March 29th has been a day of significant events throughout history, marked by notable achievements, discoveries, and milestones across various fields. Let's dive into 15 detailed events that have shaped our world:
1461: Wars of the Roses: The Battle of Towton was regarded as the largest and bloodiest battle in English history. Edward of York defeated Queen Margaret to become King Edward IV of England, marking a pivotal moment in the Wars of the Roses.
1638: Swedish Colony in America: Sweden established its first settlement in America, named New Sweden, near present-day Wilmington, Delaware. This marked the beginning of Swedish colonial efforts in North America.
1849: The United Kingdom formally annexes Punjab. After defeating the Sikh Empire in the Second Anglo-Sikh War, the British Empire officially annexed the region, marking a significant expansion of British India.
1867 The British North America Act is passed in the House of Commons. This act led to the creation of Canada as a self-governing dominion of Britain on July 1, 1867. It was a critical step in Canada's journey towards independence.
1886 John Pemberton brews the first batch of Coca-Cola. In Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. John Pemberton brewed the first batch of Coca-Cola, a tonic wine that would become one of the world's most famous beverages.
1945 World War II: The Battle of Iwo Jima ended as U.S. forces captured the island from the Japanese. It was a critical victory for the Allies and a pivotal moment in the Pacific Theatre.
1971 Charles Manson and three of his followers received the death penalty: For their involvement in the notorious Tate-LaBianca murders, Charles Manson and his followers were sentenced, though their sentences were later commuted to life imprisonment.
1974: NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft became the first spacecraft to fly by Mercury, providing valuable data about the planet's environment, surface, and atmosphere.
1993 Catherine Callbeck became the first female premier in Canada. Catherine Callbeck of Prince Edward Island became the first woman to be elected in her own right as a provincial premier in Canada, marking a significant moment in Canadian politics.
2004 Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia join NATO. In a significant expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, these seven countries were formally admitted, enhancing security and cooperation in the region.
2010 Two female suicide bombers struck the Moscow Metro: Resulting in 40 deaths and over 100 injuries, this attack underscored the ongoing security challenges in Russia.
2014 The first same-sex marriages in England and Wales: This day marked a milestone for LGBTQ+ rights, with the first same-sex marriages taking place in England and Wales following legal changes.
2017 The United Kingdom triggers Article 50: Beginning the formal process of exiting the European Union, this was a significant moment in Brexit—the UK's decision to leave the EU.
2018 North Korea and South Korea agree to hold a summit. Announcing plans for a summit was seen as a step towards easing tensions and improving relations between the two Koreas.
2020 COVID-19 pandemic: Various countries worldwide implemented strict lockdown measures to combat the rapidly spreading coronavirus, marking a global effort to contain the pandemic.
