  • Re: The Name Game - Chapter 4

    ok - I finally had to resort to Google!

    Stanislav Petrov - in charge of soviet missle response in 1983. He was informed that US had launched missiles but he decided they were false alarms & thus saved the world from nuclear disaster.

    (got this info from his wikipedia entry)

                  U.S. President John Tyler, recognized the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1842 by invoking the Monroe Doctrine to discourage intervention by European powers; agreed to Hawaiian independence.

                  [History footnote: November 28, 1843 - The Kingdom of Hawaii is officially recognized by European nations as an independent nation. This date signifies Hawaiin Independence Day.
