I&E: an unexpected success and an unexpected failure

Success:

Mcdonald's would not have gone global if not for Ray Kroc.
Dick and Mac Mcdonald opened the first Mcdonald's oulet in San Bernardino, California. It was the only outlet then. The restaurant become very popular and long queues never seemd to shorten.To cope with the overwhelming orders, the Mcdonalds bought a huge number of milkshake mixers. Ray Kroc, still a one time milkeshake mixer salesman then,was curious to why they needed that many milkshake mixers and went to take a look. A while later,after a deal with the McDonald brothers , he took over Mcdonald's and made it to what it is now .

Failure:

The fall of Singapore to the Japanese is an unexpected failure to the British.For a start, they underestimated the Japanese, thinking they would not get through the thick jungles and reach Singapore but they did, with the help of bicycles. Next, when the Japanese did managed to attack Singapore, the British panicked, thus they did not noitce the numeral advantage of one to three, if they had , there would probably be no Japanese Occupation at all!
