In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1913, The 1913 Romanian Army cholera outbreak during the Second Balkan War starts. In 1922, Helmy Afify Abd El-Bar, Egyptian military commander (died 2011) was born.
