1861 – The Gatling-gun was patented.
This invention, along with the ever increasing power and accuracy of rifles and artillery, forever changed military tactics...Unfortunately, these tactics changed much slower than the machines did, and the standard battle formations of 18th-19th century Europe created nothing but killing fields for this new technology.
As a result, wars became more and more costly in human life, and battles more and more lengthy because the infantry was forced to hide in dugouts and trenches - resulting in defensive battles instead of offensive ones...The greatest example of this slaughter was WWI.
1492 - Columbus discovered Hispaniola (Haiti).
Columbus had no intention of discovering the 'New World,' and was really looking for a new route to the Far East and India...That said, when he discovered Hispaniola, he actually thought he had found Japan (Cipango).
1496 - King Manuel I ordered the expulsion of all Jews from Portugal.
Four years after the Catholic Kings, in Spain, did the exact same thing...I guess it was better than the Hitlerian option.
1848 - President James Polk confirmed the discovery of gold in California, leading to the 'gold rush' of 1848 and 1949.
Gold was found, and the American West has never been the same...Who would have ever thought the ‘gold rushers’ would lead to the trannies and degenerate psychopaths in the modern People’s Republic of California?
1904 - The Battle of Port Arthur: The Japanese destroyed a Russian fleet off the Korean coast.
Not that the Russian Navy was a great power, but the Japanese opened the world’s eyes to the fact it was well on the way to becoming one...It also sharpened it's surprise tactics, which were used in 1941 at Pearl Harbor.
1933 - 'Prohibition' came to an end in the U.S. when Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, repealing the 18th Amendment.
The 18th Amendment was fool-hearted, because it attempted to change the culture...This is why we should be very careful when it comes to drug laws: If they are slackened, drugs will become as much a part of the culture as alcohol is, and it will be impossible to put the genie back in the bottle.
1936 - The Armenian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR, Georgian SSR, Kazakh SSR and Kirghiz SSR became constituent republics of the Soviet Union.
Welcome to the Hell State.
1936 - A new constitution in the Soviet Union promised universal suffrage, but the Communist Party remained the only legal political party.
How nice, everyone could vote, but they all had to vote for the same party...Our modern-day Democrat Party would have us take up this idea as well.
1955 - The American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations merged to form the AFL-CIO under its first president, George Meany.
Another ‘alphabet organization’ with more in common with the USSR than the USA...Kind of like CBS, NBC, NEA, PETA, NAMBLA, etc.
1988 - The Space Shuttle Atlantis launched the world's first nuclear war fighting satellite.
I hope we have launched many more since...I'm sure our enemies would/will if they could/can.
