What's Up? (4 Non Blondes song)
What's up or variants may refer to:
One of the causes of World War I was that countries wanted to form empires. This is called "imperialism". From the late 1800s, the power of an empire is judged by its size. Britain had the largest empire, with lots of territories overseas, such as India. People would say "The sun never sets on the British Empire" because there were British holdings all over the world, so it was always day in some part of the empire. One way in which empires expanded their
the Morocco Crisis, where the European superpowers colonised African nations obtained raw materials in order to fuel their economic growth. Furthermore, France was entitled to being the policeman over Morocco, but this escalated tensions with Germany to the extent that they sent the warship Panther.
The second long term reason is In order to conquer far-away places on different continents, imperial powers built large armies and navies and the cultures valued fighting. This was called "militarism". Countries spent large amounts of money in a short amount of time to build these armies. In the early 1900s, Britain's navy was the biggest. This made their traditional rival, Germany want to make a big navy too. When Britain launched a new kind of ship called the Dreadnought, Germany launched their own version of the Dreadnought to compete with Britain.
The trigger cause of World War I was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was next in line to be emperor of Austro-Hungary. He was killed in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. He and his wife, Countess Sophie, both died. They were making a state visit to the capital of Bosnia. A Serbian secret society, the Black Hand, wanted Bosnia to break free from the Austro-Hungarian Empire and be a country by itself. They were supported by Russia. The Archduke and his wife arrived at 9:30 a.m. and got into an open-topped car at the train station. Members of the Black Hand had learned the route they would take to their destination. When the time came, one of them threw a hand grenade at the Archduke's car. It bounced off the back of the car, which drove on. It injured the driver and passengers in the car behind the Archduke instead. When the Archduke realized he was a target he immediately abandoned his planned trip and went to visit a hospital instead. However, the driver took a wrong turn up Franz Joseph Street and had to reverse. By chance, he slowed down in front of Gavrilo Princip, leader of the Black Hand. Seeing that this was his only chance to carry out his plan, he pulled his gun and fired, killing the Archduke, Sophie, who had been pregnant at the time. Gavrilo Princip was arrested and beaten up for this rebellious act. on the street in June 28, 1914.
On Franz Joseph street there is a placard with what happened.

A battle royale game is an online multiplayer video game genre that combines survival, exploration, and scavenging (collecting useful items) in a game where only one can remain, also known as a last-man-standing game. Battle royale games usually have a large number of players, ranging from tens to hundreds. They start with almost nothing and then try to defeat all other enemies/players while trying to stay inside of a play zone or "safe area" that gets smaller over time. The winner is the last player or team alive. The name for the genre is taken from the 2000 Japanese movie "Battle Royale".
Battle royale games are played between a lot of single players, pairs of two players or a number of small teams (usually 3-5 players). The goal is to be the last player or team standing by defeating all other enemies. It starts by placing the player-characters into a large map, typically by having all players skydive from a large aircraft within a short time limit. The map may have the players randomly placed or allow players to have some control over where they start. They start with very little equipment, giving no player an obvious advantage at the start. Equipment, usually used for fighting, survival or transport, is randomly placed around the map, often at landmarks on the map, such as within buildings in ghost towns. Players need to search the map for these items while trying to avoid being killed by other players, who cannot be visually marked or revealed either on-screen or on the map, making the player use only their own eyes and ears to find their positions. Equipment from defeated players can usually be taken as well. These games often include some way to push enemies closer together as the game progresses, usually taking the form of a safe zone that slowly gets smaller, with players outside the zone eventually being killed.
There are many changes that can be placed on top of the fundamentals of battle royale. For example, "Fortnite" introduced a temporary mode in an event which is 50-versus-50 player mode in its "Fortnite Battle Royale" free-to-play game; players are assigned one of the two teams, and work with their teammates to get resources and weapons towards making a safe building as the safe area of the game shrinks down, with the goal to defeat all the players on the other team.
With the success of "Battlegrounds" and "Fortnite", the battle royale genre expanded greatly. Major publishers, including Electronic Arts Activision, and Ubisoft noticed the impact of the growing genre and impact on their future plans. Activision's "Call of Duty" series features a battle royale mode called "Blackout" in its 2018 game, "", while EA's "Battlefield V" also includes a battle royale mode. Some other established games added battle royale-inspired gamemodes in updates, such as "Grand Theft Auto Online", "Paladins", "Dota 2", "Battlerite", and "". In February 2019, EA released a free-to-play battle royale game called "Apex Legends", which had more than 50 million player accounts within a month of its release.
The battle royale approach has also been used in games from genres not normally associated with shooter games. "Tetris 99" is a 2019 game released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch that has 99 players in a game of "Tetris" at the same time.
