It's debated whether the Wright brothers really were the first ones. There is quite some evidence that Gustav Weißkopf did the first powered flight 2 years earlier

"Eyewitness" accounts and a doctored photograph coupled with his own claims doesn't really equate to "evidence".

Too much yank history. Most countries have declarations of independence and U.S. independence was more of a non-event than that of countries whose independence actually mattered (i.e. countries whose colonised peoples rose up and kicked out the colonial powers, not those whose colonising peoples decided they wanted their own country).

While it's correct that it's mostly history that related to the USA and to the UK to a lesser extent, dismissing the American declaration of independence as "unimportant" for the rest of the world demonstrates a profound ignorance of how modern politics emerged. For example, the USA was the first time that a country was established that was based on ideology, rather than on the concept of Nation Statehood. The idea that a country can exist without its citizens belonging to a specific ethnicity is the basis of all left wing and progressive concepts of statehood and country. The original utopia of the Left was that each ethnic group would have its own independent country which was ONLY for their ethnic group. The idea that a person can become a citizen of a country without being of the ethnic group to which the country belonged was as foreign to the Left as it was for the Right. The USA was the first ever example of a country that wasn't a Nation State.

How could we possi bly know when the "WWW" was first "proposed". I'm sure he thought about it and talked about it before he created it

Quite so. One of a couple I got wrong due to the ambiguous wording. I put 1969, cos that's when "Arpanet" was established, which was proposed as a world wide web, without the capitals.
