The article I chose is about the mammoth blaze that tore through the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris that nearly destroyed the 850-year-old landmark alarming worshippers and admirers around the world. The church's wood latticework roof and iconic spire collapsed, but many of its most valuable religious relics and cultural treasures were spared.  The spire was one of the most recognizable sights in all of Pairs before it was destroyed by flames. The fir broke out in the roof, and it was one of the oldest of its kind in Paris, according to the cathedral's website. The rose window appeared to have been spared by the inferno, also including the crown of thorns, the tunic of st. louis, and the great organ.



This relates to U.S History because of the Great Fire of Toronto of 1849, also known as the Cathedral Fire, it was the first major fire in the history of Toronto, Ontario, Canda. Much of the market block, the business core of the core of the city was wiped out.
