Look, there is nothing special about August 25. It's not my birthday or anything. It's just that today is August 25 - so let's talk about August 25. That seems topical or something, right?
10. August 25, 2001 - Aaliyah dies in a plane crash. FUCK, this sucks. Let's rank it at the bottom.
9. August 25, 1883 – France and Viet Nam sign the Treaty of Huế, recognizing a French protectorate over Annam and Tonkin. Well, this should definitely end well and lead to a peaceful resolution of French occupation decades letter.
8. August 25, 1270 – King Louis IX of France dies in Tunis while on the Eighth Crusade. Shitting himself to death. Bloody, bloody shit. Hey, I've talked about this before.
7. August 25, 1920 – The Battle of Warsaw concludes in the Polish–Soviet War. While Poland was on the verge of total collapse, they fought back and the battle ended with the total defeat of the Red Army. Yeah, FUCK YOU RUSSIA. Poland finally gets to win one for once.
6. August 25, 1894 – Baron Kitasato Shibasaburō discovers and identifies the bubonic plague. That's right. A Japanese guy did that. Bet your shitty Western textbooks never taught you that. I bet they never taught you that Japan had Barons. Hell, I just learned that. Up until 1894 I suppose people thought the black plague was probably just caused by witches and shit. Not really, but I'm trying to be funny here. Give me a break.
5. August 25, 1609 – Galileo Galilei demonstrates his first telescope to
Venetian lawmakers. Good for you, Galileo. I guess that's important for
science and stuff, huh?
4. August 25, 1543 – The first Europeans arrive in Japan... with firearms. Well, there goes the neighborhood.
3. August 25, 1814 – British troops march into Washington, DC and burn down the Library of Congress, United States Treasury, Department of War, and several other buildings. Ouch.
2. August 25, 1944 – Paris is liberated by the Allies. You're welcome.
1. August 25, 1976 - Alexander Skarsgård is born.
