History Today :
1455 : The War of the Roses begin with the Battle of St Albans which was won by Richard "Quasimodo" of York. Lancasterians accuse him of cheating after their right flank was routed by a charge of Daffodils and Tulips.
1939 : Hitler & Mussolini sign the "Pact of Steel" creating the Axis. The Pact was a 10 year treaty of friendship and alliance. Hitler failed to notice that the Italian steel was rusted at the core and would break apart under strain.
2006 : Yugoslavia finally ceases to exist after Montenegro narrowly votes for independence from Serbia. This of course adds another competitor to the Eurovision Song Contest.
