Atatürk needed national support. His notoriety from his position, and his status as a hero after the battle of Gallipoli, gave him some credentials. It was not enough to mobilize anything. Besides his task was to disarm the army, he had to secure some relations to gain more movement. He met with Rauf Orbay, Ali Fuat Cebesoy, and Refet Bele on June 21 1919. Before Amasya Agrement, Atatürk met with a Bolshevik delegation headed by Colonel Semion M. Budienny. Bolsheviks wanted to annex the Armenian Republic and other parts of the Cauca ...

Yamamoto was born Isoroku Takano (高野 五十六 Takano Isoroku) in Nagaoka in Niigata. His father was Takano Sadayoshi (高野 貞吉 Takano Sadayoshi), a lower-ranking samurai of Nagaoka-han. "Isoroku" is an old Japanese term meaning "56"; the name referred to his father's age at Isoroku's birth. In 1916, Isoroku was adopted into the Yamamoto family and took the Yamamoto name. It was a common practice for Japanese families lacking sons to adopt suitable young men in this fashion to carry on the family name. In 1918, Isoroku married a woman named Reiko with wh ...

His participation in the London Naval Conference of 1930 made him a marked man for radical militarists in his service, as the continuing ...

The somewhat unfortunately named ASS was a French automobile produced from 1919 to 1920. Advertised as "L'automobile pour tous", the car was powered by a 12hp two-stroke Thomas engine.

Carl William Mays (November 12, 1891 - April 4, 1971) was one of the better right-handed pitchers in Major League Baseball from 1916-1926, but he is best remembered for throwing the pitch that struck Ray Chapman in the head on August 16, 1920, making Chapman the only on-field fatality in major league history. Born in Liberty, Kentucky, Mays was a notorious submarine pitcher (he was nicknamed "Sub"), although it would be more accurate to say that he threw straight underhand.

The Abbey of Thelema was a temple founded by Aleister Crowley in a rented villa at Cefalu, Sicily in 1920. The name for this magical temple was taken from a fictional abbey in Rabelais's satire Gargantua, where all worldly pleasures were freely indulged. As in that story, Crowley painted the words, "Do What Thou Will" over the door. (These words were also engraved over the doors of Medmenham Abbey, the meeting place of Sir Francis Dashwood's notorious Hellfire Club in the eighteenth century, so Crowley may have gotten the idea ...

Biopoiesis or biopoesis is the process of living matter evolving from self-replicating but nonliving molecules.

It is theorized that biopoiesis may occur over time if an energy source, organic molecules, and liquid water are present. J. B. S. Haldane and A.I. Oparin developed this theory in the 1920s.
