Both southern Belgium and Picardy were heavily involved with much of the fighting in World War I.

3. WHEN was the first dinosaur fossil discovered?

3. WHEN was the first dinosaur fossil discovered? Allegedly in 1676, when a huge thigh bone (femur) was found in England by Reverend Plot. This was reported nearly a century later, and after that, in New Jersey, a nearly full skeleton of a dinosaur was found. Probably dinosaur bones had been found all along, giving rise to much myth and legend.

3. WHEN did the American Revolution start and finish? (I'm not American)

2. WHY was the supersonic Concorde airliner discontinued? The Concord was developed in a time when fuel was easy to come by but was considered uneconomic to operate. Though it was reliable and there was only one accident involving this aircraft, it was retired finally in 2003. The Oil crisis of the 1970's made it extremely expensive, and its mechanics were also very complex, and so would-be operators rethought their options.
