1754 France's King Louis XVI was born at Versailles.
1775 Britain's King George III proclaimed the American colonies in a
state of "open and avowed rebellion."
1914 Japan declared war on Germany in World War I.
1926 Silent film star Rudolph Valentino died at age 31.
1939 Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression treaty.
1960 Broadway librettist Oscar Hammerstein II died at age 65.
Certainly was a busy 'historic' day. <G> I've just gotten into
watching some of Valentino's movies and I can certainly see why
thousands lined up at his funeral as he certainly had star quality.
