Not only have I answered your questions, I have copied more stuff from Wikipedia, to give you more information
The Battle of Hastings was the most decisive Norman victory in the Norman conquest of England. On October 14, 1066, the Normans of Duke William of Normandy (aka "Guillaume Le Conquérant" in Norman, "William the Conqueror" in English) defeated the Anglo-Saxon army led by King Harold II.
General H. Norman "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf, Jr. (born August 22, 1934) is a retired United States Army general who, while he served as Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Central Command, was commander of the Coalition Forces in the Gulf War of 1991.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945), often referred to by his initials FDR, was the 32nd President of the United States and was elected to four terms in office. He served from 1933 to 1945, and is the only U.S. President to have served more than two terms. A central figure of the 20th century, he has been ranked by scholarly surveys among the three greatest U.S. Presidents. (USA declared war on Japan on December 8 1941 after Pearl Harbour. On December 11th 1941, Germany declared war on USA)
Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940) was a Conservative British politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940.
(WWII: UK, France and Australia declared war in September 2nd 1939, so Chamberlain was PM when war broke out - Churchill was after him, and became PM on May 10 1940 - USA declared its neutrality on September 5th)
Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940) was a Conservative British politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940.
Europe had long enjoyed a safe passage to China and India— sources of valued goods such as silk and spices — under the hegemony of the Mongol Empire (the Pax Mongolica, or "Mongol peace"). With the Fall of Constantinople to the Muslims in 1453, the land route to Asia was no longer an easy route. Portuguese sailors took to traveling south around Africa to get to Asia. Columbus had a different idea. By the 1480s, he had developed a plan to travel to the Indies, then construed roughly as all of south and east Asia, by sailing directly west across the "Ocean Sea" i.e. the Atlantic.
The pendulum was discovered by Ibn Yunusbl during the 10th century, who was the first to study and document its oscillatory motion. Its value for use in clocks was introduced by physicists during the 17th century, following observations from Galileo.
The first thermometer was a thermoscope. Different versions of the thermoscope were invented by several inventors around the same time. The first to put a numerical scale on the thermoscopes was the Italian inventor Santorio Santorio. In 1593, Galileo Galilei invented a rudimentary water thermometer (using the contraction of air to draw water up a tube). In 1714, Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer.#
It is impossible to say who invented the compound microscope. Dutch spectacle-makers Hans Janssen and his son Zacharias Janssen are often said to have invented the first compound microscope in 1590, but this was a declaration by Zacharias Janssen himself halfway through the 17th century. The date is certainly not likely, as it has been shown that Zacharias Janssen actually was born around 1590. Another favorite for the title of 'inventor of the microscope' was Galileo Galilei. He developed an occhiolino or compound microscope with a convex and a concave lens in 1609. Galilei's microscope was celebrated in the ´Lynx academy´ founded by Federico Cesi in 1603. Francesco Stelluti's drawing of three bees were part of pope Urban VIII´s seal, and count as the first microscopic figure published (see Stephen Jay Gould, The Lying stones of Marrakech, 2000). Christiaan Huygens, another Dutchman, developed a simple 2-lens ocular system in the late 1600's that was achromatically corrected and therefore a huge step forward in microscope development. Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) is generally credited with bringing the microscope to the attention of biologists, even though simple magnifying lenses were already being produced in the 1500's, and the magnifying principle of water-filled glass bowls had been described by the Romans (Seneca).
Catherine Parr (c.1512 – 7 September 1548), was the Queen Consort of Henry VIII of England (1543–1547), the last of his six wives. Dowager Queen of England, she has a special place in history as the most married queen of England, having had four husbands in all.
Persia is a country in the middle East. The exact meaning varies:
It is a traditional Western name for Iran. Persia also refers to the Persian Empire of ancient times. Persia is a specific region within Iran, from which the Persians originally came. It is also refered to by the Iranian language name of Pars, or the more common Arabicised version, Fārs.
Iran has been the subject of a naming dispute in common English usage. The two possible names for this country are Iran and Persia; their adjectives being Iranian and Persian, respectively.In Latin, the name for the land was Persia. The name "Persia" until 1935 was the "official" name of Iran in the world, but Persian people inside their country since the Sassanid period have called it "Iran" meaning "the land of Aryans", the older version of which had been "Aryānām" (the genitive plural of the word Aryan, a cognate form of which is seen in "Airyanem Vaejah" ) as seen in ancient Persian texts.
