🕰️🌞 What happened today? 🤷‍♀️🤓

8️⃣ On this day in 2015, terrorists staged coordinated attacks in Paris and its environs, the deadliest occurring at the Bataclan theatre and concert hall; in all, at least 130 people were killed and more than 350 were wounded. I hope that nobody of the French members of PPG were in Paris when the attacks were and that their families were not harmed! 🙏🙏

I remember when they were talking about it on the TV. I was 10. We didn’t know anything until the next morning when I switched on the TV. We experienced such a feeling of dread and insecurity… The images and the screams of the people… Petrifying.
When we came back to school after the week end, the teachers had cancelled all classes, and made a special lessons on France, rights and liberties, and the dangers of terrorism. It is clear these people "in the name" of our religion (that they tarnish), could commit such horrible crimes.
Thank God, nobody from my family got hurt, but I have thoughts for the families of the victims who died from this horrendous night. 🕊️ This is a duty of rememberance as well.

Thank you everybody who wrote and posted comments. I love this emoji that @Sabri_KC used: 🕊️

I like it because it is a white pigeon or dove right. And that is the symbol of peace and the symbol of luck if for example you get married. And the people who died i hope that they have peace even if something very terrible happened.

So this is for all the victims of the Paris attacks and anywhere of terrorism in any country at any time:

On this day in the year 1919: The events of the 1919 Revolution continued, as Egyptians came out to demand independence from Britain. This revolution became one of the most prominent stations in Egyptian history, and one of the popular movements that strengthened national awareness among Egyptians and later led to the achievement of partial independence.

Today is 15 November and this happened on this date in the past:

1️⃣ On this day in 1630, Johannes Kepler, the German astronomer who formulated three laws of planetary motion, died in Regensburg. If you want to know more about him and what he found out, this website may be nice to read. I just googled it and did not yet read the website myself because it will probably be super complicated but maybe you will understand everything! 🌍🪐💫

2️⃣ The Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, the first of four congresses held by Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia, and France following the Napoleonic Wars, concluded on 15 November 1818. 🤵🤵‍♀️🤵‍♂️👩‍✈️👨‍✈️🧑‍⚖️👩‍⚖️

3️⃣ The Berlin Conference opened on this day in 1884, in which the European countries involved in the colonialist Scramble for Africa met to discuss their claims on the continent. Historians today view the conference as a cover for profiteering and imperial ambitions. 🌍🌍

4️⃣ A farewell parade was held on 15 November 1938 in Barcelona, Spain, for the volunteers of the International Brigades who had fought for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. 🪖⚔️

5️⃣ On 15 November 1959, the Clutter family was discovered murdered on their Kansas farm, and their deaths - as well as the capture, conviction, and execution of two drifters - inspired Truman Capote's classic nonfiction novel In Cold Blood. 🙁 😥😥 This news is maybe for @Idkbro and @Mulanyyy because it is about true crime and maybe it is interesting to know. 🌹🥰

6️⃣ American anthropologist Margaret Mead - who became widely known for her studies of the peoples of Oceania as well as her wide-ranging commentary on social issues such as women's rights, race relations, and nuclear proliferation - died at age 76 on 15 November 1978. 🕯️🙏🕯️

7️⃣ On 15 November 2001, Microsoft released Xbox, a video game console system. 💻🖱️ This news message is i think nice for @Simone724 😊😊

8️⃣ Meeting at Algiers, the Palestine National Council, at the urging of PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, issued a declaration of independence for a state of Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on this day in 1988. 🇵🇸 I hope that there can soon be peace for Israel and Palestine together 🇵🇸 ❤️ 🇮🇱

9️⃣ These people were born on this day: American painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887), German field marshal Erwin Rommel (1891), United States general Curtis E. LeMay (1906), German military officer Claus, Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg (1907), American actor Ed Asner (1929) and British author J.G. Ballard (1930). 🥳🥳🍰🎂🎊🎉🎁🎈

On November 15, 1869, the Suez Canal was officially opened, one of the most prominent events in the history of Egypt and the world. Its opening was a global event attended by many prominent figures, such as Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III.

The canal played a major role in promoting global trade and making Egypt a strategic center for the global economy.

2️⃣ American economist Milton Friedman, who was a leading proponent of monetarism and won the 1976 Nobel Prize for Economics, died at age 94. 🌹🕯️ Does anybody have ANY idea what monetarism is?? Or is it too complicated to explain without everybody looking like 😵‍💫🥴😬

On November 16, 1933, the tomb of King Seqenenre Taa II was discovered in Egypt, one of the rulers of the Seventeenth Dynasty in the era of the Second Transition. Seqenenre was famous for his role in resisting the Hyksos, and the discovery of his tomb was important evidence of that historical era.
