April 11, 2009 - Today In History

Today's Highlight in History:
On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 blasted off on its ill-fated mission to the moon.
(The astronauts managed to return safely).
On this date:
In 1689, William III and Mary II were crowned as joint sovereigns of Britain.
In 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated as Emperor of the French and was banished to the island of Elba.
In 1898, as tensions with Spain continued to rise, President William McKinley asked Congress to authorize military intervention in Cuba.
In 1899, the treaty ending the Spanish-American War was declared in effect.
In 1945, during World War II, American soldiers liberated the notorious Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in Germany.
In 1951, President Harry S. Truman relieved Gen. Douglas MacArthur of his commands in the Far East.
In 1979, Idi Amin was deposed as president of Uganda as rebels and exiles backed by Tanzanian forces seized control.
In 1988, the hijackers of a Kuwait Airways jetliner killed a second hostage, dumping his body onto the ground in Larnaca, Cyprus.
In 1989, Mexican officials began unearthing the remains of victims of a drug-trafficking cult near Matamoros; one of the dead was University of Texas student Mark Kilroy, who had disappeared while on spring break. (Several cult members were later convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to 50 years in prison.)
In 2001, ending a tense 11-day standoff, China agreed to free the 24 crew members of an American spy plane.
Ten years ago:
The Justice Department reported that more than a third of the women in state prisons and jails said they were physically or sexually abused as children.
Jose Maria Olazabal won the Masters by two shots over Davis Love III.
Five years ago:
President George W. Bush defended his response to a briefing memo from August 2001 about possible terrorist plots against the United States, saying he was "satisfied that some of the matters were being looked into" and that there were no specific threats against New York and Washington.
Pope John Paul II celebrated Easter Mass with calls for world leaders to resolve conflicts in Iraq, the Holy Land and Africa.
Phil Mickelson's agonizing pursuit of a major ended at the Masters when he made an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole.
One year ago:
Group of Seven financial officials meeting in Washington pledged to strengthen their regulation of banks and other financial institutions while anxiously hoping the credit crisis in the United States would be a short one.
French troops captured six pirates after the pirates released 30 hostages who were aboard the French luxury yacht Le Ponant when it was seized off Somalia's coast.

You are welcome, Bianca, it is certainly more work than I thought, keeping track of the day in history every day. You have my sympathies.

Really no problem, Karen.
As things are, it is difficult for me to get a newspaper on a regular basis, anymore.
I used to read the paper with my coffee, now I scan the YAHOO headlines (with my coffee and cigarette),
then I just bring interesting articles here.
Actually, 'Today in history' is something I didn't use to get in my local daily, so it's an interesting
PLUS.
Thanks again,
Bianca
