What’s happening on Your birthday?

Greyduck posted this Birthday Meme and I felt like joining in.

My three events were interesting to pick because July 14th is of course Bastille Day in France, I also found out from Wikipedia that there were alot of riots on this day. hmmmm, and I’m so calm, what’s wrong with me? *chuckles*

1223- In France, Louis VIII becomes King of France upon the death of his father, Philip II of France.
1933 – Gleichschaltung: In Germany, all political parties are outlawed except the Nazi Party
1958 – Iraqi Revolution: In Iraq the monarchy is overthrown by Arab nationalists and Abdul Karim Kassem becomes the nation’s new leader.

I’m adding a fourth one because I thought this was just cool.
1968 – Hank Aaron becomes the eighth member of the 500 home run club with a home run at Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Two people born on this day were:

1910 – William Hanna, American animator (d. 2001)
1977 – Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden

And one who died:

1881 – Billy the Kid, American outlaw (b. 1860)
