In 1953, there was an Iranian coup d'état to remove the Prime Minister of Iran, Mohammad Mossadeq, from power.
The coup d'état was nicknamed Operation Ajax.
The coup was planned by the CIA and Britain's MI6 in August 1953.
In 1951, Mossaddeq was the chairman of Iran's Oil Committee.
He was highly supported by the people of Iran.
At that time, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was in power.
The Majlis (Iranian Parliament) voted for a law to nationalize (take the company away from the people who owned it and make it owned by the government) the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, an oil company in Iran.
Mossaddeq was elected Prime Minister of Iran in April 1951.
His first action as Prime Minister was to put the oil nationalization in place.
The British government had a plan for a coup d'etat to remove Mossadeq from power.
They managed to get the United States CIA to help with the coup.
The coup was planned by Monty Woodhouse.
It was carried out by MI6 and the CIA, and led by General Fazlollah Zahedi, who later went into exile.
Mossaddeq was replaced by Fazlollah Zahedi, but Mossaddeq refused to step down.
A military dictatorship was put in place.
Shah Pahlavi, known for treating the people of Iran badly, was put back in power. (
Pahlavi was in power before this, but he was forced to put Mossadeq back in power at the time.)
This made the people angry.
They would later start the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
The revolution put the Ayatollah Khomeini in power.
20th century in Iran
Van Diemen's Land was the name used by Europeans for Tasmania before it was known it was an island.
Tasmania is now a state of Australia.
The Dutch explorer Abel Tasman was the first European to chart some coasts of  Tasmania.
He named the land Anthoonij van Diemenslandt after Anthony van Diemen, the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies.
Van Diemen had sent Tasman to explore the extent of the presumed south land  in 1642.
In 1803, the island was settled by the British as a penal colony.
It was called Van Diemen's Land, and became part of the British colony of New South Wales.
In 1824, Van Diemen's Land became an independent colony with George Arthur as the first Governor.
In 1856 Britain changed the name to Tasmania, an alternative name that had been shown on some maps and used by the community for decades.
It was formally changed  at the request of its citizens.
Britain also gave the colony the right to govern itself later that year.
It had its own parliament.
From the 1830s to 1853, Van Diemen's Land was the main penal colony in Australia.
When Britain stopped sending prisoners to New South Wales, all convicts were sent to Van Diemen's Land.
About 75,000 convicts were sent to Van Diemen's Land, approximately 40% of all convicts sent to Australia.
Male convicts got paid for being servants or farm workers to free settlers, or in work groups on public works.
Only the most difficult convicts were sent to the Tasman Peninsula prison known as Port Arthur.
Convicts who comitted more crimes were also sent there.
Female convicts worked as servants in free settler's houses or were sent to a female factory (women's workhouse prison).
There were 5 female factories in Van Diemen's Land.
Convicts who had finished their time in prison or had been well behaved and given a ticket-of-leave often left Van Diemen's Land.
Many went to the new free colony of Victoria.
The free settlers in towns such as Melbourne did not like the ex-convicts coming to their town.
During the Victorian gold rush a lot of settlers from Van Diemen's Land (called Vandemonians) went to the Victorian gold fields, such as Ballarat, or Bendigo.
Anthony Trollope used the word Vandemonian: -
They are (the Vandemonians) united in their declaration that the cessation of the coming of convicts has been their ruin (The Vandemonians agree that stopping the convicts from coming has made them poor).
Because the name Van Diemen's Land was seen to be tied up with convicts and it sounded like the word "demon" (source req'd),  the citizens had petitioned   the name change which was granted in 1855 effective 1 January 1856.
It was called Tasmania after Abel Tasman.
The last penal settlement in Tasmania at Port Arthur finally closed in 1877.
Van Diemen's Land is mentioned in the Australian folk song "The Wild Colonial Boy".
Van Diemen's Land is often mentioned in the music of Flogging Molly, such as in the song "Every Dog Has Its Day."
Irish folk songs that mention Van Diemen's Land are "The Black Velvet Band", "Back Home in Derry", and "Van Diemen's Land".
"Van Diemen's Land", also called "The Gallant Poachers", is a traditional English folk song, and also a traditional Scottish one as well.
Steeleye Span sings the traditional English folk song on their album They Called Her Babylon
"Van Diemen's Land" is the name of the second song from the rock band U2's album Rattle and Hum.
The words were written and sung by The Edge.
The song remembers a Fenian poet named John Boyle O'Reilly.
He was sent to Australia because of his poetry.
The chorus to the English folk song "Maggie May" says "They've sent you to Van Diemen's cruel shore."
Van Diemen's Land is mentioned in the Irish song, "Back home in Derry".
The music was written by Canadian song writer Gordon Lightfoot and the words by the famous Irish Republican Bobby Sands.
It is was sung by the Irish singer Christy Moore.
Shirley Collins and the Albion Country Band record a version of "Van Diemen's Land" on the album No Roses (1971)
Carla Bruni sings the poem 'If You Were Coming In The Fall', by Emily Dickinson on her album No Promises.
The song mentions Van Diemen's land: "subtracting till my fingers dropped; into Van Diemen's Land".
Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish by Richard Flanagan (published 2002).
It tells the story of a convict who is sent to Van Diemen's Land.
He gets into trouble with the local (and crazy) people in charge.

The July Ultimatum was a demand issued by Austria-Hungary to the Royal Serbian Government at 6 pm on 23 July 1914, after the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
Serbia refused to accept one of the ten items of the ultimatum, and so Austria-Hungary mobilized their army.
This, along with a chain of Alliances in Europe (Triple Entente and Central Powers) helped cause World War I.
The Ultimatum Requests
to suppress every publication which shall incite to hatred and contempt of the Monarchy, and the general tendency of which shall be directed against the territorial integrity of the latter;
to proceed at once to the dissolution of the Narodna Odbrana to confiscate all of its means of propaganda, and in the same manner to proceed against the other unions and associations in Serbia which occupy themselves with propaganda against Austria-Hungary; the Royal Government will take such measures as are necessary to make sure that the dissolved associations may not continue their activities under other names or in other forms;
to eliminate without delay from public instruction in Serbia, everything, whether connected with the teaching corps or with the methods of teaching, that serves or may serve to nourish the propaganda against Austria-Hungary;
to remove from the military and administrative service in general all officers and officials who have been guilty of carrying on the propaganda against Austria-Hungary, whose names the Imperial and Royal Government reserves the right to make known to the Royal Government when communicating the material evidence now in its possession;
to agree to the cooperation in Serbia of the organs of the Imperial and Royal Government in the suppression of the subversive movement directed against the integrity of the Monarchy;
to institute a judicial inquiry against every participant in the conspiracy of the twenty-eighth of June who may be found in Serbian territory; the organs of the Imperial and Royal Government delegated for this purpose will take part in the proceedings held for this purpose;
to undertake with all haste the arrest of Major Voislav Tankosic and of one Milan Ciganovitch, a Serbian official, who have been compromised by the results of the inquiry;
by efficient measures to prevent the participation of Serbian authorities in the smuggling of weapons and explosives across the frontier; to dismiss from the service and to punish severely those members of the Frontier Service at Schabats and Losnitza who assisted the authors of the crime of Sarajevo to cross the frontier;
to make explanations to the Imperial and Royal Government concerning the unjustifiable utterances of high Serbian functionaries in Serbia and abroad, who, without regard for their official position, have not hesitated to express themselves in a manner hostile toward Austria-Hungary since the assassination of the twenty-eighth of June;
to inform the Imperial and Royal Government without delay of the execution of the measures comprised in the foregoing points.
The Russian Memorandum of Advice to Serbia
The Serbian Response
During the next regular meeting of the Skuptschina to embody in the press laws a clause, to wit, that the incitement to hatred of, and contempt for, the Monarchy is to be most severely punished, as well as every publication whose general tendency is directed against the territorial integrity of Austria-Hungary.
It binds itself in view of the coming revision of the constitution to embody an amendment into Art.
22 of the constitutional law which permits the confiscation of such publications as is at present impossible according to the clear definition of Art.
12 of the constitution.
The Government possesses no proofs and the note of the I. and R. Government does not submit them that the society _Narodna_ _Odbrana_ and other similar societies have committed, up to the present, any criminal actions of this manner through any one of their members.
Notwithstanding this, the Royal Government will accept the demand of the I. and R. Government and dissolve the society _Narodna_ _Odbrana_, as well as every society which should set against Austria-Hungary.
The Royal Serbian Government binds itself without delay to eliminate from the public instruction in Serbia anything which might further the propaganda directed against Austria-Hungary provided the I. and R. Government furnishes actual proofs of this propaganda.
The Royal Government is also ready to dismiss those officers and officials from the military and civil services in regard to whom it has been proved by judicial investigation that they have been guilty of actions against the territorial integrity of the Monarchy; it expects that the I. and R. Government communicate to it for the purpose of starting the investigation the names of these officers and officials, and the facts with which they have been charged.
The Royal Government confesses that it is not clear about the sense and the scope of that demand of the I. and R. Government which concerns the obligation on the part of the Royal Serbian Government to permit the cooperation of officials of the I. and R. Government on Serbian territory, but it declares that it is willing to accept every cooperation which does not run counter to international law and criminal law, as well as to the friendly and neighbourly relations.
The Royal Government considers it its duty as a matter of course to begin an investigation against all those persons who have participated in the outrage of June 28th and who are in its territory.
As far as the cooperation in this investigation of specially delegated officials of the I. and R. Government is concerned, this cannot be accepted, as this is a violation of the constitution and of criminal procedure.
Yet in some cases the result of the investigation might be communicated to the Austro-Hungarian officials.
The Royal Government has ordered on the evening of the day on which the note was received the arrest of Major Voislar Tankosic.
However, as far as Milan Ciganovitch is concerned, who is a citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and who has been employed till June 28th with the Railroad Department, it has as yet been impossible to locate him, wherefore a warrant has been issued against him.
The I. and R. Government is asked to make known, as soon as possible for the purpose of conducting the investigation, the existing grounds for suspicion and the proofs of guilt, obtained in the investigation at Sarajevo.
The Serbian Government will amplify and render more severe the existing measures against the suppression of smuggling of arms and explosives.
It is a matter of course that it will proceed at once against, and punish severely, those officials of the frontier service on the line Shabatz-Loznica who violated their duty and who have permitted the perpetrators of the crime to cross the frontier.
The Royal Government is ready to give explanations about the expressions which its officials in Serbia and abroad have made in interviews after the outrage and which, according to the assertion of the I. and R. Government, were hostile to the Monarchy.
As soon as the I. and R. Government points out in detail where those expressions were made and succeeds in proving that those expressions have actually been made by the functionaries concerned, the Royal Government itself will take care that the necessary evidences and proofs are collected.
The Royal Government will notify the I. and R. Government, so far as this has not been already done by the present note, of the execution of the measures in question as soon as one of those measures has been ordered and put into execution.

Glenrowan is a small town in the northeast of Victoria, Australia.
It is 184km northeast of Melbourne and 14km from Wangaratta.
It is near the Warby Ranges and Mt. Glenrowan.
At the 2006 census, Glenrowan had a population of 952.
It used to be on the main road between Melbourne and Sydney, the Hume Highway.
The new Hume Freeway now goes around the town.
The first people to live in the area were the Australian Aboriginal tribal group called the Pallanganmiddang.
Glenrowan was named after farmers James Hutton Rowan and George Christian Rowan who had large farms in the area between 1846 and 1858.
The township was laid out and land sold in 1857.
In 1862 Cobb and Co had a stopping place for changing horses on their stagecoaches.
The Post Office was opened on February 22, 1870.
The small town had a police station, hotels and a boot maker.
In 1873 railroad was built, and the town moved about a mile to be closer to the station.
In 1876 the first school was built and Thomas Curnow was the teacher.
He would become famous as the Hero of Glenrowan,  the man who stopped the train.
The Siege of Glenrowan
It is famous for the bushranger Ned Kelly, who was captured there in 1880 after a siege and shootout with police.
The Kelly Gang had captured many of the people living in the town and held them hostage in a hotel.
The hotel was called the Glenrowan Inn and was owned by Mrs.Ann Jones.
They had pulled up the railway track hoping that the train carrying extra policemen would crash.
The school teacher Thomas Curnow got out of the hotel and was able to stop the train.
The police surrounded the hotel and began shooting at the bushrangers.
The Kelly Gang had made suits of armour to stop the bullets from hurting them.

The Hall of Fame opened in 1939.
It was started by the Clark Foundation.
The Hall of Fame was started to help bring visitors to Cooperstown which had been poor for a long time.
Some people tell a story that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, but the story is not true.
But the baseball leagues and teams decided that it did not matter, and helped make the Hall of Fame popular.
The museum has a lot of information on the history of baseball, and a lot of old baseball things, like bats, balls, and uniforms of famous baseball players or important baseball games.
It also has a baseball art collection and a library.
Hall of Fame list
When someone is "in the Hall of Fame," it means they have a story of their life in baseball shown in the museum.
Every year new people are chosen to be added to the Hall of Fame.
These people can be baseball players, baseball team managers, and other people who work with the game of baseball.
Awards are also given for baseball sports reporters.
As of 2012, there are a total of 297 people in the Hall of Fame.
Two groups pick people to add to the Hall of Fame.
One group is the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA).
This group can pick players who have been retired from Major League Baseball for five years, and played in MLB for at least 10 years.
Each member of the group writes down their 10 top choices, and anyone who is on at least three-fourths of the members' lists is added to the Hall of Fame.
The other group that chooses people to add to the Hall of Fame is called the Veterans Committee, which since 2011 has been split into three separate groups (or subcommittees).
The Veterans Committee votes on people who are not eligible for the BBWAA ballot—players who have been retired for 20 or more years, managers, team and league executives, and umpires.
Each of the three groups is made up of Hall of Famers, baseball executives, media members, and baseball historians, and votes on people who made their greatest contributions in a different era of baseball:
Expansion Era Committee – Considers people from 1973 and later.
Golden Era Committee – Considers people from the 1947–1972 era.
Pre-Integration Era Committee – Considers people from 1946 and earlier.
Each of these three groups votes once every three years, and they rotate in the order listed above.
The Expansion Era Committee chooses from among 12 people, while the other committees choose from among 10.
Each committee member can vote for four people, and anyone who gets at least three-fourths of the votes is also added to the Hall of Fame.
Disagreement and problems
Some people did not like how the Veterans Committee picked people for the Hall of Fame.
For a while, it seemed like the Committee liked to only pick people who they had worked with before.
This meant some people who might have been good enough for the Hall of Fame were missed, because they never worked with the people on the Committee.
The Committee was changed in 2001, but in the three times it voted, it did not choose anyone for the Hall.
It was changed again for the 2008 elections; in three election cycles, it voted in two managers and three executives, but only one player.
The Committee was changed yet again for the 2011 elections; so far, the new Committee has elected one executive and one player.
In 1982, some of the museum's collection of baseball items were loaned to the head of the American baseball leagues, and one of his workers sold them for money.
Even though the money was paid back, it made the Hall of Fame look bad.
There are some players who are not allowed to work in baseball anymore because they broke some very important rules, but were still very good players.
The Hall of Fame does not allow people who were kicked out of baseball to be in its museum, but some people do not agree with keeping some of these people out.
