brabbel123I saw this on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
defcons_treklit's journal and immediately went over to the Wikipedia to see what other important things, apart from my own birth, happened on October 29th. The requirement on his journal was to list 3 events, 2 births, and 1 death - and I almost meet that requirement. ;-)
October 29th
Events
1863 - Sixteen countries meeting in Geneva agree to form the International Red Cross.
1929 - The New York Stock Exchange crashes in what will be called the Crash of '29 or Black Tuesday, ending the Great Bull Market of the 1920s and beginning the Great Depression.
2004 - In Rome, European heads of state sign the Treaty and Final Act establishing the first European Constitution.
And since I'm Austrian, love Mozart's music, and this year he'd be 250 years old:
1787 - Mozart's opera Don Giovanni receives its first performance in Prague.
Births
1923 - Carl Djerassi, Austrian chemist - contributor to the invention of the oral-contraceptive pill
1971 - Winona Ryder, American actress
Death
1911 - Joseph Pulitzer, Hungarian-born newspaper publisher (b. 1847)
