U.S. troops landed in Panama to put down a renter's strike at the request of President Rodolfo Chiari, which seems like complete BS, frankly.

It was a bit of an immigrants take. Dunkin was an Irish American, and so was Shanahan. Cop, and cop killer, both of recent immigrant stock, a story that was not uncommon.
Dunkin was convicted and remained in prison until 1954. He died in 1981.

At Locarno delegates agreed that due consideration would be given to Germany's special military status until such time as a general arms reduction plan could be implemented across Europe. This was thought to secure Germany's entry into the League of Nations.

The Chongqing Negotiations (Chinese: 重慶談判) came to an end.
The negotiations were between the Nationalist and the Communists and marked a resumption, after a twenty year gap, of efforts between the two contesting sides to resolve their differences. Both sides signed the Double Tenth Agreement at the end.
This day would be the last meeting between Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong.

Joseph Darnand, a French hero of the Great War, far right politician between the wars to the point of belonging to the La Cagoule terrorist organization, decorated French soldier again upon the German invasion of 1940 only to form the collaborationist militia, Service d'ordre légionnaire (SOL) and become a member of the SS, was executed. He was 48.

Upon the Japanese invasion in 1937, most of the collection was moved to Nanjing. During the Chinese Civil War much of the collection was moved to Taiwan, where it remains.

The structure had been largely completed and opened in 1867, but was dedicated on this day in 1875. Some ongoing construction was still occuring.

Today is Leif Erikson Day, commemorating the date on which Leif and his crew set foot on North America, probably on Newfoundland.
Well, it was sometime in the fall, probably, and it was in the year 1,000. . . well maybe.
Anyhow, he did do that.
This day is actually set by the a reenactment ship, the Norwegian ship the Restoration, reaching North America in 1825.
Leif was born in Iceland to Erik the Red and his wife Thjodhild and, probably contrary to what many might suppose, he was a Catholic, the religion of his mother. Interestingly, this was the same year that Iceland converted to Christianity.

A truly deluded Cowboy State Daily column.
Craven is a right wing lawyer out of Cheyenne and is picking up her news from media.
It's interesting to note how this can work. During the Second World War, very informed Germans who wanted to know what was going on clandestinely listened to the BBC, while many others listened to or read the German news. Listening to the BBC was illegal. Anyhow, many were shocked after January 1945 to find that, in spite of all the evidence that was before their eyes, they were losing the war, and in fact were going to lose it.
This is going on in our society now, although its obviously not illegal to listen to the BBC. About half the country is absolutely horrified by what's going on, but there's a percentage, let's say 25% to 33% that fully accepts what Trump is saying.
Is Portland a war zone? Absolutely not. Is it left of center? Yes, it has been for decades. Is there any problem at all?
Yes, homeless on the streets, like in LA, or in Denver, or Oklahoma City, or even to a small degree like Casper. That's a universal American problem.
It doesn't call for the deployment of troops.
This will end badly.
But Craven's "we want our country back" is actually what she means, and many who support Trump mean. The thing is, however, that the country she wants back, never existed.

Heinrich Himmler was born in Munich. Unlike Hitler, the future orchestrator of the Holocaust did not see combat in World War One, being in officer training when the war ended.
It's odd think that he was only 44 when World War Two ended.
