Breaking: Dublin Plans Biggest Saint Patrick's Day Parade Ever
Saint Patrick's Day celebrations in Dublin have consistently drawn massive crowds, with the 2009 parade attracting more than 675,000 spectators. In fact, this cherished tradition, which began as an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century, has evolved into the world's most widely celebrated national festival. While the first official state-sponsored parade in Dublin didn't take place until 1931, we've witnessed this celebration grow into a global phenomenon. Notably, Saint Patrick's Day, observed on March 17 to commemorate Saint Patrick's death in 461 AD, now inspires festivities in more countries than any other national festival. As we prepare for this year's celebration, Dublin is set to make history once again with what promises to be its most ambitious parade yet.

The History of Greenland, Its Resources, and Why Trump Wanted It
A Brief History of Greenland Greenland, the world's largest island, has a history that dates back thousands of years. The first known inhabitants were the Paleo-Eskimos, who arrived around 2500 BCE. They were later succeeded by the Dorset culture and subsequently the Thule people, ancestors of today’s Inuit population. Around 982 CE, the Viking explorer Erik the Red, exiled from Iceland, established Norse settlements in Greenland, naming it to attract settlers. The Norse thrived for a few centuries but mysteriously disappeared by the 15th century, likely due to climate change, resource depletion, or conflicts with the Inuit.
