Japanese Prince Kuni Kuniyoshi and his wife on this day in 1922.
The Turkish Army, or rather the army of the revolutionary Young Turks, which had replaced the Turkish parliament and brought about what would effectively be the modern era in Turkey, captured Artake and Pergaea, ending, completely defeating the Greeks. On the same day, the Canadian government informed the British government that Parliament (the British one) would have to act before Canada would send troops to the Dardanelles.
Canada knew that Parliament would be reluctant to do this, and the Canadians were reluctant to form military units for an Anatolian expedition.
Who could blame them?
Hungary was admitted into the League of Nations.
Just this week, FWIW, Turkey was declared by the EU to be essentially a post, or quasi, democratic state. By its own admission, it's an Illiberal Democracy, but it nonetheless took offense.
The former Kasier Wilhelm II announced his engagement to Hermine Reuss of Greiz. His first wife, the Kaiserin August Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein had died in April 1921. Hermine was a widow.
In spite of the fact that the German monarchy did not exist, the announcement was unpopular with German monarchists as well as with Wilhelm's sons, who deemed it too soon to the Kasierin's death.
She'd outlive the former Kaiser by six years and see the emergence of post-war Germany, passing in 1947. Following her second husband's death in 1941, she moved to Nazi Germany and lived on his retained estate in Silesia. She fled the advancing Red Army in 1945 and was arrested by the Soviet thereafter. She died at age 59 in a small apartment she had secured in Frankfurt.
The Yankee's won the pennant, defeating the St. Louis Brown's
Navajo men at Lee's Ferry on this date in 1922.
