History

Answer:

British mathematician William Bourne made some of the earliest known plans for a submarine around 1578, but the world’s first working prototype was built in the 17th century by Cornelius Drebbel, a Dutch polymath and inventor in the employ of the British King James I. Drebbel’s sub was probably a modified rowboat coated in greased leather and manned by a team of oarsmen. Sometime around 1620, he used it to dive 15 feet beneath the River Thames during a demonstration witnessed by King James and thousands of astonished Londoners. Unfortunately, none of Drebbel’s plans or engineering drawings has survived to today, so historians can only guess about how his “diving boat” actually operated. Some accounts say it submerged via a collection of bladders or wooden ballast tanks, while others suggest that a sloping bow and a system of weights were used to propel the boat underwater when it was rowed at full speed.

Write a paragraph explaining what event you feel was the height of the cold war and why.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
For me the height of the Cold War was the first Nuclear Test by the Soviet Union on the 29th of August 1949.

This was also probably the start of the 'cold-war' itself.
Before the Soviet Union has tested a live Nuclear Weapon, the United States was flexing it's muscles all over the world based on it's economic and military might.

However, the Soviet Nukes proved that there was another player on the global scene with the same weapons as the United States.

Subsequently Soviet Union couldn't, and in effect did, challenge America's dominance in every corned of the world for the next 40 years.

For me, this precise moment was more important than the 'Cuban Crisis'
