Who?- Amelia Earhart
What?- over the central
Why?-Crash and sink theory Many researchers believe the Electra ran out of fuel and Earhart and Noonan ditched at sea. Or Gardner Island hypothesis has been characterized as the "most confirmed" explanation for Earhart's disappearance. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery has suggested Earhart and Noonan may have flown without further radio transmissions for two-and-a-half hours along the line of position Earhart noted in her last transmission received at Howland, arrived at then-uninhabited Gardner Island in the Phoenix group, landed on an extensive reef-flat near the wreck of a large freighter and ultimately perished.
Where?- central near
When?- missing July 2, 1937, declared dead January 5, 1939
Nylon invented
In 1930, , Julian Hill, and other researchers for the DuPont Company studied chains of molecules called polymers, in an attempt to find a substitute for silk. Pulling a heated rod from a beaker containing carbon-and alcohol-based molecules, they found the mixture stretched and, at room temperature, had a silky texture. This work culminated in the production of nylon marking the beginning of a new era in synthetic fibers. Nylon was first used for fishing line, surgical sutures, and toothbrush bristles. DuPont touted its new fiber as being "as strong as steel, as fine as a spider's web," and first announced and demonstrated nylon and nylon stockings to the American public at the 1939 New York World's Fair. To be exact, on October 27, 1938, Charles Stine, vice president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours, Inc., announced that nylon had been invented. According to The Nylon Drama by authors David A. Hounshell and John Kenly Smith, Jr., "He unveiled the world's first synthetic fiber not to a scientific society but to three thousand women's club members gathered at the site of the 1939 New York World's Fair for the New York Herald Tribune's Eighth Annual Forum on Current Problems. He spoke in a session entitled 'We Enter the World of Tomorrow' which was keyed to the theme of the forthcoming fair, the World of Tomorrow."
Who?-, Julian Hill, and other researchers for the DuPont Company
What?-Nylon invented (first used for fishing rods anf toothbrush’s
Why?- Wallace Hume Carothers studied polymers and worked for the DuPont company in the 1930s. He first invented neoprene, which is synthetic rubber made from a polmer of ethyne molecules. But what he really wanted to do was make a substitute for silk. He combined complex chemicals together and created a very long and smooth molecule; the new fibre was made into finely woven material and was given the name Nylon.
Where?-DuPont laboratories
When?-nylon and nylon stockings to the American public at the 1939 New York World's Fair. To be exact, on October 27, 1938, Charles Stine, vice president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours, Inc., announced that nylon had been invented.
Television debuts at Worlds Fair
Notes:The 1939-40 New York World's Fair, (also the location of the ), was the largest of all . Television in the United States made its formal debut at the World's Fair in New York City on Sunday April 30, 1939 with the first Presidential address on Television by Franklin D. Roosevelt. The signal was sent by the Telemobile (RCA's mobile Television van) to the Empire State transmitter and rebroadcast. The New York Times reported the broadcast was received in strategic locations and the pictures were clear and steady.

Summary:
A lot has happened in the last 100 years. Technology and communication increase every year bringing something new into out world. There have been a number of tragedies in the last 100 years. For example the Hindenburg disaster. On the 6th of May 1937 a German rigid airship Hindenburg caught fire. About 35 people have been killed. There are also things that happened to just one or two people. Amelia Earhart. The first women to receive disappeared during an attempt to make a flight of the globe in 1937. She was last heard of near the . There are positives as well. Such as the nylon invention in 1939 which was displayed in New York for the first time. Or the television debuts at the world’s fair in New York in 1939. But the worst thing is probably WW2. Began in 1939 on the 1st of September with Germany invading Poland. There are different theories why it had began, some of the most common once would be because of the war in Europe or because of the war in the pacific or because of the war in Africa.
