What colour were the dinosaurs?
The fact is, we don't know. There are a few isolated cases
where scientists have managed to work out exactly what colour dinosaurs were
but for monsters like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, they can only guess. It would
probably be a shade of green or brown to provide camouflage, which may sound
stupid because Tyrannosauruses were so big they couldn't hide but it did make a
difference while hunting, albeit a very small one.
What was the biggest
battle ever?
The biggest recorded battle in English history was the
Battle of Towton where one tenth of the English population participated. That
is a massive amount of people, however you look at it. It took place in 1461
during the Wars of the Roses and resulted in about 7,000 casualties. The
biggest battle ever was probably the Battle of Kursk between the Nazi Germans
in World War II and the Russians. It involved about two million soldiers. It
took place in Kursk, Russia, in the summer of 1943.
When was the Automobile Invented?
That depends on your definition of 'automobile'. The Ford Model T is the most famous of all the motoring firsts, as the first car to be produced by mass manufacture. The Ford was produced first in 1908, but was only mass manufactured from 1911. Most people would credit Karl Benz with inventing the automobile as we know it in 1885 with the Benz Motorwagen. As early as 1335, the Italian engineer Guido da Vigevano
designed (and supposedly built) a vehicle that moved using wind power, but this was more of a boat than a car.
