The colonial victory against the British in the American Revolutionary War was far from a predetermined outcome. In addition to good strategy and the timely appearance of key allies like the French, Continental soldiers relied on several key technological innovations in weaponry. But just how accurate is an 18th-century musket when it comes to hitting a target? Did the rifle really determine the outcome of the war? And just how much damage did cannon inflict?

Last weekend, A Minecraft Movie made $15 million in China in its opening weekend. Thanks to President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on the country, that success story might be the last of its kind, for a while at least. On Thursday, Trump announced 145 percent tariffs on Chinese goods, even as he has placed a 90-day pause on some of the hefty tariffs he’d imposed on other countries around the world. As part of the country’s response to the escalating trade war, the China Film Administration announ

A statement issued by the Chinese Film Administration (CFA) on Thursday, which we’ve translated using Google, said that the decision to increase tariffs against China to 125 percent was “the wrong move,” and will “further reduce the domestic audience’s favorability” towards American-made movies. “We will follow market ru

Meanwhile, the average US life expectancy was 78.8, lower than nearly all other high-income countries, including Canada's, which was 82.3 years.
