The complicated Second Assyrian Uprising, or the Nestorian Rebellion, broke out in southeaster Turkey. It was the second such uprising by Christian Assyrians who had returned to their homeland and was brought about due to intentional Kurdish misrepresentations about the intentions of the Turks.
Grossly outnumbered by Turkish and Kurdish forces, relying on promises of British intervention which didn't come, and with most of their fighting age men in British service in Iraq, they were defeated, although the British did end the war with the intervention of aircraft, and returned to Iraq.
In the US it was National Defense Day and the National Defense Test, test of the nation's radio system in an emergency took place.
A lot of military demonstrations and events occurred as well.
Casper participated in events.
Businesses stated their patriotism.
