Karl Marx once wrote: History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.

And it is my duty to give you show you what men did in the past:

1798 US Marine Corps established by an act of Congress.

2008 Oil hits an all time high of $147 a barrel following further missile testing by Iran in the Middle East and concerns over oil supplies should tensions increase further between Iran and Israel over Iran's Nuclear program.

2010 FIFA World Cup Final is held in Johannesburg, South Africa between Spain and Netherlands.
