Today in News History
On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1573, Eighty Years' War: The Siege of Haarlem ends after seven months. In 1794, The Battle of Trippstadt between French forces and those of Prussia and Austria begins. 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 1922, Martin Dies Sr., American journalist and politician (born 1870) passed away. In 1941, World War II: Montenegrins begin the Trinaestojulski ustanak (Thirteenth of July Uprising), a popular revolt against the Axis powers. In 1971, MF Doom, English-American rapper (died 2020) was born. In 1972, Sean Waltman, American professional wrestler was born. In 1977, Somalia declares war on Ethiopia, starting the Ogaden War. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2024, President of the United States Donald Trump is injured in an assassination attempt while speaking at an election campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.
