Today, February 9th, is a significant day in history, marking a number of important events that have shaped our world as we know it today. Here are some of the most noteworthy events that occurred on this day throughout history:

  • In 909, the Kingdom of Cordoba in Spain was divided into a number of smaller Taifa kingdoms, marking the beginning of the Taifa period in the country's history. During this time, a number of smaller Muslim states emerged, each with its own ruler, leading to a period of political fragmentation in the region.
  • In 1238, the Mongol invasion of the Khwarezmian Empire began, marking the first time the Mongol Empire attempted to invade the Muslim world. The invasion was a devastating blow to the empire, and led to the establishment of the Mongol Empire in the region.
  • In 1555, the Peace of Augsburg was signed, ending the religious wars between the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran Princes in Germany. The peace treaty allowed for the first time for the establishment of separate religious communities in the country, and marked a significant step towards religious tolerance in Europe.
  • In 1775, the British Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which required American colonists to provide lodging and supplies to British troops stationed in the colonies. The act was one of a series of measures that the British government took to assert its control over the American colonies, and was a major factor in the growing tensions that led to the American Revolution.
  • In 1825, the Creek War officially came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Indian Springs. The Creek War was a conflict between the Creek Nation and the United States, which ended with the Creek Nation ceding large portions of their land to the United States.
  • In 1849, the California Gold Rush officially began with the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. The discovery of gold in California attracted thousands of people to the region, leading to a massive influx of settlers and a significant increase in the population of the state.
  • In 1942, the Battle of Singapore began, marking the beginning of the Japanese invasion of Singapore during World War II. The battle was a devastating defeat for the Allies, and led to the fall of Singapore to Japanese forces.
  • In 1981, a failed assassination attempt was made on President Ronald Reagan as he was leaving a speaking engagement in Washington, D.C. Reagan was shot by John Hinckley Jr., but was quickly taken to the hospital and was able to make a full recovery.
  • In 1991, the Persian Gulf War officially ended with the signing of a ceasefire agreement between Iraq and a coalition of Allied forces led by the United States. The war marked a significant moment in the post-Cold War world, and helped to solidify the United States' position as the dominant military power in the world.

These are just a few of the many important events that have taken place on February 9th throughout history. Each of these events has had a significant impact on the course of world events, and continues to shape our world today.

Some people say this, Smoke, is Nat's best song, using ambient sound with a haunting repetition of lulls and builds.

The crowd is too jacked up for it, didn't know the song, and so detracted from the performance when they cheered the lull as it were over.

But this video is high clarity for 1998. It's a good historical marker at the time, just 23.
