Answers

a.  Napoleon

b.  A – Hindenburg  Line , B – Led  Zeppelin . The  European  who  connects  is  the  German  Field  Marshal  Paul  von  Hindenburg . The  Hindenburg  line  was  a  system  of  defense  the  Germans  had  constructed  in  France  during  WW I . Led  Zeppelin’s  debut  album  featured  the  Hindenburg  disaster  on  its  cover .

e. Theme / Connect – HUNDRED  DAYS

The  Hundred  Days  was  the  name  of  Napoleon’s  final  military  campaign  and  includes  the  Waterloo  campaign; The  Hundred  Days  Offensive  was  the  final  allied  offensive  that  brought  WW I  to  an  end  and  this  offensive  ended  at  the  Hindenburg  Line ; FDR’s  first  tenure  resulting  in  The  New  Deal  was  termed  ”The  First  Hundred  Days” ; Robert  Peel’s  first  tenure  as  PM  lasted  hundred  days  and  was  termed  “100  days”

Nobody  got  the  theme . Anil  Raghavan  managed  to  crack  all  4  parts -  brilliant  job !!  Manjith  and  Deepu managed  to  get  3  correct - well  done  folks !! And  a  good  job  by  lil  Rithwik  too .
