The Ottoman Empire fought alongside the Central Powers in World War 1, namely Germany and the Austria-Hungarian Empire. It had already been in a period of decline leading up to the war, and its defeat to the Allied Powers was essentially what led to its dissolution.
Following the defeat of the Central Powers and the occupation of Constantinople (Istanbul in present-day Turkey) that followed, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned (divided up) and temporarily administered by the victories Allied Powers. This meant the abolition of the Sultanate and the end of the Ottoman Empire.
Break dancing, also called breaking and B-boying, energetic form of dance, fashioned and popularized by African Americans and U.S. Latinos, that includes stylized footwork and athletic moves such as back spins or head spins. Break dancing originated in New York City during the late 1960s and early ’70s, incorporating moves from a variety of sources, including martial arts and gymnastics.
Break dancing is largely improvisational, without “standard” moves or steps. The emphasis is on energy, movement, creativity, humour, and an element of danger. It is meant to convey the rough world of the city streets from which it is said to have sprung. It is also associated with a particular style of dress that includes baggy pants or sweat suits, baseball caps worn sideways or backward, and sneakers (required because of the dangerous nature of many of the moves).
The term break refers to the particular rhythms and sounds produced by deejays by mixing sounds from records to produce a continuous dancing beat. The technique was pioneered by DJ Kool Herc (Clive Campbell), a Jamaican deejay in New York who mixed the percussion breaks from two identical records. By playing the breaks repeatedly and switching from one record to the other, Kool Herc created what he called “cutting breaks.” During his live performances at New York dance clubs, Kool Herc would shout, “B-boys go down!”—the signal for dancers to perform the gymnastic moves that are the hallmark of break dancing.
In the 1980s breaking reached a greater audience when it was adopted by mainstream artists such as Michael Jackson. Jackson’s moonwalk—a step that involved sliding backward and lifting the soles of the feet so that he appeared to be gliding or floating—became a sensation among teens. Record producers, seeing the growing popularity of the genre, signed artists who could imitate the street style of the breakers while presenting a more-wholesome image that would appeal to mainstream audiences. Breaking had gone from a street phenomenon to one that was embraced by the wider culture. It is around this time that the term break dancing was invented by the media, which often conflated the repertoire of New York breakers with such concurrent West Coast moves as “popping” and “locking.” Those routines were popularized in the early 1970s by artists on television, including Charlie Robot, who appeared on the popular TV series Soul Train.

The Steam Engine allowed transportation across the country, and factories no longer needed to be located by rivers, instead they used the steam engine to power their machines. The auto mobile helped revolutionize and change completely how people travel, especially in America when Henry Ford made the first <em>affordable</em> automobile, not just the automobile. Karl Benz made the first automobile, but only the rich could afford it at the time. The Internet, of course, changed how people gather and give information, and today anyone with any sort of technology can learn about anything they want, and also give their own voice and opinions on topics. The Internet has definitely helped expand education and how people learn about current events.
Hopefully this helped, I know its brief but there wasn't much details given.
