Just googled my birth date in Google(obviously...), I'm astonished to find so many historical events that happened on this date. Didn't know that I share the same birth date with famous people like Pele, the world greatest football player, Ryan Reynolds, a famous actor, Weird Al Yankovic, a very famous parody singer(isn't that weird?) and etc. Some of the very important historical events that happened on this date were :
1642- Batlle of Edgehill (Warwickshire) : King Charles I beat English parliamentarian forces
King Charles I
In the end, he lost the English Civil War, executed in Whitehall, London - but wore an extra shirt because he did not want shivers due to the cold to be misinterpreted as fear.
Vladimir Lenin (Marxist Revolutionary and Russian Leader)
He consolidated power through imposing censorship and authorising the 'Red Terror'. A series of strokes led to his death in 1924. St Petersburg was renamed in his honour and his body embalmed and placed on display in a Mausoleum in Red Square.
Walt Disney (Animator)
Yay! It's one of my favourite cartoon during my childhood, didn't know it was so long ago before I was born though...
Did you know?
Tornado (possible T8/F4) strikes the heart of London killing two and demolishing the wooden London Bridge on 23rd October 1091.
