This Tweet in History (Archives): September 2009

[SFX: CHURCHBELL] Greetings, History Lovers! Welcome to This Tweet in History, the Week In Review, podcasting to you on tape delay from our North American Studios.

Here are your top stories for the week ending September 26, 2009:

[SFX: SOUND827]World: DATELINE Persian Gulf, September 22, 1980 – Iraq, perceiving post-revolutionary weakness in Iran, escalates clashes to all-out war: http://i-cias.com/e.o/iranirqw.htm
The Back-Story:
[SFX:War: What is it good for] Conflict on the Iran/Iraq border had been festering since 1971, after Iran occupied islands in the Persian Gulf that were claimed by Iraq. After the ouster of Iran’s Shah Pahlevi, Iraq sought to capitalize on the post-revolutionary chaos, and launched an invasion, bolstered by bombing attacks. For the next seven years, the countries fought to no advantage, finally agreeing to a UN brokered peace in 1988.
[SFX: Peace in the Valley]

[SFX: SOUND827]Sports: DATELINE Texas, September 20, 1973 – Bobby rigs battle of the sexes, but Billie Jean’s King: http://bit.ly/HwG7z
The Back-Story:
[SFX: Men men men; It’s a man’s world] It was billed as the Battle of the Sexes, but, in reality, it was more of a publicity stunt. Bobby Riggs, a former Wimbledon champion and number-one ranked player, made the outlandish statement that the women’s game was inherently inferior to the men’s game, and for that reason, even at the age of 55, he would be able to beat the top female player. Billie Jean King answered the call, easily dispatching of the aged chauvinist in straight sets.
[SFX:Anything you can do; I’m winning; The sisters are doing it for themselves]

[SFX: SOUND827]: Things that make you go huh? [SFX: Things that Make You Go Hmm]: DATELINE Soviet Union, September 26, 1983 – Petrov goes with his gut over his computer and his orders, saving the world from nuclear holocaust: http://bit.ly/t3Iwi:
The Back-Story:
[SFX: You dropped a bomb on me] The orders were straightforward: If the US launched a nuclear attack, the Soviet response would be massive retaliation, a strategy of deterence known as Mutually Assured Destruction or MAD [SFX:Mad World]: knowledge of a devastating counterattack would prevent a first strike. However, just after midnight on September 26th, Colonel Petrov witnessed the unthinkable: A nuclear attack from the United States. In the space of five minutes, Colonel Petrov had to make the life-or-death decision of trusting the computer and launching a counterattack, or risking doing nothing with his country under attack. The fact that the world as we know it is still here is testament to his judicious decision. As he later recalled, Colonel Petrov was neither commended nor reprimanded for his actions, and, only 15 years later did the Soviet Union make public how close the world came to nuclear cataclysm.

Histortweet Week in Review - W/E September 12, 2009

[SFX: CHURCHBELL] Greetings, History Lovers! Welcome to This Tweet in History, the Week In Review, podcasting to you on tape delay from our North American Studios.

Here are your top stories for the week ending September 19, 2009:

[SFX: SOUND827]World: DATELINE Europe, September 18, 1809 – Russians, Swedes Finnish War: http://bit.ly/tKOAm
The Back-Story:
[SFX:Alexander Nevsky] It was called the Finnish War, but it actually had less to do with Finland than with Russsia and Sweden; or, really, France and Great Britain. France’s emperor, Napoleon, ruled Continental Europe, but not the British Isles[SFX: Stand or Fall]. Napoleon closed Europe’s ports to British trade, but the Swedes allowed them access, and they were able to trade throughout Europe through that loophole. Napoleon convinced Russia’s Tsar Alexander I to force Sweden to close its harbors to the British. Russia invaded in February, 1808, and, when all was said and done, they were victorious, and vanquished Sweden lost six of its eastern provinces to Russia. Finland was no longer governed from Stockholm, but became part of Russia. This was the last war that Swedenn fought[SFX: I’m going to lay down my sword and shield]

[SFX: SOUND827]Sports: DATELINE Seoul, September 19, 1988 – Louganis, in temporary stitches from hitting board on first dive, makes 2 more dives and makes finals: http://bit.ly/giguA
The Back-Story:
[SFX: Arc of a Diver] In 1983, Greg Louganis was poolside, hiding his face and covering his ears, fearing the worst, as a young Russian diver prepared to execute a 3 ½ somersault in the tuck position, known as the dance of death. Sadly, that moniker proved accurate for young Sergei Chalibashvili. Five years later, at the Seoul Olympics, Louganis himself would attempt that dive as he sought to qualify for the medal round. On his ninth dive, Louganis failed to clear the springboard, which he hit with his head on the way down. Following an awkward crash into the water, he reappeared, stunned but conscious, and tells the team doctor [SFX: Doctor, Doctor] to stitch it up so that he can complete remaining two dives. With temporary stitches in place, he completes the final dives and qualifies to qualify for the medal round. The next morning, with five fresh stitches, Louganis gives a courageous performance,and captures the gold.[SFX:Do it again; The Right Stuff]

[SFX: SOUND827]: Things that make you go huh? [SFX: Things that Make You Go Hmm]: DATELINE San Francisco, September 17, 1859 – Norton I proclaimed U.S.’s first and only emperor. In California (Where else?): http://www.molossia.org/norton.html:
The Back-Story:
[SFX: I Left my Heart in San Francisco] Joshua Abraham Norton immigrated to the United States in 1849, landing in San Francisco with a small fortune, which he parlayed into a quarter of a million dollars within four years. After an ill-thought-out attempt to corner the rice market left him bankrupt, he lost his sanity and disappeared from the public eye. As an immigrant, he was ineligible to run for president, [SFX: Bicycle Song] but, when he reappeared, it was as the self-proclaimed emperor of the United States. [SFX: Simon Bar Sinister] The city largely indulged and celebrated him, even publishing his proclamations and edicts in the local papers. Although he was bankrupt, he lived as an emperor, with restaurants providing him free meals, and the city providing him a stipend for the rest of his life. When he died, in 1880, he was given an elaborate funeral, courtesy of the wealthier citizens of San Francisco, attended by over 20,000 people. [SFX: If I Ruled the World]

HistorTweet Week In Review: W/E September 12, 2009

[SFX: CHURCHBELL] Greetings, History Lovers! Welcome to This Tweet in History, the Week In Review, podcasting to you on tape delay from our North American Studios.

Here are your top stories for the week ending September 12, 2009:

[SFX: SOUND827]World: DATELINE London, September 7, 1940 – Londoners maintain stiff upper lip in the face of the Blitz: http://bit.ly/24oFt4
The Back-Story:
[SFX: London’s Burning] German bombers over the skies of London one Saturday afternoon marked a change Germany’s strategy in its battle for Britain. Germany sought to demoralize the British by destroying London. Over 300 bombers launched the first wave of the Blitz, in an evening of attacks that would last over 12 hours. The Blitz itself continued for 57 successive nights, with over 43,000 casualties among British civilians, and, yet, it failed completely in its goal of bombing the British to submission and opening the door to a German invasion. [SFX: 2 Legit to Quit; The Old Philosopher]

[SFX: SOUND827]Sports: DATELINE Munich, September 10, 1972 – Three seconds are key as Soviets become first to defeat US in hoops: http://bit.ly/9ByP5
The Back-Story:
[SFX: Gimme the Ball] For 36 years, the United States dominated Olympic Basketball. In 1972, a well-drilled, muscular, and precise team from the Soviet Union faced off against a US team that was much less dominant than the 1964 and ‘68 Olympic teams, and which had practiced together only briefly. Both teams advanced easily through the tournament, and, in the gold medal match-up, the Soviets rolled easily through the first half. [SFX: Mama said knock you out]The US team battled back in the second half, pulling to a one-point lead with three seconds remaining. Those last seconds were chaos, with the end result an long inbounds pass and easy lay-up under the Soviet basket. The US protest of the game was overturned, and the US team did not attend the medal ceremony or accept their silver medals.[SFX:You Cheated You Lied]

[SFX: SOUND827]: In other news: DATELINE Alaska, September 6, 1992 – Into the wild, Alaskan hunters discover body of Supertramp in his bus-shelter: http://bit.ly/1DSVy3:
The Back-Story:
[SFX: North to Alaska] Christopher McCandless was born into privilege, but, along the way, rejected his background and money, and,” inspired by W. H. Davies’ “Autobiography of Super-Tramp,” [SFX: Breakfast in America]sought to live as an independent wanderer and conquer frontiers with no map or compass to guide him. His last challenge, the Alaskan wilderness, proved too much for him.[SFX: Midnight Train to Georgia; Just Once] On September 6, two hunters found his emaciated body in an abandoned bus that he had used for shelter. McCandless, who, despite some successes, was woefully unprepared for what Alaska had in store, had starved to death two weeks earlier.

Histortweet Week in Review - W/E September 5, 2009

[SFX: CHURCHBELL] Greetings, History Lovers! Welcome to This Tweet in History, the Week In Review, podcasting to you on tape delay from our North American Studios.

Here are your top stories for the week ending September 5, 2009:

[SFX: SOUND827]World: DATELINE Italy, September 2 1649: Castro’s destroyed. Pope’s Innocent. http://bit.ly/kGfXg
The Back-Story:
[SFX: Crush, Kill, Destroy] In the mid-1600s, the Wars of Castro resulted from a power struggle between two Roman popes and the dukes of Parma, who controlled the city of Castro. The conflict began when Duke Odoardo Farnese offended Pope Urban VIII’s relatives, who urged him to ban Castro’s grain shipments from Rome. The ban left the duke unable to pay off his Roman creditors, and the creditors turned to the pope for help.[SFX: Help Me; A Little Help from my Friends] The pope responded with military action. In 1649, the duke’s son and successor refused to honor his father had signed or to recognize the Bishop of Castro, appointed by Pope Urban’s successor, Pope Innocent X. The pope’s forces marched on Castro and, on September 2, carried out his orders to destroy it completely. [SFX: Disco Inferno] Castro was never rebuilt, and the surrounding territories, which the duke was forced to cede to the pope, were used to settle the duke’s debt.

[SFX: SOUND827]Sports: DATELINE Japan, September 3, 1977 – Oh, Henry! Giant in the Japanese league surpasses Hammerin’ Hank’s HR total: http://bit.ly/14MrJW
The Back-Story:
[SFX: 911 is a Joke] Sadaharu Oh was a power-hitter for the Tokyo Giants with an unusual stance, designed for him by his hitting coache based on Samurai sword technique. In 22 seasons with the Gians, Oh hit 868 home runs, including, on September 3, 1977, number 756 – one more than Hank Aaron’s Major League Baseball records. While it is impossible to know how well Oh would have fared in the US Major Leagues, his contemporaries from the US leagues who played exhibition games agree that he would have had great success in US parks, against US pitching. [SFX: Centerfield; Talkin' Baseball]

[SFX: SOUND827]: Things that make you go huh? [SFX: Things that make you go hmm?]DATELINE England, August 31, 1422 – Henry VI becomes king of England; first of two kingships before his first birthday: http://bit.ly/2pTZwc:
The Back-Story:
[SFX: King Tut; If I ruled the world] Henry VI was the only child of England’s Henry V. When his father died in August of 1422, the 8-month-old prince became the King of England. Two months later, he succeeded his grandfather, Charles VI, as King of France. Young Henry was almost 7 years old on the date of his coronation in England, and a full 9 years old for his coronation in France. His reign, marked by piety and bouts of insanity[SFX: Insane in the Membrane; Crazy], and an attempt to forge peace between the French and English kingdoms, ended in France, in 1453, and in England in 1461, with an additional 6-month reign in 1470-71.[SFX: it's good to be king]
