On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz filed a patent application for his "vehicle powered by a gas engine." This patent, numbered 37435, is considered the automobile's birth certificate. In July 1886, newspapers reported the first public appearance of the three-wheeled Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1.
The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (DRA), later renamed the Republic of Afghanistan in 1987, was the official name of Afghanistan during the one-party rule of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) from 1978 to 1992. Throughout its existence, and particularly during the Soviet–Afghan War, the DRA depended significantly on support from the Soviet Union.
