| | | | 1979 - Births: Encyclopedia II - Charles Taylor - Presidency and Civil War In December 1989 Taylor launched an armed uprising from Côte d'Ivoire. His forces, known as the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), soon controlled most of the country. Doe was overthrown, and tortured to death the following year by Prince Johnson, at that time an ally of Taylor's.

| | | | 1979 - Births: Encyclopedia II - Caligula - Early Reign When Tiberius died on March 16, 37, Caligula was in a perfect position to assume power, despite the obstacle of Tiberius’s will, which named him and his cousin Tiberius Gemellus joint heirs.

He had Tiberius’s will declared n ...
