On this day:

AD 1918, Austro-Hungarian Empire dissolves and thus ends (for the time being, at least) one of the great hopes of Catholic European Unity.

AD 1918, Poland proclaims independence from Russia after WW I. Catholic Poland is reborn after over a century!

AD 1935, King George II returns to Greece & regains monarchy. As one day his descendants shall again.

AD 1979, 63 Americans taken hostage at US Embassy (Teheran, Iran), and one of the jihadist hostage-takers is now President of Iran!
