Reply to comment by huntingteacher25 in TIL JP Morgan bailed out banks in 1907 but a severe recession occured anyway. Nelson Aldrich, a powerful senator with close ties to Morgan, led a mission to Europe in 1908 to study the workings of the central banks in England, France and Germany. The Federal Reserve was created a short time later by mankls3
That's what I think too. We think we're bad ass because we have two oceans on either side of us, a shit ton of natural resources, and are lucky enough to not have Russia or China as a next door neighbor like our friends in Europe and Asia. We're cocky and nouveau riche and will burn out. If we survive that, maybe we'll grow up.

Reply to comment by TheGarnetGamer in TIL Amedeo Avogadro's contribution to chemistry, known as Avogadro's law, did not initially receive much attention when he published his paper in 1811. It was only a century later that his work was recognized, when the King of Italy attended a meeting commemorating the paper's 100th anniversary. by dustofoblivion123

I think it's a testament, not only to my ignorance, but also to racism in the US, that I've never heard of this disaster, even though I consider myself pretty checked out on WWII history
