On this day:

AD 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte participates in a coup and declares himself dictator of France and institutionalises the Revolution!

AD 1918 Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicates after German defeat in WW I. The Fall of the Eagles. The Tsar was already gone.

AD 1970, R+I+P Charles DeGaulle. Traitor to France, friend and supporter of the Reds, he had much to answer for at the Judgement Seat!

AD 1989, Berliners celebrate the fall of the Wall. I cried in happiness. I never thought to live to see it!
