The Wilcox Robbery 1899 The wild Wild West back in the 1800’s was home to old western towns, cowboys, and Indians. The history of what is called the old west is very interesting.

While cars and the assembly line had both existed before Henry Ford, Ford did apply the assembly line to the manufacturing of the Model-T. While most auto manufacturers in the early 1900s took a long time to manufacture, the Model-T could be built quickly and cheaply. It helped greatly that the Model-T used replaceable parts.

Scientific research shows that the climate - that is, the average temperature of the planet's surface - has risen by 0.89 °C from 1901 to 2012. Compared with climate change patterns throughout Earth's history, the rate of temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution is extremely high. +Sea level rises: Since 1900, sea levels have risen by about 10 cm around the UK and about 19 cm globally, on average. The rate of sea-level rise has increased in recent decades. +Sea ice: Arctic sea-ice has been declining
