January 18 (A Triple)
1701 - Frederick III of Brandenburg was crowned as King Frederick I of Prussia.
Central Europe was about to be turned upside down, because the Prussians proved to be a brilliant people and created one of the world’s most effective military forces...It didn't take long for Britain, France, the Ottomans, Austria, Russia, and Sweden (yes, Sweden) to have to accept a seventh member to their European group of powers.
Which led to...
1871 - William of Prussia was crowned the first German emperor - establishing the Second Reich.
From Brandenburg to Prussia, to Germany...The world was in for a terrible shock with the maturity of this group.
For those wondering what the First Reich was (I assume you know of the Third Reich - Nazis), the First Reich was the Holy Roman Empire.
Which led to...
1919 - The Versailles Peace Conference began with the agenda of drafting a treaty to settle World War I.
Look at how far little Brandenburg had come...Germany lost WWI, but the Goth was coming out of its shell, and continued to do so for the next 26-years.
The Allies should have completed the war and forced Germany to capitulate under duress...Instead they simply wounded the deadly animal, which healed and turned into a complete beast. But that's not the European way, and the barbarian was left for the Americans and Soviets to finally kill off in 1945.
1911 - The first landing of a plane on a ship.
Within 30-years this landing led to the creation of one of the most powerful military forces on Earth: The aircraft carrier.
1943 - The USSR announced it had broken the Siege of Leningrad: WWII.
Over a million Soviets died in this siege. The Nazis didn't have to have it, but the Ruskies had to fight to keep it...Not only was Leningrad the birthplace of the Revolution, it was also one of most important industrial centers in the USSR, and tied up an enormous amount of German troops who could have been put to much better use elsewhere.
1943 - Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began the resistance of Nazi control: WWII.
The Germans ultimately squashed this rebellion, but the Jews can forever look back at this battle as a model of hope for their people. Sort of a modern-day Masada...In both cases the Jews lost, but in both cases they overcame incredible odds and fought the good fight.
Sadly, it's my opinion they are in another such fight at this time with Islam...With a similar eventual fate.
1964 - The Beatles first cracked into the Billboard Chart: #35, with 'I Want to Hold Your Hand.'
From here the greatest band in history took off unlike any entertainment act ever. A truly amazing assortment of talent.
1990 - Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry was arrested in an FBI sting at a hotel in the capital. He was charged with buying and smoking crack-cocaine after being videotaped doing it. Mayor Barry was later convicted of a misdemeanor.
A MISDEMEANOR!?!?! What a joke. What's even more of a joke (but not surprising) is he was re-elected mayor after his conviction.
