Veliki požar u Chicagu
Because more and more Europeans were arriving, Native American tribes were forced to move out. In 1832, a group of Native Americans, led by Sauk chief Black Hawk, returned to Illinois to fight for the land. They were defeated by the U.S. Army in the Black Hawk War, and were forced to leave once again.
One of the worst fires in US history was the Great Chicago Fire. It started in a small barn in south Chicago on October 8th, although no one is sure how. Because the buildings and homes were made of wood with flammable roofs, they caught fire easily. There had also been a long drought and the winds were strong and dry. It destroyed over 17,000 buildings and homes, leaving about 100,000 people homeless.
Willis Tower
The Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower, was completed in 1973. It took 3 years and about 2,000 workers to complete the job.
