Funnily, the Hope diamond comes from a bigger diamond stolen from the French royalty during the Revolution; the Bleu de France. It has been reworked later to become the Hope diamond.
hiiiii mulanyyy @Mulanyyy why do people hate him because he made Turkey right? 🙄🙄 I dont know a lot about him yet but i like knowing about people who are important in history because you can learn a lot about it and it is very interesting
Oh edit: I will make the new list later of what happened today in the past because i am a little bit busy with homework ANDDD I have to walk Sint Maarten with two children in our street because their mom cant do that so I will help with that!! 🙂
Cuz MANY ppl belive he wasnt a muslim WHICH IS OKAY he didnt banned to be muslim or muslims from Turkey or did bad things HE WAS A GOOD PERSON (so i know him) but some sources say he was a deist, muslim or atheist
I believe if someone is a good person that person is good and it does not matter what his or her religion is. 🙂
Today is 11 November and this happened on this date in the past:
1️⃣ At 5:00 am on this day in 1918, the Allied powers and Germany signed an armistice document in the railway carriage of Ferdinand Foch, the commander of the Allied armies, and six hours later World War I came to an end. This Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of World War I, was marked with the burial of unknown soldiers in tombs in Paris and London, and a similar ceremony was held at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, on 11 November 1921.
2️⃣ 11 November is Saint Maarten's Day in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and a part of France!! You can read more about it in the Dutch forum on page 5. I dont know if it is coincidence but on the news website it is also said that on this day in 1493, Christopher Columbus discovered the island of St. Martin!!! 🙄🙄
3️⃣ Enslaved Black American Nat Turner was hanged on 11 November 1831 after leading a slave rebellion that resulted in the deaths of some 60 white people; in addition, many innocent enslaved people were massacred in the accompanying hysteria.
4️⃣ On this day in 1865, for her work as a surgeon during the American Civil War, physician Mary Edwards Walker became the first woman to be granted the U.S. Medal of Honor; the award was rescinded in 1917 but reinstated in 1977.
5️⃣ Australian outlaw Ned Kelly, who was the most famous of the bushrangers (bandits of the Australian outback), was hanged in Melbourne on 11 November 1880.
6️⃣ On 11 November 1975, Angola declared independence after the Portuguese withdrew.
7️⃣ Yasser Arafat - who was president of Palestine and leader of the PLO - died in Paris on 11 November 2004.
8️⃣ These people were born on this day: Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821), United States general George Patton (1885), American crime boss Lucky Luciano (1896), American novelist Kurt Vonnegut (1922) and American actor and producer Leonardo DiCaprio (1974).
Today is 12 November and this happened on this date in the past:
1️⃣ The great Leonid meteor shower, in which hundreds of thousands of meteors were observed in one night, was seen on 12 November 1833 all over North America, initiating the first serious study of meteor showers.
2️⃣ On this day in 1859, the first flying trapeze act was performed, by Jules Léotard, without a net, in Paris; a one-piece garment that he popularized was named after him. Because it was in France I think that @Etienne, @Sabri_KC and @Lianshen should also do an acrobat act like Jules Léotard! 😛 😛
3️⃣ Spanish Prime Minister José Canalejas was assassinated on 12 November 1912 by the anarchist Manuel Pardiñas.
4️⃣ On this day in 1931, Abbey Road Studios opened in London and was later made famous by the Beatles, who recorded most of their albums there.
5️⃣ The immigration reception centre at Ellis Island, New York, which processed more than 12 million immigrants, was closed on 12 November 1954.
6️⃣ On 12 November 1970, the Bhola cyclone struck East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), killing hundreds of thousands of people in the densely populated Ganges-Brahmaputra delta; it was perhaps the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history and one of the greatest natural disasters.
7️⃣ The Arches National Park - a desert area of sandstone formations in eastern Utah - was established on this day in 1971; the region had been designated a national monument in 1929.
8️⃣ The U.S. space probe Voyager 1 reached the planet Saturn.
9️⃣ As Italy struggled amid the euro-zone debt crisis, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi submitted his letter of resignation on 12 November 2011; four days later he was succeeded by Mario Monti. @Pennarossa2024, @Simone724 and @PaulGolem do people in Italy like Berlusconi or not? And do you like the prime minister now in Italy? 🙄🙄
🔟 Japanese Emperor Akihito - according to tradition, the 125th direct descendant of Jimmu, Japan's legendary first emperor - was formally enthroned on this day in 1990, nearly two years after the death of his father, Hirohito.
1️⃣1️⃣ These people were born on this day: Chinese leader Sun Yat-sen (1866), American actress and princess of Monaco Grace Kelly (1929), American criminal and cult leader Charles Manson (1934), Canadian musician and filmmaker Neil Young (1945) and Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci (1961).
@Yue_ sorry but i can't really say what i think of the italian politicians or they will ban me forever 🤣 but i can say that, in the last 20 years, i don't remember a decent prime minister or politician we had in Italy... of course some of them were better than another ones, but none of them was really good, in my opinion. And i prefer to stop here, without specifying how most of them do their "job", perfectly knowing that things won't change.
I dont know a lot about him but now there is a woman prime minister, but i forgot her name. It is something like the melona icecream i remember that. 🙂
We only know stories about a lot of fraud with the male prime minister and that he loved a lot of women always. That was in the Dutch news. But I dont know if that is all true and if he was good with politics or not. But if i read what you wrote i guess not. 🙄🙄

I dont know a lot about him but now there is a woman prime minister, but i forgot her name. It is something like the melona icecream i remember that. 🙂half of Italians loved Berlusconi, the other half hated him. Our new prime minister is called Giorgia Meloni. I agree with everything Simone wrote.We only know stories about a lot of fraud with the male prime minister and that he loved a lot of women always. That was in the Dutch news. But I dont know if that is all true and if he was good with politics or not. But if i read what you wrote i guess not. 🙄🙄

The Leonid meteor storm peaks this year on November 17/18. Can best be seen with the naked eye between midnight and sunrise.
Thank you for sharing this news can we see it efen in belgium?Yes, of course, the Leonids are in the constellation Leo. If I'm right, you can see them from today. The Earth is moving in orbit in such a way that you can see the Leonids. So it's not as if the Leonids are flying past the Earth. This is not an airplane that you can observe from your fixed vantage point 😉.
