The Graham Island Affair
|
What do you suppose would happen if an Island erupted from the sea in the midst of a major Mediterranean shipping lane in 1831? Well, one did; and I'm betting you'll have little trouble guessing how 19th century Europeans responded.

Origin of Names
|
I made it a little harder than it would be by eliminating multiple choice. Much of this has to do with language roots, so if you are not a linguist, this might be difficult. I still recomend you try.
