January 21, 1921. The Combined Fleet.


The fleet was on combined maneuvers, which gave rise to an opportunity to take this panoramic photograph of it near the Panama Canal.

On this day the legendary Chaplin film, The Kid (which I've never seen) was released.


The Italian Communist Party was formed when it split off from the Italian Socialist Party.  In doing so, it was following the common evolution of left wing extremism. The same development had already occurred in Germany and Russia. As with other areas in Europe, the development was coincident with the rise of the extreme right as well.
