Today is 21 October and this happened in the past:Thank you @Yue always nice to read about it
1️⃣ Today in 1854 Florence Nightingale was sent with a staff of 38 nurses to the Crimean War. This is what the website said about Florence Nightingale: “Florence Nightingale was an English nurse known for her activities during the Crimean War, for which she earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" after her late-night rounds to care for wounded soldiers. She was also a pioneer in statistics, inventing the Nightingale rose diagram—a predecessor to the modern pie chart. Nightingale was responsible for modernizing nursing and setting high standards for sanitation, which ultimately saved countless lives.”2️⃣ Today in 1959 the Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened in New York City. Here you can see about the Guggenheim Museum: https://www.guggenheim.org . There are also Guggenheim museums in Bilbao , Venice and Abu Dhabi
3️⃣ On this day in 1805 was the Battle of Trafalgar. The British Admiral Horatio Nelson defeated the combined French and Spanish fleet. Nelson is shot and killed during the battle. I have two websites about news facts on a day and they both mentioned this battle to be very important.
4️⃣ These people were born today: Swedish chemist, engineer, and industrialist Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite and other explosives and who also founded the Nobel Prizes, was born on this day in in 1833 in Stockholm. Also Kim Kardashian (1980) has her birthday today.
