Actually, didnt Leif Ericson discover North America? I mean, if you're not counting the Native Americans, then Leif Ericson was first.

Amerigo Vespucci was who it was named for, but I dont think he was the first person here. I believe he was the one who proposed that North America existed, or something like that.

eric the red was Leaf Ericson's father, and it was GOING to be Eric The Red's discovery, but he died the day before they were scheduled to leave, so it was leaf Ericson's discovery, and thanx Vampyr for reminding me, i forgot about the vikings....silly vikings :)

I think he meant WWI. Which would be in early September, 1914... I forget the exact date.

Yes. But also, if Angrist is talking about WWI, then his question was wrong, because the Triple Alliance was actually Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Britain, France, and Russia were called the "Triple Entente".

Actually, there was no "Alliance" before WWII. When Germany invaded Poland in Sep 1939, it was Britain that declared war (and later its former colonies), not an "Alliance". France, USA, and the Soviet Union did nothing, later on France was taken over, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and the US stepped in after Pearl Harbor was bombed.
