For just over two years they went on a crime spree in the early 1930s robbing and killing.

    Galileo Galilei vs. the Church

    Galileo is considered the father of modern science. His discoveries included the laws of pendulums which led to the development of the first accurate clocks. But tragically, he was tried by the Inquisition of Rome for heresy. The science deniers of the Church threatened to burn him at the stake unless he recanted his claims that he could prove that Copernicus was right: that the Earth is not the center of the universe, that we live in a heliocentric system where the earth and the other planet...

The deciding factor in World War II was the fantastic industrial output of the U.S.
