[ThatRandomGuy]

I've decided to start a daily thread that I'll update giving a daily details of events that have happened. each day will contain around 1 to 5 events throughout the years, I will only talk about events up to 1999

April 24th

• 1877: Russo-Turkish War begins
• 1916: Easter Rising of Irish republicans against British occupation begins in Dublin
• 1916: Ernest Shackleton and five men of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition launch a lifeboat from uninhabited Elephant Island in the Southern Ocean to organize a rescue for ice-trapped ship Endurance
• 1953: Winston Churchill knighted by Queen Elizabeth II
• 1961: JFK accepts "sole responsibility" following Bay of Pigs
• 1971: Soyuz 10 returns to Earth

When will updates occur?

This will probably be updated around 4pm every day except weekends

Just in case anyone isn't aware, Romulus & Remus is a myth. One the Romans believed in, but not really an actual event.

Why only up until 1999?

Well, most people would already know the stuff but I may make an exception and make it up to like 2007 or something
