A huge blizzard hit New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode island leaving up to 58 inches of snow. This caused many cities to close down their transportation systems and work. It is said that the reason this blizzard was made was because Canadian cold arctic winds met warm air from the gulf coast causing this blizzard to form. The reason I chose this event was because it interested me as I have never seen a blizzard before I did not know a huge one hit in the US.

The gold standard act was signed by William McKinley. This standard established gold as the only standard for redeeming paper money. People were able to trade their gold for a piece of paper knowing they can go back whenever and turn their paper into gold or any sort of currency offered. The gold was later valued over $20.67 per Troy ounce. However in 1933 the United States abandoned the gold standard. I. Hose this topic because it interested me especially after finding out that the US abandoned its own act.

Both brothers were pioneers who were credited with the first flight ever. In 1901 the brother had enough data to build their aircraft they would later use to fly. As they begin to build their plane they found problems such as not finding the right motor for it, they then found they would have to build a motor themselves. After some success on December 17, 1903 they decided to take the plane on a test run and were successful. Their first flight was just over 12 seconds and their best of the day was 59 seconds. The reason I chose this topic is because my whole life I’ve been around the airport since both my parents worked there.

In 1906 San Francisco was hit with a 7.9 earthquake. This earthquake quickly destroyed cable cars, building, roads, and even water networks. This earthquake sadly also caused fires which quickly spread and lasted for over 3 days, this was because the firefighters could simply do nothing about the fire because of the damaged water networking systems. It is known that the earthquake caused over 3,000 death and destroyed many peoples homes. Many people were left homeless and were forced to camp out in tents and or seek shelter in offering places. Years later with the help of insurances San Francisco was able to rebuild most building and recover loses. I chose this because I’ve heard about this earthquake although never did any research about it u til I saw it on a timeline event.
