today in history

150 years ago... the day before yesterday: robert e. lee surrenders the army of northern virginia, effectively ending the american civil war

100 years ago: british troops embark for a campaign in gallipoli.

70 years ago: american soldiers liberate the buchenwald death camp.

50 years ago: american marine divisions land at phu bai and da nang.


not such a good day for round-number anniversaries.
