What Happened In Your Birth Year?

[HiDesertHal]

In my birth year of 1936, the Royal Family of England visited America for the first time in History!

Black American athlete Jesse Owens won several gold medals in the Olympics that year, beating some of Hitler's "Master Race" athletes in track events.

I don't need for anything to "load"...I just knew this.

I read the headlines on my birthday. Really none of them were earth shattering. No great inventions. I never heard of three quarters of the "Stars" that were born with me. One nice fact I found was:
The year I was born, 3.8 million babies in the US were conceived.

The year I was born, "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart premiered, 10 Nazi war criminals were hanged as a result of the Nuremberg Trials, and the US dropped an atom bomb on Bikini Atoll.

FDR was inaugurated the year I was born.

I would think that the fact that *I* was born should be enough excitement for any year......
