Karl Friedrich Benz (November 25, 1844 – April 4, 1929) was a German automobile engineer. He is generally regarded as one of the inventors (with contemporary Gottlieb Daimler) of the petrol-powered automobile. Born in a modest home and a prodigy student, Karl Benz loved to ride his bicycle through his natal Karlsruhe and since then he pursued the dream of creating some motorized vehicle to replace it. Something finally accomplished with his Tri-Car of 1886 powered by a gas engine, and later by petrol. Though the genius also invented -- among other things - ...

After many years of only friendly matches, the world's oldest formal competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (now better known as the FA Cup), was played for the first time (it is still played today). At the time, the competition's organisers, The Football Association, was the only football-organising body in existence and was, therefore, technically responsible for association football worldwide (though it was not yet played outside the United Kingdom). As a result, the FA Cup attracted enterants from all over the UK. It was not ...

Germany's 1949 constitution, the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), invests the Chancellor (Bundeskanzler) with central executive authority. For that reason, some observers refer to the German political system as a "chancellor democracy". The Federal Government (Bundesregierung) consists of the chancellor and his or her cabinet ministers. The chancellor's authority emanates from the provisions of the Basic Law and from his or her status as leader of the party (or coalition of parties) holding a majority of seats in the B ...

The creation of the German Empire heralded the end of Bismarck’s expansionism. From that point onwards until the end of his career, he skillfully used diplomacy to maintain the status quo in Europe. In 1888 however, Wilhelm II ascended to the German throne. A grandchild of Queen Victoria, he was an admirer of Britain's empire and naval power and opposed Bismarck's careful foreign policy. To further his goals, he made Admiral von Tirpitz, an energetic campaigner for a greatly enlarged fleet, Secretary of State for the German Navy. Through successive "Fleet Acts" he succeeded ...
