1871 The Paris Commune, a radical socialist and revolutionary government, was declared in Paris, signaling the start of a two-month rule.
1917 The First Battle of Gaza: British troops are halted after 17,000 Turks block their advance, marking a significant event in World War I.

1997 The Comet Hale-Bopp has its closest approach to Earth, providing a spectacular show in the night sky and becoming one of the most observed comets in history.
1999 The "Melissa" computer virus, causing massive disruption and highlighting the vulnerabilities of the internet and email systems, was unleashed.
2000: Vladimir Putin is elected President of Russia, marking the start of his long tenure in Russian politics.
2005 A 6.6-magnitude earthquake hits the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan, causing widespread damage and loss of life.
2015 Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashes Germanwings Flight 9525 in the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board in one of the deadliest aviation disasters of the decade.
