When we look back on the events of our lives, we can see that there were moments when we were more daring and brave. Various events have impacted present common views, and the important events of 1911 are included below.
New York’s population had surpassed that of Paris in the late nineteenth century and was rapidly approaching that of London. The lack of a reference point in the city was particularly peculiar to this expansion in population. On May 23rd 1911, President William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States of America, dedicated the New York Public Library, which took 14 years and cost $9 million to complete. New York public library cards are now provided to nearly two million people, and the library has branches throughout the city.
On August 21, three months later and after a travel across the Atlantic Ocean, Vincenzo Perugia entered the Louvre in Paris, dismounted Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa painting, and strolled out of the museum, the Mona Lisa hidden beneath his garments. Professional art thieves were ruled out by detectives and investigators because selling the picture would be too suspicious. Perugia was attempting to collect money from an Italian art dealer when the Mona Lisa was discovered two years later. The robbery triggered greater security measures in museums all over the world.
Roald Amundsento, a Norwegian explorer, hoisted the Norwegian flag at the bottom of the world on December 14 with more than simply the spirit of adventure. Amundsen had hoped to be the first man to reach the North Pole, but he was beaten to it by American explorer Robert Pearly, so he settled for the South Pole. In addition, Amundsen was the first person to fly over the North Pole in a plane.
