1836 – Inauguration of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Gives the Germans something to march under when they conquer the country. or for other foreign armies to look at when they rescue France from the Germans. This picture is of an 1871 parade of the Prussian Army celebrating a French “triomphe”.

1901 – The Socialist Party of America founded. Its positions have since been co-opted by the dimmocrat party.
1907 – Sir Robert Baden-Powell sets up the Brownsea Island Scout camp in Poole Harbour on the south coast of England. The camp ran from August 1-9, 1907, and is regarded as the founding of the Scouting movement.
1957 – The International Atomic Energy Agency is established, providing yet another toothless featherbed front for international bureaucrats at the UN.
1958 – U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower signs into law the National Aeronautics and Space Act, which creates the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). And it’s eleven years to the moon.
1965 – Vietnam War: the first 4,000 101st Airborne Division paratroopers arrive in Vietnam, landing at Cam Ranh Bay. Dimmocrat L.B. (Lyin’ B*stard) Johnson is in the White House.
1981 – A worldwide television audience of over 700 million people watch the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer at St Paul’s Cathedral in London. Today a large number of American girls still use this as a pattern for their own ‘princess for a day’ weddings. Daddy’s still paying the bills from it two years after the divorce and the little princess is on her third tattooed biker since the breakup.
