the parents of Harry Potter , and carefully studied what went wrong when reorganizing his Death Eaters , ultimately placing the blame upon himself . According to Rowling , his Boggart would be his own corpse . Rowling also said that the difference between Harry and Voldemort is that Harry accepts mortality , and thus Harry is in the end stronger than his nemesis . Magical abilities and skills Throughout the series , Rowling establishes Voldemort as an extremely powerful , intelligent , and ruthless Dark Wizard . He is known as one of the greatest Legilimens in the world and a highly accomplished Occlumens ; he can read minds and shield his own from penetration . Besides Dumbledore , he is also the only wizard ever known to be able to apparate silently . Voldemort was also said to fear one wizard alone , Dumbledore . In the final book , Voldemort flies unsupported , something that amazes those who see it . Voldemort , like his ancestral family , the Gaunts , is a Parselmouth , meaning he can converse with serpents . This skill was inherited from his ancestor , Salazar Slytherin . The Gaunt family speak Parseltongue among themselves . This highly unusual trait may be preserved through inbreeding , a practice employed by the Gaunt Family to maintain their blood 's purity . When Voldemort attempts to kill Harry his ability to speak Parseltongue is passed to Harry through the small bit of the former 's soul . After that bit of soul is destroyed , Harry loses this ability . In a flashback in the sixth novel , Voldemort boasts to Dumbledore during a job interview that he has `` pushed the boundaries of magic farther than they had ever before '' . Dumbledore states that Voldemort 's knowledge of magic is more extensive than any wizard alive and that even Dumbledore 's most powerful protective spells and charms would likely be insufficient if Voldemort returned to full power . Dumbledore also said that Voldemort was probably the most brilliant student Hogwarts has ever seen . Although Voldemort remains highly accomplished and prodigious in skill , he is enormously lacking and highly inept in the most powerful magic , love . This inability to love and trust others proves to be Voldemort 's greatest weakness in the series . Voldemort initially voices scepticism that his own magic might not be the most powerful , but upon returning to power , he admits to his Death Eaters that he had overlooked the ancient and powerful magic which Lily Potter invoked and that would protect Harry from harm . On her website , Rowling wrote that Voldemort 's wand is made of yew , whose sap is poisonous and which symbolises death . It forms a deliberate contrast to Harry 's wand , which is made of holly , which she chose because holly is alleged to repel evil . Rowling establishes in the books that Voldemort is magically connected to Harry via Harry 's forehead scar . He disembodies himself when his Killing Curse targeting Harry rebounds on him , leaving the scar on Harry 's forehead . In the books , and to a lesser extent in the films , Harry 's scar serves as an indicator of Voldemort 's presence : it burns when the Dark Lord is near or when Voldemort is feeling murderous or exultant . According to Rowling , by attacking Harry when he was a baby Voldemort gave him `` tools ( that ) no other wizard possessed -- the scar and the ability it conferred , a magical window into Voldemort 's mind '' . Pronunciation According to Rowling , the ' t ' in `` Voldemort '' is silent , as it is in the French word for death , `` mort '' . Jim Dale pronounced it so in the US audiobooks that came before the release of the film version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , where the characters pronounced the `` t '' . After this , Dale changed his audiobook pronunciation accordingly . For all the UK audiobooks Stephen Fry pronounced the name including the `` t '' . Family Family tree Note : The names ' Thomas ' and ' Mary ' Riddle are taken from the films , and Delphini appears only in the Cursed Child play . The Potter Family is not shown . show Voldemort family tree Salazar Slytherin The Peverell Family Thomas Riddle Mary Riddle Marvolo Gaunt Tom Riddle Sr . Merope Gaunt Morfin Gaunt Tom Marvolo Riddle Bellatrix Lestrange Delphini Harry Potter Notes : Riddle family The Riddle family , an old gentry family , consisted of old Thomas and Mary Riddle and their son , Tom Riddle , Esq . They owned over half of the valley that the town of Little Hangleton lay in , and Thomas was the most prominent inhabitant of that town . They lived in a large house with fine gardens , but were unpopular amongst the local residents due to their snobbish attitudes . Tom , apparently the only child of Thomas and Mary , indulged in the typical pursuits of the upper class in the first half of the twentieth century , socialising with attractive women of his class , riding horses , and enjoying his status in the town . Rowling revealed in Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince that young Merope Gaunt made efforts to get as close to Tom as she could , peering at him through the windows and bushes at every opportunity . Morfin noticed his sister 's affection for Tom and hexed him as he rode by , covering him in hives . This breach of wizarding law , and the ensuing violent struggle with Ministry of Magic officials , led to Marvolo and Morfin being imprisoned in Azkaban . As surmised by Dumbledore , once Merope was alone and no longer dominated by her father , she could make her move for Tom . Merope offered Tom a drink laced with a love potion as he rode by one day without his attractive companion , Cecilia . He became infatuated with Merope and they eloped . Within three months of the marriage , Merope became pregnant . Merope decided to stop giving Tom the love potion , having come to the belief such enchantment of a man was tantamount to slavery . She also revealed her witch status to Tom , believing either that he had fallen in love with her on his own or he would at least stay for their unborn child . She was wrong , and Tom quickly left his pregnant wife and went home to his parents , claiming to have been `` hoodwinked '' and tricked into marrying Merope . Tom Marvolo Riddle , their son , was born on 31 December 1926 and was left to grow up in an orphanage , as Merope had died soon after giving birth . Readers first learn about the doom of the Riddles in the beginning of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire . Tom Riddle , Esq. and his parents were murdered by Tom Marvolo Riddle . The Riddles ' gardener Frank Bryce was blamed for the murders in the Muggle world , though he was never charged or tried , while in the wizarding world Morfin Gaunt was framed for them and died in Azkaban prison . In the film adaptation of The Goblet of Fire , Voldemort 's grandparents were given the names Thomas and Mary Riddle . Gaunt family Most of the exposition of the House of Gaunt 's background occurs in Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince , through the medium of Dumbledore 's Pensieve . The Gaunts were once a powerful and influential family , and are the last known descendants of Salazar Slytherin . However , an infamous streak of instability and violence that was reinforced by cousin marriages intended to preserve the pureblood line had reduced them to poverty and squalour , as shown in the Pensieve 's `` memory '' that Harry and Dumbledore witnessed . Like Salazar Slytherin , the Gaunts spoke Parseltongue . At the time of the story , the Gaunts owned hardly any assets save for a ramshackle shanty in Little Hangleton , which stood in a thicket in a valley opposite the Riddle House . Like the Riddles , the Gaunts were also unpopular with the local residents , but for the opposite reason ; their squalour was looked down upon and the vicious behavior of the Gaunt men earned them a reputation for being vulgar and intimidating . Marvolo Gaunt was the last Gaunt family patriarch . He was sentenced to a short term in Azkaban for his and his son 's assault upon a Ministry of Magic official ; this affected his health and he died soon after returning home . His signet ring passed to his son , Morfin Gaunt , who was convicted of assaulting a Muggle , and later died in Azkaban , convicted this time as a party to the murder of Tom Riddle Sr and Riddle 's parents by his nephew . The real culprit was discovered much later by Dumbledore , who visited Morfin in Azkaban to gather information about Voldemort . After Dumbledore successfully extracted Morfin 's memory of his encounter with his nephew , he tried to use the evidence to have Morfin released , but Morfin died before the decision could be made . Morfin being the last male Gaunt , the House of Gaunt ended with his death . Merope Gaunt ( / mɛˈroʊpi / ) was the daughter of Marvolo , sister of Morfin . Harry 's first impression of her was that she looked `` like the most defeated person he had ever seen '' , probably because she lived in raggedness , squalour , and abuse . She married Tom Riddle Sr and became pregnant within three months of the wedding . It is suggested that she tricked her husband into loving her by using a love potion , but when she became pregnant , she chose to stop administering the potion . It is implied that Merope had grown tired of living the lie and thought that her husband might have grown to love her , or that he might have stayed for the sake of their unborn child ; however , he left her . Desperate , Merope wandered through the streets of London . The only thing she had left was the heavy gold locket that had once belonged to Salazar Slytherin , one of her family 's most treasured items , which she sold for a small amount . When she was due to give birth , she stumbled into a Muggle orphanage , where she gave birth to her only son , Tom Marvolo Riddle . She died within the next hour . Gormlaith Gaunt was a 17th - century descendant of Salazar Slytherin , and like Salazar , a Parselmouth . Her wand was that which once belonged to Salazar himself . Educated at Hogwarts , Gormlaith lived in Ireland in the early 1600s . In about 1608 , Gormlaith killed her estranged unnamed sister , and her sister 's husband , William Sayre ( a descendant of the Irish witch Morrigan ) , and kidnapped their five - year - old daughter , Isolt Sayre , raising her in the neighbouring valley of Coomcallee , or `` Hag 's Glen '' , because she felt that her parents ' association with Muggles would badly influence Islot . Fanatical and cruel , Gormlaith used Dark magic to isolate Islot from others , forbade her a wand , and did not allow her to attend Hogwarts as she herself had , disgusted that it was now filled with Muggle - borns . After twelve years with Gormlaith , Islot stole Gormlaith 's wand and fled to the Colonies and settled in Massachusetts , where she founded the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry . When Gormlaith learned of the school , she pursued her niece in Massachusetts , where she was killed by Isolt 's friend , William the Pukwudgie , with a venom - tipped arrow . The Gaunts , including Voldemort , are distantly related to Harry because they are descendants of the Peverell brothers . Reception Several people have drawn a parallel between Voldemort and some politicians . Rowling has admitted that Voldemort was `` a sort of '' Adolf Hitler , and that there is some parallel with Nazism in her books . Rowling also compared Voldemort with Joseph Stalin , with whom he shares several traits , including that of renouncing his family name in favour of one which would invoke fear and strength . Alfonso Cuarón , director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban compared Voldemort with George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein , as the two of them `` ... have selfish interests and are very much in love with power . Also , a disregard for the environment . A love for manipulating people . '' Andrew Slack and the Harry Potter Alliance compare media consolidation in the US to Voldemort 's regime in Deathly Hallows and its control over the Daily Prophet and other media saying that `` Once Voldemort took over every form of media in the wizarding world , Dumbledore 's Army and the Order of the Phoenix formed an independent media movement called ' Potterwatch ' . Now the HP Alliance and Wizard Rock have come together to fight for a Potterwatch movement in the real world to fight back against Big VoldeMedia from further pushing out local and foreign news , minority representation , and the right to a Free Press . '' Julia Turner from Slate Magazine also noted similarities between the events of Harry Potter and the Half - Blood Prince and the current War on Terror . She said that Voldemort takes up terrorism by destroying bridges , murdering innocents , and forcing children to kill their elders . Voldemort has also been compared with other characters within fiction , for example Sauron from The Lord of the Rings ; they are , during the time when the main plot takes place , seeking to recover their lost power after having been considered dead or at least no longer a threat , and are also so feared that they are sometimes unnamed . IGN listed Voldemort as their seventh favourite Harry Potter character , calling him `` truly frightening '' . In 2014 , Watchmojo.com ranked him # 7 on their `` Top 10 Harry Potter Characters '' list , while they ranked him # 1 on their `` Top 10 Most Evil Harry Potter Villains '' and `` Top 10 Most Gut - Wrenching Harry Potter Deaths '' lists two years later . In popular culture Several campaigns have used Voldemort to compare his evilness to the influence of politicians , large media and corporations . `` Lord Voldemort '' is a nickname sometimes used for Peter Mandelson . Voldemort is also a recurring theme among wizard rock bands . Voldemort Ca n't Stop the Rock ! is the second album from Harry and the Potters , and the character is mentioned in songs such as `` The Dark Lord Lament '' and `` Flesh , Blood , and Bone '' . Voldemort has been parodied in various venues . In The Simpsons 13th season 's premiere , `` Treehouse of Horror XII '' , Montgomery Burns appears as Lord Montymort . A parody of Voldemort appears in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy as Lord Moldybutt , an enemy of Nigel Planter ( a parody of Harry ) . Voldemort also appears in the Potter Puppet Pals sketches by Neil Cicierega . One of the episodes including him was the seventeenth most viewed video of all time as of 2008 and the winner for `` Best Comedy '' of the year 2007 at YouTube . In Time , Lon Tweeten shows with Continuing the Magic possible future book covers laced with pop culture references . One of them , the `` Dark Lord of the Dance '' , shows Voldemort teaming up with Harry on Broadway . In the MAD Magazine parodies of the films , the character is called Lord Druckermort , a backwards reference to the magazine 's longtime caricaturist Mort Drucker . In Alan Moore 's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen : 1969 , a young Tom Marvolo Riddle ( introduced as `` Tom '' , whose middle name is a `` marvel '' and last name is a `` conundrum '' ) appears , and becomes the new avatar of Oliver Haddo at the story 's conclusion . In A Very Potter Musical , Voldemort is played by actor Joe Walker . Voldemort also appeared in the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in London as an inflatable representation of children 's literature villains , alongside The Queen of Hearts , Captain Hook , and Cruella de Vil . Outside of the Harry Potter video games , Voldemort is also playable in Lego Dimensions , with archive audio of Ralph Fiennes 's portrayal in the films used for his voiceovers . Voldemort also appears in The Lego Batman Movie voiced by Eddie Izzard as one of the prisoners in the Phantom Zone that the Joker recruits to take over Gotham City . A 2018 Italian fan film titled Voldemort : Origins of the Heir depicts the story of Tom Riddle 's rise to power .

"Voldemort is the archenemy of Harry Potter, who according to a prophecy has \"the power to vanquish the Dark Lord\". Nearly every witch or wizard dares not utter his unmentionable name, and refers to him instead with such expressions as \"You-Know-Who\", \"He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named\" or \"the Dark Lord\". Voldemort's obsession with blood purity signifies his aim to rid the wizarding world of Muggle (non-magical) heritage and to conquer both worlds, Muggle and wizarding, to achieve pure-blood dominance. Through his mother's family, he is the last descendant of wizard Salazar Slytherin,[3] one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the leader of the Death Eaters, a group of evil wizards and witches dedicated to ridding the Wizarding World of Muggles and establishing Voldemort as its supreme ruler."

-403849479092276536 | List of Major League Baseball perfect games | List of major League Baseball perfect games - wikipedia List of major League Baseball perfect games Jump to : navigation , search Lee Richmond , pitcher of the first perfect game in major league history Over the 140 years of Major League Baseball history , and over 210,000 games played , there have been 23 official perfect games by the current definition . No pitcher has ever thrown more than one . The perfect game thrown by Don Larsen in game 5 of the 1956 World Series is the only postseason perfect game in major league history and one of only two postseason no - hitters , the other being a no - hitter thrown by Roy Halladay in game 1 of the 2010 National League Division Series against the Cincinnati Reds . The first two major league perfect games , and the only two of the premodern era , were thrown in 1880 , five days apart . The most recent perfect game was thrown on August 15 , 2012 by Félix Hernández of the Seattle Mariners . There were three perfect games in 2012 , with no other year ever having more than two thrown . By contrast , there have been spans of 23 and 33 consecutive seasons in which not a single perfect game was thrown . The first two pitchers to accomplish the feat did so in 1880 , under rules that differed in many important respects from those of today 's game : for example , only underhand pitching -- from a flat , marked - out box 45 feet from home plate -- was allowed , it took eight balls to draw a walk , and a batter was not awarded first base if hit by a pitch . Lee Richmond , a left - handed pitcher for the Worcester Ruby Legs , threw the first perfect game . He played professional baseball for six years and pitched full - time for only three , finishing with a losing record . The second perfect game was thrown by John Montgomery Ward for the Providence Grays . Ward , an excellent pitcher who became an excellent position player , went on to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame . Though convention has it that the modern era of Major League Baseball begins in 1900 , the essential rules of the modern game were in place by the 1893 season . That year the pitching distance was moved back to 60 feet , 6 inches , where it remains , and the pitcher 's box was replaced by a rubber slab against which the pitcher was required to place his rear foot . Two other crucial rules changes had been made in recent years : In 1887 , the rule awarding a hit batsman first base was instituted in the National League ( this had been the rule in the American Association since 1884 : first by the umpire 's judgment of the impact ; as of the following year , virtually automatically ) . In 1889 , the number of balls required for a walk was reduced to four . Thus , from 1893 on , pitchers sought perfection in a game whose most important rules are the same as today , with two significant exceptions : counting a foul ball as a first or second strike , enforced by the National League as of 1901 and by the American League two years later , and the use of the designated hitter in American League games since the 1973 season . During baseball 's modern era , 21 pitchers have thrown perfect games . Most were accomplished major leaguers . Six have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame : Cy Young , Addie Joss , Jim Bunning , Sandy Koufax , Catfish Hunter , and Randy Johnson . Roy Halladay won two Cy Young Awards and was named to eight All - Star teams . David Cone won the Cy Young once and was named to five All - Star teams . Four other perfect - game throwers , Dennis Martínez , Kenny Rogers , David Wells and Mark Buehrle each won over 200 major league games . Matt Cain is a three - time All - Star and three - time World Series champion and has finished in the top ten of the Cy Young voting twice . Félix Hernández has also been a Cy Young Award winner , as well as a six - time All - Star . For a few , the perfect game was the highlight of an otherwise unremarkable career . Mike Witt and Tom Browning were solid major league pitchers ; Browning was a one - time all - star with a career record of 123 - 90 in 12 seasons , while Witt was a two - time all - star , going 117 - 116 in 12 seasons . Larsen , Charlie Robertson , and Len Barker were journeyman pitchers ; each finished his major - league career with a losing record . Dallas Braden retired with a losing record after five seasons due to a shoulder injury . Philip Humber had never before thrown so much as a complete game prior to his perfect game , and his 16 career wins through the 2013 season are less than a third of any other perfect game pitcher 's total aside from Braden .

Time : n.a. Caught by : Emil Gross Umpired by : Charles F. Daniels Box score Lee Richmond ( edit ) Scorecard for Richmond 's perfect game : `` R-A '' notation in fifth inning represents the 9 -- 3 putout Richmond was pitching in his first full season in the big leagues after appearing in one game in 1879 . He was apparently considered a good hitter , as he batted second in the lineup . His perfect game featured an unusual 9 -- 3 putout , with Worcester right fielder Lon Knight throwing out Cleveland 's Bill Phillips at first . The play came on one of three balls Cleveland hit out of the infield . Three outs were recorded on `` foul bounds '' : balls caught after bouncing once in foul territory ( the foul bound rule was eliminated three years later ) . In the seventh inning , the game was delayed for seven minutes due to rain ; Richmond dried the ball off with sawdust when he returned to the mound . A monument marks the site of the Worcester Agricultural Fairgrounds where the game took place , now part of the campus of Becker College . The feat was recognized as unusual : a newspaper report described it as `` the most wonderful game on record '' . John Montgomery Ward ( edit ) Monte Ward threw his perfect game at the Grays ' park in Providence , but Buffalo , by virtue of a coin toss , which was the custom under the rules at that time , was officially the `` home '' team , batting in the bottom of each inning . At the age of 20 years , 105 days , Ward is the youngest pitcher ever to throw a perfect game . He batted sixth in the lineup . Beginning in 1881 , the year after his perfect game , Ward spent more time as a position player than a pitcher ; in 1885 , following an arm injury , he became a full - time infielder . The five days between Ward 's game and Richmond 's is the shortest amount of time between major - league perfect games .

In either calculation , the streak remains a record . It was also part of a streak of 45 straight innings in which Young did not give up a run , which was then a record . Of the 20 perfect games for which pitch counts are available , Addie Joss 's was the most efficient -- 74 pitches , fewer than three per batter . Addie Joss ( edit ) Main article : Addie Joss ' perfect game Joss 's was the most pressure - packed of any regular - season perfect game . With just four games left on their schedule , the Cleveland Naps were involved in a three - way pennant race with the Tigers and the White Sox , that day 's opponents . Joss 's counterpart , the great Ed Walsh , struck out 15 and gave up just four scattered singles . The lone , unearned run scored as a result of a botched pickoff play and a wild pitch . The Naps ended the day tied with the Tigers for first , with the White Sox two games back ; the Tigers would ultimately win the league by a half game over the Naps . Joss would throw a second no - hitter against the White Sox in 1910 , making him and Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants the only major league pitchers ever to throw two no - hitters against the same team . Charlie Robertson ( edit ) Main article : Charlie Robertson 's perfect game Robertson 's perfect game was only his fifth appearance , and fourth start , in the big leagues . He finished his career with the fewest wins and lowest winning percentage ( 49 -- 80 , . 380 ) of any perfect - game pitcher until Philip Humber , who pitched his perfect game in 2012 . The Tigers , led by player - manager Ty Cobb , accused Robertson of illegally doctoring the ball with oil or grease . In terms of the opposing team 's ability to get on base , this is statistically the most unlikely of perfectos : the 1922 Tigers had an on - base percentage ( OBP ) of . 373 . Don Larsen ( edit ) Main article : Don Larsen 's perfect game See also : 1956 World Series Larsen did not know he would pitch in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series until a few hours before gametime . This was his second start of the Series ; he 'd lasted less than two innings in Game 2 . In his perfect game , Larsen employed the style he had adopted in mid-season , working without a windup . Just one Dodgers batter -- Pee Wee Reese , in the first inning -- worked a three - ball count . The Dodgers had the highest season winning percentage of any team ever to lose a perfect game : . 604 . The image of catcher Yogi Berra leaping into Larsen 's arms after the final strike is one of the most famous in baseball history . The 34 years between Robertson 's feat and Larsen 's is the longest gap between perfect games . Jim Bunning ( edit ) Main article : Jim Bunning 's perfect game Bunning 's perfect game , pitched on Father 's Day , was the first in the National League since Ward 's 84 years before . Defying the baseball superstition that holds one should not talk about a no - hitter in progress , Bunning spoke to his teammates about the perfect game as it developed to loosen them up and relieve the pressure . Sandy Koufax ( edit ) Main article : Sandy Koufax 's perfect game Sandy Koufax 's perfect game was the last of his four no - hitters , pitched in four consecutive seasons . Koufax 's perfect game was the first one pitched at night . It was nearly a double no - hitter , as Cubs pitcher Bob Hendley gave up only one hit , a bloop double to left - fielder Lou Johnson in the seventh inning that did not figure in the scoring . The Dodgers scored their only run in the fifth inning : Lou Johnson reached first on a walk , advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt , stole third , and scored when Cubs catcher Chris Krug overthrew third base on the play . The game also set records for the fewest number of hits by both teams , one , and the fewest number of base runners by both teams , two ( both Johnson ) . Koufax 's 14 strikeouts are tied with Matt Cain for the most ever thrown by a perfect game pitcher . Catfish Hunter ( edit ) Main article : Catfish Hunter 's perfect game Hunter , a talented batter , was also the hitting star of his perfect game . He went 3 for 4 with a double and 3 RBIs , including a bunt single that drove home the first and thus winning run in the seventh inning -- easily the best offensive performance ever by a perfect game pitcher . This was the first no - hitter of the Athletics ' Oakland tenure , which was only 25 games old . He was also the youngest pitcher ever to pitch a modern - era perfect game , at 22 years and 30 days old . Len Barker ( edit ) Main article : Len Barker 's perfect game Barker 's perfect game was the first one in which designated hitters were used . He did n't reach a three - ball count in the entire game . Toronto shortstop Alfredo Griffin , who played for the losing team in this game , went on to play for the losers in the perfect games of Browning and Martínez . Also on the losing end of this game was Danny Ainge , who would play 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association . All 11 of Barker 's strikeouts were swinging . Mike Witt ( edit ) Main article : Mike Witt 's perfect game Witt 's perfect game came on the last day of the 1984 season . Reggie Jackson , who drove in the only run of the game on a seventh - inning fielder 's choice ground ball , was also on the winning team in Witt 's perfect game . On April 11 , 1990 , Witt , pitching out of the bullpen , combined with starting pitcher Mark Langston to throw a no - hitter for the California Angels . Tom Browning ( edit ) A ticket from Browning 's perfect game . Main article : Tom Browning 's perfect game Browning 's perfect game , for the Cincinnati Reds against the Los Angeles Dodgers in September 1988 , came against the team that eventually won that year 's World Series , the only time that has happened . A two - hour , twenty - seven - minute rain delay caused the game to start at approximately 10 PM . Right fielder Paul O'Neill , who played for the winning side in this game , also played for the winning side in the perfect games of Wells and Cone . The following July 4 , Browning came within an inning of becoming the first pitcher to throw two perfect games , retiring the first 24 batters in a game against the Phillies before surrendering a leadoff double in the ninth . Dennis Martínez ( edit ) Main article : Dennis Martínez 's perfect game Martínez , born in Granada , Nicaragua , was the first major league pitcher born outside of the United States to throw a perfect game . He achieved the feat for the Montreal Expos against the Los Angeles Dodgers in July 1991 . Martínez reached only one three - ball count . Opposing pitcher Mike Morgan was perfect through five full innings , the latest the opposing starter in a perfect game has remained perfect . Two days earlier , Expos pitcher Mark Gardner no - hit the Dodgers through nine innings but lost the no - hitter in the tenth , meaning the Expos narrowly missed throwing a no - hitter and a perfect game in the same series . Martínez 's catcher , Ron Hassey , had also caught Len Barker 's perfect game . This was the third perfect game pitched against the Brooklyn / Los Angeles Dodgers , joining those of Larsen and Browning ; the only other teams to lose more than one perfect game are the Twins ( Hunter and Wells ) and the Rays ( Buehrle , Hernandez and Braden ) . Kenny Rogers ( edit ) Main article : Kenny Rogers ' perfect game Rogers benefited from center fielder Rusty Greer 's fantastic diving catch of a line drive hit by Rex Hudler , leading off the ninth inning. Rogers ' performance against the Angels came 10 seasons after Witt 's perfect game against the Rangers . The Angels and Rangers are the only major league teams to record perfect games against each other . The home plate umpire was a minor league fill - in , Ed Bean , who was working his 29th Major League game and seventh behind the plate . Bean , who was substituting for 17 - year veteran Ken Kaiser , worked only seven more MLB games following Rogers ' performance . David Wells ( edit ) Main article : David Wells ' perfect game Wells attended the same high school as Don Larsen : Point Loma High School , San Diego , California . They also both enjoyed the night life . Casey Stengel once said of Larsen , `` The only thing he fears is sleep . '' Wells has claimed to have been `` half - drunk '' and suffering from a `` raging , skull - rattling hangover '' during his perfect game . Wells ' perfect game comprised the core of a streak of 38 consecutive retired batters ( May 12 -- 23 , 1998 ) , an American League record he held until 2007 . David Cone ( edit ) Main article : David Cone 's perfect game Cone 's perfect game occurred on Yogi Berra Day . Don Larsen threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Berra , who had been his catcher during the 1956 World Series perfect game . As the game wore on , television cameras showed Larsen , the only perfect game pitcher to attend another perfect game . No Expo worked even a three - ball count . Cone 's perfect game took only 88 pitches even though it was interrupted by a 33 - minute rain delay and is the only one to date in regular - season interleague play . Following teammate Wells ' perfect game the previous season , this also represents the only time two successive perfect games have been thrown by the same team . This was the third perfect game in Yankee history ; the Indians ( Joss and Barker ) , White Sox ( Robertson , Buehrle , and Humber ) , A 's ( Hunter and Braden ) , and Phillies ( Bunning and Halladay ) are the other teams to have more than one perfect game . In 2004 , Randy Johnson , then with the Arizona Diamondbacks , became the oldest pitcher ever to throw a perfect game . Randy Johnson ( edit ) Main article : Randy Johnson 's perfect game Johnson threw his perfect game at the age of 40 years , 256 days , becoming by more than three and a half years the oldest pitcher to achieve the feat . The former holder of the mark , Cy Young , threw his at the age of 37 years , 37 days . Johnson is also the tallest perfect game pitcher at 6 ' 10 `` , surpassing Mike Witt by three inches . Of the 20 teams to have a perfect game thrown against them , the 2004 Braves have the second - highest OBP (. 343 ) and are tied for the second - highest winning percentage (. 593 ) . In contrast , the Diamondbacks had by far the worst season winning percentage (. 315 ) of any team to benefit from a perfect game . Mark Buehrle ( edit ) Main article : Mark Buehrle 's perfect game Buehrle was assisted by a dramatic ninth - inning wall - climbing catch by center fielder DeWayne Wise to rob Gabe Kapler of a home run ; Wise had just entered the game as a defensive replacement before Kapler 's at - bat . This was the first major league perfect game in which the pitcher and catcher were battery - mates for the first time ; Ramón Castro had been acquired by the White Sox less than two months before . This was also the first perfect game to feature a grand slam , by Josh Fields in the bottom of the second inning . Umpire Eric Cooper , who called the game , had been behind the plate for Buehrle 's previous no - hitter . On July 28 , Buehrle followed up with another 5 2 / 3 perfect innings to set the major league record for consecutive batters retired at 45 ( this includes the final batter he faced in his appearance before the perfect game ) . That record was broken by Yusmeiro Petit of the San Francisco Giants in 2014 Dallas Braden ( edit ) Main article : Dallas Braden 's perfect game Braden 's perfect game , pitched on Mother 's Day , was the first complete game of his career . His grandmother attended the game and celebrated on the field with him . It was the first time a perfect game had been pitched against the team with the best record in the majors at the time ; coming into the contest , the Rays were 22 -- 8 . The 2010 Rays are tied for the second - highest winning percentage (. 593 ) of any team to be on the receiving end of a perfect game . MLB 's previous perfect game had also been thrown against the Rays , making them the second team to have successive perfect games against them ( the first was the Dodgers in 1988 and 1991 ) . This game came 290 days after Buehrle 's , the shortest period between modern - day perfect games -- a record which would last just three weeks until Halladay 's . Roy Halladay ( edit ) Main article : Roy Halladay 's perfect game Halladay pitched the second perfect game of the 2010 season 20 days after Braden 's , the shortest period between perfect games in the modern era . Mark Buehrle 's perfect game had been 10 months earlier , marking the first time that three perfect games occurred within a one - year span . Seven batters reached three - ball counts against Halladay . Halladay nearly pitched a second perfect game in the 2010 NL Division Series against the Reds but gave up a walk to Jay Bruce . The hurler had to settle for a no - hitter and became the only perfect game pitcher to throw another no - hitter in the same season , and the fifth with two no - hitters . Halladay is the second pitcher to throw a perfect game and win the Cy Young Award in the same season ; Sandy Koufax did so in 1965 . Philip Humber ( edit ) Main article : Philip Humber 's perfect game On April 21 , 2012 , Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox pitched the third perfect game in White Sox history . The final out of Humber 's perfect game came after a full - count check - swing third strike to Brendan Ryan on a ball that catcher A.J. Pierzynski dropped . As Ryan disputed umpire Brian Runge 's decision that he had swung , Pierzynski threw the ball to first base for the final out . As with Braden , Humber 's perfect game was the first complete game of his career . Humber , who last pitched in Major League Baseball in 2013 , has a lifetime record of 16 - 23 , thus having the fewest career wins and lowest career winning percentage of any pitcher who has thrown a perfect game in the Major Leagues . The White Sox became the second franchise with three perfect games , joining the Yankees . Matt Cain ( edit ) Main article : Matt Cain 's perfect game On June 13 , 2012 , Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants pitched the first perfect game in Giants franchise history , the second of 3 in 2012 , and the 22nd in MLB history . Third baseman Joaquín Árias threw out Jason Castro for the final out on a deep 1 - 2 ground ball . Buster Posey was the catcher . Cain tallied 14 strikeouts , tying Sandy Koufax for the most strikeouts in a perfect game . Cain 's 125 pitches are the most ever thrown in a perfect game . Cain was aided by a running catch at the wall by Melky Cabrera in the 6th and a diving catch by Gregor Blanco in the 7th . The winning Giants scored 10 runs , making this the highest scoring perfect game . Félix Hernández ( edit ) Main article : Félix Hernández 's perfect game On August 15 , 2012 , Félix Hernández of the Seattle Mariners threw the 23rd perfect game in MLB history ( and the first in August ) against the Tampa Bay Rays . This was the first perfect game in Mariners history , and the franchise 's fourth no - hitter . Hernandez 's performance was highlighted by 12 strikeouts and a career - high 26 swinging - strikes . In an on - field interview immediately following the last out , Hernandez said he had started thinking about the possibility of a perfect game in the second inning . It was the third time in the last four seasons that Tampa Bay was the losing side of a perfect game . Four Rays -- Evan Longoria , Carlos Peña , B.J. Upton and Ben Zobrist -- joined Alfredo Griffin in having played in three perfect games for the losing team ; all four players participated in Buehrle 's and Braden 's . General notes ( edit ) Three perfect - game pitchers had RBIs in their games : Hunter ( 3 ) , Bunning ( 2 ) , and Young ( 1 ) . Hunter had three hits ; Richmond , Ward , Bunning , Martínez , and Cain each had one . Cain is the only pitcher to score a run during a perfect game ( Gregor Blanco followed him in the order and hit a home run ) . Barker , Witt , Rogers , Wells , Cone , Buehrle , Braden , Humber , and Hernández did not bat in their perfect games , as the American League adopted the designated hitter rule in 1973 . The latest the winning runs have been scored in a perfect game is the seventh inning -- this occurred in the games of Hunter ( bottom ) , Witt ( top ) , and Martínez ( top ) . Seven perfect - game pitchers have also thrown at least one additional no - hitter : Young , Joss , Bunning , Koufax , Johnson , Buehrle , and Halladay . Witt participated in a combined no - hitter . Koufax has the most total no - hitters of any perfect - game pitcher , with four . Richmond and Robertson were rookies , though each had made a single appearance in a previous season . Although by the latter part of the twentieth century , major league games were being played predominantly at night , six of the last ten perfect games , and four of the last six , have taken place in the daytime . Since 1973 , nine perfect games have been thrown with the DH rule in effect ( including one interleague game held at an American League park ) and only five without it . Perfect games by team ( edit ) Of the thirty franchises that currently make up Major League Baseball , seven have never as of the end of the 2016 season been involved in a perfect game ( win or lose ) , including three of the `` Original 16 '' franchises ( the Cardinals , Pirates and Orioles ) and four of the fourteen teams that joined MLB in the expansion era ( the Royals , Brewers , Padres and Rockies ) . The number of perfect games won and lost by the remaining twenty - three extant franchises is as follows . Franchise Perfect games won Perfect games won against Angels Astros 0 Athletics / A 's Blue Jays 0 Braves 0 Cubs 0 Diamondbacks 0 Dodgers Giants 0 Indians 0 Mariners Marlins 0 Mets 0 Expos / Nationals Phillies 0 Senators / Rangers Devil Rays / Rays 0 Reds 0 Americans / Red Sox 0 Tigers 0 Senators / Twins 0 White Sox Yankees 0 Unofficial perfect games ( edit ) Boston Red Sox pitchers Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore . In a 1917 game , Ruth was ejected after walking the first batter . Shore replaced him , erased the baserunner , and completed the game without allowing another . There have been three instances in which a major league pitcher retired every player he faced over nine innings without allowing a baserunner , but , by the current definition , is not credited with a perfect game , either because there was already a baserunner when he took the mound , or because the game went into extra innings and an opposing player eventually reached base : On June 23 , 1917 , Babe Ruth , then a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox , walked the Washington Senators ' first batter , Ray Morgan , on four straight pitches . Ruth , who had already been shouting at umpire Brick Owens about the quality of his calls , became even angrier and , in short order , was ejected . Enraged , Ruth charged Owens , swung at him , and had to be led off the field by a policeman . Ernie Shore came in to replace Ruth , while catcher Sam Agnew took over behind the plate for Pinch Thomas . Morgan was caught stealing by Agnew on the first pitch by Shore , who proceeded to retire the next 26 batters . All 27 outs were made while Shore was on the mound . Once recognized as a perfect game by Major League Baseball , this still counts as a combined no - hitter . On May 26 , 1959 , Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitched what is often referred to as the greatest game in baseball history . Haddix carried a perfect game through 12 innings against the Milwaukee Braves , only to have it ruined when an error by third baseman Don Hoak allowed Félix Mantilla , the leadoff batter in the bottom of the 13th inning , to reach base . A sacrifice by Eddie Mathews and an intentional walk to Hank Aaron followed ; the next batter , Joe Adcock , hit a home run that became a double when he passed Aaron on the bases . Haddix and the Pirates had lost the game 1 -- 0 ; despite their 12 hits in the game , they could not bring a run home . The 12 perfect innings -- 36 consecutive batters retired in a single game -- remains a record . On June 3 , 1995 , Pedro Martínez of the Montreal Expos had a perfect game through nine innings against the San Diego Padres . The Expos scored a run in the top of the tenth inning , but in the bottom , Martínez gave up a leadoff double to Bip Roberts , and was relieved by Mel Rojas , who retired the next three batters . Martínez was therefore the winning pitcher in a 1 -- 0 Expos victory . Four other games in which one team failed to reach base are not official perfect games because they were called off before nine innings were played : On August 11 , 1907 , Ed Karger of the St. Louis Cardinals pitched seven perfect innings against the Boston Braves ; second game of doubleheader called by prior agreement . On October 5 , 1907 , Rube Vickers of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched five perfect innings against the Senators ; second game of doubleheader called on account of darkness . Vickers achieved his feat on the last day of the season . He also pitched the final 12 innings of the 15 - inning first game . His back - to - back victories were his only wins of the year . On August 6 , 1967 , Dean Chance of the Minnesota Twins pitched five perfect innings against the Red Sox ; game called on account of rain . On April 21 , 1984 , David Palmer of the Expos pitched five perfect innings against the Cardinals ; second game of doubleheader called on account of rain . On March 14 , 2000 , in a spring training game -- by definition unofficial -- the Red Sox used six pitchers to retire all 27 Toronto Blue Jays batters in a 5 -- 0 victory . The starting pitcher for the Red Sox was Pedro Martínez ( see above ) . Perfect games spoiled by the 27th batter ( edit ) On thirteen occasions in Major League Baseball history , a perfect game has been spoiled when the batter representing what would have been the third and final out in the ninth inning reached base . Unless otherwise noted , the pitcher in question finished and won the game without allowing any more baserunners : On July 4 , 1908 , Hooks Wiltse of the New York Giants hit Philadelphia Phillies pitcher George McQuillan on a 2 -- 2 count in a scoreless game -- the only time a 0 -- 0 perfect game has been broken up by the 27th batter . Umpire Cy Rigler later admitted that he should have called the previous pitch strike 3 . Wiltse pitched on , winning 1 -- 0 ; his ten - inning no - hitter set a record for longest complete game no - hitter that has been tied twice but never broken . On August 5 , 1932 , Tommy Bridges of the Detroit Tigers gave up a pinch - hit single to the Washington Senators ' Dave Harris . On June 27 , 1958 , Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox gave up a double , which landed just inches in fair territory , on his first pitch to Senators pinch hitter Ed Fitz Gerald . On September 2 , 1972 , Milt Pappas of the Chicago Cubs walked San Diego Padres pinch hitter Larry Stahl on a borderline 3 -- 2 pitch . Pappas finished with a no - hitter . The umpire , Bruce Froemming , was in his second year ; he went on to a 37 - year career in which he umpired a record 11 no - hitters . Pappas believed he had struck out Stahl , and years later continued to bear ill will toward Froemming . On April 15 , 1983 , Milt Wilcox of the Tigers surrendered a pinch - hit single to the White Sox ' Jerry Hairston , Sr . On May 2 , 1988 , Ron Robinson of the Cincinnati Reds gave up a two - strike single to the Montreal Expos ' Wallace Johnson . Robinson then allowed a two - run homer to Tim Raines and was removed from the game . The final score was 3 -- 2 , with Robinson the winner . ( Robinson 's teammate Tom Browning threw his perfect game later that season . ) On August 4 , 1989 , Dave Stieb of the Toronto Blue Jays gave up a double to the New York Yankees ' Roberto Kelly , followed by an RBI single by Steve Sax . Stieb finished with a 2 -- 1 victory . This was the third time Stieb had a no - hitter broken up with two outs in the ninth inning . On April 20 , 1990 , Brian Holman of the Seattle Mariners gave up a home run to Ken Phelps of the Oakland Athletics . On September 2 , 2001 , Mike Mussina of the Yankees gave up a two - strike single to Boston Red Sox pinch hitter Carl Everett . The opposing pitcher in the game was David Cone , who had thrown the most recent perfect game two years earlier as a Yankee . On June 2 , 2010 , Armando Galarraga of the Tigers was charged with a single when first - base umpire Jim Joyce incorrectly ruled Jason Donald of the Cleveland Indians safe on an infield grounder . After the game , Joyce acknowledged his mistake : `` I just cost that kid a perfect game . I thought he beat the throw . I was convinced he beat the throw , until I saw the replay . '' Tyler Kepner of the New York Times wrote that no call had been `` so important and so horribly botched '' since the 1985 World Series . Galarraga retired the next batter as Donald advanced to third base via defensive indifference . Having taken place just four days after Halladay 's feat , the game would have set a new mark for proximity had it been perfect ; it would also have been the third perfect game in a 25 - day span . Donald was awarded first base on Galarraga 's 83rd pitch , which would have made it the second most efficient perfect game on record . Main article : Armando Galarraga 's near - perfect game On April 2 , 2013 , Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers gave up a first pitch single to Marwin González of the Astros on a ground ball between Darvish 's legs and through the middle infield . Darvish was removed from the game without facing another batter , having thrown 111 pitches . With 14 strikeouts through the first 26 batters , Darvish had a chance to tie ( or exceed , had he struck out González ) a record for a perfect game . The Rangers would go on to win the game 7 - 0 . On September 6 , 2013 , Yusmeiro Petit of the San Francisco Giants retired the first 26 Arizona Diamondbacks batters before giving up a single to pinch hitter Eric Chávez on a 3 - 2 pitch . Giants right fielder Hunter Pence dove for the ball but came up just a couple of inches short . Petit retired the next batter to finish the one - hit shutout . On June 20 , 2015 , Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals retired the first 26 Pittsburgh Pirates batters before hitting pinch - hitter José Tábata with a pitch in a 2 - 2 count . It has been contested that Tábata intentionally leaned into the pitch , which , if called as such , would not have resulted in him being awarded first base , preserving the perfect game . Scherzer retired the following batter to achieve the no - hitter . Other notable near - perfect games ( edit ) Nine or more consecutive innings of perfection ( edit ) There have been fifteen occasions in Major League Baseball history when a pitcher -- or , in one case , multiple pitchers -- recorded at least 27 consecutive outs after one or more runners reached base . In four instances , the game went into extra innings and the pitcher ( s ) recorded more than 27 consecutive outs : On May 11 , 1919 , Walter Johnson , pitching for the Senators against the Yankees , retired 28 batters in row : After surrendering a one - out single in the first to Roger Peckinpaugh and then retiring the next two batters to end the inning , he was perfect in the second through the ninth . He recorded two outs in the tenth , before giving up a walk to Home Run Baker . The first Sunday game to be played legally in New York , it was ended after the 12th inning , still scoreless , because Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert mistakenly believed the new law barred play after 6 PM . On September 24 , 1919 , Waite Hoyt , pitching for the Red Sox against the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader , gave up a run in the second inning . The Red Sox tied the game in the ninth on a solo home run by Babe Ruth , his then record - breaking 28th of the season . The game report in the New York Times states , `` Hoyt gave a remarkable performance of his pitching skill , and from the fourth inning to the thirteenth he did not allow a hit and not a Yankee runner reached first base . In these nine hitless innings the youngster was at the top of his form '' . The Yankees eventually won 2 -- 1 when , in the 13th , Wally Pipp tripled and was brought home by a sacrifice fly . ( The New York Times report states that Pipp tripled with `` two out '' -- evidently a typographical or counting error , as the subsequent sacrifice fly , which is described in detail , would not then have been possible . ) Play - by - play records are not currently available for the game , but it appears that Hoyt recorded no less than 28 consecutive outs -- the last out in the third inning and 27 in the perfect nine innings encompassing the fourth through the 12th . On September 18 , 1971 , Rick Wise , pitching for the Phillies against the Cubs , gave up a home run to the leadoff batter in the second inning , Frank Fernández . He did not allow another baserunner until Ron Santo singled with two outs in the top of the 12th . Wise retired the next batter and the Phillies scored in the bottom of the inning , making him the winner , 4 -- 3 . Wise had been perfect for 10 2 / 3 , retiring 32 consecutive batters -- the record for most consecutive outs in a game by a winning pitcher . At the plate , Wise helped his cause by going 3 for 6 , with a double and the game - winning RBI in the bottom of the 12th . The starting pitcher for the Cubs was Milt Pappas , who would have his near - perfect game one year later . On July 6 , 2005 , A.J. Burnett , then pitching for the Florida Marlins , surrendered a two - out single in the third inning that gave the Milwaukee Brewers a 4 -- 1 lead . It was the fourth hit he had given up , on top of five walks . He then retired the next ten batters before leaving the game with the Marlins trailing 4 -- 2 . In his six innings , he struck out 14 . Jim Mecir pitched a perfect seventh and Guillermo Mota pitched a perfect eighth and ninth as the Marlins rallied to send the game into extra innings . Todd Jones was perfect in the 10th and 11th and Valerio de los Santos picked up the win with a perfect 12th , for a total of 28 straight batters retired starting with the final batter of the third inning . Cy Young , first perfect game pitcher of the modern era . His 1908 no - hitter was a solo version of the Ruth -- Shore game of 1917 : a leadoff walk , a caught stealing , and perfection the rest of the way . In the eleven other instances , the leadoff batter ( or batters ) reached base in the first inning , followed by 27 consecutive batters ( or batters and baserunners ) being retired through the end of a nine - inning game . In one case , the leadoff baserunner was retired , meaning the pitcher faced the minimum : On June 30 , 1908 , Red Sox pitcher Cy Young walked the New York Highlanders ' leadoff batter , Harry Niles , who was caught stealing . No one else reached base against Young , who also had three hits and four RBIs in Boston 's 8 -- 0 win . It was the third no - hitter of Young 's career and about as close as possible to being his second perfect game . He is the only pitcher in major league history to retire 27 consecutive men in a game on two separate occasions . The remaining instances in which a pitcher recorded 27 consecutive outs in a game , noting how the opponent 's leadoff batter ( or batters ) reached base : May 24 , 1884 , Al Atkinson / Philadelphia Athletics ( Pittsburgh Alleghenys ' Ed Swartwood hit by pitch , stole second , reached third on a groundout , and scored on a passed ball ) On June 23 , 1917 , Babe Ruth and Ernie Shore pitched their combined no - hitter in which the leadoff hitter walked and was thrown out stealing second ( see `` Unofficial perfect games '' above ) . May 16 , 1953 , Curt Simmons / Philadelphia Phillies ( single by Milwaukee Braves ' Bill Bruton ) May 13 , 1954 , Robin Roberts / Phillies ( home run by Reds ' Bobby Adams ) July 1 , 1966 , Woodie Fryman / Pittsburgh Pirates ( single by New York Mets ' Ron Hunt ) May 19 , 1981 , Jim Bibby / Pirates ( single by Atlanta Braves ' Terry Harper ) June 11 , 1982 , Jerry Reuss / Los Angeles Dodgers ( double by Reds ' Eddie Milner , who reached third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a fielder 's choice ) April 22 , 1993 , Chris Bosio / Seattle Mariners ( walks by Red Sox Ernest Riles and Carlos Quintana , the latter of whom was retired on a double play ) July 7 , 2006 , John Lackey / Los Angeles Angels ( double by Oakland Athletics ' Mark Kotsay ) May 10 , 2013 , Shelby Miller / St. Louis Cardinals ( single by Colorado Rockies ' Eric Young , Jr . ) No - hitters with no walks issued and no batters hit by pitch ( edit ) On eleven occasions in Major League Baseball history , a pitcher recorded 27 outs without surrendering a hit , walk , or having a batter reach on a hit - by - pitch , but lost a perfect game because a baserunner reached through a fielding error : Perfect games ruined by errors committed by the pitcher : July 19 , 1974 -- Dick Bosman , Cleveland Indians vs. Oakland Athletics ( throwing error by Bosman with two outs in the 4th inning ) Perfect games ruined by errors committed by other players : June 13 , 1905 -- Christy Mathewson , New York Giants vs. Chicago Cubs ( fielding error by Bill Dahlen with one out in the 4th inning , and fielding error by Billy Gilbert with one out in the 6th inning ) September 5 , 1908 -- Nap Rucker , Brooklyn Superbas vs. Boston Doves ( three errors ) July 1 , 1920 -- Walter Johnson , Washington Senators at Boston Red Sox ( fielding error by Bucky Harris with no outs in the 7th inning ) September 3 , 1947 -- Bill McCahan , Washington Senators at Philadelphia Athletics ( throwing error by Ferris Fain with one out in the 2nd inning ) June 27 , 1980 -- Jerry Reuss , Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants ( throwing error by Bill Russell with two outs in the 1st inning ) August 15 , 1990 -- Terry Mulholland , Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants ( throwing error by Charlie Hayes with no outs in the 7th inning ) July 10 , 2009 -- Jonathan Sánchez , San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres ( fielding error by Juan Uribe with one out in the 8th inning ) June 18 , 2014 -- Clayton Kershaw , Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies ( throwing error by Hanley Ramírez with no outs in the 7th inning ) October 3 , 2015 -- Max Scherzer , Washington Nationals vs. New York Mets ( throwing error by Yunel Escobar with no outs in the 6th inning ) August 23 , 2017 -- Rich Hill , Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh Pirates ( fielding error by Logan Forsythe with no outs in the 9th inning ) There has never been an occasion in which a perfect game was solely ruined through an uncaught third strike . The closest instance of this happening was during Philip Humber 's perfect game . His 27th out was recorded on a dropped third strike ; however , catcher A.J. Pierzynski was able to retrieve the ball in time to throw to first base .

The Jaguars compete in the National Football League ( NFL ) as a member club of the American Football Conference ( AFC ) South division . The team plays its home games at TIAA Bank Field . The Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers joined the NFL as expansion teams for the 1995 season . Since their inception , the Jaguars have won division championships in 1998 and 1999 ( as members of the now - defunct AFC Central ) and 2017 ( as members of the AFC South ) and have qualified for the playoffs seven times , most recently in 2017 after a ten - season playoff drought . From their inception until 2011 , the Jacksonville Jaguars ' majority owner was Wayne Weaver . The team was then purchased by Pakistani - born businessman Shahid Khan for an estimated $ 770 million . In 2015 , Forbes estimated the team value at $1.48 billion .

In 1989 , the prospective ownership group Touchdown Jacksonville ! was organized . The group initially included future Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Jacksonville developer Tom Petway , and came to be led by shoe magnate Wayne Weaver , founder of Nine West . In 1991 , the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams in 1994 ( later delayed until 1995 ) , its first expansion since the 1976 addition of the Seattle Seahawks and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Touchdown Jacksonville ! announced its bid for a team , and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists , along with Charlotte , St. Louis , Baltimore , and Memphis . Jacksonville was considered the least likely expansion candidate for several reasons . The Jacksonville metropolitan area and television market were smaller than those of nearly every team in the league . Although Jacksonville was the 15th largest city in the nation at the time ( It has since grown to become the 11th - largest ) , it has always been a medium - sized market because the surrounding suburbs and rural areas are far smaller than the city itself . There were 635,000 people in Jacksonville proper according to the 1990 census , but only 900,000 people in the metropolitan area . Additionally , the Gator Bowl was outdated , and the ownership group struggled to negotiate a lease with the city . The troubled negotiations over the Gator Bowl lease led the ownership group to withdraw from the NFL expansion bidding in July 1993 . Charlotte was awarded the first franchise -- the Carolina Panthers -- in October 1993 . Surprisingly , the naming of the second expansion city was delayed a month . Most pundits speculated that the delay was made to allow St. Louis to shore up its bid . At the time , St. Louis was considered the favorite for the second franchise , with Baltimore 's three bids also considered strong . However , in a surprising move , the NFL owners voted 26 -- 2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville . After the Gator Bowl game on December 31 , 1993 , the old stadium was essentially demolished and replaced with a reinforced concrete superstructure . All that remained of the old stadium was the west upper concourse and a portion of the ramping system . To accommodate construction , the 1994 and 1995 games of `` The World 's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party '' were split between the home fields of Florida and Georgia , and the 1994 Gator Bowl was played at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville . 1995 -- 2002 ( edit ) Tom Coughlin was Jacksonville 's head coach for its first eight seasons In January 1994 Wayne Weaver chose Tom Coughlin as the first - ever head coach of the Jaguars . Coughlin had worked in the NFL as a position coach , but he had been neither a head coach nor a coordinator in the NFL . The Jaguars ' hiring of Coughlin contrasted with the hiring moves made by their fellow expansion team . The same month that Weaver hired Coughlin as his head coach , Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson went a more conventional route and hired former Buffalo Bills general manager Bill Polian as the Panthers ' first GM ( the Panthers ' head coach , Dom Capers , would not be hired until a full year after Coughlin ) . As it emerged that Weaver had no intention of hiring a general manager , it became apparent that Coughlin would have most of the authority regarding hiring decisions . Coughlin spent his year as `` head coach without a team '' preparing for the personnel moves that would come from the expansion draft , free agency , and the rookie draft in the spring of 1995 . 1995 ( edit ) Main article : 1995 Jacksonville Jaguars season The inaugural logo of the Jacksonville Jaguars . Along with the Carolina Panthers , the Jacksonville Jaguars entered the NFL as the first expansion teams in almost 20 years . Both teams participated in the 1995 NFL expansion draft , with the Jaguars taking Steve Beuerlein with the first pick . Beuerlein quickly lost his starting job to former Green Bay Packers backup Mark Brunell . The Jaguars finished their inaugural season with a record of 4 -- 12 . Both the Jaguars and the Panthers ( 7 -- 9 ) broke the previous record for most wins by an expansion team ( 3 ) set by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968 . The inaugural season featured many of the players who would lead Jacksonville into the playoffs in the team 's next four seasons , including quarterback Mark Brunell ( acquired in a draft day trade from Green Bay ) , offensive lineman Tony Boselli ( drafted with the 2nd pick overall in the 1995 NFL Draft ) running back James Stewart ( also drafted in 1995 ) , and wide receiver Jimmy Smith ( signed as a free agent ) . Mark Brunell practicing with the Jaguars before their inaugural game on September 3 , 1995 . The team played its first regular season game at home in front of a crowd of 72,363 on September 3 , 1995 , a 10 -- 3 loss against the Houston Oilers . The team picked up its first win in Week 4 as the Jaguars defeated the Oilers 17 -- 16 on October 1 in Houston . The next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers , the Jaguars earned their first home win by defeating the eventual AFC Champions 20 -- 16 . The team 's other two wins came in a season sweep of the Cleveland Browns including a Week 17 24 -- 21 victory sealed by a Mike Hollis 34 - yard field goal in the Browns ' final game before the team relocated to Baltimore and was renamed the Ravens . Main article : 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars season Jacksonville 's 1996 season was a marked success as they won six of their last seven games of the season and finished with a record of 9 -- 7 . Quarterback Mark Brunell threw for over 4,000 yards and wide receivers Keenan McCardell and Jimmy Smith each accumulated over 1,000 receiving yards . In the team 's final game of the regular season against the Atlanta Falcons , needing a win to earn a playoff berth , the Jaguars caught a bit of luck when Morten Andersen , one of the most accomplished kickers in NFL history , missed a 30 - yard field goal with less than a minute remaining that would have given the Falcons the lead . The Jaguars clinched the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs . The Jaguars visited the Buffalo Bills in their first playoff game in franchise history . Despite being a heavy underdog , the Jaguars won 30 -- 27 , and knocked Buffalo quarterback Jim Kelly out of what would turn out to be the last game of his career . Their next game was on the road against the Denver Broncos , who had earned the AFC 's top seed with a 13 -- 3 record and were widely regarded as the best team in the AFC , if not the NFL . While the Broncos scored two touchdowns early in the game , after the first quarter , the Jaguars largely dominated . In what is often regarded as one of the three biggest upsets in NFL playoff history , the Jaguars defeated the Broncos by the same score as the previous week against the Bills , 30 -- 27 . Upon their return home , the Jags were greeted by an estimated 40,000 fans at the stadium . Many of these fans had watched the game on the stadium JumboTron displays and had stayed into the early hours of the morning when the team arrived . In the AFC Championship Game , the Jaguars miracle season came to an end , as they lost 20 -- 6 to the New England Patriots , in Foxboro . Their fellow second - year NFC expansion team , the Carolina Panthers , also got to their conference championship game , where they lost 30 -- 13 to the eventual Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers . 1997 -- 99 ( edit ) Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Cincinnati Bengals in January 2000 . Main article : 1997 Jacksonville Jaguars season In 1997 , the franchise 's third season , the Jaguars and the Steelers both finished the season with an 11 -- 5 record , tops in the AFC Central Division . Pittsburgh won the division in a tiebreaker as a result of having higher net in division games than Jacksonville . As a result , the Jaguars settled for 2nd place in the division , a Wild Card berth and , for the second straight year , the 5th seed in the AFC playoffs . The Jags postseason would end quickly as they fell in their first game , a 42 -- 17 defeat against the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium . The Broncos , led by Terrell Davis , ran at will against the Jaguars , rushing for 5 touchdowns and over 300 yards . Main article : 1998 Jacksonville Jaguars season In 1998 , the Jaguars again finished 11 -- 5 and won their first AFC Central Division title . The team became the first NFL expansion team to make the playoffs three times in its first four seasons of play . In the Wild Card Round , the Jaguars hosted their first home playoff game , a 25 -- 10 win over the New England Patriots . The team 's season ended the next week in the Divisional Round as the New York Jets defeated the Jaguars 34 -- 24 . Main article : 1999 Jacksonville Jaguars season In 1999 , the Jaguars compiled a league best 14 -- 2 regular season record , the best record in franchise history . The team 's two losses were to the Tennessee Titans . The Jaguars won the AFC Central Division for the second straight year and clinched the # 1 seed in the AFC . The Jaguars hosted the Miami Dolphins in the AFC Divisional playoffs , a 62 -- 7 victory in what would be Dan Marino and Jimmy Johnson 's last NFL game . Jacksonville 's 62 points and 55 - point margin are the second most ever in NFL playoff history , and Fred Taylor 's 90 - yard run in the first quarter is the longest ever in an NFL playoff game . The Jaguars ' bid for a Super Bowl title came to an end the next week in the AFC championship game . The Jags fell at home to the Titans 33 -- 14 in a game that the Jaguars led 14 -- 10 at halftime , before allowing 23 unanswered points in the 2nd half . The Jaguars finished the 1999 season 15 -- 3 , with all three of their losses coming against the Titans . The loss marked the end of an era that saw the Jaguars make the playoffs in four of the team 's first 5 years and would be the team 's last playoff appearance until the 2005 season . 2000 -- 02 ( edit ) Main articles : 2000 Jacksonville Jaguars season , 2001 Jacksonville Jaguars season , and 2002 Jacksonville Jaguars season The Jaguars struggled during this period , due in part to salary cap problems . In the 2000 season , veteran quarterback Mark Brunell and young running back Fred Taylor led the squad through a painful 7 -- 9 season . The Jaguars finished with records of 6 -- 10 in both the 2001 and 2002 seasons . After the 2002 season , head coach Tom Coughlin was fired after eight seasons , leading the Jaguars to a total record of 68 -- 60 and four trips to the playoffs . The 2002 season also marked the last full season for Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell , who was benched in the third game of 2003 in favor of Byron Leftwich . Brunell piled up over 25,000 yards as a Jaguar and earned three trips to the Pro Bowl . In 2002 the NFL split up the two conferences into four divisions , sending the Jacksonville Jaguars to the AFC South . This put them in the same division as the Indianapolis Colts , Tennessee Titans , and the expansion Houston Texans . 2003 -- 2011 ( edit ) Head Coach Jack Del Rio set an NFL - record for consecutive seasons ( 9 ) coaching a team without once winning a division title . 2003 -- 05 ( edit ) Main articles : 2003 Jacksonville Jaguars season , 2004 Jacksonville Jaguars season , and 2005 Jacksonville Jaguars season In 2003 , the Jaguars hired Jack Del Rio as head coach . Del Rio was a linebacker during the late 80s and early 90s before retiring . He was formerly the Carolina Panthers ' defensive coordinator , bringing the team 's defensive ranking from 30th to second . Prior to that , Del Rio was the Baltimore Ravens linebackers coach , participating in that capacity on the Ravens ' record setting championship 2000 defense . The Jaguars selected quarterback Byron Leftwich with the seventh pick of the NFL draft . The Jaguars had high hopes for their new quarterback . The team had many failures and heartbreaking moments , ending the 2003 season at 5 -- 11 and missing the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season . Despite resolving their salary cap problems , the team 's rebuilding was clearly taking longer than expected . Byron Leftwich was the quarterback of the Jaguars from 2003 to 2006 Maurice Jones - Drew , one of the league 's smallest running backs turned out to be a second round steal for the Jags Reggie Nelson hitting Reggie Wayne of the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football in 2007 . Josh Scobee is the all - time leading scorer for the Jaguars with 1,022 points . The 2004 season , the 10th season of the Jaguars franchise , resulted in a 9 -- 7 record , their first winning season since 1999 , with road victories against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field and the Indianapolis Colts at the RCA Dome . The Jaguars ' defense was a strong suit , as it included two Pro Bowl players , defensive tackles Marcus Stroud and John Henderson . Josh Scobee was selected in the 5th round of the 2004 NFL Draft and became a dominant placekicker for the Jaguars setting multiple franchise records . Byron Leftwich enjoyed a solid year in 2004 , helped by strong performances from holdovers Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith . Unfortunately , Taylor sustained a season - ending injury at Green Bay . The very next week the Jaguars fell to the Houston Texans , which would ultimately eliminate them from playoff contention . The 2005 Jaguars hoped to challenge the Colts for the division title . However , due to their scintillating 13 -- 0 start , including two victories against the Jaguars , the Colts easily clinched the AFC South title . With a 12 -- 4 record , the Jaguars earned a wild card and their first playoff appearance since 1999 . While the Jaguars managed to win key games in 2005 , nine of their final ten games were against opponents with losing records . Though these games were wins , key players Byron Leftwich , Mike Peterson , Akin Ayodele , Paul Spicer , and Rashean Mathis were hurt during this stretch . The Jaguars ended the season losing 28 -- 3 to the two - time defending champion New England Patriots on January 7 , 2006 in the AFC wild card playoff round . 2006 ( edit ) Main article : 2006 Jacksonville Jaguars season Jacksonville looked like a team on the rise coming off of their 12 -- 4 season , and was considered a playoff contender entering the season . But injuries plagued the team . Reggie Hayward , Greg Jones , Donovin Darius , Byron Leftwich , and Mike Peterson all suffered season - ending injuries . Marcus Stroud , Matt Jones , Paul Spicer , and Fred Taylor also faced injuries during the season . The team started off 2 -- 0 , defeating the Dallas Cowboys ( earning the NFL 's highest winning percentage on opening days at . 750 with a record of 9 -- 3 ) , and shutting out the defending champs Pittsburgh Steelers . But the team lost its next two games , and suffered embarrassing losses to the Houston Texans over the course of the season ( Jacksonville has struggled against the Texans since Houston entered the league in 2002 ) . They missed the playoffs with an 8 -- 8 record , but there were some positives , in particular an impressive rookie season by their second - round draft pick , running back Maurice Jones - Drew . 2007 ( edit ) Main article : 2007 Jacksonville Jaguars season In the 2007 NFL Draft , the Jaguars used their first - round pick ( 21st overall ) to select Florida safety Reggie Nelson . On June 15 , 2007 , the Jaguars released veteran strong safety Donovin Darius , who had seen diminished playing time in previous years due to mounting injuries . On August 31 , 2007 , the Jaguars announced that long time back - up quarterback David Garrard would start for the team , ahead of former first round draft pick Byron Leftwich , who was released in the team 's final roster cuts . Garrard led the Jaguars to an 11 -- 5 record and a wild card spot in the playoffs . The Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31 -- 29 to win their first playoff game in almost eight years and their first road playoff win since 1997 . It was also the first time in the 50 + year history of the Steelers that they had been beaten twice at home by the same team in the same season . However , in the divisional round , the Jaguars fell to the then - undefeated New England Patriots ; the teams were tied at halftime , but the Patriots pulled ahead and won 31 -- 20 . Tom Brady completed 26 of 28 passes in this game , being pressured by the Jaguars ' defense only once , on the first play . This game , more than any other , gave the Jaguars ' front office a strong desire to upgrade the pass rush during the offseason . The team 's offense in 2007 was largely a run - first offense , with Maurice Jones - Drew and Fred Taylor each putting up a lot of yards . David Garrard , however showed to be an efficient passer in 2007 , throwing only 3 interceptions . 2008 ( edit ) Main article : 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars season The 2008 season began with high expectations for the Jaguars . The team acquired free agent wide receiver Jerry Porter and rookie defensive ends Quentin Groves of Auburn and Derrick Harvey of Florida to address the team 's most glaring needs . ( Porter was released the following year and Groves was traded to Oakland in 2010 . ) Journalists including ESPN. com 's Kevin Seifert predicted the Jaguars were poised to make a Super Bowl run . However , the Jaguars failed to live up to those expectations , struggling to a 5 -- 11 finish , the franchise 's worst record since 2003 . The team 's struggles were in part , the result of a rash of injuries to the team 's offensive line . The Jaguars lost starting guards Vince Manuwai and Maurice Williams for the season within the first quarter of the opening game . Tackle Richard Collier 's career ended in early September when he was brutally attacked and shot 14 times . Center Brad Meester missed the first two months of the season and guard Chris Naeole , signed to the roster mid-season in response to these injuries , was injured in pregame warmups before playing a single snap . The 2008 season marked the end of running back Fred Taylor 's 11 - year career as a Jaguar . Taylor , who is considered to be one of the greatest Jaguars in the history of the franchise , rushed for over 10,000 yards during his tenure with Jacksonville and earned one trip to the Pro Bowl . In 2009 , he signed with the New England Patriots . Taylor 's departure opened up the door for Maurice Jones - Drew to become the team 's feature running back . In 2011 , Taylor signed a one - day contract so he could retire as a Jaguar . 2009 -- 2010 ( edit ) Main articles : 2009 Jacksonville Jaguars season and 2010 Jacksonville Jaguars season The Jaguars hoped to begin a new era in 2009 under their first - ever general manager , Gene Smith . Smith made his mark early on in the 2009 NFL Draft by acquiring talent such as Eugene Monroe , Terrance Knighton , Derek Cox , Eben Britton and Mike Thomas , who all made significant contributions in their rookie years . The Jaguars finished off this season 7 -- 9 and did not manage to make the playoffs . In the offseason , the Jaguars parted ways with veteran players John Henderson and Reggie Hayward as part of the team 's `` youth movement '' . The Jaguars entrance in 2009 . However , 2009 also saw the team 's attendance numbers plummet , leading to television blackouts and speculation that the team could eventually be moved or sold . 2009 marked a low point , with the team 's attendance averaging around 50,000 , causing seven of the eight home games to be blacked out , and leading NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to address the issue with owner Wayne Weaver . Jacksonville is one of the league 's smallest markets , though its stadium is relatively large ; since 2005 the team has covered nearly 10,000 of the stadium 's 73,000 total seats with tarp in order to lower the stadium 's official capacity to a more typical size and reduce blackouts . 73,000 total seats still ranks as one of the largest in the NFL . From 2008 the team further suffered from the late - 2000s recession , which hit Florida particularly hard , and structural changes within the NFL that disadvantage teams in smaller markets . In 2010 , to address this issue , the team and the City of Jacksonville undertook several measures aimed at ensuring the franchise 's continued viability in Jacksonville . Supporters began the `` Team Teal '' drive to drum up ticket sales . The city negotiated a five - year , $16.6 million naming rights deal with Jacksonville - based EverBank to rename the stadium EverBank Field . As a result , the Jaguars ' attendance increased dramatically in 2010 . While attendance figures were stagnant for most of the NFL , Jacksonville saw an increase of 36.5 % , by far the highest in the league , and had none of their home games blacked out . Wells Fargo Center with their `` Go Jaguars '' lighting for the 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars season The 2010 season proved a big year for the Jaguars on the field as well . Running back Maurice Jones - Drew emerged as second in the league in rushing yards and David Garrard threw for 23 touchdowns , a franchise record . Marcedes Lewis went to his first pro bowl and the Jags had one of the best young defensive tackle duo with Terrance Knighton and rookie Tyson Alualu . Josh Scobee set a team record with a 59 - yard field goal to beat the Indianapolis Colts . Heading into December , Jacksonville was at the top of the AFC South and in playoff contention . In Week 15 , they lost to Indianapolis , 34 -- 24 , which placed the Colts back atop the AFC South . The Jaguars lost their last two games , placing themselves out of playoff contention . They finished the season 8 -- 8 . 2011 ( edit ) Main article : 2011 Jacksonville Jaguars season The 2011 season began on the 10th anniversary of the 9 / 11 attacks . In the 2011 NFL draft , the Jaguars traded a first and a second round pick in order to move up to the 10th pick and select Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert . On September 6 , 2011 , quarterback David Garrard was cut from the team just days before the start of the season ; Luke McCown was named starter . The move was similar to the one that named Garrard himself the starter over Byron Leftwich in 2007 . McCown started two games until he threw four interceptions in a lopsided loss to the New York Jets and Blaine Gabbert was named the starter the following week . The Jaguars offense would continue to struggle under the rookie quarterback , losing the next 4 games in a row , until an upset victory over the Baltimore Ravens at home on Monday Night Football . On November 29 , 2011 , owner Wayne Weaver announced the firing of head coach Jack Del Rio , whose record had been 3 -- 8 through the first 12 weeks of the season and 68 -- 71 over his 9 - year tenure . Del Rio was succeeded by defensive coordinator Mel Tucker on an interim basis . Weaver also announced that General Manager Gene Smith had been given a three - year extension of his contract . 2012 ( edit ) Businessman Shahid Khan purchased the Jaguars in 2012 . Immediately following the announcement of Del Rio being fired , Weaver also announced that the team would be sold to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan . Khan 's assumption of ownership was approved a couple of weeks later by the NFL team owners , and Khan took over full ownership on January 4 , 2012 . He immediately began the team 's search for head coaching candidates . On February 13 , 2012 , the Jaguars hired MetLife Stadium president and CEO Mark Lamping as team president . Lamping also spent 13 years as the president of the St. Louis Cardinals . Lamping is the second team president in franchise history and the first since 1997 , when David Seldin left that position . 2012 ( edit ) Main article : 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars season On January 10 , 2012 , former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey was named head coach of the Jaguars . On January 13 , it was announced that interim head coach Mel Tucker would remain on the staff as defensive coordinator / assistant head coach and that former Falcons quarterbacks coach Bob Bratkowski would become offensive coordinator . On January 20 , 2012 , the team hired John Bonamego as special teams coordinator . The Jaguars began the 2012 season with a new coaching staff and a new owner . One of the main priorities of the new leadership was to improve the team 's struggling receiving corps and see improvement from quarterback Blaine Gabbert after a disappointing rookie season . To do this , the team selected wide receiver Justin Blackmon in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft and acquired Laurent Robinson in free agency . Despite the changes , the team struggled mightily on both sides of the ball . The team finished with a 2 -- 14 record , the worst in franchise history . Both general manager Gene Smith and head coach Mike Mularkey were fired shortly after the end of the season . NFL International Series ( edit ) Main article : NFL International Series On August 21 , 2012 , the Jaguars announced they had finalized a deal to play one regular season home game each year between 2013 and 2016 at London 's historic Wembley Stadium as part of the NFL International Series . The first of these games was against the San Francisco 49ers on October 27 , 2013 . This deal was later extended through 2020 . 2013 -- 2016 ( edit ) Main article : 2013 Jacksonville Jaguars season Jaguars take the field in London , United Kingdom on October 27 , 2013 . On January 8 , 2013 , former Atlanta Falcons Director of Player Personnel David Caldwell was hired as the second full - time General Manager in Jaguars history . He formerly served as a scout for the Indianapolis Colts for 10 years from 1998 -- 2007 . His first task with the team was to lead the interview process for a new head coach . Nine days later former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was named head coach of the Jaguars . The Jaguars struggled early on in 2013 and went into the bye week with an 0 -- 8 record . On November 1 Justin Blackmon was suspended indefinitely after violating the NFL 's Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse . Despite the loss of Blackmon the Jaguars got their first win with Gus Bradley on November 10 with a 29 -- 27 victory over the Tennessee Titans . This was followed by a respectable showing against the Arizona Cardinals , despite a 27 -- 14 loss , and the Jaguars ' second and third victory of the season against the Houston Texans and the Cleveland Browns . The Jaguars would win again the very next week against the Houston Texans 27 -- 20 on Thursday night , improving to 4 -- 9 . They finished the season 4 -- 12 . 2014 -- 2015 ( edit ) Main articles : 2014 Jacksonville Jaguars season and 2015 Jacksonville Jaguars season Blake Bortles handing off to Toby Gerhart in December 2014 . After finishing the 2013 season with a 4 -- 12 record , a two - win improvement over the previous season , the Jaguars traded their 2011 NFL draft first round draft pick Blaine Gabbert to the San Francisco 49ers for the 6th round pick of the 2014 NFL draft . Maurice Jones - Drew , after 7 years with the Jaguars , also left the team and signed a three - year contract with the Oakland Raiders . In the first round of the 2014 NFL draft the Jaguars selected quarterback Blake Bortles from University of Central Florida and then wide receiver Marqise Lee from University of Southern California in the second round . The new draft picks helped put more confidence in the struggling team . Justin Blackmon was suspended yet again for violating the NFL 's Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse in July . Later in July , EverBank Field unveiled their two new endzone scoreboards , which are considered to be the world 's largest . The Jaguars managed to end their season with a 3 -- 13 record . Dante Fowler Jr. was selected by the Jaguars as the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft . However , Fowler tore his ACL at rookie minicamp on May 8 and did not return for the 2015 season . Josh Scobee was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a 2016 NFL Draft sixth round pick . Jason Myers took over as the main placekicker for the Jaguars . The Jaguars finished the 2015 season with a record of 5 -- 11 , the team 's fifth straight losing season and their eighth straight non-winning season . The Star - Spangled Banner performed before a Jacksonville Jaguars game at EverBank Field in 2015 . 2016 -- 2017 ( edit ) Main article : 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars season With plenty of cap space to work with , Jacksonville splurged in free agency , adding defensive tackle Malik Jackson from the Denver Broncos and cornerback Prince Amukamara from the New York Giants . With the fifth selection , the Jaguars selected cornerback Jalen Ramsey from Florida State University in the first round and then the second round linebacker Myles Jack of UCLA in the 2016 NFL Draft . Jack was considered to be a top - 10 talent , but fell to the second round due to a knee injury . On October 2 , 2016 , the Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the Indianapolis Colts 30 -- 27 in the NFL International Series game . On December 18 , 2016 , Gus Bradley was fired after the Jaguars ' ninth loss in a row during the 2016 season . Bradley 's W-L record as head coach of the Jaguars was 14 -- 48 in three seasons . 2017 -- present ( edit ) Main article : 2017 Jacksonville Jaguars season On January 9 , 2017 the Jaguars announced the interim head coach Doug Marrone was to be the new head coach , the contract of General Manager David Caldwell was to be extended and Tom Coughlin was returning to Jacksonville to become Executive Vice President of Football Operations . Both Doug Marrone and David Caldwell report to the Executive Vice President Tom Coughlin . In the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft the Jaguars selected running back Leonard Fournette of LSU . At the annual NFL International Series in London on September 24 , 2017 Jaguars players locked arms and kneeled during the national anthem in response to President Donald Trump 's remarks on NFL players who kneel . Shahid Khan also participated with the Jaguars in locking arms during the anthem and the Baltimore Ravens kneeled on the opposite side of the field . The Jaguars went on to defeat the Ravens in a 44 - 7 win . Four weeks later on October 17 , President of the Jaguars Mark Lamping sent a letter of apology to the director of military affairs and veterans in Jacksonville that says the Jaguars were '' remiss in not fully comprehending the effect of the national anthem demonstration on foreign soil has had on the men and women who have or continue to serve our country . '' After their week 15 win over the Houston Texans , the Jaguars clinched their first playoff trip since 2007 ; they finished the season 10 - 6 , a seven - game turnaround from the previous year . The Jaguars defeated the Buffalo Bills 10 - 3 in Jacksonville , marking the first playoff win in ten years . In the Divisional Round , on January 14 , 2018 , the Jaguars defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 45 - 42 in Pittsburgh to advance to their 3rd AFC Championship Game , and their first since 1999 . However , they narrowly fell to the New England Patriots 24 - 20 . For the season , the defense earned the nickname `` Sacksonville '' because of its dominance . Team colors , logos and mascot ( edit ) Logos ( edit ) The day after the NFL awarded the expansion team to Jacksonville , a triumphant Wayne Weaver held up the Jaguars ' proposed silver helmet and teal jersey at the NFL owners ' meeting in Chicago . The team 's colors were to be teal , gold , and silver with black accents . However , this jersey and helmet design , with a gold leaping jaguar , created controversy . Ford Motor Company , then - parent of the automaker Jaguar , believed that the Jaguars ' logo bore too much resemblance to the automaker 's logo . Though no lawsuit was brought to trial , lawyers from the team and the automaker negotiated an ultimately amicable agreement whereby Jaguar would be named the official car of the Jaguars , and the Jaguars would redesign their uniforms . The new logo was a snarling jaguar head with a teal tongue , which Weaver said was his wife 's touch . He also claimed that the teal tongue came from `` feeding Panthers to our Jaguars '' -- an obvious jab at their expansion brethren . During the Jaguars ' first ever preseason game teal - colored candies were handed out to all the fans who attended , turning their tongues a teal color just like on the logo . Additionally , raspberry lollipops were handed out by the `` Candy Man '' in section 142 to also turn the home fans ' tongues teal . In 2009 , Weaver announced that he wanted to ' clean up ' the team 's image . This meant the elimination of the full - body crawling Jaguar logo , the clawing Jaguar , and the two previous wordmarks which bent the text around these logos . In February 2013 , Jaguars owner Shahid Khan , who had acquired the team in late 2011 , introduced a new brand identity for the team that included a new logo , wordmark , and secondary logo . The new Jaguar head logo was intended to be `` fiercer '' and more realistic . The secondary logo incorporated the new Jaguar head logo along with the first official usage of the team 's popular nickname `` Jags '' . The two images were incased in a shield - style shape , designed to be a tribute to Jacksonville 's military community . Beginning in 2013 , the Jaguars began to feature gold more prominently than in the past . In fact , from 2009 -- 12 gold had only been used in the team logo and as a minor accent color . Jaguars wordmark logo ( 1995 -- 1998 ) Jaguars wordmark logo ( 1999 -- 2008 ) Jaguars wordmark logo ( 2009 -- 2012 ) Uniforms ( edit ) For most of their history , the Jaguars have done what many other NFL teams located in subtropical climates traditionally practice : wear their white jerseys at home during the first half of the season -- forcing opponents to wear their dark ones under the sweltering autumns in Jacksonville . The only exceptions were in 2004 and 2008 -- 10 , when the Jaguars chose to wear teal for all home games . In the preseason , the Jaguars typically wear teal at home since these games are played at night when there is very little advantage with the heat . 1995 -- 2001 ( edit ) Following the logo change , the redesigned uniforms featured an all - black helmet , white pants with teal , black , and gold stripes , and numbers with gold inner trim and black outer trim . The home jersey was teal with white numbers and the away jersey was white with teal numbers . Both jerseys had a black collar and no sleeve stripes . A prowling jaguar on each sleeve replaced the leaping jaguar going across both shoulders in the original design . The Jaguars in 1995 were the first NFL team to have 2 - tone borders on their numbers and lettering , and the first NFL team to show a complex logo ( the crawling Jaguar ) on the sleeve . Minor modifications were introduced to the Jaguars uniform during this time , most notably the font of the jersey numbers , replacing the original block numbers with a unique font . Two stripes were also added to the end of the sleeves below the prowling jaguar . 2002 -- 2008 ( edit ) During this period , the Jaguars made minor changes to their uniform , each time adding more black to the look . The team introduced a black alternate jersey in 2002 . During that same year , the team also introduced alternate black pants , worn with either the white or the teal jersey . After the black pants were introduced , the white pants would only be seen for the first few games of the year , presumably due to the heat . The black pants originally included two teal stripes down each side . The fan reaction to the extra black in the alternate jersey and alternate pants was positive , so in 2004 the Jaguars went through a formal uniform change , which teams are only allowed to do once every five years . These changes were mostly to the away look . Before 2004 , the white away jerseys had teal numbers with black and gold trim , but after , the white jerseys had black numbers with teal and gold trim . The black pants were also changed . The teal stripes were replaced with the Jaguar logo on each hip . Teal almost disappeared from the away uniform . The stripes on the white pants were altered in 2008 so that the center , thickest stripe was black , and its accents were teal . In the 2008 year , the gold in the uniforms noticeably shifted from a bright yellow metallic appearance to more beige . 2009 -- 2011 ( edit ) The Jaguars unveiled new uniforms for the 2009 season . Team owner Wayne Weaver reportedly wanted to `` clean up '' the look , feeling that the team had too many uniform styles . The new uniforms were introduced in a press conference on April 22 . At this press conference , Weaver elaborated that different people had taken different liberties with the Jaguars ' image over the years , singling out the ' All Black ' look which the team wore for every prime - time home game from 2003 to 2007 as a point of regret . He also said that the team would wear their teal jerseys at home even on hot days , saying that the practice of choosing to wear white on hot days had also diluted the team 's image . The new uniform reflected a simpler look overall . The collar and sleeve ends are the same color as the rest of the jersey . The crawling jaguar was removed . The numbers on the jerseys were changed to a simpler , block font with a thicker , single color border . After all of these subtractions , two features were added . The first was a `` JAGUARS '' wordmark underneath the NFL insignia on the chest . The second was two thin ' stripes ' of off - color fabric which were added to each midseam of the jersey , curling up to the neckline on the front and below the number on the back . The stripe on the home jersey is a white line next to a black line , matching the color of the numbers , and the stripe on the away jersey is a black line next to a teal line , again matching the numbers . The pants have similar stripes , both for the home and away uniform . The away uniforms were still black pants and numbers on a white jersey , but they now used teal as the only accent color as opposed to using gold in previous years . The Jaguars ' identity , in terms of colors , beginning in 2009 is exclusively teal and black , with gold only being used in the logo . The final change made to the Jaguars ' uniforms in 2009 was to the helmet . The new helmet and facemask were black just like the old ones , but when light hit the new ones a certain way , both the helmet and face mask sparkled with a shiny teal appearance . These were the first helmets in professional football which changed color with different angles of light . The logo and number decals also incorporated this effect . 2012 ( edit ) Prior to the 2012 season , new Jaguars owner Shahid Khan announced that the team would once again use a black jersey , something they had not done since 2008 . In September of that year , the team announced that it would use the black jersey and black pants as their primary home uniform . The teal jersey was resurrected as an alternate . 2013 -- present ( edit ) On April 23 , 2013 , the Jaguars unveiled new uniforms designed by Nike . The primary home jersey is black with white numerals outlined in teal and gold . The road jersey is white with teal numerals outlined in black and gold , marking the first time since 2003 that the team has used teal numbers on their road jersey . The alternate jersey is teal with black numerals outlined in white and gold . The team had never before used black numbers on their teal jersey . All three jerseys feature a contrasting stripe that bends around the neck , and semi-glossy patches on the shoulders meant to resemble claw marks . The team added their new shield logo onto a patch just above the player 's heart , meant to pay tribute to Jacksonville 's military heritage . The helmet , first of its kind in the NFL , features a glossy gold finish in the back that fades to matte black in the front , via a color gradient . The new uniform set includes black and white pants with the Jaguars logo on the hip and a tri-color pattern down the player 's leg . In November 2015 , as one of eight teams participating in Nike 's `` Color Rush '' initiative for four games of Thursday Night Football during the 2015 season , Jacksonville introduced an all - gold second alternative uniform . The set features a gold jersey with black sleeves and black trim , as well as all gold pants . The white front and back numbers are lined in the teal accent color and bordered by black . The TV numbers on the shoulders are white with black bordering . The set also features gold undershirts and socks . Mascot ( edit ) Main article : Jaxson de Ville See also : Curtis Dvorak Jaxson de Ville with American Idol season 6 finalist Phil Stacey . Since his introduction in 1996 , Jaxson de Ville has served as the Jaguars ' mascot . Jaxson entertains the crowd before and during games with his antics . The mascot has established a reputation for making dramatic entrances including bungee jumping off the stadium lights , sliding down a rope from the scoreboard and parachuting into the stadium . Jaxson 's antics got him into trouble in 1998 and stemmed the changing of the NFL 's mascot rules , and also caused him to calm down . However , Jaxson was still seen , by some , as a mascot that gets in the way during the game . After the October 22 , 2007 game against Indianapolis , Colts President Bill Polian complained to the NFL , and Jaxson was reprimanded again . Jaxson 's first appearance was on August 18 , 1996 and was played by Curtis Dvorak from his inception until his retirement in June 2015 . Jacksonville Roar ( edit ) Main article : Jacksonville Roar The Jacksonville Roar is the professional cheerleading squad of the Jaguars . The group was established in 1995 , the team 's inaugural year , and regularly performs choreographed routines during the team 's home contests . In addition to performing at games and pep rallies , members function as goodwill ambassadors of the team , participating in corporate , community , and charitable events in the Jacksonville metropolitan area where they sign autographs and pose for pictures . They also join NFL tours to entertain American servicemen and women around the world . Stadium ( edit ) Main article : TIAA Bank Field TIAA Bank Field , home of the Jacksonville Jaguars and the world 's largest scoreboards . TIAA Bank Field ( formerly known as Jacksonville Municipal Stadium , Alltel Stadium , and EverBank Field ) is located on the north bank of the St. Johns River , and has been the home of the Jaguars since the team 's first season in 1995 . The stadium has a capacity of 69,132 , with additional seating added during Florida -- Georgia Game and the Gator Bowl . The stadium served as the site of Super Bowl XXXIX in addition to four Jaguar playoff games including the 1999 AFC Championship Game . It also hosted the ACC Championship Game from 2005 -- 07 and the River City Showdown in 2007 and 2008 . From 1995 -- 97 and again from 2006 -- 09 , the stadium was named Jacksonville Municipal Stadium . From 1997 -- 2006 , the stadium was referred to as Alltel Stadium . The naming rights were purchased by EverBank prior to the 2010 season . Prior to the 2018 season the Jaguars announced the stadium would be renamed TIAA Bank Field . The stadium got a substantial upgrade in 2014 with the addition of new scoreboards , pools , cabana seating and premium seating that includes 180 field - level seats . The scoreboards are 60 feet high and 362 feet long . The new scoreboards at EverBank Field are now the world 's largest video boards . Two 25 feet by 12 feet pools were installed in the north and south end zones along with the cabana seating . The stadium upgrades were $63 million that owner Shahid Khan helped finance $20 million of the total cost . Rivals ( edit ) The Jacksonville Jaguars have three primary rivals : their divisional rivals ( Tennessee Titans , Indianapolis Colts , and Houston Texans ) . They have geographic rivalries with the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers . The Jaguars also have a rivalry with their 1995 expansion brethren , the Carolina Panthers . The Jaguars also have rivalries with other teams that arose from the AFC Central days , most notably with the Pittsburgh Steelers .

It is produced by Spin Master Entertainment in association with TVOntario and Nickelodeon , with animation provided by Guru Studio . In Canada , the series is primarily broadcast on TVOntario , which first ran previews of the show in August 2013 . The series first aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on August 12 , 2013 . The series focuses on a boy named Ryder who leads a pack of search and rescue dogs known as the PAW Patrol . They work together on missions to protect the shoreside community of Adventure Bay . Each dog has a specific set of skills based on a real - life profession , such as a firefighter and a police officer . They all reside in doghouses that can transform into customized vehicles when necessary . They are also equipped with backpacks called `` pup packs '' that contain tools that relate to the pups ' jobs . Spin Master has developed the show into a media franchise and released an ongoing line of toys based on it . PAW Patrol toy sales have generated millions of dollars in revenue for the corporation and increased Spin Master 's presence in the preschool toy market . The show , and its associated products , have received a variety of awards and nominations from associations such as the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences .

Episodes normally open with a scene depicting the dogs going about their everyday lives , often playing with dog toys or engaging in activities at the local playground . Ryder , a ten - year - old boy , is advised of a problem by receiving a call for help or by witnessing a situation himself . His most frequent caller is an accident - prone marine biologist named Cap'n Turbot , who knows much about Adventure Bay 's wildlife . Ryder always alerts the dogs via their blinking pet tags . The team members report to their base , the Lookout , and enter its elevator . Marshall typically arrives last causing a humorous mishap that makes the other dogs laugh as the elevator rises . When they reach the top floor , they arrange themselves in a line . Chase announces that the team is ready for action as Ryder tells the pups what has happened . He chooses several members of the team , normally two first responders , to help solve whatever problem has emerged . They ride a slide down to their vehicles and complete their mission . When they have finished , Ryder says his catchphrase : `` Whenever you 're in trouble , just yelp for help ! '' , and congratulates the pups .

Production ( edit ) According to Spin Master , the concept for PAW Patrol stemmed from a prototype for a transforming truck toy that Spin Master co-founder Ronnen Harary designed in 2010 . Later the same year , the company requested proposals for a television show based on the transforming toy , and accepted one from Bob the Builder creator Keith Chapman . Chapman sketched early designs of the PAW Patrol team under the working title Raffi & the Rescue Dogs . Spin Master hired toy designers to develop the format further ; after the concept was in place , they began designing merchandise . Chapman 's original pitch focused on the idea that the six PAW Patrol dogs were rescued by Ryder before joining the team . Scott Kraft , the show 's first writer , and Jamie Whitney , the show 's first director , decided to abandon the rescued dog theme in 2012 . The name of the series ' protagonist , Ryder , was changed multiple times during production ; he was originally called Raffi , Roddy , and Robbie before Spin Master settled on Ryder . Early models of the PAW Patrol pups According to a 2017 Spin Master interview , `` everything pup - related was debated endlessly : names , sizes , ages , breeds . '' The pups ' designs underwent major changes after Chapman 's pitch ; they were originally very realistic , with unique fur and textures based on their breeds , but they were later simplified and made more cartoonish . The visual appearance of Cap'n Turbot , mainly his distinctive bead eyes and large nose , was based on the design of Chapman 's Bob the Builder character . Ryder 's hairstyle was based on that of Ronnen Harary . In January 2012 , Spin Master began approaching television broadcasters . The company negotiated a broadcast partnership with Nickelodeon , and the network first announced that it had picked up PAW Patrol at the 2013 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas , Nevada . The series became Spin Master 's first solely - owned intellectual property ( IP ) once it was released in August 2013 . Since it began production , the show 's animation has been provided by Guru Studio . In a 2016 interview with Maclean 's Magazine , Guru president Frank Falcone stated that his studio 's animators were originally suspicious of the show 's `` toyetic '' concept . The series ' rock - inspired original score was composed by the Ontario - based group Voodoo Highway Music & Post . The opening theme song , and the ending song used in each episode include vocals performed by Scott Simons . With each season of the show , new supporting characters and themes are introduced in its episodes . In a May 2016 interview for the Toronto Star , Spin Master president Ben Gadbois stated that his company would continue to introduce additional characters and concepts to increase the franchise 's longevity and to expand upon the success of tie - in merchandise . In August of the same year , Ronnen Harary explained that these changes were intended to keep the show 's content `` fresh '' and `` relevant '' . Release ( edit ) Broadcast ( edit ) The series has been sold to TV networks in over 160 countries . In Canada , the series is primarily shown on TVOntario during the TVOKids block . Knowledge Network , Télé - Québec and City Saskatchewan also air reruns of the show in different Canadian provinces . In the United States , the series is aired on Nickelodeon 's Nick Jr. block with reruns on the Nick Jr. channel . As required for Canadian programs aired on federally - funded networks , PAW Patrol has been dubbed in French for Quebec broadcasts and for its broadcast in France on TF1 . Canal Panda airs a European Portuguese dub. and it aired on MBC3 in the Middle East . A British English dub , which uses the same scripts as the Canadian version with minor changes , is shown on Channel 5 and Nick Jr . UK . Anione , JEI TV , and KBS have all broadcast the Korean - dubbed version . The show has been aired in the Icelandic language on Iceland 's public broadcaster RÚV since 2015 . The first two seasons were shown in Finnish on Yle TV2 . The video on demand platform Le.com obtained broadcast rights for a Mandarin Chinese - dubbed version of PAW Patrol in April 2016 . it will air on MiniMini+ in Poland , e-Junior in the United Arab Emirates , and Clan TVE in Spain .

It will be released for PlayStation 4 , Xbox One , Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows . Reception ( edit ) Critical reception ( edit ) Common Sense Media reviewer Emily Ashby gave the show a four - star rating , stating that `` perhaps the show 's best attribute is how it demonstrates the value of thoughtful problem - solving '' . Randy Miller of DVD Talk recommended the show , calling it `` packed with all the harmless action and cornball jokes that kids ... ca n't help but snicker at '' . Stuff.co.nz reviewer Pattie Pegler also wrote favourably of the series , but felt that some of the characters `` seem rather arbitrary , like Rocky the Recycling Pup '' . The About Group 's Carey Bryson gave the series a mixed review , criticizing its `` formulaic '' nature but affirming that the `` show is not without funny moments '' . A research study , commissioned by Sky in March 2016 , reported that 16 per cent of surveyed British and Irish children named PAW Patrol as their favourite program . Criticism has been directed toward the show 's unequal gender representation because the team of dogs is primarily male and includes only two females . Cat Conway of Dan Abrams ' The Mary Sue rhetorically asked , `` the police pup , firefighting pup , builder pup , sea - rescue pup , and whatever the hell Rocky does are all coded male , because of course you could n't have a female police dog , could you ? '' Brandy King of the Center on Media and Child Health `` found the gender imbalance immediately noticeable '' while watching the program . Today 's Parent noted in April 2015 that PAW Patrol images appeared frequently on Twitter with the hashtag `` # IncludeTheGirls '' . Ratings ( edit ) PAW Patrol has received consistently high ratings on Nickelodeon . Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman cited the series as a source of Nickelodeon 's 2014 ratings growth . It ranked as the highest - rated , preschool TV program in the United States in November 2013 and held that position throughout the spring 2014 season . The spot was briefly overtaken by Team Umizoomi reruns in July 2016 , but PAW Patrol reclaimed the title later the same month . Bloomberg L.P. described PAW Patrol as part of a `` creative resurgence '' that increased the Nick Jr. channel 's viewership in 2016 . At Nickelodeon 's 2016 upfront presentation for future advertisers , Cyma Zarghami named PAW Patrol one of two preschool shows to have significantly helped boost ratings for the network ( the other being Blaze and the Monster Machines ) . In March 2015 , two back - to - back premieres of the show ranked among the top twenty weekday showings ( among total viewers ) in Australia . In May 2015 , it was reported that PAW Patrol broadcasts on TF1 had been viewed by 45 per cent of households in France with preschool - aged children . Cultural impact ( edit ) The show has received recognition from public figures and celebrities . Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his children are fans of the show ; Trudeau mentioned the characters by name in a 2017 speech . After performing at the Super Bowl LII halftime show , Justin Timberlake filmed a segment for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in which he named Chase as his favourite PAW Patrol character and held a Chase plush toy . During his opening monologue for the 90th Academy Awards , host Jimmy Kimmel joked that a young nominee was missing PAW Patrol to attend the ceremony . Accolades ( edit ) In 2014 , the series ' theme song was nominated for Outstanding Original Song -- Main Title and Promo in the 41st Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards . In 2016 , the season two episode `` Pups Save a Mer - Pup '' was nominated for Best Animated Television / Broadcast Production for Preschool Children in the 43rd Annie Awards . As of 2018 , PAW Patrol has received seven Canadian Screen Award nominations with six wins .

Bastien Won Best Sound in an Animated Program or Series Spin Master Won Related Media ( edit ) Film ( edit ) In November 2017 , Ronnen Harary confirmed that Spin Master is `` currently considering whether to extend the PAW Patrol franchise into feature films at some point in the next 12 to 24 months . '' Animation tests were conducted in 2017 to measure how the characters `` would translate onto the big screen '' and the company is currently in the process of developing a film script . Merchandise ( edit ) On May 18 , 2014 , Spin Master introduced a toy line based on the television series at Toys `` R '' Us locations across Canada . The line was not distributed to international markets until June 22 of the same year . Dion Vlachos , a representative from Nickelodeon , was in charge of the U.S. product launch . PAW Patrol has since become one of Spin Master 's most profitable brands . Analysts for the National Bank of Canada reported that toys and games based on the show accounted for approximately $245 million U.S. ( or 25 per cent ) of Spin Master 's gross product sales for 2015 . Spin Master chairman Anton Rabie noted in August 2016 that the `` continuing strength '' of PAW Patrol toys , in addition to new acquisitions and movie licenses , made up 40.5 per cent of the firm 's second quarter revenue . Marketing manager Emma Eden said that the toys were responsible for increasing the company 's presence in the preschool market . Throughout 2016 , Spin Master 's revenue grew more in this market than in any other toy category . PAW Patrol has been cited as the sole reason for this . The NPD Group named PAW Patrol the top new toy brand of 2015 in the United Kingdom . The group also reported that it was the best - selling preschool license in France in the first quarter of 2015 . Dave Brandon , the chief executive officer of Toys `` R '' Us , listed the PAW Patroller vehicle toy as one of the 2015 holiday season 's `` hottest '' items . Argos the U.K. catalogue retailer included the PAW Patrol Air Patroller vehicle on its list of the toys it predicts will be bestsellers during the Christmas 2016 season . Live events ( edit ) In April 2016 , a stage show titled PAW Patrol Live : Race to the Rescue was announced . The show features the PAW Patrol characters competing in a race . It toured Canada , the United States , Mexico , Australia and the Philippines . A sequel show , titled PAW Patrol Live : The Great Pirate Adventure , was announced in June 2017 . It follows the PAW Patrol as they rescue Cap'n Turbot from a cavern , and it will tour the same countries as its predecessor . The shows are produced by VStar Entertainment Group , which is best known for producing the popular Sesame Street Live touring shows for 37 years . Mascots based on the PAW Patrol characters have appeared at events across Canada , the United States , and the United Kingdom . They joined an `` Etch A Sketch Day '' celebration at Spin Master 's office in Toronto on July 26 , 2016 . The characters , along with replicas of the Lookout tower from the program , were included as part of the Nick Jr . Play Date Tour in autumn 2015 . Marshall and Chase made appearances at shopping malls throughout Nottingham , Suffolk , and Somerset in the U.K. in the summer of 2016 . Multiple meet - and - greet events attracted far more attendees than expected , with some reaching over 5,000 visitors . They appeared for the first time in Northern Ireland at Glenarm Castle on July 13 , 2016 . They are scheduled to appear regularly in a Nickelodeon - themed area of the Thurrock 's Lakeside Shopping Centre located on the outskirts of London , England . Unauthorized productions and events featuring the show 's characters have attracted the attention of the show 's distributor . In February 2016 , several Greene King pubs in the U.K. scheduled breakfast events with costumed characters modelled after the pups . Nickelodeon forced the chain to stop every event by threatening a lawsuit if they went ahead . There was some consumer backlash as a result , but the events were not held .

Founded on June 24 , 1797 by Fermín Lasuén of the Franciscan order , the mission was the fifteenth of the Spanish missions established in present - day California . Named for Saint John the Baptist , the mission is the namesake of the city of San Juan Bautista . Barracks for the soldiers , a nunnery , the Jose Castro House , and other buildings were constructed around a large grassy plaza in front of the church and can be seen today in their original form . The Ohlone , the original residents of the valley , were brought to live at the mission and baptized , followed by Yokuts from the Central Valley . Mission San Juan Bautista has served mass daily since 1797 , and today functions as a parish church of the Diocese of Monterey .

The steeple ( far right ) , constructed after the mission was secularized , was subsequently destroyed in a fire . Aerial view of Mission San Juan Bautista Following its creation in 1797 , San Juan 's population grew quickly . By 1803 , there were 1,036 Native Americans living at the mission . Ranching and farming activity had moved apace , with 1,036 cattle , 4,600 sheep , 22 swine , 540 horses and 8 mules counted that year . At the same time , the harvest of wheat , barley and corn was estimated at 2,018 fanegas , each of about 220 pounds . Father Pedro Estévan Tápis ( who had a special talent for music ) joined Father Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta , at Mission San Juan Bautista in 1815 to teach singing to the Indians . He employed a system of notation developed in Spain that uses varied colors or textures for polyphonic music , usually ( from bottom to top ) solid black , solid red , black outline ( sometimes solid yellow ) and red outline ( or black outline when yellow was used ) . His choir of Native American boys performed for many visitors , earning the San Juan Bautista Mission the nickname `` the Mission of Music . '' Two of his handwritten choir books are preserved at the San Juan Bautista Museum . When Father Tapis died in 1825 he was buried on the mission grounds . The town of San Juan Bautista , which grew up around the mission , expanded rapidly during the California Gold Rush and continues to be a thriving community today . The mission is situated adjacent to the San Andreas Fault , and has suffered damage from numerous earthquakes , such as those of 1800 and 1906 . However , the mission was never entirely destroyed at once . It was restored initially in 1884 , and then again in 1949 with funding from the Hearst Foundation . The three - bell campanario , or `` bell wall , '' located by the church entrance , was fully restored in 2010 . An unpaved stretch of the original El Camino Real , just east of the mission , lies on a fault scarp . Although initially secularized in 1835 , the church was reconsecrated by the Roman Catholic Church in 1859 , and continues to serve as a parish of the Diocese of Monterey . The mission includes a cemetery , with the remains of over 4,000 Native American converts and Europeans buried there . The mission and its grounds were featured prominently in the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock film Vertigo . Associate producer Herbert Coleman 's daughter Judy Lanini suggested the mission to Hitchcock as a filming location . A steeple , added sometime after the mission 's original construction and secularization , had been demolished following a fire , so Hitchcock added a bell tower using scale models , matte paintings , and trick photography at the Paramount studio in Los Angeles . The tower does not resemble the original steeple . The tower 's staircase was assembled inside a studio .

7867153389855320443 | I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud | I wandered lonely as a Cloud - wikipedia I wandered lonely as a Cloud Jump to : navigation , search I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth A hand - written manuscript of the poem ( 1802 ) . British Library Add . MS 47864 I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills , When all at once I saw a crowd , A host , of golden daffodils ; Beside the lake , beneath the trees , Fluttering and dancing in the breeze . Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way , They stretched in never - ending line Along the margin of a bay : Ten thousand saw I at a glance , Tossing their heads in sprightly dance . The waves beside them danced ; but they Out - did the sparkling waves in glee : A poet could not but be gay , In such a jocund company : I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought : For oft , when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood , They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude ; And then my heart with pleasure fills , And dances with the daffodils . . William Wordsworth ( 1815 ) `` I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud '' ( also commonly known as `` Daffodils '' ) is a lyric poem by William Wordsworth . It is Wordsworth 's most famous work . The poem was inspired by an event on 15 April 1802 , in which Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy came across a `` long belt '' of daffodils . Written some time between 1804 and 1807 ( in 1804 by Wordsworth 's own account ) , it was first published in 1807 in Poems in Two Volumes , and a revised version was published in 1815 . In a poll conducted in 1995 by the BBC Radio 4 Bookworm programme to determine the nation 's favourite poems , I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud came fifth . Often anthologised , the poem is commonly seen as a classic of English romantic poetry , although Poems in Two Volumes , in which it first appeared , was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth 's contemporaries . Contents ( hide ) 1 Background 2 Revised version 3 Reception 3.1 Contemporary 3.2 Modern usage 3.2. 1 Daffodil tourism 3.2. 1.1 Anniversaries 3.2. 2 In popular culture 4 References 5 Notes 6 Bibliography 7 External links Background ( edit ) The inspiration for the poem came from a walk Wordsworth took with his sister Dorothy around Glencoyne Bay , Ullswater , in the Lake District . He would draw on this to compose `` I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud '' in 1804 , inspired by Dorothy 's journal entry describing the walk : Ullswater in the English Lake District . Ullswater from Gobarrow Park , J.M.W. Turner , watercolor , 1819 . When we were in the woods beyond Gowbarrow park we saw a few daffodils close to the water side , we fancied that the lake had floated the seed ashore and that the little colony had so sprung up -- But as we went along there were more and yet more and at last under the boughs of the trees , we saw that there was a long belt of them along the shore , about the breadth of a country turnpike road . I never saw daffodils so beautiful they grew among the mossy stones about and about them , some rested their heads upon these stones as on a pillow for weariness and the rest tossed and reeled and danced and seemed as if they verily laughed with the wind that blew upon them over the Lake , they looked so gay ever glancing ever changing . This wind blew directly over the lake to them . There was here and there a little knot and a few stragglers a few yards higher up but they were so few as not to disturb the simplicity and unity and life of that one busy highway -- We rested again and again . The Bays were stormy and we heard the waves at different distances and in the middle of the water like the Sea . -- Dorothy Wordsworth , The Grasmere Journal Thursday , 15 April 1802 At the time he wrote the poem , Wordsworth was living with his wife , Mary Hutchinson , and sister Dorothy at Town End , in Grasmere in England 's Lake District . Mary contributed what Wordsworth later said were the two best lines in the poem , recalling the `` tranquil restoration '' of Tintern Abbey , They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude Wordsworth was aware of the appropriateness of the idea of daffodils which `` flash upon that inward eye '' because in his 1815 version he added a note commenting on the `` flash '' as an `` ocular spectrum '' . Coleridge in Biographia Literaria of 1817 , while he acknowledging the concept of `` visual spectrum '' as being `` well known '' , described Wordsworth 's ( and Mary 's ) lines , amongst others , as `` mental bombast '' . Fred Blick , has shown that the idea of flashing flowers was derived from the `` Elizabeth Linnaeus Phenomenon '' , so - called because of the discovery of flashing flowers by Elizabeth Linnaeus in 1762 . The phenomenon was reported upon in 1789 and 1794 by Erasmus Darwin , whose work Wordsworth certainly read . The entire household thus contributed to the poem . Nevertheless , Wordsworth 's biographer Mary Moorman , notes that Dorothy was excluded from the poem , even though she had seen the daffodils together with Wordsworth . The poem itself was placed in a section of Poems in Two Volumes entitled Moods of my Mind in which he grouped together his most deeply felt lyrics . Others included To a Butterfly , a childhood recollection of chasing butterflies with Dorothy , and The Sparrow 's Nest , in which he says of Dorothy `` She gave me eyes , she gave me ears '' . The earlier Lyrical Ballads , a collection of poems by both himself and Samuel Taylor Coleridge , had been first published in 1798 and had started the romantic movement in England . It had brought Wordsworth and the other Lake poets into the poetic limelight . Wordsworth had published nothing new since the 1800 edition of Lyrical Ballads , and a new publication was eagerly awaited . Wordsworth had , however , gained some financial security by the 1805 publication of the fourth edition of Lyrical Ballads ; it was the first from which he enjoyed the profits of copyright ownership . He decided to turn away from the long poem he was working on ( The Recluse ) and devote more attention to publishing Poems in Two Volumes , in which `` I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud '' first appeared . Revised version ( edit ) Narcissus pseudonarcissus , the `` daffodil '' native to the Lake District Wordsworth revised the poem in 1815 . He replaced `` dancing '' with `` golden '' ; `` along '' with `` beside '' ; and `` ten thousand '' with `` fluttering and '' . He then added a stanza between the first and second , and changed `` laughing '' to `` jocund '' . The last stanza was left untouched . The plot of the poem is simple . In the 1815 revision , Wordsworth described it as `` rather an elementary feeling and simple impression ( approaching to the nature of an ocular spectrum ) upon the imaginative faculty , rather than an exertion of it ... '' I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills , When all at once I saw a crowd , A host of golden daffodils ; Beside the lake , beneath the trees , Fluttering and dancing in the breeze . Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way , They stretched in never - ending line along the margin of a bay : Ten thousand saw I at a glance , tossing their heads in sprightly dance . The waves beside them danced ; but they Out - did the sparkling waves in glee : A poet could not but be gay , in such a jocund company : I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought what wealth the show to me had brought : For oft , when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood , They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude ; And then my heart with pleasure fills , And dances with the daffodils . Pamela Woof notes `` The permanence of stars as compared with flowers emphasises the permanence of memory for the poet . '' Andrew Motion notes that the final verse replicates in the minds of its readers the very experience it describes . Reception ( edit ) Contemporary ( edit ) The title page of Poems in Two Volumes Poems in Two Volumes was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth 's contemporaries , including Lord Byron , whom Wordsworth came to despise . Byron said of the volume , in one of its first reviews , `` Mr. W ( ordsworth ) ceases to please , ... clothing ( his ideas ) in language not simple , but puerile '' . Wordsworth himself wrote ahead to soften the thoughts of The Critical Review , hoping his friend Francis Wrangham would push for a softer approach . He succeeded in preventing a known enemy from writing the review , but it did n't help ; as Wordsworth himself said , it was a case of `` Out of the frying pan , into the fire '' . Of any positives within Poems in Two Volumes , the perceived masculinity in The Happy Warrior , written on the death of Nelson and unlikely to be the subject of attack , was one such . Poems like `` I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud '' could not have been further from it . Wordsworth took the reviews stoically . Even Wordsworth 's close friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge said ( referring especially to the `` child - philosopher '' stanzas VII and VIII of Intimations of Immortality ) that the poems contained `` mental bombast '' . Two years later , however , many were more positive about the collection . Samuel Rogers said that he had `` dwelt particularly on the beautiful idea of the ' Dancing Daffodils ' '' , and this was echoed by Henry Crabb Robinson . Critics were rebutted by public opinion , and the work gained in popularity and recognition , as did Wordsworth . Poems in Two Volumes was savagely reviewed by Francis Jeffrey in the Edinburgh Review ( without , however , singling out `` I wandered lonely as a Cloud '' ) , but the Review was well known for its dislike of the Lake poets . As Sir Walter Scott put it at the time of the poem 's publication , `` Wordsworth is harshly treated in the Edinburgh Review , but Jeffrey gives ... as much praise as he usually does '' , and indeed Jeffrey praised the sonnets . Upon the author 's death in 1850 , the Westminster Review called `` I wandered lonely as a Cloud '' `` very exquisite '' . Modern usage ( edit ) The poem is presented and taught in many schools in the English - speaking world : these include the 7th grade of most schools of the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education ( ICSE ) , India ; the English Literature GCSE course in some examination boards in England , Wales , and Northern Ireland ; and in the current Higher School Certificate syllabus topic , Inner Journeys , New South Wales , Australia . It is also frequently used as a part of the Junior Certificate English Course in Ireland as part of the Poetry Section . In The Middle Passage , V.S. Naipaul refers to a campaign in Trinidad against the use of the poem as a set text because daffodils do not grow in the tropics . Because it is one of the best known poems in the English language , it has frequently been the subject of parody and satire . The English Prog Rock band Genesis parodies the poem in the opening lyrics to the song `` The Colony of Slippermen '' , from their 1974 album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway . It was the subject of a 1985 Heineken beer TV advertisement , which depicts a poet having difficulties with his opening lines , only able to come up with I walked about a bit on my own or I strolled around without anyone else until downing a Heineken and reaching the immortal `` I wandered lonely as a Cloud '' ( because `` Heineken refreshes the poets other beers ca n't reach '' ) . The assertion that Wordsworth originally hit on `` I wandered lonely as a cow '' until Dorothy told him `` William , you ca n't put that '' occasionally finds its way into print . Daffodil Tourism ( edit ) The daffodils Wordsworth saw would have been wild daffodils . However , the National Gardens Scheme runs a Daffodil Day every year , allowing visitors to view daffodils in Cumbrian gardens including Dora 's Field , which was planted by Wordsworth . In 2013 the event was held in March , when unusually cold weather meant that relatively few of the plants were in flower . April , the month that Wordsworth saw the daffodils at Ullswater , is usually a good time to view them , although the Lake District climate has changed since the poem was written . Anniversaries ( edit ) In 2004 , in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the writing of the poem , it was also read aloud by 150,000 British schoolchildren , aimed both at improving recognition of poetry , and in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care . In 2007 , Cumbria Tourism released a rap version of the poem , featuring MC Nuts , a Lake District Red squirrel , in an attempt to capture the `` YouTube generation '' and attract tourists to the Lake District . Published on the two - hundredth anniversary of the original , it attracted wide media attention . It was welcomed by the Wordsworth Trust , but attracted the disapproval of some commentators . In 2015 events marking the 200th anniversary of the publication of the revised version were celebrated at Rydal Mount . In popular culture ( edit ) In the 2013 musical Big Fish ( musical ) , composed by Andrew Lippa , some lines from the poem are used in the song `` Daffodils , '' which concludes the first act . Lippa mentioned this in a video created by Broadway.com in the same year . References ( edit ) Jump up ^ Wordsworth , William . `` I wandered lonely as a cloud '' . British Library Images Online .

Though not actually mentally ill , McMurphy hopes to avoid hard labor and serve the rest of his sentence in a relaxed environment . Upon arriving at the hospital , he finds the ward run by the steely , strict Nurse Ratched , who subtly suppresses the actions of her patients through a passive - aggressive routine , intimidating the patients . The other patients include anxious , stuttering Billy Bibbit ; Charlie Cheswick , who is prone to childish tantrums ; delusional Martini ; the well - educated , paranoid Dale Harding ; belligerent Max Taber ; epileptic Jim Sefelt ; and `` Chief '' Bromden , a tall Native American believed to be deaf and mute . Ratched soon sees McMurphy 's lively , rebellious presence to be a threat to her authority , confiscating the patients ' cigarettes and rationing them . During his time in the ward , McMurphy gets into a battle of wits with Ratched . He steals a hospital bus , escaping with several patients to go on a fishing trip , encouraging his friends to become more self - confident . McMurphy learns his sentence may become indefinite , and he makes plans to escape , exhorting Chief to throw a hydrotherapy cart through a window . He , Chief , and Cheswick get into a fight with the orderlies after the latter becomes agitated over his stolen cigarettes . Ratched sends them to the `` shock shop , '' and McMurphy discovers Chief can actually speak , feigning being deaf and mute to avoid engaging with anyone . After being subjected to electroconvulsive therapy , McMurphy returns to the ward pretending to have brain damage , but reveals the treatment has charged him up even more . McMurphy and Chief make plans to escape , but decide to throw a secret Christmas party for their friends after Ratched leaves for the night . McMurphy sneaks two women , Candy and Rose , into the ward , and bribes the night guard . After a night of partying , McMurphy and Chief prepare to escape , inviting Billy to come with them . He refuses , not ready to leave the hospital . McMurphy instead convinces him to have sex with Candy . Ratched arrives in the morning to find the ward in disarray and most of the patients passed out drunk . She discovers Billy and Candy together , the former now free of his stutter , until Ratched threatens to inform his mother about his escapade . Billy is overwhelmed with fear and locks himself in the doctor 's office and commits suicide . The enraged McMurphy chokes Ratched , before being knocked out by an orderly . Ratched comes back with a neck brace and a scratchy voice . Rumors spread that McMurphy escaped , rather than be taken `` upstairs '' . Later that night , Chief sees McMurphy being returned to his bed . He discovers McMurphy has lobotomy scars on his forehead , and smothers his friend with a pillow . Chief finally throws the hydrotherapy cart through the window and escapes into the night , cheered on by Taber . Cast ( edit ) Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched Will Sampson as `` Chief '' Bromden William Redfield as Dale Harding Brad Dourif as Billy Bibbit Sydney Lassick as Charlie Cheswick Christopher Lloyd as Max Taber Danny DeVito as Martini Dean Brooks as Dr. John Spivey William Duell as Jim Sefelt Vincent Schiavelli as Bruce Frederickson Michael Berryman as Ellis Nathan George as Attendant Washington Marya Small as Candy Scatman Crothers as Orderly Turkle Louisa Moritz as Rose Peter Brocco as Col. Matterson Production ( edit ) Actor Kirk Douglas -- who had originated the role of McMurphy in the 1963 -- 1964 Broadway stage version of the Ken Kesey novel -- had purchased the film rights to the story , and tried for a decade to bring it to the big screen , but was unable to find a studio willing to make it with him . Eventually , he gave the rights to his son Michael Douglas , who succeeded in getting the film produced -- but the elder Douglas , by then nearly 60 , was considered too old for the McMurphy role , which ultimately went to 38 - year - old Jack Nicholson . Douglas brought in Saul Zaentz as co-producer . The film 's first screenwriter , Lawrence Hauben , introduced Douglas to the work of Miloš Forman , whose 1967 Czechoslovak film The Firemen 's Ball had the sort of qualities they were looking for . Forman flew to California and went through the script page by page and outlined what he would do , in contrast with other directors who had been approached who were less than forthcoming . Forman wrote in 2012 : `` To me ( the story ) was not just literature but real life , the life I lived in Czechoslovakia from my birth in 1932 until 1968 . The Communist Party was my Nurse Ratched , telling me what I could and could not do ; what I was or was not allowed to say ; where I was and was not allowed to go ; even who I was and was not . '' Saul Zaentz , a voracious reader , felt an affinity with Kesey , and so after Hauben 's first attempt he asked Kesey to write the screenplay , and promised him a piece of the action , but it did n't work out and ended in a financial dispute . Hal Ashby , who had been an early consideration for director , suggested Jack Nicholson for the role of McMurphy . Production was delayed for about six months because of Nicholson 's schedule . However , Douglas later felt that this ended up as a blessing , as it gave more time to get the ensemble right . Casting ( edit ) Danny DeVito , who was Douglas 's oldest friend , was the first to be cast as he had played Martini , one of the patients , in the 1971 off - Broadway production . Douglas found Will Sampson , who played Chief Bromden , through a used car dealer that Douglas was sitting next to on an aircraft . Douglas had told him that they were looking for a big guy to play the chief . He sold a lot of cars to Native Americans and six months later called Douglas to say : `` the biggest sonofabitch Indian came in the other day ! '' Miloš Forman had considered Shelley Duvall for the role of Candy . While screening Thieves Like Us ( 1974 ) to see if she was right for the role , he became interested in Louise Fletcher , who had a supporting role , for the role of Nurse Ratched . A mutual acquaintance , the casting director Fred Roos , had already mentioned her name as a possibility . Even so it took four or five meetings , over a year , ( during which the role was offered to other actresses ) for Fletcher to secure the role of Nurse Ratched . Her final audition was late in 1974 , with Forman , Zaentz and Douglas . The day after Christmas , her agent called to say she was expected at the Oregon State Hospital in Salem on 4 January to begin rehearsals . Rehearsals ( edit ) Prior to commencement of filming , a week of rehearsals started on 4 January 1975 in Oregon , during which the actors watched the patients in their daily routine and at group therapy . Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher also witnessed electroconvulsive therapy on a patient . Filming ( edit ) Other than Nicholson , the rest of the cast were working for scale , or a little above that . Fletcher worked for 11 weeks , and made $10,000 before taxes . Filming began in January 1975 , and concluded approximately three months later , and was shot on location in Salem , Oregon , and the surrounding area , as well as on the Oregon coast . The producers decided to shoot the film in the Oregon State Hospital , an actual mental hospital , as this was also the setting of the novel . The hospital 's director , Dean Brooks , was supportive of the filming and eventually ended up playing the character of Dr. John Spivey in the film . Brooks identified a patient for each of the actors to shadow , and some of the cast even slept on the wards at night . He also wanted to incorporate his patients into the crew , to which the producers agreed . Douglas recalls that it was n't until later that he found out that many of them were criminally insane . As Forman did n't allow the actors to see the day 's filming , this led to the cast losing confidence in him , while Nicholson also began to wonder about his performance . Douglas convinced Forman to show Nicholson something , which he did , and restored the actor 's confidence . Haskell Wexler was fired as cinematographer and replaced by Bill Butler . Wexler believed his dismissal was due to his concurrent work on the documentary Underground , in which the radical terrorist group The Weather Underground were being interviewed while hiding from the law . However , Miloš Forman said he had terminated Wexler over artistic differences . Both Wexler and Butler received Academy Award nominations for Best Cinematography for One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest , though Wexler said there was `` only about a minute or two minutes in that film I did n't shoot . '' According to Butler , Jack Nicholson refused to speak to Forman : `` ... ( Jack ) never talked to Miloš at all , he only talked to me . '' Filming went over the initial budget of $2 m and over-schedule , but Saul Zaentz , who was personally financing the movie , was able to fund this by borrowing against his company , Fantasy Records . The movie cost in total $4.4 m to make . Reception ( edit ) The film was met with overwhelming critical acclaim ; Roger Ebert said `` Miloš Forman 's One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest is a film so good in so many of its parts that there 's a temptation to forgive it when it goes wrong . But it does go wrong , insisting on making larger points than its story really should carry , so that at the end , the human qualities of the characters get lost in the significance of it all . And yet there are those moments of brilliance . '' Ebert would later put the film on his `` Great Movies '' list . A.D. Murphy of Variety wrote a mixed review as well , as did Vincent Canby : Writing in The New York Times , Canby called the film `` a comedy that ca n't quite support its tragic conclusion , which is too schematic to be honestly moving , but it is acted with such a sense of life that one responds to its demonstration of humanity if not to its programmed metaphors '' . The film opens with original music by composer Jack Nitzsche , featuring an eerie bowed saw ( performed by Robert Armstrong ) and wine glasses . Commenting on the score , reviewer Steven McDonald has said , `` The edgy nature of the film extends into the score , giving it a profoundly disturbing feel at times -- even when it appears to be relatively normal . The music has a tendency to always be a little off - kilter , and from time to time it tilts completely over into a strange little world of its own ... '' The film went on to win the `` Big Five '' Academy Awards at the 48th Oscar ceremony . These include the Best Actor for Jack Nicholson , Best Actress for Louise Fletcher , Best Direction for Forman , Best Picture , and Best Adapted Screenplay for Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman . The film currently has a 95 % `` Certified Fresh '' rating at Rotten Tomatoes , with an average rating of 9 / 10 . Its consensus states : `` The onscreen battle between Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher serves as a personal microcosm of the culture wars of the 1970s - and testament to the director 's vision that the film retains its power more than three decades later . '' One Flew Over the Cuckoo 's Nest is considered to be one of the greatest American films . Ken Kesey participated in the early stages of script development , but withdrew after creative differences with the producers over casting and narrative point of view ; ultimately he filed suit against the production and won a settlement . Kesey himself claimed never to have seen the movie , but said he disliked what he knew of it , a fact confirmed by Chuck Palahniuk who wrote , `` The first time I heard this story , it was through the movie starring Jack Nicholson . A movie that Kesey once told me he disliked . '' In 1993 , this film was deemed `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry .

-4010382138129022880 | My Old Kentucky Home | My Old Kentucky Home - wikipedia My Old Kentucky Home This article is about the song . For the Kentucky site , see My Old Kentucky Home State Park . For other uses , see My Old Kentucky Home ( disambiguation ) . `` My Old Kentucky Home '' Sheet music , 10th edition , 1892 ( ? ) Song Written possibly 1852 Published January 1853 Genre Parlor song Songwriter ( s ) Stephen Foster `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' is an anti-slavery ballad originally written by Stephen Foster , ( probably ) composed in 1852 . It was published in January 1853 by Firth , Pond , & Co. of New York . Foster likely composed the song after having been inspired by the narrative of popular anti-slavery novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe 's Uncle Tom 's Cabin , while likely referencing imagery witnessed on his visits to the Bardstown , Kentucky farm called Federal Hill . In Foster 's sketchbook , the song was originally entitled `` Poor Uncle Tom , Good - Night ! '' , but was altered by Foster as `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' Frederick Douglass , an abolitionist , wrote in his 1855 autobiography My Bondage and My Freedom that the song `` awakens sympathies for the slave , in which antislavery principles take root , grow , and flourish '' . Contents 1 Original lyric synopsis 2 Creation and career impact 3 Public sentiment 4 Kentucky state song 5 Modern impact 6 Recording history 7 Adaptations 8 Appearance in media 9 Lyrics by Stephen Foster 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Original lyric synopsis ( edit ) In its entirety , the song contains three verses and one chorus repeated after each verse . The first verse of `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' describes an enslaved servant 's description of the natural beauty and his feelings associated with the Kentucky landscape . The line that begins `` By'n by Hard Times , comes a knocking at the door , Then my old Kentucky home , good - night ! '' acknowledges that the farm on which the subject is enslaved is experiencing financial hardship , and the verse suggests that the narrator knows he will leave the Kentucky farm as a result of being sold to settle the debt . The chorus of the song describes a presumptive longing by the narrator , and probably his wife or other love interest , to return to the beauty of the Kentucky landscape : `` Weep no - more my lady , O weep no more today . For we 'll sing one song for my old Kentucky home , for my old Kentucky home far - away . '' In the second verse , the enslaved servant describes an environment on the Kentucky farm absent of his peers . The narrator recalls a variety of remembrances of his peers and the places they formerly occupied , `` They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon , On the bench by the old cabin door . '' In the third verse , the narrator outlines that the work of an enslaved servant is unavoidable and exhausting regardless of location , `` The head must bow and the back will have to bend , Wherever the darkies may go '' . The narrator acknowledges in the third line of the third verse that they have been sold to a sugar plantation and that they will likely perish as a result . In the fifth line of the third verse , the narrator observes that their departure from the Kentucky farm will occur in a matter of days and again refrains that an enslaved servant 's work is highly strenuous , `` A few more days for to tote the weary load , no matter , ' twill never be light '' . The song ends with the chorus which contextually applies to all three verses . Foster 's composition , both in each verse and in its entirety , focuses on the unfair treatment of slaves and serves to bring awareness to its listeners of the hardships endured by slaves . The composition also embodies a common theme in Foster 's work of his own childhood experiences of losing his home as a result of financial hardships . Creation and career impact ( edit ) The creation of the song `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' established a decisive moment within Stephen Foster 's career in regard to his personal beliefs on the institution of slavery and is an example of the common theme of the loss of home , which is prevalent throughout Foster 's work . In March 1852 , Harriet Beecher Stowe 's abolitionist novel Uncle Tom 's Cabin appeared in bookstores in Foster 's hometown of Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . The novel , written about the plight of an enslaved servant in Kentucky , had a profound effect on Foster 's future song - writing by altering the tone of his music to sympathize the position of the enslaved servant . In his notebook , Foster penned the lyrics inspired by Stowe 's novel , initially named `` Poor Old Uncle Tom , Good - Night ! '' Foster ultimately removed references to Stowe 's book , renaming the work , `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' Foster 's song includes distinct Kentucky imagery . Foster 's brother Morrison indicated in correspondence that Foster was an `` occasional visitor '' to Federal Hill , owned by Foster 's relations , the Rowan family of Bardstown , Kentucky . The Foster and Rowan family 's close relationship appears to have been initiated through Stephen 's sister Charlotte who stayed with the Rowans at Federal Hill in 1828 . While Charlotte lived with the Rowan family , Atkinson Hill Rowan made a proposal of marriage to her , which she ultimately declined . Charlotte died in the home of George Washing Barclay , a cousin of both families , with Atkinson Hill Rowan at her bedside . The song `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' is one of many examples of the loss of home in Foster 's work . Biographers believe that this common theme originated from the loss of Foster 's childhood home , known as the `` White Cottage '' , an estate his mother referred to as an Eden , in reference to the Garden of Eden . The family was financially supported by the family patriarch William Foster , who owned vast holdings , which were lost through bad business dealings that left the family destitute and unable to keep possession of the White Cottage ; the family was forced to leave the estate when Stephen Foster was three years old . After years of financial instability and the sharing of memories of the White Cottage with Stephen by his parents and siblings , the impact of longing for a permanent home that was no longer available to him greatly influenced his writing . Public sentiment ( edit ) Frederick Douglass in 1856 Upon its release in 1853 by Firth , Pond & Company , `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night '' grew quickly in popularity , selling thousands of copies . The song 's popular and nostalgic theme of the loss of home resonated with the public and further resolved to stimulate strong feelings in support of the abolitionist movement in the United States . Famous African - American abolitionist Frederick Douglass promoted the song , among other similar songs of the time period , in his autobiography My Bondage and My Freedom as evoking a sentimental theme towards the enslaved servant that promotes and popularizes the cause of abolishing slavery in the United States . Douglass commented , `` They ( My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! , etc . ) are heart songs , and the finest feelings of human nature are expressed in them . ( They ) can make the heart sad as well as merry , and can call forth a tear as well as a smile . They awaken the sympathies for the slave '' , he stated , `` in which anti-slavery principles take root and flourish '' . The song held popularity for over a decade and throughout the American Civil War . The song 's reach throughout the United States and popularity has been attributed to soldiers of the war , who passed the tune from location to location during the war 's tenure . Soldiers of the war , both Union and Confederate , visited Federal Hill by the thousands to see the landmark that lent visual inspiration for Foster 's song both during the war and after . Following the war , Federal Hill continued to be frequented by tourists throughout the remainder of the 19th century . After the American Civil War had ended and the institution of slavery was abolished , the song , `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good Night ! '' , which encouraged and inspired abolitionist views in the United States thereafter continued to be held in high esteem by the public . The typical reduction of the song 's title from `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' to `` My Old Kentucky Home '' occurred after the turn of the century . The song 's first verse and chorus are recited annually at the Kentucky Derby . Colonel Matt Winn introduced the song as a derby tradition . As early as 1930 , it was played to accompany the Post Parade ; the University of Louisville Marching Band has played the song for all but a few years since 1936 . In 1982 , Churchill Downs honored Foster by establishing the Stephen Foster Handicap . The University of Kentucky , University of Louisville , Murray State University , Eastern Kentucky University , and Western Kentucky University bands play the song at their schools ' football and basketball games . Kentucky State song ( edit ) WHEREAS , the song , `` My Old Kentucky Home , '' by Stephen Collins Foster , has immortalized Kentucky throughout the civilized world , and is known and sung in every State and Nation ; ... -- Preamble to a 1928 Act of the Kentucky legislature In 1928 , `` My Old Kentucky Home '' was `` selected and adopted '' by the Kentucky state legislature as the state 's official song . It has remained so , subject to one change that was made in 1986 . In that year , a Japanese youth group visiting the Kentucky General Assembly sang the song to the legislators , using the original lyrics that included the word `` darkies '' . Legislator Carl Hines was offended by this and subsequently introduced a resolution that would substitute the word `` people '' in place of `` darkies '' whenever the song was used by the House of Representatives . A similar resolution was introduced by Georgia Davis Powers in the Kentucky State Senate . The resolution was adopted by both chambers . Modern impact ( edit ) Today , the song My Old Kentucky Home remains an important composition due to its role in the evolution of American songwriting and as one of the most influential songs in American culture . According to popular - song analysts , the appeal of the theme of ' returning home ' is one in which listeners of `` My Old Kentucky Home '' are able to personally relate within their own lives . Many revisions and updates of the song have occurred throughout the past century has further ingrained the song in American culture . Recording History ( edit ) `` My Old Kentucky Home '' was recorded many times during the early era of cylinder recordings . The Cylinder Audio Archive at the University of California ( Santa Barbara ) Library contains nineteen commercial recordings of the song ( in addition to several home recordings ) . In most cases , even those of the commercial recordings , the Archive is unable to determine the precise dates ( or even years ) of either their recording or their release , with some cylinders being dated only to a forty - year range from the 1890s to the 1920s . The earliest recording of `` My Old Kentucky Home '' for which the Archive was able to determine a precise year of release is from 1898 and features an unidentified cornet duo . However , the song is known to have been recorded earlier than that ( in February 1894 ) by the Standard Quartette , a vocal group that was appearing in a musical that featured the song ( making their recording perhaps the earliest example of a cast recording ) . No copy of that cylinder is known to have survived . And although cylinder recordings were more popular during the 1800s than were disc records , some of the latter were being sold , mostly by Berliner Gramophone . A version sung by A.C. Weaver was recorded in September 1894 and released with catalog number 175 . The popularity of `` My Old Kentucky Home '' as recording material continued into the 20th century , despite the fact that the song was then more than fifty years old . In the first two decades of the century , newly established Victor Records released thirteen versions of the song ( plus five more recordings that included it as part of a medley ) . During that same period , Columbia Records issued a similar number , including one by Margaret Wilson ( daughter of U.S. president Woodrow Wilson ) . One of the major vocal groups of the day , the Peerless Quartet , recorded it twice , as did internationally - known operatic soprano Alma Gluck . It was also recorded by various marching and concert bands , including three recordings by one of the most well - known , Sousa 's Band , as well as three by the house concert band at Edison Records . Although the frequency of its recording dropped off as the century progressed , `` My Old Kentucky Home '' continued to be used as material by some of the major popular singers of the day . Versions were recorded by Kate Smith , Bing Crosby , and Al Jolson . A version by operatic contralto Marian Anderson was released in Japan and Paul Robeson recorded his version for an English company while living in London in the late 1920s . The song continued to find expression in non-traditional forms , including a New Orleans jazz version by Louis Armstrong and a swing version by Gene Krupa . For a listing of some other recorded versions of the song , see External links . In 2001 , the National Endowment for the Arts and the Recording Industry Association of America promulgated a list of the 365 `` Songs of the Century '' that best displayed `` historical significance of not only the song but also of the record and artist '' . `` My Old Kentucky Home '' appeared on that list ( the only song written by Foster to do so ) , represented by the 1908 recording of operatic soprano Geraldine Farrar ( Victor Records 88238 ) . Adaptations ( edit ) By the time that commercial music began to be recorded , the verse melody of `` My Old Kentucky Home '' had become so widely known that recording artists sometimes quoted it in material that was otherwise unrelated to Foster 's song . Henry Burr 's 1921 recording of `` Kentucky Home '' quotes the melody in an interlude midway through the record . And vaudeville singer Billy Murray 's 1923 recording of `` Happy and Go - Lucky in My Old Kentucky Home '' adds the melody in the record 's finale . An earlier recording by Murray , 1915 's `` We 'll Have a Jubilee in My Old Kentucky Home '' , takes the further step of incorporating a portion of Foster 's melody ( but not his lyrics ) into each chorus . And a few decades earlier than that , a young Charles Ives , while still a student at Yale University in the 1890s , used Foster 's melody ( both the verse and the chorus ) as a strain in one of his marches . Ives often quoted from Foster and musicologist Clayton Henderson has detected material from `` My Old Kentucky Home '' in eight of his works . In the mid-1960s , songwriter Randy Newman used the verse of `` My Old Kentucky Home '' ( with modified lyrics ) as the chorus to his `` Turpentine and Dandelion Wine '' . Newman recorded this adaptation for his 12 Songs album ( 1970 , Reprise RS 6373 ) under the title `` Old Kentucky Home '' . However , the adaptation had been recorded earlier at least twice . The first was by the Beau Brummels , who recorded it for their Triangle album ( 1967 , Warner Brothers WS 1692 ) . The second was by the Alan Price Set , who included it as the B - side to their `` Love Story '' single ( 1968 , Decca F 12808 ) . Since Newman 's recording , the adaptation was covered several times more . The only version that charted was by Johnny Cash , who released it as a single from his John R. Cash album ( 1975 , Columbia KC 33370 ) . The single reached No. 42 on Billboard 's country - music chart . Note that the various cover versions generally use slightly different titles , some adding `` My '' to Newman 's title , others omitting `` Old '' . Also , some use Newman 's original title of `` Turpentine and Dandelion Wine '' as a subtitle . A more complete listing of these cover versions can be found in External links . Appearance in media ( edit ) `` My Old Kentucky Home '' has appeared in many films , live action and animated , and in television episodes , in the 20th and 21st centuries . In 1926 , the song first appeared in film in the first animated cartoon to have ever featured synchronized dialogue . The original title for the first draft of Margaret Mitchell 's 1936 novel Gone with the Wind was `` Tote The Weary Load '' , a lyric from `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' The lyric `` a few more days for to tote the weary load '' appears in the text of the novel as Scarlett O'Hara is returning to Tara . Judy Garland sang `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' live on December 14 , 1938 , on the radio show , America Calling . She later covered it again on The All Time Flop Parade with Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters . On April 29 , 1953 , Garland headlined a Kentucky Derby week appearance in Lexington , Kentucky named `` The Bluegrass Festival '' where she sang the song `` My Old Kentucky Home '' , accompanied by a single violin . In 1939 , `` My Old Kentucky Home '' was featured in the film version of Gone With The Wind both instrumentally and with lyrics . In the movie , Prissy , played by Butterfly McQueen , sings the line , `` a few more days for to tote the weary load '' . In 1940 , Bing Crosby sung `` My Old Kentucky Home , Good - Night ! '' via radio broadcast with Leopold Stokowski conducting a symphony for the dedication of the Stephen Foster postage stamp release held in Bardstown , Kentucky at My Old Kentucky Home . Kate Smith performed the song on March 20 , 1969 , on The Dean Martin Show with Mickey Rooney and Barbara Eden . The song was covered in The Simpsons , Season 21 , Episode 13 , `` The Color Yellow . '' Marge and Lisa read from the footnotes of a cookbook written by Mabel Simpson in which she describes the escape of an enslaved servant , Virgil , who is assisted by Eliza Simpson . Virgil and Eliza find safe harbor in a circus operated by Krusty the Clown , who hides them from slave patrollers by disguising them as circus acts . Krusty asks what talents Virgil possesses , to which he replies that he has music talent and then performs the song , `` My Old Kentucky Home '' while playing violin . The song was covered in Mad Men , Season 3 , Episode 3 , `` My Old Kentucky Home . '' Roger Sterling ( played by John Slattery ) performs the song in blackface for a company Kentucky Derby party . Johnny Depp , Lyle Lovett , David Amram and Warren Zevon covered the song `` My Old Kentucky Home '' at the tribute memorial of journalist Hunter Thompson in December 1996 . One of Thompson 's most notable pieces , `` The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved '' , in addition to Thompson being a native of Louisville , Kentucky , inspired the performers to cover the song for his tribute . The performance was recreated 9 years later in 2005 at midnight after Thompson 's ashes were blasted from a cannon . Lyrics by Stephen Foster ( edit ) The original Stephen Foster lyrics of the song , were : The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home . ' Tis summer , the darkies are gay , The corn top 's ripe and the meadow 's in the bloom While the birds make music all the day . The young folks roll on the little cabin floor , All merry , all happy , and bright . By ' n by hard times comes a-knocking at the door , Then my old Kentucky home , good night . Weep no more my lady , oh ! weep no more today ! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home , For the old Kentucky home far away . They hunt no more for the ' possum and the coon , On the meadow , the hill and the shore , They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon , On the bench by the old cabin door . The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart , With sorrow where all was delight . The time has come when the darkies have to part , Then my old Kentucky home , good night ! Weep no more my lady , oh ! weep no more today ! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home , For the old Kentucky home far away . The head must bow and the back will have to bend , Wherever the darkies may go . A few more days and the trouble all will end , In the field where the sugar - canes grow . A few more days for to tote the weary load , No matter ' twill never be light . A few more days till we totter on the road , Then my old Kentucky home , good - night ! Weep no more my lady , oh ! weep no more today ! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home , For the old Kentucky home far away . Modern renditions ( with Kentucky officially adopting this change in 1986 ) of the song change the word darkies to people .

"The song's first verse and chorus are recited annually at the Kentucky Derby. Colonel Matt Winn introduced the song as a derby tradition.[15] As early as 1930, it was played to accompany the Post Parade; the University of Louisville Marching Band has played the song for all but a few years since 1936. In 1982, Churchill Downs honored Foster by establishing the Stephen Foster Handicap.[16] The University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Murray State University, Eastern Kentucky University, and Western Kentucky University bands play the song at their schools' football and basketball games.[17]\n"

Packages of fewer than 20 cigarettes are illegal to buy in the United States . On the left a new Lucky Strike cigarette pack by a new EU directive meanwhile on the right there 's an obsolete pack as red . Warning photos will come into effect in May 2017 at the latest across the EU . A pack or packet of cigarettes is a rectangular container , mostly of paperboard , which contains cigarettes . The pack is designed with a flavor - protective foil , paper or biodegradable plastic , and sealed through a transparent airtight plastic film . By pulling the `` pull - tabs '' , the pack is opened . Hard packs can be closed again after opening , whereas soft packs can not . Cigarette packs often contain warning messages depending on which country they are sold in .

Pack ( edit ) The size of a pack is often regulated . Government agencies usually set a minimum pack size . In Australia , the most common quantity per pack is 25 , although some brands have changed them to 26 , second to 20 which by law , is the minimum . 30 , 40 and even 50 packs are also sold . In Canada , most packs sold have 25 cigarettes , but packs of 20 are also popular . In many European countries , increases of cigarette tax can cause the quantity of cigarettes in the pack to change , in order to achieve the same end price . In Malaysia , the selling of packs containing fewer than 20 cigarettes is prohibited . In the United States of America , the quantity of cigarettes in a pack must be at least 20 . Certain brands , such as Export As , come in a pack of 25 . For many years , half - packs of 10 ( or even 14 ) cigarettes were commonly available . In the United Kingdom brands are only sold in packets of 20 , following a May , 2017 law prohibiting the sale of 10 - stick packs . The legislation also outlawed branded packaging , introducing boxes which are a plain , green color . The packaging has the brand name in a basic typeface , with most of the packet dedicated to textual and photographic health warnings . Vending machines sometimes dispense packets containing 16 or 18 cigarettes , although the dimensions of the packaging are the same as the equivalent packet containing 20 . Carton ( edit ) A carton of cigarettes usually contains 10 packs , totaling 200 cigarettes . Some cartons contain twenty packs , totaling 400 cigarettes . Hard pack and soft pack ( edit ) A hard pack is the usual style of paperboard packaging for store bought cigarettes , which consists of a relatively stable box . This successfully prevents the crumpling of cigarettes when kept in a person 's pocket or handbag . The flip - top hard pack cigarette case was introduced in 1955 by Philip Morris . Flip - up top of a hard pack Soft pack A soft pack is a box packaging made of thin paper , usually containing 20 cigarettes . Soft packs may be considered inconvenient as they rupture easily and can not be resealed . They offer the immediate convenience of not having to open the package each time the smoker wants a cigarette . They require less physical ' pocket space ' when fewer cigarettes remain in the pack . With American brands , cigarettes from a soft pack are usually a few millimeters longer than their hard - boxed counterparts . Collectible pack ( edit ) Camel Collector 's Pack To encourage cigarette pack collectors , some cigarette packs were made to present a particular interest for collectors . There are cigarette packs labeled `` collectible '' . Some brands introduce promotional packs to bypass advertising laws . An example would be a limited time promotion where the pack is made from tin with the shape , purpose , and look of a cigarette case to entice potential buyers . They are distinguished by unique décor or are very old or they were removed from manufacturing for some reasons and consequently became rare . Features ( edit ) Most cigarette packs have no features at all and are just made up of a single container filled with cigarettes . However , some cigarette packs have been proposed that also contain an empty container for disposing the cigarette butts into . This could reduce cigarette butts of being discarded unto the street , where they contaminate the environment .

The song , written by producer Thom Bell and singer - songwriter Linda Creed , was about Bell 's son , who was being teased by his classmates for being overweight . Intended to improve his son 's self - image , the song eventually evolved from being about `` The Fat Man '' to `` The Rubberband Man '' . The last major hit by the Spinners to feature Philippé Wynne on lead vocals , `` The Rubberband Man '' spent three weeks at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 , and topped the U.S. R&B chart at the end of 1976 . It was also a top - 20 hit in the UK Singles Chart , reaching number 16 in October 1976 .

There are brief bursts of brass section and piano . Singer Wynne 's delivery is `` singularly expressive '' and the bridge and chorus provide for a classic call and response routine by supporting vocalists Bobbie Smith ( tenor ) , Henry Fambrough ( baritone ) , Billy Henderson ( tenor / baritone ) and Pervis Jackson ( bass ) . The song also features the bass playing of Motown Legend Bob `` Funk Brother '' Babbitt . Wynne alternates between singing the verse and interjecting verbal asides and improvises the eight bars linking the chorus with the bridge . The backing singers ' retort of `` do - do - do - do , '' recalls the distinctive chorus in Stephen Stills ' song `` Love the One You 're With .

The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930 , except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War . The current champion is Germany , which won its fourth title at the 2014 tournament in Brazil . The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase , which currently takes place over the preceding three years , to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase , which is often called the World Cup Finals. 32 teams , including the automatically qualifying host nation ( s ) , compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation ( s ) over a period of about a month . The 20 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight different national teams . Brazil have won five times , and they are the only team to have played in every tournament . The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy , with four titles each ; Argentina and inaugural winner Uruguay , with two titles each ; and England , France and Spain , with one title each . The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world , exceeding even the Olympic Games ; the cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 FIFA World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match , a ninth of the entire population of the planet .

Green : once ; dark green : twice ; light green : planned Previous international competitions The world 's first international football match was a challenge match played in Glasgow in 1872 between Scotland and England , which ended in a 0 -- 0 draw . The first international tournament , the inaugural edition of the British Home Championship , took place in 1884 . As football grew in popularity in other parts of the world at the turn of the 20th century , it was held as a demonstration sport with no medals awarded at the 1900 and 1904 Summer Olympics ( however , the IOC has retroactively upgraded their status to official events ) , and at the 1906 Intercalated Games . After FIFA was founded in 1904 , it tried to arrange an international football tournament between nations outside the Olympic framework in Switzerland in 1906 . These were very early days for international football , and the official history of FIFA describes the competition as having been a failure . At the 1908 Summer Olympics in London , football became an official competition . Planned by The Football Association ( FA ) , England 's football governing body , the event was for amateur players only and was regarded suspiciously as a show rather than a competition . Great Britain ( represented by the England national amateur football team ) won the gold medals . They repeated the feat in 1912 in Stockholm . With the Olympic event continuing to be contested only between amateur teams , Sir Thomas Lipton organised the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy tournament in Turin in 1909 . The Lipton tournament was a championship between individual clubs ( not national teams ) from different nations , each one of which represented an entire nation . The competition is sometimes described as The First World Cup , and featured the most prestigious professional club sides from Italy , Germany and Switzerland , but the FA of England refused to be associated with the competition and declined the offer to send a professional team . Lipton invited West Auckland , an amateur side from County Durham , to represent England instead . West Auckland won the tournament and returned in 1911 to successfully defend their title . In 1914 , FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a `` world football championship for amateurs '' , and took responsibility for managing the event . This paved the way for the world 's first intercontinental football competition , at the 1920 Summer Olympics , contested by Egypt and 13 European teams , and won by Belgium . Uruguay won the next two Olympic football tournaments in 1924 and 1928 . Those were also the first two open world championships , as 1924 was the start of FIFA 's professional era . World Cups before World war II Estadio Centenario , the location of the first World Cup final in 1930 in Montevideo , Uruguay Due to the success of the Olympic football tournaments , FIFA , with President Jules Rimet as the driving force , again started looking at staging its own international tournament outside of the Olympics . On 28 May 1928 , the FIFA Congress in Amsterdam decided to stage a world championship itself . With Uruguay now two - time official football world champions and to celebrate their centenary of independence in 1930 , FIFA named Uruguay as the host country of the inaugural World Cup tournament . The national associations of selected nations were invited to send a team , but the choice of Uruguay as a venue for the competition meant a long and costly trip across the Atlantic Ocean for European sides . Indeed , no European country pledged to send a team until two months before the start of the competition . Rimet eventually persuaded teams from Belgium , France , Romania , and Yugoslavia to make the trip . In total , 13 nations took part : seven from South America , four from Europe and two from North America . The first two World Cup matches took place simultaneously on 13 July 1930 , and were won by France and the USA , who defeated Mexico 4 -- 1 and Belgium 3 -- 0 respectively . The first goal in World Cup history was scored by Lucien Laurent of France . In the final , Uruguay defeated Argentina 4 -- 2 in front of a crowd of 93,000 people in Montevideo , and in doing so became the first nation to win the World Cup . After the creation of the World Cup , FIFA and the IOC disagreed over the status of amateur players , and so football was dropped from the 1932 Summer Olympics . Olympic football returned at the 1936 Summer Olympics , but was now overshadowed by the more prestigious World Cup . The issues facing the early World Cup tournaments were the difficulties of intercontinental travel , and war . Few South American teams were willing to travel to Europe for the 1934 and 1938 tournaments , with Brazil the only South American team to compete in both . The 1942 and 1946 competitions , which Nazi Germany and Brazil sought to host , were cancelled due to World War II and its aftermath . World Cups after World war II The 1950 World Cup , held in Brazil , was the first to include British participants . British teams withdrew from FIFA in 1920 , partly out of unwillingness to play against the countries they had been at war with , and partly as a protest against foreign influence on football , but rejoined in 1946 following FIFA 's invitation . The tournament also saw the return of 1930 champions Uruguay , who had boycotted the previous two World Cups . Uruguay won the tournament again after defeating the host nation Brazil , in the match called `` Maracanazo '' ( Portuguese : Maracanaço ) . In the tournaments between 1934 and 1978 , 16 teams competed in each tournament , except in 1938 , when Austria was absorbed into Germany after qualifying , leaving the tournament with 15 teams , and in 1950 , when India , Scotland , and Turkey withdrew , leaving the tournament with 13 teams . Most of the participating nations were from Europe and South America , with a small minority from North America , Africa , Asia , and Oceania . These teams were usually defeated easily by the European and South American teams . Until 1982 , the only teams from outside Europe and South America to advance out of the first round were : USA , semi-finalists in 1930 ; Cuba , quarter - finalists in 1938 ; North Korea , quarter - finalists in 1966 ; and Mexico , quarter - finalists in 1970 . Expansion to 32 teams The tournament was expanded to 24 teams in 1982 , and then to 32 in 1998 , also allowing more teams from Africa , Asia and North America to take part . Since then , teams from these regions have enjoyed more success , with several having reached the quarter - finals : Mexico , quarter - finalists in 1986 ; Cameroon , quarter - finalists in 1990 ; South Korea , finishing in fourth place in 2002 ; Senegal , along with USA , both quarter - finalists in 2002 ; Ghana , quarter - finalists in 2010 ; and Costa Rica , quarter - finalists in 2014 . Nevertheless , European and South American teams continue to dominate , e.g. , the quarter - finalists in 1994 , 1998 , and 2006 were all from Europe or South America and so were the finalists of all tournaments so far . Two hundred teams entered the 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification rounds ; 198 nations attempted to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup , while a record 204 countries entered qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup . Expansion to 48 teams In October 2013 , Sepp Blatter spoke of guaranteeing the Caribbean Football Union 's region a position in the World Cup . In the 25 October 2013 edition of the FIFA Weekly Blatter wrote that : `` From a purely sporting perspective , I would like to see globalisation finally taken seriously , and the African and Asian national associations accorded the status they deserve at the FIFA World Cup . It can not be that the European and South American confederations lay claim to the majority of the berths at the World Cup . '' Those two remarks suggested to commentators that Blatter could be putting himself forward for re-election to the FIFA Presidency . Following the magazine 's publication , Blatter 's would - be opponent for the FIFA Presidency , UEFA President Michel Platini responded that he intended to extend the World Cup to 40 national associations , increasing the number of participants by eight . Platini said that he would allocate an additional berth to UEFA , two to Asia Football Confederation and Confederation of African Football , two shared between CONCACAF and CONMEBOL , and a guaranteed place for the Oceania Football Confederation . Platini was clear about why he wanted to expand the World Cup . He said : `` ( The World Cup is ) not based on the quality of the teams because you do n't have the best 32 at the World Cup ... but it 's a good compromise ... It 's a political matter so why not have more Africans ? The competition is to bring all the people of all the world . If you do n't give the possibility to participate , they do n't improve . '' In October 2016 FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated his support for a 48 - team World Cup in 2026 . On 10 January 2017 , FIFA confirmed the 2026 World Cup will have 48 finalist teams . 2015 FIFA corruption case Main article : 2015 FIFA corruption case By May 2015 , the games were under a particularly dark cloud because of the 2015 FIFA corruption case , allegations and criminal charges of bribery , fraud and money laundering to corrupt the issuing of media and marketing rights ( rigged bids ) for FIFA games , with FIFA officials accused of taking bribes totaling more than $150 million over 24 years . In late May , the U.S. Justice Department announced a 47 - count indictment with charges of racketeering , wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy against 14 people . Arrests of over a dozen FIFA officials were made since that time , particularly on May 29 and December 3 . By the end of May 2015 , a total of nine FIFA officials and five executives of sports and broadcasting markets had already been charged on corruption . At the time , FIFA president Sepp Blatter announced he would relinquish his position in February 2016 . On 4 June 2015 Chuck Blazer while co-operating with the FBI and the Swiss authorities admitted that he and the other members of FIFA 's then - executive committee were bribed in order to promote the 1998 and 2010 World Cups . On 10 June 2015 Swiss authorities seized computer data from the offices of Sepp Blatter . The same day , FIFA postponed the bidding process for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in light of the allegations surrounding bribery in the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments . Then - secretary general Jérôme Valcke stated , `` Due to the situation , I think it 's nonsense to start any bidding process for the time being . '' On 28 October 2015 , Blatter and FIFA VP Michel Platini , a potential candidate for presidency , were suspended for 90 days ; both maintained their innocence in statements made to the news media . On 3 December 2015 two FIFA vice-presidents were arrested on suspicion of bribery in the same Zurich hotel where seven FIFA officials had been arrested in May . An additional 16 indictments by the U.S. Department of Justice were announced on the same day . Other FIFA tournaments An equivalent tournament for women 's football , the FIFA Women 's World Cup , was first held in 1991 in China . The women 's tournament is smaller in scale and profile than the men 's , but is growing ; the number of entrants for the 2007 tournament was 120 , more than double that of 1991 . Men 's football has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except 1896 and 1932 . Unlike many other sports , the men 's football tournament at the Olympics is not a top - level tournament , and since 1992 , an under - 23 tournament with each team allowed three over-age players . Women 's football made its Olympic debut in 1996 . The FIFA Confederations Cup is a tournament held one year before the World Cup at the World Cup host nation ( s ) as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup . It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships , along with the FIFA World Cup champion and the host country . FIFA also organises international tournaments for youth football ( FIFA U-20 World Cup , FIFA U-17 World Cup , FIFA U-20 Women 's World Cup , FIFA U-17 Women 's World Cup ) , club football ( FIFA Club World Cup ) , and football variants such as futsal ( FIFA Futsal World Cup ) and beach soccer ( FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup ) . The latter three do not have a women 's version , although a FIFA Women 's Club World Cup has been proposed . The FIFA U-20 Women 's World Cup is held the year before each Women 's World Cup and both tournaments are awarded in a single bidding process . The U-20 tournament serves as a dress rehearsal for the larger competition . Trophy Main article : FIFA World Cup Trophy From 1930 to 1970 , the Jules Rimet Trophy was awarded to the World Cup winning team . It was originally simply known as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde , but in 1946 it was renamed after the FIFA president Jules Rimet who set up the first tournament . In 1970 , Brazil 's third victory in the tournament entitled them to keep the trophy permanently . However , the trophy was stolen in 1983 and has never been recovered , apparently melted down by the thieves . After 1970 , a new trophy , known as the FIFA World Cup Trophy , was designed . The experts of FIFA , coming from seven countries , evaluated the 53 presented models , finally opting for the work of the Italian designer Silvio Gazzaniga . The new trophy is 36 cm ( 14.2 in ) high , made of solid 18 carat ( 75 % ) gold and weighs 6.175 kg ( 13.6 lb ) . The base contains two layers of semi-precious malachite while the bottom side of the trophy bears the engraved year and name of each FIFA World Cup winner since 1974 . The description of the trophy by Gazzaniga was : `` The lines spring out from the base , rising in spirals , stretching out to receive the world . From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory . '' This new trophy is not awarded to the winning nation permanently . World Cup winners retain the trophy only until the post-match celebration is finished . They are awarded a gold - plated replica rather than the solid gold original immediately afterwards . Currently , all members ( players , coaches , and managers ) of the top three teams receive medals with an insignia of the World Cup Trophy ; winners ' ( gold ) , runners - up ' ( silver ) , and third - place ( bronze ) . In the 2002 edition , fourth - place medals were awarded to hosts South Korea . Before the 1978 tournament , medals were only awarded to the eleven players on the pitch at the end of the final and the third - place match . In November 2007 , FIFA announced that all members of World Cup - winning squads between 1930 and 1974 were to be retroactively awarded winners ' medals . Format Qualification Main article : FIFA World Cup qualification Since the second World Cup in 1934 , qualifying tournaments have been held to thin the field for the final tournament . They are held within the six FIFA continental zones ( Africa , Asia , North and Central America and Caribbean , South America , Oceania , and Europe ) , overseen by their respective confederations . For each tournament , FIFA decides the number of places awarded to each of the continental zones beforehand , generally based on the relative strength of the confederations ' teams . The qualification process can start as early as almost three years before the final tournament and last over a two - year period . The formats of the qualification tournaments differ between confederations . Usually , one or two places are awarded to winners of intercontinental play - offs . For example , the winner of the Oceanian zone and the fifth - placed team from the Asian zone entered a play - off for a spot in the 2010 World Cup . From the 1938 World Cup onwards , host nations receive automatic qualification to the final tournament . This right was also granted to the defending champions between 1938 and 2002 , but was withdrawn from the 2006 FIFA World Cup onward , requiring the champions to qualify . Brazil , winners in 2002 , were the first defending champions to play qualifying matches . Final tournament For the various formats used in previous tournaments , see History of the FIFA World Cup § Format of each final tournament . The current final tournament has been used since 1998 and features 32 national teams competing over the course of a month in the host nation ( s ) . There are two stages : the group stage followed by the knockout stage . In the group stage , teams compete within eight groups of four teams each . Eight teams are seeded , including the hosts , with the other seeded teams selected using a formula based on the FIFA World Rankings and / or performances in recent World Cups , and drawn to separate groups . The other teams are assigned to different `` pots '' , usually based on geographical criteria , and teams in each pot are drawn at random to the eight groups . Since 1998 , constraints have been applied to the draw to ensure that no group contains more than two European teams or more than one team from any other confederation . Each group plays a round - robin tournament , in which each team is scheduled for three matches against other teams in the same group . This means that a total of six matches are played within a group . The last round of matches of each group is scheduled at the same time to preserve fairness among all four teams . The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage . Points are used to rank the teams within a group . Since 1994 , three points have been awarded for a win , one for a draw and none for a loss ( before , winners received two points ) . If one considers all possible outcomes ( win , draw , loss ) for all six matches in a group , there are 729 ( = 3 ) different outcome combinations possible . However a certain number ( 207 ) of these combinations lead to ties between the second and third places . In such case , the ranking among these teams is determined as follows : Greatest combined goal difference in all group matches Greatest combined number of goals scored in all group matches If more than one team remain level after applying the above criteria , their ranking will be determined as follows : Greatest number of points in head - to - head matches among those teams Greatest goal difference in head - to - head matches among those teams Greatest number of goals scored in head - to - head matches among those teams If any of the teams above remain level after applying the above criteria , their ranking will be determined by the drawing of lots The knockout stage is a single - elimination tournament in which teams play each other in one - off matches , with extra time and penalty shootouts used to decide the winner if necessary . It begins with the round of 16 ( or the second round ) in which the winner of each group plays against the runner - up of another group . This is followed by the quarter - finals , the semi-finals , the third - place match ( contested by the losing semi-finalists ) , and the final . On 10 January 2017 , FIFA approved a new format , the 48 - team World Cup ( to accommodate more teams ) , which consists of 16 groups of three teams each , with two teams qualifying from each group , to form a round of 32 knockout stage , to be implemented by 2026 . Hosts Main article : FIFA World Cup hosts Selection process Wikinews has related news : FIFA receives eleven bids for 2018 and 2022 World Cups Early World Cups were given to countries at meetings of FIFA 's congress . The locations were controversial because South America and Europe were by far the two centres of strength in football and travel between them required three weeks by boat . The decision to hold the first World Cup in Uruguay , for example , led to only four European nations competing . The next two World Cups were both held in Europe . The decision to hold the second of these in France was disputed , as the South American countries understood that the location would alternate between the two continents . Both Argentina and Uruguay thus boycotted the 1938 FIFA World Cup . Russian delegates celebrate being chosen as the host of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Since the 1958 FIFA World Cup , to avoid future boycotts or controversy , FIFA began a pattern of alternating the hosts between the Americas and Europe , which continued until the 1998 FIFA World Cup . The 2002 FIFA World Cup , hosted jointly by South Korea and Japan , was the first one held in Asia , and the only tournament with multiple hosts . South Africa became the first African nation to host the World Cup in 2010 . The 2014 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil , the first held in South America since Argentina 1978 , and was the first occasion where consecutive World Cups were held outside Europe . The host country is now chosen in a vote by FIFA 's Council . This is done under an exhaustive ballot system . The national football association of a country desiring to host the event receives a `` Hosting Agreement '' from FIFA , which explains the steps and requirements that are expected from a strong bid . The bidding association also receives a form , the submission of which represents the official confirmation of the candidacy . After this , a FIFA designated group of inspectors visit the country to identify that the country meets the requirements needed to host the event and a report on the country is produced . The decision on who will host the World Cup is usually made six or seven years in advance of the tournament . However , there have been occasions where the hosts of multiple future tournaments were announced at the same time , as was the case for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups , which were awarded to Russia and Qatar , with Qatar becoming the first Middle Eastern country to host the tournament . For the 2010 and 2014 World Cups , the final tournament is rotated between confederations , allowing only countries from the chosen confederation ( Africa in 2010 , South America in 2014 ) to bid to host the tournament . The rotation policy was introduced after the controversy surrounding Germany 's victory over South Africa in the vote to host the 2006 tournament . However , the policy of continental rotation will not continue beyond 2014 , so any country , except those belonging to confederations that hosted the two preceding tournaments , can apply as hosts for World Cups starting from 2018 . This is partly to avoid a similar scenario to the bidding process for the 2014 tournament , where Brazil was the only official bidder . Performances See also : Results of host nations in the FIFA World Cup Six of the eight champions have won one of their titles while playing in their own homeland , the exceptions being Brazil , who finished as runners - up after losing the deciding match on home soil in 1950 and lost their semifinal against Germany in 2014 , and Spain , which reached the second round on home soil in 1982 . England ( 1966 ) and France ( 1998 ) won their only titles while playing as host nations . Uruguay ( 1930 ) , Italy ( 1934 ) and Argentina ( 1978 ) won their first titles as host nations but have gone on to win again , while Germany ( 1974 ) won their second title on home soil . Other nations have also been successful when hosting the tournament . Switzerland ( quarter - finals 1954 ) , Sweden ( runners - up in 1958 ) , Chile ( third place in 1962 ) , South Korea ( fourth place in 2002 ) , and Mexico ( quarter - finals in 1970 and 1986 ) all have their best results when serving as hosts . So far , South Africa ( 2010 ) has been the only host nation to fail to advance beyond the first round .

Another match or matches drew more attendance than the final in 1930 , 1938 , 1958 , 1962 , 1970 -- 1982 , 1990 and 2006 . Source : FIFA Broadcasting and promotion See also : List of FIFA World Cup broadcasters The World Cup was first televised in 1954 and is now the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world . The cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 World Cup is estimated to be 26.29 billion . 715.1 million individuals watched the final match of this tournament ( a ninth of the entire population of the planet ) . The 2006 World Cup draw , which decided the distribution of teams into groups , was watched by 300 million viewers . The World Cup attracts many sponsors such as Coca - Cola , McDonald 's and Adidas . For these companies and many more , being a sponsor strongly impacts their global brands . Host countries typically experience a multimillion - dollar revenue increase from the month - long event . It was predicted that Brazil will bring in more than $11 billion in revenue for the 2014 World Cup . Each FIFA World Cup since 1966 has its own mascot or logo . World Cup Willie , the mascot for the 1966 competition , was the first World Cup mascot . Recent World Cups have also featured official match balls specially designed for each World Cup . The World Cup even has a statistically significant effect on birth rates , the male / female sex ratio of newborns , and heart attacks in nations whose national teams are competing . Hosting the World Cup or a home team 's win tends to increase male births and total birth rate , and heart attacks are more common when home teams are on the field .

FIFA now recognises the United States as the third - placed team and Yugoslavia as the fourth - placed team , using the overall records of the teams in the tournament . Jump up ^ Austria withdrew after the draw as a result of the Anschluss with Germany : some Austrian players subsequently joined the German squad , leaving the tournament with 15 teams . ^ Jump up to : There was no official World Cup final match in 1950 . The tournament winner was decided by a final round - robin group contested by four teams ( Uruguay , Brazil , Sweden , and Spain ) . Coincidentally , one of the last two matches of the tournament pitted the two top ranked teams against each other , with Uruguay 's 2 -- 1 victory over Brazil thus often being considered as the de facto final of the 1950 World Cup . Likewise , the game between the lowest ranked teams , played at the same time as Uruguay vs Brazil , can be considered equal to a Third Place match , with Sweden 's 3 -- 1 victory over Spain ensuring that they finished third . Jump up ^ Only 13 teams played the 1950 FIFA World Cup . 16 teams entered the seeding groups draw . However , Turkey and Scotland both withdrew before the draw ; France ( eliminated in qualifying ) was invited as a replacement , leaving the tournament to be held with 15 teams . After the draw , India and France both withdrew , so only 13 teams participated in the tournament . In all , 77 nations have played in at least one World Cup . Of these , eight national teams have won the World Cup , and they have added stars to their badges , with each star representing a World Cup victory . ( Uruguay , however , choose to display four stars on their badge , representing their two gold medals at the 1924 and 1928 Summer Olympics and their two World Cup titles in 1930 and 1950 ) . With five titles , Brazil are the most successful World Cup team and also the only nation to have played in every World Cup ( 20 ) to date . Brazil were also the first team to win the World Cup for the third ( 1970 ) , fourth ( 1994 ) and fifth ( 2002 ) time . Italy ( 1934 and 1938 ) and Brazil ( 1958 and 1962 ) are the only nations to have won consecutive titles .

The FDIC was created by the 1933 Banking Act , enacted during the Great Depression to restore trust in the American banking system . More than one - third of banks failed in the years before the FDIC 's creation , and bank runs were common . The insurance limit was initially US $2,500 per ownership category , and this was increased several times over the years . Since the passage of the Dodd -- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2011 , the FDIC insures deposits in member banks up to US $250,000 per ownership category . The FDIC and its reserves are not funded by public funds ; member banks ' insurance dues are the FDIC 's primary source of funding . The FDIC also has a US $100 billion line of credit with the United States Department of the Treasury . Only banks are insured by the FDIC ; credit unions are insured up to the same insurance limit by the National Credit Union Administration , which is also a government agency . As of the end of 2017 , the FDIC provided deposit insurance at 5,670 institutions . The FDIC also examines and supervises certain financial institutions for safety and soundness , performs certain consumer - protection functions , and manages receiverships of failed banks .

Thus a depositor with $250,000 in each of three ownership categories at each of two banks would have six different insurance limits of $250,000 , for total insurance coverage of 6 × $250,000 = $1,500,000 . The distinct ownership categories are Single accounts ( accounts not falling into any other category ) Certain retirement accounts ( including Individual Retirement Accounts ( IRAs ) ) Joint accounts ( accounts with more than one owner with equal rights to withdraw ) Revocable trust accounts ( containing the words `` Payable on death '' , `` In trust for '' , etc . ) Irrevocable trust accounts Employee Benefit Plan accounts ( deposits of a pension plan ) Corporation / Partnership / Unincorporated Association accounts Government accounts All amounts that a particular depositor has in accounts in any particular ownership category at a particular bank are added together and are insured up to $250,000 . For joint accounts , each co-owner is assumed ( unless the account specifically states otherwise ) to own the same fraction of the account as does each other co-owner ( even though each co-owner may be eligible to withdraw all funds from the account ) . Thus if three people jointly own a $750,000 account , the entire account balance is insured because each depositor 's $250,000 share of the account is insured . The owner of a revocable trust account is generally insured up to $250,000 for each unique beneficiary ( subject to special rules if there are more than five of them ) . Thus if there is a single owner of an account that is specified as in trust for ( payable on death to , etc . ) three different beneficiaries , the funds in the account are insured up to $750,000 . Board of Directors ( edit ) The Board of Directors of the FDIC is the governing body of the FDIC . The board is composed of five members , three appointed by the president of the United States with the consent of the United States Senate and two ex officio members . The three appointed members each serve six - year terms . No more than three members of the board may be of the same political affiliation . The president , with the consent of the Senate , also designates one of the appointed members as chairman of the board , to serve a five - year term , and one of the appointed members as vice chairman of the board . The two ex officio members are the Comptroller of the Currency and the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) . As of May 2018 , the members of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation were : Jelena McWilliams -- Chairman of the Board Vacant -- Vice Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg -- Independent Director Joseph Otting -- Comptroller of the Currency Mick Mulvaney -- Acting Director , Consumer Financial Protection Bureau History ( edit ) Panics of 1893 and 1907 and the Great Depression : 1893 - 1933 ( edit ) Further information : Panic of 1907 and Great Depression During the Panics of 1893 and 1907 , many banks filed bankruptcy due to bank runs caused by contagion . Both of the panics renewed discussion on deposit insurance . In 1893 , William Jennings Bryan presented a bill to Congress proposing a national deposit insurance fund . No action was taken , as the legislature paid more attention to the agricultural depression at the time . After 1907 , eight states established deposit insurance funds . Due to the lax regulation of banks and the widespread inability of banks to branch ; small , local unit banks -- often with poor financial health -- grew in numbers , especially in the western and southern states . In 1921 , there were about 31,000 banks in the US . The Federal Reserve Act initially included a provision for nationwide deposit insurance , but it was removed from the bill by the House of Representatives . From 1893 to the FDIC 's creation in 1933 , 150 bills were submitted in Congress proposing deposit insurance . There was widespread panic again over the American banking system due to fears over the strength of many banks in The Great Depression ; more than one - third of all U.S. banks were closed by bank runs . Bank runs , sudden demands by large numbers of customers to withdraw all their funds at almost the same time , brought down many bank companies as depositors attempted to withdraw more money than the bank had available as cash . Small banks in rural areas were especially affected . Written and publicly announced reassurances and tightened regulations by the government failed to assuage depositors ' fears . Establishment of the FDIC : 1933 ( edit ) President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signs the Banking Act of 1935 . President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself was dubious about insuring bank deposits , saying , `` We do not wish to make the United States Government liable for the mistakes and errors of individual banks , and put a premium on unsound banking in the future . '' But public support was overwhelmingly in favor , and the number of bank failures dropped to near zero . On 16 June 1933 , Roosevelt signed the 1933 Banking Act into law , creating the FDIC . The initial plan set by Congress in 1934 was to insure deposits up to $2,500 ( $45,734 today ) adopting of a more generous , long - term plan after six months . However , the latter plan was abandoned for an increase of the insurance limit to $5,000 ( $91,468 today ) . The 1933 Banking Act : Established the FDIC as a temporary government corporation . The Banking Act of 1935 made the FDIC a permanent agency of the government and provided permanent deposit insurance maintained at the $5,000 level . Gave the FDIC authority to provide deposit insurance to banks Gave the FDIC the authority to regulate and supervise state non-member banks Funded the FDIC with initial loans of $289 million through the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve , which were later paid back with interest Extended federal oversight to all commercial banks for the first time Separated commercial and investment banking ( Glass -- Steagall Act ) Prohibited banks from paying interest on checking accounts Allowed national banks to branch statewide , if allowed by state law . Bank sign indicating the original insurance limit offered by the FDIC of $2,500 in 1934 Historical insurance Limits ( edit ) 1934 -- $2,500 1935 -- $5,000 1950 -- $10,000 1966 -- $15,000 1969 -- $20,000 1974 -- $40,000 1980 -- $100,000 2008 -- $250,000 Congress approved a temporary increase in the deposit insurance limit from $100,000 to $250,000 , which was effective from October 3 , 2008 , through December 31 , 2010 . On May 20 , 2009 , the temporary increase was extended through December 31 , 2013 . However , the Dodd -- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ( P.L. 111 - 203 ) , which was signed into law on July 21 , 2010 , made the $250,000 insurance limit permanent . In addition , the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 ( P.L. 109 - 171 ) allows for the boards of the FDIC and the National Credit Union Administration ( NCUA ) to consider inflation and other factors every five years beginning in 2010 and , if warranted , to adjust the amounts under a specified formula . S&L and bank crisis of the 1980s ( edit ) Main article : Savings and loan crisis Federal deposit insurance received its first large - scale test since the Great Depression in the late 1980s and early 1990s during the savings and loan crisis ( which also affected commercial banks and savings banks ) . The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ( FSLIC ) had been created to insure deposits held by savings and loan institutions ( `` S&Ls '' , or `` thrifts '' ) . Because of a confluence of events , much of the S&L industry was insolvent , and many large banks were in trouble as well . FSLIC 's reserves were insufficient to pay off the depositors of all of the failing thrifts , and fell into insolvency . FSLIC was abolished in August 1989 and replaced by the Resolution Trust Corporation ( RTC ) . On December 31 , 1995 , the RTC was merged into the FDIC , and the FDIC became responsible for resolving failed thrifts . Supervision of thrifts became the responsibility of a new agency , the Office of Thrift Supervision ( credit unions remained insured by the National Credit Union Administration ) . The primary legislative responses to the crisis were the Financial Institutions Reform , Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ( FIRREA ) , and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ( FDICIA ) . Federally chartered thrifts are now regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ) , and state - chartered thrifts by the FDIC . Final combined total for all direct and indirect losses of FSLIC and RTC resolutions was an estimated $152.9 billion . Of this total amount , U.S. taxpayer losses amounted to approximately $123.8 billion ( 81 % of the total costs . ) No taxpayer money was used to resolve FDIC - insured institutions . 2008 -- 2010 Financial crisis ( edit ) Further information : 2007 -- 2012 global financial crisis 2008 ( edit ) In 2008 , twenty - five U.S. banks became insolvent and were closed by their respective chartering authority . However , during that year , the largest bank failure in terms of dollar value occurred on September 26 , 2008 , when Washington Mutual , with $307 billion in assets , experienced a 10 - day bank run on its deposits . The FDIC created the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program ( TLGP ) to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the banking system by guaranteeing newly issued senior unsecured debt of banks , thrifts , and certain holding companies , and by providing full coverage of non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts , regardless of dollar amount . The deposit insurance limit was temporarily raised from $100,000 to $250,000 . 2009 ( edit ) On August 14 , 2009 , Bloomberg reported that more than 150 publicly traded U.S. lenders had nonperforming loans above 5 % of their total holdings . This is important because former regulators say that this is the level that can wipe out a bank 's equity and threaten its survival . While this ratio does not always lead to bank failures if the banks in question have raised additional capital and have properly established reserves for the bad debt , it is an important indicator for future FDIC activity . On August 21 , 2009 , Guaranty Bank , in Texas , became insolvent and was taken over by BBVA Compass , the U.S. division of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria , the second - largest bank in Spain . This was the first foreign company to buy a failed bank during the credit crisis of 2008 and 2009 . In addition , the FDIC agreed to share losses with BBVA on about $11 billion of Guaranty Bank 's loans and other assets . This transaction alone cost the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund $3 billion . On August 27 , 2009 , the FDIC increased the number of troubled banks to 416 in the second quarter . That number compares to 305 just three months earlier . At the end of the third quarter , that number jumped to 552 . At the close of 2009 , a total of 140 banks had become insolvent . This is the largest number of bank failures in a year since 1992 , when 179 institutions failed . On February 23 , 2010 , FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair warned that the number of failures in 2010 could surpass the 140 banks that were seized in 2009 . Commercial real estate overexposure was deemed the most serious threat to banks in 2010 . On April 30 , 2010 , the FDIC was appointed as receiver for three banks in Puerto Rico at a cost of $5.3 billion . In 2010 , 157 banks with approximately $92 billion in total assets failed . In 2010 , a new division within the FDIC , the Office of Complex Financial Institutions , was created to focus on the expanded responsibilities of the FDIC by the Dodd - Frank Act for the assessment of risk in the largest , systemically important financial institutions , or SIFIs . Funds ( edit ) Former funds ( edit ) Between 1989 and 2006 , there were two separate FDIC funds -- the Bank Insurance Fund ( BIF ) , and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ( SAIF ) . The latter was established after the savings and loans crisis of the 1980s . The existence of two separate funds for the same purpose led to banks ' attempting to shift from one fund to another , depending on the benefits each could provide . In the 1990s , SAIF premiums were , at one point , five times higher than BIF premiums ; several banks attempted to qualify for the BIF , with some merging with institutions qualified for the BIF to avoid the higher premiums of the SAIF . This drove up the BIF premiums as well , resulting in a situation where both funds were charging higher premiums than necessary . Then Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan was a critic of the system , saying , `` We are , in effect , attempting to use government to enforce two different prices for the same item -- namely , government - mandated deposit insurance . Such price differences only create efforts by market participants to arbitrage the difference . '' Greenspan proposed `` to end this game and merge SAIF and BIF '' . Deposit insurance Fund ( edit ) In February 2006 , President George W. Bush signed into law the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 ( FDIRA ) and a related conforming amendments act . The FDIRA contains technical and conforming changes to implement deposit insurance reform , as well as a number of study and survey requirements . Among the highlights of this law was merging the Bank Insurance Fund ( BIF ) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ( SAIF ) into a new fund , the Deposit Insurance Fund ( DIF ) . This change was made effective March 31 , 2006 . The FDIC maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium . The amount each institution is assessed is based both on the balance of insured deposits as well as on the degree of risk the institution poses to the insurance fund . When a bank becomes insolvent , the FDIC is appointed receiver of the failed institution . As receiver , the FDIC takes title to the failed institution 's assets and liquidates them ; and as deposit insurer pays off the failed institution 's deposit liabilities or pays another institution to assume them . Because the failed institution 's assets are almost always worth less than its deposit obligations , a bank failure results in a loss to the DIF . Bond interest payments of the Financing Corporation , the funding vehicle for the `` Resolution Fund '' of the now defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ( FSLIC ) , are funded by DIF premiums . A March 2008 memorandum to the FDIC board of directors shows a 2007 year - end Deposit Insurance Fund balance of about $52.4 billion , which represented a reserve ratio of 1.22 % of its exposure to insured deposits , totaling about $4.29 trillion . The 2008 year - end insured deposits were projected to reach about $4.42 trillion with the reserve growing to $55.2 billion , a ratio of 1.25 % . As of June 2008 , the DIF had a balance of $45.2 billion . However , 9 months later , in March , 2009 , the DIF fell to $13 billion . That was the lowest total since September , 1993 and represented a reserve ratio of 0.27 % of its exposure to insured deposits totaling about $4.83 trillion . In the second quarter of 2009 , the FDIC imposed an emergency fee aimed at raising $5.6 billion to replenish the DIF . However , Saxo Bank Research reported that , after Aug 7 , further bank failures had reduced the DIF balance to $648.1 million . The FDIC announced its intent , on September 29 , 2009 , to assess the banks , in advance , for three years ' of premiums in an effort to avoid DIF insolvency . The FDIC revised its estimated costs of bank failures to about $100 billion over the next four years , an increase of $30 billion from the $70 billion estimate of earlier in 2009 . The FDIC board voted to require insured banks to prepay $45 billion in premiums to replenish the fund . News media reported that the prepayment move would be inadequate to assure the financial stability of the FDIC insurance fund . The FDIC elected to request the prepayment so that the banks could recognize the expense over three years , instead of drawing down banks ' statutory capital abruptly , at the time of the assessment . The fund is mandated by law to keep a balance equivalent to 1.15 percent of insured deposits . As of June 30 , 2008 , the insured banks held approximately $7,025 billion in total deposits , though not all of those are insured . As of September 30 , 2012 , total deposits at FDIC - insured institutions totaled roughly $10.54 trillion , although not all deposits are insured . The DIF 's reserves are not the only cash resources available to the FDIC . In addition to $67.3 billion of cash and U.S. Treasury securities held as of March 2016 , the FDIC has the ability to borrow up to $100 billion from the Treasury . The FDIC can also demand special assessments from banks as it did in the second quarter of 2009 . `` Full faith and credit '' ( edit ) The official FDIC teller sign , posted at every U.S. insured bank and savings association , states that FDIC deposit insurance is `` backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government . '' The FDIC describes this sign as a symbol of confidence for depositors . As part of a 1987 legislative enactment , Congress passed a measure stating `` it is the sense of the Congress that it should reaffirm that deposits up to the statutorily prescribed amount in federally insured depository institutions are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States . '' Insurance requirements ( edit ) To receive this benefit , member banks must follow certain liquidity and reserve requirements . Banks are classified in five groups according to their risk - based capital ratio : Well capitalized : 10 % or higher Adequately capitalized : 8 % or higher Undercapitalized : less than 8 % Significantly undercapitalized : less than 6 % Critically undercapitalized : less than 2 % When a bank becomes undercapitalized , the institution 's primary regulator issues a warning to the bank . When the number drops below 6 % , the primary regulator can change management and force the bank to take other corrective action . When the bank becomes critically undercapitalized the chartering authority closes the institution and appoints the FDIC as receiver of the bank . At Q4 2010 884 banks had very low capital cushions against risk and were on the FDIC 's `` problem list '' . Resolution of insolvent banks ( edit ) A bank 's chartering authority -- either an individual state banking department or the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency -- closes a bank and appoints the FDIC as receiver . In its role as a receiver the FDIC is tasked with protecting the depositors and maximizing the recoveries for the creditors of the failed institution . The FDIC does not close banks . The FDIC as receiver is functionally and legally separate from the FDIC acting in its corporate role as deposit insurer , and the FDIC as receiver has separate rights , duties , and obligations from those of the FDIC as insurer . Courts have long recognized these dual and separate capacities . In 1991 , to comply with legislation , the FDIC amended its failure resolution procedures to decrease the costs to the deposit insurance funds . The procedures require the FDIC to choose the resolution alternative that is least costly to the deposit insurance fund of all possible methods for resolving the failed institution . Bids are submitted to the FDIC where they are reviewed and the least cost determination is made . A receivership is designed to market the assets of a failed institution , liquidate them , and distribute the proceeds to the institution 's creditors . The FDIC as receiver succeeds to the rights , powers , and privileges of the institution and its stockholders , officers , and directors . The FDIC may collect all obligations and money due to the institution , preserve or liquidate its assets and property , and perform any other function of the institution consistent with its appointment . A receiver also has the power to merge a failed institution with another insured depository institution and to transfer its assets and liabilities without the consent or approval of any other agency , court , or party with contractual rights . Furthermore , a receiver may form a new institution , such as a bridge bank , to take over the assets and liabilities of the failed institution , or it may sell or pledge the assets of the failed institution to the FDIC in its corporate capacity . The two most common ways for the FDIC to resolve a closed institution and fulfill its role as a receiver are : Purchase and Assumption Agreement ( P&A ) , in which deposits ( liabilities ) are assumed by an open bank , which also purchases some or all of the failed bank 's loans ( assets ) . The bank 's assets that convey to the FDIC as receiver are sold and auctioned through various methods , including online , and using contractors . Deposit Payoff , as soon as the appropriate chartering authority closes the bank or thrift , the FDIC is appointed receiver . The FDIC as insurer pays all of the failed institution 's depositors with insured funds the full amount of their insured deposits . Depositors with uninsured funds and other general creditors ( such as suppliers and service providers ) of the failed institution do not receive either immediate or full reimbursement ; instead , the FDIC as receiver issues them receivership certificates . A receivership certificate entitles its holder to a portion of the receiver 's collections on the failed institution 's assets . Covered insured depository institutions resolution plans ( edit ) To assist the FDIC in resolving an insolvent bank , the FDIC requires plans including the required submission of a resolution plan by covered institutions requirement under the Dodd Frank Act . In addition to the Bank Holding Company ( `` BHC '' ) resolution plans required under the Dodd Frank Act under Section 165 ( d ) , the FDIC requires a separate Covered Insured Depository Institution ( `` CIDI '' ) resolution plan for US insured depositories with assets of $50 billion or more . Most of the largest , most complex BHCs are subject to both rules , requiring them to file a 165 ( d ) resolution plan for the BHC that includes the BHC 's core businesses and its most significant subsidiaries ( i.e. , `` material entities '' ) , as well as one or more CIDI plans depending on the number of US bank subsidiaries of the BHC that meet the $50 billion asset threshold . On December 17 , the FDIC issued guidance for the 2015 resolution plans of CIDIs of large bank holding companies ( BHCs ) . The guidance provides clarity on the assumptions that are to be made in the CIDI resolution plans and what must be addressed and analyzed in the 2015 CIDI resolution plans including : The assumption that the CIDI must fail . The cause of CIDI failure must be a core business loss or impairment . At least one `` multiple acquirer strategy '' is required in the plan . A deep level of granularity is expected in the plan . Sales strategies must be feasible and supported by considerable acquirer detail . A detailed financial and liquidity analysis is needed . Key legal issues must be considered . Resolution obstacles must be addressed . The CIDI must be insolvent at the start of resolution . Insured products ( edit ) Example of FDIC insurance coverage FDIC deposit insurance covers deposit accounts , which , by the FDIC definition , include : demand deposits ( checking accounts of a type that formerly could not legally pay interest ) , and negotiable order of withdrawal accounts ( NOW accounts , i.e. , savings accounts that have check - writing privileges ) savings accounts and money market deposit accounts ( MMDAs , i.e. , higher - interest savings accounts subject to check - writing restrictions ) time deposits including certificates of deposit ( CDs ) outstanding cashier 's checks , interest checks , and other negotiable instruments drawn on the accounts of the bank accounts denominated in foreign currencies Accounts at different banks are insured separately . All branches of a bank are considered to form a single bank . Also , an Internet bank that is part of a brick and mortar bank is not considered to be a separate bank , even if the name differs . Non-US citizens are also covered by FDIC insurance as long as their deposits are in a domestic office of an FDIC - insured bank . The FDIC publishes a guide entitled `` Your Insured Deposits '' , which sets forth the general characteristics of FDIC deposit insurance , and addresses common questions asked by bank customers about deposit insurance . Items not insured ( edit ) Only the above types of accounts are insured . Some types of uninsured products , even if purchased through a covered financial institution , are : Stocks , bonds , and mutual funds including money funds The Securities Investor Protection Corporation , a separate institution chartered by Congress , provides protection against the loss of many types of such securities in the event of a brokerage failure , but not against losses on the investments . Further , as of September 19 , 2008 , the United States Treasury is offering an optional insurance program for money market funds , which guarantees the value of the assets . Exceptions have occurred , such as the FDIC bailout of bondholders of Continental Illinois . Investments backed by the U.S. government , such as Treasury securities The contents of safe deposit boxes . Even though the word deposit appears in the name , under federal law a safe deposit box is not a deposit account -- it is merely a secured storage space rented by an institution to a customer . Losses due to theft or fraud at the institution . These situations are often covered by special insurance policies that banking institutions buy from private insurance companies . Accounting errors . In these situations , there may be remedies for consumers under state contract law , the Uniform Commercial Code , and some federal regulations , depending on the type of transaction . Insurance and annuity products , such as life , auto and homeowner 's insurance .

Numerous cultures formed . The arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492 started the European colonization of the Americas . Most colonies formed after 1600 . By the 1770s , thirteen British colonies contained 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachian Mountains . After defeating France , the British government imposed a series of new taxes after 1765 , rejecting the colonists ' argument that new taxes needed their approval ( see Stamp Act 1765 ) . Tax resistance , especially the Boston Tea Party ( 1773 ) , led to punitive laws by Parliament designed to end self - government in Massachusetts . Armed conflict began in 1775 . In 1776 , the Second Continental Congress declared the independence of the colonies as the United States of America . Led by General George Washington , it won the Revolutionary War with large support from France . The peace treaty of 1783 gave the new nation the land east of the Mississippi River ( except Canada and Florida ) . The Articles of Confederation established a central government , but it was ineffectual at providing stability , as it could not collect taxes and had no executive officer . A convention in 1787 wrote a new Constitution that was adopted in 1789 . In 1791 , a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee inalienable rights . With Washington as the first president and Alexander Hamilton his chief adviser , a strong central government was created . Purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 doubled the size of the United States . A second and final war with Britain was fought in 1812 , which solidified national pride . Encouraged by the notion of manifest destiny , U.S. territory expanded all the way to the Pacific coast . While the United States was large in terms of area , its population in 1790 was only 4 million . However this grew rapidly , reaching 7.2 million in 1810 , 32 million in 1860 , 76 million in 1900 , 132 million in 1940 , and 321 million in 2015 . Economic growth in terms of overall GDP was even greater . However compared to European powers , the nation 's military strength was relatively limited in peacetime before 1940 . The expansion was driven by a quest for inexpensive land for yeoman farmers and slave owners . The expansion of slavery was increasingly controversial and fueled political and constitutional battles , which were resolved by compromises . Slavery was abolished in all states north of the Mason -- Dixon line by 1804 , but the South continued to profit off of the institution , mostly from production of cotton . Republican Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 on a platform of halting the expansion of slavery . Seven Southern slave states rebelled and created the foundation of the Confederacy . Its attack of Fort Sumter against the Union forces started the Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) . Confederate defeat led to the impoverishment of the South and the abolition of slavery . In the Reconstruction Era ( 1863 -- 1877 ) , legal and voting rights were extended to freed slaves . The national government emerged much stronger , and because of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 , it gained the explicit duty to protect individual rights . However , when white Democrats regained their power in the South in 1877 , often by paramilitary suppression of voting , they passed Jim Crow laws to maintain white supremacy , and new disfranchising constitutions that prevented most African Americans and many poor whites from voting . This continued until gains of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s and passage of federal legislation to enforce constitutional rights were made . The United States became the world 's leading industrial power at the turn of the 20th century due to an outburst of entrepreneurship in the Northeast and Midwest and the arrival of millions of immigrant workers and farmers from Europe . The national railroad network was completed and large - scale mining and factories industrialized the Northeast and Midwest . Mass dissatisfaction with corruption , inefficiency and traditional politics stimulated the Progressive movement , from the 1890s to 1920s , which led to many reforms including the 16th to 19th constitutional amendments , which brought the federal income tax , direct election of Senators , prohibition , and women 's suffrage . Initially neutral during World War I , the United States declared war on Germany in 1917 and funded the Allied victory the following year . Women obtained the right to vote in 1920 , with Native Americans obtaining citizenship and the right to vote in 1924 . After a prosperous decade in the 1920s , the Wall Street Crash of 1929 marked the onset of the decade - long worldwide Great Depression . Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt ended the Republican dominance of the White House and implemented his New Deal programs , which included relief for the unemployed , support for farmers , Social Security and a minimum wage . The New Deal defined modern American liberalism . After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 , the United States entered World War II and financed the Allied war effort and helped defeat Nazi Germany in the European theater . Its involvement culminated in using newly invented nuclear weapons on two Japanese cities to defeat Imperial Japan in the Pacific theater . The United States and the Soviet Union emerged as rival superpowers in the aftermath of World War II . During the Cold War , the two countries confronted each other indirectly in the arms race , the Space Race , proxy wars , and propaganda campaigns . The purpose of this was to stop the spread of communism . In the 1960s , in large part due to the strength of the Civil Rights Movement , another wave of social reforms was enacted by enforcing the constitutional rights of voting and freedom of movement to African - Americans and other racial minorities . The Cold War ended when the Soviet Union was officially dissolved in 1991 , leaving the United States as the world 's only superpower . After the Cold War , the United States began focusing on modern conflicts in the Middle East and nuclear programs in North Korea . The beginning of the 21st century saw the September 11 attacks by Al - Qaeda in 2001 , followed by wars in Iraq and Afghanistan . In 2008 , the United States had its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression , which was followed by slower - than - usual rates of economic growth during the 2010s .

It is not definitively known how or when the Native Americans first settled the Americas and the present - day United States . The prevailing theory proposes that people migrated from Eurasia across Beringia , a land bridge that connected Siberia to present - day Alaska during the Ice Age , and then spread southward throughout the Americas . This migration may have begun as early as 30,000 years ago and continued through to about 10,000 + years ago , when the land bridge became submerged by the rising sea level caused by the ending of the last glacial period . These early inhabitants , called Paleoamericans , soon diversified into many hundreds of culturally distinct nations and tribes . The pre-Columbian era incorporates all period subdivisions in the history and prehistory of the Americas before the appearance of significant European influences on the American continents , spanning the time of the original settlement in the Upper Paleolithic period to European colonization during the early modern period . While technically referring to the era before Christopher Columbus ' voyages of 1492 to 1504 , in practice the term usually includes the history of American indigenous cultures until they were conquered or significantly influenced by Europeans , even if this happened decades or even centuries after Columbus ' initial landing . Native development prior to European contact ( edit ) Main article : History of Native Americans in the United States The Cultural areas of pre-Columbian North America , according to Alfred Kroeber . Native American cultures are not normally included in characterizations of advanced stone age cultures as `` Neolithic , '' which is a category that more often includes only the cultures in Eurasia , Africa , and other regions . The archaeological periods used are the classifications of archaeological periods and cultures established in Gordon Willey and Philip Phillips ' 1958 book Method and Theory in American Archaeology . They divided the archaeological record in the Americas into five phases ; see Archaeology of the Americas . The Clovis culture , a megafauna hunting culture , is primarily identified by use of fluted spear points . Artifacts from this culture were first excavated in 1932 near Clovis , New Mexico . The Clovis culture ranged over much of North America and also appeared in South America . The culture is identified by the distinctive Clovis point , a flaked flint spear - point with a notched flute , by which it was inserted into a shaft . Dating of Clovis materials has been by association with animal bones and by the use of carbon dating methods . Recent reexaminations of Clovis materials using improved carbon - dating methods produced results of 11,050 and 10,800 radiocarbon years B.P. ( roughly 9100 to 8850 BCE ) . Numerous Paleoindian cultures occupied North America , with some arrayed around the Great Plains and Great Lakes of the modern United States of America and Canada , as well as adjacent areas to the West and Southwest . According to the oral histories of many of the indigenous peoples of the Americas , they have been living on this continent since their genesis , described by a wide range of traditional creation stories . Other tribes have stories that recount migrations across long tracts of land and a great river , believed to be the Mississippi River . Genetic and linguistic data connect the indigenous people of this continent with ancient northeast Asians . Archeological and linguistic data has enabled scholars to discover some of the migrations within the Americas . A Folsom point for a spear . The Folsom Tradition was characterized by use of Folsom points as projectile tips , and activities known from kill sites , where slaughter and butchering of bison took place . Folsom tools were left behind between 9000 BCE and 8000 BCE . Na - Dené - speaking peoples entered North America starting around 8000 BCE , reaching the Pacific Northwest by 5000 BCE , and from there migrating along the Pacific Coast and into the interior . Linguists , anthropologists and archeologists believe their ancestors comprised a separate migration into North America , later than the first Paleo - Indians . They migrated into Alaska and northern Canada , south along the Pacific Coast , into the interior of Canada , and south to the Great Plains and the American Southwest . They were the earliest ancestors of the Athabascan - speaking peoples , including the present - day and historical Navajo and Apache . They constructed large multi-family dwellings in their villages , which were used seasonally . People did not live there year - round , but for the summer to hunt and fish , and to gather food supplies for the winter . The Oshara Tradition people lived from 5500 BCE to 600 CE . They were part of the Southwestern Archaic Tradition centered in north - central New Mexico , the San Juan Basin , the Rio Grande Valley , southern Colorado , and southeastern Utah . Since the 1990s , archeologists have explored and dated eleven Middle Archaic sites in present - day Louisiana and Florida at which early cultures built complexes with multiple earthwork mounds ; they were societies of hunter - gatherers rather than the settled agriculturalists believed necessary according to the theory of Neolithic Revolution to sustain such large villages over long periods . The prime example is Watson Brake in northern Louisiana , whose 11 - mound complex is dated to 3500 BCE , making it the oldest , dated site in the Americas for such complex construction . It is nearly 2,000 years older than the Poverty Point site . Construction of the mounds went on for 500 years until was abandoned about 2800 BCE , probably due to changing environmental conditions . Poverty Point culture is a Late Archaic archaeological culture that inhabited the area of the lower Mississippi Valley and surrounding Gulf Coast . The culture thrived from 2200 BCE to 700 BCE , during the Late Archaic period . Evidence of this culture has been found at more than 100 sites , from the major complex at Poverty Point ( a UNESCO World Heritage Site ) across a 100 - mile ( 160 km ) range to the Jaketown Site near Belzoni , Mississippi . The K'alyaan Totem Pole of the Tlingit Kiks. ádi Clan , erected at Sitka National Historical Park to commemorate the lives lost in the 1804 Battle of Sitka . Poverty Point is a 1 square mile ( 2.6 km ) complex of six major earthwork concentric rings , with additional platform mounds at the site . Artifacts show the people traded with other Native Americans located from Georgia to the Great Lakes region . This is one among numerous mound sites of complex indigenous cultures throughout the Mississippi and Ohio valleys . They were one of several succeeding cultures often referred to as mound builders . The Woodland period of North American pre-Columbian cultures refers to the time period from roughly 1000 BCE to 1,000 CE in the eastern part of North America . The term `` Woodland '' was coined in the 1930s and refers to prehistoric sites dated between the Archaic period and the Mississippian cultures . The Hopewell tradition is the term for the common aspects of the Native American culture that flourished along rivers in the northeastern and midwestern United States from 200 BCE to 500 CE . The indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast were of many nations and tribal affiliations , each with distinctive cultural and political identities , but they shared certain beliefs , traditions and practices , such as the centrality of salmon as a resource and spiritual symbol . Their gift - giving feast , potlatch , is a highly complex event where people gather in order to commemorate special events . These events , such as , the raising of a Totem pole or the appointment or election of a new chief . The most famous artistic feature of the culture is the Totem pole , with carvings of animals and other characters to commemorate cultural beliefs , legends , and notable events . The Hopewell tradition was not a single culture or society , but a widely dispersed set of related populations , who were connected by a common network of trade routes , known as the Hopewell Exchange System . At its greatest extent , the Hopewell exchange system ran from the Southeastern United States into the southeastern Canadian shores of Lake Ontario . Within this area , societies participated in a high degree of exchange ; most activity was conducted along the waterways that served as their major transportation routes . The Hopewell exchange system traded materials from all over the United States . Major cultures ( edit ) Grave Creek Mound , located in Moundsville , West Virginia , is one of the largest conical mounds in the United States . It was built by the Adena culture . Adena culture : The Adena culture was a Native American culture that existed from 1000 BC to 200 BC , in a time known as the Early Woodland period . The Adena culture refers to what were probably a number of related Native American societies sharing a burial complex and ceremonial system . A map showing the extent of the Coles Creek cultural period and some important sites . Coles Creek culture : The Coles Creek culture is an indigenous development of the Lower Mississippi Valley that took place between the terminal Woodland period and the later Plaquemine culture period . The period is marked by the increased use of flat - topped platform mounds arranged around central plazas , more complex political institutions , and a subsistence strategy still grounded in the Eastern Agricultural Complex and hunting rather than on the maize plant as would happen in the succeeding Plaquemine Mississippian period . The culture was originally defined by the unique decoration on grog - tempered ceramic ware by James A. Ford after his investigations at the Mazique Archeological Site . He had studied both the Mazique and Coles Creek Sites , and almost went with the Mazique culture , but decided on the less historically involved sites name . It is ancestral to the Plaquemine culture . The Great House at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument . Hohokam culture : The Hohokam was a culture centered along American Southwest . The early Hohokam founded a series of small villages along the middle Gila River . They raised corn , squash and beans . The communities were located near good arable land , with dry farming common in the earlier years of this period . They were known for their pottery , using the paddle - and - anvil technique . The Classical period of the culture saw the rise in architecture and ceramics . Buildings were grouped into walled compounds , as well as earthen platform mounds . Platform mounds were built along river as well as irrigation canal systems , suggesting these sites were administrative centers allocating water and coordinating canal labor . Polychrome pottery appeared , and inhumation burial replaced cremation . Trade included that of shells and other exotics . Social and climatic factors led to a decline and abandonment of the area after 1400 A.D.

Cliff Palace , Mesa Verde National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Taos Pueblo , a UNESCO World Heritage site , is an Ancient Pueblo belonging to a Native American tribe of Pueblo people , marking the cultural development in the region during the Pre-Columbian era . White House Ruins , Canyon de Chelly National Monument Ancestral Puebloan culture : The Ancestral Puebloan culture covered present - day Four Corners region of the United States , comprising southern Utah , northern Arizona , northwestern New Mexico , and southwestern Colorado . It is believed that the Ancestral Puebloans developed , at least in part , from the Oshara Tradition , who developed from the Picosa culture . They lived in a range of structures that included small family pit houses , larger clan type structures , grand pueblos , and cliff sited dwellings . The Ancestral Puebloans possessed a complex network that stretched across the Colorado Plateau linking hundreds of communities and population centers . The culture is perhaps best known for the stone and earth dwellings built along cliff walls , particularly during the Pueblo II and Pueblo III eras . Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in the United States are credited to the Pueblos : Mesa Verde National Park , Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Taos Pueblo . The best - preserved examples of the stone dwellings are in National Parks , examples being , Navajo National Monument , Chaco Culture National Historical Park , Mesa Verde National Park , Canyons of the Ancients National Monument , Aztec Ruins National Monument , Bandelier National Monument , Hovenweep National Monument , and Canyon de Chelly National Monument .

A human head effigy pot from the Nodena Site . Mississippian culture : The Mississippian culture which extended throughout the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and built sites throughout the Southeast , created the largest earthworks in North America north of Mexico , most notably at Cahokia , on a tributary of the Mississippi River in present - day Illinois . The ten - story Monks Mound at Cahokia has a larger circumference than the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan or the Great Pyramid of Egypt . The 6 square miles ( 16 km ) city complex was based on the culture 's cosmology ; it included more than 100 mounds , positioned to support their sophisticated knowledge of astronomy , and built with knowledge of varying soil types . The society began building at this site about 950 CE , and reached its peak population in 1,250 CE of 20,000 -- 30,000 people , which was not equalled by any city in the present - day United States until after 1800 . Cahokia was a major regional chiefdom , with trade and tributary chiefdoms located in a range of areas from bordering the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico . Kincaid c. 1050 -- 1400 AD , is one of the largest settlements of the Mississippian culture , it was located at the southern tip of present - day U.S. state of Illinois . Kincaid Mounds has been notable for both its significant role in native North American prehistory and for the central role the site has played in the development of modern archaeological techniques . The site had at least 11 substructure platform mounds ( ranking fifth for mound - culture pyramids ) . Artifacts from the settlement link its major habitation and the construction of the mounds to the Mississippian period , but it was also occupied earlier during the Woodland period . The Mississippian culture developed the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex , the name which archeologists have given to the regional stylistic similarity of artifacts , iconography , ceremonies and mythology . The rise of the complex culture was based on the people 's adoption of maize agriculture , development of greater population densities , and chiefdom - level complex social organization from 1200 CE to 1650 CE . The Mississippian pottery are some of the finest and most widely spread ceramics north of Mexico . Cahokian pottery was especially fine , with smooth surfaces , very thin walls and distinctive tempering , slips and coloring . Map of the Five Nations of the Iroquois ( from the Darlington Collection ) . Iroquois Culture : The Iroquois League of Nations or `` People of the Long House '' , based in present - day upstate and western New York , had a confederacy model from the mid-15th century . It has been suggested that their culture contributed to political thinking during the development of the later United States government . Their system of affiliation was a kind of federation , different from the strong , centralized European monarchies . Leadership was restricted to a group of 50 sachem chiefs , each representing one clan within a tribe . The Oneida and Mohawk people had nine seats each ; the Onondagas held fourteen ; the Cayuga had ten seats ; and the Seneca had eight . Representation was not based on population numbers , as the Seneca tribe greatly outnumbered the others . When a sachem chief died , his successor was chosen by the senior woman of his tribe in consultation with other female members of the clan ; property and hereditary leadership were passed matrilineally . Decisions were not made through voting but through consensus decision making , with each sachem chief holding theoretical veto power . The Onondaga were the `` firekeepers '' , responsible for raising topics to be discussed . They occupied one side of a three - sided fire ( the Mohawk and Seneca sat on one side of the fire , the Oneida and Cayuga sat on the third side . ) Elizabeth Tooker , an anthropologist , has said that it was unlikely the U.S. founding fathers were inspired by the confederacy , as it bears little resemblance to the system of governance adopted in the United States . For example , it is based on inherited rather than elected leadership , selected by female members of the tribes , consensus decision - making regardless of population size of the tribes , and a single group capable of bringing matters before the legislative body . Long - distance trading did not prevent warfare and displacement among the indigenous peoples , and their oral histories tell of numerous migrations to the historic territories where Europeans encountered them . The Iroquois invaded and attacked tribes in the Ohio River area of present - day Kentucky and claimed the hunting grounds . Historians have placed these events as occurring as early as the 13th century , or in the 17th - century Beaver Wars . Through warfare , the Iroquois drove several tribes to migrate west to what became known as their historically traditional lands west of the Mississippi River . Tribes originating in the Ohio Valley who moved west included the Osage , Kaw , Ponca and Omaha people . By the mid-17th century , they had resettled in their historical lands in present - day Kansas , Nebraska , Arkansas and Oklahoma . The Osage warred with Caddo - speaking Native Americans , displacing them in turn by the mid-18th century and dominating their new historical territories . Native development in Hawaii ( edit ) Kamehameha I , founder of the Kingdom of Hawaii . Main article : History of Hawaii Native development in Hawaii begins with the settlement of Polynesians between 1st century to 10th century . Around 1200 AD Tahitian explorers found and began settling the area as well . This became the rise of the Hawaiian civilization and would be separated from the rest of the world for another 500 years until the arrival of the British . Europeans under the British explorer Captain James Cook arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1778 . Within five years of contact , European military technology would help Kamehameha I conquer most of the people , and eventually unify the islands for the first time ; establishing the Kingdom of Hawaii . Colonial period ( edit ) Main article : Colonial history of the United States European territorial claims in North America , c. 1750 France Great Britain Spain After a period of exploration sponsored by major European nations , the first successful English settlement was established in 1607 . Europeans brought horses , cattle , and hogs to the Americas and , in turn , took back to Europe maize , turkeys , potatoes , tobacco , beans , and squash . Many explorers and early settlers died after being exposed to new diseases in the Americas . The effects of new Eurasian diseases carried by the colonists , especially smallpox and measles , were much worse for the Native Americans , as they had no immunity to them . They suffered epidemics and died in very large numbers , usually before large - scale European settlement began . Their societies were disrupted and hollowed out by the scale of deaths . Spanish , Dutch , and French colonization ( edit ) Main articles : Spanish colonization of the Americas , Dutch colonization of the Americas , and French colonization of the Americas Spanish explorers were the first Europeans with Christopher Columbus ' second expedition , to reach Puerto Rico on November 19 , 1493 ; others reached Florida in 1513 . Spanish expeditions quickly reached the Appalachian Mountains , the Mississippi River , the Grand Canyon and the Great Plains . In 1540 , Hernando de Soto undertook an extensive exploration of the Southeast . In 1540 , Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explored from Arizona to central Kansas . Small Spanish settlements eventually grew to become important cities , such as San Antonio , Texas ; Albuquerque , New Mexico ; Tucson , Arizona ; Los Angeles , California ; and San Francisco , California . New Netherland was a 17th - century Dutch colony centered on present - day New York City and the Hudson River Valley ; the Dutch traded furs with the Native Americans to the north . The colony served as a barrier to expansion from New England . Despite being Calvinists and building the Reformed Church in America , the Dutch were tolerant of other religions and cultures . The colony , which was taken over by Britain in 1664 , left an enduring legacy on American cultural and political life . This includes secular broad - mindedness and mercantile pragmatism in the city as well as rural traditionalism in the countryside ( typified by the story of Rip Van Winkle ) . Notable Americans of Dutch descent include Martin Van Buren , Theodore Roosevelt , Franklin D. Roosevelt , Eleanor Roosevelt and the Frelinghuysens . New France was the area colonized by France from 1534 to 1763 . There were few permanent settlers outside Quebec and Acadia , but the French had far - reaching trading relationships with Native Americans throughout the Great Lakes and Midwest . French villages along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers were based in farming communities that served as a granary for Gulf Coast settlements . The French established plantations in Louisiana along with settling New Orleans , Mobile and Biloxi . The Wabanaki Confederacy were military allies of New France through the four French and Indian Wars while the British colonies were allied with the Iroquois Confederacy . During the French and Indian War -- the North American theater of the Seven Years ' War -- New England fought successfully against French Acadia . The British removed Acadians from Acadia ( Nova Scotia ) and replaced them with New England Planters . Eventually , some Acadians resettled in Louisiana , where they developed a distinctive rural Cajun culture that still exists . They became American citizens in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase . Other French villages along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers were absorbed when the Americans started arriving after 1770 , or settlers moved west to escape them . French influence and language in New Orleans , Louisiana and the Gulf Coast was more enduring ; New Orleans was notable for its large population of free people of color before the Civil War . British colonization ( edit ) Further information : British colonization of the Americas The Mayflower , which transported Pilgrims to the New World . During the first winter at Plymouth , about half of the Pilgrims died . The strip of land along the eastern seacoast was settled primarily by English colonists in the 17th century along with much smaller numbers of Dutch and Swedes . Colonial America was defined by a severe labor shortage that employed forms of unfree labor such as slavery and indentured servitude and by a British policy of benign neglect ( salutary neglect ) . Over half of all European immigrants to Colonial America arrived as indentured servants . Salutary neglect permitted the development of an American spirit distinct from that of its European founders . Squanto known for having been an early liaison between the native populations in Southern New England and the Mayflower settlers , who made their settlement at the site of Squanto 's former summer village . The first successful English colony , Jamestown , was established in 1607 on the James River in Virginia . Jamestown languished for decades until a new wave of settlers arrived in the late 17th century and established commercial agriculture based on tobacco . Between the late 1610s and the Revolution , the British shipped an estimated 50,000 to 120,000 convicts to their American colonies . A severe instance of conflict was the 1622 Powhatan uprising in Virginia in which Native Americans killed hundreds of English settlers . The largest conflicts between Native Americans and English settlers in the 17th century were King Philip 's War in New England and the Yamasee War in South Carolina . Jennie Augusta Brownscombe , The First Thanksgiving at Plymouth , 1914 , Pilgrim Hall Museum , Plymouth , Massachusetts New England was initially settled primarily by Puritans . The Pilgrims established a settlement in 1620 at Plymouth Colony , which was followed by the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630 . The Middle Colonies , consisting of the present - day states of New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , and Delaware , were characterized by a large degree of diversity . The first attempted English settlement south of Virginia was the Province of Carolina , with Georgia Colony -- the last of the Thirteen Colonies -- established in 1733 . The Indian massacre of Jamestown settlers in 1622 . Soon the colonists in the South feared all natives as enemies . The colonies were characterized by people primarily of the Judeo - Christian faiths , with many Congregationalists in New England , German and Dutch Reformed in the Middle Colonies , Catholics in Maryland , and Scots - Irish Presbyterians on the frontier . Sephardic Jews were among early settlers in cities of New England and the South . Many immigrants arrived as religious refugees : French Huguenots settled in New York , Virginia and the Carolinas . Many royal officials and merchants were Anglicans . Religiosity expanded greatly after the First Great Awakening , a religious revival in the 1740s led by preachers such as Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield . American Evangelicals affected by the Awakening added a new emphasis on divine outpourings of the Holy Spirit and conversions that implanted within new believers an intense love for God . Revivals encapsulated those hallmarks and carried the newly created evangelicalism into the early republic , setting the stage for the Second Great Awakening beginning in the late 1790s . In the early stages , evangelicals in the South such as Methodists and Baptists preached for religious freedom and abolition of slavery ; they converted many slaves and recognized some as preachers . John Gadsby Chapman , The Baptism of Pocahontas ( 1840 ) . A copy is on display in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol . Each of the 13 American colonies had a slightly different governmental structure . Typically , a colony was ruled by a governor appointed from London who controlled the executive administration and relied upon a locally elected legislature to vote taxes and make laws . By the 18th century , the American colonies were growing very rapidly as a result of low death rates along with ample supplies of land and food . The colonies were richer than most parts of Britain , and attracted a steady flow of immigrants , especially teenagers who arrived as indentured servants . The tobacco and rice plantations imported African slaves for labor from the British colonies in the West Indies , and by the 1770s African slaves comprised a fifth of the American population . The question of independence from Britain did not arise as long as the colonies needed British military support against the French and Spanish powers . Those threats were gone by 1765 . London regarded the American colonies as existing for the benefit of the mother country . This policy is known as mercantilism . 18th century ( edit ) Map of the British and French settlements in North America in 1750 , before the French and Indian War An upper - class , with wealth based on large plantations operated by slave labor , and holding significant political power and even control over the churches , emerged in South Carolina and Virginia . A unique class system operated in upstate New York , where Dutch tenant farmers rented land from very wealthy Dutch proprietors , such as the Rensselaer family . The other colonies were more equalitarian , with Pennsylvania being representative . By the mid-18th century Pennsylvania was basically a middle - class colony with limited deference to its small upper - class . A writer in the Pennsylvania Journal in 1756 summed it up : The People of this Province are generally of the middling Sort , and at present pretty much upon a Level . They are chiefly industrious Farmers , Artificers or Men in Trade ; they enjoy in are fond of Freedom , and the meanest among them thinks he has a right to Civility from the greatest . Political integration and autonomy ( edit ) Join , or Die : This 1756 political cartoon by Benjamin Franklin urged the colonies to join together during the French and Indian War . The French and Indian War ( 1754 -- 63 ) was a watershed event in the political development of the colonies . It was also part of the larger Seven Years ' War . The influence of the main rivals of the British Crown in the colonies and Canada , the French and North American Indians , was significantly reduced with the territory of the Thirteen Colonies expanding into New France both in Canada and the Louisiana Territory . Moreover , the war effort resulted in greater political integration of the colonies , as reflected in the Albany Congress and symbolized by Benjamin Franklin 's call for the colonies to `` Join or Die '' . Franklin was a man of many inventions -- one of which was the concept of a United States of America , which emerged after 1765 and was realized in July 1776 . Following Britain 's acquisition of French territory in North America , King George III issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763 with the goal of organizing the new North American empire and protecting the native Indians from colonial expansion into western lands beyond the Appalachian Mountains . In ensuing years , strains developed in the relations between the colonists and the Crown . The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act of 1765 , imposing a tax on the colonies without going through the colonial legislatures . The issue was drawn : did Parliament have this right to tax Americans who were not represented in it ? Crying `` No taxation without representation '' , the colonists refused to pay the taxes as tensions escalated in the late 1760s and early 1770s . An 1846 painting of the 1773 Boston Tea Party . The population density in the American Colonies in 1775 . The Boston Tea Party in 1773 was a direct action by activists in the town of Boston to protest against the new tax on tea . Parliament quickly responded the next year with the Coercive Acts , stripping Massachusetts of its historic right of self - government and putting it under army rule , which sparked outrage and resistance in all thirteen colonies . Patriot leaders from all 13 colonies convened the First Continental Congress to coordinate their resistance to the Coercive Acts . The Congress called for a boycott of British trade , published a list of rights and grievances , and petitioned the king for redress of those grievances . The appeal to the Crown had no effect , and so the Second Continental Congress was convened in 1775 to organize the defense of the colonies against the British Army . Ordinary folk became insurgents against the British even though they were unfamiliar with the ideological rationales being offered . They held very strongly a sense of `` rights '' that they felt the British were deliberately violating -- rights that stressed local autonomy , fair dealing , and government by consent . They were highly sensitive to the issue of tyranny , which they saw manifested in the arrival in Boston of the British Army to punish the Bostonians . This heightened their sense of violated rights , leading to rage and demands for revenge . They had faith that God was on their side . The American Revolutionary War began at Concord and Lexington in April 1775 when the British tried to seize ammunition supplies and arrest the Patriot leaders . In terms of political values , the Americans were largely united on a concept called Republicanism , that rejected aristocracy and emphasized civic duty and a fear of corruption . For the Founding Fathers , according to one team of historians , `` republicanism represented more than a particular form of government . It was a way of life , a core ideology , an uncompromising commitment to liberty , and a total rejection of aristocracy . '' American Revolution ( edit ) Main articles : American Revolution and History of the United States ( 1776 -- 89 ) See also : Commemoration of the American Revolution Washington 's surprise crossing of the Delaware River in Dec. 1776 was a major comeback after the loss of New York City ; his army defeated the British in two battles and recaptured New Jersey . The Thirteen Colonies began a rebellion against British rule in 1775 and proclaimed their independence in 1776 as the United States of America . In the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 -- 83 ) the Americans captured the British invasion army at Saratoga in 1777 , secured the Northeast and encouraged the French to make a military alliance with the United States . France brought in Spain and the Netherlands , thus balancing the military and naval forces on each side as Britain had no allies . General George Washington ( 1732 -- 99 ) proved an excellent organizer and administrator , who worked successfully with Congress and the state governors , selecting and mentoring his senior officers , supporting and training his troops , and maintaining an idealistic Republican Army . His biggest challenge was logistics , since neither Congress nor the states had the funding to provide adequately for the equipment , munitions , clothing , paychecks , or even the food supply of the soldiers . As a battlefield tactician , Washington was often outmaneuvered by his British counterparts . As a strategist , however , he had a better idea of how to win the war than they did . The British sent four invasion armies . Washington 's strategy forced the first army out of Boston in 1776 , and was responsible for the surrender of the second and third armies at Saratoga ( 1777 ) and Yorktown ( 1781 ) . He limited the British control to New York City and a few places while keeping Patriot control of the great majority of the population . Trumbull 's Declaration of Independence The Loyalists , whom the British counted upon too heavily , comprised about 20 % of the population but never were well organized . As the war ended , Washington watched proudly as the final British army quietly sailed out of New York City in November 1783 , taking the Loyalist leadership with them . Washington astonished the world when , instead of seizing power for himself , he retired quietly to his farm in Virginia . Political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset observes , `` The United States was the first major colony successfully to revolt against colonial rule . In this sense , it was the first ' new nation ' . '' On July 2 , 1776 , the Second Continental Congress , meeting in Philadelphia , declared the independence of the colonies by adopting the resolution from Richard Henry Lee , that stated : That these United Colonies are , and of right out to be , free and independent States , that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown , and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is , and ought to be , totally dissolved ; that measures should be immediately taken for procuring the assistance of foreign powers , and a Confederation be formed to bind the colonies more closely together . . On July 4 , 1776 they adopted the Declaration of Independence and this date is celebrated as the nation 's birthday . Historian George Billias says : Independence amounted to a new status of interdependence : the United States was now a sovereign nation entitled to the privileges and responsibilities that came with that status . America thus became a member of the international community , which meant becoming a maker of treaties and alliances , a military ally in diplomacy , and a partner in foreign trade on a more equal basis . On September 9 , 1776 , Congress officially changed the nation 's name to the United States of America . Until this point , the nation was known as the `` United Colonies of America '' The new nation was founded on Enlightenment ideals of liberalism in what Thomas Jefferson called the unalienable rights to `` life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness '' , and dedicated strongly to republican principles . Republicanism emphasized the people are sovereign ( not hereditary kings ) , demanded civic duty , feared corruption , and rejected any aristocracy . Early years of the Republic ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1789 -- 1849 ) See also : First Party System and Second Party System Confederation and Constitution ( edit ) Further information : Articles of Confederation and History of the United States Constitution Economic growth in America per capita income . Index with 1700 set as 100 . In the 1780s the national government was able to settle the issue of the western territories , which were ceded by the states to Congress and became territories . With the migration of settlers to the Northwest , soon they became states . Nationalists worried that the new nation was too fragile to withstand an international war , or even internal revolts such as the Shays ' Rebellion of 1786 in Massachusetts . Nationalists -- most of them war veterans -- organized in every state and convinced Congress to call the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 . The delegates from every state wrote a new Constitution that created a much more powerful and efficient central government , one with a strong president , and powers of taxation . The new government reflected the prevailing republican ideals of guarantees of individual liberty and of constraining the power of government through a system of separation of powers . The Congress was given authority to ban the international slave trade after 20 years ( which it did in 1807 ) . A compromise gave the South Congressional apportionment out of proportion to its free population by allowing it to include three - fifths of the number of slaves in each state 's total population . This provision increased the political power of southern representatives in Congress , especially as slavery was extended into the Deep South through removal of Native Americans and transportation of slaves by an extensive domestic trade . To assuage the Anti-Federalists who feared a too - powerful national government , the nation adopted the United States Bill of Rights in 1791 . Comprising the first ten amendments of the Constitution , it guaranteed individual liberties such as freedom of speech and religious practice , jury trials , and stated that citizens and states had reserved rights ( which were not specified ) . President George Washington ( edit ) George Washington legacy remains among the two or three greatest in American history , as Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army , hero of the Revolution , and the first President of the United States . George Washington -- a renowned hero of the American Revolutionary War , commander - in - chief of the Continental Army , and president of the Constitutional Convention -- became the first President of the United States under the new Constitution in 1789 . The national capital moved from New York to Philadelphia in 1790 and finally settled in Washington DC in 1800 . The major accomplishments of the Washington Administration were creating a strong national government that was recognized without question by all Americans . His government , following the vigorous leadership of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton , assumed the debts of the states ( the debt holders received federal bonds ) , created the Bank of the United States to stabilize the financial system , and set up a uniform system of tariffs ( taxes on imports ) and other taxes to pay off the debt and provide a financial infrastructure . To support his programs Hamilton created a new political party -- the first in the world based on voters -- the Federalist Party . Thomas Jefferson and James Madison formed an opposition Republican Party ( usually called the Democratic - Republican Party by political scientists ) . Hamilton and Washington presented the country in 1794 with the Jay Treaty that reestablished good relations with Britain . The Jeffersonians vehemently protested , and the voters aligned behind one party or the other , thus setting up the First Party System . Depiction of election - day activities in Philadelphia by John Lewis Krimmel , 1815 Federalists promoted business , financial and commercial interests and wanted more trade with Britain . Republicans accused the Federalists of plans to establish a monarchy , turn the rich into a ruling class , and making the United States a pawn of the British . The treaty passed , but politics became intensely heated . The Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 , when western settlers protested against a federal tax on liquor , was the first serious test of the federal government . Washington called out the state militia and personally led an army , as the insurgents melted away and the power of the national government was firmly established . Washington refused to serve more than two terms -- setting a precedent -- and in his famous farewell address , he extolled the benefits of federal government and importance of ethics and morality while warning against foreign alliances and the formation of political parties . John Adams , a Federalist , defeated Jefferson in the 1796 election . War loomed with France and the Federalists used the opportunity to try to silence the Republicans with the Alien and Sedition Acts , build up a large army with Hamilton at the head , and prepare for a French invasion . However , the Federalists became divided after Adams sent a successful peace mission to France that ended the Quasi-War of 1798 . Slavery ( edit ) Main article : Slavery in the United States Slaves Waiting for Sale : Richmond , Virginia . Painted upon the sketch of 1853 During the first two decades after the Revolutionary War , there were dramatic changes in the status of slavery among the states and an increase in the number of freed blacks . Inspired by revolutionary ideals of the equality of men and influenced by their lesser economic reliance on slavery , northern states abolished slavery . States of the Upper South made manumission easier , resulting in an increase in the proportion of free blacks in the Upper South ( as a percentage of the total non-white population ) from less than one percent in 1792 to more than 10 percent by 1810 . By that date , a total of 13.5 percent of all blacks in the United States were free . After that date , with the demand for slaves on the rise because of the Deep South 's expanding cotton cultivation , the number of manumissions declined sharply ; and an internal U.S. slave trade became an important source of wealth for many planters and traders . In 1809 , president James Madison severed the US 's involvement with the Atlantic slave trade . 19th century ( edit ) Jeffersonian Republican Era ( edit ) Jefferson saw himself as a man of the frontier and a scientist ; he was keenly interested in expanding and exploring the West . Jefferson 's major achievement as president was the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 , which provided U.S. settlers with vast potential for expansion west of the Mississippi River . Jefferson , a scientist himself , supported expeditions to explore and map the new domain , most notably the Lewis and Clark Expedition . Jefferson believed deeply in republicanism and argued it should be based on the independent yeoman farmer and planter ; he distrusted cities , factories and banks . He also distrusted the federal government and judges , and tried to weaken the judiciary . However he met his match in John Marshall , a Federalist from Virginia . Although the Constitution specified a Supreme Court , its functions were vague until Marshall , the Chief Justice ( 1801 -- 35 ) , defined them , especially the power to overturn acts of Congress or states that violated the Constitution , first enunciated in 1803 in Marbury v. Madison . War of 1812 ( edit ) Main article : War of 1812 Territorial expansion ; Louisiana Purchase in white . Thomas Jefferson defeated Adams for the presidency in the 1800 election . Americans were increasingly angry at the British violation of American ships ' neutral rights in order to hurt France , the impressment ( seizure ) of 10,000 American sailors needed by the Royal Navy to fight Napoleon , and British support for hostile Indians attacking American settlers in the Midwest . They may also have desired to annex all or part of British North America . Despite strong opposition from the Northeast , especially from Federalists who did not want to disrupt trade with Britain , Congress declared war on June 18 , 1812 . Oliver Hazard Perry 's message to William Henry Harrison after the Battle of Lake Erie began with what would become one of the most famous sentences in American military history : `` We have met the enemy and they are ours '' . This 1865 painting by William H. Powell shows Perry transferring to a different ship during the battle . The war was frustrating for both sides . Both sides tried to invade the other and were repulsed . The American high command remained incompetent until the last year . The American militia proved ineffective because the soldiers were reluctant to leave home and efforts to invade Canada repeatedly failed . The British blockade ruined American commerce , bankrupted the Treasury , and further angered New Englanders , who smuggled supplies to Britain . The Americans under General William Henry Harrison finally gained naval control of Lake Erie and defeated the Indians under Tecumseh in Canada , while Andrew Jackson ended the Indian threat in the Southeast . The Indian threat to expansion into the Midwest was permanently ended . The British invaded and occupied much of Maine . The British raided and burned Washington , but were repelled at Baltimore in 1814 -- where the `` Star Spangled Banner '' was written to celebrate the American success . In upstate New York a major British invasion of New York State was turned back . Finally in early 1815 Andrew Jackson decisively defeated a major British invasion at the Battle of New Orleans , making him the most famous war hero . With Napoleon ( apparently ) gone , the causes of the war had evaporated and both sides agreed to a peace that left the prewar boundaries intact . Americans claimed victory on February 18 , 1815 as news came almost simultaneously of Jackson 's victory of New Orleans and the peace treaty that left the prewar boundaries in place . Americans swelled with pride at success in the `` second war of independence '' ; the naysayers of the antiwar Federalist Party were put to shame and the party never recovered . The Indians were the big losers ; they never gained the independent nationhood Britain had promised and no longer posed a serious threat as settlers poured into the Midwest . Era of good feelings ( edit ) Main article : Era of Good Feelings Era of Good Feelings As strong opponents of the war , the Federalists held the Hartford Convention in 1814 that hinted at disunion . National euphoria after the victory at New Orleans ruined the prestige of the Federalists and they no longer played a significant role as a political party . President Madison and most Republicans realized they were foolish to let the Bank of the United States close down , for its absence greatly hindered the financing of the war . So , with the assistance of foreign bankers , they chartered the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 . Settlers crossing the Plains of Nebraska . The Republicans also imposed tariffs designed to protect the infant industries that had been created when Britain was blockading the U.S. With the collapse of the Federalists as a party , the adoption of many Federalist principles by the Republicans , and the systematic policy of President James Monroe in his two terms ( 1817 -- 25 ) to downplay partisanship , the nation entered an Era of Good Feelings , with far less partisanship than before ( or after ) , and closed out the First Party System . The Monroe Doctrine , expressed in 1823 , proclaimed the United States ' opinion that European powers should no longer colonize or interfere in the Americas . This was a defining moment in the foreign policy of the United States . The Monroe Doctrine was adopted in response to American and British fears over Russian and French expansion into the Western Hemisphere . In 1832 , President Andrew Jackson , 7th President of the United States , ran for a second term under the slogan `` Jackson and no bank '' and did not renew the charter of the Second Bank of the United States of America , ending the Bank in 1836 . Jackson was convinced that central banking was used by the elite to take advantage of the average American , and instead implemented state banks , popularly known as `` pet banks . '' Indian removal ( edit ) Main article : Indian removal The Indian Removal Act resulted in the transplantation of several Native American tribes and the Trail of Tears . In 1830 , Congress passed the Indian Removal Act , which authorized the president to negotiate treaties that exchanged Native American tribal lands in the eastern states for lands west of the Mississippi River . Its goal was primarily to remove Native Americans , including the Five Civilized Tribes , from the American Southeast ; they occupied land that settlers wanted . Jacksonian Democrats demanded the forcible removal of native populations who refused to acknowledge state laws to reservations in the West ; Whigs and religious leaders opposed the move as inhumane . Thousands of deaths resulted from the relocations , as seen in the Cherokee Trail of Tears . Many of the Seminole Indians in Florida refused to move west ; they fought the Army for years in the Seminole Wars . Second Party system ( edit ) Main articles : Second Party System and Presidency of Andrew Jackson Henry Clay After the First Party System of Federalists and Republicans withered away in the 1820s , the stage was set for the emergence of a new party system based on well organized local parties that appealed for the votes of ( almost ) all adult white men . The former Jeffersonian ( Democratic - Republican ) party split into factions . They split over the choice of a successor to President James Monroe , and the party faction that supported many of the old Jeffersonian principles , led by Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren , became the Democratic Party . As Norton explains the transformation in 1828 : Jacksonians believed the people 's will had finally prevailed . Through a lavishly financed coalition of state parties , political leaders , and newspaper editors , a popular movement had elected the president . The Democrats became the nation 's first well - organized national party ... and tight party organization became the hallmark of nineteenth - century American politics . Opposing factions led by Henry Clay helped form the Whig Party . The Democratic Party had a small but decisive advantage over the Whigs until the 1850s , when the Whigs fell apart over the issue of slavery . Behind the platforms issued by state and national parties stood a widely shared political outlook that characterized the Democrats : Horace Greeley 's New York Tribune -- the leading Whig paper -- endorsed Clay for President and Fillmore for Governor , 1844 . The Democrats represented a wide range of views but shared a fundamental commitment to the Jeffersonian concept of an agrarian society . They viewed the central government as the enemy of individual liberty . The 1824 `` corrupt bargain '' had strengthened their suspicion of Washington politics ... Jacksonians feared the concentration of economic and political power . They believed that government intervention in the economy benefited special - interest groups and created corporate monopolies that favored the rich . They sought to restore the independence of the individual ( the `` common man , '' i.e. the artisan and the ordinary farmer ) by ending federal support of banks and corporations and restricting the use of paper currency , which they distrusted . Their definition of the proper role of government tended to be negative , and Jackson 's political power was largely expressed in negative acts . He exercised the veto more than all previous presidents combined . Jackson and his supporters also opposed reform as a movement . Reformers eager to turn their programs into legislation called for a more active government . But Democrats tended to oppose programs like educational reform mid the establishment of a public education system . They believed , for instance , that public schools restricted individual liberty by interfering with parental responsibility and undermined freedom of religion by replacing church schools . Nor did Jackson share reformers ' humanitarian concerns . He had no sympathy for American Indians , initiating the removal of the Cherokees along the Trail of Tears . Second Great Awakening ( edit ) Main article : Second Great Awakening A drawing of a Protestant camp meeting , 1829 . The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant revival movement that affected the entire nation during the early 19th century and led to rapid church growth . The movement began around 1790 , gained momentum by 1800 , and , after 1820 membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations , whose preachers led the movement . It was past its peak by the 1840s . It enrolled millions of new members in existing evangelical denominations and led to the formation of new denominations . Many converts believed that the Awakening heralded a new millennial age . The Second Great Awakening stimulated the establishment of many reform movements -- including abolitionism and temperance designed to remove the evils of society before the anticipated Second Coming of Jesus Christ . Abolitionism ( edit ) Main article : Abolitionism in the United States Officers and men of the Irish - Catholic 69th New York Volunteer Regiment attend Catholic services in 1861 . After 1840 the abolitionist movement redefined itself as a crusade against the sin of slave ownership . It mobilized support ( especially among religious women in the Northeast affected by the Second Great Awakening ) . William Lloyd Garrison , a radical abolitionist , published the most influential of the many anti-slavery newspapers , The Liberator , while Frederick Douglass , an ex-slave , began writing for that newspaper around 1840 and started his own abolitionist newspaper North Star in 1847 . The great majority of anti-slavery activists , such as Abraham Lincoln , rejected Garrison 's theology and held that slavery was an unfortunate social evil , not a sin . Westward expansion and manifest Destiny ( edit ) Main article : American frontier The American colonies and the new nation grew rapidly in population and area , as pioneers pushed the frontier of settlement west . The process finally ended around 1890 -- 1912 as the last major farmlands and ranch lands were settled . Native American tribes in some places resisted militarily , but they were overwhelmed by settlers and the army and after 1830 were relocated to reservations in the west . The highly influential `` Frontier Thesis '' of Wisconsin historian Frederick Jackson Turner argues that the frontier shaped the national character , with its boldness , violence , innovation , individualism , and democracy . The California Gold Rush news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad . Recent historians have emphasized the multicultural nature of the frontier . Enormous popular attention in the media focuses on the `` Wild West '' of the second half of the 19th century . As defined by Hine and Faragher , `` frontier history tells the story of the creation and defense of communities , the use of the land , the development of markets , and the formation of states '' . They explain , `` It is a tale of conquest , but also one of survival , persistence , and the merging of peoples and cultures that gave birth and continuing life to America . '' The first settlers in the west were the Spanish in New Mexico ; they became U.S. citizens in 1848 . The Hispanics in California ( `` Californios '' ) were overwhelmed by over 100,000 gold rush miners . California grew explosively . San Francisco by 1880 had become the economic hub of the entire Pacific Coast with a diverse population of a quarter million . From the early 1830s to 1869 , the Oregon Trail and its many offshoots were used by over 300,000 settlers . ' 49ers ( in the California Gold Rush ) , ranchers , farmers , and entrepreneurs and their families headed to California , Oregon , and other points in the far west . Wagon - trains took five or six months on foot ; after 1869 , the trip took 6 days by rail . Manifest Destiny was the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across the continent . This concept was born out of `` A sense of mission to redeem the Old World by high example ... generated by the potentialities of a new earth for building a new heaven . '' Manifest Destiny was rejected by modernizers , especially the Whigs like Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln who wanted to build cities and factories -- not more farms . Democrats strongly favored expansion , and won the key election of 1844 . After a bitter debate in Congress the Republic of Texas was annexed in 1845 , leading to war with Mexico , who considered Texas to be a part of Mexico due to the large numbers of Mexican settlers . The American occupation of Mexico City in 1848 The Mexican -- American War ( 1846 -- 48 ) broke out with the Whigs opposed to the war , and the Democrats supporting the war . The U.S. army , using regulars and large numbers of volunteers , defeated the Mexican armies , invaded at several points , captured Mexico City and won decisively . The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ended the war in 1848 . Many Democrats wanted to annex all of Mexico , but that idea was rejected by southerners who argued that by incorporating millions of Mexican people , mainly of mixed race , would undermine the United States as an exclusively white republic . Instead the U.S. took Texas and the lightly settled northern parts ( California and New Mexico ) . The Hispanic residents were given full citizenship and the Mexican Indians became American Indians . Simultaneously , gold was discovered in California in 1849 , attracting over 100,000 men to northern California in a matter of months in the California Gold Rush . A peaceful compromise with Britain gave the U.S. ownership of the Oregon Country , which was renamed the Oregon Territory . Divisions between North and South ( edit ) Main articles : Origins of the American Civil War and History of the United States ( 1849 -- 65 ) United States map , 1863 Union states Union territories not permitting slavery Border Union states , permitting slavery Confederate states Union territories permitting slavery ( claimed by Confederacy ) The central issue after 1848 was the expansion of slavery , pitting the anti-slavery elements in the North , against the pro-slavery elements that dominated the South . A small number of active Northerners were abolitionists who declared that ownership of slaves was a sin ( in terms of Protestant theology ) and demanded its immediate abolition . Much larger numbers in the North were against the expansion of slavery , seeking to put it on the path to extinction so that America would be committed to free land ( as in low - cost farms owned and cultivated by a family ) , free labor , and free speech ( as opposed to censorship of abolitionist material in the South ) . Southern whites insisted that slavery was of economic , social , and cultural benefit to all whites ( and even to the slaves themselves ) , and denounced all anti-slavery spokesmen as `` abolitionists . '' Justifications of slavery included economics , history , religion , legality , social good , and even humanitarianism , to further their arguments . Defenders of slavery argued that the sudden end to the slave economy would have had a profound and killing economic impact in the South where reliance on slave labor was the foundation of their economy . They also argued that if all the slaves were freed , there would be widespread unemployment and chaos . Religious activists split on slavery , with the Methodists and Baptists dividing into northern and southern denominations . In the North , the Methodists , Congregationalists , and Quakers included many abolitionists , especially among women activists . ( The Catholic , Episcopal and Lutheran denominations largely ignored the slavery issue . ) The issue of slavery in the new territories was seemingly settled by the Compromise of 1850 , brokered by Whig Henry Clay and Democrat Stephen Douglas ; the Compromise included the admission of California as a free state in exchange for no federal restrictions on slavery placed on Utah or New Mexico . The point of contention was the Fugitive Slave Act , which increased federal enforcement and required even free states to cooperate in turning over fugitive slaves to their owners . Abolitionists pounced on the Act to attack slavery , as in the best - selling anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom 's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe . The Compromise of 1820 was repealed in 1854 with the Kansas -- Nebraska Act , promoted by Senator Douglas in the name of `` popular sovereignty '' and democracy . It permitted voters to decide on the legality slavery in each territory , and allowed Douglas to adopt neutrality on the issue of slavery . Anti-slavery forces rose in anger and alarm , forming the new Republican Party . Pro - and anti - contingents rushed to Kansas to vote slavery up or down , resulting in a miniature civil war called Bleeding Kansas . By the late 1850s , the young Republican Party dominated nearly all northern states and thus the electoral college . It insisted that slavery would never be allowed to expand ( and thus would slowly die out ) . The Southern slavery - based societies had become wealthy based on their cotton and other agricultural commodity production , and some particularly profited from the internal slave trade . Northern cities such as Boston and New York , and regional industries , were tied economically to slavery by banking , shipping , and manufacturing , including textile mills . By 1860 , there were four million slaves in the South , nearly eight times as many as there were nationwide in 1790 . The plantations were highly profitable , due to the heavy European demand for raw cotton . Most of the profits were invested in new lands and in purchasing more slaves ( largely drawn from the declining tobacco regions ) . The United States , immediately before the Civil War . All of the lands east of , or bordering , the Mississippi River were organized as states in the Union , but the West was still largely unsettled . For 50 of the nation 's first 72 years , a slaveholder served as President of the United States and , during that period , only slaveholding presidents were re-elected to second terms . In addition , southern states benefited by their increased apportionment in Congress due to the partial counting of slaves in their populations . Slave rebellions , by Gabriel Prosser ( 1800 ) , Denmark Vesey ( 1822 ) , Nat Turner ( 1831 ) , and most famously by John Brown ( 1859 ) , caused fear in the white South , which imposed stricter oversight of slaves and reduced the rights of free blacks . The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required the states to cooperate with slave owners when attempting to recover escaped slaves , which outraged Northerners . Formerly , an escaped slave that reached a non-slave state was presumed to have attained sanctuary and freedom under the Missouri Compromise . The Supreme Court 's 1857 decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional ; angry Republicans said this decision threatened to make slavery a national institution . After Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 election , seven Southern states seceded from the union and set up a new nation , the Confederate States of America ( Confederacy ) , on February 8 , 1861 . It attacked Fort Sumter , a U.S. Army fort in South Carolina , thus igniting the war . When Lincoln called for troops to suppress the Confederacy in April 1861 , four more states seceded and joined the Confederacy . A few of the ( northernmost ) `` slave states '' did not secede and became known as the border states ; these were Delaware , Maryland , Kentucky , and Missouri . During the war , the northwestern portion of Virginia seceded from the Confederacy . and became the new Union state of West Virginia . West Virginia is usually associated with the border states . Civil War ( edit ) Main article : American Civil War The Union had large advantages in men and resources at the start of the war . The ratio grew steadily in favor of the Union . The Civil War began on April 12 , 1861 , when elements of 100,000 Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina . In response to the attack , on April 15 , Lincoln called on the states to send detachments totaling 75,000 troops to recapture forts , protect the capital , and `` preserve the Union '' , which in his view still existed intact despite the actions of the seceding states . The two armies had their first major clash at the First Battle of Bull Run ( Battle of Manassas ) , ending in a Union defeat , but , more importantly , proved to both the Union and Confederacy that the war would be much longer and bloodier than originally anticipated . Lincoln with Allan Pinkerton and Major General John Alexander McClernand at the Battle of Antietam . The war soon divided into two theaters : Eastern and Western . In the western theater , the Union was relatively successful , with major battles , such as Perryville and Shiloh along with Union gunboat dominance of navigable rivers producing strategic Union victories and destroying major Confederate operations . Warfare in the Eastern theater began poorly for the Union as the Confederates won at Manassas Junction ( Bull Run ) , just outside Washington . Major General George B. McClellan was put in charge of the Union armies . After reorganizing the new Army of the Potomac , McClellan failed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond , Virginia in his Peninsula Campaign and retreated after attacks from newly appointed Confederate General Robert E. Lee . Meanwhile , both sides concentrated in 1861 -- 62 on raising and training new armies . The main action was Union success in controlling the border states , with Confederates largely driven out of Maryland , West Virginia ( a new state ) , Kentucky and Missouri . The autumn 1862 Confederate campaign into Maryland was designed to hurt Union morale and win European support . It ended with Confederate retreat at the Battle of Antietam , and Lincoln 's warning he would issue an Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863 if the states did not return . Making slavery a central war goal Energized Republicans in the North , as well as their enemies , the anti-war Copperhead Democrats . It ended the risk of British and French intervention . Lee 's smaller army won at the Battle of Fredericksburg late in 1862 , causing yet another change in commanders . Lee won again at the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863 , while losing his top aide , Stonewall Jackson . But Lee pushed too hard and ignored the Union threat in the west . Lee invaded Pennsylvania in search of supplies and to cause war - weariness in the North . In perhaps the turning point of the war , Lee 's army was badly beaten at the Battle of Gettysburg , July 1 -- 3 , 1863 , and barely made it back to Virginia . On the homefront , industrial expansion in the North expanded dramatically , using its extensive railroad service , and moving industrial workers into munitions factories . Foreign trade increased , with the United States providing both food and cotton to Britain , And Britain sending in manufactured products and thousands of volunteers for the Union Army ( plus a few to the Confederates ) . The British operated blockade runners bringing in food , luxury items and munitions to the Confederacy , bringing out tobacco and cotton . The Union blockade increasingly shut down Confederate ports , and by late 1864 the blockade runners Were usually captured before they could make more than handful of runs . The Battle of Franklin , November 30 , 1864 . In the West , on July 4 , 1863 , Union forces under the command of General Ulysses S. Grant gained control of the Mississippi River at the Battle of Vicksburg , thereby splitting the Confederacy . Lincoln made General Grant commander of all Union armies . Grant put General William Tecumseh Sherman in charge of the Western armies . In 1864 , Sherman marched south from Chattanooga to capture Atlanta , a decisive victory that ended war jitters among Republicans in the North who feared they might fail to reelect Lincoln in 1864 . Lincoln won a landslide . The last two years of the war were bloody for both sides , With Sherman marching almost unopposed through central and eastern Georgia , then moving up through South Carolina and North Carolina , burning cities , destroying plantations , ruining railroads and bridges , but avoiding civilian casualties . Sherman demonstrated that the South line the long - term ability to resist a northern invasion . Much of the heartland of the Confederacy was physically destroyed , and could no longer provide desperately needed food , horses , mules , wagons , boots or munitions to its combat armies . In spring 1864 Grant , realizing that Lee was unable to replenishes casualties , while Lincoln would provide replacements for Union losses , launched a war of attrition against Lee 's Army of Northern Virginia . This war of attrition was divided into three main campaigns . The first of these , the Overland Campaign forced Lee to retreat into the city of Petersburg where Grant launched his second major offensive , the Richmond - Petersburg Campaign in which he besieged Petersburg . After a near ten - month siege , Petersburg surrendered . However , the defense of Fort Gregg allowed Lee to move his army out of Petersburg . Grant pursued and launched the final , Appomattox Campaign which resulted in Lee surrendering his Army of Northern Virginia numbering 28,000 on April 9 , 1865 , at Appomattox Court House . Other Confederate armies followed suit and the war ended with no postwar insurgency . The American Civil War was the world 's earliest industrial war . Railroads , the telegraph , steamships , and mass - produced weapons were employed extensively . The mobilization of civilian factories , mines , shipyards , banks , transportation and food supplies all foreshadowed the impact of industrialization in World War I. It remains the deadliest war in American history , resulting in the deaths of about 750,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties . About ten percent of all Northern males 20 -- 45 years old , and 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18 -- 40 died . Its legacy includes ending slavery in the United States , restoring the Union , and strengthening the role of the federal government . According to historian Allan Nevins the Civil War had a major long - term impact on the United States in terms of developing its leadership potential and moving the entire nation beyond the adolescent stage : The fighting and its attendant demands upon industry , finance , medicine , and law also helped train a host of leaders who during the next 35 years , to 1900 , made their influence powerfully felt on most of the social , economic , and cultural fronts . It broke down barriers of parochialism ; it ended distrust of large - scale effort ; it hardened and matured the whole people emotionally . The adolescent land of the 1850s ... rose under the blows of battle to adult estate . The nation of the post-Appomattox generation , though sadly hurt ( especially in the South ) by war losses , and deeply scarred psychologically ( especially in the North ) by war hatreds and greeds , had at last the power , resolution , and self - trust of manhood . Emancipation ( edit ) See also : Military history of African Americans in the American Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln by Francis Bicknell Carpenter ( People in the image are clickable . ) The Emancipation Proclamation was an executive order issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1 , 1863 . In a single stroke it changed the legal status , as recognized by the U.S. government , of 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy from `` slave '' to `` free . '' It had the practical effect that as soon as a slave escaped the control of the Confederate government , by running away or through advances of federal troops , the slave became legally and actually free . The owners were never compensated . Plantation owners , realizing that emancipation would destroy their economic system , sometimes moved their slaves as far as possible out of reach of the Union army . By June 1865 , the Union Army controlled all of the Confederacy and liberated all of the designated slaves . Large numbers moved into camps run by the Freedmen 's Bureau , where they were given food , shelter , medical care , and arrangements for their employment were made . The severe dislocations of war and Reconstruction had a large negative impact on the black population , with a large amount of sickness and death . Reconstruction Era ( edit ) Main article : Reconstruction Era See also : History of the United States ( 1865 -- 1918 ) Freedmen voting in New Orleans , 1867 . Reconstruction lasted from Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1 , 1863 to the Compromise of 1877 . The major issues faced by Lincoln were the status of the ex-slaves ( called `` Freedmen '' ) , the loyalty and civil rights of ex-rebels , the status of the 11 ex-Confederate states , the powers of the federal government needed to prevent a future civil war , and the question of whether Congress or the President would make the major decisions . The severe threats of starvation and displacement of the unemployed Freedmen were met by the first major federal relief agency , the Freedmen 's Bureau , operated by the Army . Three `` Reconstruction Amendments '' were passed to expand civil rights for black Americans : the Thirteenth Amendment outlawed slavery ; the Fourteenth Amendment guaranteed equal rights for all and citizenship for blacks ; the Fifteenth Amendment prevented race from being used to disfranchise men . Ex-Confederates remained in control of most Southern states for over two years , but changed when the Radical Republicans gained control of Congress in the 1866 elections . President Andrew Johnson , who sought easy terms for reunions with ex-rebels , was virtually powerless in the face of the Radical Republican Congress ; he was impeached , but the Senate 's attempt to remove him from office failed by one vote . Congress enfranchised black men and temporarily stripped many ex-Confederate leaders of the right to hold office . New Republican governments came to power based on a coalition of Freedmen made up of Carpetbaggers ( new arrivals from the North ) , and Scalawags ( native white Southerners ) . They were backed by the U.S. Army . Opponents said they were corrupt and violated the rights of whites . Atlanta 's railyard and roundhouse in ruins shortly after the end of the Civil War State by state they lost power to a conservative - Democratic coalition , which gained control of the entire South by 1877 . In response to Radical Reconstruction , the Ku Klux Klan ( KKK ) emerged in 1867 as a white - supremacist organization opposed to black civil rights and Republican rule . President Ulysses Grant 's vigorous enforcement of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1870 shut down the Klan , and it disbanded . Paramilitary groups , such as the White League and Red Shirts emerged about 1874 that worked openly to use intimidation and violence to suppress black voting to regain white political power in states across the South during the 1870s . Rable described them as the military arm of the Democratic Party . Reconstruction ended after the disputed 1876 election . The Compromise of 1877 gave Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes the White House in exchange for removing all remaining federal troops in the South . The federal government withdrew its troops from the South , and Southern Democrats took control of every Southern state . From 1890 to 1908 , southern states effectively disfranchised most black voters and many poor whites by making voter registration more difficult through poll taxes , literacy tests , and other arbitrary devices . They passed segregation laws and imposed second - class status on blacks in a system known as Jim Crow that lasted until the Civil Rights Movement . The West and the Gilded Age ( edit ) Main article : Gilded Age The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad ( 1869 ) at First Transcontinental Railroad , by Andrew J. Russell . The latter half of the nineteenth century was marked by the rapid development and settlement of the far West , first by wagon trains and riverboats and then aided by the completion of the transcontinental railroad . Large numbers of European immigrants ( especially from Germany and Scandinavia ) took up low - cost or free farms in the Prairie States . Mining for silver and copper opened up the Mountain West . The United States Army fought frequent small - scale wars with Native Americans as settlers encroached on their traditional lands . Gradually the U.S. purchased the Native American tribal lands and extinguished their claims , forcing most tribes onto subsidized reservations . According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census ( 1894 ) , from 1789 to 1894 : The Indian wars under the government of the United States have been more than 40 in number . They have cost the lives of about 19,000 white men , women and children , including those killed in individual combats , and the lives of about 30,000 Indians . The actual number of killed and wounded Indians must be very much higher than the given ... Fifty percent additional would be a safe estimate ... Scottish immigrant Andrew Carnegie led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry . The `` Gilded Age '' was a term that Mark Twain used to describe the period of the late 19th century with a dramatic expansion of American wealth and prosperity , underscored by the mass corruption in the government . Reforms of the Age included the Civil Service Act , which mandated a competitive examination for applicants for government jobs . Other important legislation included the Interstate Commerce Act , which ended railroads ' discrimination against small shippers , and the Sherman Antitrust Act , which outlawed monopolies in business . Twain believed that this age was corrupted by such elements as land speculators , scandalous politics , and unethical business practices . Since the days of Charles A. Beard and Matthew Josephson , some historians have argued that the United States was effectively plutocratic for at least part of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era . As financiers and industrialists such as J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller began to amass vast fortunes , many U.S. observers were concerned that the nation was losing its pioneering egalitarian spirit . By 1890 American industrial production and per capita income exceeded those of all other world nations . In response to heavy debts and decreasing farm prices , wheat and cotton farmers joined the Populist Party . An unprecedented wave of immigration from Europe served to both provide the labor for American industry and create diverse communities in previously undeveloped areas . From 1880 to 1914 , peak years of immigration , more than 22 million people migrated to the United States . Most were unskilled workers who quickly found jobs in mines , mills , factories . Many immigrants were craftsmen ( especially from Britain and Germany ) bringing human skills , and others were farmers ( especially from Germany and Scandinavia ) who purchased inexpensive land on the Prairies from railroads who sent agents to Europe . Poverty , growing inequality and dangerous working conditions , along with socialist and anarchist ideas diffusing from European immigrants , led to the rise of the labor movement , which often included violent strikes . Skilled workers banded together to control their crafts and raise wages by forming labor unions in industrial areas of the Northeast . Before the 1930s few factory workers joined the unions in the labor movement . Samuel Gompers led the American Federation of Labor ( 1886 -- 1924 ) , coordinating multiple unions . Industrial growth was rapid , led by John D. Rockefeller in oil and Andrew Carnegie in steel ; both became leaders of philanthropy ( Gospel of Wealth ) , giving away their fortunes to create the modern system of hospitals , universities , libraries , and foundations . Mulberry Street , along which Manhattan 's Little Italy is centered . Lower East Side , circa 1900 . Almost 97 % of residents of the 10 largest American cities of 1900 were non-Hispanic whites . The Panic of 1893 broke out and was a severe nationwide depression impacting farmers , workers , and businessmen who saw prices , wages , and profits fall . Many railroads went bankrupt . The resultant political reaction fell on the Democratic Party , whose leader President Grover Cleveland shouldered much of the blame . Labor unrest involved numerous strikes , most notably the violent Pullman Strike of 1894 , which was shut down by federal troops under Cleveland 's orders . The Populist Party gained strength among cotton and wheat farmers , as well as coal miners , but was overtaken by the even more popular Free Silver movement , which demanded using silver to enlarge the money supply , leading to inflation that the silverites promised would end the depression . The financial , railroad , and business communities fought back hard , arguing that only the gold standard would save the economy . In the most intense election in the nation 's history , conservative Republican William McKinley defeated silverite William Jennings Bryan , who ran on the Democratic , Populist , and Silver Republican tickets . Bryan swept the South and West , but McKinley ran up landslides among the middle class , industrial workers , cities , and among upscale farmers in the Midwest . Prosperity returned under McKinley , the gold standard was enacted , and the tariff was raised . By 1900 the U.S. had the strongest economy on the globe . Apart from two short recessions ( in 1907 and 1920 ) the overall economy remained prosperous and growing until 1929 . Republicans , citing McKinley 's policies , took the credit . 20th century ( edit ) Progressive Era ( edit ) Main article : Progressive Era American children of many ethnic backgrounds celebrate noisily in a 1902 Puck cartoon . Dissatisfaction on the part of the growing middle class with the corruption and inefficiency of politics as usual , and the failure to deal with increasingly important urban and industrial problems , led to the dynamic Progressive Movement starting in the 1890s . In every major city and state , and at the national level as well , and in education , medicine , and industry , the progressives called for the modernization and reform of decrepit institutions , the elimination of corruption in politics , and the introduction of efficiency as a criterion for change . Leading politicians from both parties , most notably Theodore Roosevelt , Charles Evans Hughes , and Robert La Follette on the Republican side , and William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson on the Democratic side , took up the cause of progressive reform . Women became especially involved in demands for woman suffrage , prohibition , and better schools ; their most prominent leader was Jane Addams of Chicago , who created settlement houses . `` Muckraking '' journalists such as Upton Sinclair , Lincoln Steffens and Jacob Riis exposed corruption in business and government along with rampant inner city poverty . Progressives implemented anti-trust laws and regulated such industries of meat - packing , drugs , and railroads . Four new constitutional amendments -- the Sixteenth through Nineteenth -- resulted from progressive activism , bringing the federal income tax , direct election of Senators , prohibition , and woman suffrage . The Progressive Movement lasted through the 1920s ; the most active period was 1900 -- 18 . Imperialism ( edit ) Further information : American imperialism This cartoon reflects the view of Judge magazine regarding America 's imperial ambitions following a quick victory in the Spanish -- American War of 1898 . The American flag flies from the Philippines and Hawaii in the Pacific to Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean . The United States emerged as a world economic and military power after 1890 . The main episode was the Spanish -- American War , which began when Spain refused American demands to reform its oppressive policies in Cuba . The `` splendid little war '' , as one official called it , involved a series of quick American victories on land and at sea . At the Treaty of Paris peace conference the United States acquired the Philippines , Puerto Rico , and Guam . Cuba became an independent country , under close American tutelage . Although the war itself was widely popular , the peace terms proved controversial . William Jennings Bryan led his Democratic Party in opposition to control of the Philippines , which he denounced as imperialism unbecoming to American democracy . President William McKinley defended the acquisition and was riding high as the nation had returned to prosperity and felt triumphant in the war . McKinley easily defeated Bryan in a rematch in the 1900 presidential election . After defeating an insurrection by Filipino nationalists , the United States engaged in a large - scale program to modernize the economy of the Philippines and dramatically upgrade the public health facilities . By 1908 , however , Americans lost interest in an empire and turned their international attention to the Caribbean , especially the building of the Panama Canal . In 1912 when Arizona became the final mainland state , the American Frontier came to an end . The canal opened in 1914 and increased trade with Japan and the rest of the Far East . A key innovation was the Open Door Policy , whereby the imperial powers were given equal access to Chinese business , with not one of them allowed to take control of China . World War I ( edit ) Main articles : American entry into World War I and United States home front during World War I American Cemetery at Romagne - sous - Montfaucon As World War I raged in Europe from 1914 , President Woodrow Wilson took full control of foreign policy , declaring neutrality but warning Germany that resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare against American ships supplying goods to Allied nations would mean war . Germany decided to take the risk and try to win by cutting off supplies to Britain through the sinking of ships such as the RMS Lusitania ; the U.S. declared war in April 1917 mainly from the threat of the Zimmermann telegram . American money , food , and munitions arrived quickly , but troops had to be drafted and trained ; by summer 1918 American soldiers under General John J. Pershing arrived at the rate of 10,000 a day , while Germany was unable to replace its losses . The result was Allied victory in November 1918 . President Wilson demanded Germany depose the Kaiser and accept his terms in the famed Fourteen Points speech . Wilson dominated the 1919 Paris Peace Conference but Germany was treated harshly by the Allies in the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919 ) as Wilson put all his hopes in the new League of Nations . Wilson refused to compromise with Senate Republicans over the issue of Congressional power to declare war , and the Senate rejected the Treaty and the League . Women 's suffrage ( edit ) Further information : Women 's suffrage in the United States Women suffragists demonstrating for the right to vote in 1913 . The women 's suffrage movement began with the June 1848 National Convention of the Liberty Party . Presidential candidate Gerrit Smith argued for and established women 's suffrage as a party plank . One month later , his cousin Elizabeth Cady Stanton joined with Lucretia Mott and other women to organize the Seneca Falls Convention , featuring the Declaration of Sentiments demanding equal rights for women , and the right to vote . Many of these activists became politically aware during the abolitionist movement . The women 's rights campaign during `` first - wave feminism '' was led by Stanton , Lucy Stone and Susan B. Anthony , among many others . Stone and Paulina Wright Davis organized the prominent and influential National Women 's Rights Convention in 1850 . The movement reorganized after the Civil War , gaining experienced campaigners , many of whom had worked for prohibition in the Women 's Christian Temperance Union . By the end of the 19th century a few western states had granted women full voting rights , though women had made significant legal victories , gaining rights in areas such as property and child custody . Women 's suffragists parade in New York City in 1917 , carrying placards with signatures of more than a million women . Around 1912 the feminist movement began to reawaken , putting an emphasis on its demands for equality and arguing that the corruption of American politics demanded purification by women because men could not do that job . Protests became increasingly common as suffragette Alice Paul led parades through the capital and major cities . Paul split from the large National American Woman Suffrage Association ( NAWSA ) , which favored a more moderate approach and supported the Democratic Party and Woodrow Wilson , led by Carrie Chapman Catt , and formed the more militant National Woman 's Party . Suffragists were arrested during their `` Silent Sentinels '' pickets at the White House , the first time such a tactic was used , and were taken as political prisoners . Women surrounded by posters in English and Yiddish supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt , Herbert H. Lehman , and the American Labor Party teach other women how to vote , 1936 . The old anti-suffragist argument that only men could fight a war , and therefore only men deserve the right to vote , was refuted by the enthusiastic participation of tens of thousands of American women on the home front in World War I. Across the world , grateful nations gave women the right to vote . Furthermore , most of the Western states had already given the women the right to vote in state and national elections , and the representatives from those states , including the first woman Jeannette Rankin of Montana , demonstrated that woman suffrage was a success . The main resistance came from the south , where white leaders were worried about the threat of black women voting . Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment in 1919 , and women could vote in 1920 . NAWSA became the League of Women Voters , and the National Woman 's Party began lobbying for full equality and the Equal Rights Amendment , which would pass Congress during the second wave of the women 's movement in 1972 . Politicians responded to the new electorate by emphasizing issues of special interest to women , especially prohibition , child health , and world peace . The main surge of women voting came in 1928 , when the big - city machines realized they needed the support of women to elect Al Smith , a Catholic from New York City . Meanwhile , Protestants mobilized women to support Prohibition and vote for Republican Herbert Hoover . Roaring Twenties ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1918 -- 45 ) Further information : Great Depression , Causes of the Great Depression , and New Deal Prohibition agents destroying barrels of alcohol in Chicago , 1921 . In the 1920s the U.S. grew steadily in stature as an economic and military world power . The United States Senate did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles imposed by its Allies on the defeated Central Powers ; instead , the United States chose to pursue unilateralism . The aftershock of Russia 's October Revolution resulted in real fears of Communism in the United States , leading to a Red Scare and the deportation of aliens considered subversive . Money supply decreased a lot between Black Tuesday and the Bank Holiday in March 1933 when there were massive bank runs across the United States . While public health facilities grew rapidly in the Progressive Era , and hospitals and medical schools were modernized , the nation in 1918 lost 675,000 lives to the Spanish flu pandemic . In 1920 , the manufacture , sale , import and export of alcohol were prohibited by the Eighteenth Amendment , Prohibition . The result was that in cities illegal alcohol became a big business , largely controlled by racketeers . The second Ku Klux Klan grew rapidly in 1922 -- 25 , then collapsed . Immigration laws were passed to strictly limit the number of new entries . The 1920s were called the Roaring Twenties due to the great economic prosperity during this period . Jazz became popular among the younger generation , and thus the decade was also called the Jazz Age . Dorothea Lange 's Migrant Mother depicts destitute pea pickers in California , centering on Florence Owens Thompson , a mother of seven , age 32 , in Nipomo , California , March 1936 . The Great Depression ( 1929 -- 39 ) and the New Deal ( 1933 -- 36 ) were decisive moments in American political , economic , and social history that reshaped the nation . Great Depression and New Deal ( edit ) Main articles : Great Depression in the United States and New Deal During the 1920s , the nation enjoyed widespread prosperity , albeit with a weakness in agriculture . A financial bubble was fueled by an inflated stock market , which later led to the Stock Market Crash on October 29 , 1929 . This , along with many other economic factors , triggered a worldwide depression known as the Great Depression . During this time , the United States experienced deflation as prices fell , unemployment soared from 3 % in 1929 to 25 % in 1933 , farm prices fell by half , and manufacturing output plunged by one - third . Outgoing president Herbert Hoover and Roosevelt on Inauguration Day , 1933 In 1932 , Democratic presidential nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt promised `` a New Deal for the American people '' , coining the enduring label for his domestic policies . The result was a series of permanent reform programs including Relief for the unemployed , assistance for the elderly , jobs for young men , social security , unemployment insurance , public housing , bankruptcy insurance , farm subsidies , and regulation of financial securities . State governments added new programs as well , and introduced the sales tax to pay for them . Ideologically the revolution established modern liberalism in the United States and kept the Democrats in power in Washington almost continuously for Three decades thanks to the New Deal Coalition of ethnic Whites , Blacks , blue - collar workers , labor unions , and white Southerners . It provided relief to the long - term unemployed through numerous programs , such as the Works Progress Administration ( WPA ) and for young men , the Civilian Conservation Corps . Large scale spending projects designed to provide private sector construction jobs and rebuild the infrastructure were under the purview of the Public Works Administration . The Second New Deal was a turn to the left in 1935 -- 36 , building up labor unions through the Wagner Act . Unions became a powerful element of the merging New Deal Coalition , which won reelection for Roosevelt in 1936 , 1940 , and 1944 by mobilizing union members , blue collar workers , relief recipients , big city machines , ethnic , and religious groups ( especially Catholics and Jews ) and the white South , along with blacks in the North ( where they could vote ) . Roosevelt seriously weakened his second term by a failed effort to pack the Supreme Court , which had been a center of conservative resistance to his programs . Most of the relief programs were dropped after 1938 in the 1940s when the conservatives regained power in Congress through the Conservative Coalition . Of special importance is the Social Security program , begun in 1935 . The economy basically recovered by 1936 , but had a sharp , short recession in 1937 - 38 ; long - term unemployment , however , remained a problem until it was solved by wartime spending . World War II ( edit ) Further information : World War II , Military history of the United States during World War II , and United States home front during World War II The Japanese crippled American naval power with the attack on Pearl Harbor , destroying many battleships . In the Depression years , the United States remained focused on domestic concerns while democracy declined across the world and many countries fell under the control of dictators . Imperial Japan asserted dominance in East Asia and in the Pacific . Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy militarized and threatened conquests , while Britain and France attempted appeasement to avert another war in Europe . U.S. legislation in the Neutrality Acts sought to avoid foreign conflicts ; however , policy clashed with increasing anti-Nazi feelings following the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 that started World War II . Roosevelt positioned the U.S. as the `` Arsenal of Democracy '' , pledging full - scale financial and munitions support for the Allies -- but no military personnel . This was carried out through the Lend - Lease agreements . Japan tried to neutralize America 's power in the Pacific by attacking Pearl Harbor on December 7 , 1941 , which catalyzed American support to enter the war . The main contributions of the U.S. to the Allied war effort comprised money , industrial output , food , petroleum , technological innovation , and ( especially 1944 -- 45 ) , military personnel . Much of the focus in Washington was maximizing the economic output of the nation . The overall result was a dramatic increase in GDP , the export of vast quantities of supplies to the Allies and to American forces overseas , the end of unemployment , and a rise in civilian consumption even as 40 % of the GDP went to the war effort . This was achieved by tens of millions of workers moving from low - productivity occupations to high efficiency jobs , improvements in productivity through better technology and management , and the move into the active labor force of students , retired people , housewives , and the unemployed , and an increase in hours worked . Into the Jaws of Death : The Normandy landings began the Allied march toward Germany from the west . American corpses sprawled on the beach of Tarawa , November 1943 . It was exhausting ; leisure activities declined sharply . People tolerated the extra work because of patriotism , the pay , and the confidence that it was only `` for the duration '' , and life would return to normal as soon as the war was won . Most durable goods became unavailable , and meat , clothing , and gasoline were tightly rationed . In industrial areas housing was in short supply as people doubled up and lived in cramped quarters . Prices and wages were controlled , and Americans saved a high portion of their incomes , which led to renewed growth after the war instead of a return to depression . The Allies -- the United States , Britain , and the Soviet Union , China , as well as Poland , Canada and other countries -- fought the Axis powers of Germany , Italy , and Japan . The Allies saw Germany as the main threat and gave highest priority to Europe . The U.S. dominated the war against Japan and stopped Japanese expansion in the Pacific in 1942 . After losing Pearl Harbor and in the Philippines to the Japanese , and drawing the Battle of the Coral Sea ( May 1942 ) , the American Navy inflicted a decisive blow at Midway ( June 1942 ) . American ground forces assisted in the North African Campaign that eventually concluded with the collapse of Mussolini 's fascist government in 1943 , as Italy switched to the Allied side . A more significant European front was opened on D - Day , June 6 , 1944 , in which American and Allied forces invaded Nazi - occupied France from Britain . Bronze statue of Eisenhower at Capitol rotunda . On the home front , mobilization of the U.S. economy was managed by Roosevelt 's War Production Board . The wartime production boom led to full employment , wiping out this vestige of the Great Depression . Indeed , labor shortages encouraged industry to look for new sources of workers , finding new roles for women and blacks . However , the fervor also inspired anti-Japanese sentiment , leading to internment of Japanese - Americans . Research and development took flight as well , best seen in the Manhattan Project , a secret effort to harness nuclear fission to produce highly destructive atomic bombs . The Allies pushed the Germans out of France but faced an unexpected counterattack at the Battle of the Bulge in December . The final German effort failed , and , as Allied armies in East and West were converging on Berlin , the Nazis hurriedly tried to kill the last remaining Jews . The western front stopped short , leaving Berlin to the Soviets as the Nazi regime formally capitulated in May 1945 , ending the war in Europe . Over in the Pacific , the U.S. implemented an island hopping strategy toward Tokyo , establishing airfields for bombing runs against mainland Japan from the Mariana Islands and achieving hard - fought victories at Iwo Jima and Okinawa in 1945 . Bloodied at Okinawa , the U.S. prepared to invade Japan 's home islands when B - 29s dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , forcing the empire 's surrender in a matter of days and thus ending World War II . The U.S. occupied Japan ( and part of Germany ) , sending Douglas MacArthur to restructure the Japanese economy and political system along American lines . During the war , Roosevelt coined the term `` Four Powers '' to refer four major Allies of World War II , the United States , the United Kingdom , the Soviet Union and China , which later became the foundation of the United Nations Security Council . Though the nation lost more than 400,000 military personnel , the mainland prospered untouched by the devastation of war that inflicted a heavy toll on Europe and Asia . Participation in postwar foreign affairs marked the end of predominant American isolationism . The awesome threat of nuclear weapons inspired both optimism and fear . Nuclear weapons were never used after 1945 , as both sides drew back from the brink and a `` long peace '' characterized the Cold War years , starting with the Truman Doctrine in May 22 , 1947 . There were , however , regional wars in Korea and Vietnam . The Cold War , Counterculture , and Civil rights ( edit ) Main articles : History of the United States ( 1945 -- 64 ) , History of the United States ( 1964 -- 80 ) , and United States in the 1950s Cuban Missile Crisis a meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Vienna in 1961 . Following World War II , the United States emerged as one of the two dominant superpowers , the USSR being the other . The U.S. Senate on a bipartisan vote approved U.S. participation in the United Nations ( UN ) , which marked a turn away from the traditional isolationism of the U.S. and toward increased international involvement . The primary American goal of 1945 -- 48 was to rescue Europe from the devastation of World War II and to contain the expansion of Communism , represented by the Soviet Union . U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War was built around the support of Western Europe and Japan along with the policy of containment , stopping the spread of communism . The U.S. joined the wars in Korea and Vietnam to try to stop its spread . The Truman Doctrine of 1947 provided military and economic aid to Greece and Turkey to counteract the threat of Communist expansion in the Balkans . In 1948 , the United States replaced piecemeal financial aid programs with a comprehensive Marshall Plan , which pumped money into the economy of Western Europe , and removed trade barriers , while modernizing the managerial practices of businesses and governments . President Kennedy 's Civil Rights Address , June 11 , 1963 . The Plan 's $13 billion budget was in the context of a U.S. GDP of $258 billion in 1948 and was in addition to the $12 billion in American aid given to Europe between the end of the war and the start of the Marshall Plan . Soviet head of state Joseph Stalin prevented his satellite states from participating , and from that point on , Eastern Europe , with inefficient centralized economies , fell further and further behind Western Europe in terms of economic development and prosperity . In 1949 , the United States , rejecting the long - standing policy of no military alliances in peacetime , formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) alliance , which continues into the 21st century . In response the Soviets formed the Warsaw Pact of communist states , leading to the `` iron curtain '' . Apollo 11 In August 1949 the Soviets tested their first nuclear weapon , thereby escalating the risk of warfare . The threat of mutually assured destruction however , prevented both powers from nuclear war , and resulted in proxy wars , especially in Korea and Vietnam , in which the two sides did not directly confront each other . Within the United States , the Cold War prompted concerns about Communist influence . The unexpected leapfrogging of American technology by the Soviets in 1957 with Sputnik , the first Earth satellite , began the Space Race , won by the Americans as Apollo 11 landed astronauts on the moon in 1969 . The angst about the weaknesses of American education led to large - scale federal support for science education and research . In the decades after World War II , the United States became a global influence in economic , political , military , cultural , and technological affairs . Beginning in the 1950s , middle - class culture became obsessed with consumer goods . White Americans made up nearly 90 % of the population in 1950 . In 1960 , the charismatic politician John F. Kennedy was elected as the first and -- thus far -- only Roman Catholic President of the United States . The Kennedy family brought a new life and vigor to the atmosphere of the White House . His time in office was marked by such notable events as the acceleration of the United States ' role in the Space Race , escalation of the American role in the Vietnam War , the Cuban missile crisis , the Bay of Pigs Invasion , the jailing of Martin Luther King , Jr. during the Birmingham campaign , and the appointment of his brother Robert F. Kennedy to his Cabinet as Attorney General . Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas , Texas , on November 22 , 1963 , leaving the nation in profound shock . Climax of liberalism ( edit ) American soldiers during the Vietnam War , 1967 The climax of liberalism came in the mid-1960s with the success of President Lyndon B. Johnson ( 1963 -- 69 ) in securing congressional passage of his Great Society programs . They included civil rights , the end of segregation , Medicare , extension of welfare , federal aid to education at all levels , subsidies for the arts and humanities , environmental activism , and a series of programs designed to wipe out poverty . As recent historians have explained : Gradually , liberal intellectuals crafted a new vision for achieving economic and social justice . The liberalism of the early 1960s contained no hint of radicalism , little disposition to revive new deal era crusades against concentrated economic power , and no intention to redistribute wealth or restructure existing institutions . Internationally it was strongly anti-Communist . It aimed to defend the free world , to encourage economic growth at home , and to ensure that the resulting plenty was fairly distributed . Their agenda - much influenced by Keynesian economic theory - envisioned massive public expenditure that would speed economic growth , thus providing the public resources to fund larger welfare , housing , health , and educational programs . Johnson was rewarded with an electoral landslide in 1964 against conservative Barry Goldwater , which broke the decades - long control of Congress by the Conservative coalition . However , the Republicans bounced back in 1966 and elected Richard Nixon in 1968 . Nixon largely continued the New Deal and Great Society programs he inherited ; conservative reaction would come with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 . Meanwhile , the American people completed a great migration from farms into the cities and experienced a period of sustained economic expansion . Civil rights movement ( edit ) Main article : Civil Rights Movement Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. ( right ) , with President Lyndon B. Johnson in the background ( left ) Starting in the late 1950s , institutionalized racism across the United States , but especially in the South , was increasingly challenged by the growing Civil Rights Movement . The activism of African - American leaders Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King , Jr. led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott , which launched the movement . For years African Americans would struggle with violence against them but would achieve great steps toward equality with Supreme Court decisions , including Brown v. Board of Education and Loving v. Virginia , the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , the Voting Rights Act of 1965 , and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 , which ended the Jim Crow laws that legalized racial segregation between whites and blacks . Duncan West speaking with Cesar Chavez . The Delano UFW rally . Duncan represented the Teamsters who were supporting the UFW and condemning their IBT leadership for working as thugs against a fellow union . Duncan and his wife Mary were the branch organizers of the LA IS . Martin Luther King , Jr. , who had won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to achieve equality of the races , was assassinated in 1968 . Following his death others led the movement , most notably King 's widow , Coretta Scott King , who was also active , like her husband , in the Opposition to the Vietnam War , and in the Women 's Liberation Movement . There were 164 riots in 128 American cities in the first nine months of 1967 . Frustrations with the seemingly slow progress of the integration movement led to the emergence of more radical discourses during the early 1960s , which , in turn , gave rise to the Black Power movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s . The decade would ultimately bring about positive strides toward integration , especially in government service , sports , and entertainment . Native Americans turned to the federal courts to fight for their land rights . They held protests highlighting the federal government 's failure to honor treaties . One of the most outspoken Native American groups was the American Indian Movement ( AIM ) . In the 1960s , Cesar Chavez began organizing poorly paid Mexican - American farm workers in California . He led a five - year - long strike by grape pickers . Then Chávez formed the nation 's first successful union of farm workers . His United Farm Workers of America ( UFW ) faltered after a few years but after Chavez died in 1993 he became an iconic `` folk saint '' in the pantheon of Mexican Americans . The women 's movement ( edit ) Further information : Second - wave feminism Anti-Vietnam War demonstration , 1967 A new consciousness of the inequality of American women began sweeping the nation , starting with the 1963 publication of Betty Friedan 's best - seller , The Feminine Mystique , which explained how many housewives felt trapped and unfulfilled , assaulted American culture for its creation of the notion that women could only find fulfillment through their roles as wives , mothers , and keepers of the home , and argued that women were just as able as men to do every type of job . In 1966 Friedan and others established the National Organization for Women , or NOW , to act for women as the NAACP did for African Americans . Two hippies at Woodstock Protests began , and the new Women 's Liberation Movement grew in size and power , gained much media attention , and , by 1968 , had replaced the Civil Rights Movement as the U.S 's main social revolution . Marches , parades , rallies , boycotts , and pickets brought out thousands , sometimes millions . There were striking gains for women in medicine , law , and business , while only a few were elected to office . The Movement was split into factions by political ideology early on , however ( with NOW on the left , the Women 's Equity Action League ( WEAL ) on the right , the National Women 's Political Caucus ( NWPC ) in the center , and more radical groups formed by younger women on the far left ) . The proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution , passed by Congress in 1972 was defeated by a conservative coalition mobilized by Phyllis Schlafly . They argued that it degraded the position of the housewife and made young women susceptible to the military draft . However , many federal laws ( i.e. , those equalizing pay , employment , education , employment opportunities , and credit ; ending pregnancy discrimination ; and requiring NASA , the Military Academies , and other organizations to admit women ) , state laws ( i.e. , those ending spousal abuse and marital rape ) , Supreme Court rulings ( i.e. ruling that the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applied to women ) , and state ERAs established women 's equal status under the law , and social custom and consciousness began to change , accepting women 's equality . The controversial issue of abortion , deemed by the Supreme Court as a fundamental right in Roe v. Wade ( 1973 ) , is still a point of debate today . The Counterculture Revolution and Cold War détente ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1964 -- 80 ) United States Navy F - 4 Phantom II shadows a Soviet Tu - 95 Bear D aircraft in the early 1970s U.S. Senator Edmund Muskie speaking at Fairmount Park , Philadelphia on Earth Day , 1970 Amid the Cold War , the United States entered the Vietnam War , whose growing unpopularity fed already existing social movements , including those among women , minorities , and young people . President Lyndon B. Johnson 's Great Society social programs and numerous rulings by the Warren Court added to the wide range of social reform during the 1960s and 1970s . Feminism and the environmental movement became political forces , and progress continued toward civil rights for all Americans . The Counterculture Revolution swept through the nation and much of the western world in the late sixties and early seventies , further dividing Americans in a `` culture war '' but also bringing forth more liberated social views . Johnson was succeeded in 1969 by Republican Richard Nixon , who attempted to gradually turn the war over to the South Vietnamese forces . He negotiated the peace treaty in 1973 which secured the release of POWs and led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops . The war had cost the lives of 58,000 American troops . Nixon manipulated the fierce distrust between the Soviet Union and China to the advantage of the United States , achieving détente ( relaxation ; ease of tension ) with both parties . Nixon departs The Watergate scandal , involving Nixon 's cover - up of his operatives ' break - in into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex destroyed his political base , sent many aides to prison , and forced Nixon 's resignation on August 9 , 1974 . He was succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford . The Fall of Saigon ended the Vietnam War and resulted in North and South Vietnam being reunited . Communist victories in neighboring Cambodia and Laos occurred in the same year . The OPEC oil embargo marked a long - term economic transition since , for the first time , energy prices skyrocketed , and American factories faced serious competition from foreign automobiles , clothing , electronics , and consumer goods . By the late 1970s the economy suffered an energy crisis , slow economic growth , high unemployment , and very high inflation coupled with high interest rates ( the term stagflation was coined ) . Since economists agreed on the wisdom of deregulation , many of the New Deal era regulations were ended , such as in transportation , banking , and telecommunications . Jimmy Carter , running as someone who was not a part of the Washington political establishment , was elected president in 1976 . On the world stage , Carter brokered the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt . In 1979 , Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took 66 Americans hostage , resulting in the Iran hostage crisis . With the hostage crisis and continuing stagflation , Carter lost the 1980 election to the Republican Ronald Reagan . On January 20 , 1981 , minutes after Carter 's term in office ended , the remaining U.S. captives held at the U.S. embassy in Iran were released , ending the 444 - day hostage crisis . Close of the 20th century ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1980 -- 91 ) Ronald Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate challenges Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall in 1987 , shortly before the end of the Cold War . Ronald Reagan produced a major realignment with his 1980 and 1984 landslide elections . Reagan 's economic policies ( dubbed `` Reaganomics '' ) and the implementation of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 lowered the top marginal tax rate from 70 % to 28 % over the course of seven years . Reagan continued to downsize government taxation and regulation . The U.S. experienced a recession in 1982 , but the negative indicators reversed , with the inflation rate decreasing from 11 % to 2 % , the unemployment rate decreasing from 10.8 % in December 1982 to 7.5 % in November 1984 , and the economic growth rate increasing from 4.5 % to 7.2 % . Reagan ordered a buildup of the U.S. military , incurring additional budget deficits . Reagan introduced a complicated missile defense system known as the Strategic Defense Initiative ( SDI ) ( dubbed `` Star Wars '' by opponents ) in which , theoretically , the U.S. could shoot down missiles with laser systems in space . The Soviets reacted harshly because they thought it violated the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty , and would upset the balance of power by giving the U.S. a major military advantage . For years Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev argued vehemently against SDI . However , by the late 1980s he decided the system would never work and should not be used to block disarmament deals with the U.S. Historians argue how great an impact the SDI threat had on the Soviets -- whether it was enough to force Gorbachev to initiate radical reforms , or whether the deterioration of the Soviet economy alone forced the reforms . There is agreement that the Soviets realized they were well behind the Americans in military technology , that to try to catch up would be very expensive , and that the military expenses were already a very heavy burden slowing down their economy . Reagan 's Invasion of Grenada and bombing of Libya were popular in the U.S , though his backing of the Contras rebels was mired in the controversy over the Iran -- Contra affair that revealed Reagan 's poor management style .

Reagan met four times with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev , who ascended to power in 1985 , and their summit conferences led to the signing of the Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty . Gorbachev tried to save Communism in the Soviet Union first by ending the expensive arms race with America , then by shedding the East European empire in 1989 . The Soviet Union collapsed on Christmas Day 1991 , ending the U.S -- Soviet Cold War . Intermediate - Range Nuclear Forces Treaty The United States emerged as the world 's sole remaining superpower and continued to intervene in international affairs during the 1990s , including the 1991 Gulf War against Iraq . Following his election in 1992 , President Bill Clinton oversaw one of the longest periods of economic expansion and unprecedented gains in securities values , a side effect of the digital revolution and new business opportunities created by the Internet . He also worked with the Republican Congress to pass the first balanced federal budget in 30 years . In 1998 , Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on charges of lying about a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky . He was acquitted by the Senate . The failure of impeachment and the Democratic gains in the 1998 election forced House Speaker Newt Gingrich , a Republican , to resign from Congress . Clinton , Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat during the Oslo Accords on September 13 , 1993 . The Republican Party expanded its base throughout the South after 1968 ( excepting 1976 ) , largely due to its strength among socially conservative white Evangelical Protestants and traditionalist Roman Catholics , added to its traditional strength in the business community and suburbs . As white Democrats in the South lost dominance of the Democratic Party in the 1990s , the region took on the two - party apparatus which characterized most of the nation . The Republican Party 's central leader by 1980 was Ronald Reagan , whose conservative policies called for reduced government spending and regulation , lower taxes , and a strong anti-Soviet foreign policy . His iconic status in the party persists into the 21st century , as practically all Republican Party leaders acknowledge his stature . Social scientists Theodore Caplow et al. argue , `` The Republican party , nationally , moved from right - center toward the center in 1940s and 1950s , then moved right again in the 1970s and 1980s . '' They add : `` The Democratic party , nationally , moved from left - center toward the center in the 1940s and 1950s , then moved further toward the right - center in the 1970s and 1980s . '' The presidential election in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore was one of the closest in U.S. history and helped lay the seeds for political polarization to come . The vote in the decisive state of Florida was extremely close and produced a dramatic dispute over the counting of votes . The U.S. Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore ended the recount with a 5 -- 4 vote . That meant Bush , then in the lead , carried Florida and the election . Including 2000 , the Democrats outpolled the Republicans in the national vote in every election from 1992 to 2016 , except for 2004 . 21st century ( edit ) 9 / 11 and the War on Terror ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 1991 -- 2008 ) Further information : September 11 attacks and War on Terror The NASDAQ Composite index swelled with the dot - com bubble in the optimistic `` New Economy '' . The bubble burst in 2000 . On September 11 , 2001 ( `` 9 / 11 '' ) , the United States was struck by a terrorist attack when 19 al - Qaeda hijackers commandeered four airliners to be used in suicide attacks and intentionally crashed two into both twin towers of the World Trade Center and the third into the Pentagon , killing 2,937 victims -- 206 aboard the three airliners , 2,606 who were in the World Trade Center and on the ground , and 125 who were in the Pentagon . The fourth plane was re-taken by the passengers and crew of the aircraft . While they were not able to land the plane safely , they were able to re-take control of the aircraft and crash it into an empty field in Pennsylvania , killing all 44 people including the four terrorists on board , thereby saving whatever target the terrorists were aiming for . Within two hours , both Twin Towers of the World Trade Center completely collapsed causing massive damage to the surrounding area and blanketing Lower Manhattan in toxic dust clouds . All in all , a total of 2,977 victims perished in the attacks . In response , President George W. Bush on September 20 announced a `` War on Terror '' . On October 7 , 2001 , the United States and NATO then invaded Afghanistan to oust the Taliban regime , which had provided safe haven to al - Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden . The former World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan during September 11 attacks in 2001 One World Trade Center , built in its place The federal government established new domestic efforts to prevent future attacks . The controversial USA PATRIOT Act increased the government 's power to monitor communications and removed legal restrictions on information sharing between federal law enforcement and intelligence services . A cabinet - level agency called the Department of Homeland Security was created to lead and coordinate federal counter-terrorism activities . Some of these anti-terrorism efforts , particularly the U.S. government 's handling of detainees at the prison at Guantanamo Bay , led to allegations against the U.S. government of human rights violations . George W. Bush addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations on September 12 , 2002 to outline the complaints of the United States government against the Iraqi government . In 2003 , from March 19 to May 1 , the United States launched an invasion of Iraq , which led to the collapse of the Iraq government and the eventual capture of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein , with whom the U.S. had long - standing tense relations . The reasons for the invasion cited by the Bush administration included the spreading of democracy , the elimination of weapons of mass destruction ( a key demand of the UN as well , though later investigations found parts of the intelligence reports to be inaccurate ) , and the liberation of the Iraqi people . Despite some initial successes early in the invasion , the continued Iraq War fueled international protests and gradually saw domestic support decline as many people began to question whether or not the invasion was worth the cost . In 2007 , after years of violence by the Iraqi insurgency , President Bush deployed more troops in a strategy dubbed `` the surge '' . While the death toll decreased , the political stability of Iraq remained in doubt . Headquarters of the Lehman Brothers , who filed for bankruptcy in September 2008 at the height of the U.S. financial crisis . In 2008 , the unpopularity of President Bush and the Iraq war , along with the 2008 financial crisis , led to the election of Barack Obama , the first African - American President of the United States . After his election , Obama reluctantly continued the war effort in Iraq until August 31 , 2010 , when he declared that combat operations had ended . However , 50,000 American soldiers and military personnel were kept in Iraq to assist Iraqi forces , help protect withdrawing forces , and work on counter-terrorism until December 15 , 2011 , when the war was declared formally over and the last troops left the country . At the same time , Obama increased American involvement in Afghanistan , starting a surge strategy using an additional 30,000 troops , while proposing to begin withdrawing troops sometime in December 2014 . With regards to Guantanamo Bay , President Obama forbade torture but in general retained Bush 's policy regarding the Guantanamo detainees , while also proposing that the prison eventually be closed . In May 2011 , after nearly a decade in hiding , the founder and leader of Al Qaeda , Osama bin Laden , was killed in Pakistan in a raid conducted by U.S. naval special forces acting under President Obama 's direct orders . While Al Qaeda was near collapse in Afghanistan , affiliated organizations continued to operate in Yemen and other remote areas as the CIA used drones to hunt down and remove its leadership . The Boston Marathon Bombing was a bombing incident , followed by subsequent related shootings , that occurred when two pressure cooker bombs exploded during the Boston Marathon on April 15 , 2013 . The bombs exploded about 12 seconds and 210 yards ( 190 m ) apart at 2 : 49 pm EDT , near the marathon 's finish line on Boylston Street . They killed 3 people and injured an estimated 264 others . The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant -- formerly known as Al - Qaeda in Iraq -- rose to prominence in September 2014 . In addition to taking control of much of Western Iraq and Eastern Syria , ISIS also beheaded three journalists , two American and one British . These events lead to a major military offensive by the United States and its allies in the region . On December 28 , 2014 , President Obama officially ended the combat mission in Afghanistan and promised a withdrawal of all remaining U.S. troops at the end of 2016 with the exception of the embassy guards . The Great recession ( edit ) Main article : Great Recession Congressional leadership meeting with then - President Obama in 2011 . In September 2008 , the United States , and most of Europe , entered the longest post -- World War II recession , often called the `` Great Recession . '' Multiple overlapping crises were involved , especially the housing market crisis , a subprime mortgage crisis , soaring oil prices , an automotive industry crisis , rising unemployment , and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression . The financial crisis threatened the stability of the entire economy in September 2008 when Lehman Brothers failed and other giant banks were in grave danger . Starting in October the federal government lent $245 billion to financial institutions through the Troubled Asset Relief Program which was passed by bipartisan majorities and signed by Bush . Following his election victory by a wide electoral margin in November 2008 , Bush 's successor -- Barack Obama -- signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , which was a $787 billion economic stimulus aimed at helping the economy recover from the deepening recession . Obama , like Bush , took steps to rescue the auto industry and prevent future economic meltdowns . These included a bailout of General Motors and Chrysler , putting ownership temporarily in the hands of the government , and the `` cash for clunkers '' program which temporarily boosted new car sales . The recession officially ended in June 2009 , and the economy slowly began to expand once again . The unemployment rate peaked at 10.1 % in October 2009 after surging from 4.7 % in November 2007 , and returned to 5.0 % as of October 2015 . However , overall economic growth has remained weaker in the 2010s compared to expansions in previous decades . Recent events ( edit ) Main article : History of the United States ( 2008 -- present ) Tea Party protesters walk towards the United States Capitol during the Taxpayer March on Washington , September 12 , 2009 . From 2009 to 2010 , the 111th Congress passed major legislation such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , informally known as Obamacare , the Dodd -- Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Do n't Ask , Do n't Tell Repeal Act , which were signed into law by President Obama . Following the 2010 midterm elections , which resulted in a Republican - controlled House of Representatives and a Democratic - controlled Senate , Congress presided over a period of elevated gridlock and heated debates over whether or not to raise the debt ceiling , extend tax cuts for citizens making over $250,000 annually , and many other key issues . These ongoing debates led to President Obama signing the Budget Control Act of 2011 . In the Fall of 2012 , Mitt Romney challenged Barack Obama for the Presidency . Following Obama 's reelection in November 2012 , Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 -- which resulted in an increase in taxes primarily on those earning the most money . Congressional gridlock continued as Congressional Republicans ' call for the repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- popularly known as `` Obamacare '' -- along with other various demands , resulted in the first government shutdown since the Clinton administration and almost led to the first default on U.S. debt since the 19th century . As a result of growing public frustration with both parties in Congress since the beginning of the decade , Congressional approval ratings fell to record lows , with only 11 % of Americans approving as of October 2013 . Other major events that have occurred during the 2010s include the rise of new political movements , such as the conservative Tea Party movement and the liberal Occupy movement . There was also unusually severe weather during the early part of the decade . In 2012 , over half the country experienced record drought and Hurricane Sandy caused massive damage to coastal areas of New York and New Jersey . On the morning of June 26 , 2015 outside the Supreme Court , the crowd reacts to the Court 's decision on Obergefell v. Hodges The ongoing debate over the issue of rights for the LGBT community , most notably that of same - sex marriage , began to shift in favor of same - sex couples , and has been reflected in dozens of polls released in the early part of the decade . In 2012 , President Obama became the first president to openly support same - sex marriage , and the 2013 Supreme Court decision in the case of United States v. Windsor provided for federal recognition of same - sex unions . In June 2015 , the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationally in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges . Political debate has continued over issues such as tax reform , immigration reform , income inequality and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East , particularly with regards to global terrorism , the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and an accompanying climate of Islamophobia . Trump signing Executive Order 13769 at the Pentagon as the Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of Defense James Mattis look on , January 27 , 2017 On November 8 , 2016 , Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to become the President - elect of the United States . Trump 's election became mired in controversy after U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that associates of the Russian government interfered in the election `` to undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process . '' This , along with questions about potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials , led to the launch of investigations into the matter by the FBI , and the Senate and the House Intelligence Committees .

"Armed conflict began in 1775. In 1776, the Second Continental Congress declared the independence of the colonies as the United States of America. Led by General George Washington, it won the Revolutionary War with large support from France. The peace treaty of 1783 gave the new nation the land east of the Mississippi River (except Canada and Florida). The Articles of Confederation established a central government, but it was ineffectual at providing stability, as it could not collect taxes and had no executive officer. A convention in 1787 wrote a new Constitution that was adopted in 1789. In 1791, a Bill of Rights was added to guarantee inalienable rights. With Washington as the first president and Alexander Hamilton his chief adviser, a strong central government was created. Purchase of the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803 doubled the size of the United States. A second and final war with Britain was fought in 1812, which solidified national pride.\n"

The Russian Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Nicholas II and the old regime was replaced by a provisional government during the first revolution of February 1917 ( March in the Gregorian calendar ; the older Julian calendar was in use in Russia at the time ) . Alongside it arose grassroots community assemblies ( called ' soviets ' ) which contended for authority . In the second revolution that October , the Provisional Government was toppled and all power was given to the soviets . The February Revolution ( March 1917 ) was a revolution focused around Petrograd ( now Saint Petersburg ) , the capital of Russia at that time . In the chaos , members of the Imperial parliament ( the Duma ) assumed control of the country , forming the Russian Provisional Government which was heavily dominated by the interests of large capitalists and the noble aristocracy . The army leadership felt they did not have the means to suppress the revolution , resulting in Nicholas 's abdication . The soviets , which were dominated by soldiers and the urban industrial working class , initially permitted the Provisional Government to rule , but insisted on a prerogative to influence the government and control various militias . The February Revolution took place in the context of heavy military setbacks during the First World War ( 1914 -- 18 ) , which left much of the Russian Army in a state of mutiny . A period of dual power ensued , during which the Provisional Government held state power while the national network of soviets , led by socialists , had the allegiance of the lower classes and , increasingly , the left - leaning urban middle class . During this chaotic period there were frequent mutinies , protests and many strikes . Many socialist political organizations were engaged in daily struggle and vied for influence within the Duma and the soviets , central among which were the Bolsheviks ( `` Ones of the Majority '' ) led by Vladimir Lenin who campaigned for an immediate end to the war , land to the peasants , and bread to the workers . When the Provisional Government chose to continue fighting the war with Germany , the Bolsheviks and other socialist factions were able to exploit virtually universal disdain towards the war effort as justification to advance the revolution further . The Bolsheviks turned workers ' militias under their control into the Red Guards ( later the Red Army ) over which they exerted substantial control . In the October Revolution ( November in the Gregorian calendar ) , the Bolsheviks led an armed insurrection by workers and soldiers in Petrograd that successfully overthrew the Provisional Government , transferring all its authority to the soviets with the capital being relocated to Moscow shortly thereafter . The Bolsheviks had secured a strong base of support within the soviets and , as the now supreme governing party , established a federal government dedicated to reorganizing the former empire into the world 's first socialist republic , practicing soviet democracy on a national and international scale . The promise to end Russia 's participation in the First World War was honored promptly with the Bolshevik leaders signing the Treaty of Brest - Litovsk with Germany in March 1918 . To further secure the new state , the Cheka was established which functioned as a revolutionary security service that sought to weed out and punish those considered to be `` enemies of the people '' in campaigns consciously modeled on similar events during the French Revolution . Soon after , civil war erupted among the `` Reds '' ( Bolsheviks ) , the `` Whites '' ( counter-revolutionaries ) , the independence movements and the non-Bolshevik socialists . It continued for several years , during which the Bolsheviks defeated both the Whites and all rival socialists and thereafter reconstituted themselves as the Communist Party . In this way , the Revolution paved the way for the creation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ( USSR ) in 1922 . While many notable historical events occurred in Moscow and Petrograd , there was also a visible movement in cities throughout the state , among national minorities throughout the empire and in the rural areas , where peasants took over and redistributed land .

The events of Bloody Sunday triggered nationwide protests and soldier mutinies . A council of workers called the St. Petersburg Soviet was created in this chaos . While the 1905 Revolution was ultimately crushed , and the leaders of the St. Petersburg Soviet were arrested , this laid the groundwork for the later Petrograd Soviet and other revolutionary movements during the leadup to 1917 . The 1905 Revolution also led to the creation of a Duma ( parliament ) , that would later form the Provisional Government following February 1917 . The outbreak of World War I prompted general outcry directed at Tsar Nicholas II and the Romanov family . While the nation was initially caught up in a wave of nationalism , increasing numbers of defeats and poor conditions soon made the opposite true . The Tsar attempted to remedy the situation by taking personal control of the army in 1915 . This proved disastrous , as the Tsar was now held personally responsible for Russia 's continuing defeats and losses . In addition , the Tsarina Alexandra , left to rule in while the Tsar was commanding at the front , was German born , leading to suspicion of collusion , only exacerbated by rumors relating to her relationship with the controversial mystic Rasputin . Rasputin 's influence led to disastrous ministerial appointments and corruption , resulting in a worsening of conditions within Russia . This led to general dissatisfaction with the Romanov family , and was a major factor contributing to the retaliation of the Russian Communists against the royal family . After the entry of the Ottoman Empire on the side of the Central Powers in October 1914 , Russia was deprived of a major trade route through the Dardanelles , which further contributed to the economic crisis , in which Russia became incapable of providing munitions to their army in the years leading to 1917 . However , the problems were primarily administrative , and not industrial , as Germany was producing great amounts of munitions whilst constantly fighting on two major battlefronts . The conditions during the war resulted in devastating loss of morale within the Russian army , as well as the general population . This was particularly apparent in the cities , owing to a lack of food in response to the disruption of agriculture . Food scarcity had become a considerable problem in Russia , but the cause of this did not lie in any failure of the harvests , which had not been significantly altered during wartime . The indirect reason was that the government , in order to finance the war , had been printing millions of ruble notes , and by 1917 inflation had made prices increase up to four times what they had been in 1914 . Farmers were consequently faced with a higher cost of living , but little increase in income . As a result , they tended to hoard their grain and to revert to subsistence farming . Thus the cities were constantly short of food . At the same time , rising prices led to demands for higher wages in the factories , and in January and February 1916 revolutionary propaganda , in part aided by German funds , led to widespread strikes . This resulted in a growing criticism of the government , including an increased participation of workers in revolutionary parties . Liberal parties too had an increased platform to voice their complaints , as the initial fervor of the war had resulted in the Tsarist government creating a variety of political organizations . In July 1915 , a Central War Industries Committee was established under the chairmanship of a prominent Octobrist , Alexander Guchkov ( 1862 - 1936 ) , including ten workers ' representatives . The Petrograd Mensheviks agreed to join despite the objections of their leaders abroad . All this activity gave renewed encouragement to political ambitions , and , in September 1915 , a combination of Octobrists and Kadets in the Duma demanded the forming of a responsible government . The Tsar rejected these proposals . All these factors had given rise to a sharp loss of confidence in the regime , even within the ruling class , growing throughout the war . Early in 1916 , Guchkov discussed with senior army officers and members of the Central War Industries Committee about a possible coup to force the abdication of the Tsar . In December , a small group of nobles assassinated Rasputin , and in January 1917 the Tsar 's uncle , Grand Duke Nicholas , was asked indirectly by Prince Lvov whether he would be prepared to take over the throne from his nephew , Tsar Nicholas II . None of these incidents were in themselves the immediate cause of the February Revolution , but they do help to explain why the monarchy survived only a few days after it had broken out . Russian soldiers marching in Petrograd in February 1917 Meanwhile , Socialist Revolutionary leaders in exile , many of them living in Switzerland , had been the glum spectators of the collapse of international socialist solidarity . French and German Social Democrats had voted in favour of their respective governments ' war efforts . Georgi Plekhanov in Paris had adopted a violently anti-German stand , while Parvus supported the German war effort as the best means of ensuring a revolution in Russia . The Mensheviks largely maintained that Russia had the right to defend herself against Germany , although Martov ( a prominent Menshevik ) , now on the left of his group , demanded an end to the war and a settlement on the basis of national self - determination , with no annexations or indemnities . It was these views of Martov that predominated in a manifesto drawn up by Leon Trotsky ( at the time a Menshevik ) at a conference in Zimmerwald , attended by 35 Socialist leaders in September 1915 . Inevitably Vladimir Lenin , supported by Zinoviev and Radek , strongly contested them . Their attitudes became known as the Zimmerwald Left . Lenin rejected both the defence of Russia and the cry for peace . Since the autumn of 1914 , he had insisted that `` from the standpoint of the working class and of the labouring masses from the lesser evil would be the defeat of the Tsarist Monarchy '' ; the war must be turned into a civil war of the proletarian soldiers against their own governments , and if a proletarian victory should emerge from this in Russia , then their duty would be to wage a revolutionary war for the liberation of the masses throughout Europe . Economic and social changes An elementary theory of property , believed by many peasants , was that land should belong to those who work on it . At the same time , peasant life and culture was changing constantly . Change was facilitated by the physical movement of growing numbers of peasant villagers who migrated to and from industrial and urban environments , but also by the introduction of city culture into the village through material goods , the press , and word of mouth . Workers also had good reasons for discontent : overcrowded housing with often deplorable sanitary conditions , long hours at work ( on the eve of the war a 10 - hour workday six days a week was the average and many were working 11 -- 12 hours a day by 1916 ) , constant risk of injury and death from poor safety and sanitary conditions , harsh discipline ( not only rules and fines , but foremen 's fists ) , and inadequate wages ( made worse after 1914 by steep wartime increases in the cost of living ) . At the same time , urban industrial life was full of benefits , though these could be just as dangerous , from the point of view of social and political stability , as the hardships . There were many encouragements to expect more from life . Acquiring new skills gave many workers a sense of self - respect and confidence , heightening expectations and desires . Living in cities , workers encountered material goods such as they had never seen in villages . Most important , living in cities , they were exposed to new ideas about the social and political order . The social causes of the Russian Revolution mainly came from centuries of oppression of the lower classes by the Tsarist regime , and Nicholas 's failures in World War I. While rural agrarian peasants had been emancipated from serfdom in 1861 , they still resented paying redemption payments to the state , and demanded communal tender of the land they worked . The problem was further compounded by the failure of Sergei Witte 's land reforms of the early 20th century . Increasing peasant disturbances and sometimes actual revolts occurred , with the goal of securing ownership of the land they worked . Russia consisted mainly of poor farming peasants , with 1.5 % of the population owning 25 % of the land . The rapid industrialization of Russia also resulted in urban overcrowding and poor conditions for urban industrial workers ( as mentioned above ) . Between 1890 and 1910 , the population of the capital , Saint Petersburg , swelled from 1,033,600 to 1,905,600 , with Moscow experiencing similar growth . This created a new ' proletariat ' which , due to being crowded together in the cities , was much more likely to protest and go on strike than the peasantry had been in previous times . In one 1904 survey , it was found that an average of sixteen people shared each apartment in Saint Petersburg , with six people per room . There was also no running water , and piles of human waste were a threat to the health of the workers . The poor conditions only aggravated the situation , with the number of strikes and incidents of public disorder rapidly increasing in the years shortly before World War I. Because of late industrialization , Russia 's workers were highly concentrated . By 1914 , 40 % of Russian workers were employed in factories of 1,000 + workers ( 32 % in 1901 ) . 42 % worked in 100 -- 1,000 worker enterprises , 18 % in 1 -- 100 worker businesses ( in the US , 1914 , the figures were 18 , 47 and 35 respectively ) . Years Average annual strikes 1862 -- 69 6 1870 -- 84 20 1885 -- 94 33 1895 -- 1905 176 World War I added to the chaos . Conscription swept up the unwilling across Russia . The vast demand for factory production of war supplies and workers caused many more labor riots and strikes . Conscription stripped skilled workers from the cities , who had to be replaced with unskilled peasants , and then , when famine began to hit due to the poor railway system , workers abandoned the cities in droves seeking food . Finally , the soldiers themselves , who suffered from a lack of equipment and protection from the elements , began to turn against the Tsar . This was mainly because , as the war progressed , many of the officers who were loyal to the Tsar were killed , and were replaced by discontented conscripts from the major cities , who had little loyalty to the Tsar . The Petrograd Soviet Assembly meeting in 1917 Political issues Many sections of the country had reason to be dissatisfied with the existing autocracy . Nicholas II was a deeply conservative ruler and maintained a strict authoritarian system . Individuals and society in general were expected to show self - restraint , devotion to community , deference to the social hierarchy and a sense of duty to the country . Religious faith helped bind all of these tenets together as a source of comfort and reassurance in the face of difficult conditions and as a means of political authority exercised through the clergy . Perhaps more than any other modern monarch , Nicholas II attached his fate and the future of his dynasty to the notion of the ruler as a saintly and infallible father to his people . This idealized vision of the Romanov monarchy blinded him to the actual state of his country . With a firm belief that his power to rule was granted by Divine Right , Nicholas assumed that the Russian people were devoted to him with unquestioning loyalty . This ironclad belief rendered Nicholas unwilling to allow the progressive reforms that might have alleviated the suffering of the Russian people . Even after the 1905 revolution spurred the Tsar to decree limited civil rights and democratic representation , he worked to limit even these liberties in order to preserve the ultimate authority of the crown . Despite constant oppression , the desire of the people for democratic participation in government decisions was strong . Since the Age of Enlightenment , Russian intellectuals had promoted Enlightenment ideals such as the dignity of the individual and the rectitude of democratic representation . These ideals were championed most vociferously by Russia 's liberals , although populists , Marxists , and anarchists also claimed to support democratic reforms . A growing opposition movement had begun to challenge the Romanov monarchy openly well before the turmoil of World War I . Dissatisfaction with Russian autocracy culminated in the huge national upheaval that followed the Bloody Sunday massacre of January 1905 , in which hundreds of unarmed protesters were shot by the Tsar 's troops . Workers responded to the massacre with a crippling general strike , forcing Nicholas to put forth the October Manifesto , which established a democratically elected parliament ( the State Duma ) . The Tsar undermined this promise of reform but a year later with Article 87 of the 1906 Fundamental State Laws , and subsequently dismissed the first two Dumas when they proved uncooperative . Unfulfilled hopes of democracy fueled revolutionary ideas and violent outbursts targeted at the monarchy . One of the Tsar 's principal rationales for risking war in 1914 was his desire to restore the prestige that Russia had lost amid the debacles of the Russo - Japanese war . Nicholas also sought to foster a greater sense of national unity with a war against a common and ancient enemy . The Russian Empire was an agglomeration of diverse ethnicities that had shown significant signs of disunity in the years before the First World War . Nicholas believed in part that the shared peril and tribulation of a foreign war would mitigate the social unrest over the persistent issues of poverty , inequality , and inhuman working conditions . Instead of restoring Russia 's political and military standing , World War I led to the horrifying slaughter of Russian troops and military defeats that undermined both the monarchy and society in general to the point of collapse . World war I The outbreak of war in August 1914 initially served to quiet the prevalent social and political protests , focusing hostilities against a common external enemy , but this patriotic unity did not last long . As the war dragged on inconclusively , war - weariness gradually took its toll . More important , though , was a deeper fragility : although many ordinary Russians joined anti-German demonstrations in the first few weeks of the war , the most widespread reaction appears to have been skepticism and fatalism . Hostility toward the Kaiser and the desire to defend their land and their lives did not necessarily translate into enthusiasm for the Tsar or the government . Russia 's first major battle of the war was a disaster : in the 1914 Battle of Tannenberg , over 30,000 Russian troops were killed or wounded and 90,000 captured , while Germany suffered just 12,000 casualties . However , Austro - Hungarian forces allied to Germany were driven back deep into the Galicia region by the end of the year . In the autumn of 1915 , Nicholas had taken direct command of the army , personally overseeing Russia 's main theatre of war and leaving his ambitious but incapable wife Alexandra in charge of the government . Reports of corruption and incompetence in the Imperial government began to emerge , and the growing influence of Grigori Rasputin in the Imperial family was widely resented . In the eyes of Michael Lynch , a revisionist historian ( member of the School of Historical Studies at the University of Leicester ) who focuses on the role of the people , Rasputin was a `` fatal disease '' to the Tsarist regime . In 1915 , things took a critical turn for the worse when Germany shifted its focus of attack to the Eastern front . The superior German army -- better led , better trained and better supplied -- was terrifyingly effective against the ill - equipped Russian forces , driving the Russians out of Galicia , as well as Russian Poland , during the Gorlice -- Tarnów Offensive campaign . By the end of October 1916 , Russia had lost between 1,600,000 and 1,800,000 soldiers , with an additional 2,000,000 prisoners of war and 1,000,000 missing , all making up a total of nearly 5,000,000 men . These staggering losses played a definite role in the mutinies and revolts that began to occur . In 1916 , reports of fraternizing with the enemy started to circulate . Soldiers went hungry , and lacked shoes , munitions , and even weapons . Rampant discontent lowered morale , which was further undermined by a series of military defeats . Russian troops awaiting German attack in trenches Casualty rates were the most vivid sign of this disaster . Already , by the end of 1914 , only five months into the war , around 390,000 Russian men had lost their lives and nearly 1,000,000 were injured . Far sooner than expected , barely trained recruits had to be called up for active duty , a process repeated throughout the war as staggering losses continued to mount . The officer class also saw remarkable changes , especially within the lower echelons , which were quickly filled with soldiers rising up through the ranks . These men , usually of peasant or working - class backgrounds , were to play a large role in the politicization of the troops in 1917 . The huge losses on the battlefields were not limited to men . The army quickly ran short of rifles and ammunition ( as well as uniforms and food ) , and , by mid-1915 , men were being sent to the front bearing no arms . It was hoped that they could equip themselves with the arms that they recovered from fallen soldiers , of both sides , on the battlefields . The soldiers did not feel that they were being treated as valuable soldiers , or even as human beings , but rather as raw materials to be squandered for the purposes of the rich and powerful . By the spring of 1915 , the army was in steady retreat , which was not always orderly ; desertion , plunder and chaotic flight were not uncommon . By 1916 , however , the situation had improved in many respects . Russian troops stopped retreating , and there were even some modest successes in the offensives that were staged that year , albeit at great loss of life . Also , the problem of shortages was largely solved by a major effort to increase domestic production . Nevertheless , by the end of 1916 , morale among soldiers was even worse than it had been during the great retreat of 1915 . The fortunes of war may have improved , but the fact of the war , still draining away strength and lives from the country and its many individuals and families , remained an oppressive inevitability . The crisis in morale ( as was argued by Allan Wildman , a leading historian of the Russian army in war and revolution ) `` was rooted fundamentally in the feeling of utter despair that the slaughter would ever end and that anything resembling victory could be achieved . '' The war devastated not only soldiers . By the end of 1915 , there were manifold signs that the economy was breaking down under the heightened strain of wartime demand . The main problems were food shortages and rising prices . Inflation dragged incomes down at an alarmingly rapid rate , and shortages made it difficult to buy even what one could afford . These shortages were a problem especially in the capital , St. Petersburg , where distance from supplies and poor transportation networks made matters particularly bad . Shops closed early or entirely for lack of bread , sugar , meat and other provisions , and lines lengthened massively for what remained . It became increasingly difficult both to afford and actually buy food . Not surprisingly , strikes increased steadily from the middle of 1915 , and so did crime ; but , for the most part , people suffered and endured , scouring the city for food . Working class women in St. Petersburg reportedly spent about forty hours a week in food lines , begging , turning to prostitution or crime , tearing down wooden fences to keep stoves heated for warmth , grumbling about the rich , and wondering when and how this would all come to an end . Government officials responsible for public order worried about how long people 's patience would last . A report by the St. Petersburg branch of the security police , the Okhrana , in October 1916 , warned bluntly of `` the possibility in the near future of riots by the lower classes of the empire enraged by the burdens of daily existence . '' Nicholas was blamed for all of these crises , and what little support he had left began to crumble . As discontent grew , the State Duma issued a warning to Nicholas in November 1916 . It stated that , inevitably , a terrible disaster would grip the country unless a constitutional form of government was put in place . Nicholas ignored these warnings and Russia 's Tsarist regime collapsed a few months later during the February Revolution of 1917 . One year later , the Tsar and his entire family were executed . February Revolution Main article : February Revolution Revolutionaries protesting in February 1917 Meeting Germans in No Man 's Land Meeting before the Russian wire entanglements At the beginning of February , Petrograd workers began several strikes and demonstrations . On 7 March ( O.S. 22 February ) , workers at Putilov , Petrograd 's largest industrial plant , announced a strike . The next day , a series of meetings and rallies were held for International Women 's Day , which gradually turned into economic and political gatherings . Demonstrations were organised to demand bread , and these were supported by the industrial working force who considered them a reason for continuing the strikes . The women workers marched to nearby factories bringing out over 50,000 workers on strike . By 10 March ( O.S. 25 February ) , virtually every industrial enterprise in Petrograd had been shut down , together with many commercial and service enterprises . Students , white - collar workers and teachers joined the workers in the streets and at public meetings . To quell the riots , the Tsar looked to the army . At least 180,000 troops were available in the capital , but most were either untrained or injured . Historian Ian Beckett suggests around 12,000 could be regarded as reliable , but even these proved reluctant to move in on the crowd , since it included so many women . It was for this reason that when , on 11 March ( O.S. 26 February ) , the Tsar ordered the army to suppress the rioting by force , troops began to mutiny . Although few actively joined the rioting , many officers were either shot or went into hiding ; the ability of the garrison to hold back the protests was all but nullified , symbols of the Tsarist regime were rapidly torn down around the city , and governmental authority in the capital collapsed -- not helped by the fact that Nicholas had prorogued the Duma that morning , leaving it with no legal authority to act . The response of the Duma , urged on by the liberal bloc , was to establish a Temporary Committee to restore law and order ; meanwhile , the socialist parties establish the Petrograd Soviet to represent workers and soldiers . The remaining loyal units switched allegiance the next day . The Tsar directed the royal train back towards Petrograd , which was stopped 14 March ( O.S. 1 March ) , by a group of revolutionaries at Malaya Vishera . When the Tsar finally arrived at in Pskov , the Army Chief Nikolai Ruzsky , and the Duma deputees Guchkov and Vasily Shulgin suggested in unison that he abdicate the throne . He did so on 15 March ( O.S. 2 March ) , on behalf of himself , and then , having taken advice , on behalf of his son , the Tsarevich . Nicholas nominated his brother , the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich , to succeed him . But the Grand Duke realised that he would have little support as ruler , so he declined the crown on 16 March ( O.S. 3 March ) , stating that he would take it only if that was the consensus of democratic action . Six days later , Nicholas , no longer Tsar and addressed with contempt by the sentries as `` Nicholas Romanov '' , was reunited with his family at the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo . He was placed under house arrest with his family by the Provisional Government . The immediate effect of the February Revolution was a widespread atmosphere of elation and excitement in Petrograd . On 16 March ( O.S. 3 March ) , a provisional government was announced . The center - left was well represented , and the government was initially chaired by a liberal aristocrat , Prince Georgy Yevgenievich Lvov , a member of the Constitutional Democratic party ( KD ) . The socialists had formed their rival body , the Petrograd Soviet ( or workers ' council ) four days earlier . The Petrograd Soviet and the Provisional Government competed for power over Russia . Between February and throughout October : `` dual power '' ( dvoevlastie ) The effective power of the Provisional Government was challenged by the authority of an institution that claimed to represent the will of workers and soldiers and could , in fact , mobilize and control these groups during the early months of the revolution -- the Petrograd Soviet ( Council ) of Workers ' Deputies . The model for the soviet were workers ' councils that had been established in scores of Russian cities during the 1905 Revolution . In February 1917 , striking workers elected deputies to represent them and socialist activists began organizing a citywide council to unite these deputies with representatives of the socialist parties . On 27 February , socialist Duma deputies , mainly Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries , took the lead in organizing a citywide council . The Petrograd Soviet met in the Tauride Palace , the same building where the new government was taking shape . The leaders of the Petrograd Soviet believed that they represented particular classes of the population , not the whole nation . They also believed Russia was not ready for socialism . So they saw their role as limited to pressuring hesitant `` bourgeoisie '' to rule and to introduce extensive democratic reforms in Russia ( the replacement of the monarchy by a republic , guaranteed civil rights , a democratic police and army , abolition of religious and ethnic discrimination , preparation of elections to a constituent assembly , and so on ) . They met in the same building as the emerging Provisional Government not to compete with the Duma Committee for state power but to best exert pressure on the new government , to act , in other words , as a popular democratic lobby . The relationship between these two major powers was complex from the beginning and would shape the politics of 1917 . The representatives of the Provisional Government agreed to `` take into account the opinions of the Soviet of Workers ' Deputies '' , though they were also determined to prevent `` interference in the actions of the government '' , which would create `` an unacceptable situation of dual power . '' In fact , this was precisely what was being created , though this `` dual power '' ( dvoevlastie ) was the result less of the actions or attitudes of the leaders of these two institutions than of actions outside their control , especially the ongoing social movement taking place on the streets of Russia 's cities , in factories and shops , in barracks and in the trenches , and in the villages . The 2nd Moscow Women Death Battalion protecting the Winter Palace as the last guards of the stronghold . A series of political crises -- see the chronology below -- in the relationship between population and government and between the Provisional Government and the soviets ( which developed into a nationwide movement with a national leadership , The All - Russian Central Executive Committee of Soviets ( VTsIK ) ) undermined the authority of the Provisional Government but also of the moderate socialist leaders of the Soviet . Although the Soviet leadership initially refused to participate in the `` bourgeois '' Provisional Government , Alexander Kerensky , a young and popular lawyer and a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party ( SRP ) , agreed to join the new cabinet , and became an increasingly central figure in the government , eventually taking leadership of the Provisional Government . As minister of war and later Prime Minister , Kerensky promoted freedom of speech , released thousands of political prisoners , did his very best to continue the war effort and even organised another offensive ( which , however , was no more successful than its predecessors ) . Nevertheless , Kerensky still faced several great challenges , highlighted by the soldiers , urban workers and peasants , who claimed that they had gained nothing by the revolution : Other political groups were trying to undermine him . Heavy military losses were being suffered on the front . The soldiers were dissatisfied and demoralised and had started to defect . ( On arrival back in Russia , these soldiers were either imprisoned or sent straight back into the front . ) There was enormous discontent with Russia 's involvement in the war , and many were calling for an end to it . There were great shortages of food and supplies , which was difficult to remedy because of the wartime economic conditions . The political group that proved most troublesome for Kerensky , and would eventually overthrow him , was the Bolshevik Party , led by Vladimir Lenin . Lenin had been living in exile in neutral Switzerland and , due to democratization of politics after the February Revolution , which legalized formerly banned political parties , he perceived the opportunity for his Marxist revolution . Although return to Russia had become a possibility , the war made it logistically difficult . Eventually , German officials arranged for Lenin to pass through their territory , hoping that his activities would weaken Russia or even -- if the Bolsheviks came to power -- led to Russia 's withdrawal from the war . Lenin and his associates , however , had to agree to travel to Russia in a sealed train : Germany would not take the chance that he would foment revolution in Germany . After passing through the front , he arrived in Petrograd in April 1917 . On the way to Russia , Lenin prepared the April Theses , which outlined central Bolshevik policies . These included that the soviets take power ( as seen in the slogan `` all power to the soviets '' ) and denouncing the liberals and social revolutionaries in the Provisional Government , forbidding co-operation with it . Many Bolsheviks , however , had supported the Provisional Government , including Lev Kamenev . Street demonstration on Nevsky Prospekt in Petrograd just after troops of the Provisional Government opened fire in the July Days With Lenin 's arrival , the popularity of the Bolsheviks increased steadily . Over the course of the spring , public dissatisfaction with the Provisional Government and the war , in particular among workers , soldiers and peasants , pushed these groups to radical parties . Despite growing support for the Bolsheviks , buoyed by maxims that called most famously for `` all power to the Soviets , '' the party held very little real power in the moderate - dominated Petrograd Soviet . In fact , historians such as Sheila Fitzpatrick have asserted that Lenin 's exhortations for the Soviet Council to take power were intended to arouse indignation both with the Provisional Government , whose policies were viewed as conservative , and the Soviet itself , which was viewed as subservient to the conservative government . By some historians ' accounts , Lenin and his followers were unprepared for how their groundswell of support , especially among influential worker and soldier groups , would translate into real power in the summer of 1917 . Soviets attacking the tsarist police in the early days of the March Revolution . On 18 June , the Provisional Government launched an attack against Germany that failed miserably . Soon after , the government ordered soldiers to go to the front , reneging on a promise . The soldiers refused to follow the new orders . The arrival of radical Kronstadt sailors -- who had tried and executed many officers , including one admiral -- further fueled the growing revolutionary atmosphere . The sailors and soldiers , along with Petrograd workers , took to the streets in violent protest , calling for `` all power to the Soviets . '' The revolt , however , was disowned by Lenin and the Bolshevik leaders and dissipated within a few days . In the aftermath , Lenin fled to Finland under threat of arrest while Trotsky , among other prominent Bolsheviks , was arrested . The July Days confirmed the popularity of the anti-war , radical Bolsheviks , but their unpreparedness at the moment of revolt was an embarrassing gaffe that lost them support among their main constituent groups : soldiers and workers . The Bolshevik failure in the July Days proved temporary . The Bolsheviks had undergone a spectacular growth in membership . Whereas , in February 1917 , the Bolsheviks were limited to only 24,000 members , by September 1917 there were 200,000 members of the Bolshevik faction . Previously , the Bolsheviks had been in the minority in the two leading cities of Russia -- St. Petersburg and Moscow behind the Mensheviks and the Socialist Revolutionaries , by September the Bolsheviks were in the majority in both cities . Furthermore , the Bolshevik - controlled Moscow Regional Bureau of the Party also controlled the Party organizations of the thirteen ( 13 ) provinces around Moscow . These thirteen provinces held 37 % of Russia 's population and 20 % of the membership of the Bolshevik faction . In August , poor or misleading communication led General Lavr Kornilov , the recently appointed Supreme Commander of Russian military forces , to believe that the Petrograd government had already been captured by radicals , or was in serious danger thereof . In response , he ordered troops to Petrograd to pacify the city . To secure his position , Kerensky had to ask for Bolshevik assistance . He also sought help from the Petrograd Soviet , which called upon armed Red Guards to `` defend the revolution '' . The Kornilov Affair failed largely due to the efforts of the Bolsheviks , whose influence over railroad and telegraph workers proved vital in stopping the movement of troops . With his coup failing , Kornilov surrendered and was relieved of his position . The Bolsheviks ' role in stopping the attempted coup further strengthened their position . In early September , the Petrograd Soviet freed all jailed Bolsheviks and Trotsky became chairman of the Petrograd Soviet . Growing numbers of socialists and lower - class Russians viewed the government less and less as a force in support of their needs and interests . The Bolsheviks benefited as the only major organized opposition party that had refused to compromise with the Provisional Government , and they benefited from growing frustration and even disgust with other parties , such as the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries , who stubbornly refused to break with the idea of national unity across all classes . In Finland , Lenin had worked on his book State and Revolution and continued to lead his party , writing newspaper articles and policy decrees . By October , he returned to Petrograd ( St. Petersburg ) , aware that the increasingly radical city presented him no legal danger and a second opportunity for revolution . Recognising the strength of the Bolsheviks , Lenin began pressing for the immediate overthrow of the Kerensky government by the Bolsheviks . Lenin was of the opinion that taking power should occur in both St. Petersburg and Moscow simultaneously , parenthetically stating that it made no difference which city rose up first , but expressing his opinion that Moscow may well rise up first . The Bolshevik Central Committee drafted a resolution , calling for the dissolution of the Provisional Government in favor of the Petrograd Soviet . The resolution was passed 10 -- 2 ( Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev prominently dissenting ) and the October Revolution began . October Revolution Main article : October Revolution The October Revolution was led by Vladimir Lenin and was based upon Lenin 's writing on the ideas of Karl Marx , a political ideology often known as Marxism -- Leninism . It marked the beginning of the spread of communism in the 20th century . It was far less sporadic than the revolution of February and came about as the result of deliberate planning and coordinated activity to that end . Though Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik Party , it has been argued that since Lenin was not present during the actual takeover of the Winter Palace , it was really Trotsky 's organization and direction that led the revolution , merely spurred by the motivation Lenin instigated within his party . Critics on the Right have long argued that the financial and logistical assistance of German intelligence via their key agent , Alexander Parvus was a key component as well , though historians are divided , since there is little evidence supporting that claim . On 7 November 1917 , Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin led his leftist revolutionaries in a revolt against the ineffective Provisional Government ( Russia was still using the Julian calendar at the time , so period references show a 25 October date ) . The October revolution ended the phase of the revolution instigated in February , replacing Russia 's short - lived provisional parliamentary government with government by soviets , local councils elected by bodies of workers and peasants . Liberal and monarchist forces , loosely organized into the White Army , immediately went to war against the Bolsheviks ' Red Army , in a series of battles that would become known as the Russian Civil War . Soviet membership was initially freely elected , but many members of the Socialist Revolutionary Party , anarchists , and other leftists created opposition to the Bolsheviks through the soviets themselves . When it became clear that the Bolsheviks had little support outside of the industrialized areas of Saint Petersburg and Moscow , they simply barred non-Bolsheviks from membership in the soviets . Not surprisingly , this caused mass domestic tension with many individuals who called for another series of political reform , revolting , and calling for `` a third Russian revolution , '' a movement that received a significant amount of support . The most notable instances of this anti-Bolshevik mentality were expressed in the Tambov rebellion , 1919 -- 1921 , and the Kronstadt rebellion in March 1921 . These movements , which made a wide range of demands and lacked effective coordination , were eventually defeated along with the White Army during the Civil War . Russian Civil war American , British , and Japanese Troops parade through Vladivostok in armed support to the White Army Main articles : Russian Civil War and Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War The Russian Civil War , which broke out in 1918 shortly after the October Revolution , brought death and suffering to millions of people regardless of their political orientation . The war was fought mainly between the Red Army ( `` Reds '' ) , consisting of the uprising majority led by the Bolshevik minority , and the `` Whites '' -- army officers and cossacks , the `` bourgeoisie '' , and political groups ranging from the far Right to the Socialist Revolutionaries who opposed the drastic restructuring championed by the Bolsheviks following the collapse of the Provisional Government to the soviets ( under clear Bolshevik dominance ) . The Whites had backing from nations such as Great Britain , France , USA and Japan , while the Reds possessed internal support which proved to be much more effective . Though the Allied nations , using external interference , provided substantial military aid to the loosely knit anti-Bolshevik forces , they were ultimately defeated . The Bolsheviks firstly assumed power in Petrograd , expanding their rule outwards . They eventually reached the Easterly Siberian Russian coast in Vladivostok , 4 years after the war began , an occupation that is believed to have ended all significant military campaigns in the nation . Less than one year later the last area controlled by the White Army , the Ayano - Maysky District , directly to the north of the Krai containing Vladivostok , was given up when General Anatoly Pepelyayev capitulated in 1923 . Several revolts were initiated against the Bolsheviks and their army near the end of the war , notably the Kronstadt Rebellion . This was a naval mutiny engineered by Soviet Baltic sailors , former Red Army soldiers , and the people of Kronstadt . This armed uprising was fought against the antagonizing Bolshevik economic policies that farmers were subjected to , including seizures of grain crops by the Communists . This all amounted to large - scale discontent . When delegates representing the Kronstadt sailors arrived at Petrograd for negotiations , they raised 15 demands primarily pertaining to the Russian right to freedom . The Government firmly denounced the rebellions and labelled the requests as a reminder of the Social Revolutionaries , a political party that was popular among Soviets before Lenin , but refused to cooperate with the Bolshevik Army . The Government then responded with an armed suppression of these revolts and suffered 10 thousand casualties before entering the city of Kronstadt . This ended the rebellions fairly quickly , causing many of the rebels to flee to political exile . During the Civil War , Nestor Makhno led a Ukrainian anarchist movement , the Black Army allied to the Bolsheviks thrice , one of the powers ending the alliance each time . However , a Bolshevik force under Mikhail Frunze destroyed the Makhnovist movement , when the Makhnovists refused to merge into the Red Army . In addition , the so - called `` Green Army '' ( peasants defending their property against the opposing forces ) played a secondary role in the war , mainly in the Ukraine . Execution of the Imperial family Main article : Shooting of the Romanov family The Bolsheviks executed the tsar and his family on 16 July 1918 . In early March , the Provisional Government placed Nicholas and his family under house arrest in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo , 24 kilometres ( 15 mi ) south of Petrograd . In August 1917 the Kerensky government evacuated the Romanovs to Tobolsk in the Urals , to protect them from the rising tide of revolution . After the Bolsheviks came to power in October 1917 , the conditions of their imprisonment grew stricter and talk of putting Nicholas on trial increased . As the counter revolutionary White movement gathered force , leading to full - scale civil war by the summer , the Romanovs were moved during April and May 1918 to Yekaterinburg , a militant Bolshevik stronghold . During the early morning of 16 July , Nicholas , Alexandra , their children , their physician , and several servants were taken into the basement and shot . According to Edvard Radzinsky and Dmitrii Volkogonov , the order came directly from Lenin and Sverdlov in Moscow . That the order came from the top has long been believed , although there is a lack of hard evidence . The execution may have been carried out on the initiative of local Bolshevik officials , or it may have been an option pre-approved in Moscow should White troops approach Yekaterinburg . Radzinsky noted that Lenin 's bodyguard personally delivered the telegram ordering the execution and that he was ordered to destroy the evidence . The Revolution and the World Main article : Revolutions of 1917 -- 1923 Leon Trotsky said that the goal of socialism in Russia would not be realized without the success of the world revolution . Indeed , a revolutionary wave caused by the Russian Revolution lasted until 1923 . Despite initial hopes for success in the German Revolution of 1918 -- 19 , in the short - lived Hungarian Soviet Republic and others like it , no other Marxist movement at the time succeeded in keeping power in its hands . This issue is subject to conflicting views on the communist history by various Marxist groups and parties . Joseph Stalin later rejected this idea , stating that socialism was possible in one country . The confusion regarding Stalin 's position on the issue stems from the fact that he , after Lenin 's death in 1924 , successfully used Lenin 's argument -- the argument that socialism 's success needs the workers of other countries in order to happen -- to defeat his competitors within the party by accusing them of betraying Lenin and , therefore , the ideals of the October Revolution . Historiography Main article : October Revolution § Historiography Few events in historical research have been as conditioned by political influences as the October Revolution . The historiography of the Revolution generally divides into three camps : the Soviet - Marxist view , the Western - Totalitarian view , and the Revisionist view . Since the fall of Communism in Russia in 1991 , the Western - Totalitarian view has again become dominant and the Soviet - Marxist view has practically vanished . Lenin 's biographer Robert Service , says he , `` laid the foundations of dictatorship and lawlessness . Lenin had consolidated the principle of state penetration of the whole society , its economy and its culture . Lenin had practised terror and advocated revolutionary amoralism .

About Wikipedia | who was the leader of the bolsheviks when they overthrew the russian monarchy | [
"On 7 November 1917, Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin led his leftist revolutionaries in a revolt against the ineffective Provisional Government (Russia was still using the Julian calendar at the time, so period references show a 25 October date). The October revolution ended the phase of the revolution instigated in February, replacing Russia's short-lived provisional parliamentary government with government by soviets, local councils elected by bodies of workers and peasants. Liberal and monarchist forces, loosely organized into the White Army, immediately went to war against the Bolsheviks' Red Army, in a series of battles that would become known as the Russian Civil War."

The hook was coined during a conversation between Ice - T & Brother Marquis of Miami - based 2 Live Crew . Marquis later used the phrase in the 1996 2 Live Crew song `` Table Dance '' . In the song , Jay - Z tells a story about dealing with rap critics , racial profiling from a police officer who wants to search his car , and an aggressor . The song reached number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 .

Rubin provided Jay - Z with a guitar riff and stripped - down beat that were once his trademarks . In creating the track Rubin used some classic 1980s sample staples such as `` The Big Beat '' by Billy Squier , `` Long Red '' by Mountain , and `` Get Me Back On Time '' by Wilson Pickett . The title and chorus are derived from Ice - T 's `` 99 Problems '' from his 1993 album Home Invasion . The song featured Brother Marquis of 2 Live Crew . The original song was more profane and describes a wide range of sexual conquests . Ice - T would re-record his version of the song with the Rubin / Jay - Z guitar riff for Body Count 's 2014 album Manslaughter in order to `` reclaim '' the hook from being mis - attributed to Jay - Z . Portions of Ice - T 's original lyrics were similarly quoted in a song by fellow rapper Trick Daddy on a track also titled `` 99 Problems '' from his 2001 album Thugs Are Us . Jay - Z begins his third verse directly quoting lines from Bun B 's opening verse off the track `` Touched '' from the UGK album Ridin ' Dirty . Analysis ( edit ) The song has been one of the most discussed songs of the decade . The second verse , describing Jay - Z 's traffic stop , has received much more attention than the rest of the song . The second verse was based on an actual experience of Jay - Z in the 1990s in New Jersey . Jay - Z wrote that in 1994 he was pulled over by police while carrying cocaine in a secret compartment in his sunroof . Jay - Z refused to let the police search the car and the police called for the drug sniffing dogs . However , the dogs never showed up and the police had to let Jay - Z go . Moments after he drove away , he wrote that he saw a police car with the dogs drive by . Jay - Z 's contention that he was pulled over for being black was later confirmed to have been common practice by the New Jersey police . In 2011 Southwestern Law School Professor Caleb Mason wrote an article with a line - by - line analysis of the second verse of the song from a legal perspective referencing the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution , citing it as a useful tool for teaching law students search and seizure law involving search warrants , Terry stops , racial profiling , the exclusionary rule , and the motor vehicle exception . The article notes the song lyrics are legally incorrect in indicating that a driver can refuse an order to exit the car and that police would need a warrant to search a locked glove compartment or trunk . In 2012 , Professor Emir Crowne of the University of Windsor 's , Faculty of Law wrote the Canadian Response to Professor Mason 's article . In it , he concludes that Jay - Z 's lyrics may be legally correct under Canadian Law . While the song 's meaning is widely debated , the chorus `` If you 're having girl problems , I feel bad for you son / I 've got 99 problems but a bitch ai n't one '' was defined in Jay - Z 's book , Decoded , as referring to something different in each verse . In verse two , it refers to a police dog . President Obama quipped , in his humorous monologue at the White House Correspondents ' Dinner on April 27 , 2013 : `` Some things are beyond my control . For example , this whole controversy about Jay - Z going to Cuba - it 's unbelievable . I 've got 99 problems and now Jay - Z is one . '' Reception ( edit ) The song garnered widespread acclaim . The song came in at # 2 on Rolling Stone 's top 100 songs of the ' 00s . On the updated list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time , the song was added and came in at # 172 . The song was listed at # 14 on Pitchfork Media 's top 500 songs of the 2000s ( decade ) and in October 2011 , NME placed it at number 24 on its list `` 150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years '' . Jack White has hailed the song , describing it as `` the story of America ... in a nutshell , ( it 's ) the story of all the struggles in America , black or white , ( and of ) class systems '' . The song won Best Rap Solo Performance at the 47th Grammy Awards . Covers and performances ( edit ) In 2008 , the song was memorably covered by Barry Chuckle of British children 's comedy duo The Chuckle Brothers as part of BBC Radio 1 's Scott Mills show . Mills described the cover as `` superior , in essence , to the original '' . On January 21 , 2009 , Jay - Z performed the song as part of his set at the Staff Ball , the last official event of Barack Obama 's inauguration . The ball was exclusively for 4,000 staffers who had worked on Obama 's campaign . Jay - Z tweaked the lyrics to suit the historic atmosphere , and the crowd sang along : `` I got 99 problems but a Bush ai n't one '' , replacing `` bitch '' with the name of the former President . At a rally for President Barack Obama in November 2012 Jay - Z changed the lyrics of the song to `` If you having world problems I feel bad for you son / I got 99 problems but Mitt ai n't one . '' Eminem referenced the lyrics in his song `` So Much Better '' track , part of The Marshall Mathers LP 2 album , with `` I got 99 problems and a bitch ai n't one / She 's all 99 of ' em ; I need a machine gun '' . Danger Mouse famously remixed this song with samples from `` Helter Skelter '' by The Beatles as part of his oft - bootlegged album The Grey Album . The track was also remixed with Linkin Park for the EP Collision Course , being mixed with the Linkin Park songs `` Points of Authority '' and `` One Step Closer '' . The thrash metal group Body Count combined the lyrics of Ice - T 's `` 99 Problems '' with the guitar riff from Jay - Z 's `` 99 Problems '' for the song `` 99 Problems BC '' on the album Manslaughter . Big Sean referenced the lyrics in Drake 's `` All Me '' with the line `` I got 99 problems , getting rich ai n't one '' . Iggy Azalea referenced the lyrics in Ariana Grande 's `` Problem '' with the line `` I got 99 problems but you wo n't be one '' . In 2009 , fellow rapper and collaborator Kid Cudi , referenced the song in the opening verse of his song `` Soundtrack 2 My Life '' with the line `` I got 99 problems and they all bitches '' . The singer Hugo recorded a bluegrass cover of the song in 2011 . There have been several remixes of the track including versions by The Prodigy and Linkin Park . In particular , Jay - Z had been quoted as saying that The Prodigy remix is one of his favorites by keeping the main guitar riff but more heavier and darker which in turn was the inspiration for The Prodigy track ' Spitfire ' written by Liam Howlett and released in 2005 . Music video ( edit ) The music video premiered in April 2004 and was directed by Mark Romanek . It received praises from critics such as Armond White , and was nominated for four MVPA awards in 2005 , of which it won three . It also won the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rap Video , Best Director , Best Editing and Best Cinematography , as well as gaining nominations for Video of the Year and Best Male Video . It was criticized , however , by the Humane Society of the United States for scenes in the video that glorified dog fighting . The video accompanied The Black Album which , at the time , was to be Jay - Z 's final release . Jay - Z has stated that he wanted the video to be as auto - biographical as the rest of the album . The goal for the video was to create a portrait of where Jay - Z grew up . In a conversation with the video 's director , Jay - Z stated that he wanted the video to `` make a pissy wall look like art '' . The job of directing this video was originally intended for Quentin Tarantino , however Rick Rubin suggested that Jay - Z offer the job to Mark Romanek . Due to the research and influence of Romanek and the videos cinematographer , Joaquin Baca Asay , the video borrows visual characteristics from many New York street photographers and black and white photographs ( Martin Dixon and Eugene Richards to name a few ) . The video is shot entirely on black - and - white film . It consists mainly of scenes filmed in close proximity to Jay - Z 's childhood home , The Marcy Houses in Bedford Stuyvesant . These include : Jay - Z and Rubin in a Lexus GS300 being stopped by the police ( lyrical reenactment ) . Jay - Z in the Marcy Houses housing project where he grew up . Break dancers and a group doing a rhythm choreography . Jay - Z performing in Transit Wheelers Motorcycle / Van Club House . Jay - Z on the Brooklyn Bridge . A woman putting on makeup . Inmates of a prison in the Bronx known as Vernon C. Bain Correctional Center . Rick Rubin walking with Vincent Gallo . A funeral director making preparations . A rabbi praying . A dogfight with many spectators , and the owners of the dogs taunting them in preparation for the fight . Members of Alpha Phi Alpha performing a complex Stepping routine . Jay - Z 's lawyer , facilitating bail then reacting to news of his death . African - American motorcycle clubs in front of Transit Wheelers MC Club House in Brooklyn , NY , performing street stunts . Jay - Z being shot with multiple bullets by unseen assailants . This final scene was very controversial as music video networks normally remove any scenes with violent content . On MTV , every airing of the video featured an introduction by John Norris explaining why the network felt it was proper to air the video unedited . The introduction also featured Jay - Z explaining why he felt the scene was important to the video . Jay - Z also made a special introduction for BET . Jay - Z explained that the depiction of a shooting is analogous to the `` death '' of Jay - Z , and the `` rebirth '' of Shawn Carter .

Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise . ( June 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai was initially the story of a young couple , Akshara and Naitik Singhania , who lived in a Marwari joint family in Udaipur . The story showcases their journey as a married couple going through adjustment issues , as parents of young children , and how they learn to love each other as their extended families mature . Now the story focuses on Naira and Kartik Goenka facing the same journey as Naira 's parents , with a youthful twist . 4 years later After an accident , Naitik falls into a coma . Naksh ( Akshara and Naitik 's son ) is now 5 and does n't know about his father . One day , Naitik comes back and although at first Naksh does n't welcome his father , he later accepts him into his life . Soon the family travels and Gayatri ( Naitik 's mother ) dies . Now Rajsekhar ( Naitik 's dad ) is asked to marry someone , and he marries Devyani , who comes with her two children from a divorced marriage . Later , Bhabimaa 's husband dies , and Bhabimaa ( Naitik 's aunt ) blames it on Akshara and kicks her out of the house , after Akshara 's daughter Naira is born . Akshara , Naitik , Naksh , and Naira leave the house . 10 years later Naksh is now a mature adult and Naira is a diva teenager . Akshara and Naitik , along with Naksh and Naira , live in Cape Town . Naksh returns to Udaipur . He tries to clear up the misunderstanding with Bhabimaa . After many days , Akshara is forgiven and is allowed to return . The story then focuses on Naksh . He falls in love with Tara , and preparations for their wedding are made . Just minutes before the ceremony , she breaks up with him . 7 years later The show focuses on teenage Naira , who flees from her house and now lives in Rishikesh , harboring animosity toward her mother . After finding Naira , the story takes a new twist : a love triangle that forms between Kartik ( Naitik 's employee ) , Naira and Gayu ( Naitik 's niece ) . Naira and Kartik have feelings for each other but do n't know that it 's love . Meanwhile , Gayu loves Kartik , unaware that Kartik does n't love her back . When Kartik proposes to Naira , she initially rejects him , but by the time she realizes that Gayu also loves him , she thinks of sacrificing her happiness in favor of Gayu . When Mishti ( Naira 's cousin ) reveals that Kartik loves only Naira , Kartik and Naira confess their love for each other ; Gayatri understands . Kartik does n't want to talk about his family because he hates them . Meanwhile , on Akshara 's birthday , everyone goes for a veneration , but Akshara dies in a car accident . The Singhanias blame Kartik for Akshara 's death as Kartik was found drunk and injured at the accident site . Kartik 's family shows up and supports Kartik . Later , Naira finds that Kartik is not the culprit . She proves Kartik 's innocence by finding the real culprit . Kartik does n't like his father and stepmother as he thinks they were responsible for his mother 's death . Seeing Kartik 's feelings towards the Singhanias , his family approves of their relationship in spite of not being much in favor of it . Several months later The two families ( Goenka and Singhania ) start making preparations for their wedding . Just before the wedding , Kartik discovers the real culprit who ran Akshara over and yearns to tell Naira , but his uncle convinces him that he will tell her . He reneges and tells Naira only that Kartik is missing his mother . Finally , the wedding takes place . A few days later , Naira meets the man whose brother is in jail for killing her mother and learns that Akshara 's accident was caused by Mansi ( Kartik 's cousin ) . The news reaches the Singhanias and they are heartbroken . The Goenkas come to apologize . Naira is initially very hurt and angry with Kartik , but she understands that it 's not his fault . She takes Akshara 's accident case back and forgives Mansi . On Kartik 's birthday , he comes to know that Aditya ( Kartik 's brother in law ) tortures Keerti ( Kartik 's sister ) and , along with Naira , decides to expose him . Eventually , Aditya 's truth comes out and Keerti and Aditya get divorced . Suhasini Goenka ( Kartik 's grandmother ) wants to find a suitable match for Keerti and later forces Naira to get Naksh and Keerti married . Naksh accepts the proposal for the sake of Naira . Another parallel story about Manish and Saumya Goenka ( Kartik 's mother ) is revealed . Saumya was a mental patient and committed suicide a long time ago . Manish ( Kartik 's father ) kept the fact hidden keeping his promise to Saumya . Later , Kartik learns the truth and his misunderstandings regarding Manish get cleared up . Naksh and Keerti marry . Parallel story arcs Parallel with Akshara and Naitik 's stories , the stories of their respective siblings also form significant story arcs in the series . Past plots have been built around the lives of Naitik 's sisters Nandini and Rashmi . The series has also focused on Naitik 's step - siblings . The series also paralleled the story of Akshara - Naitik with that of Varsha - Shaurya . Varsha is Akshara 's best friend , and Shaurya is Akshara 's older brother . After several leaps , Naira and Kartik became the leads of the show . Parallel with Kartik and Naira 's story , the series also focusses on the story of their siblings - Naksh , Gayu , Keerti and Shubham . Cast This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia 's quality standards . The specific problem is : Per WP : TVCAST , cast lists need to be reorganised chronologically , with newer members of the cast being added to the bottom of each list . Ex : Someone introduced in 2009 belongs above someone introduced in 2017 . Note also that `` Former cast '' is not a valid subsection of cast , as cast members do not cease being important just by leaving a TV series . Please help improve this section if you can .
