Hello all Hivians and good people of the Gems community. Most of us may not be aware of some major happenings or events around the globe that took place on this day many years ago. I will therefore take us round the globe in a giffey to have a look at some of those historical events that took place on this day, thursday the 03/10/2024 in history.
We begin today from Germany. Do you know that on this day in 1990, after four decades of Cold War conflict and pressure from German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev consented to a unified Germany within NATO, which resulted in Germany's reunification on this day in 1990.
From Germany, we move over to the United States of America. Do you also know that on this day in 1995, one of the most spectacular trials in American history concluded with a jury finding O.J. Simpson not guilty of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
From the USA, we move over to the world of music and entertainment. Now, on this day in 1969, Gwen Stefani, an American singer and songwriter who rose to prominence in the 1990s as lead singer of the rock-ska band No Doubt before embarking on a solo career, was born in Fullerton, California, U.S.A.
From the world of music and entertainment, we move over to England. Do you know that on this day in 1952, the first British atomic weapons test, Hurricane, was successfully carried out aboard the frigate HMS Plym.
Gentlemen, we'll round off our today's look in history from France. Do you know that on this day in 1935, Italian forces commanded by Emilio De Bono invaded Abyssinia (Ethiopia) on instructions from Benito Mussolini, with the goal of establishing a "new Roman Empire."
My good people, that will be all from me today. Let's do it again tomorrow.
