Some events that have happened over the years on my birthday, which is April 27 are...April 27, 1989 -- Mandatory seatbelt law goes into effect in Italy. Which mean that everyone in Italy must wear a seatbelt as of April 27, 1989.
April 27, 1994 -- The first democratic general electio n in South Africa, in which black citizens could vote. This actually happened on my exact birthday, it means that the vote can now let black people participate.
April 27, 1941 -- World War II: German troops enter Athens. Pretty simple meaning, the German soldiers came to Athens in World War Two to start fighting.
April 27, 1124 -- David I becomes King of Scotland. David the First, was
crowned king of Scotland. April 27, 1865 -- Steamboat "Sultana" explodes in the Mississippi River, and kills up to 1,547. A pretty tragic event I would say for many people.
