ADDITIONAL HISTORY: Headlines You Probably Missed

In keeping with my promise to cover more worldwide events this year, today's episode date (December 26, 1991) is the day the USSR stopped existing. Even though I was young, I still remember the news coverage of the event. I don't, however, remember what else was being reported at that time. Don't worry, I did my research and now you can know, too, with three great additional history stories.

Today's episode is a bit unique. The date I chose is February 19, 1918, but the event actually lasted for many months, and the exact day it began can't quite be pinpointed. This episode is about the devastating Spanish flu--a pandemic that affected millions around the world. Although many were focused on their health, it wasn't the only thing making headlines. What else was being reported at that time?
