Question:
The first United States occupation of the Dominican Republic lasted from 1916 to 1924. It was one of the many interventions in Latin America undertaken by the military forces of the United States in the 20th century. On May 13, 1916, Rear Admiral William B. Caperton forced the Dominican Republic's Secretary of War Desiderio Arias, who had seized power from Juan Isidro Jimenes Pereyra, to leave Santo Domingo by threatening the city with naval bombardment. The first major engagement occurred at Las Trencheras on June 27. There the Dominican rebels had dug trenches on two hills, one behind the other, blocking the road to Santiago. The field guns of Captain Chandler Campbell's 13th Company, along with a machine gun platoon, took position on a hill commanding the enemy trenches and opened fire. Under the cover of this fire, the Marine infantry charged the defenders' first line, covered until the last possible moment by the artillery barrage. The insurgents fled to their trenches on the second hill. They rallied there briefly, then broke and ran again as the American field guns resumed shelling. Within 45 minutes from the opening artillery shots, the Marines, at a cost to themselves of one killed and four wounded, had overrun the enemy positions. They found no dead or weapons in the trenches but later discovered five rebel bodies in the nearby woods. This engagement set the pattern for most Marine contacts with hostile forces in the Dominican Republic. Against Marine superiority in artillery, machine guns, small-unit maneuver, and individual training and marksmanship, no Dominican force could hold its ground.

How many years did the first U.S. occupation of the Dominican Republic last?

Answer:
8


Question:
Contemporary documents show that the British continued the physical occupation of Chumbi Valley until February 8, 1908, after having received the full payment from China. In early 1910, Qing China sent a military expedition of its own to Tibet for direct rule. However, the Qing dynasty was overthrown in the Xinhai Revolution, which began in October 1911. Although the Chinese forces departed once more in 1913, the First World War and the Russian Revolution isolated the now independent Tibet, reducing Western influence and interest.  Ineffectual regents ruled during the 14th Dalai Lama's infancy and China began to reassert its control, a process that culminated in 1950-1951 with the Chinese invasion of Tibet by a newly-formed Communist China. The position of British Trade Agent at Gyangzê was occupied from 1904 until 1944. It was not until 1937, with the creation of the position of "Head of British Mission Lhasa", that a British officer had a permanent posting in Lhasa itself. The British seem to have misread the military and diplomatic situation, for the Russians did not have the designs on India that the British imagined, and the campaign was politically redundant before it began. Russian arms in Tibet amounted to no more than thirty Russian government rifles, and the whole narrative of Russian influence, and the Czar's ambitions, was dropped. The defeats the Russians experienced in the Russo-Japanese war that began in February 1904 further altered perceptions of the balance of power in Asia, and the Russian threat. However, it has been argued that the campaign had "a profound effect upon Tibet, changing it forever, and for the worse at that, doing much to contribute to Tibet's loss of innocence."

How many years did these events span for?

Answer:
47


Question:
Still hungry for their first road win of the season, the Steelers traveled to LP Field to take on longtime and former divisional rivals the Tennessee Titans.  Scoring began early in the first quarter as the Titans took a 3-0 lead after Rob Bironas's 22-yard field goal.  The Steelers responded with Suisham's 29-yard field goal to tie the game 3-3.  The Steelers took the lead after Roethlisberger connected with Mike Wallace for an 82-yard touchdown pass to take a 10-3 lead.  The Titans drew closer with Bironas's 38-yard field goal to shorten the lead 10-6.  In the 2nd quarter, the Titans retook the lead with Jamie Harper's 1-yard touchdown run to make the score 13-10.  They would increase their lead with yet another Bironas field goal from 47 yards out to increase their lead 16-10 at halftime.  The Steelers moved down the field in spite of a 28-yard field goal to make the score 16-13 for the only score of the 3rd quarter.  In the fourth quarter, the Steelers retook the lead with Baron Batch's 1-yard TD run to make the score 20-16 and then increased their lead with Suisham's 52-yard field goal for a 23-16 lead.  After thinking all was lost, the Titans drove down the field for a comeback attempt.  Matt Hasselbeck threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Britt to tie the game at 23-23.  After Suisham missed a game-winning 54-yard field goal, the Titans again drove down the field and ended the game with Bironas's 40-yard field goal to make the final score 26-23.  The loss to the Titans was the first for the Steelers since their 31-14 loss against them in 2008 which was also in Tennessee.  The Steelers fell back under .500 and sat at 2-3 and 3rd place in the AFC North while sitting at 0-3 in road games during this point of the season.

How many total points were scored in the first quarter?

Answer:
26


Question:
Coming off their road win over the Browns, the Packers went home for the highly anticipated Week 8 divisional rematch with the  Minnesota Vikings, as former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre made his return to face his former team. The Packers got the game off to quick start in the first quarter as kicker Mason Crosby made a 37-yard field goal, but the Vikings responded with running back Adrian Peterson's 1-yard touchdown run.  Things got worse for Green Bay in the second quarter as Favre completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, followed by kicker Ryan Longwell (another former Packer) nailing a 41-yard field goal.  The Packers would end the first half with 48 yards of offense, the lowest in over 10 years for a Packers team. Minnesota would add onto their lead in the third quarter as Favre found wide receiver Percy Harvin on a 51-yard touchdown pass as 3 Packer defenders collided and hit the ground. Yet Green Bay began to rally as Crosby booted a 26-yard field goal, followed up by quarterback Aaron Rodgers completing a 16-yard and a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Spencer Havner.  The Vikings would answer in the fourth quarter as Favre hooked up with tight end/fullback Jeff Dugan on a 2-yard touchdown pass.  The Packers tried to rally as Rodgers connected with wide receiver Greg Jennings on a 10-yard touchdown pass (with a failed 2-point conversion), but Minnesota would put the game out of reach as Favre hooked up with wide receiver Bernard Berrian on a 16-yard touchdown pass.  Favre threw 4 TD's with 0 INT, and had a passer rating of 128 (http://www.nfl.com/players/gamelogs?id=FAV540222). With the loss, Green Bay fell to 4-3 and were swept by the Vikings for the first time since 2005.

What all touchdowns did Brett Favre make?

12-yard
