His role as Batman, which he reprised in two subsequent films, catapulted him to international stardom, establishing him as one of Hollywood's leading actors.

  • Franklin D. Roosevelt
    Franklin Delano Roosevelt, fondly known as FDR, was a man of fortitude and resilience who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945.

His political career began when he was elected as a state senator in New York in 1910, marking the beginning of a journey that would lead him to the presidential office. Roosevelt's presidency was marked by two significant periods in American history: the Great Depression and World War II. Following his inauguration in 1933, amid the crippling economic crisis, Roosevelt implemented the New Deal, a set of social and economic reforms that aimed to stabilize the economy and provide jobs for the unemployed. His leadership during this era is celebrated for steering the nation towards recovery. Just as the country was emerging from the Depression, it was plunged into World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor. As Commander-in-Chief, Roosevelt led the nation with unwavering resolve, forming alliances and mobilizing the industrial sector to support the war effort. Despite being diagnosed with polio in 1921, which left him wheelchair-bound, Roosevelt did not let his physical limitations deter his desire to serve his country. His disability only fueled his determination, making him a symbol of courage and resilience. Roosevelt's legacy is not merely his policies or achievements, but his ability to inspire hope during some of the most challenging times in American history. His life serves as a testament to his famous words, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." In his twelve years as President, Roosevelt transformed the face of American politics and left an indelible mark on its history.

  • James Watt
    James Watt (; 30 January 1736 (19 January 1736 OS) ā€“ 25 August 1819) was a Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776, which was fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world. While working as an instrument maker at the University of Glasgow, Watt became interested in the technology of steam engines. He realised that contemporary engine designs wasted a great deal of energy by repeatedly cooling and reheating the cylinder. Watt introduced a design enhancement, the separate condenser, which avoided this waste of energy and radically improved the power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of steam engines. Eventually he adapted his engine to produce rotary motion, greatly broadening its use beyond pumping water. Watt attempted to commercialise his invention, but experienced great financial difficulties until he entered a partnership with Matthew Boulton in 1775. The new firm of Boulton and Watt was eventually highly successful and Watt became a wealthy man. In his retirement, Watt continued to develop new inventions though none was as significant as his steam engine work. He developed the concept of horsepower, and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him.

Julianus had a promising political career, governing several provinces, including Dalmatia and Germania Inferior, and successfully defeating the Chauci and Chatti, two invading Germanic tribes. He was even appointed to the consulship in 175 along with Pertinax as a reward, before being demoted by Commodus. After this demotion, his early, promising political career languished. He ascended the throne after buying it from the Praetorian Guard, who had assassinated his predecessor Pertinax. A civil war ensued in which three rival generals laid claim to the imperial throne. Septimius Severus, commander of the legions in Pannonia and the nearest of the generals to Rome, marched on the capital, gathering support along the way and routing cohorts of the Praetorian Guard Didius Julianus sent to meet him. Abandoned by the Senate and the Praetorian Guard, Julianus was killed by a soldier in the palace and succeeded by Severus.
