Post three historical events that share the same date as your Birthday. Others try to guess the date without looking it up.
Me:
1. Thomas Hickey, Continental Army private and bodyguard to General George Washington, is hanged for mutiny and sedition.
2. Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie are assassinated in Sarajevo; this is the casus belli of World War I.
3. Holyfield–Tyson II: Mike Tyson is disqualified in the third round for biting a piece off Evander Holyfield's ear.

1.) 1779, Spain declares war upon Britain creating a de facto alliance with the American Revolutionaries, however King Charles III chose not to sign an actual treaty with them, as one empire encouraging another empire's colonies to rebel would potentially cause numerous proxy wars via colonies.
2.) 1942, The allies at Tobruk, Libya surrender to Erwin Rommel. 30,000 prisoners, 2,000 Vehicles, 2,000 tons of fuel, and 5,000 tons of rations were taken. Rommel then promised "I am going on to Suez,”
3.) 1915, Germany first makes use of poison gas in warfare in the Argonne Forest
Second point makes it obvious.
