On this day:

AD, 680 3rd Council of Constantinople (6th ecumenical council) opens.

AD 1917, October Revolution (Oct 26 OS) in Russia, Lenin seizes power and begins the bloody, murderous reign of the Reds.

AD 1917, British General Sir Edmond Allenby breaks the Turkish defensive line in the Third Battle of Gaza in what should have been the Final Crusade. Unfortunately it wasn't. We're still fighting. I'm proud that my Grandfather, Gunner Charles Albert Oxley, Royal Field Artillery, marched with Allenby.

AD 1989, Protesters force the Red leaders out of office in East Germany, the first crack in the Evil Empire, established exactly 72 years before.
