In 1836, the “definitive treaty of peace and friendship between Mexico and Spain” (also called the “Treaty of Santa Maria-Calatrava” after the names of the signatories) was signed in Madrid, by which Spain recognized Mexico as a “free, sovereign and independent nation”. Mexico became the first Latin American country recognized by the former metropolis.

In 1945, the War Brides Act came into effect, allowing foreign spouses and children of U.S. military personnel to immigrate to the U.S. outside of immigration quotas, but with an “if admissible” clause. Since the “Chinese Exclusion Act” had already been repealed in 1943, the main flow of Asians at first was Chinese (in particular, General Shannolt's wife, although due to racial segregation laws this marriage in his native Louisiana continued to be considered invalid). In 1946, restrictions were lifted for the Philippines and India, and in 1947 the “if admissible” clause was removed altogether, giving entry to natives of Japan and Korea. Before the law ended in 1948, more than 100,000 people had entered under it.

The Nazis killed six million Poles, maybe the Soviets should have left the Gestapo running things, there is no excuse for destroying war memorials period.

In 1793, former King of France (1774-1792) Louis XVI Capet (1754-1793) of the Bourbon dynasty was guillotined (executed by beheading) in Paris on the Place de la Revolution (since 1795 Place de la Concorde). Officially deposed on September 21. 1792, condemned by the Convention on January 20, 1793. 1793 г.

In 1824, the British suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Ashanti Federation (present-day Ghana). The head of Governor Sir Charles McCarthy became the victors' trophy.

In 1924, at the age of 53 the main organizer and leader of the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, the first chairman of the Council of People's Commissars (government) of the RSFSR, the creator of the first socialist state in the world history Vladimir Lenin died.

In 1933, the League of Nations rejects Japan's proposals to resolve the conflict with China. This will confirm Japan's view of the LoN as a tool of the Western imperialists to maintain the status quo (i.e., US and British domination in Asia), pushing Japan to withdraw from the LoN and to slip into the path of militarism and war.

In 1942, Rommel's African Corps was promoted to Panzerarmy and began the 1942 campaign on the same day. The German offensive took the British by surprise. As recently as the 12th Okinleck reported to London that “there is weakness and disintegration on the enemy's side”. However, already in the 1st 3 days of fighting the British were defeated and hastily retreated to Gazala. By 26th Jan they lost 299 tanks and armored vehicles, 147 guns and 935 prisoners. For the January offensive Rommel was promoted to the rank of Colonel-General.

in 1968, due to a fire on board, an American B-52G bomber with four thermonuclear bombs was abandoned by the crew over the Thule base in Greenland and crashed on ice 11 km from it. On impact, the conventional explosives of all 4 bombs detonated, causing them to shatter, the ignition of jet fuel melted the ice, and the wreckage mostly sank. Of the 7 men on board, one (left without a catapult seat) died leaving the plane, and the commander, discovered last after 21 hours, was badly frostbitten but survived by wrapping himself in a parachute. A subsequent decontamination operation in the US removed all debris (including all tritium tanks and the combined mass of fissile materials for the 3 charges) as well as 6,700 cubic meters of snow and ice. The incident led to the total cessation of B-52 patrols with nuclear weapons on board (Operation Chrome Dome, conducted since 1961).

In 1968, a group of 31 North Korean Special Forces fighters, “Unit 124”, attempted to assassinate South Korean President Park Chung-hee.
The group was stopped 800 meters from the residence - the Blue House.
As a result of the battle, one was missing, two were captured (one escaped and became a national hero and deputy defense minister), and the rest were killed
On the order of Park Chung Hee, Unit 684 was formed from the military and prisoners sentenced to death to assassinate Kim Il Sung for the purpose of revenge.

in 1977, U.S. President Jimmy Carter pardoned Americans who had evaded the draft during the Vietnam War and ordered a thorough investigation into the reasons for each case of desertion from the military.

Your boy Stalin was friends with Hitler before they were at war, and he enslaved the Poles in 1939 and again with the defeat of his former partner in Poland by the victorious Allies in WWII. It would be brutal living under the heavy hand of communism for ordinary Poles for almost 50 years..
