1912 - That sinking feeling

The Republic of China created
The age-old monarchy is gone for good
Lenin's Bolsheviks now separated
From Social Democrats - they felt more red
Scott's disastrous South Pole trip leaves all dead
The Titanic hits an iceberg and sinks
The total drowned reaches fifteen hundred
The Royal Flying Corps first spreads its wings
Sarah Bernhardt appears in early films
Emperor Meiji by Taisho succeeded
The Balkan states throw out their Turkish lords
W.C. Handy's blues widely sang
Woodrow Wilson is this year elected
The year is 1912. Knew that? You should!
