I have compiled a list of interesting facts about this particular day in history, aside from the fact that you were born. Here they are:
*1994 The conflict in Rwanda began when Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarinana and Burundi President Cyprien Ntaryamira were killed in a rocket attack on their plane.
*1974 ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo".
*1917 The United States of America declared war on Germany, and WWI began.
*1909 After 6 attempts and 15 years, US Commander Robert Edwin Peary became the first man to reach the North Pole.
*1896 The first Olympics were held in Athens, Greece.
*1868 The Ku Klux Klan was founded in America.
*1830 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was founded by Joseph Smith in Fayette, New York.
Have a great birthday, and hopefully this year will be the best one yet!
