On this day:

AD 1798, Congress agrees to pay a yearly tribute to Tripoli, considering it the only way to protect U.S. shipping. Give into the jihadists once, and you pay forever!

AD 1866, Kingdom of Italy annexes Venetia, and the Freemasons tighten their hold on Catholic Italy!

AD 1956, Soviet troops overrun Hungary. The Soviet air force bombs the Hungarian capital of Budapest and troops pour into the city in a massive dawn offensive. And the Reds crush our Civilisation once again!
