Saturday, February 6, 1926. Linguistic dispute.

Pancho Villa's skull was stolen by grave robbers.  It's whereabouts remain unknown.

Mussolini delivered a defiant speech about the fascist program of Italianization of South Tyrol, which had an ethnic German majority.

The Italians and Germans managed to put this aside after the rise of Hitler, but had the Germans won the second World War, they certainly would have turned on Italy over this issue.  As late as the 1990s, if not later, there was still Italian support for the fascist decrees on the topic.

It was a Saturday.
