We've almost hit the half year mark for 2015, and what have I achieved? Nothing.

The German Fuhrer is killed in the Reich Chancery of Berlin fighting the Soviets, according to German radio. - 1961: Victorious Castro bans elections
Fidel Castro declares Cuba a socialist nation saying, "The revolution has no time for elections." - 1973: Thousands strike over pay and prices

Other important dates in our history occurring later this month:
- 4th May - May the fourth be with you
It is considered by many Star Wars fans to be the Star Wars Day for the pun "May the fourth be with you", which sounds similar to "May the force be with you." - 5th May - Liberation Day
Liberation Day in the Netherlands, celebrating the ending of the German occupation. - 9th May - Victory Day
Victory Day in the former Soviet Union, celebrating the capitulation of Nazi Germany.
Couldn't be bothered finding out any more.
