The Birthday Event Game

[PsychicTaco115]

For this, just look up your birth date and post an event that happened on it. (For the eventual case of repeats, try to list only 1-2 events)

For example: May 11

Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state of the United States
and
Luxembourg gained its independence.

If you want, you can also list a few people who were born on the same date.
