Tempel 1 is a periodic comet (formally designated 9P/Tempel 1). It was discovered on April 3, 1867 by Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel, an astronomer working in Marseille. At the time of discovery, it approached perihelion once every 5.68 years (designations 9P/1867 G1 and 1867 II). It was subsequently observed in 1873 (9P/1873 G1, 1873 I, 1873a) and in 1879 (1879 III, 1879b). However, Tempel 1's orbit occasionally brings it sufficiently close to Jupiter to be altered and its orbital period consequently change. This event occurre ...

In terms of political structure, Canada is a federal state and not a confederate association of sovereign states. However, Canada is commonly reckoned – in addition to Switzerland, whose official name in English is the Swiss Confederation – among the world's most decentralised federations. In a Canadian context, Confederation generally describes the political process that united the colonies in the 1860s and related events, and the subsequent incorporation of other colonies and territories. The term Confederation< ...

The Lincoln Monument Association was incorporated by the United States Congress in March 1867 to build a memorial to Lincoln. Little progress was made until the site was chosen in 1901, in an area that was swampland, and the first stone of the Lincoln Memorial was not put into place until Lincoln's birthday, February 12, 1915. The monument was dedicated by Warren G. Harding on May 30, 1922, attended by the former President's only surviving child, Robert Todd Lincoln. It won for its architect, the prominent Beaux-Arts designer Henry Bacon, th ...

The island eventually became so identified with the temple that, as a reminder of the miraculous event, it was modeled to resemble a Ship. Travertine facing resembling a ship's prow and stern were added by the banks, and an obelisk was erected in the middle, symbolizing the vessel's mast. Walls were put around it, so that the island actually came to resemble a Roman ship. In the Christian age the obelisk was replaced by a column with a cross on the top. After it was destroyed in 1867 Pope Pius IX had an aedicula, called Spire, put in ...

Agitation for union or confederation of the colonies within BNA grew in the first half of the 19th century. After the rebellions of 1837-8, the colonies of Lower and Upper Canada were united under one government, the Province of Canada, with the Act of Union (1840), in a failed attempt to assimilate the French Canadians. Support for an even greater confederation was strengthened by events such as the Battle of Ridgeway, an invasion into On ...

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated, setting off a chain of events leading to World War I. By August 4, Britain had declared war on Germany and, as part of the Empire, Canada automatically entered in the fray. How much and in what manner to contribute to the war effort was, however, up to the Canadian government to decide. At first the war brought Canadians together. Canada was suffering from an economic downturn and the war effort helped to revitalize the economy. The unemployed gladly volun ...
