Friday, March 20, 1914. The Curragh Muntiny

The Curragh Mutiny saw British Army officers stationed at Curragh Camp, Ireland resign their commissions rather than face being ordered to resist the Ulster Volunteers, should the Home Rule Bill pass.

It was a rare example of something like this working, in that the British government backed down, and they were reinstated.

Pancho Villa sent 12,000 troops to recapture TorreĆ³n, Coahuila, Mexico from 9,000 federal troops stationed in the city.
