Before its destruction in the attacks on September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center in New York consisted of two of the world's most recognizable buildings, representing the strength and wealth of New York City in particular and the United States in general.

La KGB es una de las abreviaturas más famosas del siglo XX, y se ha convertido en sinónimo de las tenebrosas y a menudo violentas acciones de la policía secreta de la Unión Soviética y de las agencias de seguridad interna.

En el siglo 8 A.C., Samaria fue una de las más importantes provincias del Imperio Asirio.

Among all the Native American tribes, the Iroquois are some of the most well-documented Native Americans in history. Indigenous to the northeast region of what is now the United States, and parts of Canada, they were among some of the earliest contacts Europeans had with the native tribes. And yet they have remained a constant source of mystery. The name "Iroquois", like many Native American tribal names, is not the name the people knew themselves by, but a word applied to them by their enemies, the Huron, who called them Iroquo (rattlesnake) as an insult.

Today, roses are a sign of love and luxury, but for over 30 years, they provided the symbols for two houses at war for control of England.

It would be nearly impossible for someone to pack more action into 32 years than Bruce Lee, whose name remains practically synonymous with martial arts excellence and kung-fu movies. He was undoubtedly the forerunner to martial arts stars who came in his wake, including Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan, a feat made all the more impressive by the fact that he grew up as a sickly child.
