London happened Thomas Fargner. He was a baker. Now he's

bakery attached, was on Putting Lane over in London.

37
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:44.759
One night, is of it?

38
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:47.000
Well? His other one was always the state burning. You

39
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:48.520
know it made a lot easier in the morning to

40
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:51.080
start the day. Well, it shots and sparks out and

41
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.319
caught his whole house on fire.

42
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:53.240
The family they.

43
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.680
Were getting able to escape the upstairs out of a window.

44
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.080
The mate she was downstairs, Yeah, she didn't make it.

45
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.960
Now the fire. It quickly spread to his neighbor's houses

46
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:04.000
and fire ended up burning for four days. Eighty percent

47
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.080
of London was burned to the ground. Seventy thousand of

48
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.560
eighty thousand people who lived there Nip were left homeless. Surprisingly,

49
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.599
only six people died, and that include the fire news made.

50
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.039
Now medieval London it was no more. Well, it turns

51
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:19.719
out that was a good thing. See medieval London. It

52
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.080
was a crap hole. It was absolutely gross, disgusting and filthy.

53
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.159
The river, the runs there it Yeah, it was just

54
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.719
nothing but ross sewage. The streets are just covered in

55
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.919
trash and animal poop. But it all burned up. Yeah,

56
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:34.879
so they could all start over again. Now with everything burned,

57
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:36.479
the river was actually cleaner than they had been in

58
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.319
over one hundred years. They redesigned the whole city. When

59
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.960
they rebuilt it, it had fire brakes in the system

60
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.120
to remove waste and excrement and all that kind of stuff. Now,

61
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.360
outside of the six people, after the night, London it

62
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:48.879
became better than it ever been before.

63
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:49.960
You know.

64
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.240
Let's stay in Great Britain seventeen fifty two. All of

65
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.199
Great Britain, even in its territories, the colonies here in America,

66
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.879
everything that belonged to Great Britain went from the Julian

67
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.360
calendar to the Gregarian calendar, so they had to skip

68
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.759
eleven days. So tomorrow it'll actually be September fourteenth, and

69
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.680
then New Year's Day it'll actually be on January first

70
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.000
instead of March twenty fifth.

71
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:14.520
Now that created riots.

72
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.920
All over the British Empire, from London, all over England,

73
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.240
here in America, the Caribbean Islands, people were all pissed.

74
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.439
They believed that the British government stole eleven days from

75
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.120
their lives. Yes, the world still uses the Gregarian calendar.

76
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.839
Eighteen oh seven, as Francis Napoleon was raising hell all

77
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.680
over Europe, Denmark they were preparing to surrender to him.

78
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.120
Then all of a sudden the British Navy showed up

79
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.800
in Copenhagen. Well, the Danes they were estatic. They thought, wow,

80
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:43.680
Britain has actually come to save them. Then the British

81
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.560
warships they let loose with all their cannons, firebombs, foster bombs,

82
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.680
sank the whole Denmark, entire navy. England they didn't want

83
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.680
in Poland get all those navy ships. Nineteen oh one.

84
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.160
Theodore Roosevelt. He's given a speech. It was all about

85
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.040
having a strong foreign policy. He said his famous quote

86
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.040
in there speaks softly and carry a big stick.

87
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:02.720
I think you know.

88
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.560
They always didn't name hurricanes, like in nineteen thirty five,

89
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.759
they simply named a hurricane the Labor Day Hurricane. See,

90
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.319
it made landfall in Florida day as a category five.

91
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.879
It is still the strongest and most intense hurricane ever

92
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.120
to make landfall in the United States. Now, it really

93
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.279
didn't hit a very populated area, but it's still killed

94
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.160
four than thirty two people. Hurricanes, No, hurricanes has been

95
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.839
stronger since nineteen forty four. Future President George H. W. Bush,

96
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.759
the Dad. He was a Navy pilot. He had to

97
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:30.959
parachute out of his plane.

98
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:31.199
Today.

99
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.319
Yeah, got shot all up and caught fire over the

100
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.480
Pacific Ocean when he's on a bombing run during World

101
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:38.639
War Two. Now, after floating in the water for four hours,

102
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.519
he was rescued by the U. S submarine the USS Finback. Now, George,

103
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.120
he was just fine, but he didn't stay on the

104
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.160
finback form a whole month before they could get him

105
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:50.319
back to his ship. Nineteen forty five, aboard the battleship

106
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.279
the USS Missouri, Japan officially signed their surrender papers YEP.

107
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:55.800
That officially ended World War Two.

108
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.120
Same day, over in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh he declared

109
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.759
Vietnam's inn from France.

110
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.439
Ah, we know how that turns out.

111
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:06.879
In nineteen sixty nine, the first ATM machine started dispensing

112
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.800
cash to customers of a chemical bank in Rockville Center,

113
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:13.560
New York. ATM it just stands for automatic Teller machine.

114
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.959
In Egypt, in twenty twelve, they ended the law that

115
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.199
required female TV reporters to wear veils.

116

125
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.120
It was written by Lily Ukilani. She was the last
