Last year we looked at obscure holidays. This year, let’s look at major world events that occurred each week. Make your best guess in the comments as to the years of each event. No googling!
Week #18
May 1, ____ - Great Britain was formed from a union between England and Scotland. Wales had already been part of England since the 1500's. The United Kingdom today consists of Great Britain [England, Scotland, and Wales] and Northern Ireland.
May 4, ____ - At Kent State University, National Guardsmen opened fire on students protesting President Richard Nixon's decision to invade Cambodia, killing four students. This resulted in the temporary closing of over 450 colleges and universities.
