March 29 – April 4
* In 1933 Adolf Hitler got 99% of the vote in a referendum to ratify German reoccupation of the Rhineland.
Of course you know who cost him that other 1 percent - Frickin' Nader Voters.
* In 1983 WrestleMania was attended by over 93,000 fans at the Pontiac Silverdome, setting a record for the highest attendance at an indoor sporting event in History.
This also marked the first time at a sporting event that there was more trash located in the seats than under them.
* In 1991 the Georgian Independance Referendum passed, giving Georgia complete autonomy from the Soviet Union and establishing it as an independant country.
When Mississippi heard about it they were super pissed.
* In 1969 the US announced a change of strategy in Vietnam, saying the military would now try to begin “Vietnamizing” the war effort.
This was considered a marked change of strategy from the preceding six years when the US had attempted to win the war by an all out strategy of “Mexicanizing” it.
Trivia Time!!
Q. In 1850 what southern California town was incorporated as a city?
A. Los Angeles!
Bonus Factoid!!
In Spanish Los Angeles means “The Angels”. This means the "Los Angeles Angels" are technically “The Angels Angels”. Or as everyone in LA likes to call them, “Not the Dodgers”.
