It seems to me that a lot of important things happened, over the years, in the month of April. Two from the top of my head-FDR died, Hitler also. can you by any chance, find a list of others. Well, I really know you can, being the smartist human alive today. Thanks, Ill be looking in next week.
In fact, fully one twelfth of all historically significant events throughout all time have taken place in April.
Spooky, isn’t it?
Isn’t this in the wrong forum? Or is this an anything goes day?
April is the cruellest month.
Then again, oh to be in England now that April’s there.
No-one saw Hitler die, so according to Schrodinger, until you look, he is both dead and alive. So maybe April isn’t *that *significant.
All the notable (and some not so notable) events for each day of the year arecollected on Wikipedia. There are hundreds for each month.
Actually, more have taken place in April than in February, but less in April than August. It’s a Zodiac thing I think.
Beware the Ides of April.
This post has been smarted by the smartist.
The Titanic sank, and Abraham Lincoln died in april.
South Vietnam fell in April. By gum, I think the OP is on to something! :eek:!
Pocahontas married John Rolfe in Virginia, 04/05/1614
Custer’s Last Stand was only a couple of months after April ended.
The Ford Mustang was born in 1964
And, of course, that is the month in which longen folk to goon on pilgrmages, the holie blisful martyr for to seke, that hem hath holpen, whanne that they were sicke.

… to be in England, in the summertime, with my love, close to the edge.
Abraham Lincoln was on the Titanic??
Abraham Lincoln and Paul Bunyon manned the oars that propelled the Titanic into that iceburg. Multiculturalism doesn’t teach that today, I bet!
At any rate, this should probably be thrown over to MPSIMS.
Moved from ATMB.
It’s a little known fact that Abraham Lincoln actually survived the assassination attempt but was in a near-vegetative state; it was decided that it would be best if it was announced that he had died, thus avoiding the confusion that might ensue regarding the status of the Presidency. The “funeral train” which was supposedly taking his body back to Illinois was actually transporting the comatose Lincoln. Against all odds, considering the state of medicine at that time, he continued to live and occasionally showed signs of awareness of his surroundings. In 1909 he was taken to England to undergo experimental treatment which they hoped would restore him to full consciousness. Despite his advanced age the combination of drugs and electrostatic treatments revived him completely, although with some loss of memory which slowly returned over the course of a year.
While this was hailed (privately) as a great success, it left those who had been preserving the secret of his survival with a problem: what to do next? How would the world react to the news? After some discussion among the members of the conspiracy, and consultation with Lincoln himself, it was decided to return him secretly to the United States and let him live out his life in solitude in the Union he had fought to preserve, Arrangements were made for him to travel on the Titanic with the Astors, who were able to seclude him in their suite. When the ship hit an iceberg it was impossible to bring Lincoln out to a lifeboat. His last known words, spoken to John Jacob Astor, were “The Union stands”.
